Have you ever been so wrapped up in a task that the hours just seemed to fly away? According to a new study from Northern Illinois University, that might mean you have good working memory, a trait that can help you stay focused and get the job done.
And while it's not clear that you can improve the size of your working memory, you can at least take steps to succeed with the recall you have.

What's Your Capacity?
Working memory is like the RAM on your computer: It helps you remember phone numbers, words in a sentence, and other bits of information for a few seconds to process them, says Paul E. Schulz, M.D., a neurologist at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.
Some people are better at this than others. In the new study at Northern Illinois, researchers tested 99 students to see which had a high working memory capacity. They then had the volunteers do math problems until they thought two or four minutes had passed (no iPhones or stopwatches allowed).
People with better working memory were poor at judging the time, but whizzes at arithmetic. The results suggest people with low working memory get distracted but people with better memory "get lost in the primary task at hand," says study author Joseph Magliano, Ph.D., whose results were published in the journal Acta Psychologica.

Maximize Your Memory
Of course, there are upsides and downsides to ignoring the clock. It's good to stay focused long enough to finish something, but you usually need to keep an eye on the time to make sure you don't blow deadlines, Magliano says.
So what does this mean when you have a stack of expense reports and only a few hours to get through them? Researchers are divided on whether your working memory capacity is fixed or flexible. But they agree you can learn to manage your time, and your workload, with the brain you've got. (Want more brain-boosting tips? Read How to Remember Everything.)
1. Know Your Weaknesses. If you tend to get sidetracked, your working memory may be lacking. "Create distraction-free work or study environments (turn off cell phones and email reminders), discipline yourself to focus on the task at hand, and break large tasks into smaller ones and focus on one at a time," says Lynn M. Grattan, Ph.D., a neuropsychologist at the University of Maryland Medical Center.

2. Sound the Alarm. On the other hand, if your working memory lets you focus intensely over time, you'll need to try different time-management tactics. "Use external devices such as alarms or timers as reminders that other tasks need to be completed," Grattan recommends.
3. Become the Expert. Work hard to gain in-depth knowledge and skills in your field. "That expertise will reduce the amount of mental energy—or working memory resources—needed to do the task," Magliano says.
4. Train Your Brain Online. Just don't sink a lot of cash into it. Though some services like Lumosity are promising, research hasn't yet proven that these programs effectively boost working memory capacity, says Mark McDaniel, Ph.D, a memory researcher at Washington University in St. Louis. (But there's plenty of research on The Brain Biology Behind Video Games.) But if you think they're fun and they seem to sharpen your skills, they won't hurt. Other ways to work out your working memory include Sudoku, the New York Times daily crossword puzzle, or even just an engaging conversation with a smart friend, Schulz says.

Challenges in the Russian Energy Sector
Consolidate or Capitulate?
GIM 2007 - POSTED ON: 15 Mar 2010
RESEARCHERS: David Badler, Elizabeth Lippert, Elizabeth Seifert, Ryan Shockley, Mike Teplitsky, Jayson Traxler
Investors worldwide have their eyes on Russia, a global energy powerhouse. With 6 percent of the world's oil reserves and a whopping 27 percent of gas reserves, the country ranks number two globally in hydrocarbons.
Its oil and gas industry is in transition, however, and foreign investors keen to garner the benefits of Russia's huge energy wealth face considerable challenges and risks. This paper is a synopsis of research conducted as part of Kellogg's Global Initiatives in Management program into the opportunities in this market; including those in the oilfield services and equipment manufacturing segment (OFS), which holds the greatest promise, while prospects in the exploration and production (E&P) segment are constrained by the government's strategic interests. To succeed in either, investors must be adept at identifying and fulfilling the specific and often peculiar needs of Russia's energy sector.
A Strategic, Yet Diverse, Industry
The oil and gas sector's recent history and its definition as a strategic industry by the Russian government provide the backdrop for any opportunity analysis.
Russia's oil and gas segments are distinct. The sheer abundance of natural gas outstrips the more limited oil supply. In fact, oil production plunged almost 42 percent between 1990 and 1998, plagued by overproduction, lack of capital investment, inefficient development of fields, and shrinking demand. The gas segment, sustained by strong demand in Europe and cheap supply in Russia, suffered no such decline.
The oil industry underwent a period of decentralization in the 1990s, followed by reconsolidation in the early 2000s. In 2005 five firms accounted for 71 percent of Russia's oil output. In the gas segment, OAO Gazprom (Gazprom) remained strong throughout the period, and now accounts for more than 85 percent of the country's natural gas production.
The government has invested heavily in both oil and gas companies, and has influenced the sector in other ways as well. Foreign capital is limited to less than a 50 percent stake. Enforcement of contracts remains a salient risk. The unstable political environment means that government involvement may change through what is necessarily a front-loaded, long-term investment horizon.
Gazprom as Proxy
Gazprom, the world's largest natural gas company, embodies many of the traits of Russia's oil and gas industry and as such may be considered a proxy for the country's gas segment. The Russian government owns 50 percent of Gazprom, which is vertically integrated and active in both natural gas and oil. Gazprom supplies most of Russia's energy demand, and holds a monopoly over gas exports to Europe and the countries of the Former Soviet Union (FSU). It also has several noncore businesses such as media and financial services.
Overall, Russia's natural gas production increased at a mere 1 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 1999 and 2004. There are two main causes for this anemic performance: a lack of production incentives and weak execution. These two issues limit the country's (and Gazprom's) ability to expand production and, more ominously, to replace depleting natural gas reserves.
Gazprom has little reason to increase production: it has a virtual monopoly, its reserves are heavily concentrated in challenging Western Siberia, and there is an abundance of cheap gas in Turkmenistan that can be bought and re-exported to Europe at a very large profit. The company's control over most of the Central Asian gas pipeline guarantees its pricing power.
Execution issues reflect the role of government. Many of the top executives have political rather than business expertise, contributing to the inefficiency of Gazprom's organizational structure. For example, its noncore businesses are arguably undervalued within the diversified holding company structure.
Gazprom has been an active and increasingly successful consolidator, however, using acquisitions and partnerships to gain technological expertise. Its current strategy is to expand in midstream and downstream assets abroad and upstream domestically, including in power generation. It has the backing of the Russian government, which is focused on making Gazprom the world's largest energy company by capitalization.
The Shifting Gas Market
Gazprom's gas market is evolving, and the changes may ultimately help independent gas producers. The existing dual-price system, in which high prices in Europe provide Gazprom a tidy profit that offsets subsidized prices in the internal and FSU markets, has come under fire under the World Trade Organization (WTO) regime. Market forces are also changing the balance.
Gazprom faces growing competition in Europe, where natural gas from North Africa and the North Sea is gaining ground and liquefied natural gas (LNG) is an increasingly formidable force. This suggests that gas prices in Europe will decouple from oil prices in the next few years, and trend lower. On the other hand, the government is increasing prices within Russia gradually; by 2011, they will have tripled. Russia is also leaning heavily on FSU countries, which host Gazprom's pipelines to Europe, demanding higher prices. The upshot is likely to be a change in the mix of Gazprom's earnings, with the domestic market accounting for a larger portion of its revenues. Independent producers, limited to the domestic market, will also benefit from the higher internal prices.
Overall, Gazprom stands to gain the most. Independents will likely have to pay more to use the company's pipelines, and thus will net only 53 percent of the price increase, whereas Gazprom will reap the full benefit.
Does Government Presence Change the Balance?
The impact of heavy government participation can also be seen in the performance of other Russian energy companies. Lukoil is a privately held partnership in which ConocoPhillips holds a 20 percent stake. The company has thrived by maintaining a low political profile and has benefited from ConocoPhillips' technological and managerial expertise. Lukoil is increasingly turning its sights abroad, however, despite attractive opportunities for domestic growth. It is unclear if this is in support of its major foreign investor, or a reflection of Lukoil's uncertainty about competing long-term with the likes of government-controlled Rosneft.
Like Gazprom, Rosneft has benefited from the stability associated with government ownership. Analysts forecast that its production will expand at a blistering 12 percent CAGR, compared to Lukoil's 10 percent and the sector's 3 percent average. The government has supported Rosneft's consolidation efforts, and the company is likely to continue to receive tax breaks and access to new oil and gas licenses.
The Promise of Oilfield Services
Investors will likely find many more opportunities in Russia's OFS market, a segment still in its infancy and growing rapidly. The government's focus on oil and gas reserves as strategic assets will require greater financial and operational efficiency in the upstream segment. This, in turn, will lead to a major restructuring of the OFS market, creating attractive prospects for domestic and foreign investors.
While Russia's OFS market is still dominated by the in-house units of major domestic oil and gas companies, this is changing rapidly. A focus on capital efficiency has pushed companies to commit capital to exploration rather than to the routine maintenance of oilfield service assets. At the same time, they must invest in well-servicing and workovers in order to maintain production levels in mature provinces such as Western Siberia. This demand for operational efficiency adds to the thrust toward a competitive services market that reduces risks and costs. Exploratory drilling in Eastern Siberia will require increased technical complexity and high well costs, leading to the need for Western expertise and most likely Western capital.
The divestment of internal service divisions by the Russian oil and gas producers, which began in 2003 and is expected to last well past 2010, is beneficial to the industry on multiple dimensions: the activity generates cash for exploration and improves efficiency by creating independent OFS businesses that serve multiple clients; these independent operators, which can gain scale through consolidation, will be keen to develop technologically, upgrading and replacing old equipment.
Key Success Factors
To become successful players in this dynamic market, companies must have not only up-to-date technology and management expertise, but also access to capital and local content or relationships.
There are three main sources of capital for OFS companies. Large Russian companies, such as consolidator Integra, have access to the rich western equity capital markets. Leading western firms, such as Schlumberger, are already in Russia through partnerships, and are interested in expanding their presence. And as the market evolves, private capital, both western and Russian, will likely be more willing to commit resources to new deals. For example, debt providers, the debt capital markets arms of major western investment banks, and hedge funds have all displayed interest in financing opportunities in this arena.
Given the political sensitivity of the Russian oil and gas industry, it is vital for OFS companies to have strong relationships with the various players. For foreign investors, the use of Russian personnel provides both local knowledge and access (commonly referred to as "local content"). In many cases, it is necessary to form partnerships with local companies. Shell's Sakhalin Production Sharing Agreement, for example, requires that 70 percent of OFS and construction services be provided by Russian companies.
Once these larger questions are addressed, there are at least six keys to success for foreign investors in this arena:
1. Invest in a minority position with a good tax-paying Russian partner (majority control is preferred).
2. Ensure that both parties are working in concert by aligning incentives and goals.
3. Structure the deal to leverage the strengths of each partner.
4. Make large deals, which will attract and maintain the interest of top management.
5. Structure the deal to allow for international growth.
6. Attain the "blessing" of the Russian government prior to the investment.
The Russian government has not, to date, been active in the OFS segment, and will likely remain on the sidelines. The OFS market is non-strategic and requires technology and capital, which the government is content letting outsiders provide. Foreign investors must, however, remain attuned to any change in the government's posture, just one of the many challenges associated with this opportunity-rich domain.

Chuck Wicks
Chuck Wicks
After growing up on his family's potato farm in Smyrna, DE, future country star Chuck Wicks spent his college years discovering his musical talents. After graduation, he moved to Nashville in 2002 and began to pursue a songwriting career. He was soon penning close to 100 songs a year, one of which caught the ears of the RCA label. The story of a suitor asking for girlfriend's hand in marriage, "Stealing Cinderella" became Wicks' debut single when RCA serviced it to radio during the summer of 2007. That September, Wicks took part in the ill-fated reality television show Nashville, which only aired for two episodes before being axed by the Fox network. The cancellation may have actually helped Wicks, though, since he was now able to focus on promoting the single and making his debut at the Grand Ole Opry. By the late fall, the song was becoming a staple for the father/daughter dance at weddings, as well as a Top 10 hit on country radio.

Environmental Plan for Navajo Generating Station
The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed new rules that will require owners of the Navajo Generating Station to pay $1.1 billion dollars to limit emissions from the plant. Owners of the plant say if approved, that will force them to shut down the power plant. Much of the electricity from the plant is used to pump water uphill in the Central Arizona Project Canal. A technical working group has come up with an alternative plan, and the CAP is asking members of the public to contact the EPA by January 6 to support their plan. CAP General Manager David Modeer will discuss the issue, along with Marshall Johnson of To Nizhoni Ani, a group with a mission to protect and preserve the environment.

text: Cholera Spreading Rapidly in Southern DRCOctober 18, 2002Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has sent additional staff and medical materials to southern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Over the past weeks teams have seen cholera spreading rapidly over the region, with Katanga and Kasai provinces most heavily affected. To curb the epidemic MSF is sending more staff (nurse and expert in water and sanitation) and supplies (re-hydration material, sanitary and medical equipment) to East Kasai. A total of 25,000 cholera cases have been detected in Katanga, since the first outbreak in September 2001. In the first half of October 2002, 204 cases were counted just in the cholera treatment centers (CTC) that are managed or monitored by MSF. But now the disease seems to be spreading into neighbouring provinces as well. "In Mbuji Mayi, East Kasai Province, the situation is worse than expected," said Luc Nicolas, operational coordinator for MSF. "Our teams discovered cholera cases in at least five different locations, even 75 kilometers from Mbuji Mayi. Until now a total of 172 cases have been admitted to the five CTCs in Bakamba, Chilunde, Kamaleka, Dipumba and Kabengele." The cholera outbreaks do not only result from lack of sufficient access to health care and food. Hygiene is also very problematic. The majority of villages in East Kasai with cholera cases are involved in diamond mining. The wastewater of this industry goes directly into the river Lubilanji, which is the main source of drinking water for the population. The ritual of placing the bodies of the deceased in the river is another reason the epidemic is spreading along the river to North. "Our teams will organize an awareness campaign to educate the local population in the region on the basic principles of hygiene promotion, how they can treat the water for drinking purposes, how cholera is transmitted, and how they can protect themselves against infection." Luc Nicolas continued. "This way we hope to curb the spread of the disease. Improving access to safe drinking water by providing protected wells is another possibility."

Corporal Todd Love doesn't remember that last step he took. Actually, he remembers little of the events from 0710 on Oct. 25, 2010, or of the days and weeks thereafter. While on patrol in Sangin province, Afghanistan, he became an intended victim of a huge improvised explosive device (IED) buried by a Muslim terrorist alongside the main route leading from the village Love's patrol had just passed.
Pressure detonated, the violent bone-ripping blast temporarily blinded and deafened all within 100 meters of the device. Most would feel the concussion of the shock wave and be thrown from their intended path, but as is often the case when at ground zero, few would remember actually hearing it. Memories, should there be any, would be a surrealistic slow-motion horror movie.
The road erupted. The earth shook, belching fire, rock, equipment and body parts. The life of Todd Love would be changed dramatically forever.
The horrific blast vaporized everything into a pink mist from Cpl Love's groin down. His left arm was mangled badly and hung uselessly from just below the elbow. Had it not been for the searing heat of the blast cauterizing his major blood vessels and arteries, he would have bled out quickly.
Moments later when his unit corpsman reached his position, it logically and understandably was assumed that the corporal was dead. As per standard operating procedure of combat lifesaving, he was given shots of morphine to help cope with the unbearable pain that was sure to come should he possibly still be among the living. Reaching the site as the dust was settling, the corpsman noted that there were still signs of life.
Remarkably, Cpl Love regained consciousness. His first cognizant words were to inquire if he still had his manhood. The answer was, "Yes."
His next question was about the status of his team leader, Cpl Kyle Thompson, who was just a few feet from him when the IED exploded. Thompson was hit in the face and lost an eye. Told of his team leader's injuries, Cpl Love responded with the best dark humor he could muster: "Thompson ... Thompson ... it sucks to be you right now!"
At that point, the rest of the fire team knew that both Marines had every intention of making it home. An hour and 20 minutes later, a British helicopter, the closest aircraft to their position, arrived to retrieve the emergency medevacs. The day and the intense fire of close combat were far from over. At least 10 rocket-propelled grenades were fired at the medevac before it reached cruising altitude. Fortunately, all missed their mark.
Ten days later in intensive care at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, Germany, and with his father, Gary, at his side, Todd Love lifted the covers to feel for what might be left. His singular statement was, "That high?" His father said, "Yes." Cpl Love assessed the damage and perhaps his future and quietly filed those thoughts away. It was time to refocus.
The blast was a defining moment in life for the Marine. From that point on, the injuries he had suffered would affect not only him, but his family, friends, fellow Marines and everyone else who knew him. The important options in life were reduced actually to two: He could spend the rest of his life as a "victim" and depend on the world for his basic needs, or he could resolve to live life to the fullest with not much more than sheer determination. Cpl Love chose the latter.
Meeting him and his father for the first time at the Marine Corps Marathon last fall, I saw quiet determination in everything they both did. Neither wanted pity, distance or isolation. Both wanted only the opportunity to live, not just exist from day to day. They told me that at the invitation of Jeremy Soles, president of Team X-T.R.E.M.E., they had been invited to Hawaii, all expenses paid, to surf, scuba and skydive. All three sports are not for the weak or the timid, and the percentage of the able-bodied population who would do any, much less all three, is low. Cpl Love wanted to do it all.
Arriving in Hawaii, Todd and Gary Love toured the usual visitor sites. After some moments of reflection at Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial, it was time for lunch. The closest restaurant was on a high second deck at the Rainbow Marina. Until arriving, no one in the party realized that there was no elevator. What might have been an awkward moment unfolded as if choreographed. Arriving at the bottom of the ladder well, Gary Love glanced at his son in his wheelchair, grabbed the chair with one hand and then bent down for Todd to sling his good arm around his father's neck. Without missing a beat or a step, they climbed the two flights of stairs to the top landing. Somehow, they made it look so natural.
Back at their hotel in Honolulu, not wanting to wait for the elevator, Cpl Love took it upon himself to use the escalator. The hotel service attendant saw him and immediately rushed to reprimand him for a safety violation. With a twisted sense of humor only a wounded Marine could have, Cpl Love's response was, "Come on now. You are trying to treat me like I'm disabled."
That afternoon, with professional coaching, Cpl Love rode the waves on a surfboard. Just to prove he was a "natural," he did a handstand on his prosthesis and his good arm. All was documented on camera—point proven.
The next day, with a device provided by the techs at Bethesda National Naval Medical Center (now the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center), he strapped a dolphinlike-fin device to his torso and scuba dove as if he had been doing it all his life.
There is nothing "natural" about leaping from an airplane in flight. Perhaps, that is exactly why Cpl Love wanted to do just that. Doing a tandem skydive with a triple amputee presents some unusual challenges. Without legs, there is nothing to cinch with the leg straps. Would the prosthetic arm change the body-flight dynamics?
The biggest and most obvious complication was who would be qualified, available and willing to be his tandem master. The only tandem master who both would and could was Michael Elliott, a former Golden Knight and retired U.S. Army sergeant first class. Elliott had jumped with President George H. W. Bush strapped to his body on two occasions and had jumped with a long list of amputees; he was one of the very few qualified to make a jump with Cpl Love.
Elliott, a master parachute rigger, made a tandem harness attached to a ballistic-material "bucket" in which Cpl Love would sit. At Skydive Hawaii, they tried it on. The fit was perfect. Cpl Love, his father and Team X-T.R.E.M.E. would do an exhibition skydive into the X-TERRA Games at Kualoa Ranch on the northeast shoreline of Oahu.
The ride to altitude was filled with the usual edgy humor. "Corporal Love, when you are about to land, don't forget to lift your feet up," and "Don't worry if we have a high-speed malfunction. We will have the rest of our lives to figure it out and ride our reserve." If there was tension on that flight, it wasn't in the face of Cpl Love.
Watching the movement to the door with Cpl Love strapped to Michael Elliott's body seemed surreal. The skies were broken with soft, dark clouds. The exit at about 9,000 feet was over the water. Within a couple hundred feet of leaving the aircraft, they were body-flight stable and smiling. At 5,000 feet they waved off and deployed the main canopy. Feet-dry at about 3,000 feet, they made lazy upwind spiral turns as they set up for the initial approach. Turning on final at about 200 feet, they headed into the wind line, flared and contacted the deck at the wind "T," right on target. Cpl Love immediately was surrounded by people cheering loudly.
To him, it was just another day in the life of someone who intends to live it well. On that day, Love was all around us. Love was in the air.

According to Tracy Police Department Detective Craig Kootstra, the front door was unlocked when the three men entered the house on the 500 block of West Kavanagh Avenue just after midnight Monday.
The victim and his friends were watching a basketball game on television when the men entered, Kootstra said. The alleged robbers took the cellphones of the four people and then fled the house, the detective added.
The three other people in the house told police they couldn't identify the men because the gunmen were trying to hide their faces. Kootstra said police hope the victim will be able to provide them with more information about the shooting. The victim is expected to make a full recovery, Kootstra said, but police haven't been able to extensively interview him.
"Trying to figure out why the three men were there," he said Tuesday. "We don't know why this happened."
Kootstra asked anyone with information about the shooting to call the Tracy Police Department at 831-4550

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
Materials used in building construction and conditions resulting from property damage, or even poor maintenance and upkeep, can result in indoor air pollution that could jeopardize a person's health. Many of the sources of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) problems (i.e. formaldehyde, mold, radon, etc.) can be easily prevented and corrected by simple measures. Therefore, to help homeowners and business owners recognize and correct problems they may be experiencing, the following sources have been pulled together for easy access to useful information and answers to solve indoor air pollution. The information consists of guidance on most IAQ issues, links to home testing kits, and associations of professional consultants should these services be desired or needed. Authorization and resources do not allow the MDEQ to visit homes and businesses to test for indoor pollution, but the agency is striving to be of assistance through the information it is making available here.

Note on FEMA travel trailers and Emergency housing cottages:
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) test results showed that levels of toxic formaldehyde in the remaining FEMA trailers were on average five times as high as normal due to building materials and poor ventilation. Formaldehyde is a common ingredient in pressed-wood products, including particle board, and can cause eye, nose, and throat irritation, wheezing and coughing, fatigue, skin rashes, headaches, nosebleeds, and severe allergic reactions.. Formaldehyde levels are generally much higher in the warmer months. Good ventilation can dilute and reduce levels quite a bit. The CDC is recommending that Katrina storm survivors be moved out. Most have been vacated. Families who live in travel trailers and mobile homes should do the following: spend as much time outdoors in fresh air as they can, especially if the family includes children, elderly people,or those with chronic diseases such as asthma; open windows as much as they can to let in fresh air; try to keep the temperature indoors at the lowest comfortable setting; not smoke, especially indoors; and see a doctor or another medical professional if they have health concerns. The Sierra Club in Mississippi is concerned that formaldehyde levels in the cottages could also be higher than normal if adequate ventilation and temperature control is not used.

The actor's latest film Captain America: The First Avenger topped the U.S. box office last month (Jul11), and Jackson admits he gave the movie a helping hand by paying for people in his community to see it.
He tells London's Evening Standard, ""If you can't contribute to your own box office, what can you do? Not only do I see it, I actually buy like $2,000 of tickets and give them to the church.
""So at least I can say the movie made at least $2,000 in the opening weekend.""

The Essential EatingWell Cookbook: Good Carbs, Good Fats, Great Flavorsby Patsy Jamieson Published 2004 by Countryman PressHardcover, English. ISBN: 0881506303
Find this book in our catalog.
Jacket Notes:
This big, beautifully presented cookbook is truly essential for the cook who cares about balancing good health and good taste.
REVIEW: Publisher's Weekly 08/02/2004
Food and diet fads come and go, but throughout its history, Eating Well magazine has maintained a singular focus: to promote the value of eating food that's both nutritionally sound and delicious. This collection of 350 recipes culled from thousands of well-tested Eating Well favorites is an excellent source of inspiration for health-minded cooks. Addressing the current conflicting weight-loss trends, Jamieson, who directs Eating Well 's test kitchens, makes the case for understanding (rather than eliminating) carbohydrates or fats, and provides guidelines for how to make healthy choices. Though not intended specifically as a "diet" cookbook, the volume includes per-serving analysis of each recipe for those seeking to monitor their intake. In addition, favorite comfort foods are subjected to the "Rx for Recipes" treatment, resulting in Updated Mac and Cheese, which substitutes whole-wheat pasta and low-fat cottage cheese and adds spinach, or Fettuccine Alfredo, which incorporates 1% milk and reduced fat cream cheese instead of cream. And vegetarian selections offer interesting, flavorful choices enhanced with fresh herbs and spices. Refreshingly, the "good carbs, good fats" subtitle is really just a hook that's explored only in the book's introduction. All the recipes are relatively low in fat and carbs, but that's nothing new for Eating Well cookbooks. 16 pages of color photos not seen by PW. (Sept.)

Speaking to the farmgirl in all of us, MaryJane Butters offers a captivating introduction to the organic lifestyle, resurrects forgotten domestic arts, and shares lessons gleaned from her diverse background and two decades of life as an Idaho farmer. Whether you simply need encouragement to embrace a more authentic, wholesome lifestyle or you're looking for guidance on building a greenhouse, chopping firewood, hosting a town event, caring for a flock of chickens, making your own butter, growing a winter salad, or choosing a water filter, "MaryJane's Ideabook, Cookbook, Lifebook is both an inspiration and a practical road map for farmgirls of all stripes." Dreams are MaryJane Butters' business, and she has always pursued them without pausing to consult conventional wisdom.

King's previous book, Kathleen's Bake Shop Cookbook, is one of the most solid baking books out there; its no-frills--and no-fail--recipes were inspired by the mouthwatering fare served at the author's old Southampton, N.Y., bakery, Kathleen's Bake Shop. Now that King has moved on to Tate's Bake Shop, the treats she's whipping up haven't much changed, as the 100 recipes in this solid work demonstrate. The two books have a lot in common (including identical subtitles); standards like Orange-Poppy Seed Muffins, Ginger Hearts, Chocolate-Chip Cookies and Peanut Butter Squares appear in both. This new work includes some slightly fancier recipes, like Nutella Shortbread Sandwich Cookies, Warm Individual Chocolate Cakes, Mocha Pecan Muffins and Fresh Blueberry and White Chocolate Tart. Of course, simplicity is paramount: "All the recipes in this book should take less time to make than it would to go to a store to buy a commercially prepared baked good," King says. Her fans have come to rely on her standards, and for the most part, that's what they'll get: Lemon Pound Cake, Raspberry Squares and Old-Fashioned Soft Sugar Cookies are exactly the sort of time-tested delights King's loyal customers clamor for.

Want Verizon's iPhone? Here's how to switch over
So you're thinking of switching to the Verizon iPhone next month from another carrier? Assuming you'd like to keep your current phone number, there are some clear-cut dos-and-don'ts when it comes to porting numbers. Here's a refresher in case it's been a while. Read up on everything else you need to know about the iPhone 4 here.
Do I cancel my current contract? Don't even think about it! The best way to lose your cell phone number forever is to cancel your contract with your current carrier (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, or others) before signing on to a new one. Instead, walk into any retail store with your current phone in hand and sign up for a new contract. Verizon reps will do all the heavy lifting for you, essentially canceling your contract on your behalf.
Will I need to sign a new contract? Yes, unless you wish to buy the iPhone 4 at the off-contract price, which typically costs much more up front. The 16GB model will cost $199.99 with a two-year contract; the 32GB model will sell for $299.99.
How long will it take to port my number? The timing varies, but you could get use of your number on your new phone in as few as 3 hours, or up to a day. If the volume of requests is too high, the port could take as many as four days. Patience is a must.… Read more

With products with a set shelf life, I am always concerned that I will receive the items that were manufactured years ago. NOT this item. It was packaged and sealed on Jan 31 2013 with a shelf life as stated...the full 20 years providing it is stored as required.
This is the first time I ever tried buying large quantities of survival food. The taste is not as good as buying individual dry soup mixes, but comes in much larger quantities for less money, and the soups can easily be better tasting with a few added spices. The only package that is resealable is the oatmeal, so storage containers are needed for any unused portions.
grab a few and put them away, one note is it takes 18 gallons of water to re-hydrate the entire bucket, just stock up enough water so you dont fall short
First off. Most people don't open this and use it, as it is for emergencies. So you won't find as many revies as there should be. With that said, I haven't used it, but i have researched it. This is the best bang for the buck. $10 cheaper than wise and you get so much more. This is emergency food with a potential shelf life of 20ish years. I hope to never taste it!! Shipping was very fast and everything came well packed. Close to 2k calories a day. Most others are far less than that. I am sure if your a guy like me(6'3", 240LBS) you will need every bit of 2000 cals. Mostly meatless and "soupish". I am giving this 5 stars for amount of food and calories.
This bucket make the Wise buckets look small. It is packed with food. Great value!
Overstock is the cheapest place to buy these buckets. Usually do a lot of buying through ***, but not these. Have gotten several for emergencies. Sign up for "O" rewards and wait for a sale coupon and you can get these for like ***. "Preparers" excellent source to have just in case America turns upside down. Grocery food expires...
Great Item and good delivery speed, All items were as listed .. I had one pouch of oatmeal that was not full . It contained about one third of what was in the others, but other than that it was just as expected. Oatmeal pouch was sealed,so I am assuming the machine that filled it messed up.. lol.
Fast service and prompt shipping, product excellent has every thing you need will continue to buy from them
Looks great for an emergency and with a long shelf life it's perfect. For those who say this is difficult to open, snip the lid at a few of the slits and it will open easily. Then just pop it back on with a few firm smacks along the rim.
Im very excited about your product. It looks great, shipping was done in a timely manner. Very good price

short tail snake |
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission biologists are asking the public to report sightings of three rare snake species: Florida pine snake, southern hognose snake and short-tailed snake. Citizens can help with research on these species by reporting sightings online.
View More images >>Reports from the public will aid in determining where these snakes live and their status.
All of these snake species have been petitioned for federal listing.
The three species are found in dry, upland habitats and spend most of their time underground. They are only occasionally seen moving along the surface or crossing a road.
For each report, the citizen is asked to provide the location where they saw the snake and the month and year the observation occurred. Researchers are also requesting citizens to submit photos of the snakes, when possible, to verify identification.
Reports can include live or dead animals.
Although these species are nonvenomous, citizens should avoid handling or disturbing them.
For more information about living with snakes and to submit sightings to the FWC, visit MyFWC.com/Conservation, select "How You Can Conserve," and choose "Snakes" under "Living with Wildlife."

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission
Editor's note: You can also email firstname.lastname@example.com with sightings or for more information.

[Video] Feed Me Explains Teeth Stage Design & New Music
The team at MusicRadar recently sat down for an interview with Feed Me, also know as John Gooch when not behind the 18 foot grin, and he gave an in depth view of his Teeth Tour from conception to touring the world. We were fortunate enough to catch Feed Me's performance at the Music Box in Hollywood this year, and watching this interview gives a whole new meaning to the spellbinding performance.
Now looking towards the future, here's a little something new Feed Me has forthcoming on Mau5trap. Annie Mac on BBC Radio1 debuted his latest track, Little Cat Steps, on August 17th, and this proves Feed Me is showing no signs of slowing down his production.
A little side note to the production of this new track, but Gooch not only produces the music behind the Feed Me persona, but he designed all of artwork for his album covers as well as the artwork for this track. He was working professionally as graphic designer before taking music originally as a dnb producer, Spor, and his latest electronic productions as Feed Me.
That said, we are absolutely pumped for his new music and we hope you dig it too!
