ABD makes WWBA finals a family affair
Jim Ecker
Monday, October 26, 2009
JUPITER, Fla. -- You probably won't see the Yankees and Phillies pose for a group photo after the final game of the 2009 World Series, but you saw something comparable after the last game of the 2009 WWBA World Championship Monday afternoon.
The winners and losers walked to center field, posed for pictures together, made plans to socialize once they return to California and had a joint post-game meeting with the winning and losing coaches. It sounds odd, but it all made perfect sense.
The ABD Academy made the championship game of the WWBA tournament a family affair Monday when the Braves Scout Team defeated the Orange County Boxers, 7-1, at Roger Dean Stadium behind a strong pitching performance by David Longville.
The Braves Scout Team and the Orange County Boxers came up with new names for the World Championship, but the players on both clubs belong to the vaunted ABD program of California and carry the ABD banner wherever they go. This time, they met in the championship game of the 85-team tournament and had a grand time.
"This is a family, in a sense," said Jon Paino, who coached the Boxers. "We play together all summer long, we work out together. These kids are friends, on and off the field. They all play in California together, they play on the same club teams, they play high school baseball against each other. We are kind of a second family, so this was a lot of fun."
The Braves Scout Team scored four runs in the fourth inning to grab a 6-1 lead and was never headed. They strung together five straight hits by Rouric Bridgewater, Brett Harrison, Jean Ramirez, Bryce Mosier and Josh Guerra to take control. Harrison and Guerra hit doubles and Ramirez, Mosier and Guerra had RBIs.
Longville pitched five solid innings for the Braves with five strikeouts. Henry Owens, who was named the Most Valuable Pitcher in the tournament, tossed the last two frames to end the tournament.
Ironically, the most talented team in the ABD program did not make the playoffs. The ABD Bulldogs, blessed with four Aflac All-Americans and other highly regarded players, did not win their pool and did not advance. Meanwhile, their buddies who play on other ABD teams competed for the trophies.
"It's always good when you get two teams like this in the finals. We feel pretty good about it," said Mike Spiers, the director of ABD baseball who coached the Braves here.
The players who compete for the ABD Bulldogs are all high school seniors. Most of them have already committed to Division I colleges and some of them will be high draft picks next June. The players on the Braves Scout Team, by contrast, are high school juniors with a couple of sophomores thrown in. They could be next year's Bulldogs, and they gave a good account of themselves in Jupiter this past week.
Danny Camarena, who pitched a two-hit shutout for the Braves with 12 strikeouts in the semifinals, was named the Most Valuable Player in the tournament. He got the save in a 4-3 victory in the quarterfinals on Sunday night, then tossed a complete game in the semifinals on Monday morning. He finished with a 2-0 record in the tournament with a 0.00 ERA and 13 strikeouts in 11 2/3 innings. He also played the outfield and had several big hits.
"I'm very excited. I mean, I never would have thought," said Camarena, a left-hander from Bonita, Calif. "You come here, I wanted to do good. Me and my brother (Louie) talked about it, but I never really expected this."
Owens, a 6-foot-5 southpaw from Huntington Beach, Calif., pitched nine innings in the tournament without allowing a run. He struck out 13 batters and allowed only four hits to earn the award as Most Valuable Pitcher.
Camarena and Owens both went home to California with handsome trophies for their individual awards. Another teammate had the championship trophy in his mitts and wasn't letting go. A member of the ABD program won the title, but it wasn't supposed to be the Braves.
"We weren't expected to do anything, but we knew we could go far. We weren't intimidated by them seniors," said Owens, smiling broadly.
The Braves and Boxers mingled in center field after the game, savoring a big moment for the ABD program.
"We all know each other, we're all good buddies," said Owens. "But once the game starts it's all business. And once it ends, it's all cool."

The IC
Alright ladies and gentlemen,
This roleplay will be set in modern times though the pack will be very minimalist, especially the older members of the pack. I know everyone has a different idea about Lycans or werewolves as most people call them so I'll do my best to explain my idea in as much detail as possible so there isn't any conflicts later on.
If you have any other questions at all feel free to ask them. Do not be shy because I probably forgot to mention some things about them.
As for the plot the pack, referred to as the Blue Ridge pack, lives in a small village within the recesses of the Shawnee National Forest in the United States. Humans believe them to be Native Americans. This roleplay will involve a rogue that I will periodically play into situations, as well as daily life and the intrusions of humans into their territory. There will also be conflicts with other packs and several other situations with which you will have to work with to keep the roleplay going. I will be playing the Alpha Female and I will be selecting an Alpha Male from the character sheets you all post. Simply put Alpha Male? in the position section of the character sheet for consideration. You are allowed to have up to three characters.
Like I said if you have any questions at all feel free to post them, don't be shy.
Pack Ranks
Alpha Male- Ryan
Alpha Female- Laurel
Beta Male- Castian
Beta Female- *must be pre-arranged and accepted by Castian
Healer- Siviliana
General Males- Eron, Ryan, Micheal
General Females- Skylar, Luirea
My Character Sheet
Full Name: Laurel Silverbrooke-Kirkman
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Position: Alpha Female
Human Appearance:
Laurel stands around five foot four inches and is slim and almost fragile looking. However, do not be fooled she is stronger than she appears.
Canine Appearance:
The only difference is Laurel's left eye is silver while the other is gold.
Personality: Laurel is calm and focused, always logical though she does like to goof off frequently. She is soothing and easy going, someone who is easy to talk to. Perhaps too easy to talk to at times, it is her perk. She is loyal to the core, someone who you will never have to worry about being there.
History: Laurel's mother died shortly after she was born so Laurel was raised by her older brother and father who served as the Blue Ridge pack's Beta Male for many years. Being that she was raised in power Laurel is very adept at using it. Her childhood was a bit of a struggle being the only female in the family and not having even any aunts or cousin because her family was still a long ways away in France. Laurel comes from some of the purest Lycan bloodlines in existence. The Alpha female at the time took her under her wing but they were never truly close. Laurel has honestly never been very close to anyone. Her brother was too much older than her to really understand her as a young girl. They haven't spoken since the day he left for the Ordeal of another pack which he won easily, perhaps too easily, as she heard from the whispers of the pack. As Laurel neared the age she when she would be able to mate she became quieter and quieter. Bloodlines were never important to her father though she could see the gleam in the boys eyes when they looked at her. Despite her father's view of bloodlines not being too important her fighting skills and stealth skills were of extreme importance to him. He spent many years dealing out harsh training before she was finally large enough and fast enough to stand up for herself. "Rolling over on your back and bearing your throat won't always work!" He would shout at her. Her skills are definitely something to be feared though she hates to use them. She avoids conflict if at all possible. She rejected many offers before she claimed her mate.
Family Members: Her father was the Beta for many years before he was shot by hunters. She also has a brother who is the Alpha of another pack and her mother died shortly after she was born. Her brother's name is Rowan.
Other: Laurel was the named heir of the Blue Ridge pack.

Mo recently won China's prestigious Mao Dun literary award -- a potential indication that China has become more open to talking about the issue.
He also is famous for his novels "Red Sorghum," a story that takes place during the Japanese occupation of China during World War II, and "Big Breasts and Wide Hips," described as an epic about women. He was asked by Granta if he considers himself a feminist or if he is "simply drawn to write from a female perspective."
"First of all, I admire and respect women. I think they are very noble and their life experience and the hardship a woman can endure is always much greater than a man. When we encounter great disasters, women are always more brave than men -- I think because they have their due capacity, they are also mothers.
"The strength that this brings is something we can't imagine. In my books I try to put myself in the shoes of women, I try to understand and interpret this world from the perspective of women. But the bottom line is I am not a woman: I'm a male writer. And the world I interpreted in my books as if I were a woman, might not be well received by women themselves but that is not something I can do anything about. I love and admire women, but nonetheless I am a man," he said.
Mo told Time that he doesn't worry about censorship when deciding what to write. He told the magazine that the "inability to attack some topics head on is actually an advantage."
"There are certain restrictions on writing in every country," he said. "One of the biggest problems in literature is the lack of subtlety. A writer should bury his thoughts deep and convey them through the characters in his novel."
"By placing much of his writing in the past, and through the adroit subtlety of his magic-realist style, Mo Yan avoids stirring up the animosity of the country's ever vigilant censors any more than he needs to," the Time interview said.
After the award was announced, Chinese national pride rippled across the Internet. "China," one commenter said on the Nobel website, "is rising."
Mo himself "was overjoyed and scared," Chinese state media reported, citing a Nobel committee member who informed the author of the prize.
Chinese authorities and many Chinese people regard Mo as the first to win the literature prize. The prize in 2000 went to Chinese writer Gao Xingjian, who was born and educated in China but is now a French citizen.
Favorites for this year's award included American folk singer Bob Dylan, Canadian author Alice Munro, American novelist Philip Roth and Japanese author Haruki Murakami.
Murakami and Dylan were also favorites among bookies last year, but Swedish poet Tomas Transtromer won the million-dollar prize.

The Börsenverein honours the year's best German-language novel / Award ceremony held before 300 guests at the Frankfurt Römer
FRANKFURT, Germany, October 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
The winner of the German Book Prize 2013 is Terézia Mora for her novel "Das Ungeheuer" (Luchterhand).
Statement from the jury:
A dark thread runs through the text of Terézia Mora's novel "Das Ungeheuer" ("Monster"), which tells the story of married couple Darius Kopp and Flora. He was an everyman who loved his wife more than anything - albeit hopelessly - and who was overwhelmed by her illness and depression. Flora took her own life, leaving Kopp behind with an urn filled with her ashes and a file in which his Hungarian wife had kept a diary of her disease. He sets off on a journey through Eastern Europe, in search of a home for the ashes and for his despair. His travels take him from Hungary to Croatia to Albania and beyond, until he finally descends upon Greece. "Das Ungeheuer" is both a stylistically brilliant obituary that is rich in perspective and a spirited road novel set in modern-day Eastern Europe. Terézia Mora adopts a radical approach to offer a voice to the deceased Flora and her suffering, which she was unable to share with Darius. Beneath the dark thread, her diary can be read as a complement to Darius' travel story - a mosaic of autobiographical and medical sketches on the subject of depression. As a writer, Mora succeeds in interweaving two text forms and two characters who failed each other in life. Terézia Mora combines a keen awareness of literary form with a capacity for empathy. "Das Ungeheuer" is a deeply moving novel that offers its own diagnosis of the contemporary age.
Jury members for the German Book Prize 2013 include: Helmut Böttiger (independent critic, jury spokesman), Katrin Lange (Literaturhaus Munich), Ursula März (Die Zeit), Jörg Plath (independent critic), Andreas Platthaus (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung), Klaus Seufer-Wasserthal (Rupertus Buchhandlung, Salzburg, Austria) and Claudia Voigt (Der Spiegel).
The Börsenverein des Deutschen Buchhandels Stiftung - the Foundation of the German Publishers and Booksellers Association - awarded the German Book Prize 2013 to the best German-language title of the year to coincide with the start of the Frankfurt Book Fair.

Although it's a best guess, today is the day which is credited as being Shakespeare's 448 birthday! So it seemed appropriate to publish this post today.
This was originally published as a bonus article in the Coaching Confidence weekly email during June 2011. To start getting your very own copy each week enter your details under "Don't miss a thing!" to the right of this page.
What can we learn from best practice in other fields?
Both this week's Monday post and next week's will focus on two workshops I have recently observed. Some of the following will specifically talk about a different industry with different job titles, yet I invite you to consider the points that you, as a coach, can take from this experience.
To help, I've added a few coaching questions to consider throughout this piece, however, feel free to ask your own coaching questions as they occur to you.
Last week I spent a delightful, if somewhat rainy, day in Stratford – Upon – Avon. The Royal Shakespeare Company (the RSC) was having an open day with various events scheduled throughout the day.
For those who are not aware of The RSC they are a theatre company who see their "job to connect people with Shakespeare and produce bold, ambitious work with living writers, actors and artists."
The first workshop I watched was led by the RSC's "Head of Voice" Cicely Berry. We were first treated to a bit of history about how in 1969 the RSC was the first theatre company in the UK to employ someone specifically to work with actors just for voice. It was felt that the training that the young actors were getting did not prepare them to "fill spaces."
Being a new approach, Cicely Berry described how she was working on her feet, figuring out strategies and techniques as she went along.
She described how one of the issues she saw was that often actors lost connection with characters by conforming to what the director wanted.
Coaching is often discussed as being a "new field" and I do see some coaches figuring out new strategies and techniques as they go along – ones that work for themselves and their clients.
However, I also see some coaches who have lost connection with themselves – either because they are conforming to what a respected "expert" has wanted or by their own interpretation about who they "should" be as a coach.
A coaching question to consider: if you were working on your feet figuring out strategies and techniques as you went along, what would you be doing different?
As head of voice, Cicely Berry says "My job is to get them [the actors] free from their left hand side of the brain, understanding and really hearing it for themselves."
A coaching question to consider: Are you aware as a coach what your role is working with your clients?
I know, personally I can have many different roles depending upon the client I am working with and where they are at any given moment. Certainly, as a coach one of the roles that I am aware that I do is to assist my client to hear their own inner wisdom – instead of listening to the stories and logical reasons they had been telling themselves.
As it was a workshop you probably won't be surprised to hear that we also saw the actors participating in various exercises designed to emphasis various technical aspects.
One of these exercises was about recognising the beat and rhythm of a particular piece as the underlying rhythm gives incredible energy and makes it active.
A different exercise focused upon demonstrating that it Isn't necessarily the volume you speak but reaching out with constinents etc that means you can be heard even in the back row of the auditorium.
A coaching question to consider: what else could you do to add incredible energy to something you are currently working upon?
Even though more mature in her years and walking with the use of a stick, she still got up during exercises to stand in the middle of the action. She made sure that she was monitoring what was happening and what each participant was doing. Often the exercises involved lots of movement and quick changes in direction. In the middle of this if any actor turned unexpectedly in her direction she just put a hand in front of her and stood her ground so they didn't unintentionally bump into her.
A coaching question to consider: What more can you do to be more in the middle of the action?
As I watched I was aware that if we were to use labels that coaches would be familiar with there were numerous examples that we could use.
For example, after explaining an exercise she asked a variation of the question "Do you mind doing that?"
You may be familiar as a coach with checking someones willingness to an action. This phrasing not only does that but also being a closed question she was inviting a straight forward yes or no answer without any "story" associated with that.
At the end of each exercise the participants were asked, "What did you get from that?" giving them the opportunity to reflect and reinforce the learning from the exercise.
So my final coaching question to consider this week is: "What can you learn/take from this post?"

STATELINE, Nev. (AP) - Authorities say searchers have found the body of a missing Northern California woman who last was seen on New Year's Eve at a South Lake Tahoe casino.
Douglas County undersheriff Paul Howell said a utility worker found 19-year-old Alyssa Byrne of Petaluma early Friday in a snow bank by a trail near the area around the Nevada-California state line where she disappeared.
Howell says the body had no visible signs of trauma and investigators do not suspect foul play in Byrne's death. She was last seen around midnight on New Year's Eve at the Horizon Casino Resort in Stateline, Nev.
Byrne was in the area with friends attending a music festival being held at a nearby community college. Howell says Byrne may have tried to walk from a concert she had attended back to where she was staying rather than wait for a shuttle bus.

A New American Diet
The meals we Americans know and love need an overhaul, according to the latest U.S. dietary guidelines. Fast foods, the "empty" calories in desserts, sweet drinks, and more have helped to fatten the nation -- making two-thirds of adults overweight or obese. Yet, the solution is within reach: Know the worst offenders, substitute better foods, and use a few portion-control tricks -- pictured in the slides to come.
Calorie-Bomb Food Favorites
What do we really eat? It turns out that our top sources of calories start with desserts (cookies, sweet rolls, etc.); yeast breads; chicken dishes; soda/energy/sports drinks; pizza; alcohol; pasta; tortilla dishes; and beef dishes. No fruits or veggies break the top 25 -- except potato chips and fries. Many are high in fat and sugar. Chicken is often breaded and fried, nearly doubling the calories.
Eat Less
Guidelines call for most Americans to cut back on certain rich, fattening foods and ingredients. Americans get nearly 800 calories a day from just two problematic nutrients: solid fats and added sugars ("SoFAS"). We're advised to limit those, as well as fast foods, refined grains, saturated fat, and trans fats. Most people eat too much sodium (salt), which is linked to high blood pressure, a risk factor for heart and kidney disease.
Eat More
U.S. dietary guidelines call for us to replace less healthy foods with more nutritious choices. These include seafood (at least 8 ounces a week), whole grains (at least half of our grain intake), nonfat or low-fat dairy foods, lean protein, eggs, beans and, of course, fruits and vegetables. Lean protein and seafood should replace fatty meats. Healthy oils, such as olive and canola, should replace solid fats like margarine.
The Pizza Problem
Pizza ranks as a top source of calories, refined grains, saturated fat, and solid fats for adults and children – the very nutrients that many Americans need to limit. Still, dietitians suggest pizza can fit into a healthy diet with a few changes. Stop at one small slice and fill the other half of the plate with vegetables. Other tips:
- Choose a thin, whole-grain crust
- Pile on veggies and skip the meat.
- Use no cheese or just a sprinkle.
What Are Whole Grains?
A kernel of wheat, rice, barley, or other grain comes off the plant with its outer shell (the "bran") intact -- and full of fiber, vitamins, and minerals. The fiber is a top food for good health, helping people to feel full with fewer calories and prevent constipation. Unfortunately, to create white (refined) flour from a kernel of wheat, food makers remove the outer shell (bran), the germ, and with them, much of the fiber and vitamins.
What Are Solid Fats?
These tend to be solid at room temperature but also include liquid tropical oils. They're linked to heart disease and play an important role in the obesity epidemic, too. Examples include butter, stick margarine, the shortening used in cakes and other baked goods, and animal fats. Foods that contain solid fat include many cheeses, cream, fatty cuts of meat, bacon, and chicken skin. Oils become unhealthy solid fats when they're hydrogenated. Guidelines call for Americans to get fewer calories from solid fats.
Serving the Right Size
Sticking with moderate food portions can help you avoid eating too many calories in what researchers call our "obesogenic" environment of super-sized meals and sedentary lifestyles. You can check food labels and restaurant menus for hidden calories. And you can learn to "eyeball" your food to gauge what's too much -- and what's just right.
Shrink Your Plate to Lose Weight
The dinner plates we use at home -- and at restaurants -- are bigger than in the 1950s and '60s. A bigger plate usually means more food. If you grew up with the words "Clean your plate," you may be doing exactly that -- and risk overeating because of it.
Set Out Salad Plates
These tips will help you control how much you eat -- and reach a healthy weight.
- Eat from smaller dishes like luncheon or salad plates.
- Serve the correct portion.
- Don't go back for seconds or keep platters of food on the table.
- Store leftovers in portion-controlled amounts for other quick meals.
Eating Out? 4 Tips on Portion Size
Restaurants typically serve huge portions. If you eat out often, you need to always keep portion sizes in mind. Try these tips:
- Ask about half portions or order from the child's menu.
- If you get a full portion size, box up half your entree before you start eating.
- Share your food with your companion.
- Eat a healthy appetizer and soup or salad instead of an entrée.
Your Daily Diet
Calorie needs depend on age, gender, and activity -- from 1,600-1,800 for a sedentary woman to 2,400-2,600 for a moderately active man of average height and weight. A healthy balance of foods at these levels includes:
- Fruit (1.5-2 cups) and vegetables (2.5-3.5 cups)
- 9 ounces of grain; ½ from whole grains
- 3 cups of nonfat or low-fat dairy foods
- 5-6.5 ounces of protein (meat, beans, and at least 8 ounces of seafood per week)
- No more than 5-7 teaspoons of oils. Most should come within foods like fish and nuts, rather than as added fat.
- SoFAS Limit: 161-330 calories from solid fats and added sugars
Learn to Eyeball a Portion Size
Having a mental image of these objects helps determine normal serving sizes: A deck of cards, a poker chip, a baseball, a hockey puck, a CD, some dice, a light bulb.
When you're counting calories, it's an easy way to get a ballpark estimate. Estimating portion sizes will get you started toward weight control.
Cut That Baked Potato Down to Size
1 medium potato (2.5-3 inch wide) = the size of a computer mouse
That's equal to 1 cup of vegetables.
For weight loss, remember this: Restaurants serve giant potatoes with toppings -- which means lots of extra calories. Healthy eating tips:
- Eat a small portion, and take the rest home as leftovers.
- Choose a sweet potato. It has vitamin C, potassium, calcium, vitamin A, folate, beta-carotene
Serve the Right Amount
1 portion of pasta is ½ cup = ½ a baseball
Healthy eating tips:
- If you eat more pasta, skip the bread basket. But add those grains into your daily count.
- Use whole-grain pasta for extra fiber and satiety.
- Skip Alfredo or creamy sauces in favor of marinara.
- Use low-fat salad dressing for pasta salad.
Trim Waffles Down to Size
1 portion of pancake or waffle = the size of a CD.
That's a 1-ounce serving of grains.
Healthy eating tips:
- Order a small pancake and one egg. That's a serving each of grains and protein.
- Order whole grains (buckwheat, whole wheat) for more fiber and nutrition.
- Opt for fresh fruit or sugar-free syrup as a topping.
Your Favorites Can Fool You
Bagels and bran muffins seem like healthy eating standbys. But if they're big, start adding up the calories.
A low-fat muffin can have about 300 calories. Same for a typical big bagel. Spread on some butter or cream cheese, and you've added more fat and calories. Breakfast suddenly becomes a 500-calorie bust.
Size Is Everything at the Bakery
1 small muffin = a tennis ball
1/2 a medium bagel = a hockey puck
That's a 1-ounce serving of grains.
Healthy eating tips:
- Make it a whole-grain bagel. The high fiber will curb hunger later.
- Opt for a high-fiber English muffin to save calories.
Watch Your Dairy Servings
1 portion of cheese = four dice
That's a 1-cup serving of dairy.
Cheese is high in calcium -- and fat, including 3 teaspoons of unhealthy solid fat per serving. Try low-fat cheeses -- they have gotten better in taste and texture. But portion control is still an issue. A healthy diet for adults allows just 3 cups of nonfat or low-fat dairy.
Healthy eating tip:
- Ask for less cheese or low-fat cheese on pizza.
How Much Meat Is Enough?
A 3-ounce portion = a deck of cards or the palm of your hand (minus fingers)
Lean protein in every meal – like fish, poultry, eggs, nuts, beans – can help with weight loss, but adults only need 5-6.5 ounces in a day. So an egg at breakfast or a handful of nuts as a snack (12 almonds, 24 pistachios, or 7 walnut halves) – leaves about 3 ounces for your main meal.
Baseball-Sized Broccoli and Berries
- 1 serving of fruits or veggies = 1 baseball or the size of your fist
- 1 cup of leafy greens = 2 tennis balls
That's a 1-cup serving of fruits and vegetables.
Healthy eating tips:
- Green, red, and orange foods have lots of nutrition: Berries, red bell peppers, tomatoes, pumpkin, sweet potatoes.
- Dark greens are heart-healthy: Spinach, broccoli, Swiss chard, kale.
Go Slightly Nuts for Peanut Butter
1 portion or 2 tablespoons = a golf ball
That's 2 one-ounce servings of protein.
Peanut butter and jelly is great comfort food. And research shows that snacking on peanuts and peanut butter -- in controlled amounts -- is a good way to control hunger. But to avoid weight gain, you've got to exercise portion control. One 2-ounce serving size has about 190 calories and 17 grams of fat. Jelly adds more calories.
Rice Lights Up a Healthy Meal
2 portions of cooked rice = a light bulb
That's 2 servings of grains.
Rice is low-fat, low-calorie. Serve it with more healthy food -- plenty of veggies stir-fried in minimal oil.
Healthy eating tips:
- Steamed rice has fewer calories than fried rice.
- Brown rice has more fiber than white rice.
- Make sure whatever you eat with the rice isn't fried.
It's Easy to Overdo Fats and Oils
1 teaspoon = a poker chip or a stack of four dimes
That's 1 serving of fats and oils.
For weight loss, be mindful of fat. Most Americans get plenty of fat in the foods they eat -- like cooking oil, salad dressings, meats, and nuts.
Healthy eating tips:
- Use spray cooking oils instead of liquid.
- Use heart-healthy olive or canola oil instead of butter.
- Ask for vinaigrette salad dressings on the side, and use sparingly.
A Handful of Chips
1 ounce = 6 large tortilla chips, 20 potato chips, (150 calories)
Contains 2 teaspoons of oil
Chips tend to be chock-full of the nutrients we need to limit: fat, saturated fat, refined grains, and sodium. One ounce can provide nearly half of a woman's oil allotment for the day.
Healthy eating tips:
- Baked, multigrain, and vegetable chips -- like carrot and sweet potato -- have more nutrients and may have less fat.
Keeping Dessert in Proportion
1 cup ice cream = 285 calories, 3 teaspoons of solid fat
1 small scoop/dip ice cream = 88 calories
Desserts seem to be public enemy #1 in the effort to fight America's expanding waistlines – full of SoFAS, the unhealthy fats and sugars. One cup of ice cream contains 75% of the daily solid fat allowance for a sedentary woman. Other reasons to keep portions small:
- Restaurant cheesecake = 500 calories/slice
- Apple pie = 411 calories/slice

He says he is planning to meet and escape with the love of his life, Juniper, who is waiting for him in town. Skeptical but intrigued, Ellis and Neckbone agree to help him. It isn't long until Mud's visions come true and their small town is besieged by a beautiful girl with a line of bounty hunters in tow.
In the year 2154, two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. The people of Earth are desperate to escape the planet's crime and poverty, and they critically need the state-of-the-art medical care available on Elysium – but some in Elysium will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve their citizens' luxurious lifestyle. The only man with the chance to bring equality to these worlds is Max (Matt Damon), an ordinary guy in desperate need to get to Elysium. With his life hanging in the balance, he reluctantly takes on a dangerous mission – one that pits him against Elysium's Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) and her hard-line forces – but if he succeeds, he could save not only his own life, but millions of people on Earth as well.

Scientists have been trying to understand the mechanisms that control the action of leptin, the appetite-regulation hormone that was discovered in 1994.
Last Updated: Thursday, January 10, 2013, 09:10
A study by researchers at Columbia University reveals that leptin regulates the diameter of the airways.

While weight-loss strategies incorporate lifestyle changes focusing on diet and exercise, a new research has suggested that modifications in an individual's daily routine, including sleep behaviours, can help manage weight.

When the brain fails to respond to one of the appetite-regulating hormone, it can lead to weight gain
Last Updated: Saturday, April 28, 2012, 15:33
This could have life-changing effects on people suffering from the complications of obesity and malnutrition.
Last Updated: Friday, November 25, 2011, 23:49
The transplant worked to the extent that the creatures were able to process leptin again -- and duly lost weight.
Last Updated: Sunday, October 16, 2011, 13:28
A hormone like leptin could hold the key to why and how people pile on pounds.

We know that offshore wind power works for Maryland rate payers, workers, our health, our climate, and our national security. Bringing offshore wind power to Maryland will effectively stabilize electricity rates, create jobs, reduce pollution, and provide us with a local source of clean, renewable energy.

"Charles Earnest attended early Green Festivals when he lived in San Francisco. After moving home to Bellevue six years ago, the marketing professional and Microsoft contractor served as a catalyst for bringing the nation's premier sustainability event to the Pacific Northwest.
Now in its fourth year in Seattle, the Green Festival will be held in a new location at Qwest Event Center, May 21-22. It features some 300 eco-friendly exhibitors and 125 speakers, many of whom hail from the Puget Sound region.
"Frankly, we have all sorts of sustainable events, but nothing of this scale," said Earnest, who serves as a host committee member and volunteer. "As a promotion, however, the goal is to get new people in the door – to attract people who have never before stepped in a green event."'

Aamir writes to Bihar CM regarding availability of generic medicines
Aamir Khan's much talked about TV show 'Satyamev Jayate' may have come to an end but the actor is still involved with the various issues he addressed during the course of the show.
Recently Aamir wrote a letter to Bihar C.M. Nitish Kumar asking him to make generic medicines widely available in the state of Bihar. Aamir stressed that the availability of generic medicines would make a huge difference to the middle class, lower class and poor people.
While the policy is yet to be implemented in Bihar, Health Minister Ashwani Kumar Choubey said that various Govt. hospitals and health care centers have already starting providing generic medicines.

Carbon-friendlier alternatives for your life
March 19, 2009 | 3
Being Green does not mean buying and consuming even more pointless products. Conserve, sustain, contain yourselves. Live simply on the Earth. Reduce: population, consumption, impact. That's Green.
Sleep or hibernate button function already exists on most all PCs.
Power free speaker a total waste of plastic and money.
Ultraviolet sterilizer? For what? People are already getting sick from being too sterile. Unless it will actually sterilize people it's worthless as a green product.
Reclaimed tote bags? Better to recycle the plastic, and get a nice canvas tote which will last longer and be stronger than the plastic one anyway. Plus it takes more energy to collect clean, and sew-up the bags than they save. Cute? maybe, if you want to be a walking advertisement for unsustainable food products full of chemical additives.
Recycled basketballs? Whatever... no real savings in energy, and lots of better places for the rubber to go.
Wheat plastic guitar picks, and drum sticks? Not much carbon savings there, I mean, you don't exactly see the landfills overflowing with guitar picks... Besides the wheat takes substantial hydrocarbon to grow. There are better alternatives to bio plastics, like cutting way down on packaging and throw away products in the first place.
Java logs? Put them in the compost where they belong.
Green hair products? I applaud the attempts to save rainforest, but weren't the avocado orchards and coconut plantations once rain forest too?
And finally, since when did sheep become biosphere friendly? The grazing of sheep and goats has destroyed more wild lands than probably any other farming practice, and continues to turn sub Saharan Africa into a desert incapable of supporting life. Sorry guys, these products are all duds. Try again.
The earbud gramophone is pretty cool, but for $500 I can't imagine it being too popular. Why do so many "green" products have such large price tags?
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisIt is really a nice progress to address the topic of our ecological foot-print. To do it correctly one would, however, have to make a complete calculation before advertising a new product. If it takes more resources to make a power-free speaker or a hibernate button than you will ever save by using it then it is a waste of time and money to produce and sell it - our environment will not be ahead if we use it. It would therefore be helpful if this aspect is addressed and clearly communicated when you advertise these products.

Great for a 3-year old!

Comments about First Act 1001245 First Act Discovery Fun in a Drum - Blue Fire Tire:
I bought this for my 3-year old son for Christmas. Of course, the drum is the big hit, but both the drum and tambourine have stood up to his VERY rough playing. I only wish the strap attached more securely. Overall, great toy for the value!
Comment on this review
My son loves it!
About Me Education Oriented, First Time Parent, Working Parent
My son loves this set, especially the drum. He received it as a Christmas gift, and so far everything has held up to his VERY rough play, including the tambourine. I only wish that the strap was a little more secure. Excellent toy!

My son really liked the drum and harmonica. However, it came without the drum sticks. I didn't have time to mess with returning it, so we improvised.

This drum is wonderful!
By authorjenniferhallbrattpatrol

About Me Education Oriented, First Time Parent, Stay At Home Parent
I've read the complaints about the tamborine, but honestly - I didn't buy this kit for that item, or any of the other little bonuses. I purchased this specifically for the DRUM - which my three year old son absolutely LOVES. If you are looking for a fun drum for a young child to play with, this item is perfect!

Pros and cons
By The busy mom of 5
from NC
My son LOVES this gift but the tambourine skin broke the first time he used it. I am oping they will exchange the product because no toy should break on its first use. Other than that it is a great set. I like the way you can store all the parts in the drum so you are not looking for the pieces all over the house!
Poor quality
By momofthree
from Louisiana
I purchased this for my son for Christmas and the tambourine has already busted. I bought one several years ago and the quality was great. The original one is still in good shape; however, they stopped using canvas and replaced it with cheap plastic. I would not recommend this if you want a product that lasts.

Vietnamese Pork, Grilled
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Partner: steamed dumplings
Fish sauce can be found in Asian markets. But to avoid purchasing a whole bottle when you only need 2 teaspoons for this Vietnamese pork, substitute a mixture of 1/2 teaspoon anchovy paste and 2 teaspoons dark soy sauce.
2 large shallots
2 tsp fish sauce
2 tsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 1/2 lb pork loin, sliced into 1/4-inch thick pieces
1 (5-ounce) can chow mein noodles
4 green onions, sliced
Mince shallots. Combine shallots, fish sauce, soy sauce, oil and brown sugar in a large bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves.
Add pork to bowl; turn to coat with sauce. Cover; refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Preheat grill or broiler. Grill pork until just done, about 5 minutes on each side.
Slice pork into strips. Place noodles on a serving plate. Arrange pork over noodles. Top with green onions.
Great Ideas
Vietnamese Pork recipe tip: To quickly peel the shallots, drop them in boiling water. Let stand for 30 seconds; drain and rinse with cold water. The papery skins will then slip off easily.

The event will feature competitors in smallbore .22-caliber rifle and pistol in three matches over three days. Scores from the matches and the top two finals will determine the Olympic team members.
Two spots still are left in the rapid fire pistol, and one slot each in men's rifle prone, men's and women's three position rifle, men's free pistol and women sport pistol.
The Olympic Team Trials is part of a partnership between the U.S. Olympic Committee, the national governing bodies and local committees.
