LinuxCon 2009: Linux Kernel Roundtable Video Now Online
If you missed LinuxCon, you can watch the roundtable video archive online now.
During the LinuxCon 2009 Linux Kernel Roundtable, Linus Torvalds talked about his work on the kernel saying, "I've been doing this pretty much half my life." Audience members later laughed when roundtable panelist Ted T'so said, "Next year will be the year of the Linux desktop because 'next year' is always the year of the Linux desktop."
Linux Pro Magazine and The Linux Foundation partnered to provide free Live streaming of the LinuxCon 2009 keynotes. The streaming video for The Linux Kernel: Straight From the Source roundtable – with J.E.J. Bottomley, Jonathan Corbet, Greg Kroah-Hartman, Linus Torvalds, Ted T'so, and Chris Wright – is now available online.

West Virginia celebrates 150 years in Wheeling on Thursday
Written by AVC NewsWest Virginia became 35th state after seceding from Virginia on June 20, 1863
WHEELING, W.Va. -- Hundreds of people lined the street outside of Independence Hall in Wheeling on Thursday to watch a ceremony recreating the day West Virginia was formed 150 years ago.
A band played 19th century music, a large choir sang in commemoration and the state legislature gathered along with the public to hear the historic speeches given on June 20, 1863 - the day when West Virginia seceded from Virginia to become the 35th state.
Wheeling Mayor Andy McKenzie welcomed the crowd and spoke proudly of the Friendly City. He said that Wheeling " was essential to the creation of the 35th state and was the first state capitol."
Plans to erect a statue of one-time Virginia Gov. Francis Pierpont were unveiled on the steps of Independence Hall, as well. Pierpont, known as the "Father Of West Virginia," was instrumental in helping West Virginia break away from Virginia.

NY jobless rate dropped to 7.9 percent in Nov.
Posted at: 12/28/2012 10:32 AM
By: Associated Press | WHEC.com
Officials say New York's unemployment rate dropped to 7.9 percent in November from 8.3 percent a month earlier.
The state labor department says about 40,000 fewer people were listed as unemployed than in October even as the number of people with jobs dropped by 42,000. The department had said earlier that employment took a hit from Superstorm Sandy.
It reports there were about 88,000 more private sector jobs in the state compared to a year earlier.
The unemployment rate stood at 7.7 percent upstate and 8.1 percent in the New York City metro area.
The numbers were released Thursday.

Are Appalachian Salamanders Carrying a Deadly Fungus?
Only for science would I spend my Saturday morning sitting on minnow nets in the back of a mud-stained, blue pickup. Armed with latex gloves and the wrong kind of shoes, I was happy to be out of the office and helping Smithsonian researchers catch salamanders at the National Zoo's Conservation and Research Center in Front Royal, Virginia.
Brian Gratwicke, the zoo's amphibian biologist, warned me that this was not going to be a relaxing hike in the woods. A deadly fungus that's wiping out the world's amphibians is spreading through Virginia, and Gratwicke needed extra hands to swab salamanders for evidence of the invader, known as chytrid or Bd (Batrachochytridium dendrobatidis). The results will reveal whether the fungus has reached the Conservation Center's 3,200-acre campus, located in the northern tip of Shenandoah National Park.
Thirty-five volunteers showed up for the bioblitz, a 24-hour inventory of the park's amphibians. Most of the participants were National Zoo employees, wearing T-shirts that read "I Root For Endangered Species" or "Disappearing: 50% of World's Amphibians." There was no hiding their passion for herpetons, the Greek word for reptiles and amphibians. The park is the perfect place for salamander lovers especially. The Appalachian Mountains are home to 14 percent of the world's 535 salamander species.
"What's your favorite herp?" I asked two other volunteers riding in the dirty, blue pickup with me.
"Gopher tortoise," said Edith, an animal pathologist.
"Too many to choose from," said Barbara, a reptile house zookeeper with a degree in anthropology.
We were part of Stream Team One, the group responsible for finding salamanders under rocks and leaf litter along Shenandoah Park's muddy banks. Once caught, we were to swab the salamanders slimy underbellies for fungal spores and then set them free. Although, not everything goes as planned.
Growing up in New York City has made me naive when it comes to nature. I had expected the salamanders to be sitting in plain sight, waiting for a human to scoop them up and tickle their bellies with cotton swabs. What I learned is that the critters are small, fast and they can swim.
Searching for salamanders also helped me understand what it takes to do conservation work. I never realized that the reason we know how many beetles or frogs there are in Virginia or New Mexico is because a biologist got on his or her hands and knees, fought off a few ticks, and counted.
By the time evening came, I had caught two salamanders. Of those two, one escaped its Ziplock bag before he could be properly swabbed. "Perhaps we won't count you as a searcher," Gratwicke told me. The others were more successful. After surveying more than 30 sites, the teams had collected hundreds of samples. "It was a good salamander day," Gratwicke said. "There was a lot of wet stuff and it didn't rain."
Gratwicke now has enough swabs to find out whether or not the chytrid fungus is on Zoo property. The samples will be tested for the presence of chytrid DNA, a process that will take two months. If positive, the Conservation Center will be a handy laboratory to test possible measures to combat the disease. If negative, scientists will try to prevent chytrid's spread. For now, we wait.
The chytrid fungus is a global problem, with the potential of wiping out more than half of the world's 5,743 known amphibian species within our lifetimes. Check out the Amphibian Rescue and Conservation Project, to learn about the National Zoo's recently announced initiative to stop the fungus in Panama.

Thanks for an outstanding article – too often the biodiversity in our own back yards is overlooked, and salamanders are definitely an under appreciated Appalachian treasure!
Joe, that was awesome! It was great getting to spend the day with you and looking at science from a journalist's perspective.
Update: We did actually find chytridiomycosis, but on just one small brown aquatic salamander. It is unclear whether there will be any severe ecological impacts at these low prevalence rates.
The results were published in Herpetological Review 42(2), 2011. For those wanting more information.

Moving From East to West
Cephalosporin resistance has been emerging in Japan, and moving east and west from there, for at least a decade. In 1999 physicians in Kitakyushu in southern Japan saw two men with gonorrheal infections that had not responded to the usual doses of cephalosporins or related drugs. Within two years more resistant cases emerged. A clinic in Hawaii treated a man with the standard dose of cefixime—a cephalosporin that comes in oral form—but he returned because his symptoms had not gone away. The man said he had had two sex partners who came from Japan, both women. One woman could not be found; the other woman and the man were cured only after receiving higher than usual doses of several different drugs.
Rapid international travel allowed the resistance mutation to hopscotch the globe. Sweden found its first case of the less susceptible strain in 2002. By 2005 it was in England. In 2010 Norway identified its first cases, in men who had had sex with women while traveling in the Philippines and Spain. That same year a Swedish man who contracted gonorrhea after having sex with a woman in Japan could not be cured until he received four times the standard dose of ceftriaxone, an injectable cephalosporin that doctors used because oral cefixime no longer worked. "We may now be reaching the ceftriaxone [doses] for which complete bacterial eradication ... will be impossible," warned the physicians who treated him in a February 2011 report.
Last July Japanese researchers announced at a meeting in Canada that they had found a gonorrhea strain in a Kyoto sex worker that was "highly resistant" to both ceftriaxone "and most other antimicrobials tested." The infection was finally controlled with intravenous antibiotics, but experts say that was a one-time fix, impractical for most clinics. In March other researchers announced a similar case in France.
"We can't go back to older antibiotics," says Peter Leone, who is board chair of the National Coalition of STD Directors and medical director of North Carolina's STD prevention program. "Once resistance emerges in gonorrhea, it is there for good. Cephalosporins are all we have left."
Uncertain What Comes Next
Efforts to control STDs may have inadvertently accelerated the spread of resistance. For years standard practice has been to quickly identify an infection, dole out the appropriate treatment and then move on to the next patient. If symptoms return, the assumption has been that the patient was reinfected. Experts now say that such patients may in fact have harbored resistant bacteria that were never killed in the first place—bacteria that the patients possibly spread to others.
Physicians would not have recognized that they were dealing with increasingly resistant bacteria, because the rapid tests most commonly used to diagnose sexual infections cannot identify resistant organisms. Instead the tests look for a DNA segment that is unique to gonorrhea, destroying the bacteria in the process. Identifying resistance requires intact living bacteria that researchers can grow in a lab dish and expose to antibiotics to see which drugs work or do not.
Routinely testing patients for resistant strains with the culture tests instead of rapid tests would be costly and time-consuming. But in the February New England Journal editorial, lead author Gail Bolan, director of the CDC's division of STD prevention, argues that it is necessary. She also recommends retesting patients after treatment to make sure the infection is gone.
Doctors who treat sexually transmitted infections say that although such changes are sensible, they are not easy. Collecting bacterial samples for analysis requires supplies that most offices do not keep on hand, says Melanie Thompson, executive director of the AIDS Research Consortium of Atlanta, which also does STD testing. "A health care provider who suspected a resistant case would have to recognize it," she explains, "contact the CDC or state health department to report it, go about getting the materials and then get the patient back in to give a sample."

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles [TV Series]
Based on the phenomenally popular Terminator movie franchise, the Fox network's Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles was NOT a sequel to the third theatrical film in the series, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines--nor could it have been, since (SPOILER ALERT!) that particular epic ended with the destruction of civilization and the death of the heroine. Instead, the Fox TV series picked up the action where the second of the three films, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, left off, going its merry way as if Terminator 3 never existed. After the reprogrammed T-800 Model 101 Terminator (the role played in the second film by Arnold Schwarzenegger) had sacrificed itself to save humanity, Sarah Connor (Lena Headey) and her 15-year-old son John (Thomas Dekker)--who was destined to grow up and lead a resistance movement against the rulers of post-apocalyptic Earth--were stalked by the futuristic agents of the covert US government project Skynet. Just as the titular robotic villain of the original 1984 Terminator movie had sent been back into time to kill Sarah Connor so that John would never be born, so too had the bad guys travelled backward to 2007 to knock off both John and Sarah. Fighting fire with fire, the Connors became fugitives from the law, dedicating themselves to preventing Skynet from being created--and, ultimately, from devastating the earth in a nuclear holocaust. They were aided by Connor's mysterious classmate Cameron Phillips (Summer Glau), who was actually a "good" reprogrammed Terminator dispatched from the Future to protect Sarah and the teenage John Connor by the "grown-up" version of John. Unfortunately, evil Terminators continued popping up everywhere, notably a "substitute teacher" named Mr. Cromarite (Owain Yeoman in the pilot episode, Garret Dillahunt thereafter), who in the pilot episode set the series' plot in motion. Also in pursuit of the fugitive Connors was human FBI agent James Ellison Richard T. Jones. Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles debuted January 13, 2008. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A Little Thing Called Murder
This true-crime biopic explores the life of mother-and-son grifters Sante and Kenny Kimes, from Kenny's childhood apprenticeship in early-'80s Honolulu to Sante's murder trial in late-'90s New York City. Fortyish Sante Kimes (Judy Davis) uses her looks and her brazen disregard for the law to acquire whatever she wants in life, from jewels to cars to large insurance settlements. Her most frequent accomplice in these endeavors? Son Kenny (former General Hospital actor Jonathan Jackson), who spends most of his childhood serving as a bit player, then later a co-star, in his mother's schemes. When a slavery -- yes, slavery -- conviction sends Sante to prison, Kenny enjoys a more or less normal adolescence with his wealthy father (Chelcie Ross), who has long refused to marry Sante. But upon her return from the big house, the now over-the-hill Sante re-enlists her son's assistance in her amoral activities. Eventually fingered for the murder of a wealthy Manhattan matron, Sante finds herself in court, where her son's testimony may well end her lifelong crime spree once and for all. Adapted by Randy Stone and Teena Booth from Jeanne King's book Dead End: The Crime Story of the Decade: Murder, Incest and High-Tech Thievery, A Little Thing Called Murder premiered January 23, 2006, on the Lifetime cable network. It was actually the second TV movie to explore the Kimes' story, following Mary Tyler Moore's turn in the 2001 CBS offering Like Mother, Like Son: The Strange Story of Sante and Kenny Kimes. ~ Brian J.

A good Samaritan becomes the victim of voodoo spells in this horror story produced by Scream screenwriter Kevin Williamson. When an aged Creole woman is caught in a car wreck in a remote section of Louisiana, Ray (Rick Cramer), the owner of a nearby filling station, speeds to the scene of the accident to help. However, Ray doesn't know that the woman is a voodoo practitioner whose vehicle holds a case full of magic talismans. The magical spirits lead Ray to an unexpected death, and then they take over his body, turning him into a bloodthirsty monster. As the reanimated Ray makes his way into town, a group of teenagers including Eden (Agnes Bruckner) and Tammy (Bijou Phillips) find themselves running for their lives from the supernatural creature, while Deputy Turner (Method Man) looks for a way to keep the strange menace under control. Venom went into release in the fall of 2005 -- only a few weeks after Hurricane Katrina devastated much of the state of Louisiana, making the film seem unfortunately topical. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

A young man who has flirted with death is forced to come to terms with mortality in this tale of terror based on a story by Stephen King. Alan Parker (Jonathan Jackson) is a college student studying art at the University of Maine in 1969. Cursed with an over-active imagination, Alan constantly obsesses over the worst outcome of any situation, and when he begins to suspect his girlfriend, Jessica (Erika Christensen), is thinking of leaving him, it drives him to the brink of suicide. Shortly after this brush with death, Alan receives word that his mother, Jean (Barbara Hershey), has suffered a severe stroke and may not pull through. Alan grabs his jacket and hits the road, hoping to hitchhike the one hundred miles to the hospital. As it happens, Alan is trying to catch a ride on Halloween night, and after he's picked up by one George Staub (David Arquette), he realizes that he's riding the highway with a creature not of this Earth. Riding the Bullet was directed by Mick Garris, marking the fourth time the filmmaker has brought one of King's stories to the cinema or television screen. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Not a sequel, not really a prequel, sort of a remake, more of a re-imagining, Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights follows the blossoming love affair of young couple Katey (Romola Garai) and Javier (Diego Luna) against the backdrop of the Cuban Revolution in 1958. Katey is an American girl living in Cuba with her parents who meets Javier, a local. Javier takes Katey to a nightclub where he teaches her how to dance dirty Cuban-style. The two grow closer and closer, but when Castro takes over, Katey's parents decide to flee for the U.S., leaving Katey to make the ultimate decision. Tying the film together with the classic 1987 original is Patrick Swayze who reprises the role of Johnny Castle in a cameo. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

Director Christopher Nolan follows up his breakthrough sophomore film Memento with this remake of a stylish Norwegian thriller. Al Pacino stars as Detective Will Dormer, a Los Angeles Police Department legend who temporarily escapes an internal affairs investigation that may ruin his career by traveling to Nightmute, AK, the remote site of a murder that has the local authorities flummoxed. Along with his partner, Hap Eckhart (Martin Donovan), and the small town's wide-eyed rookie investigator, Ellie Burr (Hilary Swank), the exhausted Dormer probes the brutal slaying of a teenage girl who was rumored to have a secret lover. A clever ruse quickly lures the killer into a police trap, but the suspect escapes and a tragic accident at the scene leaves Dormer at the mercy of the murderer, a pulp crime novelist named Walter Finch (Robin Williams). As Finch plays a dangerous game of extortion with Dormer, the detective's mental health deteriorates rapidly from guilt over his complicity in a crime and sleep deprivation compounded by the lack of darkness in the land of the midnight sun. Meanwhile, the bright and dogged Ellie continues putting the pieces of a complex puzzle together despite Dormer's skillful attempts to lead the investigation toward the right suspect, but away from his own malfeasance. Insomnia co-stars Paul Dooley, Nicky Katt, Maura Tierney, and Jonathan Jackson. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Natalie Babbitt's award winning book for children comes to the screen in a lavish adaptation from Walt Disney Pictures. Winnie Foster (Alexis Bledel) is a girl in her early teens growing up in the small rural town of Winesap in 1914. Winnie's parents (Victor Garber and Amy Irving) are loving but overprotective, and Winnie longs for a life of greater freedom and adventure. One day, while exploring the nearby woods, Winnie gets lost, but she has the good fortune to happen upon the Tuck Family, who live nearby - mother Mae (Sissy Spacek), father Angus (William Hurt), and sons Jesse (Jonathan Jackson) and Miles (Scott Bairstow). The Tucks are warm and caring people, and Winnie feels right at home with them; she also finds herself developing a serious crush on Jesse, and isn't so sure she wants to return; meanwhile, her parents become increasingly distraught as they search for their missing daughter. But in time Winnie discovers there's a secret behind the seemingly idyllic lives of the Tuck Family; they have discovered a magical spring on their property, and anyone who drinks from it will never grow old and never die. While to Winnie this sounds like a wonderful prospect, the Tucks have come to understand this is as much of a curse as a blessing, especially when she realizes Jesse is considerably older than she is. The Tucks also have to contend with the presence of the sinister Man In The Yellow Suit (Ben Kingsley), who wishes to buy their property and make a fortune from their "fountain of youth." Tuck Everlasting was directed by Jay Russell, who previously directed the acclaimed family film My Dog Skip. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Skeletons in the Closet
Single father Will Reed (Treat Williams) and his teenaged son Seth (Jonathan Jackson) have increasingly uncomfortable conflicts that go beyond the usual coming-of-age difficulties. Seth has grown reclusive and mysterious as his father does his best to communicate with him. Seth's binge drinking and drug use get him in trouble with his girlfriend Robin (Schuyler Fisk) and her family, and his unwelcome advances on Tina (Linda Hamilton), a co-worker of Will's who has a crush on Will, make things even more unsettling. Will is hardly prepared for what comes next: Seth begins giving his father items of clothing as gifts -- items that may be evidence of a series of murders in their small New Hampshire town. Each time Will confronts Seth with the evidence, a very calm Seth has an innocent answer. Even the police think Will is going too far. Is Seth a serial killer, or is Will losing his mind?

Trapped in a Purple Haze
Max Hanson (Jonathan Jackson), a popular high school student with considerable artistic and athletic talent, finds himself under pressure from everyone--especially his parents--to focus exclusively on art and to give up ice hockey. The only person who apparently harbors no judgmental attitudes towards Max is a teenage girl named Molly (Carly Pope), with whom he falls in love. Unfortunately, Molly is "into" wild parties and drugs--and before long, so is Max. As he sinks deeper and deeper into the morass of heroin addiction, Max seems to be beyond redemption . . . and far beyond the influence of his caring but domineering mother Sophie (JoBeth Williams). Posing a number of tough questions, but wisely offering no easy answers, the made-for-TV Trapped in a Purple Haze originally aired on April 17, 2000. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Beth Cappadora (Michelle Pfeiffer), a photographer, is married to Pat (Treat Williams), a restaurateur, and they would seem to have a perfect life in Madison, Wisconsin. In 1988, they have three small children that Beth takes along to her high school reunion in Chicago. While checking in at a crowded hotel lobby, her middle child, three-year-old Ben, disappears. Despite a frantic search and much media coverage, the boy is not found, and Beth soon falls apart. Nine years later, the family has only barely recovered when they move to Chicago so Pat can open a restaurant with his father. A few months later, a neighborhood boy named Sam Karras (Ryan Merriman) knocks on the door, asking to mow the lawn. Beth notices the boy's appearance exactly matches a time-elapsed photo of Ben constructed by the police; she takes pictures of the boy and contacts both her husband and police detective Candy Bliss (Whoopi Goldberg). School fingerprints of Ben and Sam match, and the boy is taken to foster care while Candy and Beth confront the father, George (John Kapelos). It seems Ben was abducted by an unbalanced woman who was Beth's high school classmate; the boy was eventually adopted by George when he married "Sam's" new mother, and she later committed suicide, leaving no one to blame. Having grown up happily with George, Sam has no memories of his real parents. Now Beth and Pat must find a way to bond with Sam, and heal older brother Vincent (Jonathan Jackson), who was supposed to be watching Ben at the time he disappeared, and has been suffering from guilt ever since. ~ Ron Wells, Rovi

You don't pay for tutoring unless you find a good fit!
It may seem strange to begin with a statistic, but I trust you will agree it's not wholly inappropriate. During the 2009-2010 school year, my 11 AP Chemistry students had a 100% pass rate with the following score distribution: Seven of them scored a 5, three scored a 4, and one scored a 3. The high scores are greater than three times the national average. What makes this even more impressive is that I only saw my students an average of 2.5 times per week (2 days one week, 3 days the next, alternating).I was trained as a Classicist, a Chemist, and a Mathematician. I have enjoyed tremendous success as a teacher and tutor of Mathematics, Science and Languages, but what I am proudest of is the comfort and trust that I have managed to engender among my students. My students are relaxed around me, and when they are relaxed, they can learn.I am happy to discuss any and every aspect of my tutoring. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you might have.
My background in Mathematics is quite deep and extensive, and Differential Equations has always held a strange fascination for me among the Mathematical sub-disciplines. Where Linear Algebra enables one to start seeing the deep connections that exist among mathematical structures themselves, Differential Equations enables one to start seeing the deep connection between mathematics and the operation of the real world. In other words, one begins to finally understand, fundamentally, why the natural... Read More

Is Obama to Blame for High Gas Prices? >
Obama Can Do Something About the Struggle at the Pump
The president should know there are viable options on the table
March 2, 2012
President Obama must be feeling the pain at the pump, too. For the past week, he's been trying to claim the offensive on the gas price debate, telling the American people, "Anyone who tells you we can drill our way out of this problem doesn't know what they're talking about—or isn't telling you the truth," saying there are no "silver bullets" or "quick fixes." But that's not entirely true.
[How High Gas Prices Could Help Obama.]
The president is right about one thing: Domestic action to increase production will not lower gas prices set on a global market. Between growing demand in the developing world and the power of OPEC, Americans can expect gas prices to stay relatively high for the foreseeable future. But that alone is not the problem. The problem is that Americans are struggling every day to pay for high-priced gasoline. And that is something the president can certainly do something about.
A 2011 Wood Mackenzie study compared Obama's energy policies with an alternative pro-development policy that would open more lands for drilling, ease permitting, approve the Keystone XL pipeline, leave fracking to the states, etc. The results? By 2015, current policies will have cost the country 1.27 million barrels of oil equivalent per day, $36 billion in government revenue, and $100 billion in private incomes.
[Has the 'Peak Oil' Tipping Point Arrived?]
I've examined this point further elsewhere (and found that Obama could turn government revenue from drilling into a tax credit that drops the price of gasoline by $1.80 a gallon), but the real point here is that domestic oil and gas development has a real, material, and significant impact on domestic wealth creation, jobs, and the ability to pay. If you own the gas station, you don't care how high the price of gas is. The "silver bullets" and "quick fixes" in energy aren't going to reduce prices at the pump, but would allow us to take command of our fiscal situation and create an economy that can comfortably weather global oil price spikes. And who wouldn't want that?
[What Obama and Ben Bernanke Should Do About Gas Prices.]
The president knows that the Americans struggling to fill their gas tanks will make it difficult for him to keep his job. He's trying to sell us on the idea that there's nothing he or any other politician can do to fix it. But a president interested in leaving behind a strong, successful economy, able to roll with the punches would know that there are viable options on the table, and would do everything he could to get us there.

We were at the doctor's every other week...
"The fall of 2005 was horrible for Wade. We were at the doctor's every other week with ear infections or colds or sinus infections (and actually all of Wade's life has been rather sickly). The end of December 2005 (upon recommendation from Dr White) we started giving Wade Shaklee's Nutriferon, one tablet per day, crushed in his milk. I can't believe how much better Wade's health has gotten! He is growing, gaining weight and we are not going to the doctor's for medication"
- K.S. (Wade's mother)
The doctors were ready to put in a feeding tube...
"I love the Shaklee products! At 2 1/2 years old, Jake's weight was below the lowest level on the charts. The doctors were ready to put in a feeding tube. We were trying to help him gain weight using Carnation Instant Breakfast but it wasn't working. Jake has sensory-integration disorder which makes it difficult to feed him. Jake was fatigued and run down. Dr White recommended MealShakes for Jake. He loves the chocolate flavor! I give him 2 shakes per day. He went from the 10th percentile to the 25% percentile for weight in no time! He is more robust; his asthma seems better; he is just a happier kid"
- W.M. (Jake and Sydney's mother)
My son does not care for most vitamins...
"I have been using Shaklee products for about 2 years and I am thrilled with the results! My family takes the multivitamins with and without iron, children's Ocean Wonders multivitamin, Nutriferon and OmegaGuard. My son does not care for most vitamins and it has been hard to find a chewable he likes. With Shaklee, he likes all the flavors. I recently ran out of my Nutriferon and delayed getting a new bottle for about 1 ½ weeks. During the week I experienced more allergy symptoms than in weeks past. I also love the OmegaGuard. I have dry skin and it has remarkably improved since using the vitamin. Thanks Shaklee and Dr White!"

Investigators have pinpointed two men as "possible suspects" who were seen in images near the finish line of this week's Boston Marathon -- moments before twin bombs there exploded, killing three and injuring about 180 others -- a law enforcement official said.
A circular sent out Wednesday to federal and state agencies features the photos "in an attempt to identify the individuals," who were described as being of "high interest" to investigators.
One of the men is seen carrying a black backpack. An FBI official earlier said that authorities believe the bombs were placed inside a black nylon backpack or bag.
The source said that authorities had not yet identified the two men by name and that the photographs were not being released to the public for fear of impeding the investigation.
Earlier Wednesday, two official sources with knowledge of the investigation identified a man -- who also hasn't been named -- as a possible suspect in the attack.
Seen on a video, this man wore a white baseball cap. One of the sources added that the cap was on backwards and the man was also wearing a light-colored hooded sweatshirt and a black jacket.
It was not immediately known if this man is one of those alluded to in the photographs distributed to law enforcement officials.
This movement in the investigation came two days after the horrific blast shook the city, during what is traditionally one of its biggest and most beloved events each year.
By Wednesday, authorities had made "significant progress" in the case but no arrests, a federal law enforcement source told CNN's John King.
Sources previously told CNN that a suspect was in custody, but both Boston police and the FBI denied that any arrests had been made.
A Boston law enforcement source told CNN, "We got him," but wouldn't clarify whether that meant a suspect has been identified or arrested. Some federal sources said it was even too early to say investigators had identified the suspect, but several sources in Boston told CNN that they have a clear identification.
Speaking on CNN's The Situation Room, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said investigators were closer to cracking the case "every hour." But he urged patience with the probe.
"What I would say and I would ask of everyone is we give law enforcement the space to do their work," Patrick said. "When they are ready with a complete picture, they will tell us what that picture is."
He added, "I wish they had nailed the perpetrator within minutes of this catastrophe, but I understand from experience it's going to take some time."
Earlier Wednesday, investigators revealed more details about the makeup of the bombs, which exploded 12 seconds apart. One had been housed in a pressure cooker hidden inside a backpack, the FBI said in a joint intelligence bulletin. The device also had fragments that may have included nails, BBs and ball bearings, the agency said.
The lid of a pressure cooker thought to be used in the device was found on a rooftop at the scene, a federal law enforcement official with firsthand knowledge of the investigation told CNN.
The second bomb was also housed in a metal container, but it was not clear whether it too was in a pressure cooker, the FBI said.
The U.S. government has warned federal agencies in the past that terrorists could turn pressure cookers into bombs by packing them with explosives and shrapnel and detonating them with blasting caps.
The bombs
Photos obtained by CNN show the remains of a pressure cooker found at the scene, along with a shredded black backpack and what appear to be metal pellets or ball bearings. Scraps of at least one pressure cooker, nails and nylon bags found at the scene were sent to the FBI's national laboratory in Virginia, where technicians will try to reconstruct the devices, the agent leading the investigation said Tuesday.

Southern Galaxies
- ‹ Previous program
- 334 of 2169
- Next program ›
The low southern sky at this time of year features two faint constellations -- Sculptor and Fornax -- that feature two faint, nearby galaxies. Both galaxies orbit our own galaxy, the Milky Way.
Harvard astronomer Harlow Shapley discovered the galaxies in 1938. But the galaxies were so faint that he almost missed them.
Shapley was looking at a photographic plate of Sculptor when he noticed a smudge. He thought the smudge was just a fingerprint or a defect in the plate. But other pictures showed the same smudge, convincing Shapley that the object was real. A similar object appeared in the neighboring constellation of Fornax. Shapley thought both objects were exotic star clusters, with their stars spread out from one another.
In the 1940s, though, astronomers realized that both objects were actually faint, puffy galaxies of a type never seen before. Since then, astronomers have found many similar galaxies orbiting the Milky Way. The galaxies are called "spheroidals" -- they're puffy balls of stars no more than a few thousand light-years across. They're spread-out, and they have little gas with which to make new stars. Yet they seem to be the most common type of galaxy in the universe.
The Sculptor galaxy is about 300,000 light-years away, while the Fornax galaxy is about half again as far. Yet both galaxies orbit the Milky Way like two colonies in the Milky Way's galactic empire.

Slow Cooker *Mostly* Vegan Zuppa Toscana
I really have to laugh at myself for this one. I was so excited about my new plan: to cook more vegetarian meals to help Dear Hubby get more vegetables and less animal fats/proteins per the doctor's orders! I went to the market and bought a bunch of weird new foods (ha!) - cheese that's not really cheese, meat that's not really meat, and a whole host of new veggies and fruit to stock my fridge. I thought long and hard about what my first vegetarian meal would be that I would present to Dear Hubby, ceremoniously. And it all went really well. The meal was delicious. And I plastered all over the interwebs (FB, Twitter) that I had made an amazing vegan meal...until I realized that one of the main ingredients I used was chicken broth!
Note, vegetarians (and especially vegans) DON'T use chicken broth!
So I'm calling my soup "mostly" vegan :) For those of you who are strictly following a vegan or vegetarian diet, just make sure you use a vegetable broth or vegetarian "chickin" broth as a substitute! I promise, I'll get the hang of this sooner than later.
This soup was inspired by Dear Hubby's favorite at Olive Garden, which is loaded with REAL Italian sausage, bacon, and cream. But this was a wonderful, much healthier, but still super flavorful substitute. For those not following a vegan diet, you can add 1 Tbsp of half and half or cream directly into your individual bowl for a bit of pizazz. Dear Hubby said he loved it and would definitely eat this again and again! And each bowl/serving has a full CUP of kale in it!
This soup was entirely too photogenic.
I couldn't stop taking pretty pictures of it!
I topped mine with special non-dairy Daiya shredded cheese and diced tomatoes from our garden.
I was surprised at how good it tasted and how it actually melted into the soup!
As for the Italian "Sausages", they were entirely grain and veggie based. These had no soy in them. Ingredients of the AWESOME Field Roast Italian "sausages": Vital Wheat Gluten, Filtered Water, Safflower Oil, Red Wine, Eggplant, Onions, Yeast, Garlic, Barley malt, Dried Bell Pepper, Fennel seed, Granulated Garlic, Spices, and Sea Salt. HIGHLY recommended!!
- Have you ever bought "fake" sausage before?
- How often do you use a slow cooker?
{*Mostly* Vegan Zuppa Toscana}
A hearty Italian soup made with kale, potatoes, Italian sausage, and onions, inspired by Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana.
- Slice Italian "sausages" into 1mm round circles.
- Saute diced onions, garlic, and sausages in a pan until cooked and browned.
- Remove from heat and pour into a large crock pot.
- Saute the diced kale for 2 - 3 minutes, just enough to soften and lightly brown.
- Add kale to crock pot and remaining ingredients (except for 1 cup water).
- Cook on high for 4 - 6 hours.
- Add remaining 1 cup of water after about 4 hours.
- Serve with Daiya cheese and diced tomatoes, optional.
Yields 4 Servings

How do you come up with these things?? :)
I wish I had your skills in the kitchen. I'll be the first to admit I am not so great at cooking, but practice can make perfect! Do you find that it's more expensive to eat as healthy as you do (although most definitely a worthy investment!)? Have you had to cut back on other things to extend the food budget?
Oops one more thing...
How many cups are a serving? :) I think I'll make this tomorrow night! How awesome will this recipe be in the Fall!
Oh even better! This looks
Oh even better! This looks sooo good. Can't wait to try it!
I have bought "Gimme Lean"
I have bought "Gimme Lean" sausage...I think all soy-products taste the same. I am a fan of Seitan though :)
I have not used a slow cooker before.
Sausages purchased Hifrom?
Hi K, Did you buy these at regular grocery store or health (Sunflower/Sprouts) food store? They sound Yummy
Where can you get this non
Where can you get this non-soy meat substitute? Sounds delish Kelly!
Cooking now
In the crock pot as I write this, question, did you tell your hubby the sausage was vegan? I am making a half batch cause hubby won't eat anything new
Soup Taste
Well the soup was delicious, I made a half batch, Hubby is not brave enough to try vegetarian products, so I use my baby 1 1/2 Qt crock pot, I have no problem trying new things, the sausage have a really nice flavor, thinking of using them in Spaghetti sauce next, also bought the Chipotle versions not sure what I will do with them yet.
That is some beautiful soup.
That is some beautiful soup. You crack me up. Love that you used chicken broth. I'd totally do it too, but it worked!! :)
Hi Kelly - where did you buy the cheese? I've been on the lookout for a "fake" cheese without soy. I shop at Sprouts and Whole Foods so any chance I might find it there? Thanks!
I'm guessing you don't get their sale emails, Sprouts bought out Sunflower, look at the shelves, they are adding Sprouts labeled items, last week I noticed all sorts of new egg choices from Sprouts as well as other items.
It's a beauty
Finally, it's posted! Yay. It's always a no brainer when the ingredients are most of my favorite things.
Soup Addict
This looks so good! During the winter I live on soup so I can't wait to try this!!
This soup looks great! I
This soup looks great! I totally think I could fool my meat eating, no soy eating husband into eating this. I'll tell him after he's devoured it!
I am happy you are finding no
I am happy you are finding no soy vegan products. I will put thus on my menu for next Sunday just altering ever so slightly for our diet. Thanks-I love to cook but I am not into making up my own recipes much-much appreciated!
You make me smile!
I remember eating French Onion soup when I was doing mostly vegetarian last year and didn't realize it was made with beef broth - it's a process to learn these things! I always recommend vegetable stock over broth, it has a richer flavor to me. :)
I love my crockpot! I also
I love my crockpot! I also used to make my own seitan, because field roast and tofurky are so expensive. I still need to e-mail you those recipes. I haven't forgotten.... my life is just insane right now. I promise I will do it this weekend, and you won't be disappointed. ;)
Daiya on soup.... love it! I
Daiya on soup.... love it! I've never used it like that.
I have had vegan sausages. they are ok, but I prefer to make my own seitan sausages because the sodium in the store bought is so high.
This looks great!
This looks really awesome. I will definitely bookmark/pin this recipe and try it later :-)!
I just threw this in the
I just threw this in the crock pot last night, and it turned out fabulous! Thanks for the recipe!
Hi! Just a quick question, when did you add the potatoes to the soup. I love the olive garden version of zuppa toscana. Thanks!

Kelly, I am a big fan of pressure cooking. Do you think it would work? How long under pressure?
Chicken broth-that's funny! I had a similiar experience when I thought I had gone Vegan and realized that the honey I was eating wasn't vegan. Oops! Thanks for posting your recipe and your experiences. I enjoy seeing how you've started to work out various ideas in the kitchen.
Substitute for wine?
We don't drink nor use wine in my cooking. Do you have any substitutions you can recommend?

WHEN news broke early Sunday morning that a tentative agreement had been reached between the millionaire-club players' association and the billionaire-club National Hockey League owners, local fan reaction was curiously muted.
Of course there was not much to cheer about on the ice while the pros stayed off it for more than three months. The Vancouver Giants have been uncharacteristically bad this season and Team Canada was hugely disappointing at the World Juniors over the holidays.
The shortened season will see the Canucks play only teams from their own conference. The decision makes business sense, but once again the fans are the losers. No Montreal. No Leafs and Brian Burke to jeer. No Sidney Crosby. Not even a sighting of the one who got away: Cody Hodgson.
Against that backdrop why would diehard Canucks fans again invest their emotions in a team that has yet to win it all?
It's difficult for non-sports lovers to comprehend how deflating the Canucks exit from the first round of the playoffs was to loyal fans last year. The team was supposedly deeper and tougher than the one that lost to Boston the previous year. In the end it was neither.
That slough of despond might have been replaced with optimism last summer had a major trade taken place with the movement of Roberto Luongo. But we're still waiting on that.
Now, Canucks ownership need to do more than paint a "thank you," on the ice - especially while charging full price to watch what should be pre-season games. Free seats or winning the Stanley Cup are obvious remedies.
