Meet the SuperTracker
By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine Zeratsky, R.D.
4 comments posted
In 2011 MyPyramid was toppled and replaced with MyPlate. MyPlate, the latest food guide from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), makes it easier to see at a glance what your meal should be — at least 50 percent vegetables and fruit, a little more than 25 percent grains (half of which should be whole grains), a little less than 25 percent lean protein, and a serving of low-fat dairy.
So is your plate in shape? How can you tell? Technology to the rescue.
The USDA recently launched SuperTracker — an interactive and personalized assistant. SuperTracker will help you:
- Compare your diet to MyPlate
- Identify goals for what to eat and how much to exercise
- Track your diet and physical activity over time
- Compare your diet and exercise efforts to recommended guidelines
Other nifty things you can do with SuperTracker include:
- See a simple or detailed analysis of your meals by food group or nutrients
- Get tips and support from a virtual coach
- Connect to your social networks to share your story
All of this can be found — and more — at ChooseMyPlate.gov. If you put in the information, you'll like the reports you get and you'll find them helpful. Start tracking your foods, your fitness and your health. It's almost like having your own dietitian.
Check it out and let me know what you think.

After watching "Weight of the Nation" on HBO. I took a look at the Super Tracker site. I've been using it for almost 3 weeks with 2 lbs lost. The site says I should eat 2000 calories a day and I know for me 1500 is better. I concentrate on fruits and vegetables and the other items I eat about 75% of what they suggest. This site was really an eye opener of all the "empty calories" I eat. I am making changes to eat fewer of them. I've used other sites but i really like this one. Sometimes you have to search the site for what you eat but you can usually find what you want or something similar. After you use the site you'll know how to work the food tracker. If you eat a tomato our of your garden use "tomato, raw" If you just put in the word tomato a lot of things come up. If you eat a frozen pizza, look at the serving size on the box and how many calories. Pick a similar pizza in the food tracker and adjust the size of serving to match calories on the box. Yes, some things may be off a little but you won't be off by thousands of calories. Getting the general idea of what you eat most important. I find the site is helping me log my food and exercise and I'm making better choices because of it.

I have been following the Mayo Clinic Pyramid Diet successfully for over a year and have lost 25 pounds and am still counting. The SuperTracker is good for actualy calorie count and for tracking specific food values, eg. potassium, etc. It does not offer much leeway in foods though so the sodium count is not always exact. I do not buy alot of prepared foods and the SuperTracker does not allow for "homemade" anything! I find the "Pyramid" is quicker and as I don't have to play around finding foods from lists, I can just manually add whatever it is I am eating.

The concept is excellent. But be VERY careful to know exactly what SuperTracker assumes is in the food you select. For example, if you select a cup of cooked white rice, it apparently assumes you added gobs of sodium when preparing it. It says 1 cup of cooked white, regular rice prepared without fat contains 577mg of sodium. But the actual rice, according to the UDSA's SR24 database, contains only 2mg of sodium. So SuperTracker assumes you added 575mg of sodium - over 1/3 of the amount allowed for a person with high blood pressure.

Wow! What a great site. I've been looking for a free site just like this to help me begin my weight loss program. The site calculates my calorie intake and exercise "out take" immediately so it helps me plan my day. Thanks USDA.

- "The owner of a restaurant wants to find out
- more about where his patrons are coming from.
- One day he decided to gather data about the distance
- in miles that people commuted to get to his restaurant.
- People reported the following distances traveled."
- This is our data right over here.
- "He wants to create a graph that helps him understand
- the spread of the distances and the median distance that people travel.
- What kind of a graph should he create?"
- And you can plot this data in many different types of graphs,
- but they tend to depict things in different ways.
- For example, a line graph shows a trend over time.
- He's not interested in a trend over time, so a line graph doesn't make sense.
- Or a line graph could be a trend of one variable with respect to another variable;
- it doesn't just have to be time.
- But he doesn't want to see a trend here.
- A bar graph is good when you're trying to bucket things,
- put things into buckets and see how those buckets are performing.
- Once again, that's not exactly what he wants to see.
- A pie graph, you want to see kind of how things make up a whole.
- That's not what he wants to see right over here.
- A stem and leaf plot does help with distributions a little bit,
- but it really doesn't tackle the median distance and the spread really, really well.
- So the one that does -- and especially when people talk about medians and spread --
- is a box-and-whiskers plot.
- I'll show you how to do it right now.
- Box-and-whiskers. And what a box-and-whiskers plot literally does is
- it shows the spread of the data, it splits it into quartiles
- (I'll talk about that in a second),
- and it also shows you where the median of the data actually is.
- And that's one of the things that the owner of the restaurant cares about.
- So whenever you're dealing with medians --
- And box-and-whiskers plots deal with medians --
- the first thing you want to do is order all the numbers.
- 'Cause a median is really the middle number when you order them all up.
- So let's order this; let's write it in order.
- So, first we have 1 (so get rid of that 1).
- Then we have one 2 right over here.
- And then we have another 2, right over there; that's all of our 2's.
- Then we have this 3 (that 3) and then we have that three;
- so those are two people who've traveled three miles to the restaurant.
- And let's see, do we have any 4's?
- We have one 4 right over there, and then we have another 4 right over there.
- And then, let's see, do we have any 5's?
- (Actually I just realized that I skipped one of the 1's. We have another 1 right over there.
- So let's write that 1 right over there. We actually had two 1's.)
- And then let's see. Do we have any 5's? We do not have any 5's over here.
- Do we have any 6's? We have one 6 right over here. Then we have no more 6's.
- Do we have any 7's? We have one 7 right over there.
- 8's? We have an 8 right over there; that's the only one.
- Let's see. Do we have any 9's? No nines.
- Any 10's? Yes, we have a 10.
- Do we have an 11? Yup. 11.
- Do we have any 12's? No 12's, no 13's.
- 14. And we have a 15.
- (People must like this restaurant; they're traveling a good bit.)
- And we have a 20, and then we have a 22.
- So I've ordered all the numbers. Let me make sure I haven't skipped or gotten some duplicates.
- So 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 people were surveyed,
- seventeen patrons of the restaurant.
- And we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17.
- Alright. It seems like I got all of them, and I've ordered them now.
- Now the median is the middle number.
- We just said that we had seventeen of these numbers. So we want the number --
- And since it's an odd number of numbers, the median actually will be one of these numbers.
- It's actually the middle number. It'll be the number where eight are larger and eight are smaller.
- So 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. It looks like this is our median. It will be the ninth number.
- And then you have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 that are larger.
- So eight are smaller than 6; eight are larger than 6.
- So 6 is the middle number.
- If we had an even number of numbers here,
- we had two middle numbers, then we would take the average of them.
- But when you have an odd number of data points, then you can just take the middle one.
- So this right over here is our median.
- And then when you do a box plot,
- what you want to do is you want to find the median of the set of numbers that are smaller than the median.
- And you also want want to find the median of the set of numbers that are larger than the median.
- And these are called the first quartile and the second quartile.
- Because when you do that, you split your data into four sections, or quartiles.
- "Quar-" you normally associate with four.
- So let's look at this set that's smaller than 6.
- So we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 numbers.
- So if you have eight data points, you're going to actually have two middle numbers.
- So, for example, you have these two right over here are the two middle numbers.
- Three less, three more. You can't just pick the 2,
- because if you just pick the 2, you would have three less and four more.
- And you can't just pick the 3, because then you'd have three more and four less.
- So these are our two middle numbers.
- So the median of this group right over here is 2.5.
- I averaged these two middle numbers.
- And then let's do it over here with this group. (I'll do it in blue.)
- So once again we have eight numbers, we're going to have two middles,
- and so it's going to be the third and the fourth number, which is 11 and 14.
- And if you average 11 and 14 --
- let's see 11+14 is 25, divided by 2 is 12.5.
- So this essentially divides the data into four sections.
- You have everything up to this first quartile -- so you have this first section,
- or this first median of the lower half of the data is 2.5.
- Then you have everything between 2.5 and 6.
- Then 6 to 12.5,
- and then everything more than 12.5.
- And so a box-and-whiskers plot is essentially a graphical depiction of this over here.
- So let's do that. I'm going to set up a number line.
- And let's say that this is 0.
- And let's say that this is 10,
- And this would be 20,
- And this would be 5 (a little bit cleaner than that).
- And this would be 15.
- 25 would be right around there.
- So first thing on the box and whiskers plot, you want to show the entire range of data.
- So our smallest data point starts at 1.
- So 1 is right about here. (This is 2-1/2, so 1 is right about here.)
- And then our largest data point is 22.
- 22 would sit right about there.
- And I'll even label it, although you often won't see it labeled like that.
- That's 1, and then that is 22.
- And the middle half of the data we do in the box.
- So the middle half is this quartile, and this quartile right over there.
- So the second quartile starts at 2.5. So 2.5 is right there.
- This is where we start our box, 2.5.
- And then our third quartile ends at 12.5.
- 12.5 is right over there.
- And then we can draw the box here.
- So the box shows where the middle half of our data is.
- Now I can draw these two arrows.
- So that's the box part.
- And then these two arrows are what you would call the whiskers,
- and that shows where all the other data is.
- It's really showing the spread of the data.
- And then the last thing we need to show is the actual median.
- And the median (I'll do it in purple) we already figured out is 6.
- So the median sits right about
- (so let's see, this is 5, this would be 7-1/2)
- 6 would be right over there.
- So with this one diagram, we've actually depicted all of this information,
- in terms of where is the median? The median is at 6; that is 6 right over there.
- Where is the middle half of the data? Well, it's between 2-1/2 and 12-1/2.
- And all of the data, the entire spread, for all of the customers,
- sits between -- and this is what the whiskers do for us --
- it sits between 1 and 22.
- And if you wanted to color-code it a little bit better, we could do that just 'cause it's fun.
- We could make ---
- So, this data right over here --
- and really, if you think about it, it's kind of inluding this data too --
- that's what this whisker is depicting.
- This data right over here (I'll do that in a different color.)
- is kind of the first half of the box,
- then you have your median in magenta,
- then this data right over here is the second part of the box.
- So that's all of this stuff, right over here.
- And then finally (let me pick a new color that I haven't used yet)
- this data is kind of represented by this part, by this whisker, right over here.
- Now there's one thing I want to leave you with.
- I use a method for this box-and-whisker diagram where for the two halves,
- I got rid of the median and I found the median of this part,
- and I found the median of that part.
- And that's the more typical method for box-and-whisker plots.
- Sometimes, when you find the median for the lower half and the upper half,
- some people will include this median in both sets when they calculate it.
- I just want you to know that's out there.
- But the way I did it is actually more the mainstream way.

Well, there were big boxes marked Amoroso's, so if he was using a different bread, they were using somebody else's boxes. Regardless of the baker, my evaluation of the bread stands: it was a bit too white-bready for me. But otherwise a very nice sandwich.Knowing Carmen, I seriously doubt that his rolls would come from Amoroso's. He used a little known bakery in South Jersey when he ran Rocco's Hoagies in the Bellevue Food Court. He is a serious hoagie roll fanatic.

It's difficult to go for anything other than the roast pork with greens and aged provolone, though cases can certainly be made for other sandwiches at DiNic's. My buddy Ralphie the Winemaker raves about Tommy's cold roast beef with horseradish, roasted sweet peppers and provolone, and the Italian-style brisket is no less a masterpiece than the Jewish-style brisket (ask for it with extra fat) at Hershel's across center court.
Messy likes his pulled pork with horseradish and provolone. When I asked Joe Nicolosi what he'd recommend, he offered long hots and provlone. It was an excellent combination, even if the surplus of seeds in the pepper added a texture I could do without (the extra heat from the seeds was just fine). The only crunch I want on that sandwich is from the burned bits of meat, which the sandwich-makers make sure are mixed in with the tender, succulent, pulled-to-order meat. Just don't expect a barbeque style pulled pork. This pig sandwich is thoroughly Italian; those who abhore garlic should stay away.
So, next time you're at DiNic's, break out of the ordinary. Try your pork pulled.

Messy of the Messy & Picky blog thinks the Italian pulled pork at DiNic's is the best sandwich around.Correction: It was Picky, not Messy, who waxed enthusiastically about the Italian pulled pork.

The addition of cheese steaks to Spataro's bill of fare earlier this year is partly responsible for the hike in average menu cost ($7 for a plain steak, iirc). Their version of the cheese steak represents the third and final entry in my RTM survey of this Philadelphia classic.
The best thing about Spataro's is the meat. Although it would take side-by-side comparisons to confirm this (I've spaced my tastings over the past five or six weeks), I thought their meat was the beefiest I've tried so far, when compared to By George and Carmen's. There was also a satisfactory taste of onions in my sandwich though I could have used a bit more. The bread was okay, the typical soft steak roll -- I'd like just a hint of crunch to the crust.
The main failing was the cheese: I couldn't taste it, let alone detect the cheesy, gooey mouth feel I want my cheese steak to convey. As best as I could determine, they used two thin slices of American, though provolone is also offered. Another failing is the unavailability of hot sauce.
Still, it's a fine representation of a cheese steak and you won't be disappointed when you crave this icon of our fair city's culinary heritage.
More About DiNic's Pulled Pork
One morning last week Joe Nicolosi offered me a taste of some of his pulled pork fresh out of the oven. Gotta say, while this sandwich is excellent eating any time of the day, it's better if you can get it fresh before the fat has a chance to re-congeal. It absolutely melted in the mouth, with textural contrast offered by the crunchy bits. As previously noted, don't confuse this version with what you're likely to find in North Carolina: the seasonings are Italian (with tons of garlic), not barbecue.

She Who Must Be Obeyed and I decided to lunch at Supper. She had the hot dog (see the hot dog topic for comments on that), I went for the pork belly reuben.
The sandwich, served open-faced on good Jewish rye (no, it didn't make it kosher) lathered with Thousand Islands dressing, nice slice of gelatinous, fatty belly (though not crispy as advertised on the menu), sauerkraut, gruyere and apple. When brought to the table, I thought all the "reubenesque" additives would overwhelm the pork, but they didn't. While the pork flavor didn't dominate, it was there and worked well, particularly with the kraut and apple, which are traditional pork accompaniments. The homemade "pastrami" flavored potato chips, thin, crispy and greasless, added a nice crunch to the plate.
In ordering, I was torn between the hot dog, the reuben and the lamb pastrami sandwich. What clinched my choice was the presence on the beer list of Fallen Apple, a cream ale brewed with fresh-pressed apple cider from Furthermore Beer of Spring Green, Wisconsin. (It's actually produced for Furthermore by a contract brewer, Sand Creek, up north in Black River Falls.) As I noted about the sandwich, apples and pork product are a natural combination (apples are picked and pork slaughtered at the same time of the year). Apple-flavored beer might not be for everyone, but it's worth trying when you've got the right food to go with it. While I wouldn't order it as a session beer, it was an excellent pairing for this lunch.

I recently couldn't resist their version of a Uraguayan Chivito, which is not on the regular menu right now, but I'm told it's a frequent special. It's kind of like a Chesesteak crossed with a Cubano visited by a muffuletta - or more accurately, all those things piled together. This one featured thin, tender slices of filet mignon, ham, bacon, Oaxacan cheese, a fried egg, olive salad and roasted peppers, all piled on a crusty long roll. It was a real challenge to get in my mouth, but with a little squeezing and squashing and stretching, I managed somehow. And wow, that is a delicious sandwich! It's a really nice collision of flavors, and despite the fact that it probably weighed about as much as the average SEPTA bus, I couldn't stop eating it until it was gone. Pretty good fries too, not that I could manage to eat many of those.
So, I took two lessons from this:
1 - we should eat at Alfa more often.
2 - we need more Chivitos in this town.

Still, Patten can't, or won't, say his hoagie beats John's or DiNic's -- yet. "Those guys have been doing this for decades upon decades," he said. "Let's see how I feel in 10 years."
'Nuff said.

...Most Americans think of the cheesesteak as Philly's signature sandwich. But there has been a slow realization around the country that the City of Brotherly Love also deserves praise for a sandwich that would never include Cheez Whiz. The roast pork hoagie taps into Philadelphia's Italian American roots. From Italy comes the thinly sliced meat, the shards of aged provolone and the broccoli rabe. From America comes the super-sized portion and the everything-is-better-on-a-bun portability. The result transcends either place: It's a balance of meaty richness, sharp cheese and spicy, bitter greens that is greater than the sum of its parts...
How long have we all been saying this? Nice to know someone finally heard us!!

Didn't take a photo, but was at Cajun Kate's on Friday, and their Brisket Po Boy can stand its ground vs. the Philly Cheesesteak or Roast Pork... the combination of the brisket's juices with the "fully dressed" liquids creates a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts...Joe had to twist my arm a few times - but he finally convinced me to try their brisket sandwich. Better than the pork sandwich? Probably not. But DiNic's brisket plus aged provolone is awfully good.

Hand-carved roasted turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mayo. Delicious. I didn't even mind the big piece of bone i found in there, I just figured it proved that the meat was carved from a real bird.

Posted 17 March 2011 - 03:36 PM
Anyone else think that there should be a section on how to order a steak in Philly? From personal experience, if you go up to the front of the line at Pat's or Gino's and if you don't know what you want, you get sent back to the end of said line. A simple section of the basics (wiz wit, wiz witout) would be cool, especially for the Philly locals that are tired of tourists taking 3 minutes to order a simple wiz wit, ya know?
probably not. The specific procedure for ordering a specific cheesesteak at a specific restaurant likely falls outside of the realm of what Wikipedia is designed for. See WP:NOT. Even though Gino's and Pat's are the most famous cheesesteak places, the quirks of each restaurant doesn't really belong in a general article on cheesesteaks.
I'm from Philadelphia, lived here my whole life, and I'd go with not mentioning it. Philly locals don't order like that, and I hate the image the tourism market paints of the whole thing.
...so, of course, my question is: is there really a local Philly cheesesteak ordering taxonomy, or is the whole "whiz wit" thing tourist BS? I must admit that last time I was at Pat's I did in fact order a "whiz wit" and they gave me what I was expecting. But I don't know how the locals in line were ordering theirs.

That said, I'd say the particular phrase "whiz wit" and/or "cheeze wit" is worthy of inclusion. It is indeed legit local vernacular, I hear people say it all the time who are clearly not tourists. It's understood everywhere, even if Pat's is the only place I've noticed with a sign posted that dictates the "proper" way to order with such stridency.
Perhaps more important, I've seen it used incorrectly in print quite often, it is sometimes misunderstood to mean with cheese, when the "wit" part actually means with onions. So "cheese wit" is a steak with cheese and onions. Depending on the place, that would get you either whiz or american cheese. "Whiz wit" is a popular disambiguation, as the wiki world would say.
I use the phrase "whiz wit," I find it an efficient way to order. But, like Holly, I'm an immigrant, I've only been here 30 years, so maybe both of us are still newbie rubes.

I don't think a detailed discussion of the language of ordering would be productive, the exact lexicon certainly varies a lot from place to place.
Agreed. Except it is important that visitors know to be sure to order their fries and drinks at the same time they order their cheesesteak.

I'd lean towards saying the only time I hear people ordering using particular words are at Pat's and Geno's. They are the only two places that I feel compelled to order in a different way than I normally would, and even then I barely do so.
When I want a cheesesteak, I normally go to Dalessandro's, and I order a "cheesesteak, American cheese, no onions". Sometimes I ask for sauce, most of the time I don't. I wouldn't go into Dalessandro's (or anywhere else for that matter) and ask for an "American pizza witout" like I would if I were at Pat's or Geno's. Although if I did order like that, I'm sure they would understand what I wanted. And like I said, even at Pat's and Geno's I've said "cheesesteak, American cheese, sauce, no onions" on more occasions than I can count. The cashier then relays that order to the grill guy as "American pizza witout". I haven't gotten laughed to the back of the line or anything like that. Either way works, but I suppose Pat's and Geno's shortened the vernacular since they're pumping out cheesesteak in an assembly line fashion.

I think I like Jim's Steaks the best, maybe Tony Luke's. Where's Delassandro's?

My favorite spot is John's roast pork, but they're hardly ever open when I want to go, and they're not in an especially convenient location, especially for visitors, so they're hard to recommend. I also like Tony Luke's, and while they're open more, sometimes, they're not open late enough... and they too are in a less-than-convenient location.
Dalessandro's is way off the beaten path, it's more of a neighborhood place, not a location you'd send a visitor to. And no offense to their supporters, but I just don't think it's a real destination kind of place - it's perfectly fine - I like their steaks well enough, but I feel like they're mostly distinguished by being generous with the meat. That's all well and good, but more is not always inherently better. I'd get one if I were out that way and hungry, but I personally wouldn't send someone out of their way for one.
And for the "wit" pronunciation, I wouldn't generalize too much from one guy - there's certainly a gradation of a range between with and wit. I certainly started out saying with, and I don't think I'm all the way to wit, but it's getting there.
Also it's hard to keep that "th" fricative after a dose of cheeze whiz, so a second steak is a whiz wit for sure...

BAHIA MALAGA, Colombia -- Stacked along one edge of the Bahía Málaga naval base is what authorities call "the museum" — a long row of impounded vehicles that chart the evolution of the drug trafficking industry. There are the lumbering fishing boats that used to run marijuana in the 1970s and 1980s, Miami Vice-era "go-fast" boats, and an entire fleet of manned and unmanned semisubmersibles.
But the crown jewel of the display, and the stuff of drug enforcement nightmares, is a fully functional narco-sub. Built in the jungle, the hulking blue submarine can carry eight tons of cocaine and is similar to the nation's own tactical sub, with one addition: This one has indoor plumbing. Discovered last year in the dense mangroves that make this region a smugglers' paradise, the submarine — technically a "snorkel sub" — can hit speeds of 12-15 knots and travel 8,000 miles. That's more than enough to make it to the coast of California and back, said Capt. Nelson Hernandez. Designed to travel 32 feet below water with only a small intake valve protruding, it would have been virtually undetectable if it were launched, he said.
"With this kind of technology we might see a huge flow of drugs, or guns or anything heading north," Hernandez said.
As the United States wages the war on drugs, this stretch of Colombia's Pacific coast is the Silicon Valley of narco-innovation. When the trafficking industry develops new maritime technology to stay ahead of the law, this is often where it appears first.
For years, smugglers have been using semi-submersibles, which glide just below the water's surface leaving no wake and a weak radar signature. Authorities began busting them in the late 1990s, but a local port manager in nearby Buenaventura recalls seeing the first one in the 1980s.
But full-fledged submarines are relatively new. Only three have been found in South America in recent years — two in Colombia and one in neighboring Ecuador. A fourth, much earlier, version was discovered in Colombia's capital in 2000.
In Senate testimony last year, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency's Chief of Intelligence Rodney Benson said the advent of "self-propelled fully submersible vessels… underscores the incredible lengths drug traffickers will take to move their product."
"Although these vessels are unlikely to supplant more traditional drug trafficking conveyances, analysis suggests that fully submersible vehicles carry large loads of cocaine and are extremely difficult to detect," he said.
About 60 percent of Colombia's submersible busts relied on intelligence sources and investigative work — not technology like radar, Hernandez said.
Authorities monitor charter flights into the region and track new moons and high tides to try to predict traffickers' moves. Smugglers are superstitious, so authorities keep tabs on the local brujas, or witches, for clues, he said.
"When does the bruja bring in her herbs? When is the bruja alone? When is the bruja at home? When does the bruja have guests?" Hernandez said. "All of these things are part of the analysis."
Authorities have impounded 23 semisubmersibles and detected 96 over the years. Countless others have been scuttled by traffickers to keep from being caught, Hernandez said.

By reason of said default the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, said sums being the following, to wit: $182,733.18 with interest thereon at the rate of 5.5 percent per annum beginning 12/01/10; plus late charges of $0.00 each month beginning 01/16/11 until paid; plus prior accrued late charges of $167.17; plus advances of $1,451.00; together with title expense, costs, trustee's fees and attorneys fees incurred herein by reason of said default; any further sums advanced by the beneficiary for the protection of the above described real property and its interest therein; and prepayment penalties/premiums, if applicable. WHEREFORE, notice hereby is given that the undersigned trustee will on July 9, 2012 at the hour of 10:00 o'clock, A.M. in accord with the standard of time established by ORS 187.110, at the following place: inside the main lobby of the Annex to the old Columbia County Courthouse, 230 Strand Street, in the City of St. Helens, County of Columbia, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the described real property which the grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by grantor of the trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or grantor's successors in interest acquired after the execution of the trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee. Notice is further given that for reinstatement or payoff quotes requested pursuant to ORS 86.757 and 86.759 must be timely communicated in a written request that complies with that statute addressed to the trustee's "Urgent Request Desk" either by personal delivery to the trustee's physical offices (call for address) or by first class, certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the trustee's post office box address set forth in this notice.

Comments about Osprey Raptor 14 Hydration Pack - 100 fl. oz. - 2012 Closeout:
There is nothing but awesome quality out of this Osprey Raptor 14 pack. I couldn't believe the quality of the seams and the construction when I got it and compared it with my other small packs that I used for hikes and mountain biking. The compartments in this pack are awesome - 1 large one, and one smaller one, as well as the bladder area if you don't use the hydration bladder. This pack is just the perfect size for an all day bike trip or an all day hiking trip.
The are a couple of minor negatives about the Raptor 14, though. The first is that the hydration bladder has a fixed tube. Guess if you really want to add an inline filter, you'd have to cut the tube and fit in some quick release ends. Washing the tube might be a problem if you want to wash out everything separately. Or, you can buy a better hydration bladder like the Geigerrig bladder system. I plan to buy a Geigerrig bladder and put it in the Raptor 14 later. Second minor negative is the hip belt. The thumb straps have a plastic coupler fixed to the strap that is used for tightening the hip belt. The plastic coupler is then hooked onto the main strap and can freely slide along the hip belt strap. So, trying to pull the hip belt tight against the waist through the thumb loop by pulling forward doesn't do much. I found out that pulling on the sides of the straps works well. And to loosen the hip belt, you can tug back on the side buckles or pull the thumb loops towards the back. I just discovered that you can take the plastic coupler off the main strap or take it out altogether if you don't like the thumb strap coupled together with the hip belt strap. By doing that, the thumb straps will hang loose and fling around. Also the belt pockets are a bit small and no zipper (guess they added the zippers in the newer version). The belt also sits a bit high, so it doesn't actually rest on the hips. That's not an issue if you're riding the bike.
Overall, I love this pack over all other hydration packs that I have owned. I got the red color one and it looks awesome, better than the web pictures I've seen. Again, no one can beat the quality of an Osprey pack. I own quite a few other bigger Osprey packs and all of them are just quality and comfort.

I bought the Camelbak M.U.L.E. to compare side by side with this Osprey. It took me less than 5 minutes to pick the Osprey much better design. The magnetic hold on the mouth piece and the Nalgene reservoir was enough. You will not be disappointed.

Comments about Osprey Raptor 14 Hydration Pack - 100 fl. oz. - 2012 Closeout:
The construction is great and seems very sturdy even though i did mention the shoulder straps being a bit thin. They are purposely made this way to breathe and keep you from sweating. Being a day pack, this will typically not be packed very heavy anyway. However I have packed it full of heavy groceries and it still carries very well and stays well centered on my back. I decided to purchase this pack after owning an Osprey Aether 70 and trying on many smaller packs in the store. (Was primarily looking for a mountain biking pack) Osprey makes good quality packs with well thought out designs. I have been mainly using for mountain biking and snowboarding (w/o the hydration bladder obviously on the snow). I like the water bottle holders and compression straps. Best part is that it fits close to the body and stays centered so that i don't even know its there while on the trails. Large enough for small tools, extra water bottles, snacks, spare tubes/parts etc, even an extra layer. Bike helmet holder is a nice extra feature too! In response to the one other review below me, the water bladder hose can be turned to an "off" position to prevent leaks. Another important point to mention is the bladder hose snaps to a magnet on the shoulder strap to provide easy usage while on the go. This magnet warned not to wear the pack if you have a pacemaker/defibralator, as this magnet is very strong and could set it off. Even though it can be removed, the bladder hose still contains the other half of the magnet and therefore i would look into another option that does not contain the magnet feature. I usually don't bother to post reviews but this product deserves it! Bottom line, this pack rules.

Comments about Osprey Raptor 14 Hydration Pack - 100 fl. oz. - 2012 Closeout:
This is a good piece of equipment that is well made and well designed. I bite valve works well, although if you throw the pack in the back or your truck and other gear presses on top of the valve, it will leak a bit. I learned the hard way. Overall, a great piece that I would recommend.

University of New Hampshire School of Law
In March 2010 University of New Hampshire President Mark W. Huddleston and Franklin Pierce Law Center President John D. Hutson announced that the two institutions approved an affiliation agreement. Now that the agreement is in effect, Franklin Pierce Law Center has become the University of New Hampshire School of Law.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the Franklin Pierce Law Center (Pierce Law) affiliate with the University of New Hampshire (UNH)?
Affiliation with a flagship research university provides an opportunity to strengthen Franklin Pierce Law Center's programs and raise its stature both nationally and internationally. Franklin Pierce Law Center, for example, has one of the top intellectual property law programs in the world, which will benefit from, among other things, the strength of UNH's science and engineering and business colleges. At the same time, Franklin Pierce Law Center's expertise in intellectual property and technology commercialization will help UNH continue to expand its efforts to strengthen its research programs and commercialize the products of its science and engineering labs, thereby improving UNH's position as a engine for economic growth in New Hampshire. The state benefits when new jobs are created as a result of this new synergy.
How will the affiliation benefit students at both institutions?
One of what will be many examples is the Exchange Agreement that allows graduate degree students from UNH and JD and LLM or interdisciplinary masters students from the UNH School of Law, who are in good academic and financial standing at each institution, to enroll for graduate/law coursework and to earn academic credits at the other institution.
When is the affiliation effective?
The affiliation is effective Aug. 30, 2010.
Why is Franklin Pierce Law Center changing its name?
In order to more accurately reflect the status of the law school as an affiliate of UNH, it will be known as the University of New Hampshire School of Law. Franklin Pierce Law Center's long-standing national and international reputation in intellectual property will be maintained and strengthened by establishing the Franklin Pierce Center for Intellectual Property at UNH School of Law. The Law School will continue to invest in, and expand, its intellectual property program through this newly established Intellectual Property Center.
Is the Law School moving to Durham?
The UNH School of Law is staying in Concord for the foreseeable future. Both institutions agree that the current location in the state's capital has many advantages. The ultimate location of the law school is one of many issues that will be reviewed by two integration committees – academic and administrative – that will make recommendations for how best to maximize the benefits of the two institutions coming together.
What do the integration committees do?
The academic and administrative integration committees are established as part of the affiliation agreement. The integration committees are comprised of personnel from both institutions. They are responsible for identifying and analyzing potential integration and collaboration opportunities and issues. The committees report and make recommendations to the Law School board and leaders of each institution.
How will the UNH School of Law be governed under the agreement?
During the period of affiliation, the UNH School of Law will be governed by a board of 30 trustees as well as the presidents and chief financial officers of both institutions. The composition of the board will change each year, shifting from a Franklin Pierce Law Center majority to an equal balance of UNH-appointed trustees and Law School-appointed trustees by July 1, 2014. A merger vote can occur as early as January 1, 2013. If a merger is approved, the board will take on an advisory role and the UNH School of Law will fall under the UNH governance structure.
What is the process for a merger to be approved?
The agreement allows for a merger vote to take place not earlier than Jan. 1, 2013, upon the request of five or more UNH School of Law trustees, and would require approval by a two-thirds majority vote until 2015. Thereafter, a merger could be approved by a majority vote of the trustees.
Will current Pierce Law students graduate from Franklin Pierce Law Center or the UNH School of Law?
The Law School's class of 2011 will be the first class to graduate under the name of the UNH School of Law.
Will the UNH School of Law's tuition change? Will the school have in- and out-of-state rates like UNH?
The UNH School of Law Board of Trustees approves tuition rates for the UNH School of Law and has recently approved that beginning in the fall of 2011, tuition waivers of $4,000 will be available for two different categories of students: 1) "Qualified" New Hampshire residents*, and 2) Students currently enrolled full time at UNH in an undergraduate or graduate degree program at the time of application submittal. A student who is both a qualified New Hampshire resident and enrolled at UNH will get a tuition waiver of $8,000. This policy reflects the Law School's commitment to not only UNH students, but also to its state's residents. Conventional financial aid for merit, diversity, and need is also available for qualifying students in addition to the waivers. Admissions criteria remain the same for all applicants.
*A qualified New Hampshire resident is someone who has been legally domiciled in New Hampshire continuously for at least twelve months immediately prior to registering for the term for which NH residency status is claimed. Nonresident undergraduate students at the University of New Hampshire will be considered nonresident students for the purpose of qualifying for the NH resident waiver.
Will faculty and staff become university employees?
During the affiliation period, faculty and staff will be employees of the UNH School of Law. If and when a merger occurs, faculty and staff will become University System of New Hampshire employees.
Will there be tuition discounts for faculty/staff and their dependents?
The integration committees will be making recommendations on this issue, bearing in mind the expected interest, on behalf of both the UNH School of Law and UNH employees, in using this benefit. At this time there is no tuition discount.
Will alumni receive new diplomas with the "University of New Hampshire School of Law" name?
This question is still under consideration.
Will the affiliation, and potential merger, cost either institution financially?
The affiliation agreement calls for no exchange of funds between the institutions. There are likely to be situations where the institutions mutually agree to invest in certain activities that benefit the affiliation. An example is the development of a joint degree. In addition, the Law School will continue to abide by the American Bar Association requirement that require all funds received by a law school be allocated for the operation of the law school.
What role will UNH play in the upcoming dean search?
The President of UNH will be consulted by the Dean's Search committee and must approve the committee's recommended candidate. Additionally, a representative of President Huddleston serves on the search committee.
Will class sizes at the UNH School of Law change?
There are no immediate plans to increase (or decrease) the number of admitted students. There will be an emphasis on creating new programs that take advantage of the synergies between the two institutions.
