Mercury, often found in canned tuna, is a neurotoxin that builds up in large fish such as albacore tuna. The report recommends that all children avoid eating albacore tuna.

Canned albacore tuna purchased by U.S. schools contains more mercury than what government officials have reported, raising the risks for some tuna-loving kids, according to a new study from a coalition of advocacy groups.
Children who eat two medium servings of albacore, or white, tuna per week could be exposed to as much as six times the dose that federal guidelines consider safe, according to the report prepared for the Mercury Policy Project. It is the first study to test the mercury content of tuna brands purchased by schools.
The report recommends that all children avoid eating albacore tuna. In addition, it advises children under 55 pounds to limit "light" tuna to one meal once a month, and twice a month for children over that weight.
Since 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Environmental Protection Agency have recommended that pregnant and nursing women, women who may become pregnant and young children limit canned white tuna to six ounces per week. Light tuna – made from a species known as skipjack – contains less mercury so the government recommends no more than 12 ounces per week.
But the advocates say those recommendations are too lax because their tests show that "customers who choose canned albacore tuna may fairly frequently get mercury levels more than twice the FDA's average for the species," the report says.
Light tuna, on the other hand, was slightly lower in mercury than FDA tests have shown.
FDA officials and representatives of tuna companies were unavailable for comment on the findings.
Mercury is a neurotoxin that builds up in fish, particularly larger ones such as albacore tuna.
Because canned tuna is a cheap, nutritional food that is popular in schools, parents should rotate other fish into their children's diet to reduce their risk of neurological effects, the report suggests.
"Most kids don't eat that much tuna, so nothing really is needed to modify the behavior of a majority of kids," said Ned Groth, co-author of the report and former senior scientist at the Consumers Union. "Kids who are probably above the ninetieth percentile in terms of how much tuna they eat, that's where I'd focus my attention."
Scientists not involved with the study generally agreed with the report's advice.
"They are probably good, conservative recommendations," said University of South Carolina assistant professor Jennifer Nyland, who studies mercury's effects on autoimmune diseases.
A panel of scientists from the National Research Council concluded more than a decade ago that prenatal exposure to mercury reduces the mental abilities of children, including their motor skills, attention and IQs. The FDA and EPA fish consumption guidelines are based on 25 years of studies of effects in Faroe Islands children highly exposed to mercury in the womb.
There is little data, however, on the health risks for children, rather than their pregnant mothers, who eat tuna. Industry groups argue that kids have been eating tuna fish sandwiches for years with no apparent harm.
"Nobody can really say what the effects on children are, because nobody has really looked," Groth said. "It's perfectly reasonable to assume that a child is vulnerable to methylmercury poisoning, although there's no epidemiological evidence right now."
The groups' recommendations for limiting kids' consumption of light tuna are much more restrictive than any experts have recommended. Their goal was to keep kids' mercury exposures within 25 percent of the EPA's recommended "safe" dose, even though the EPA already has built a 10-fold margin of safety into that dose. Groth said that is a valid goal given the scientific uncertainty about the risks to children.

Mortgage Delinquencies: Less Stigma, More Walk-Aways?
Published on Mon, Sep 20, 2010 by
Chris Thomas
Read More
County & State
KIRKLAND, Wash. - At least one in five homeowners owes more on their mortgage than their home is worth, and an increasing number think it's okay to walk away from that mortgage. A
Pew Research Center
survey found that about two-thirds of respondents still believe it's unacceptable to stop making house payments, but 36 percent say it makes sense - at least in some cases.
Liz Quick is a Kirkland attorney who specializes in consumer, bankruptcy and personal injury law. She counsels people considering bankruptcy and suggests that having a lawyer or credit counselor look at the original loan documents can sometimes be helpful.
"You might end up having issues related to your loan, perhaps predatory lending - or perhaps just a contract that you may need something looked at so you can see if there's any protection for you within your contract rights."
Quick thinks "walking away" isn't an especially accurate term - that most people try to hang on and keep paying as long as they can, even when bankruptcy or negotiating with creditors would be better options. In the
survey, the less secure people felt about their finances and the more their homes had dropped in value, the more likely they were to say it's okay to default on a mortgage.
In Quick's experience, most people don't intend to default on their obligations. Instead, she says, they run through their savings to stay current and often wait too long to seek help.
"You know, educating yourself and getting as much information as you can, as early as you can, is always the best advice. There's a lot going now on that's there to find, but you do have to put out the effort and go after it."
She has found, in some cases, that a bank suggests people stop making house payments and then drags its feet on making modification arrangements, causing the homeowners to fall farther behind.
"Many of the banks that were purportedly considering modifications would actually require folks to be at least two months delinquent on their mortgage in order to even be eligible to apply for a modification."
Quick says the federal mortgage modification programs got off to rocky starts, but in her view they seem to be more responsive now.
The full survey, "Walking Away," is available at

The top executive in Cisco's struggling collaboration business unit is leaving the company, Cisco confirmed this week.
O.J. Winge, most recently senior vice president and general manager of Cisco's Collaboration Technology Group, is leaving Cisco "for personal reasons," according to a Wednesday blog post from Marthin De Beer, senior vice president, video and collaboration group.
Replacing Winge is Rowan Trollope, most recently group president of Symantec SMB and the Symantec.cloud business unit, and a 21-year Symantec veteran. Trollope, who was "instrumental" in the turnaround of Symantec's Norton brand, wrote De Beer, will assume responsibility for Cisco's full collaboration portfolio including TelePresence, Unified Communications Manager and WebEx.
"Rowan is an engineer at heart, and he has consistently demonstrated a passion for technology and user experience throughout his long and distinguished career at Symantec," De Beer wrote.
[Related: 30 Notable IT Executive Moves: October 2012]
Winge joined Cisco during its 2010 acquisition of Tandberg, where he'd been vice president of the EMEA region and then executive vice president of products. He was initially Cisco's vice president and general manager for telepresence, but earlier this year succeeded Barry O'Sullivan as collaboration group chief.
Cisco during its fiscal fourth quarter saw an 8 percent decline in collaboration, which CEO John Chambers at the time attributed to decreased spending on video telepresence largely in public sector and the European market. Cisco has continued to expand its overall collaboration portfolio, including with cloud-based versions of many of its video and software tools and partner incentives behind what Cisco executives have previously described as at least a $42 billion total addressable market for Cisco solution providers.
Henry Dewing, principal analyst at Forrester Research, said in a Wednesday blog post that Trollope was a smart hire for Cisco.
"Rowan comes from Symantec where he was a leader in developing and delivering security solutions. He is a smart, well-educated executive who brings hard-core, real-world experience managing and growing software and cloud-based businesses," Dewing wrote.
Winge was famous for his commitment to user experience, Dewing added, but Trollope should help Cisco's collaboration efforts by driving a focus on the user, a focus on the cloud, and a focus on growth.
"Rowan expanded Symantec's cloud-based offerings to encompass the majority of its enterprise technology portfolio -- he gets the value of 'as-a-service' delivery," he said. "[He's also] taken new ideas from inception to business viability in a variety of domains ranging from creating the marketing campaign 'Cybercrime Is Real' to developing an SMB market-facing business unit."
Cisco is scheduled to report fiscal first quarter earnings on Tuesday.

Chart of the Week | March 11, 2013 | Topics: Fixed Income
Data shows investors continuing to invest in fixed income, but there is arguably very little intermediate or long-term value in government bonds anywhere in the world. Real yields (inflation-adjusted) are negative in the US and the UK, and at the shorter end of the yield curves in countries like Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Austria and the Netherlands, nominal yields are negative. Essentially, investors are paying these governments to hold their money.

High Yield: Why You Still Need It
James KeenanAfter a solid four-year run, many investors are asking whether it's time to lock in profits in high yield and move on. Jim Keenan, head of Leveraged Finance at BlackRock, explains why high yield stills deserve a central place in investor portfolios.

Below are key drivers of Intel's value that present opportunities for upside or downside to the current Trefis price estimate for Intel:
For additional details, select a driver above or select a division from the interactive Trefis split for Intel at the top of the page.
Intel manufactures and markets microprocessors used in servers, desktops and notebooks. Microprocessors are a PC's central processing unit (CPU) or the brain behind the computer. A microprocessor is the single most important component that drives computer's power and performance.
Intel also manufactures chipsets used in desktops, notebooks and wireless devices. A chipset operates as the PC's nervous system, sending data between the microprocessor and input, display and storage devices such as the keyboard, mouse, monitor, hard drive and CD or DVD drive.
Intel has been on an acquisition spree and has acquired McAfee and Infineon's Wireless Business Solutions unit in the recent past.
We believe the Notebook Processors division is the most valuable segment within Intel for the following two reasons:
We estimate that Intel held an 86% market share in the 180+ million unit notebook market in 2012 compared to 80% market share in the 140+ million unit desktop market. Besides the fact that Intel is simply selling more notebook processors than desktop processors today, the notebook market is estimated to grow rapidly over our forecast period whereas desktop shipments are expected to decline.
We estimate that Intel made $61 in profit (EBITDA) on average for each notebook microprocessor sold in 2012, compared to the $49 for each desktop microprocessor sold. Although server processors were the most profitable at an estimated $311 profit per unit sold in 2012, that's about 5 times the profitability of notebook processors. But Intel's notebook processor unit sales for 2012 amounted to more than 8 times the unit sales for server processors.
Server virtualization is essentially server consolidation that enables running multiple applications on a single server instead of on multiple servers. Server virtualization is driving a mix shift to higher-end servers, which requires multi-core processor servers that tend to be more complex and more expensive than traditional single core processors.
The shift of consumer preference from desktops to laptops will continue as the performance and pricing gap between desktops and laptops narrows. We expect the desktop market to stagnate but forecast notebooks market to witness growth throughout our review period, primarily driven by demand from emerging markets.
Smartphone shipments increased by 43% in 2012 ($675 million), accounting for 39% of the mobile phone market. Gartner forecast the mobile phone shipments to climb to 2.2 billion units by 2016, and we estimate smartphones to account for 60% of the shipments. Improving mobile network speeds, growing awareness of smartphones, multiple options present in the market and innovation from smartphone manufacturers will continue to drive growth.
IDC estimates the global tablet shipments to have reached 117 million units in 2012, a 65% increase from 2011, and forecast the market to rise to over 260 million units by 2016
With the introduction of Intel's Sandy Bridge processors and AMD's Llano processors both companies have moved away from the idea of integrated graphics. These chips pack GPU within the CPU leading to much better graphics performance than one can get from traditional integrated graphics.
This remains a key area that is not yet reasonably explored by both Intel and AMD. Intel has gained some ground with few design wins in 2012 and AMD is also looking to push into the market later this year. Smartphone and tablets are likely to remain one of the key focus for Intel in 2013 and beyond.
Windows 8 is ARM-compatible which marks the entry of ARM-based processor manufacturers in the PC market, which has traditionally been dominated by x86 processor architecture. This will challenge the dominance of Intel which could lose some market share in the future, on account of increasing competition.
${forecast} represents Intel's share of microprocessors sold globally for use in servers.
Historically, ${forecast} has increased from 85% in 2007 to 95.6% in 2012. Having lost its market share to AMD several years back, Intel has steadily regained its share in the server processor market. However, we forecast Intel's market share to decline in the future.
Trefis considered the following factors for its forecast:

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Geothermal Country Notes
Sweden's utilisation of geothermal heat is on a very limited scale. Lund, in the far south of Sweden, has had a 4 MWt geothermal heat pump providing base-load heat to a district heating network for the past 20 years. A venture at the Lund scheme, the Deep Geothermal Project, plans to utilise deep water with a temperature greater than 100°C for direct heat application in the existing plant. Another project in Malmö, also in the far south, plans to extract geothermal heat by means of an absorption heat pump.
There are many small ground-source heat pumps installed in the country. It has been estimated that by 2005 some 275 000 (average size, 12 kW) had been installed in residential buildings. Some 600 larger pumps (average size, 900 kW) have been installed in district heating schemes.

Is there a demand for more office space in downtown Ann Arbor?
Daniel Brenner | AnnArbor.com
After scouring the local office market for more than a year, Barracuda signed a deal for 45,000 square feet of space on Maynard Street in Borders' former offices.
But the move — which more than tripled Barracuda's Ann Arbor office — isn't necessarily long term.
"This is enough for us in the immediate term," said Barracuda general manager Guy Suter. "But we're in a situation where we're hiring one to two people per week."
"I'd love to think when we need 100,000 square feet and have 1,000 employees that we can still be downtown, but the path isn't 100 percent clear," he continued. "(The space) we ended up with was the only thing we could have done."
Ann Arbor real estate agents and landlords agree: the office market downtown is tight and it can't support many large expansions right now.
Of downtown's roughly 1,700,000 square feet of office space, less than 170,000 square feet is available, according to Swisher Commercial's 2012 vacancy report. And real estate agents say that vacancy rate is even lower as several companies are negotiating deals for space, including Prime Research's recent deal for 16,000 square feet in the former flagship Borders store.
Most of the available space, said Neal Warling of Jones Lang LaSalle, consists of small offices.
"We just can't find enough space for larger users," Warling said. "Anything above 5,000 square feet is getting really hard to find in one location, and that's a function of two things: there hasn't been a lot of larger building development downtown and those buildings are largely full."
Real estate listings show that one of the only downtown vacancies more than 15,000 square feet is at 111 North Ashley Street.
Joseph Tobianski | AnnArbor.com
That makes finding a large chunk of space downtown a challenge for businesses, and companies like Barracuda and Menlo Innovations have thought outside the box in order to expand downtown.
"We found something unusual and we were willing to go the extra mile to make that unusual space work for us," said Menlo CEO Rich Sheridan. Menlo tripled its office space last year when it moved into 17,000 square feet in the basement floor of the former Tally Hall building.
"I've worked out in the fringes of town in office parks for us, we absolutely love being downtown. The type of business we are and just our spirit and energy; we wanted to be in the vibrancy of the downtown area," Sheridan said.
Does downtown need more office space?
The idea of new office construction downtown is being tossed around by Ann Arbor's Downtown Development Authority as part of its Connecting William Street plan. The DDA, encouraging private redevelopment of several city-owned properties, is suggesting mixed-use buildings with a focus on office as one development possibility.
But is that figure really plausible?
No large floor plate office buildings have been constructed downtown in more than a decade, said developer Ed Shaffran. Over time, the available space has been mostly absorbed, but he still questions whether downtown needs large floor plate office development.
"We're Ann Arbor. Who is coming into town that needs this space?" he asked. "I don't see that many big floor plate users coming to downtown."
Swisher Commercial's Mike Giraud agreed, saying: "We're talking (30 percent) more office space over the next 10 to 12 years when nothing has been built since the 1990s."
Although Giraud said the supply is low and downtown could use large floor plate space, he said there are only so many big companies circling the market.
"There have not been a lot of big, corporate clients downtown," he said. "Google was looking for a large chunk of space, and certainly Barracuda. But there hasn't been a lot of office users downtown looking for more than 10,000 to 30,000 square feet."
"The question is, if you build it, will they come?" he asked.
How far off is new office construction?
As the real estate market struggles to recover, developers remain wary and it can be difficult to get financing for projects — especially for office buildings.
McKinley CEO Albert Berriz said Ann Arbor is experiencing a student housing boom because returns are higher and that's a safer bet for developers. However, new office construction downtown is expensive and it would result in high rental rates for businesses, he said.
"The cost to construct a new building in the downtown (is high), and the rents that would justify that construction don't exist in the market," he said.
Office rates downtown vary, but rent typically doesn't exceed $25 per square foot. Rental rates at a newly constructed building could reach $30 to $40 per square foot, Berriz said. Factor in the cost of parking, and operating a business downtown becomes too pricey for many companies.
"It's too expensive (to build) right now," said Jim Chaconas of Colliers International. "The rents have not caught up to what it would cost to make any money on building an office building."
Berriz — whose McKinley Towne Centre building downtown is fully occupied — said most companies are likely to look outside of downtown for space before paying high premiums to be downtown.
The south side of Ann Arbor, for instance, has a 15 percent vacancy rate and several large floor plate availabilities.
"I still think there are companies that are leasing space in the Briarwood Mall area that have said to themselves, 'sure, we'd love to be downtown, but we're not willing to pay to be there.' At what point are you willing to pay twice the rent?" Berriz said.
Shaffran, a developer who owns several buildings downtown, said what makes the most sense for a developer is to pre-lease a building before it's constructed.
"You would need a commitment today (from a tenant) if you were going to build a 100,000-square-foot building," he said. "I think it would be a safe assumption that you need to probably get 60 percent of that pre-leased to get a real commitment from a financial institution."
Susan Pollay of the DDA said the group is being contacted "all the time" by developers and companies interested in the city-owned lots downtown. Inquiries are coming from local, regional and national players, she said.
But she recognizes constructing an office building is still a challenge and it could be several years before the market is right.
"It's probably three to four years before the rents will hit a point to justify new construction," she said.
Staring the development discussions now is important, she said, because it takes a long time for city processes to work.
"The office market is going to take some time," she said. "It will be there, and certainly, as big pieces of downtown are getting signed up with new leases, the vacancy is dropping."
The Connecting William Street plan also suggests mixed-use development downtown should include active ground-floor use and incorporates residential units. The land consultant hired by the DDA, Todd Poole, called office construction by itself a "risky proposition" right now.

The best way to get any question answered here on the forums is to WRITE A GOOD SUBJECT for your post to make sure that the right person notices your post!
With hundreds of posts here every day, probably no one reads every post -- instead people are skimming the forums looking for topics that interest them or that they can contribute to. If your subject is too vague, the person who happens to have EXACTLY the answer you are looking for might miss your post! If your subject is specific and descriptive, people will want to read your post and respond.
It is also easier to find a post you have read before if it has a descriptive subject!
I hope no one takes this as criticism, it is just meant to help people get the best responses! A few times people have emailed and asked me "what is the subject for" and I have explained all of this, so I thought I would post it for everyone.
Happy Posting!

Wilmington still hopes for changes to Illiana route
By Mary Baskerville Correspondent December 14, 2012 10:46AM
Updated: January 17, 2013 6:29AM
The city of Wilmington is still lobbying for changes in the proposed pathway of the Illiana Expressway.
Mayor Marty Orr said recently that the city has not had any recent communication with the Illinois Department of Transportation, but is hopeful that the state will consider realigning the proposed Illiana to lessen the impact to Wilmington.
A pathway using a portion of the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie as it runs parallel along the New River Road is what the city desires, he said.
The city needs to "prepare and make plans" for the impacts that expressway will bring to Wilmington. The No. 1 position of the city is that any resident impacted by the expressway be taken care of, Orr said. The city also wants to see that any recreational areas that are impacted be taken care of, he said.
Wilmington wants a voice in the placement of interchanges and toll booths, he said. Wilmington does not want to become a route for trucks diverting from the expressway to avoid tolls, he said.
Areas of Wilmington likely to be most impacted include Foxtail Commons and Deer Creek Estates northeast of town and the O'Brien subdivision northwest of town, he said. The project will have a more indirect impact on Waters Edge, he said.

Costa-Gavras is a Greek filmmaker, best known for films with overt political themes, most famously the fast-paced thriller, Z (1969). Most of his movies were made in French; starting with Missing (1982), several were made in English.
Gavras was born in Loutra Iraias, Arcadia. His family spent the Second World War in a village in the Peloponnese, and moved to Athens after the war. His father had been a member of the left-wing EAM branch of the Greek Resistance, and was imprisoned after the war as a suspected communist. His father's record made it impossible for him to attend university or emigrate to the United States, so after high school Costa Gavras went to France, where he began his studies of law in 1951.
In 1956, he left his university studies to study film at the French national film school, IDHEC. After film school, he apprenticed under Yves Allégret, and became an assistant director for Jean Giono and René Clair. After several further positions as first assistant… read more

Got stuff to sell? Money to buy? Hit up Super Mega Replay, currently buying gently used stuff at its location in Coldwater Crossing next to Family Christian Stores.
The buy-sell-trade store opened July 18 and is still in buying mode. Aug. 25 is the grand opening, when the store begins selling. It bills itself as "the resale store of the future."
The store will pay you on the spot for your tools, home decor, housewares, kitchen items, pet supplies, sporting goods, electronics, furniture, movies and video games, and much more. It does not buy and sell clothes. And the store only accepts stuff that is clean, working, safe, has all its parts and is ready to sell.
Employees determine the price they'll pay you based on condition, consumer demand and inventory level. They'll pay you on the spot, cash or check. If you don't like the price they're willing to give you, then you keep the items.
If they don't think something will sell, they won't buy it from you. If you leave stuff for them to evaluate, they choose not to buy it and you don't come pick it up, it will be donated to charity.
You don't need an appointment to sell as long as you bring in your items at least an hour before closing. Hours are 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 11 a.m.-6 p.m. Sundays.
To learn more, go to www.supermegareplay.com or go to www.facebook.com/supermegareplay.
Actually, this isn't just a store, it's a warehouse, as in DSW, or Designer Shoe Warehouse. And it's coming to Fort Wayne where World Market used to be, next to the now-closed Borders bookstore on Coldwater Road.
The store will sell men's, women's and children's shoes, boots and athletic footwear in a wide variety of brands. I put in a phone call and sent an email to their corporate office asking when the store here will open but hadn't heard anything back as of the time I finished this column.
Community Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Indiana is partnering with Summit Brands and the Apple Glen Walmart to collect nonperishable food items. From 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Aug. 17 and 8 a.m.-noon Aug. 18, a Community Harvest truck will be at the Walmart Apple Glen parking lot accepting donations. Dropoff stations also will be located inside the Walmart store.
Community Harvest can always use donations such as peanut butter, canned meats, low-sodium vegetables, no-sugar-added fruits, condiments, spices, personal-hygiene items, facial tissue, toilet paper, paper towels and laundry detergent.
During the event, samples and coupons will be given away for Summit Brands, which manufactures and markets specialty cleaning brands and is privately owned and operated in Fort Wayne.

It's 5am in O-Town
- On December 12, 2013
- By lisa
- In Here At Home, Thoughts
- 41
I sometimes find myself less than thrilled to be living in a small city.
Too much familiarity, too static, too…well, you name it, and I've probably thought of it.
But you know,
Not many coffee shops will open a full hour ahead of schedule,
because the contractors have to be at work by 6,
or the ladies running groups want to be on the road by then.
And there's never a question of where to go to find Santa.
Why you can even plug your snowplow in, in an outlet of a parking lot.
And so I hit the road every morning at 5 o'clock, and I see a whole other side of this small city that I actually love.
It's been horribly cold here, and my cameras just don't behave when it's this cold, so these were taken with a little Canon PowerShot G10.
I think they are up to G16 now, but I just love this camera for times when a DSLR is not practical. AND it shoots in RAW!
I shot these handheld at ISO800 and decided to leave the noise in, quite simply because I liked it.

Living in a city surrounded by hills, means that you never really see a complete sunrise or sunset.
But every once in a while when everything comes together just right,
and you just happen to have your iPhone with you;
it may not be complete,
but it sure is magic.
Salisbury Center Covered Bridge

Salisbury Center Covered Bridge
Located in Salisbury Center, NY, this covered bridge crosses Spruce Creek, which at one time furnished waterpower for nine nearby mills. This is really not hard to imagine since the first thing you notice when in the area, is the power of the water as it crashes against the enormous rocks in the creek. Not only has the bridge been well maintained (built in 1875), but the area surrounding it is just beautiful, and offers lots of photo opportunities.

It might have been Hurricane Irene.
Or maybe it was Sandra.
It was totally uprooted but somehow found support,
On the very edge of the dam.
Weathered and worn,
But determined to get through it with a little help.
As we here in the U.S. look forward to Thanksgiving, and Hanukkah this week,
This year amongst many things, I find myself grateful for the support I know I always have.
Little decisions, or big choices.
Always quiet, but ever present.
I am truly blessed.
I am going to turn off comments here, but I'll still be visiting you, and I'll be back here after the holiday.
I wish each of you a very Happy Thanksgiving and a very Happy Hanukkah. Have a wonderful week!

It was a really nice day here weather-wise yesterday, which made it nice to be out with a camera. I re-visited a covered bridge that I'd photographed before. The last time I visited it, every single photo I took had sun flare in it. Now sun flare can be beautiful, but I really did not want it in my covered bridge photos.
So where's the covered bridge??? It will be here. Just as soon as I can decide on color or black and white! I was happy with the photos, but my favorite photo taken yesterday? Yup, this is it. A portion of a door latch on a rather "broken" building. Do you ever wonder why something just "clicks" with you? I sure do!

To me, benches are a lot like beaches.
Better when they're empty.
I think we've seen just about the last of the unusually mild weather we've had here.
The cold air came in today, and the forecasted 18 degree temperature for tonight,
pretty much guarantees the end of the color.
But all is good, and it's time to move on.
So thank you Mother Nature for a beautiful show this year.
Wishing you a great week ahead!!

Irish American Muslim converts emerge

Hamza Yusuf Hanson |
Hanson should know. His great-great grandfather, Michael O'Hanson, left Ireland around the time of the Famine.
Along with his wife Bridget, O'Hanson settled in Philadelphia, where it wasn't easy being Irish Catholic. Not for nothing did Hamza's distant relative Anglicize his name by dropping the "O."
These days, despite his Hibernian roots, Hamza Yusuf Hanson identifies himself as an "American Muslim" scholar who recently founded Zaytuna College in Berkley, California. That school is aiming to become the "first accredited Muslim college in the United States."
As strange as that might sound, it's probably no stranger than the notion of a "Catholic college" sounded some time ago.
So if we can have the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, who's to say deep into the 21st century, we won't have the Fighting Arabs of Zaytuna, or elsewhere?
Michael and Bridget O'Hanson may or may not be rolling over in their Catholic graves, given the beliefs of their great, great grandson. But Hamza Yusuf Hanson is not the only American of Irish descent who has entered the world of Allah.
The rapper Everlast, formerly of the Irish American hip hop group House of Pain (remember the St. Patrick's Day scenes in the '90s video "Jump Around"?) recently converted to Sunni Islam. Go to Facebook and you can find the aptly named group LIAM, which stands for the League of Irish American Muslims.
Most prominently, a few weeks back, an independent film called The Taqwacores was released.
Based on a book of the same name by Michael Muhammad Knight, the film is set in Buffalo and follows an average American white kid's journey from angst to Islam. Along the way, he takes up what is probably his most passionate devotion -- punk rock.
By the way, the average punk kid in The Taqwacores was actually born and raised Irish Catholic.
The New York Times once dubbed Knight's book a "Catcher in the Rye for young Muslims."
The paper added, "Mr. Muhammad Knight was born an Irish Catholic in upstate New York and converted to Islam as a teenager. He studied at a mosque in Pakistan but became disillusioned with Islam after learning about the sectarian battles after the death of Muhammad."
In a more recent book, Blue-Eyed Devil: A Road Odyssey Through Islamic America, Knight writes a length about the conflicts of being raised Irish Catholic and converting to Islam.
There's a scene with his old Irish grandfather, who used to walk young Michael to church "on weekday mornings to sit down and stand up and sit down again and stand up again and kneel on the padded kneeler before a tall bloody Christ."
There also a tense scene with "an archetypical old Irish fireman," and reflections on another Irish American who made his own journey to Islam, John Walker Lindh, the so-called "American Taliban" who vowed to kill Americans in the name of Islam.
To some, these fine Irish Catholics converting to Islam are surely proof that we are too lenient or too secular or not nearly rigid enough in our Catholicism.
I would suggest that it's mainly a product of living in America, where cultural collisions are at least as much of a rule as they are an exception.
Now, that does not mean this will be easy. Hamza Yusuf Hanson wrote in a recent Christian Science Monitor article, "The mid-19th century struggle of Irish-Catholics to be fully accepted as Americans should give today's Muslims hope that their efforts to weather the storms of controversy and mistrust will bear fruit."
Maybe. On the other hand, though it was not hard to find 19th century Protestants and Catholics literally clubbing each other in the name of religion, things are different today.
Elements of Islam have declared war on America, while that was not the case with Catholics back in the 1800s.
In the end, however, terrorism is not how most Americans -- Catholic or Muslim or whatever -- are going to experience good old-fashioned American culture clash.
Mostly, there will be intermarriage and earnest conversions, and some of those marriages will be successful and some won't. Some of those conversions will be permanent and some will not.
One thing we can be sure of is that they will continue to happen.

The Muslim faith is very unpopular just now, and it's easy to see why. But freedom to choose ones religion is a fundamental freedom, which should be cherished. It is possible to be Muslim and moderate, as the Ottoman Empire proved for many centuries. I wouldn't choose to convert, but should we not acknowledge everyone's right to find their God, in their own way, so long as they don't impose their beliefs on others?

More pathetic is the conversion of so many Irish-American Catholics to radical right wing politics (not traditional conservatism). Plus the conversion to Catholicism of the odious head of Fox News and the much divorced Newt Gingrinch. The Catholic clergy have become junior partners in the Republican Party at its worst.

"Catcher in the Rye" for Muslims? At least I know what book the guy who shoots Chris Martin of Coldplay (aka, Bono lite) will be holding. FYI: Mark Chapman was holding Catcher when he shot John Lennon. Anyone ever notice a fair number of Americans who convert to Islam do so while in jail (Mike Tyson is a prominent example). Then again, NOI was founded by Wallace Fard while in prison; in the interest of fairness, I would also like to point out that the Mormon religion was also founded by a jailbird, Joseph Smith in upstate NY. One small difference between the Irish and the Muslim religions though: Ireland has a great history of literature whereas the Muslims, not so much. Perhaps you missed UN statistic that more books are translated from English to Spanish in one year than into Arabic in the last 1000 years. When Thomas Cahill wrote "How the Irish saved Civilization", who were they saving it from? See the Battle of Tours.

I think this guy is obviously looking for something that he can't find. I don't think he'll find what he needs in Islam any more than Catholicism. Religion just seems to be his latest crutch. He's obviously not comfortable with himself, since he's now adopted the unfashionable look of fundamentalist Islam. What a nut.

text: They may be reigning World and European Champions at Senior level and hold the European titles at Under-21 and U19 level, but England's record against them in recent years has been good and the U16s squad continued that good run this week with a win against their Spanish counterparts in Madrid. In fact, Spain have only beaten England once in the last two years, occurring in the semi-final of the European U19 Championship of 2010 in France when a team containing the likes of Sergio Canales, Oriol Romeu, Thiago Alcantara and Ruben Rochina beat Noel Blake's side by 3-1. There have been victories against Spain's Senior, Under-21 and U17 (twice) teams in that time and Wednesday's win for Kenny Swain's U16 side was the latest success. "It was a good result for us and the performance was good," admitted Swain, who also acts as Assistant Coach to John Peacock with the U17 squad. "It was a real international test and it's one that everyone was really looking forward to, because it's always a challenge when you're playing Spain. "The game was very even, but I thought we deserved it because we kept trying to win the game, particularly in the later stages. "We defended well and we didn't have too many problems throughout the game. We were always on the front foot and looking to score goals. "So it was a brave performance and they say 'fortune favours the brave', so it was one of those as the lads were brave enough to keep going for it." The results have also offered encouragement to The FA's Director Of Football Development Sir Trevor Brooking, who has been present at most of the fixtures over the last two years. "Spain have a way of playing which all of their national teams replicate in their different age groups, they keep moving quickly and passing the ball and they are very comfortable in that playing style," he noted. "I think one of the key areas from their game that we need to aspire to is the decision-making. Even if you have the technical skill base, you've still got to know what is the right pass to make and at present, Spain are as good as anyone in selecting the right pass to hurt the opposition. "But if you look at the transition that we're making ourselves, we have often played well against them in recent years and enjoyed some good results." The list of results that England have had against Spain at all levels since June 2009 is below. 2-0 to England's Under-21s at Euro Finals in Gothenburg on 18.6.09 2-1 to England's U17s in Euro Final in Vaduz on 30.5.10 3-1 to Spain's U19s in Euro Semi-Final in St-Lo on 27.7.10 2-1 to England's U17s in Euro Qualifiers in Mol on 31.3.11 1-1 draw for U19s in Euro Qualifiers in Nyon on 5.6.11 1-1 draw for U21s in Euro Finals in Herning on 12.6.11 1-0 to England's Seniors in Friendly at Wembley on 12.11.11 1-0 to England's U16s in Friendly in Madrid on 15.2.12 England's record in this period: P8 W5 D2 L1 F11 A7
