The Maroon Vol. XXXVIII Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, March 2, 1962 No. 17 Cordaro, three coeds held in moot narcotic caper By LUCIEN SALVANT Mild-mannered J. B. Cordaro, A&S junior, was arrested Tuesday in the Loyola cafeteria for having narcotics in his possession and for having burglarized a college pharmacy safe to get them. Plainclothesmen also nabbed three coeds, one of whom was found with narcotics, and held them as material witnesses. They were identified as Barbara Klees, Zelda Brown and Kim Monroe. No further identification was available. Miss Klees was approached in the cafe by plainclothesmen Eddie Sapir and Sandy Krasnoff who showed police identification cards, then searched her purse where they found a box of pills later proved to be narcotics. The caper will set the case for the annual moot court competition between the St. Thomas More Law club and Delta Theta Phi law fraternity which is sponsored by the Loyola Student Bar association. Police said that Cordaro had been under surveillance for some weeks, and that they received a tip that he would break into the pharmacy safe. • BUT, IT WAS COUGH SYRUP "I have this cold, see," said Cordaro. "So I went over to pharmacy school to see a friend and get some remedy. I saw p. bottle on a chair and thought it was cough syrup, so I took it. And it wasn't locked up like them officers say." The contents of the bottle later proved to be paregoric, not cough syrup. Police alleged that Cordaro, a known narcotic addict, broke into a safe in pharmacy school and took the bottle of paregoric and a box of codeine sulfate. He then passed the codeine tablets to Miss Klees in the quadrangle and proceeded to the law school library where he poured the contents of the bottle into another bottle marked "Neo-Synephrine," a hydrochloride. • LIBRARY SEARCHED A quick search of the library turned up the original bottle which was marked "Paregoric," a slight form of narcotic. Cordaro says that he has a witness to prove that he did not steal the pint bottle. However, there is a conflicting witness in pharmacy school who says that the narcotics were definitely locked up. The witnesses were unidentified. Miss Klees, who claimed she was an employe of the cafe like Cordaro, had first given an alias of Sally Meyer. She said that she didn't know what Cordaro gave her in the package in the quadrangle. "It was just a box to me," she said, then clammed Off to jail . . . Being led off to jail by officer Eddie Sapir on suspicion of possession of narcotics are J. B. Cordaro and Barbara Klees. up and said that she wouldn't say anything else until she could consult her attorney. Arresting officers Sapir and Krasnoff said that they had a warrant for Cordaro's arrest and were waiting for him to make his move. About noon Tuesday, Cordaro showed up in the cafeteria where he is a cashier. • ARREST MADE AND DOPE FOUND "It all happened so fast," said cashier Mrs. Elenor Coker. "All of a sudden these two men who identified themselves as police officers grabbed J. B. (Cordaro) and said 'Alright, we know you Volunteer tells duties of SC It is the duty of the Student Council to foster social responsibility among the students on campus. This is the belief of Barbara Boggs, Extension Volunteer staff member, who addressed the Council at its Tuesday meeting this week. Miss Boggs and the Rev. John J. Sullivan, S.J., national director of the program have have been visiting Catholic universities throughout the nation since the beginning of the academic year. Father Sullivan was also scheduled to speak before the Council but was unable to keep the appoint m ent. Speaking on Student Council responsibility rather than the Extension program, Miss Boggs explained that she thought this topic more appropriate since she was scheduled to speak on the lay volunteer program later that evening before campus groups. Having experience with Student government (she was on the Student Council at Sacred Heart university in Manhattenville), the extension volunteer told the Council that her uncle, the Rev. Robert L. Boggs, S.J., Council moderator, had suggested that she speak about Student Council function. "It is the duty of student government in Catholic colleges to foster social responsibility in the student community, Miss Boggs stated. "If the student arovernmentPhi Beta inducts five new members Five new members were inducted into Phi Beta, speech and music fraternity, last Sunday m ceremonies at the home of Rita Cabes, 1016 Aluro in Metairie, announced Sandra McDougal, president. The new members are Carolyn Bass, Cindy Lee, and Suzanne Saucier, music freshmen; Ruth Falcon, music sophomore; and Linda Musmeci, arts and science junior. To become a member of Phi Beta a student must major in either music, speech or radio-tv and must maintain an overall B average. A nominee for membership must audition before the members and must have attended Loyola for at least one semester. March move set for press office Tom Preston, business manager for the university, announced that the press and duplicating office will move to a new location adjacent to Biever hall on March 7. The present press office will be torn down to make room for the central heating and air conditioning plant. Mr. Preston said that the large equipment is now being moved, and he expects the office to function as usual during the entire operation. The office's future location, which has been completely renovated, was once used as a lounge and was then converted into the athletic office when the old gym was being torn down. Later on it was used as The Maroon office. This building will be quite an improvement over the one his office is now using, Mr. Preston said. ROTC rifle squad ready for Mardi Gras shoot-out Thirty-eight out-of-town teams will be on campus today and tomorrow for the fifth annual Mardi Gras rifle matches sponsored by the ROTC rifle team. The two-day match will be fired on the Tulane Army and Navy ROTC rifle ranges, along with the Loyola range in back of the fieldhouse. Those teams from out-of-town will be quartered for the most part in the fieldhouse. The U. S. Army has provided for the bunk beds that are currently set up in the fieldhouse. This year there are 41 teams entered in the two-day event, as compared with 37 last year. • NO. 1 TEAM Returning this year will be the University of West Virginia. Last year West Virginia was rated as the top team in the nation, and this year they are out to retain their top rating. Another team that should place near the top in the competition is the Army ROTC squad from Oklahoma State university. Last year they battled West Virginia for the Mardi Gras title. The Virginians took the title last year hitting 3,860 bull's-eyes out of a possible 4,000. • TOP CONTENDERS The teams that will give Loyola tough competition, along with those previously mentioned, are the University of Arkansas, Arlington State, Ouachita Baptist and McNeese State. Last year Loyola finished 12th in the tourney. The Pack sharpshooters recorded 3,702 bull's- C eyes. i Top man for the Pack is Bryan '• Torres who has been averaging 385 out of 400 this year. Two 1 years ago Torres was rated as the C sixth best "small bore" rifleman I in the country. ' Other members of the ROTC « team that will represent Loyola in the matches are Alex Ortolano, i Don Vaccaro, Andrew Dawson, L. ' L. Laga r d e, and GrandviHe D (Tony) Morse. All are lettermen ] from last year's team except Vaccaro, who is a freshman. I In the sights of an ROTC rifleman No greater look of intense concentration on his target could be found in a soldier in the heat of a rifle match. This determination will stand Alex Ortolano, business administration junior, and an equally talented ROTC rifle team in good stead when they compete at the annual Mardi Gras rifle match today and tomorrow against 32 teams. The competition will be held on the Tulane and Loyola campuses. Mandate issued against interview By GWEN SAN MARCO Student Council hits Maroon A mandate requesting that The Maroon refrain from publishing an interview story on investigation committee chief Stewart Lagarde was issued by the Student Council as a result of the group's discussion at the Tuesday meeting this week. Lagarde read a list of questions asked him by a Maroon reporter to the Council. He* accused The Maroon of attempting a smear campaign against him. He claimed that the questions asked were unethical. Charging that the questions were "loaded" and that he was "trapped" into the interview, Lagarde proposed that the Council publicly censure The Maroon. Larry McNamara, law school cil appointed Mr. Lagarde as investigation committee chairman, I feel that it is only right that the Council support Mr. Lagarde." Next a discussion followed in which the Council members tried to determine what were to be the exact conditions of the public censure.Poochie Nicholson, A&S junior representative, objected to the paper'spaper's action and said that the Council had "gone out of its way to be nice to The Maroon." Nicholson said, "We have invited The Maroon to come to a Council meeting and discuss with us the paper's problems and perhaps from this discussion help The Maroon." He also cited that The Maroon had refused to provide information for a questionnaire distributed by the Charter committee.Bert Harris, A&S representative, said, "I agree that the questions were in bad taste and that some form of public censure should be made by the Council." Open house success for pharmacy school Demonstrating the preparation of a compound for his wife, a visitor at the college of pharmacy's open house program is H. Richard Leverette, pharmacy freshman. The open house was one of several projects of the college planned to celebrate the Golden Anniversary of the university. Annual event Because of the success of the recent open house program in the college of pharmacy, the college is planning to make open house an annual event, Dr. Edward J. Ireland, dean of the college said. The Very Rev. Andrew C. Smith, president of the university, praised the college for being the first college to adopt this policy. •]■ —■ "It is the best to reveal to parents and friends exactly what pharmacy does. We coine and just be ourselves," Father Smith said. The open house program was held to celebrate Loyola's fiftieth anniversary. Dr. Ireland introduced the pharmacy instructors and special guests to the parents, students and friends who attended. A display of several products, crude drugs and various impliments used by the pharmacist was also presented in the freshman laboratory. Large posters showing the various steps in the process of the extraction of the active constituents of crude drugs accompanied the presentation in the organic pharmaceutical chemistry laboratory.Exhibits portraying the various types of emulsions and the process of putting ointments in tubes was demonstrated by the pharmacy students. The flow of blood through the frog was illustrated in the pharmacology lab. The manufacturing rooms, which manufacture drugs on a small scale were also open for inspection., A tablet machine, which produces 90 tablets a minute was demonstrated for the visitors.The Rev. Louis A. Poche, S.J., said, "Loyola is truly proud of its pioducts—the men and women that graduate." Upon completion of the tour, refreshments were served to the guests with the members of Kappa Epsilon, national pharmaceutical sorority. Other pharmacy projects commemorating the anniversary include a two-day seminar for graduate pharmacists in March, a special issue of the pharmacy Journal in April and a radio play in May.

On Friday, July 19 the House of Representatives passed their version of the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), HR 5, the Student Success Act, by a vote of 221 to 207. No Democrats voted for final passage and twelve Republicans voted in opposition.
HR 5 reflects a set of ideas about federal involvement in elementary and secondary education that has few people in the middle. The key idea behind the Act is that the federal government has too much control over education. The supporters of this bill want state and local officials making decisions on what should be done to improve schools and how it should be done. They did not like, for example that the existing version of ESEA, No Child Left Behind (NCLB), required all schools to follow federal accountability rules even if they were not receiving federal funds. This accountability system included a highly prescriptive approach to how schools would be organized and managed if they failed to make adequate yearly progress (AYP).
In addition, the sponsors of HR 5 did not like the requirements put on states that to receive federal funds and the process to be relieved of the AYP requirements designed by the Obama Administration in their waiver process.The waiver process allows the secretary of education to suspend the requirements of NCLB in trade for the state agreeing to a set of requirements. The House Republicans believed that the secretary of education overstepped his authority by putting these conditions on the waiver requirements. The waiver requirements included: adoption of college- and career-ready standards, teacher and principal evaluation standards that include use of student achievement data, and other requirements.
Underserved Students and Title I
Those in opposition of HR 5 cited that the measure changed the fundamental nature of the federal role in elementary and secondary education by shifting away from funding programs for children who are not performing academically and who are living in areas with a high concentration of poverty, children whose home language is not English, and students who are disabled. HR 5, for example, removes the requirement for maintenance of effort for Title I and shifts the requirement that federal funding is in addition to state and local funding. Plus, the requirement that funds be targeted to language minority students is eroded.
The LEARN Act
The IRA-supported LEARN Act (Literacy for Every American, Result for the Nation) was included in the Democratic substitute to HR 5. This complete substitute failed on a partisan vote. Literacy was explicitly included as one of the areas that would be funded for state and local educators to use for literacy professional development.
The next step in the process is to wait for the Senate to take up its version of the reauthorization, S. 1094, the Strengthening America's School Act. The Senate committee-passed bill contains the language of the LEARN Act and provides funding for literacy professional development. The expectation is that this measure will be on the Senate floor as early as late September. Once that process is complete, the two bills will need to go to a House-Senate committee to structure a compromise agreeable to both chambers.
The process still has a long way to go before there is a new ESEA. You can read the secretary of education's response to the vote on the ED.gov website. Join the conversation about this and other legislative actions on Twitter at @rlongliteracy.

Gulf War Illnesses:
DOD's Conclusions About U.S. Troops' Exposure Cannot Be Adequately Supported
GAO-04-821T, Jun 1, 2004

Since the end of the Gulf War in 1991, many of the approximately 700,000 U.S. veterans have experienced undiagnosed illnesses. They attribute these illnesses to exposure to chemical warfare (CW) agents in plumes--clouds released from bombing of Iraqi sites. But in 2000, the Department of Defense (DOD) estimated that of the 700,000 veterans, 101,752 troops were potentially exposed. GAO was asked to evaluate the validity of DOD, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), and British Ministry of Defense (MOD) conclusions about troops' exposure.
DOD's and MOD's conclusion about troops' exposure to CW agents, based on DOD and CIA plume modeling, cannot be adequately supported. The models were not fully developed for analyzing long-range dispersion of CW agents as an environmental hazard. The modeling assumptions as to source term data--quantity and purity of the agent--were inaccurate because they were uncertain, incomplete, and nonvalidated. The plume heights used in the modeling were underestimated and so were the hazard area. Postwar field testing used to estimate the source term did not realistically simulate the actual conditions of bombings or demolitions. Finally, the results of all models--DOD and non-DOD models--showed wide divergences as to the plume size and path. DOD's and VA's conclusion about no association between exposure to CW agents and rates of hospitalization and mortality, based on two epidemiological studies conducted and funded by DOD and VA, also cannot be adequately supported because of study weaknesses. In both studies, flawed criteria--DOD's plume model and DOD's estimation of potentially exposed troops based on this model--were used to determine exposure. This may have resulted in large-scale misclassification. Troops under the path of the plume were classified as exposed; those not under the path, as nonexposed. But troops classified as not exposed under one DOD model could be classified as exposed under another DOD model. Under non-DOD models, however, a larger number of troops could be classified as exposed. Finally, as an outcome measure, hospitalization rate failed to capture the types of chronic illnesses that Gulf War veterans report but that typically do not lead to hospitalization.

Question by April S. 52 · Nov 18 '11 at 12:59 AM · eating
What is the proper or best way to eat? How big of a bite should we take, how many times do we chew, how do you breathe while you're chewing/eating, when do you swallow (that's what she said--sorry for the immaturity), should you drink liquids before/during/after a meal, should you eat raw foods before cooked foods, etc.

Answer by smartcookie 1845 · Nov 18 '11 at 02:03 AM
i recommend starting with foods that start with vowels. this includes your oils, avocados, artichokes, oysters, eggs, and of course, oregano. you should cut each food into cubes of 1cm per side. using a food-grade tape measure, take the length, width, and height of your grass-fed steak. notice that "grass-fed steak" doesn't start with a-e-i-o-u or even -y-. but, that's ok. you are going to build a steak tower. for instance, if you have a steak that is 7cm3, then you cut it into exactly 7 equal pieces and pile them on top of each other piece by piece. use a small dish for this. it is important to stack your food as this prevents oxidation by reducing the surface area that is exposed to surrounding air. you can sprinkle supplements on the steak, oil of oregano as this prevents the need for tower making by preventing oxidation (which is sometimes worrisome to onlookers when in public, or in a work environment).
after eating, digestion rituals call for standing on your head as many believe that blood rushing to the head prevents postprandial insulin resistance. sip water every 3 bites to ensure even cortisol levels throughout the meal.
this protocol has been sited extensively in the online version of human epigenetics weekly.
Answer by Canis Minor 4029 · Nov 18 '11 at 02:50 AM
I'm working on just eating mindfully. For various reasons, as soon as I left home I let myself eat in front of the TV, the computer, or while reading a book, driving a car. I still do sometimes.
But a practice of mindfulness around food has grown sort of naturally from a few years of eating Paleo, as if it wasn't enough to make all these hopefully science-based intellectual decisions around my food choices, but that it's also important to me to focus on the eating experience itself. When I can manage it, I find I eat more slowly, I appreciate my food more, I'm more aware of when I'm really and truly done eating and I stop when I'm no longer hungry. It helps me not only pay attention to portion sizes and matters of appetite, but I've also developed an awareness of some immediate effects of food on my energy levels and that elusive sense of how foods make me feel. Some effects of food we all feel an hour, a day, sometimes a week later, depending on how catastrophic our choices or how "deranged" our metabolism might be. But there's a more immediate (though sometimes subtle) reaction to foods that I easily miss when I eat thoughtlessly.
That said, it's not an obsessive practice. I just don't eat very much any more and like to enjoy what I do eat, when I eat it.
Answer by Nutritionator 5322 · Nov 18 '11 at 03:14 AM
Take a bite sized bite, chew until you can swallow, breath when you need to breath, swallow when you can fit the food down your throat without choking, drink something if you're thirsty, eat whatever's on your plate and STOP THINKING SO HARD ABOUT THIS STUFF.
But for reals, it's just food, you're gonna drive yourself crazy thinking about stuff like that.
Answer by Nance 197 · Nov 18 '11 at 01:20 AM
What triggered your question?
It would help to know who "she" is, but in general it's always good to take a bite you can easily handle in your mouth, chew thoroughly and swallow. Drink only to moisten your mouth; it's felt that drinking a lot with your meal can dilute your stomach acid and delay/impede digestion.
Not sure what you're really looking for--more details would help.
Answer by Chris Antenucci 3370 · Nov 18 '11 at 05:35 AM
Chew your food thoroughly, but I wouldn't advise you to count the number of times you chew it, who could enjoy eating that way? The more you chew the more it's broken down due to the secretion of amylase in the saliva and the easier it is to digest. Don't drink much water with meals since it dilutes the hydrochloric acid you need to digest proteins which you'll be doing a lot of if you're on the paleo diet. Find a relaxed environment and setting while you eat and don't do anything stressful since stress raises cortisol levels, which impairs digestion since it sends blood to your brain and muscles and away from your digestive system. You'll notice people complaining of indigestion when they're eating under stress. Don't eat the way most Americans do, drinking soda or juice with meals, talking nonstop, not chewing, or eating on the run. We'd be a lot better off imitating traditional cultures who eat together but take time to eat peacefully and really enjoy their food. Some people think you should give no thought to eating, while others think you should get it down to a science. The truth, however, often lies somewhere in the middle of two extremes, as it does in this case.
Answer by raydawg 17940 · Dec 27 '11 at 12:50 PM
It's not a crazy question, rather, it's genius to think different, and question things that we think we all know, when we've rarely stopped to ask why.
The short answer is the obvious one: take your time, chew your food well, relax after eating.
The long answer is if you chew thoroughly, you'll more easily digest your food. If you're stressed and rushing after you finish your meal, you'll release cortisol which turns off digestion in your gut (or at least make it less of a priority) as your body gets ready to run away from the tigers it thinks caused the stress response, so it puts all its energy into escape. This is why eating on the run is a bad idea.
If you're not starving and are rushed, or need to concentrate on a problem, project, etc. you're better of skipping a meal and eating later when you've got the time to relax. Maybe get some calories from coconut oil in some coffee/hot chocolate instead until you can sit down for a meal.
If you're rushed, you won't chew thoroughly which will make your stomach's job that much harder, and you'll tend to eat a lot more than you normally would. But since it's not broken down properly, it will be much more difficult to digest. Add in the stress response, and you've got a recipe for "Sits in my stomach like a brick for hours."
There's a Robb Wolf podcast episode where he's quoting someone with "It's a mouth, not a vacuum cleaner." -- And that's what HE said (drum roll) :-D
The idea of what to eat first is probably propagated, or at least hijacked by the vegan myth that meat rots in our guts for weeks at time, while veggies are quickly digested. Like "Meatless Mondays" this is an idea best reserved for the trash can. I say we counter it with "Meat Only Mondays."
Unlike meat, which is easily digested by the stomach, vegetable fibers can only be broken down by gut bacteria, and thus cause flatulence. Hence, we traded raw vegetarianism, large stomachs, large jaws, and small brains for cooking, hunting animals, smaller jaws, and larger brains. Since we do have smaller jaws than say, gorillas, we need to chew longer - at least the carbs.
Googling for "why eat protein first" returns a few raw food diet links saying you shouldn't eat them together, or eat protein first, but with no studies or references to back them up. These say protein requires acid to break down, while carbs require amylase, which works better in a more alkaline environment (hence, even more of a reason to chew well so saliva has a chance to kick start digestion of carbs).
The rest of the stuff Google throws is from workout forums and seems to be the same info rehashed in "I hear that" format, the same way that you might find "I hear the difference between like and love, is spit v. swallow." :-D
Thank you, thank you! I'll be here all week. Please remember to tip the wait-staff, and have a great night!

All of this focus on trivial matters is counterproductive to your health. Just eat good, nutrient rich foods, exercise a little, and call it a day.

All for the mindful eating but also try eating with your non-dominant hand: http://bps-research-digest.blogspot.com/2011/09/want-to-eat-less-try-using-your-non.html

Definición de sharia in Inglés
Pronunciación: /ʃəˈriːə/
(also shariah or shariat /ʃəˈriːət/)
- Islamic canonical law based on the teachings of the Koran and the traditions of the Prophet (Hadith and Sunna), prescribing both religious and secular duties and sometimes retributive penalties for lawbreaking. It has generally been supplemented by legislation adapted to the conditions of the day, though the manner in which it should be applied in modern states is a subject of dispute between Muslim traditionalists and reformists.
from Arabic šarī'a; the variant shariat from Urdu and Persian

Tigers Knock off 18th-ranked Majors to Complete SCAC Sweep
January 27, 2008
January 27, 2008, Greencastle, Ind. - DePauw trailed by as many as nine in the first half before gaining the lead late in the half and extended the margin to as many as 16 on the way to a 90-83 Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference win over 18th-ranked Millsaps.
DePauw improved to 14-4 overall and 6-2 in the SCAC, while the Majors dropped to 15-3 overall and 7-2 in conference play.
The Majors jumped out to an 8-2 lead after hitting their first four shots in the opening 1:20 and led by as many as nine on a couple of occasions with the last coming at 24-15 after Lorenzo Bailey hit two free throws with 10:23 remaining.
Ryan Werntz knocked down a three before Stephen Schott added a pair of layups. Tom Callen's bucket tied the game while Schott's free throw with 6:43 left capped a 10-0 run and gave DePauw a 25-24 edge. The Tigers led at the break, 33-32.
Millsaps briefly took the lead at the start of the second half, but DePauw later scored 12 straight to take a 48-36 lead with 16:11 left. The Majors closed the gap back to 58-50, but threes by Steve Lemasters and Mike Moore sandwiched a David Gray tip-in and gave DePauw a 66-50 advantage with 9:08 remaining.
DePauw closed the game by connecting on 12 of 15 free throws over the final three minutes and secured the win.
Moore paced DePauw with 24 points and five assists, while Lemasters notched 16 off the bench. Tony James followed with 13 and Schott scored 12. Brian Oilar matched a career high with 14 rebounds including 11 in the first half.
Bailey paced Millsaps with 25 points, while Edrick Mongomery added 22 and grabbed nine rebounds along with four blocked shots. Rodney Rogan followed with 16 points and a team-high four assists.
The Tigers shot just over 50 percent for the game including 56.7 percent in the second half, while Millsaps connected on 42.5 percent for the contest.
DePauw travels to Southwestern on Friday, February 1, for an 8 p.m. CST contest.

Compact portable sound reinforcement speaker for live sound, speech, playback, DJ,A/V, and institutional venues.
The Electro-Voice Sx100+ is a 200-watt, 12" two-way, high efficiency, constant-directivity portable speaker system. Through the extensive use of computer-aided design and modeling, Electro-Voice engineers have developed a state-of-the-art professional loudspeaker system. Its performance and physical design make it perfect for many applications requiring quality sound in portable and fixed environments. The high-frequency section of the Sx100+ utilizes a molded-in, 65° x 65° constant-directivity horn. This unique pattern contributes to high intelligibility, vocals sound natural yet "cut through" in reverberant, noisy rooms. Coverage pattern is uniform, sound quality off-axis is very well maintained, even at 45° off axis (a 90° total coverage angle).
The horn's unique, Varipath throat geometry helps driver output to the corners of the room, areas which are not described in the usual specifications of horizontal and vertical coverage angles. This results in more uniform coverage throughout, even to those parts of the audience that typically do not receive the strongest coverage.
The Sx100+'s high-frequency horn is driven by the DH3, a 1" throat, wide-bandwidth, titanium-diaphragm driver using a unique, convex-drive TimePath phasing plug structure for smooth and extended high-frequency response.

This is the first in a series (well, okay — two articles planned at this point) on "Guerrilla Networking" products that were designed to provide networkability to non-expandable personal computers.
In my account of trying to drag a compact Macintosh into the 21st century, I mentioned picking up a couple of Farallon Etherwave LocalTalk-to-Ethernet transcevers. I didn't need them for that project and I have never used them, but I've kept them around because I still think they are pretty slick pieces of hardware.

New Exercise Guidelines for Type 2 Diabetes
The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and the American Diabetes Association (ADA) have issued a joint position statement establishing new exercise guidelines for people with Type 2 diabetes. These replace the ACSM guidelines issued in the 2000 position stand "Exercise and Type 2 Diabetes."
The new recommendations were developed by a panel of nine experts based on evidence from recent high-quality studies establishing that regular physical activity can prevent or delay the development of Type 2 diabetes and can positively impact factors such as cholesterol, blood pressure, heart health, and quality of life. Most of these benefits, the authors note, are the result of both resistance and aerobic exercise and are achieved through both short- and long-term improvements in insulin action.

Sean Wilson, aka Coronation Street's Martin Platt, will be making a special appearance at this year's Big Cheese Festival in Caerphilly (29th – 31st July).
Since leaving the classic soap, Sean has become a keen 'foodie' and now devotes his attention to his own business - The Saddleworth Cheese Co.
Visitors to this year's Big Cheese event will get the chance to see Sean taking part in exciting cookery demonstrations preparing a range of tasty dishes. They will also get to sample some of his world-renowned cheeses within the food marquee on the festival site.
The annual Big Cheese weekend kicks off with a traditional funfair, entertainment and a firework display on Friday evening (29th July). Then, on Saturday and Sunday, the festival really takes off with over 150 food and craft stalls, dance, live music, entertainment, a huge funfair plus lots of activities for the whole family.
Sean is looking forward to the big event, "This will be my first visit to the Big Cheese, but I've heard it is one of the best summer events in south Wales so I'm very excited to be involved. I have a keen passion for food and love creating some of the most exciting cheeses in the UK industry today, so I hope my produce goes down well with the crowds."
The Big Cheese is a 'must see' attraction for all visitors and has become a key feature in the Welsh summer events calendar. Portraying the history, heritage and culture of the Caerphilly county borough, the 2010 event attracted over 80,000 people.

text: If you're visiting STAX, (and why would you miss that?) you need to stop by for a bite at Four Way. It is just good southern food. And if you grew up on fried food and sides like I did, you will probably enjoy this place. Prices are reasonable and desserts were great.

I have had the area rug for about 2 months now. I love it! It is in my family room... has gorgeous colors greens, reds, golds and blues... can tie in any of these in your decor accents. It doesn't shed and looks nice all the time. Doesn't show any dirt! ... I have 2 cats, a dog and 2 kids... it is perfect... I cannot say enough nice things about it... in fact, I loved it so much, I ordered the same carpet for my upstairs bedroom! Thanks for offering this! It is very plush too! You will not be disappointed!
We hesitantly ordered the rug with our fingers crossed that we would be happy with what showed up. Having looked at rugs at many different stores and seeing what a rug in this price range looked like, we were more than satisfied from the second we unrolled it. The colors were vibrant. The quality was way better than expected. It is thick and plush and if we need to buy a rug on the future, this will e my first and probably only stop.
I had been eyeing this rug for quite some time. After reading all of the positive reviews, I decided to go for it. This rug is such great quality for the money. It has a beautiful design and feels soft and plush underfoot. It rolled out nicely and was completely flattened in less than 24 hours. There was no discernible odor. I love the colors! If you're on the fence, go for it.
I really like this rug. We have three dogs so the darker color was great. There are plenty of additional hot colors to add a pop of color. Overall great run and good price
Great rug! Very high quality with a great price! Very happy with my purchase.
This rug came in 3 days and when I unrolled it I fell in love with it!!
Glad I purchased this rug. Awesome quality for the price. Color is just like photo. Love it!!!

Coach Darrin Robinson used three words to describe the GCHS Braves baseball team this season: exciting, challenging and unfinished. Robinson said the Braves played one of the toughest schedules in the state. High points in the season included a win over undefeated Collins who at the time was 22-0 and ranked number two in the state, as well as wins over several other top 25 teams. "We played and did everything right against Collins," he said.
The Grant County Braves baseball team battled heat, humidity and hot parents in their 32nd district match up against the Walton-Verona Bearcats on May 19 at GCHS.
Temperatures hovered near 90 degrees, but parents and fans on both sides of the dugouts were even hotter as the Bearcats went on to beat the Braves 5-3.
The Williamstown track and field team closed out its 2013 season on May 10 at the Class 1A Region 4 Championships hosted by Walton-Verona High School at the Walton Verona Athletic Complex located in Verona. The top two in each event and the next 10 best performances among the seven Class 1A regions compiled results qualify for the KHSAA State Track and Field Championships that will be held at the University of Louisville on May 17-18.
Girls on the Run is a program for girls in the third through fifth grade and the sixth through eighth grade to participate in an after-school program. This program is designed to allow every girl to recognize her inner strength.
The lessons encourage positive emotional, social, mental and physical development. Each school discusses body image, self-esteem, bullying, gossiping and peer pressure among other topics. Physical activity is woven into the program to inspire an appreciation of fitness and to build habits that lead to a healthy life.
The Lady Braves were defeated by the Connor Cougars on May 1. Kayla Cummins took the mound for the Lady Braves. With strong defense, the Lady Braves were able to hold the Lady Cougars in check until the sixth inning when their bats began swinging. The Lady Braves will play Bracken County on May 14. Photos by Jerry Morris
The Grant County High School Baseball team has found a rhythm and are on a seven-game winning streak.
"The players are finally getting timely hits, running the bases well and just doing the little things it takes to win. They are playing team baseball," said Coach Darrin Robinson.
Robinson credited several players including Jordan Martin, Ben Shipp, Jason Goe, Blake Dills and Lucas Alger for giving 100 percent working hard and playing consistently.
Grant County High School hosted the Grant County Invitational Track Meet on April 26. Grant County High School Seniors Nick Braun and Jarred Baker, as well as Jeremy Dunn, center, the track team manager, were recognized at the start of the meet by GCHS Coach Chris Jefferson (above.)
Braun went on to place third in the 110m hurdles with a time of 16.80. Williamstown had two atheletes, Hannah Kinsey and Alex Prokopchak compete. Kinsey participated in the 800, while Prokopchak won the girls long jump event and placed second in the triple jump.

When CoCo, the sable ferret was adopted in April 2008, it was clear that her previous owner had taken great care of her because she was friendly and mellow. Her new family found her on our website. When she got to her new home, she bonded right away with her new ferret buddies. They all jumped in the hammock together and took a nap.
Now, CoCo is right at home in her new place, stealing socks from the laundry pile, wrestling with sister Peyton and lounging on the three-season porch. Peyton came from our Woodbury location, while CoCo came from our Golden Valley site. They spend a lot of time on the heated bathroom floor, roasting their bellies, then flipping over to warm their backs. They love causing mischief together, chattering and running around the house looking for attention and playing with toys. CoCo's fortunate that her family already knew how much responsibility it takes to care for ferrets. As they age, ferrets may require medications and special care. CoCo's family has had ferrets for 10 years, so they have learned that it takes a great deal of dedication to properly care for her.

Mea Culpa, Mea culpa, I was in a hurry and didn't read the whole Michelle Bachman impeachment article thoroughly(in addition to more trouble than usual in signing into my show from the BTR Gremlins). The Daily currant is another one of those troublemaking satire sites. No articles of impeachment have been filed, which is truly a shame.
Taking a look today at Michelle Bachman's filing of articles of impeachment and other news of the day. As for the debt ceiling Maybe Congress should respect the American people for once and respect that limit on their spending. Shut it down.
Doing my best to help the Lord set the brushfires of freedom in the hearts of men and to restore America, God willing, to the beacon of freedom she was meant to be.

Wasn't that just there a minute ago?
What are we talking about? An object? Love? A "friend" or a feeling we once had?
How about our own ability to heal and live full lives? Has there ever been such a freedom on this planet? Not for man or beast, so why do we seek this so intently and why is there such an opposing violent force to having it?
Meditation: Do we truly need it? What are the differences between Magick and Miracles created by prayer?
How do you spell pray? To p-r-a-y or not to p-r-e-y. How do we cast a spell anyway? We continue to ask the questions, knowing the answers, still, not operating to our full potential. How do we eliminate this Fear?

I loved the quaint hotel. It is located high up near the castle. The views from our balconies were amazing. The hotel also has a roof top pool and patio... area that is really wonderful. The service was excellent, the included breakfast was terrific, even included Cava. Dinner was OK, but once we got in from our busy day, we did not want to venture out again. I definitely would stay here again. Perfect if u want to be away from the city center. The hop on hop off bus is close by, it stops at the castle, which is a 5 minute walk away. تم التعليق بواسطة أحد النزلاء على موقع Hotels.com في ينا 28, 2013

December 3, 2004
Terrorism has changed America�s way of thinking, and it has also changed the way OBU is preparing its student nurses. And for Cindy Rieger, R.N., M.S., C.N.S., OBU assistant professor of nursing, volunteering to direct the Oklahoma Nurses Association disaster preparedness committee was something she approached enthusiastically.
�I am involved because I like planning, mostly. I have been working with ONA because after 9-11 we knew that we needed to do more as far as volunteer manpower. We established a task force and now we have a board. We received a Medical Reserve Corps grant and received $50,000 a year for three years. This grant has allowed the ONA to be involved in establishing a nurse alert system in Oklahoma. It helps to organize the volunteer nursing manpower response in the event of a catastrophic disaster,� she says.
There are approximately 31,000 registered nurses and licensed practical nurses in the state of Oklahoma. And it was after the Oklahoma City Murrah Building bombing and 9-11 that ONA saw the need for more medical volunteers. �Terrorism has changed the way we look at things. For example, we are now having to train our nurses to give small pox vaccines. We have never had to do this before. Giving these shots is different because they are given with a bifurcated (two-pronged) needle. All of our senior nursing students are certified by the State Health Department to administer these vaccines.�
In addition, OBU�s curriculum has expanded, says Cindy. �We need our nurses to be more prepared for catastrophic events whether they be through acts of terrorism or Mother Nature like the hurricanes in Florida.� Senior nursing students also are certified in disaster health services by a member of the Disaster Nursing Council in Oklahoma , who is also a National Red Cross nurse.
Although the process has been long � they have been working since October 2001 � Cindy feels that OBU�s nursing students will be prepared if the need arises.

30 $ parking fee
The staff were fantastically friendly, chatty and always had a smile on their face. Nothing was too much trouble. The design of the hotel is great adn sitting by the pool was an awesome place to get some work done.
Being completly ignored by the valets when I arrived - we were the only car in the driveway.
When I booked the room, I had no idea that the hotel lobby converts into a nightclub every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings until 2:00 am. I came back to the hotel from a lovely dinner to find dancing bodies and pumping music. When I called down to the desk to complain, they told me to use the convenient ear plugs. I told them this was unacceptable, so after a bit of complaining, they gave me a free night's stay. That didn't help me much as I had to leave at 5:30 am for the airport. Very disappointed, as the location is terrific. But won't be staying there again, at least on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday night!
I liked the pool & design of the hotel. The bartenders pool side were really nice, and kept up good quality service.
The staff was 1/2 incompetent, I was expecting a bit more from them, they didn't clean my room after asking twice, then I had to turn on angry mode in order for them to take seriously. They did offer a comp on 1 night of parking, but it didn't make feel better.
Pool, drinks, room, staff, lobby
Hallways, elevator, exterior facade, too many house keeper carts in plain view
Great location with a young vibe! king size bed and the size of the room were great.
After arriving from a 14hour flight from Sydney at 10.30am on a Sunday morning a staff member argued with us over our Australian credit cards to pay the balance of our stay, resulting in taking all the American cash we had exchanged before arriving in the USA.
Location is amazing. Pool side, ambiance, and food
Staff is not very friendly, had to ask for several documents (receipts paid with differents cards and cash) as I need it for accounting/expenses. Some girls at reception did not show me that much appreciation of the extra documents i have asked for, in fact they did not know how to do it. I had this experience few times over the 10 days I stayed there. They are young and cute but not very efficient certainly, they dont like to be asked TOO MUCH. Overall, I would say not the best customer service.
the pool (4th july excepted). the pool servers and the room service servers were friendly and helpful.
the total lack of transparency at booking and on arrival about the 4th july pool party that limited guests' access to the pool and facilities. appallingly handled and a deal breaker for returning to the hotel
Room staff was extremely helpful and courteous. The pool patio was beautiful.
The place seemed like a social club for locals rather than a welcoming place for out-of-town travelers. On the 4th of July the hotel hosted a poolside BBQ which seemed like a nice gesture. Instead, the place had a line out-the-door with Hollywood and Los Angeles locals. When I returned to the hotel that night, door security asked why I was entering the hotel. Not a nice welcome for a 6-night guest. Was very surprised to see hotel staff lounging at the pool before their afternoon shifts. Cabanas were reserved for staff and denied to guests? Overnight guests are not the priority at this place.
Great staff , especially in bar/restaurant. Nice pool area. Clean rooms with comfortable bed.
Location is great
Rooms/hotel are a bit tired. It can get noisy too as the walls are thin between each of the rooms. There are no fitness facilities.
Air conditioner sucked, and rooms are a tad dated. Elevator is needs work. Maybe have desk in rooms
Lobby and common areas and nice staff, nice bathroom
Room and corridor looked like a bad motel remodeling . Terrible sound proofing could every word from neighboring room and every foot step from room above. The most likely know that since they provide earplugs on night table .
The location is perfect for West Los angeles access. Nice place to go out and walk around day or night.many shops, restaurants and gyms in area. Trendy décor and amazing and relaxing lobby. Staff friendly and valet is FAST! Wifi is free and fast , never had problems.
Im a coffee lover and no coffee pot and coffee in room was really missed. Ive stayed in many hotels and this is one perk that seems to be the norm but not here.
Great 24-hour diner Very cool design Great location right on Sunset strip
The rooms are relatively noisy, as you can hear the music from the bar - although this was fine when I put my earplugs in to go to sleep
The Standard is a very nice hotel, with a Hollywood vibe to it. It is especially nice for the young, hip, party-going crowd. It is ideally located on Sunset Blvd, in walking distance to all the Hollywood hotspots, both famous and infamous. It is a boutique hotel with a kind of sixties/seventies mix with modern feel to it. The room and bathroom were comfortable but nothing extraordinary. The staff is friendly. It was not as noisy as other people say it is, but it could be the period we stayed.
It is a bit expensive, you are mostly paying for the location. The minibar is fully stocked however everything is way overpriced. Parking is by valet only, unless you choose to park on the busy Sunset blvd where you would be hardpressed to find a spot at any hour of the day. There can be a bit of traffic noise, which could be annoying to some people.
Room service food was bad
Music being play every day until 1am in the morning. it gets a bit boring if you are staying there for more than a couple of days.
All Amazing location big room
The arty ness of the hotel, hip decor and music, good staff
Paper thin walls and floors. Even with earplugs in the quietest part of hotel, didn't sleep at all for the 2 nights I was there. Footsteps upstairs sounded like someone crossing an iron bridge with boots on.
the location
the cleaning
Do not expect luxury but the smart design gives you excellent value for money in a great West Hollywood location Buzzy atmosphere, engaging and pleasantly quirky design. Fun.
However, the service is not crisp and the bathroom did not look or feel spotlessly clean, in part I suspect because the bathroom tiles absorb dirt so easily. Cool prevails over comfort. All that said, I would stay again!
Clean comfortable room. Great bed. Great shower. Balcony is always nice.
It was unusually cold in LA but there was no temperature control. You could only turn the heat on or off. So it would get SUPER hot in the room. If you turned the heat off it got FREEZING cold. Super slow internet. Almost unusable.

(CNN) - Former NFL Quarterback Brett Favre played 321 straight games before retiring.
Now the former Pro Bowler is admitting he suffers from memory loss.
In a recent radio interview, Favre said he can't remember his daughter playing youth soccer one summer, even though he knows she did.
Memory lapses could be a sign of a brain disease found in many athletes who suffer repeated blows to the head.
The condition is called chronic traumatic encephalopathy or CTE. Currently, CTE can only be diagnosed by analyzing brain tissue after a person dies.
Scientists are working to identify some common symptoms to help diagnose living players.
