On the 20-year anniversary of his groundbreaking masterpiece "Roger & Me," Michael Moore's "Capitalism: A Love Story" comes home to the issue he's been examining throughout his career: the disastrous impact of corporate dominance on the everyday lives of Americans. But this time the culprit is much bigger than General Motors, and the crime scene is far wider than Flint, Michigan.
"Moore's fireball of a movie could change your life. It had me laughing with tears in my eyes." – Peter Travers Rolling Stone
"... this is Moore's magnum opus: the grandest statement of his career-long belief that big business is screwing the hard-working little guy while government connives in the atrocity." – Mary Corliss TIME
"... 'Capitalism' is a Molotov cocktail thrown straight at the heart of the New York Stock Exchange. The impact is spectacular." – Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune
"'Capitalism' is his best one yet. ... Moore is at the top of his game. ... In all the debate over his politics, Moore's artistry tends to get overlooked, but this blunt instrument in a ball cap has, in fact, become a highly sophisticated filmmaker ..." – Brian D. Johnson MacLeans
"... broadly entertaining, ceaselessly provocative, wildly ambitious ..." – Richard Corliss Fortune
"... Moore has grown as a filmmaker, honing his ability to corral stories about everyday people ... 'Capitalism: A Love Story' is Moore's loudest, most heartfelt warning ..." – Sean P. Means Salt Lake Tribune
"'Capitalism: A Love Story' is a Michael Moore movie that Fox News viewers might like. ... prophetic ..." – Duane Dudek Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
"'Capitalism' is impassioned, informative and entertaining... This is quintessential Moore ..." – Claudia Puig USA Today
"... 'Capitalism: A Love Story' is a searing outcry against the excesses of a cutthroat time." – Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly
"... without question destined to be his most controversial film yet." – Betsy Sharkey Los Angeles Times
"... moving beyond words. ... a brilliant moment of cinema ..." – Manohla Dargis New York Times
"By returning to his roots, professional gadfly Michael Moore turns in one of his best films with 'Capitalism: A Love Story.'" – Leslie Felperin Variety
"It's scathing, effective and hilarious." – Farah Nayeri Bloomberg News
"... the veteran tub-thumper has lost none of his power to whip up a response." – Xan Brooks Guardian
"I've got to tell you, on this particular issue, I'm with Michael Moore." – Jim Pinkerton, White House staff under both Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, senior adviser to Mike Huckabee's 2008 presidential campaign FOX News
"Michael Moore's latest documentary is both moving and blackly comical, and his best since Roger and Me." – Donald Clark The Irish Times
"... punchy, enthralling and entertaining ..." – Peter Bradshaw Guardian
"The result is a film that stands as one of Moore's finest arguments. It's also one of his funniest ..." – Peter Howell Toronto Star

An AFAR-style "Mix" of sand & water from around the world.
Black Sands Beach 2: The Lost Coast
This is another view of Black Sands Beach, which probably should be named "Black Rocks Beach."
For the next 24 miles from Black Sands Beach, the Lost Coast Trail is primarily on the beach. The crunch of the black stones while walking was quite loud. But we were quite lucky. The Lost Coast has very few people, and is the most isolated stretch of coastline in the entire West Coast of the United States. And what person doesn't enjoy walking along miles of isolated beaches?
I took this photo before around sunrise using a 30 second exposure to get the misty look in the waves. You can see a bank of fog way out in the horizon.
How did you capture this one? Beautiful!
I carried a tripod out there, jammed it hard into the round wet rocks, used a shutter release, and kept the shutter open for 30 seconds to get that ethereal feel with the waves. The difficult part for me was keeping all the water and crud off the lens. I had a lot of problems with that and droplets on this particular shoot, something I really need to improve. I kept a bag over the camera and lens until it was time to shoot, but it still didn't work all that well.

"Chapter 22: Obedience," Gospel Fundamentals, 125
Our Father in Heaven has told us the things that we must do in order to be happy and to return to live with Him. How can we learn to do these things?
Our Father in Heaven Gives Us Laws Because He Loves Us
Our Father in Heaven wants us to be happy here on earth because He loves us. He also wants us to return to Him so we can have the joy that He has. We can do this only if we use the ability that He has given us to become like Him.
Our Father in Heaven knows what we must do to become like Him. He has given us commandments that tell us what is good for us to do. He also tells us what is not good for us to do.
Every commandment that our Father in Heaven has given is for our good and will help us. These commandments can be guides to us in our lives, and if we obey them we will be happy.
All of us have broken commandments of our Father in Heaven. Because we have broken the commandments of our Father in Heaven, we have sinned. Because we have sinned, we are separated from our Father in Heaven. The just punishment for our sins is for us to be separated from our Father in Heaven forever.
But our Father in Heaven loves us. He has made a way to pay the penalty for our sins. He sent His Son, Jesus, to pay the penalty for our sins. Jesus has paid that penalty, and we can return to our Father in Heaven by having faith in Jesus. To have faith in Jesus means to trust Him and become His obedient followers. Those who have faith in Jesus obey His commandments. The first step toward returning to our Father in Heaven is to have faith in Jesus, trying sincerely to obey Him. Then, if we continue to be faithful to Jesus, He will help us to be obedient to all of our Father in Heaven's commandments, and our Father in Heaven will forgive our sins.
Some of Jesus' commandments are for all members of the Church. These He gives in the scriptures and through His prophets. Some commandments He gives to us individually, through the Holy Ghost. For example, the scriptures and the prophets tell us that all Church members should help teach the gospel to others. But the Holy Ghost will tell each of us what we can do individually to teach the gospel to our family members, friends, and neighbors. If we study the scriptures, listen to the words of the prophets, and follow the whisperings of the Holy Ghost, we will always know the things we should do.
• How do our Father in Heaven's and Jesus' commandments show Their love for us?
• How can we know what our Father in Heaven and Jesus have told us to do?
Every Commandment of Our Father in Heaven Is Important
We should be willing to do everything that Jesus commands us to do. All His commandments are important and help prepare us to live with our Father in Heaven. The Bible tells a story about a man named Naaman. He was very sick and wanted a prophet named Elisha to heal him. He left his home and went to the country where Elisha lived. Elisha sent a messenger to tell Naaman to wash himself seven times in a river called Jordan, and he would be healed.
Naaman was angry when he was told to do this. He wondered why he should go to the Jordan River, since there were many great rivers where he lived. But even though he was angry, Naaman later decided to obey. Because he obeyed, he was healed. If he had not obeyed, he would not have been healed.
Some people think Jesus' commandments are too difficult to obey. Once there was a young man named Nephi, who, with his brothers, was asked to do something very difficult. Jesus told them to return to the city of Jerusalem to get some important scriptures. His brothers said they could not do it. It was too difficult. But Nephi said he would do as Jesus had told him to do. He said that when Jesus tells us to do something, no matter how hard it may seem to us, He helps us do it.
Jesus has told us we should work to become like Him and our Father in Heaven. He would not have told us to do this unless He knew we could do it.
Jesus is like our Father in Heaven because He committed no sins. We have all sinned, but we can become like our Father in Heaven through faith in Jesus and repentance.
Sometimes we may not understand the reason for one of Jesus' commandments. But if we love Jesus and trust Him, we will do what He tells us to do. We will obey even if we do not understand why He has told us to do something. Adam and Eve did this. Jesus told Adam and Eve to offer sacrifices* to our Father in Heaven. One day an angel came to Adam and asked him why he was offering sacrifices. Adam said he did not know why, except that Jesus had told him to do it. The angel then told Adam the reason for the law and taught Adam the gospel. Jesus was pleased with Adam because Adam obeyed Him even before knowing the reason for the law.
We should obey Jesus' commandments because we love Him and want to obey Him. Our Father in Heaven has said He is pleased with those who want to obey Jesus. He is sad when His children do not obey Jesus until something happens that forces them to obey. Our Father in Heaven wants all of His children to learn to love Jesus and to obey Him, because this is the only way they can return to our Father in Heaven.
• Why is it important to obey Jesus' commandments even when they seem too difficult to obey?
• Why should we obey the commandments even if we do not understand them?
• Why is it important to obey because we want to obey?
When We Love Our Father in Heaven, We Want to Obey Jesus
Jesus did everything our Father in Heaven commanded Him to do. Jesus obeyed our Father in Heaven because He loved our Father in Heaven. Satan tempted Jesus to disobey our Father in Heaven. Jesus did not do the things Satan tempted Him to do.
The First and Most Important Commandment Is to Love Our Father in Heaven
When we love our Father in Heaven, we will want to obey Him as Jesus did. We can love our Father in Heaven more when we learn more about Him. We need to learn about Him and what He does for us. We learn this by reading the scriptures and listening to the leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ. When we love our Father in Heaven, we will also love Jesus because of what Jesus did to help us return to our Father in Heaven. We learn to love Jesus by doing the things He commands us to do. As our love for our Father in Heaven and Jesus becomes greater, obeying Their commandments becomes easier.
The Second Great Commandment Is to Love All People
Jesus told us to love and help other people. He has told us to treat them the same way we want them to treat us. He said we should not say bad things about them. We should forgive them for their mistakes. We should help others in every way we can.
When we love our Father in Heaven and Jesus, we love and help others. As we love and serve Jesus and other people, obeying all of our Father in Heaven's and Jesus' commandments becomes easier.
• What are the two great commandments?
• How can Jesus' example help us to obey the commandments of our Father in Heaven?
• How can we learn to love our Father in Heaven and Jesus and want to obey Their commandments?
Every Blessing We Receive Comes Because of Obedience
Our Father in Heaven blesses us when we obey His commandments. He promises a blessing for each commandment that we obey. Whenever we obey a commandment, we receive a blessing for obeying it. If we do not obey a commandment, we cannot expect to receive the promised blessing.
Some of the blessings that come from obeying the commandments of our Father in Heaven are happiness, freedom from fear, good health, and more knowledge and ability. The greatest blessing that our Father in Heaven promises to us is that we can become like Him and live forever with Him. We can receive this blessing by obeying all of His commandments.
As we earnestly try to obey our Father in Heaven's commandments, it is important to remember that we can do it only with the help of Jesus. We should also remember that when we disobey, our Father in Heaven will forgive us when we place our faith in Jesus Christ and repent. Since we all have sinned, we should be very grateful for the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Because of His Atonement, our Father in Heaven can forgive and bless us and help us become obedient. We would never be worthy of our Father in Heaven's blessings by ourselves.
• What blessings can come to you because of obedience to our Father in Heaven?
• How does Jesus help us obtain these blessings?
• How can we receive our Father in Heaven's greatest gift?

• John 15:10–14 (If we obey our Father in Heaven's commandments, we will continue to know He loves us.)
Every Commandment of Our Father in Heaven Is Important

• 1 Nephi 3:1–7 (Jesus provides a way for us to obey His commandments.)
• 3 Nephi 12:48 (Jesus told us to become perfect.)
When We Love Our Father in Heaven, We Want to Obey Jesus

• John 8:29 (Jesus always did those things that pleased His Father.)
• John 14:15, 21–24 (If we love our Father in Heaven and Jesus, we will obey Their commandments.)
• 1 Corinthians 2:9 (Our Father in Heaven has prepared great blessings for those who love Him.)

• 2 Nephi 2:3–9; Alma 22:14; Moroni 6:4 (We cannot be worthy of our Father in Heaven's blessings by ourselves, but the Savior helps us.)
• Mosiah 2:24 (Our Father in Heaven blesses us when we obey Him.)
• Mosiah 2:41 (Those who obey the commandments receive many blessings and are happy.)
Jesus showed obedience to His Father by being baptized.

Philosophy is an activity of inquiry as well as a body of knowledge. It is the sense of wonder with which even our everyday experiences are approached. Etymologically the word philosophy means "love of wisdom" in Greek, and the concern of wisdom with lived experience and with leading a good life remain central to the philosophical enterprise. The starting point for the philosophical project is human reason confronting the world of personal and interpersonal experience. The end is understanding reality and making good decisions promoting human and worldly well being.
Philosophers critically examine basic assumptions in any area of study or life, then try to draw conclusions based on sound reasoning. The Philosophy Department serves the broader mission of the College by offering courses designed to help the student develop the ability to think clearly and critically and to make decisions on valid interpretations of reality and defensible values.
Philosophy Minor
Minor: PHL 1105, 2214 and 12 additional credits approved by the department.
The College does not offer a major in philosophy, but for students interested in intense philosophical study beyond the minor and/or in preparation for graduate study in philosophy, law, business, etc., it is possible to do a Humanities Major with philosophy as the primary disciplinary component. For more information, visit the Humanities Major website.

User Review for Mountain Boy Sledworks Butterfly Wagon
We got our Butterfly Wagon in early April, and my 3 and 5 year olds refuse to go anywhere without it. The seat backs are tilted, so they are actually comfy for the kids. The wagon is solid and well-built, and took about 10 minutes to assemble. Everywhere we go it turns heads -- who has ever seen a wagon this beautiful?
User Review for Melissa & Doug Folding Medieval Castle
Although this is an extremely early Christmas list buy, i am so happy the way it looks. It is very sturdy. The only assembly is to set the tall tower part into the nested spot, or it can be used as a separate guard shack and the string for the draw bridge you will have to tie off yourself, which is easy as pie. It comes shrink wrapped and is well packaged. i think i am more happy then he will be. My son is 8 and this will more than outlast his imagination. :)
User Review for Step2 Naturally Playful Lookout Treehouse
Really well made! It assembles in minutes (except for the periscope but we left that off till our daughter was closer to 2.) We got it when she was 15 months and it is still going string and is fun for 3+ yr olds. Great indoor exercise toy. Step 2 is usually made in the USA but you should double check if that is a criterion.
User Review for Melissa & Doug Abby & Emma Magnetic Dress-Up Set
This is the perfect present for my 5 year old granddaughter to play with along with her 7 year old sister! One is blond and the other brunette just like the dolls.
User Review for Step2 Art Master Activity Desk
I ordered this desk after researching all the options and this turned out to be exactly what we needed to contain all our messy art materials. My almost 4 year old LOVES to paint, and I want to encourage it, but I'm also a stickler for neatness. He is proud to have his own desk, and has no problem understanding that this is where the painting happens. It is also very easy to put together (I did it myself...holes are predrilled) and clean up.
Outdoor Toys
Outdoor toys are fun and family friendly but they provide a chance for the family to bond while enjoying some great weather and some exercise.
Play Tents N Tunnels are quickly becoming one of the more popular outdoor toys. The tents are great for camping in the backyard. They are a fantastic idea for the indoor as well. A child tent can become your child's own private place to hide and play and are often cozy enough to fit up to four children inside. Play tunnels are also fun and exciting for children.

2013 Redistricting Committee Meeting Information
At the School Board meeting on December 13, 2012, the School Board approved Option 3 for the redistricting plan. Option 3 was developed at the School Board work session earlier in the day from the Option 1(Adjusted) and Option 2 plans. At the work session, staff were directed to develop the Option 3 map utilizing the northern portion of Option 2 and the southern portion of Option 1 (Adjusted) with Broad Street at the divider. Option 3 Map (Approved Plan) |
A new west area elementary school will open in Henrico County in the fall of 2013 at 5680 Pouncey Tract Road. From September – December 2012, a community-led redistricting process will be initiated to meet three planning goals:
Twelve elementary school communities are involved in the study, including:
Any change to school boundaries will take effect beginning in fall 2013. To engage community members in the process, a community-based redistricting committee will be established with two volunteer representatives from each of the study schools. The committee and staff will work collaboratively to develop scenarios and proposals to be considered by the broader community and the School Board. A public hearing will be scheduled prior to approval of the boundary changes. Throughout the process, information will be provided through School Messenger, mailings/backpack fliers, HCPS-TV, and the HCPS website. Community members will also be invited to observe the redistricting committee work sessions. Questions about the redistricting process may be directed to email@example.com or 804-652-3830. |

You're not alone--nearly half of all Americans are plagued with occasional insomnia, and about 15 percent have chronic sleepless nights. Try these tips to improve the quality of sleep, and the quality of your life.
If you're not sleeping well at night you may be at risk for health problems ahead. New research published in The Lancet, the world's leading medical journal, says that if you have problems sleeping, you are at risk for health problems like diabetes heart failure, anxiety and depression.
You may not realize that if you have insomnia you are five times more likely to have anxiety and depression and at double the risk for congestive heart failure and diabetes. Simply put, if you're having sleep problems at night, those sleepless nights can result in numerous health problems. Difficulty sleeping can lead to daytime problems too, like mood disorders, irritability and a constant feeling of exhaustion. As people grow older, many experience age-related changes such as decreased quality of sleep. Some people find they have difficulty sleeping, as each day is crowded with anxiety and stress.
Did you know sleep is crucial to brain health and memory? New research from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has determined that sound quality sleep, can improve cognition (which includes decision decision-making skills, focus, concentration and memory).
Did you know that poor quality sleep can also affect your immune system? During sleep, the body produces important proteins called cytokines. These proteins are essential to the effectiveness of the immune system in fighting off infection and other adverse effects on the body. It's also true that people who have chronic sleep problems have a weaker defense system against pathogens that cause illness like the common cold.
What can you do to improve your sleep? Plenty. You can tip the scales on the side of better sleep with these easy, no-nonsense, better sleep ideas.
Six Steps to Better Sleep
Upgrade your mattress. Your mattress may be triggering allergies that are playing havoc with your sleep. If your mattress is more than 7 years old, it may be time to replace it. Bed bugs hiding deep in mattresses are common sources of asthma and allergies. Cool down. Turn the thermostat down to the mid-60s when you go to bed. Studies have shown that a cool bedroom helps induce sleep.
Wear socks
Now that your bedroom is cooler, put on a pair of socks. The American Journal of Physiology suggests wearing socks to bed to achieve better sleep. Your feet are often colder than the rest of the body so wearing socks helps blood vessels in your feet stay dilated resulting in better sleep. Regulate your eating routine.
Don't eat a big meal right before bedtime, and don't skip dinner so you go to bed hungry. Scratch the screen time. Calm the brain before going to bed. Avoid reading, writing and checking email on your electronic devices before bedtime, and don't watch TV right before you close your eyes. Exercise regularly. If you exercise regularly, at least four times a week, research has shown you may be able to add an hour or more to your usual nights sleep.
When you take these steps to improve your sleep, you're moving in the right direction toward a healthier life.

The family, whose identity isn't revealed in the damage lawsuit, discovered the brain after smelling a "foul odor" a day after a New Mexico funeral home gave it to them in a bag containing the personal effects of a woman killed in a 2009 automobile accident in Utah. The brain was in a separate plastic bag labeled with the word "brain."
The court ruled Wednesday that Serenicare Funeral Home in Draper, Utah didn't have enough contact with New Mexico for it to be sued in this state. The family has filed a separate lawsuit in Utah.

Advanced Green Multi
Advanced Green Multi Vitamin-Mineral Formula is a total wellness, super multi-nutrient formula, containing a full spectrum of protective Phytonutrients, Carotenoids, Flavonoids, and Phytosterols, Multi-Vitamins, Minerals, Digestive Enzymes, Antioxidants, Bioflavonoids, and healing Herbs - all in one formula.
Phyto-Nutrients are active plant constituents from fruit, green foods, soy, grains, cruciferous vegetables and herbs. Naturally energized from rays of the sun, Phyto-nutrients provide maximum protection against free radicals while building a strong immune system. They also appear to lower the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease. (Drewnowski A., Gomes- Carneros C. Bitter taste, phytonutrients, and the consumer: a review Am J Clin Nutr: 72(6): 1424-35, Dec 2000).
Research indicates that most people, 80% of children and adolescents and 68% of adults, do not eat the recommended five portions of fruits and vegetables a day. (Ames B.N. Micronutrient Deficiencies: A Major Cause of DNA Damage. Ann Ny Acad Sci; 889:87-106, 1999). Of even greater concern is the fact that many of the foods we consume and the water we drink endangers rather than promotes our health and well-being. Nutrient stripped soil; toxic pesticides and chemicals; nutrient losses from food processing, heating and freezing; inconsistent and varying bioavailability of nutrients in food; loss of nutrients due to food storage; air pollution; and genetically altered food endanger the health of every human being on this planet. These facts compel us to look beyond our diet to obtain sufficient supplies of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and phyto -nutrients. The Advanced Green Multi Vitamin-Mineral Formula provides necessary ingredients for overall mental and physical well-being.
Vitamin A (Beta Carotene) is necessary for repair and growth of body tissues. It is used in the treatment of vision problems, breast cancer, and skin wrinkling. (Ross A.C., Ternus M.E., Vitamin A as a hormone: recent advances in understanding the actions of retinol, retinoic acid, and beta carotene. J Am Diet Assoc; 93(11): 1285-90, Nov 1993).
Vitamin B-1 (Thiamin) benefits the heart and cardiovascular system. It is also important for growth, energy production and digestion. In a randomised double-blind, placebo-controlled trial utilizing 222 people aged 65 or over, researchers concluded that the quality of life was enhanced by providing thiamin supplements. Blood pressure and weight were lower after thiamin supplementation. (Wilkinson TJ; Hanger HC; Elmslie J; George PM; Sainsbury R. The response to treatment of sub clinical thiamine deficiency in the elderly. Am J Clin Nutr; 66(4): 925-8, Oct 1997).
Vitamin B-2 (Riboflavin) is important for healthy skin, tissue repair and red blood cell formation.
Niacinimide (Vitamin B-3) improves circulation and reduces cholesterol levels in the blood.
Pantothenic Acid helps convert proteins, fats, and carbohydrates into energy, improves the body's resistance to stress.
Vitamin B-6 (Pyridoxine) promotes healthy gums, teeth, red blood cells, and is necessary for synthesis of amino acids.
PABA (Para Amino Benzoic Acid) plays a key role in skin pigmentation and hair colour.
Vitamin B-12 (Cobalamin) helps prevent anaemia by aiding in formation of red blood cells.
Folic Acid is important for red cell production, tissue cells, and a healthy intestinal tract.
Biotin (Vitamin H) promotes healthy hair and skin. It plays a critical role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. (Mock, D.M. Biotin. In: Present Knowledge in Nutrition (Ziegler, E.E. and Filer, L. J., eds.), 7th ed., pp. 220-235. International Life Sciences Institute Press, Washington, DC, 1996).
Choline is an essential nutrient needed for cell membrane integrity. It plays a significant role in controlling fat and cholesterol. It is also a component of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and is needed for normal brain functioning.
Inositol is required for proper formation of cell membranes. It affects nerve transmission and helps in transporting fats within the body.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) helps build resistance to infections, aids in the prevention of the common cold, prevents scurvy, and is critical to the maintenance of healthy gums, skin, and blood. It is a major antioxidant, and plays a significant role in cardiovascular disease (CVD). According Matthias Rath M.D. and Linus Pauling Ph.D: "…ascorbate deficiency is the common cause of human CVD, ascorbate supplementation is the universal treatment for this disease. The available epidemiological and clinical evidence is reasonably convincing. Further clinical confirmation of this theory should lead to the abolition of CVD as a cause of human mortality for the present generation and future generations of mankind." (The Linus Pauling/Matthias Rath Unified Theory of Human Cardiovascular Disease On-line paper published in the J. of Orthomolecular Medicine; http://www.orthomed.org/links/papers/rathpau.htm).
Vitamin D benefits teeth, bones, and optimizes calcium and phosphorous metabolism.
Vitamin E is a major antioxidant and delays cellular aging due to oxidation. It protects cell membranes and tissues, and brings nourishment to cells. (Meydani, S. N., Meydani, M., Blumberg, J. B., Leka, L. S., Siber, G., Loszewski, R., Thompson, C., Pedrosa, M. C., Diamond, R. D., Stollar, B. D. Vitamin E supplementation enhances in vivo immune response in healthy elderly: A dose-response study. JAMA. 277: 1380-1386, 1997)
Calcium promotes bone and teeth health, and assists in the passage of nutrients in and out of cell walls. Please see Bone Strengthener Plus for additional information. Calcium and Vitamin D supplementation in the elderly helps reduce the incidence of fractures. (Dawson-Hughes, B., Harris, S.S., Krall, E. A. & Dallal, G. E. Effect of calcium and vitamin D supplementation on bone density in men and women age 65 and older. New Engl. J. Med. 337: 670-676, 1997).
Chromium is important for carbohydrate metabolism. It works with insulin in the metabolism and stabilization of blood sugar levels. (Stoecker, B. J., Chromium. In: Present Knowledge in Nutrition (Ziegler, E. E. & Filer, L. J., Jr., eds.), 7th ed., pp. 344-352. International Life Sciences Institute Press, Washington, DC., 1996).
Copper is necessary for the absorption and utilization of iron. Copper deficiency may also play a role in heart disease. (Medeiros, D. M. & Wildman, R., New findings on a unified perspective of copper restriction and cardiomyopathy. Proc. Soc. Exp. Biol. Med. 215: 299-313, 1997).
Iodine aids in the functioning of the thyroid gland. "Comparative epidemiologic studies in areas with low and high iodine intake and controlled studies of iodine supplementation have demonstrated that the major consequence of mild-to-moderate iodine deficiency for the health of the population is an extraordinarily high occurrence of hyperthyroidism in elderly subjects, especially women, with risk of cardiac arrhythmias, osteoporosis, and muscle wasting." (Laurberg P., Nohr S.B., Pedersen K.M., Hreidarsson A.B., Andersen S., Bulow Pedersen I., Knudsen N., Perrild H., Jorgensen T., and Ovesen L. Thyroid disorders in mild iodine deficiency. Department of Endocrinology and Medicine, Aalborg Hospital, Denmark. Thyroid; 10(11): 951-63, Nov 2000).
Iron combines with protein and copper in manufacturing hemoglobin which transports oxygen in the blood from the lungs to the tissues. Iron deficiency results in anemia. A recent study indicates that the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia is higher in athletic populations and groups, especially in younger female athletes, than in healthy sedentary individuals. The young female athlete may want to consider use of low-dose iron supplements to prevent a decline in iron status during training. (Beard J., Tobin B. Iron status and exercise. Am J Clin Nutr. 72(2 Suppl): 594S-7S,Aug 2000).
Magnesium is a mineral needed by every cell of the body. Magnesium is needed for at least 300 fundamental enzymatic reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, and bones strong. It is also involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis. Evidence suggests that magnesium may play an important role in regulating blood pressure. (Paolisso, G. and Barbagallo, M. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and insulin resistance: the role of intracellular magnesium. Amer. J. Hyperten. 10: 346-355, 1997).
Diets that provide plenty of fruits and vegetables, good sources of potassium and magnesium, are consistently associated with lower blood pressure. Results of two national surveys, the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III-1988-91) and the Continuing Survey of Food Intakes of Individuals (1994 CSFII), indicated that the diets of most adult men and women do not provide the recommended amounts of magnesium.
Manganese is an essential trace mineral that is concentrated primarily in the bone, liver, pancreas, and brain. It is necessary for proper digestion, sex hormone production, and is a catalyst in the breakdown of fats and cholesterol. It is also an important antioxidant. An animal study conducted at the University of Maine found that manganese deficiency may affect arterial wall integrity and subsequently cardiovascular health. (Yang P., and Klimis-Tavantzis D.J. Effects of dietary manganese on arterial glycosaminoglycan metabolism in Sprague-Dawley rats. Biol Trace Elem Res; 64(1-3): 275-88, Summer 1998).
Potassium is mostly found in muscle tissue. Deficiency symptoms include irregular heartbeat, muscular weakness, and build -up of lactic acid. Research also indicates that there may be a relationship between high blood pressure and potassium depletion. A study conducted at the University of Arkansas school for medical science concluded that; "An increase in potassium intake should be included in the nonpharmacologic management of patients with uncomplicated hypertension." (Barri Y.M. and Wingo C.S. The effects of potassium depletion and supplementation on blood pressure: a clinical review. Am J Med Sci; 314(1): 37-40, Jul 1997).
Selenium is a major antioxidant and prevents free radical generation, thus decreasing the risk of cancer. (Combs, G. F., Jr. & Gray, W. P. Chemopreventive agents: selenium. Pharmacol. Expt. Therapeut. 79: 179-192, 1998). Other studies indicate that selenium deficiency may result in heart disease, premature aging, dandruff, and loose skin.
Zinc is an antioxidant nutrient necessary for protein synthesis, wound healing, male hormone production, and reproductive organ health. A recent study at Michigan State University concluded that there is substantial evidence that zinc supplementation may reduce the impact of many diseases, including; sickle cell anemia, renal disease, and chronic gastrointestinal disorders.(Fraker P.J., King L.E., Laakko T., Vollmer T.L. The dynamic link between the integrity of the immune system and zinc status, J Nutr; 130(5S Suppl): 1399S-406S, May 2000).
RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) and DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) are the genetic materials that serve as the blueprints for the formation of new cells.
Bioflavonoids are a class of water-soluble plant pigments. They are divided into the following subcategories: isoflavones, anthocyanins, flavans, favonols, flavones, and flavanones. Some bioflavonoids support health as anti-inflammatory, antihistaminic, and antiviral agents.
Quercetin is bioflavonoid and has been reported to aid in problems associated with diabetes.
Rutin is another bioflavonoid that appears to protect blood vessels.

Hair dyes and safety
Q: Do you think hair dyes are safe? I have dark brown hair and have colored it for many years. Should I consider using more natural coloring agents or going grey? ..Curiously Colored
A: The fast answer to the question is that it's not as dangerous as it used to be, but there are still way too many chemicals in it to use regularly.
A few years ago I was at a seminar with Peter Lamas, well known celebrity hairdresser to the stars. He is quoted "…….And then there was Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, a client for whom I did hair and frequently applied hair dye. Ms. Kennedy died too young from Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma cancer. Her doctors have stated publicly they believe her hair dye probably contributed to causing her cancer. "
According to Martha Stewart, seven out of every ten women use coloring products. Current research says that the darker the hair dye the worse it is for you, due to the amount of tars and ammonia in the dye. The permanent dye is worse than the semi- permanent. The top of your head is very vulnerable to toxins and if the product touches your skin the toxins will be absorbed into your body.
So the alternatives would be to give it up all together, to lighten your color, put in streaks rather than a whole color, go blonde or choose a product that doesn't have the chemicals in it.
There are some excellent hair technicians out there, so if you go to a salon, talk with your colorist. They do it all day long and should be able to minimize the risk. There are salons that advertise non toxic products so check out their internet pages.
Due to consumer demand, many of the major hair dye companies now offer products that have less toxic, or non-toxic ingredients. Natural food stores such as Whole Foods and The Natural Market have a selection of products to choose from.
If you are a DIYer, then be sure to use caution while dying your hair, wear gloves, don't overdo the time and check for expiration dates on the box. If the color turns black as soon as you put it on, it's bad. Don't breathe in the fumes and use a well ventilated room.
As a final note, there is no federal regulation on hair dye. A recent study showed that 400 out of 456 products tested for toxic chemicals ranked as high hazard, which means they contain toxic ingredients linked to cancer, developmental and reproductive issues, neurotoxicity, organ toxicity, allergies of the eyes, skin or lungs.
Whether you have obvious symptoms or irritation or not, it's a good idea to find out what's being put into your body when you are being beautified.

By Andrea Plaid
Like I mentioned at the Facing Race roundtable yesterday, the "No Justice, No Peas" panel left a deep impression on me because it addresses what otherwise great food-movement documentaries like Food, Inc. and Forks Over Knives sometimes touch on but tend to erase entirely: the food workers of color who do the incredible work of bringing the food–both organic and non-organic–to USians' palettes and gullets and how deeply economic exploitation and racial injustice not only affects their lives but the lives of their families and neighborhoods. (The Storified version of the panel is here.)
Pretty prescient and very relevant, considering the current fast-food workers strikes.
I just had to vibe with the panel's brilliant and passionate facilitator, Yvonne Yen Liu, who's the outgoing Senior Research Associate at the Applied Research Center (the people who bring you the Facing Race conference and Colorlines) and the incoming Director of the Global Movements at WhyHunger. We chatted about not only how she found her way to food justice but also how that issue intertwines with race, racism, sexism, and labor justice, and how one journalist cluelessly said that the food movement isn't a social justice issue.
I know. I know. Read on…
Food justice is your passion. How and why did you gravitate to that?
I see food as a portal to addressing a host of social ills. I am pretty transparent about the fact that I don't have food politics per se—obviously, I like to eat, and I think that everyone should have access to healthy and affordable food—but, I see the growing interest in local food systems, organic food, slow food, etc. as an opportunity to bring people into the fold of racial justice. Because we all need to eat, food is something that universally touches all of us, we all enter the food chain at one point or another, whether as a consumer, a worker, or grower. How can we shift people from a particular position to recognize that we're all interlinked, whether we be a small family farmer, a restaurant worker, or an artisanal goat cheese maker.
The food justice movement itself is rather young, but we are informed by other struggles, as I wrote in the Good Food and Good Jobs for All[1] report published by the Applied Research Center this past summer. The food movement has its roots in the back-to-land movement in the 1960s, the environmental justice turn with the People of Color Summit in the 1990s, and even the self-described "survival pending revolution" breakfast programs by the Black Panthers. How can we, the nascent food movement, learn lessons from other struggles, work in conjunction within multiracial coalitions, to build power?
My entry point to food is through labor. Three years ago, I was working on green jobs for the Applied Research Center. We focused on the need for racial equity in crafting green jobs and a renewable energy economy, one that is inclusive and emboldens communities of color. One of the case studies we pursued was of the central coast of California, in partnership with a farmworker women organization Lideres Campesinas.[2] Many groups focused on the urban manifestation of the green economy, but what about rural communities? And, what about agriculture and food production, the first green job, to some extent?
The initial conversations that we had with the leaders at Lideres Campesinas led to a three-year trust building process, which other partners such as the Data Center and the Center for Race, Poverty, and Environment later joined, to craft a participant action research project for campesinas to define a green economy for themselves and their families. I reached out to other farmworker organizations, which led me to connect with a new national network representing workers across the food chain, the Food Chain Workers Alliance.
The network was still in the process of mapping out the landscape of who food chain workers were. We supported them in those efforts with our research, later published in The Color of Food[3], which outlined the composition of the food workforce by race, class, and gender. We found shocking disparities in wages; for example, for every dollar that a white man earns in the food system, a Black woman makes almost half of that, 53 cents. Latinas make 50 cents.
[This trailer is directed by Sekou Luke for "No Justice, No Peas" co-panelist Saru Jayaraman's about-to-drop book, Behind the Kitchen Door: What Every Person Should Know About The People Who Feed Us. (More info on the vid and book is here.) I can't hype both of them enough.--AP]
And it's apparent that you brought that passion to the panel on the intersecting issues of food justice, racial justice, and labor justice. As discussed at the panel, the public conversations about food justice wraps around the idea about the products themselves, e.g. access to organic food, food "deserts," and obesity. Less so is the conversation about the people who are processing the organic—and non-organic—food, from the garden and farms to the restaurants and homes. Why is that disconnect still there?
Unfortunately, labor is often ignored in the public discourse. It's no different in the food movement. I interviewed a well-known food journalist for the Good Food and Good Jobs for All report, who told me, "I don't know if it's smart politics for the food movement to take a social justice role. We need to have positions, but if we devolve, we'll lose our specificity and attraction for people who can deal with food, but not economic systems."
Now, that's just sad. To me, it seems self-evident that in order to eat and to eat well, you need a good job that pays living wages. Food and labor are interconnected. But, unfortunately, the majority of good food advocates are wary of collaborating with the labor movement for fear of diluting their mission. Similarly, proponents for good jobs typically focus solely on serving the interests of workers and are generally uninterested in tackling the structural problems in industrial agriculture and the production of food.
Who gets hurt, because of this disconnect? Low-income people and people of color suffer disproportionately from food inequities, as I outlined in Good Food and Good jobs for All, such as obesity, hunger, and earning below minimum wage as a food worker. Therefore, a divide between the struggle for good food and good jobs is an issue of racial and economic justice, because it sharpens socioeconomic disparities for communities of color. Being separated in issue silos also serves the interests of the food and agricultural corporations operated by a minority of white men who dominate both domestic and global markets, thus creating the conditions for these disparities across the world.
As I mentioned in the "Energy Democracy For All" panel, I believe the disconnect rests with the image problem that the green movement still has, namely that the images of the green movement is still white. So, even with the great policies like solar-energy redistribution to benefit communities of color and even incredibly out-front activists like Van Jones, Majora Carter, and you, the message of "going green is for everyone" seems like it still isn't taking a hold to the point of popular, sustained action. Or is it that communities of color are "going green" in a way that isn't recognized in the majority of green movements?
Yes, it's an image problem and I think it's important for communities of color to see themselves reflected in public images associated with sustainability, be it green energy or urban agriculture. But, beyond representation, we need genuine engagement and leadership of people of color in these movements. Which is part of the work being done in Oakland with community-owned solar projects[4] and in the Navajo Nation.[5]

This week, Johnny Cash would have been 81 years old. Tuesday, to be exact, would have been his birthday. I have been listening to his music this week and watching video of his life. I thought I needed to take a moment to share with you a small reminder of his existence. Peace.
A 23 years old Johnny Cash performing "I Walk the Line" live on
The Tex Ritter Show.
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line
Johnny was at the core of all things to come for, not just country music but, for all American Music. He was an individual, who would not be labeled, defined, or controlled by anything other than what was in his heart and his love for June. He always fought the brave fight. He lost as many as he won, but he never lost sight of the man he was. And to the very end, Johnny Cash defined what it means to be an icon,
both the benefits and the responsibilities.
"I Expect My Life To End ... Soon"
The last interview of Johnny Cash, on 20 August 2003, less than a month before his death on 12 September 2003.
John Carter Cash, the only child of Johnny and June Carter Cash, speaks candidly about his legendary fathers writing and recording of the music that would become his final album, American VI: Ain't No Grave. During these final recording sessions in May of 2003less than four months before he passedJohnny lost his wife June to surgical complications. According to producer Rick Rubin, Johnny said that recording was his main reason for being alive.
This documentary features music and interview footage of John Carter Cash talking about the recording of the songs that made up Johnny's final album. Also included are iconic film and images of Johnny around his writing cabin in Tennessee throughout his American Recordings career.
The Man in Black may no longer walk this Earthly realm, but through his music, Johnny Cash is very much alive and well and living among us.

At a Media Briefing to Foreign Journalists on Tuesday February 10 Minister of Disaster Management and Human Rights Mahinda Samarasinghe addressed the issue of Tamil civilians who had been trapped by the LTTE in the Vanni, and who were now attempting to escape. Two recent incidents confirmed the determination of the LTTE to prevent these civilians from getting away, even at the cost of their lives.
On Monday February 9th, a woman suicide bomber of LTTE had carried out an explosion at a refugee registration centre killing 10 civilians and 20 soldiers and injuring 64 in total. Among the victims were women and children. On the 10th, the LTTE attacked civilians fleeing its diminishing area with small arms and shelling, killing 19 civilians and injuring 75 others. Among those were killed 6 women and 2 children; the injured included 27 women and 11 children.
Despite this attack, nearly 1000 civilians escaped LTTE captivity and got to safe areas held by the security forces on this occasion.
Minister Samarasinghe told the international media that the LTTE deliberately targeted innocent Tamil civilians to trigger a fear psychosis among those trapped in the small area of the northern Mullaitivu District they yet hold. 'We are gratified to note that despite the attacks, the flow of civilians into government controlled areas continued.' he said.
The screening process would have to be strengthened after this suicide attack, since more such savage attacks had to be expected knowing the mindset of the LTTE. Whilst enhancing security for these civilians, government would continue to provide the humanitarian assistance they craved after months of being pushed into smaller and smaller spaces by the LTTE as it retreated.
The Minister reiterated the assurance given by President Mahinda Rajapaksa to all citizens of Sri Lanka on Independence Day that they would be looked after, enjoying the same rights as all others in the rest of the country, and calling on the LTTE to lay down arms and allow civilians to come to areas of safety. Minister said that, as of last morning, 32,000 civilians who were trapped in the LTTE areas had crossed over to safe areas of the government. Of these, 24,000 were accommodated in temporary shelters at Vavuniya, Kilinochchi and Jaffna and around 8,000 others were being screened by the Military to be handed over to the Government Agents.
Answering questions on how long the resettlement of the Tamil civilians would take place, Secretary to the President, Mr. Lalith Weeratunga, said all steps are being taken to resettle them with necessary facilities for a safe and good livelihood. Until final resettlement, they would be accommodated in places similar to traditional villages and not detention centres as some reports had suggested.
His Excellency the President had issued instructions that facilities for civilians should ensure their dignity, and for this purpose, the villages would provide facilities of a higher standard than the minimum that had been adhered to in previous centres. In addition to fundamental needs such as food and health facilities and shelter and sanitation and electricity, the government would also focus on social needs.
Schooling was a priority and also pre-school facilities, whilst provision had been made for vocational training so as to ensure that the displaced would be equipped with new skills for their return. The villages would also have banks and post offices with facilities for communication nationally and internationally. Police posts and community centres would also be established, with facilities for sports and recreation.
Whilst it was envisaged that resettlement in their original places of habitation would commence in a few months, government was conscious that demining would be less easy than in the East. Assistance had been sought for de-miming from international organizations, including those from India, and there had been a favourable response. Demining work had already begun in Mannar. UN certification of safety would be sought as in the East, but meanwhile infrastructural replacement and development had commenced in the areas that had been cleared, so that return would be accompanied by facilities for enhanced economic activity.
Mr. Weeratunga added that it was the intention of the Government to restore Democracy in the North as early as possible, beginning with Local Government elections and moving to Provincial Council Elections.
Minister Samarasinghe thanked the UN and other aid agencies and the ICRC for all the cooperation extended despite certain difficulties, and looked forward to continued cooperation in the larger interests of the affected civilian population.
The press briefing chaired by Hon. Minister Mahinda Samarasinghe also consisted of the Minister of Resettlement and Disaster Relief Services - Hon. Risath Bathiyutheen, Secretary to H.E. the President – Mr. Lalith Weeratunga, Secretary Foreign Affairs, Dr. Palitha Kohona, Secretary to Ministry of Disaster Management and Human Rights – Prof. Rajiva Wijesinha, Director General for the Media Centre for National Security – Mr. Lakshman Hulugalle, Director International Media and Policy Research of the Presidential Secretariat – Mr. Lucien Rajakarunanayake and Consultant to the North and East of the Ministry of Health and Nutrition - Dr. V. Jeganathan.

Sykas family will be missed
I was sorry to see that the Times Argus could only find a small spot to write about the sale of Yankee Spirits and Wines by Paul, Pat, and Amy Sykas to the Cameron family of Montpelier. The building that housed the liquor store and the one that NECI owns had been in the Sykas family for years.
Pat, Paul and their son, Steve have been a large part of Montpelier history for many years. Paul, his brothers and grandparents owned several businesses in the city for several years and touched many lives. They deserve more than a few sentences in your paper. They will be missed and my good wishes go to Scott Cameron and his son, Brent.
