June 3, 2013 -- Alternative Chance fought for years for the Haitian government to stop its illegal and life-threatening detention of criminal deportees arriving in Haiti. And more recently, as a Co-Petitioner to a Precautionary Measures Petition before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights since 2011, we brought to light the inhumanity and illegalities of such a practice made even more deadly while Haiti's cholera epidemic has taken lives of many detainees in Haiti including a criminal deportee within days of being deported. We also highlighted the vulnerability of the mentally ill and those suffering from serious medical conditions.
Criminal deportees arriving in Haiti are detained by the police from early in the morning to late at night for processing and interrogation. The Haitian government states that it is not currently holding any criminal deportees overnight in detention. It is hard to substantiate this. Over the years, and as recently as 2012, the police moved criminal deportees around to various police stations in and around Haiti's capital and as far away as Archaie.
In my interviews with the police and Haitian government officials when I was in Haiti in March and April 2013, I learned that those deportees with drug convictions may be held over night or nights in detention while awaiting separate interrogation by Haiti's anti-drug trafficking unit of the police. Also, those being investigated for possible crimes in Haiti or are wanted for crimes in Haiti will be detained.
This recent stated practice of not detaining criminal deportees upon arrival has not been put into writing by the Haitian government despite requests by the United States government and the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
Unfortunately, we believe any suspension of detention of criminal deportees upon arrival is temporary.
Further, criminal deportees continue to be targeted by the Haitian government and its police once they are in the community and are targeted for arrest and detention in police stations or in the national prison system. Criminal deportees continue to be subjected to torture, executions and mob violence.

Expert Witness re Haiti Deportation
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! URGENT! Are you deported to Haiti for a conviction you got in Massachusetts anytime between 2003 through mid-August 2012? Were you convicted in either Suffolk, Middlesex, Essex, and Worcester counties? Was it a drug conviction? (Even if you were convicted in a different county, and it was for a crime other than drugs, please contact me anyway to see if your case may qualify at some point)
Write me immediately at firstname.lastname@example.com or at firstname.lastname@example.com You may be eligible for free review of your conviction right now. A special legal committee has already been set up in Massachusetts to review eligible cases. I will explain it to you further in email. This is a result of the Jamaica Plain crime lab scandal.

Alternative Chance, together with Five other Civil and Human Rights Groups, File Emergency Human Rights Petition To Stop Imminent Deportations To Haiti: Earthquake, Cholera And Violence Is Death Sentence

International Human Rights Commission Summons U.S. to Stop Deportations to Haiti Following First Deportee Death
Rights Groups Demand U.S. Comply, Calling Earthquake, Cholera and Violence a Death Sentence After Rare Inter-American Commission Action
February 4, 2011, Miami, FL and Washington, D.C. Today, in response to an emergency petition filed on January 6, 2011 by six rights groups, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) took a rare step and urged the U.S. government to cease deportations to Haiti immediately for persons with serious illnesses or U.S. family ties. The action follows the first reported death of a person deported by the U.S. since removals resumed on January 20, 2011. In its decision, the IACHR expressed concern that detention centers in Haiti are overcrowded, and the lack of drinking water and adequate sanitation or toilets could facilitate the transmission of cholera, tuberculosis, and other diseases.
The deceased, Wildrick Guerrier, 34, exhibited cholera-like symptoms but is believed to have received no medical treatment while in a Haitian police station cell in the midst of a cholera epidemic. A second deported person was reportedly exhibiting cholera-like symptoms and released without medical attention.
Michelle Karshan, Executive Director of Alternative Chance, a re-entry program for criminal deportees in Haiti, responded: The IACHR has rightly and courageously come through on the side of life, family and human rights. By resuming the suspension of deportations to Haiti for now, the U.S. can truly demonstrate its commitment to aiding Haiti through this difficult period towards real reconstruction."
We implore the U.S. Government to follow the IACHRs instructions, said Sunita Patel, Center for Constitutional Rights Staff Attorney. Stop the deportations to stop the deaths. The Obama administration should live up to its promise to abide by human rights obligations and protect the right to life of Haitians in the United States.
The emergency petition for precautionary measures, submitted by the University of Miami School of Law Human Rights and Immigration Clinics, the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center (FIAC), the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), Alternative Chance and the Loyola Law Clinic and Center for Social Justice, argued that deporting people at this moment to Haiti, which is still reeling from the devastating January 2010 earthquake and burdened with a massive cholera epidemic, political unrest and street violence, will result in serious human rights violations, including deprivations of the rights to life, family and due process, and freedom from cruel or unusual punishment.
Deportations from the U.S. to Haiti had been stayed on humanitarian grounds since the January 12, 2010 earthquake devastated Haiti. Advocates and community members were shocked when, on December 9, 2010, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) unexpectedly announced that it was lifting the ban on deportations to Haiti for individuals with criminal records and would resume deportations in January 2011, just one year after the earthquake. On January 20, 2011, the U.S. resumed deportations to Haiti, deporting an estimated 27 people of Haitian origin, several of whom had not set foot in Haiti since they were young children.
Our petition warned that Haitians would be at imminent risk of death if deported to Haiti, said Romy Lerner, FIAC Supervising Attorney. Now our worst fears have been realized. Our government must stop all deportations to Haiti at this time.
The U.S. Government has blood on its hands, said Rebecca Sharpless, Director of the Immigration Clinic at the University of Miami School of Law. While detained in Louisiana, Wildrick Guerrier expressed grave concerns that he had no family in Haiti, that he had not been to Haiti for a very long time, afraid of what would happen to him in Haiti and of the cholera outbreak. He was right to be terrified.
While the IACHRs decision on the emergency petition is limited to deportations of persons of Haitian origin who are seriously ill or who have family members in the U.S., advocates are hopeful that the Commission will extend the scope of its decision in the future.
We will now pursue this as a case on the merits alleging permanent harm in light of the limited ruling of the Commission and in light of the long-term harm that has befallen these 27 individuals and their families and others in the pipeline, said Caroline Bettinger-Lopez, Director of the Human Rights Clinic at University of Miami School of Law. We have requested a hearing before the Commission during its March period of sessions. There, representatives from the U.S. government will need to look the Commissioners in the eye and explain their governments past and future actions.

January 6, 2011, Miami, FL and Washington, D.C. Today six civil and human rights groups filed an emergency petition with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR), to halt the roundups, detention, and imminent deportations of hundreds of Haitian nationals by the United States government. The petition, submitted by the University of Miami School of Law Human Rights and Immigration Clinics, the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center, the Center for Constitutional Rights, Alternative Chance and the Loyola Law Clinic and Center for Social Justice, argues that deporting people at this moment to Haiti, which is still reeling from the devastating January 2010 earthquake and is burdened with a massive cholera epidemic, political unrest, and rampant street violence, will result in serious human rights violations, including deprivations of the rights to life, family, and due process, and freedom from cruel or unusual punishment.

Stephane's home office – an Ikea project
During my years in Ikea I have participated in, and created, a number of home decoration designs. Unfortunately I am not allowed to show most of them in this portfolio. Nevertheless here is a project of a home office I created. This is the story I wrote as a starting base for the design:
One september day on the beach in Tarifa I met Stephane, a young architect who was born in Paris but lived in Madrid. It was cold in the wind, but the beach was irresistable with it's colors, and it's unusual calm. Stephane wore a grey wool jumper, slim black trousers, a sailor-striped scarf and round glasses. He looked like a modern version of the classic french man.
As he told me about his projects I couldn't help but imagine him in a corner of his living room in Madrid surrounded by his favourite objects. A modern space, yet with a timeless touch, masculine, but with a young look. A functional place where he would create big and small projects and always look great.
Dream living room. – an Ikea project
December 2013. This is another Ikea Project, and part of the portfolio sent to the Ikea Interior Design Masterclass. I was asked to deliver in an idea for a dream living room, so I mixed my favorite Ikea pieces with some "friends". This is the story I created as a base for the design:
"I want it to be like living in Tom Ford" said my friend Jennie with excitement when she hired me to design her living room. I immediately identified with the style. "Oh yes! Sophisticated, but cool, with high level of fashion and design". "Strict… but with heart. "I am jealous" I exclaimed. "It sounds like my dream living room! Those parties you love to throw will become unforgettable! Let's put a chimney in the middle, giving warmth to the both the dining area and the relax area. We will use sophisticated furniture and the colors will be a mix of strict and cute. Jennie, you will love "our" dream living room!
Loft in Madrid – February 2011
Home of Noelia and Aymar. She is an entrepreneur, he is an artist. The objective was to transform a cold and complicated space into a warm and enjoyable loft. She needed a place to work, he needed a place to exhibit his art, and they both wanted a space to entertain. Do not miss the "before" photos at the bottom!
In order to appreciate the change, please look at the "before" photos.
Decoracción anual exhibition in Madrid, 2010 edition.
"Mudanza" ("The move"), art and design installation on the façade of Vinci Soho Hotel in Madrid. The curtains are made of more than 2000 meters of red corrugated tube, held together by 16 meters of brass bars. We have created a "move" on a vertical scene by introducing furniture covered by blankets and held by ropes and pulleys.
Academic projects – IADE Design School, Madrid
Some of these school projects are individual, some of them are team projects. In all projects we were given an empty floor plan and some requirements as a starting base. From there we had to deliver a full project within a strict deadline. In the portfolio I have excluded technical plans, only showing the creative part of the projects.
Project for Juanjo Oliva, individual project, june 2010.
Boutique, workshop and personal residence for spanish fashion designer Juanjo Oliva. The design is inspiered by the sixties art movement called Op Art (Optical art).
When the viewer looks at op art works, the impression is given of movement, hidden images, flashing and vibration, patterns, or alternatively, of swelling or warping. I wanted the boutique to have a side to it that would not go unnoticed, hence that front view, but in order not to saturate the visitor the view from the back is made white to give the eye some rest.
For a better understanding the project please look at the presentation collages where you will find the floor plans.
Mercado de la Paz, March 2010. Award winning project! 2ond price in Porcelnosa design Competition.
In the heart of the Madrid neighborhood called "Barrio Salamanca" there is an old, emblematic food market called Mercado de la Paz. We were asked to propose a design to renovate the classic old market. The designs were to enter a competition, so originality was a main focus.
We decided to go for the concept of a Spanish fifties- style comic book called "Tebeo", creating a fun and space that reflects the local popular culture. The stands in the market are designed like comic strips, the light fixtures are like speech bubbles and the market signs are made to express dialogues and thoughts.
Bakery in Mercado de la Paz, March 2010. Team project
This particular stand is a bakery located in the Mercado de la Paz. It actually sticks out of the façade so it is partly outdoors. We have played with a "biting effect" on the counter, making a playful wink at the comic book theme of the market. In that over size "bite" is the display of breads and pastries.
Spa Project, March 2009. Award winning project! Winner of "Most innovative design", Interior design competition "Ceramics of Spain" by ASCER.
The inspiration for the design comes from the idea of energy flows that are created in a spa; rounded shapes, light cicuits, glossy finish with a futuristic look.
Nursery Project, december 2009.
A nursery for children aged 0 – 3 years, with the pinball game as an inspirational theme. The design is playful and modern with special enphasis on rounded shapes, the diagonal line, and transparent, glossy materials. Colour plays a special role in creating an exciting interior. We chose to work with purple, green and orange, alternating the colour saturation to create a sense of movement. Team work with María Pérez and Daniel Payá.

Pinch hitter John Gatlin's single into short right field over a pulled-in, five-man infield in the bottom of the ninth inning gave Mississippi a 2-1 victory over Texas Tech in a College World Series elimination game Tuesday.
The exciting finish came after Texas Tech had tied it in the top of the ninth.
Ole Miss (47-20) plays TCU or Virginia Thursday. The Red Raiders (45-20) went 0-2 in their first CWS.
Ole Miss won after Colby Bortles walked with one out. Brantley Bell hit a comebacker to Smith, who tried to force out Bortles at second. But he threw high into center field, allowing Bortles to go to third.
Dominic Moreno came on to face Gatlin, with Texas Tech shifting an extra player to the left side of the infield and going with only two outfielders. Gatlin punched a 1-2 pitch over second base, and the celebration was on.

They're man's best friend. But could what we feed them actually make them sick. Debbie Brookham, Founder of Furry Friends in Colorado Springs says yes.
"We're spending billions of dollars on pet food that are creating disease processes in our pets", said Debbie Brookham.
She says over the past decade there's been an increase in pet illnesses' caused by lack of nutrition.
"We're seeing diabetes, we're seeing awful teeth, we're seeing lots of gastric problems [and] lots of allergies", Debbie Brookham.
But these problems can be corrected.
"So you really want to read those ingredients. You want to avoid the by-products...the sugar, the wheat the corn, the soy", said Debbie Brookham.
And don't forget about the treats.
"Don't feed the crummy treats. The treats are just as bad. So look at those ingredients", Debbie Brookham.
Many pet owners say feeding their pets healthier foods is important. But some worry about the cost. A thirty- pound bag of dry dog food can cost anywhere from $45 to $55 dollars. But there may be some hidden money-savers.
"There are more calories per cup in a nutrient rich food than in an off the shelf brand. It means you're going to feed less to your dog or cat; they're going to absorb those nutrients and be healthier", Debbie Brookham.
Absorbing more nutrients means a happier pet.
"You watch the noticeable difference you'll have in behavior, in how they eat, [and] their deposits in the back yard will be much smaller which is a way big plus", said Debbie Brookham.

text: Quoth Tim McDaniel: > (BTW, I was surprised to learn that "Celt" is basically a > way-post-period concept.) Only certain usages are. According to the OED s.v. Celt, the term being used to apply "to the ancient peoples of Western Europe, called by the Greek <Keltoi>, <Keltai>, and by the Romans <Celtae>", dates to 1607: 1607 TOPSELL Four-f. Beasts 251 "The Indians were wont to use no bridles, like the Græcians and Celts." The use of the term as "a general name applied in modern times to peoples speaking languages akin to those of the ancient Galli, including the Bretons in France, the Cornish, Welsh, Irish, Manx, and Gaelic of the British Isles," the OED does say that this "modern use began in French, and in reference to the language and people of Brittany, as the presumed representatives of the ancient Gauls: with the recognition of linguistic affinities it was extended to the Cornish and Welsh, and so to the Irish, Manx, and Scottish Gaelic. CELTIC has thus become a name for one of the great branches of the Aryan family of languages (see CELTIC); and the name Celt has come to be applied to any one who speaks (or is descended from those who spoke) any Celtic language." -Aryanhwy -- vita sine literis mors est http://www.ellipsis.cx/~liana/

Grand Opening of Emerson & Son Music Store this Saturday!
Uptown musicians will now have a place to shop for their accessories and supplies a little closer to home. Husband and wife team, Frankie and Louise are excited to open their new business on Oak Street which will sell instruments including, guitars, keyboards, organs and music accessories for just about everything. Their goal is to make quality products available locally so customers no longer have to drive across town or shop online for their music needs.
Emerson & Son will provide an emergency hotline to artists that find themselves in a last-minute bind. Frankie, who is a guitarist in the psychedelic band Brian Jonestown Massacre, wants to make their business available after hours to musicians that perform at nearby venues like The Maple Leaf Bar. He knows from experience that this is a unique service that is needed but never available.
They will also sell an eclectic variety of vintage items ranging from "The Nightmare Before Christmas" collectibles, Andy Warhol Campbell Soup cans, and an array of vinyl records. Louise says, "Whenever our friends visit New Orleans from out of town they either ask about a music store or a vintage shop." By combining the two, they hope to offer a convenience for music and vintage enthusiasts alike in the Carrollton neighborhood which they adore.
Frankie and Louise have been in New Orleans for 3 ½ years and love living in the Oak Street area. They are proud to now become merchants on the neighborhood street that has something for everyone. Their 2 year- old son, Django, was born in their Pigeontown home and is already showing signs for his love of music through singing. You will probably be greeted by him and his smile during your visit to their family-owned and operated store.
Emerson & Son's grand opening is this Saturday, December 1st from 10am to 6pm. Their regular business hours will be Monday-Saturday from 10am to 6pm with an emergency hotline available for musicians into late night hours. They are located at 8725 Oak Street next to Salon Alphonse. For inquiries, call them at 504-866-6929. You can also visit their Facebook page for more information.

suggestion for tonight?
We will be attending a concert tonight at 4th and Chestnut.
Any suggestions for a casual place for dinner?
We don't prefer Mexican or Indian.
Anything else is okay, including pizza.
What about Jones for comfort food. Not fancy but deli-like.
I think it's at 7th & Chestnut. Not sure.
re: Buckethead
I second Khyber, although it could be pretty busy on a Friday night, and it can be pretty loud.
If it were me I would go to Khyber Pass too.
Red Owl, restaurant in the new Hotel Monaco at 5th & Chestnut is not bad (a bit overpriced IMO). Bistro 7 on 3rd St (BYOB) is supposed to be pretty good but I have not tried it.
Close by at 433 Chestnut Street, The Red Owl Tavern seems to be getting the entire range of reviews on their food, very good to disappointing. Comments concerning venue (rooms with a view) and service seem consistently good. Love to hear your thought on the place.
re: kagoo
Between 2nd and 3rd on Chestnut is Amada which is always excellent. On 4th and Chestnut is Buddakan which can be interesting. Chloe is good and doesn't take reservations. Red Owl was OK but somewhat disappointing. You've got a zillion restaurants on Chestnut between Front and 2nd, including Han Dynasty and Zento, both excellent.
Thanks so much for all the suggestions.
We ended up eating at home!
But we go to concerts at the Philosophical Society (on Chestnut between 4th and 5th) frequently, and it was good to know about all the possibilities nearby.
I'm sure we will make use of the information.

However, the system still has a few kinks that need to be addressed before installation -- for example, in an ideal system, every tracked face and motion activity should be blurred using a "reversible encryption" to enable future investigations if needed. That way, subject to policy (and perhaps subpoena), a person's anonymity can be reversed in a narrowly-focused way to solve crime and/or prove innocence.

Jurors who found Jamaul Herman not guilty of murder on Wednesday told a prosecutor there was not enough evidence to convince them he pulled the trigger on Jerome Timmons on July 4, 2010.
Juror Evan Bissonette said after the six-day trial that a key to his doubt was the change in eyewitness testimony from the time of the crime to the trial.
"If you don't know then, it's hard to believe that a year and a half later all of the sudden you know exactly who it is," he said.
Bissonette spoke briefly with a Chattanooga Times Free Press reporter after he and seven other jurors talked with prosecutor Bret Alexander outside the courtroom late Wednesday afternoon.
A female juror who asked not to be identified said she was uncertain throughout the trial whether Herman was the shooter.
Jurors deliberated for more than 10 hours Tuesday and Wednesday and reached a verdict just before 5 p.m. They found Herman not guilty of first-degree murder and reckless endangerment, but guilty of evading arrest for running from police afterward.
Herman could be sentenced to between one and six years on that charge. He has convictions for aggravated robbery, drug possession, aggravated burglary and theft dating back to 2001.
Prosecutors Alexander and Charlie Minor attempted to prove that Timmons, 31, was running from The Palace nightclub and crossing Glass Street when Herman, 29, shot him once in the back of the head.
Prosecution witnesses Kosha Cosey, Darlene Battle and Eugene Orr testified early in the trial that they saw Herman fire the handgun.
But defense attorneys Mary Sullivan Moore and Luke Neder attacked the police investigation and 911 recordings in which Cosey and Battle said shortly after the shooting that they didn't know who fired the shot.
"There wasn't enough proof to show the identity of the shooter and that the shooter was Mr. Herman," Moore said after the trial.
Minor commended Battle and Cosey, who followed Herman as he drove away and called 911. Police pursued and arrested Herman after a car and foot chase.
Timmons' relatives crowded the courtroom throughout the trial. Waiting Wednesday for the verdict, they remembered his life.
He led the Howard High School band as the drum major for two years before graduating in 1997. His three children, nieces and nephews share his love of music and dance.
"I don't agree with the verdict, but you reap what you sow and what he's sown, he has to live with," said Vanessa Suttles, Timmons' sister. "I still believe he's the one."

New plans for $450M downtown office tower over railroad tracks on river
BY DAVID ROEDER Staff Reporter August 1, 2013 1:03AM
Site of a planned 53-story office building and a park on the west side of the Chicago River between Lake and Randolph. | David Roeder~Sun-Times

Updated: September 3, 2013 7:12AM
Developers and engineers with a background in high-rise deal-making and problem-solving have released plans for an office tower and a park covering an empty riverfront block downtown from Lake to Randolph streets.
The estimated $450 million project involves building over commuter railroad tracks that serve Union Station. The tracks, plus city-owned land that slices through the 2.5-acre parcel, pose complications that have kept the site near Boeing Co.'s headquarters vacant for more than 50 years.
John O'Donnell, principal of O'Donnell Investment Co., said his team has figured out how to add a 53-story building to the site while providing a public park and riverwalk. He said about 75 percent of the site will be landscaped and the building will be placed on the site's northeast portion, improving views for tenants and preserving those of neighbors.
O'Donnell bought a portion of the site more than a year ago for $12.5 million and owns air rights to build over the tracks, which are the property of Amtrak. He has yet to finalize terms with the city over its portion. O'Donnell is requesting no public subsidy.
Downtown Ald. Brendan Reilly (42nd), who has haggled with O'Donnell over the project for almost two years, was sufficiently satisfied with the latest redesign to allow O'Donnell to start showing it to community groups. The project's first public review was Wednesday night, part of a road-show process the city asks of developers who need a zoning change for large-scale construction.
"We worked very hard here to create a sense of place, something very special," O'Donnell said. He said that under a previous landowner, a zoning deal called for two residential high-rises on the property.
"I didn't want to put two buildings there," O'Donnell said. "I wanted it to be more open and to beautify something that frankly is a blight."
He said work can proceed without disrupting train schedules. Once it's finished, noise and pollution from the trains will be substantially reduced, O'Donnell said.
His message is aimed at residents of the 165 N. Canal condo building, which has balconies looking out onto the site. Its occupants have for years been concerned about losing sunlight and views because of new construction.
The plans would give them a park that slopes toward the water and covers a parking garage for 81 cars, a relatively small allotment that reflects the project's emphasis on public transit.
Working with architectural firm Goettsch Partners, O'Donnell is touting a design that maximizes the distance between his building and the condo neighbors. It's 122 feet, equivalent to the width of Wacker Drive or Michigan Avenue in separation, O'Donnell said. A representative of the condo building's management declined to comment.
He said Goettsch produced "an elegant design" in response to the site's challenges. It included a 100-foot-tall lobby, a glass façade with a rippled texture that's supposed to mimic the river, and a tapered base. The building appears to stand on slender core supports.
When an interviewer suggested people might wonder how it stays up, O'Donnell smiled and replied, "That's why I hired the best structural engineers in the world."
Magnusson Klemencic Associates and Thornton Tomasetti Inc., which have worked on supertall buildings around the world, plan for supports driven 120 feet into the earth to support the structure.
But it also will need support from a strong downtown economy. O'Donnell said that even if the city grants zoning approval, he can't start construction until he signs leases for about a quarter of the 1.2 million square feet.
For that task, he's working with Drew Nieman, senior vice president of U.S. Equities Realty. The two men teamed for years at the John Buck Co. to build and fill new buildings downtown.
Nieman said the building's design and surroundings will give it prestige appeal for the law, financial or consulting firms that often anchor such new projects. He said that while the building will command premium rents per square foot, incoming tenants will save money.
"The trend today is to fit more people in less space in workplaces. The space per employee has been shrinking by 20 to 35 percent," he said.
The project is using the vanity address of 150 N. Riverside Plaza, which city officials have approved despite concerns in past years about emergency response. The regular street address is 400 W. Randolph.
O'Donnell said he hopes to start construction by mid-2014 and be open a couple years later. That would put him close on the heels of a new office building planned at 444 W. Lake, near the O'Donnell site.
The two competitors both would be near the spot where the Chicago River divides into branches. The long-term Wolf Point development site also is there, meaning the stretch could become a showplace for modern architecture and planning.

Barry Callebaut will this week launch a new probiotic confectionery bar, claiming that chocolate is a better carrier of intestinal 'good' bacteria than more traditional dairy products.
The new product is the latest one released by the Switzerland-based company as part of its strategy to create a healthier chocolate bar. Sales of "traditional" chocolate are dropping because of an unhealthy and fatty image. The product, set to be launched at the Food Ingredients Europe show in London this week, contains probiotic micro-organisms that restore the pH balance of the intestines, the company claims. "Probiotics are widely thought to aid in restoring the balance of the intestinal flora, providing protection against infection while improving metabolism," said Hans Vriens, chief innovation officer at Barry Callebaut. In order to create probiotic chocolate on an industrial scale, the company had to develop a production method that did not destroy either the probiotics or the taste or texture of the product, Vriens explained. "The challenge is to ensure the survival and activity of the orally ingested microorganisms within the harsh environment of the human digestive tract," he said. The company cooperated with functional food company Lallemand to create the technology. The venture involved using two specific bacteria strains, and a patented micro-encapsulation technology, branded as Probiocap, already developed by Lallemand. "The patented Probiocap technology involves applying a protective shield around the probiotic bacteria, ensuring their survival in the digestive tract and thus optimal activity in the gut, their site of action." said Bruno Delattre, business director at Lal'foods, a subsidiary of Lallemand. The production method is so effective, Vriens claimed, that the chocolate-embedded probiotics had significantly higher survival rates than those in milk based carriers, when tested on simulations of the human stomach and small intestine. In fact, the tests suggested that probiotics in chocolate are four times less likely to perish on digestion, he added, and so a consumer would only need to eat 13.5g of the product per day. Probiotics are bacteria commonly added to food products, as manufacturers claim that they can help improve both gut and immune health. They are commonly added to dairy products, such as yoghurts of milk drinks, because the chilled conditions needed to store them creates an ideal habitat for the bacteria. However, data drawn from Mintel's Global New Products Database (GNDP) in Febuary from Mintel suggests that manufacturers are increasingly investigating ways to boost probiotic survival and make them suitable for use in other product types. Listings in the GNDP of confectionery products containing "healthy" bacteria such as probiotics went from one in 2004 to 11 in 2006. The number of functional snack products went from zero in 2004 to 25 in 2006, while new baby food products containing probiotic, prebiotic or symbiotic bacterial jumped up from three in 2002 to 27 in 2006.
Other additions Barry Callebaut's healthy chocolate portfolio include Acticoa, an antioxidant rich cocoa.

Plant Problem Diagnostics
When growing greenhouse crops, it is important to know what disease you are trying to prevent or control. When diseases are not successfully controlled or become recurring problems, it is often because the cause was not accurately identified.
The UMass Plant Diagnostic Lab routinely uses microscopic and laboratory identification of fungi, bacteria, viruses and nematodes. Samples can be hand-delivered (if possible) or sent overnight mail, UPS, or Federal Express.
Along with your sample include:
A completed Vegetable & Floriculture Diagnostic submission form for each specimen. Be as complete as possible; accurate diagnosis depends on sufficient information about cultural practices and environmental conditions. Collect specimens that show a range of symptoms, avoiding rotted or decayed specimens. Please avoid Friday samples.
There is also a fee ($50) per specimen payable to the University of Massachusetts and the fee must accompany each sample. Upon reaching a conclusion, the lab will send or email a report on the diagnosis including complete management guidelines emphasizing cultural and biorational controls as well as chemical control options.
Soil Testing
The University of Massachusetts Extension Greenhouse Crops and Floriculture program recognizes the importance of reliable and prompt diagnosis of plant problems in greenhouse production.
A soil test is important for several reasons: To optimize crop production; to protect the environment from contamination by runoff and leaching of excess fertilizers; to aid in the diagnosis of plant culture problems; to improve the nutritional balance of the growing media; and to save money and conserve energy by applying only the amount of fertilizer needed. Pre- plant media analyses provide an indication of potential nutrient deficiencies, pH imbalance or excess soluble salts. This is particularly important for growers who mix their own media. Media testing during the growing season is an important tool for managing crop nutrition and soluble salts levels.
The UMass Soil and Plant Tissue Testing Laboratory uses saturated paste extraction method (SME) of testing soilless greenhouse media. In this test a paste is made using soil and water and then the liquid portion (the extract) is separated from the solid portion for pH, soluble salt, and nutrient analysis.

Olympic Worthy Snacks
In honor the London 2012 Olympics, here's some tasty (and healthy) snacks to nosh on while you watch world-class athletes compete over the next two weeks.
July 30th, 2012 | 5:05 PM
As the Olympics open we are all prompted to reflect on our own athletic pasts; however embarrassing or glorified. Like many kids, my professional athletic career started with soccer at the age of five. I took to the field ready to obliterate my opponents, or at least remember not to pick the ball up. Soccer is a wonderful sport, and in my time I think I was successful at missing every finer point of the sport. But I was always focused on the chief aspect of the game – half-time snacks.
Whether your little one is swimming lengths or hitting the links; they need fuel. And no self-respecting mom wants to have "the bad snack" when it's their turn to feed the Olympic hopefuls. Here are some new spins on those tried and true snacks, along with simple switches to make your version truly tournament-worthy.
Fruit S'mores
Having a hard time convincing the kiddos that fruit is fun? They'll be coming back for seconds when you make snacks interactive. Cut up strawberries, kiwis, apple slices, pineapple, watermelon, and grapes — then throw in some marshmallows all into different bowls. Then have everyone pick out their favorites and make color patterns. Put them on a wooden kabob stick and – voila! – fruit is suddenly a little more tasty. To discourage browning on the apples, apply lemon or lime juice to the slices. The acid dispels the browning enzyme and you can dilute it 3 parts water to 1 part juice to avoid the acidic flavor.
Ants on a Log
This snack has been a way to trick children into eating celery for years and with so many different spreads to choose from you can really mix it up. Put out peanut butter, cream cheese and Nutella along with a variety of toppings like raisins, cranberries, or chocolate chips. Mix and match accordingly!
Yogurt Delights
For a refreshing dessert that is also healthy whip up some Yogurt Delights. It's easy — take some Greek yogurt and make a base in a small cup, then layer it with fruits like oranges or raspberries. After each layer add another layer of yogurt. Add a garnish to the top (chocolate shavings round it out nicely) then settle in to watch some gymnastics or swimming!
What are some of your favorite go to healthy snacks? We'd love to know!

Recently, you received your official 2010 U.S. Census form.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that for every person that is not counted, Westbury will lose more than $2,000 per year (or a staggering $20,000 per person over the next ten years) in grants and aid. That will cost Westbury millions and millions of dollars for our schools, senior and youth centers, roadways and other important services and projects. That would be a lot of money for us to lose out on, but fortunately we do not have to, as full and complete count is totally within our control.
I am urging each and every Westbury resident to cooperate fully in the Census 2010 process. Please, fill out your census form on time, send it in, and respond to any follow-up that is sent to you. Do not exclude persons that you think should not be counted, as everyone should be counted as long as they are residing in your home. If you do not respond, do not be surprised if someone comes and knocks on your door.
One final note on Census 2010: Residents should be assured that, by federal law, any information that you provide to the U.S. Census Bureau is completely confidential and cannot be disclosed for any other reason, and the penalties for disclosure by the Census Bureau or its employees are very steep. No one needs to be afraid to participate or to be as accurate in their information as possible.
So, please, fill out your census form today. It is important for our community.

Saving Treatable Pets - From Skeptic to Believer
May 2011
Recommended Audience: All
There's nothing like actually doing something to convince you that it can be done! That's what Erie County, New York, found out when they set out to save all their community's treatable pets, and saved 65 percent of them in a single year. Cats with chronic urinary tract infections, pets with diabetes - and yes, a paraplegic pit bull. They did it, and so can you.

Under her direction, the organization has gone from a live release rate of 25% in 1993 to 77% in 2010, the year in which the shelter adopted all of its healthy animals and 91% of its treatables. Barbara's leadership prompted Maddie's Fund to award her community a grant that has paid out $1.5M so far.

I swam 100 yards in 1:14!
Yes, it's true. I really did swim 100 yards that fast. Last week on Thursday, September 30th. It was so unbelievable that neither the coach nor I actually believed at first that I did it. And I'm not sure when I'll be able to do it again, but I sure want to so much.
Normally I swim my 100s on about the order of 1:50 plus or minus a bit. Depends on how fatigued I am and how hard I'm trying. The week before my Malibu Triathlon during my taper week, I did swim some 100s on September 7th in 1:38, 1:37, 1:40 and 1:47. That 1:37 was my fastest ever until last week. I have gotten around 1:40-1:41 a number of times in the past month.
100 Pushups?
So here is an interesting website with a pushups program:
Maybe after the marathon I should consider doing this? Similar in concept to the beginning running program I did, as well as the "swim a mile" program I did. Basically, start out at a low number of pushups, do workouts three times per week to do more pushups, increasing at a slow number per week. Eventually you can do 100 pushups. Might take longer than 6 weeks, but hey…probably not much longer. Depends on whether you have difficulties and have to repeat any weeks. You're still getting stronger in any case.

By PAUL NEWBERRY
AP National Writer
LONDON (AP) - China is still the powerhouse of Olympic diving.
But ever so slowly, the rest of the world is catching up.
Just ask American David Boudia, who's leaving London with a gold medal around his neck.
Showing the Chinese can be defeated, Boudia pulled off a stunning upset of Qiu Bo in 10-meter platform Saturday on the final night of competition at the Olympic Aquatics Centre, giving the United States its first diving gold since the 2000 Sydney Games.
"This shows the world is coming after China," Boudia said. "They're not as dominant anymore."
Still better than anyone else, for sure. The Chinese captured six of the eight diving golds in London, but that was actually a dropoff from their seven golds in 2008. Again, they were denied a sweep of every event, which has become their daunting standard.
"Pressure is a strange thing," said Lin Yue, who finished sixth on the platform. "You can't really see it, but sometimes you do feel it."
Boudia was as calm as can be. Flipping and twisting off the big tower on his final dive, Boudia ripped through the water and received the best total score of any dive in the competition, just enough to edge Qiu by 1.80 points.
It was the closest finish in men's platform since Greg Louganis won the last of his gold medals in 1988, and the first diving gold for an American man since the late Mark Lenzi won on springboard in Barcelona _ two long decades ago.
"This is so surreal right now," Boudia said. "I'm in disbelief."
So was Qiu, who pulled off a final dive that was nearly as brilliant as Boudia's, but only good enough for silver. The defending world champion and overwhelming Olympic favorite turned his back to the scoreboard when he saw the final standings, hiding his face _ and clear disappointment _ against the wall.
"I am still young," the 19-year-old silver medalist said. "I will be back in four years time."
Qiu dismissed any suggestion that the Chinese are slipping.
"The result today will not affect our plan for the future," he said through an interpreter. "I believe the Chinese diving team is the best. Nothing could challenge me, nothing could challenge the Chinese team. We are the strongest diving team."
Louganis, who was estranged from USA Diving for years, has come back on board as an athlete mentor, passing along the wisdom and experience of a four-time gold medalist, not to mention being a very visible reminder of an era when the U.S. _ not China _ dominated the sport.
"We're headed in the right direction," Louganis said. "We still have a long way to go."
China won a total of 10 medals, more than twice as many as the U.S., the next country on the list with four. But the Americans were giddy about their performance after being shut out in both Athens and Beijing. Their new high-performance director, Steve Foley, put an increased focus on the synchronized events, a strategy that paid off with a silver and two bronzes.
Then came a finale that no one could've expected, especially when Boudia barely squeaked through the preliminaries in 18th place.
He was at his best when it really counted, hardly looking like a guy who was once "completely petrified" to dive off the big tower.
"After Beijing, I finally told myself, 'All right, this isn't so hard,'" Boudia said. "It's only three stories up. Having more practice and more training on the 10-meter, and just having that peace, it doesn't faze me now. It's cool."
He sure looked cool in the final round.
The crowd favorite, Tom Daley of Britain, led Boudia and Qiu by a scant 0.15 points going to the final round. But Daley knew it would be hard to hold them both off, since the degree of difficulty on his last dive wasn't as high as the others.
"I was just diving for a medal," he said.
Daley had the place rockin' when he received a perfect 10 from one judge, and 9.0 to 9.5 from the others. But, as it turned out, he was right about the outcome. Boudia's marks were nearly as good on his back 2 1/2 somersault with 2 1/2 twists in a pike position, leaving him with 102.60 points for the round and 568.65 overall.
Assured of at least a silver, the American had to sweat it out with Qiu going last. The final dive of the competition was stunning as well, but a slight splash on the entry left Qiu with 100.80 points for his dive _ and 566.85 total.

A fertility expert believes that every father should give his daughter a unique graduation present egg freezing. This interesting and unusual gift could help give women, who are postponing parenthood until later in life, the chance to have a baby when the time is right for them. Its a ridiculous suggestion because not all women wait until their late 30s before starting a family, but will this back up plan merely give a false sense of security, that by freezing their eggs they can afford to put off motherhood?
Egg freezing should be every father's graduation present to his daughter, claims leading fertility expert | Mail Online
I would be nervous about freezing eggs for more than 10 years. Is there any evidence to suggest that the eggs will be viable after this amount of time? And surely this might give women the false hope that they can cheat their biological clock by having the choice of using their eggs in their late 30s. What happens if they are ready to have a baby and find that they cannot carry their child because of their age? Besides a lot of women start their families in their thirties. A lot of my friends had their children in their mid to late 30s. In fact, one friend has just had her first child at the age of 38. What I resent about all this talk about women not getting the message about having children earlier in their lives is that this is a lot easier said than done. Yes, there are women who want to have a career before settling down or starting a family, but there are women out there who would love to have a family but have not yet met Mr Right, not Mr Perfect because he does not exist, the man who is right for them and also wants to settle down and start a family. These men are few and far between it seems.
