Raw Energy: Green is your friend
By Brenda Richter
Why do we eat? Responses may vary, and they include: hunger, fuel for energy, nourishment or enjoyment. Many of us lose sight of the primary reason to eat, which is for nourishment and energy.
Greens play an important role, and many of us do not get enough greens into our diet, particularly leafy greens.
Green, leafy vegetables are important for a number of reasons. They are a great source of chlorophyll, which helps you become healthier, have better skin and often is thought to detoxify the blood. Green, leafy vegetables have the highest percentage of minerals per calorie of any other class of food, and also have the fewest number of calories.
A number of options can help you incorporate more greens into your diet. Green juices, green smoothies, green, leafy salads, and green salad dressings are just a sampling of options.
Fresh is best for both nutritional value and for taste. Nutritional value decreases as time lapses. If making your own, using a juicer that operates at low speeds and temperatures is ideal for keeping essential nutrients and enzymes. Adding lemon or half an apple is often a great way to enjoy your green juice even more. Try kale, parsley, cucumber, celery and carrot.
Green smoothies are fast and easy to make using a blender. Try starting with 60 percent fruit and 40 percent greens. Using a mango, banana and a handful of spinach is a tasty and hearty smoothie, and is beautifully green. The more greens you include in your smoothie, the better, so keep increasing those greens to your smoothie to your desired taste. Try it. Many are surprised how delicious and satisfying it is, simply a bonus to being good for you.
The possibilities of a salad are endless. Vary your greens in a salad. Use spinach, romaine, arugula and mixed greens. Iceberg lettuce has very little nutritional value, and any other leafy green is ideal. If you get bored with salads, change up your toppings and keep it to two to three toppings per salad for daily, weekly or monthly variety. Try marinating the greens such as kale or collards. This is a great alternative to cooking or sautéing them, and also makes them tender and delicious.

Three-fourths opt for breast-conserving treatments instead, study finds,,
TUESDAY, Oct. 13 (HealthDay News) -- Contrary to common belief, most women diagnosed with breast cancer are not turning to mastectomy as their first choice for treatment but are first trying more conservative approaches, such as lumpectomy, a new survey has found.
The survey, reported in the Oct. 14 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, also found that U.S. doctors are doing a good job of presenting newly diagnosed breast cancer patients with a range of treatment options.
The researchers found that those women who did opt for mastectomy instead of breast-conserving surgery often did so because of their own preference and probably because of the perception that mastectomy offered better odds against the cancer coming back.
However, "the chances of surviving breast cancer are the same whether you have a lumpectomy or a mastectomy," noted the study's lead author, Dr. Monica Morrow, chief of the breast service and chairwoman of clinical oncology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York City.
"There's an overwhelming feeling that somehow 'bigger' surgery is better surgery," Morrow said. "It's something I hear over and over again: 'I want to be safe so I will have the mastectomy.' "
The researchers wrote in their report that they undertook the study because there's been a perception that women have been given mastectomies unnecessarily, when breast-conserving surgery might have been an option.
The team reviewed data from the U.S. National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results registries in Los Angeles and Detroit. They included data on 1,984 women with intraductal, stage 1 or stage 2 breast cancer who completed a telephone survey about their experience with cancer surgery.
The women, 20 to 79 years old, included 953 women who listed their race

Policy on Nashua kindergarten early enrollment pondered
The absence of a policy became an issue when Myra and Elias Nikitas approached the district about allowing their son Andreas to enter kindergarten early. School policy requires that a child must be 5 years old as of Sept. 30 to enter kindergarten, but Andreas doesn't turn 5 until October.
"The (Nikitas) approached me and asked for early admission based upon their belief that their son is ready. Since we don't have a policy regarding early enrollment, I didn't think I have the authority to enroll students early," Conrad said.
Conrad said he asked the Nikitas to address the board's policy committee meeting and state their case. After the Nikitas met with the policy committee earlier this week, the board instructed Conrad to examine the possibility of creating an early enrollment policy.
Thomas Vaughan, chairman of the policy committee, said during Wednesday's meeting that the district should look into creating a policy so the district has the ability to address parents' concerns in a more thoughtful way.
Conrad said he wasn't necessarily asked to create a policy, just to examine whether it would make sense to create one and, if it does, to create an outline as to what that policy would look like.
The district does have a policy that allows parents to apply for early enrollment for their children to go into first grade. Conrad said that it involves an employee evaluating the prospective student to see whether they are prepared.
While saying a potential kindergarten policy wouldn't necessarily mirror the first-grade policy, Conrad said any early enrollment process for kindergarten would have to ensure that a child is socially, emotionally and academically prepared for the classroom.
"It is tougher to evaluate younger children because of their age, but I will talk to members of elementary school and pre-school to see if we can't come up with something," Conrad said.
Conrad added that if the district creates an early enrollment plan, it won't have a large impact on the district.
"That was the concern when we came up with a plan for first grade, and it hasn't impacted the district very much," Conrad said.
After the district devises a plan, which there is no timeline for, Conrad said it would be presented to the board.

Miss Valentine gets second SW of 2012
Friday, November 16, 2012 |
Posted for
Afleet Alex
Miss Valentine prevails in the Chase the Dream S.
Afleet Alex's 4-year-old daughter Miss Valentine scored a fifth career stakes tally at Aqueduct on Friday, coming from off the pace in the $80,000 Chase the Dream S. for fillies and mares. Miss Valentine is one of ten stakes horses in 2012 by Afleet Alex, with eight of the ten either having earned black type at least twice this year.
Breaking from the rail, Miss Valentine let the speed go to the front and settled in the back of the five horse field. Joel Rosario asked his mount to pick up the pace outside the quarter pole, going four wide into the final quarter mile. Miss Valentine wore down the front-running Beautiful But Blue inside the final furlong, edging away to win by a length and a quarter. The final time for one mile over the fast main track was 1:39 flat.
A Waterville Lake Stable's homebred trained by Christophe Clement, Miss Valentine is now 4-for-6 at the one-mile distance and has earned $371,500 with a career record of 6-5-1 in 17 starts.
In her juvenile campaign in 2010, Miss Valentine captured her Belmont debut in October 2010 before going on to win the Swirlaway S. and finish second in the East View.
The following year, Miss Valentine won the Serena's Song S. at Monmouth and Mom's Command S. at Belmont and also ran second in the Grade 3 Monmouth Oaks. This April she won Aqueduct's $75,000 Northern Willy S.
Foaled at Berkshire Stud in Pine Plains, New York, Miss Valentine is one of five winners in as many foals to start out of the multiple black type-placed Gilded Time mare Miss Yiayia ($175,970). She is also the dam of Thunder Chief, by Thunder Gulch ($164,930). Her last reported foal is a 2-year-old colt by Tapit.

An A-1 smooth pink little ass like that and nobody has commented. How can that be? I can't take my eyes off Karel frontal or back-al. I hope the lad works well with others because I'd love to see that bubbly little fanny stuffed with all kinds of things. Thanks, Maestro, for this very erotic Erotic Solo.Reply to this post

Julius Cesta - EROTIC SOLO - 09/04/2012
Oh sweet mother of pearl would you look at the ass on that toothsome sunshine ray! Would a long, slow, probing exploration of those creamy smooth moons count as a giant leap for mankind? And the front's right purty, too. Julius is a keeper but it looks like he got away. It would have been fun seeing him in duos. Ah, well...Reply to this post
I agree with AvidViewer: a flip-flop with Honza and Jan would be outta sight. But I think that Honza's forte is bottoming. This was a great set and I wish Honza would do more. Lordy but I love that man...Reply to this post

Honza Solar - EROTIC SOLO - 10/02/2012
I just discovered Honza and I have to say that he is drop-dead gorgeous. At first I thought this set showed a smoldering sexuality but I was wrong: Honza doesn't smolder he burns. This is a long set but I wish it were twice as long -- I can't get enough of this man. It has been a year since his drooly Full Contact set with Jan Sadecky and that's way too long. The camera and I both love Honza -- please bring him back! Great set -- great model. Thanks, Maestro.Reply to this post

Lukas Wert - CASTING - 12/08/2012
Wow! Are Adam and David 1)two straight guys having fantastic sex & loving it, or 2)two gay guys having the best sex ever and letting us watch. I vote for number 2. You can't fake what these guys do and they were having too much fun and doing it all perfectly. They really love the kissing(me too), and David has the perfect cock for butt-fucking, and Adam is a magnificent power bottom; he loves to get fucked. This scene gets a 10+ on a 10 scale. I'm still sweating.Reply to this post
OMG -- You've achieved that rare bit of porn where the boys not only look like they enjoy having sex they also look like they enjoy having sex with each other. David is an outstanding top and Adam, well I've said it before and I'll say it again: top or bottom Adam rules (altho just between you and me I'd rather watch Adam take it -- his face is so animated and gets so delightfully red). This is a great set!Reply to this post

Jano Drotar - SESSION STILLS - 10/05/2013
Ho-Hum, just another beautiful Czech boy... Jano's the guy next door who mows your lawn with his shirt off while you make excuses to stay outdoors to watch. Sweet face, great body, fine ass, tiny hole and outrageous cockstand: outstanding model. Great shoot. I can't wait for his Erotic Session. Thanks again, Maestro.Reply to this post

If Terry was going to the next level, then he took a few giant steps. Ivo and Terry are absolutely beautiful with perfect muscular bodies. If Terry is just getting started, I'd say he's hooked. He just can't get enough of Ivo's stunning body and fucks ass like an old pro. We will see more of him, I'm hoping. Great job guys.Reply to this post

Viktor Manda - EROTIC SOLO - 31/05/2012
While I have no preferences, I just like to look at naked men, Viktor is so au naturel (no tats, no piercings, unshaven) that it's different and a lot of fun to see. Beautiful eyes, a smile that lights up his whole face and an outstanding ass: what's not to like. Your bio mentions that his ambition is to be a porn star -- I'd love to see that. I wish he'd done some duos with your lads. Great shoot, great cum sequence. Thanks, Maestro.Reply to this post
Dong you're spot on! He's also got my vote for Crown Prince of Buttlandia. I think part of the fun of this shoot is watching the deep red of sexual flush slowly set his face on fire (it's so prominent in so many of your Czech lads and I love it). It looks like Robert just might have enjoyed himself. Great model, great shoot, great butt pics, great cum sequence... Phew! I'd love to see more of him.Reply to this post

As a confirmed old ass-o-phile I have to say that Tibor left me drooling. A handsome, sensuous guy who appeared to enjoy performing for a camera, I wish he'd done some duos. Great model -- great shoot -- great cum sequence. Question: why hasn't Tibor accumulated any comments in the past year and a half? Tis a puzzlement.Reply to this post

Wilson, 27, appeared in seven games for Pittsburgh in 2013, notching 12 tackles. He started at left inside linebacker in Weeks Two and Three before being replaced by Vince Williams.
Toler (5-11, 189) played collegiately at Western Michigan and Rutgers, recording 180 tackles and picking off eight passes in 43 games (41 starts). The 23-year-old Toler is one of nine cornerbacks on the Steelers' roster.
The Steelers begin training camp on today.

The trademarked name "Segway" is a riff on "segue," which means "to transition smoothly from one state to another."
A corridor of charging stations for electric cars on two highways between Montreal and Quebec City will be up and running this fall, Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Pierre Arcand said Friday.
Police have issued a missing person bulletin for René Campeau, a 64-year-old West Island resident last seen at 4:30 p.m. on Monday.
The whole story is tragic. If Emma Czornabaj had stopped to send a text or avoid a child, the perception and decision would have been much clearer. Stopping for ducks is closer to the former than the latter. I ride bicyles, motorcycles and drive cars. I would prefer to hit a duckling rather than a Honda Civic anytime.
For the last while I've been noticing more and more cars driving, at night, without lights. I couldn't figure out why until I got my new Ford Escape. You see, up until then, if I didn't turn on my lights, I couldn't read the dashboard (speedometer, gas gauge, etc.). The dash would be totally dark, and that would serve as a reminder to me to turn on my car lights. While parking my new Ford Escape in my dimly lit garage, I saw that, without turning my car lights on, my dashboard was well-lit and visible. Car manufacturers, helpfully, have configured dashboards to stay lit day and night, without having to turn on the actual car lights.
Re: "An eye-opening first day of covering the Habs" (Christopher Curtis, Sept. 16) Christopher Curtis's fabulous maiden voyage as a sports writer for The Gazette took place on Monday, when he parked his Toyota Echo next to the Ferraris and Beamers at a swank golf course in Laval, following the trail of the hallowed Montreal Canadiens at their annual charity golf tournament.
Re: "Coroner's report on children calls for stricter pool rules" (Gazette, Aug. 29) When Quebec decided that snow tires would be mandatory, as of the winter season of Dec. 15, 2008 to March 15, 2009, it did not add that this would only apply to those purchasing new tires. It would immediately apply to everyone.
I went to Super C today and there was a police car outside with the engine running.
Carl Nadeau, a racecar driver and instructor with 20 years of experience, gives advice for summer driving and talks about some of the bad habits Montreal drivers are guilty of. The most dangerous move, he says, is leaving your winter tires on during the summer months. That is "as dangerous as using summer tires in winter," he said.
The Quebec automotive market, like many things in this province, is distinct. In Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, pickup trucks are king and luxury SUVs are big in Ontario. But the dominant rides on our roads are entry-level vehicles: subcompact and compact cars, as well as compact crossovers.
It has been years since Quebec-built cars have rumbled down our roads, but two companies are intent on trying to reverse that trend while avoiding the pitfalls of others who have failed.

Rapid Reaction: Eagles 33, Bucs 14
October, 11, 2009
By Matt Mosley | ESPN.com
Posted by ESPN.com's Matt Mosley
PHILADELPHIA -- Turns out the Eagles didn't need the Wildcat formation to beat the winless Buccaneers. They stuck with Donovan McNabb for most of the game, and he responded in a big way. In fact, he looked better running the ball than Michael Vick -- right from the opening possession.
McNabb was flushed out of the pocket on the Eagles' first play from scrimmage and he raced 13 yards. He followed it up by lofting a perfect pass to rookie Jeremy Maclin for a 51-yard touchdown. McNabb and Maclin hooked up for a 40-yard touchdown later in the half and the Eagles took a 21-7 halftime lead.
Coach Andy Reid virtually ignored the running game in the first half because he didn't need it. In the second half, Brian Westbrook finally got a piece of the action when he caught a pass for 20 yards to help set up his own 7-yard touchdown run. But this was McNabb's and Maclin's day. Wearing a protective vest to protect his injured rib, McNabb was 16-of-21 for 264 yards and three touchdowns.
Bucs quarterback Josh Johnson tried to keep his team in the game in the first half, but his interception in the end zone with no time left on the clock virtually ended Tampa Bay's hopes. The Eagles' defense did everything it could to confuse Johnson. Defensive end Victor Abiamiri lined up at linebacker at times, and Jeremiah Trotter blew up a couple of plays from his old middle linebacker spot.
The Eagles took control of the game in the first quarter and you never got the sense the Bucs were going to rally. With this win, Reid is now 11-0 after byes. I'm headed down to the locker room. I'll have a full report in a couple of hours.

Fox News dishonestly claimed that MIT economist Jonathan Gruber's comment that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) "was written in a tortured way" to minimize criticism proves that the law was passed deceitfully. In fact, Congress routinely crafts bills to fit legislative rules and politically acceptable limits, and health care reform was transparently debated for years with input from Republicans.
A Media Matters analysis of newspaper coverage of anonymously donated "dark money" in three battleground states shows that secret money's growing influence on elections has not necessarily translated to more awareness in the media. While some news outlets are reporting on the influence this new influx of money is having on politics, others are merely providing a platform for dark-money groups to further their causes.
The term "dark money" is used to describe organizations that do not disclose the identity of at least some of their donors and that use money from these anonymous donors to fund political ads, mailers, and staff to try to influence voters and policymakers. Even spending by these groups may be shielded from disclosure, depending on the type of ad they run. Dark-money groups focus heavily on specific policy outcomes and try to connect candidates to their desired outcome through advertising. These groups protect their donors by never officially endorsing a candidate and by limiting their political activity. This allows them to be classified as "social welfare" organizations under the tax code, which means they do not have to disclose their funding.
Spending by dark-money groups in this election cycle is nearing the $200 million mark and is expected to spiral even higher before Election Day. Much of the spending by these groups is focused on influencing Senate races in key states. Media Matters reviewed newspaper coverage in three states with competitive Senate races (North Carolina, New Hampshire, and Colorado) to see how they are covering this influx of anonymous outside funding. The results show large discrepancies in the quality of the coverage of dark-money groups, with some papers doing a significantly better job than others.
Of the three states analyzed, North Carolina's newspapers provided the best overall coverage of dark money influence. North Carolina's Senate race is expected to set a new record for outside spending, with $55.7 million spent so far, even without counting the non-disclosed money. The Raleigh News & Observer and The Charlotte Observer, the two largest papers by circulation in the state, went beyond reporting the existence of the groups and attempted to report which outside groups were spending money on which ads -- something these groups often fail to do themselves. The North Carolina papers also reported on how dark-money groups such as the Koch brothers-funded Americans for Prosperity (AFP) are using their influence to lobby for specific policies, such as the group's successful campaign to block a special legislative session on economic development.
The Colorado newspapers' coverage of dark-money activity proved to be far less extensive than that of the North Carolina newspapers, producing just 13 stories since July 15. Colorado's Senate race is also poised to break records in outside spending. The Denver Post's coverage did not go into depth the same way North Carolina's newspaper coverage did, but it did highlight efforts by groups like Americans for Prosperity to influence voters with their door-to-door outreach.
Colorado's second biggest paper, The Gazette of Colorado Springs, produced few reports on dark money during the period analyzed. However, a partnership with Rocky Mountain PBS I-News produced a report that covered many of the complexities of dark money. The article discussed outside spending by both conservative and liberal groups and explained the difficulty of tracking dark-money donors and the impact of their donations:
"Nonprofit political groups do not have to disclose donors," Viveka Novak, editorial and communications director for the Center for Responsive Politics said. "So we could only identify organizations that filed 990s (nonprofit tax forms) and that wouldn't include individuals or corporations, so there are still a lot of donors or donations no one would know about."
[Sheldon] Adelson, the Koch Brothers and many other politically active billionaires and multimillionaires across the political spectrum are able to maintain privacy and give endless funds after the U.S. Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United decision, which held that political spending is a form of protected speech under the First Amendment.
"TV ads are number one, the overwhelming most important tool in winning one of these campaigns," Ciruli said.
In New Hampshire, dark-money groups have spent at least $4.3 million in the Senate race -- overwhelmingly in support of the Republican candidate, as of September 8. This subject has seen poor coverage from the state's largest newspaper, The Union Leader. While the paper mentioned dark-money groups in 11 articles, and another five articles mentioned the groups and specific policies, the paper's coverage mostly provided a platform for groups like AFP to spread their message and did not explain the groups' attempt to influence policy decisions or the Senate race. For example, in a September 30 article, the paper gave AFP state director Greg Moore a platform to attack the state's budget situation and blast the Affordable Care Act, something the group has also done in its advertising against Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH):
Greg Moore, state director for Americans for Prosperity, blamed Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act for much of the shortfall in the two-year budget plan.
"The legislature gave the administration $57 million from the last, fiscally-responsible budget to spend, and expected that surplus to last for the entire, two-year budget, but Governor Hassan took her eyes off the ball and spent even more," Moore said. "Keeping within the budget takes strong executive action and discipline, but we aren't seeing that right now in Concord."
While the use of dark-money groups is not one sided, conservative groups are far more likely to use this route to shield wealthy donors and ensuing spending. As the Brennan Center for Justice noted, in this election cycle, "Overall, 80 percent of pro-Republican nonparty expenditures came from dark money groups, compared to 32 percent of outside spending favoring Democrats." This is not a new trend for conservative supporters, as spending by nondisclosing groups has clearly favored Republican candidates over the past four election cycles:
The problem with dark-money groups, as the Brennan Center's analysis noted, is that "the lack of transparency in the majority of outside spending in competitive races leaves voters unable to evaluate the political messages they see" and that these groups "threaten to make a mockery of contribution limits and their prophylactic effect on corruption and influence buying." This sentiment was echoed by University of Louisville political science professor Laurie A. Rhodebeck in the Los Angeles Times, saying that the flood of dark-money spending is "detrimental to voters because if they don't know who is behind the money, they can't judge whether to trust the ad or not."
The scale of the problem is considerable. The Boston Globe reported on October 22 (emphasis added):
The impact is visible online and on television. One of every 16 television ads in US Senate races from January 2013 through August were paid for by a single group, Americans for Prosperity, according to the nonpartisan investigative Center for Public Integrity and advertising tracking service Kantar Media. AFP serves as a nonprofit advocacy arm of the political network backed by conservative billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch.
The Brennan Center found that during the 2012 election, "three-quarters of outside expenditures were made after September 30, and one-half were made in just the last three weeks of the campaign." This suggests that newspapers in these key battleground states still have the opportunity to report on how dark money is influencing their elections.
Media Matters searched Nexis transcripts of the top newspapers (by circulation) in three highly contested states. The papers analyzed were North Carolina's News and Observer in Raleigh and The Charlotte Observer, New Hampshire's Union Leader, and Colorado's Denver Post and the Colorado Springs Gazette. The Concord Monitor, New Hampshire's second largest newspaper, was excluded because it is not in the Nexis database. The search term "((outside or independent or nondisclos! or non-disclos! or undisclosed or dark or secretive) w/5 (money or expenditure or spending)) or (Americans for Prosperity) or (Crossroads GPS) or (U.S. Chamber of Commerce) or (Patriot Majority USA) or (Concerned Veterans for America) or (Freedom Partners)" was used to search for reports on dark-money spending from July 15, 2014, when the Federal Election Commission's quarterly report was released, through October 24. While dark-money groups do not have to disclose all spending to FEC, as other groups do, this date aligns closely with the increase in outside spending.
The publisher of the New Hampshire Union Leader penned an editorial attacking the Obama administration's response to the ongoing Ebola crisis and suggested the president apply a travel ban on the affected countries, advice that has been roundly rejected by major healthcare and infectious disease experts as detrimental to relief efforts.
In an October 7 editorial, Joseph W. McQuaid blasted the administration as "incompetent" for relying on screening to prevent the spread of Ebola and instead suggested that a general travel ban to the region be administered:
Sending American soldiers to West Africa to assist with the Ebola epidemic makes sense only if it helps contain the disease over there. That would include making as certain as possible that those troops are protected while there and properly quarantined when they return home.
As for allowing travelers from affected West African nations to enter the United States at this time, that is crazy. It is yet another example of the most incompetent President we have ever seen.
Screening for symptoms of a deadly infectious disease that may not show up for weeks is not the answer. A travel ban to and from West Africa is what is needed, now.
McQuaid and other right-wing pundits who have called for a travel ban are ignoring experts who say a ban would actually impede Ebola relief efforts. The heads of the Centers for Disease Control, the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases, and independent advisers to the World Health Organization (WHO), all argue that reactionary measures such as a travel ban are ineffectual and could actually destabilize affected countries, worsening the spread of the virus. The WHO, advocating against a travel ban in October 2014, explained that while exit screening is not 100 percent effective, "completion of a screening questionnaire and testing for the presence of fever represent the best available indicators of risk."
The New Hampshire Union Leader rejected the factually accurate claim that the Supreme Court's Hobby Lobby decision would result in gender discrimination while pushing the myth that the forms of contraception discussed in the case were actually abortion-inducing drugs.
A recent Union Leader editorial suggested Fmr. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) were partly to blame in failing to prevent the mass kidnapping of Nigerian schoolgirls by the terrorist group Boko Haram, because they did not designate the group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) in 2012. However, Clinton was the first to designate top Boko Haram leaders as terrorists, and many international organizations and experts on Africa agreed that designating the group as an FTO at that time was premature, as it would cut off foreign aid to the region, negotiation lanes with the group, and raise the profile of the organization.
The May 14 editorial accused Secretary Clinton and Senator Shaheen of delaying FTO designation of Boko Haram in an attempt to protect President Obama's al Qaeda-focused foreign policy agenda. The editorial continued by praising then-Senator Scott Brown's sponsoring of a 2012 bill seeking to list Boko Haram as an FTO, and claiming Secretary Clinton and Senator Shaheen were unwilling to prevent a "real war on women":
Designating Boko Haram as a terrorist organization, like admitting Benghazi was a terror attack, would have undermined -- during a presidential election year -- the President's narrative that he had curtailed the spread of Islamist terror. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee aided the President by killing the Boko Haram Terrorist Designation Act. Shaheen, ever the loyal partisan, sat in silence as a few senators tried in vain to weaken the group that two years later would kidnap hundreds of schoolgirls in an actual war on women, not the imaginary one in which Democrats accuse Scott Brown of taking part.
What does Scott Brown have to do with this? He was the sponsor of the Boko Haram Terrorist Designation Act. The man who tried in vain to stop a real war on women and on education (Boko Haram means Western Learning Forbidden) is accused of being anti-woman by allies of a senator who did nothing to stop those wars.
Despite the attempt by the Union Leader to cast Scott Brown as the real hero by attacking Shaheen and Clinton, the paper glossed over key facts which explain why the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Secretary Clinton decided, at the time, not to designate the group an FTO.
The New Hampshire Union Leader used a widely criticized study to attack the Affordable Care Act (ACA), claiming that insurance premium rates will be increasing exponentially in New Hampshire. However, the study has been panned for its low response rate while the data found in the study is at odds with official data provided by the state.
A Union Leader editorial highlighted a survey first reported in Forbes and conducted by Morgan Stanley which purports to show that premium prices will increase nationally mostly due to the ACA. The Union Leader used one aspect of the survey's findings, that premium prices will increase 90 percent on the individual market in New Hampshire, to attack the ACA and claim it will not bring down premium prices as originally intended:
The stunning news this week was that health insurance premiums in New Hampshire are up 90 percent under the Affordable Care Act, according to a regular survey of health insurance brokers by Morgan Stanley's health care analysts. Dr. Scott Gottlieb, writing in Forbes, relayed that the Morgan Stanley team attributed the increase to four factors directly related to Obamacare: "the age bands that don't allow insurers to vary premiums between young and old beneficiaries based on the actual costs of providing the coverage, the new excise taxes being levied on insurance plans, and new benefit designs."
Despite the Union Leader and Forbes' ringing endorsement of the findings, the study has come under withering scrutiny. The study itself explains that "the trends among the individual insurers" are not as useful as the aggregate trends due to the fact the observations were much smaller. Indeed, for New Hampshire, there was only one registered response to the survey. Only two states produced double digit responses, California with 14 and Idaho with 31.
As a post by local television state WMUR 9 explained, "21 percent of all survey respondents were from Idaho" while in New Hampshire, "they said they talked to one person, who they don't name." The piece went on to explain that because of the study's low response rate for New Hampshire, WMUR did not run the story saying, "it's all based on one anonymous person's opinion."
Numerous local newspapers failed to identify the fossil fuel funding behind Thomas Pyle, president of the American Energy Alliance, while allowing him to publish op-eds across the country misleadingly attacking a potential tax credit for wind power, while ignoring subsidies for the oil and gas industries.
A New Hampshire Union Leader editorial attacked the gender pay gap as "complete hooey," ignoring several studies that show a clear discrepancy in wages between men and women while dismissing the benefits of equal pay.
The February 9 editorial criticized New Hampshire Gov. Maggie Hassan's decision to back an equal pay bill being considered by the state legislature, saying the gender wage gap is "complete hooey" and that "no serious scholar believes it." The editorial instead claimed women's' life choices were the biggest reason for the gap:
A 2009 Labor Department study of the issue reached "the unambiguous conclusion that the differences in the compensation of men and women are the result of a multitude of factors and that the raw wage gap should not be used as the basis to justify corrective action."
That "multitude of factors" consists largely of life choices -- work hours, number of children, etc. For instance, Bureau of Labor Statistics data on full-time employees show that never-married women earn 95.8 percent of what men earn, but married women with children under 18 earn 76.3 percent.
The legislation would disallow pay secrecy policies that keep employees from discussing their pay with co-workers, making it easier for women to ensure they are being paid equally. Currently, employers are required to pay equal wages to men and women but can prevent employee discussion of compensation. As the National Women's Law Center explained last month, pay secrecy policies "can keep women in the dark about their pay, making pay discrimination nearly impossible to detect." States like Vermont, New Jersey, and New Mexico have recently enacted this type of legislation, strengthening women's and workers' rights in their states.
The New Hampshire Union Leader relied on anecdotal evidence from past elections to revive the misleading threat of voter fraud to endorse voter ID laws that restrict the right to vote.
In a January 27 editorial, the Union Leader cited two cases of potential fraud that it claims justifies the paper's support for strict photo ID laws:
Adam Kumpu of Milford was fined $1,000 and his mother, Janine Kumpu of Milford, was fined $250 for the fraud. Janine Kumpu obtained an absentee ballot in her son's name, and he used it to vote in Milford last November. He also voted in person in Keene.
That was proven fraud. Then there is the mystery of a vote recorded in Caitlin Legacki's name in the 2012 general election. The bloggers at Granite Grok reported last week that someone voted in Manchester in 2012 under the name of former Jeanne Shaheen spokesperson Caitlin Legacki.
We confirmed with the city clerk's office that a vote under Legacki's name and address was recorded. But Legacki moved out of New Hampshire shortly after the 2008 election (in which she voted) and was in St. Louis on Election Day 2012, working for U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill. "It certainly was news to me" that she was checked as having voted in Manchester in 2012, she told us last week.
The Union Leader's anecdotal evidence is futile since neither case was prevented by the voter ID law in place in New Hampshire prior to the 2012 election, nor do the examples prove the law's effectiveness in deterring the minuscule amount of fraud that occurs in elections. New Hampshire's voter ID law requires an eligible photo ID, or voters must sign an affidavit confirming their identity and intention to vote. The Kumpu family example would not be stopped by stricter ID laws as absentee ballots are counted after the polls close in New Hampshire, thus making the redundant vote unpreventable solely with voter ID legislation. The second case, as the editorial noted, could have been a simple mistake, and was not prevented by the ID law. In addition, it does not show any proof that anyone engaged in fraud.
The New Hampshire Union Leader attacked a push to expand Medicaid to the state's low-income residents, claiming that legislators should focus on job growth instead. However, studies show that expanding Medicaid will create jobs, spur economic growth, and cut health care costs for New Hampshire residents.
The New Hampshire Union Leader misleadingly used the findings of a study on Oregon's Medicaid expansion to attack the program, claiming it did not improve the health of patients and led to increased emergency room visits, and warning that New Hampshire "must not fall into that trap." However, contrary to the Union Leader's assertion, studies of Oregon's expansion show improvements in preventable diseases and mental health, and while ER visits were shown to rise initially, the number of people using the ER has dropped as people become more educated about their insurance coverage.
In a January 7 editorial, the Union Leader, which has a history of misinforming the public on Medicaid expansion, said Medicaid expansion is an effort to "move working-class and eventually middle-class Americans into government dependency." The paper claimed this would have a devastating effect on New Hampshire because the program is "poorly designed" and "does not even achieve its stated goals," using a recently released Harvard study of Oregon's 2008 Medicaid expansion experiment to show how the program "did not improve health outcomes or reduce health care costs" and "even increased visits to hospital emergency rooms."
But the Union Leader's claim that Medicaid did not improve health outcomes is inaccurate and fails to tell the whole story. A digest of the study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research contests the Union Leader's claims, saying the report found "higher healthcare utilization, lower out-of-pocket medical expenditures and medical debt, and better self-reported health." Past reports on Oregon's Medicaid experiment have also shown improvements in mental health and chronic disease detection among those covered by the expansion.
Two of New Hampshire's top newspapers, the Union Leader and Concord Monitor, ran weekly opinion columns from members of the Josiah Bartlett Center (JBC), a Koch brother-funded ally of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), but failed to disclose the authors' conservative funding allowing them a platform to air their conservative agendas and legitimizing the viewpoints of their special interest backers.
The New Hampshire Union Leader promoted a plan that would use Medicaid expansion funds available under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) not to expand Medicaid to cover more of New Hampshire's poorest residents, but to subsidize private insurance plans. However, under this plan, people would potentially pay higher premiums for their private plans or be left without health insurance.
In a November 17 editorial, the Union Leader advocated for using Medicaid expansion funds to extend New Hampshire's practice of providing subsidies for private insurance policies and mocked legislators who warned that this approach could leave consumers vulnerable to price hikes due to lack of marketplace competition:
That is why Senate President Chuck Morse's plan to use Medicaid dollars to subsidize private insurance for qualified Granite Staters is such a great proposal. He called the Democrats' bluff. Now they are throwing up every objection that they can, even ones that undermine the party's position on Obamacare.
State Senate Republicans had proposed moving newly Medicaid-eligible Granite Staters into subsidized private insurance plans purchased on Obamacare's state insurance exchange, and doing that by 2015. Last week Democrats hilariously complained that this was "unworkable" (Gov. Maggie Hassan's word) because there is no competition on New Hampshire's exchange, which is serviced by only Anthem and Delta Dental.
By pushing for Morse's proposal, the Union Leader failed to take into account two major impediments to the Senate plan. First, a special waiver must be proposed by the state and approved by the federal government before Medicaid funds can be used for private insurance. Knowing this could be a lengthy process, other states that have taken this route have already submitted proposals for approval. The Senate plan backed by the Union Leader forecasts only one year for federal approval, and would end expansion efforts if the plan had not been approved by the end of that year. A different proposal by the House also recommends using Medicaid expansion funds to offer private insurance subsidies, but that plan does not foresee moving people to private plans for at least three years.
The second problem with the Senate plan is the lack of competition in the state exchange marketplace. With only one provider on the marketplace so far, New Hampshire's exchange is not competitive enough to make the Senate private subsidy plan viable, nor does it have the time to grow competition before the Senate plan would be implemented. According to the Boston Globe:
Insurance Commissioner Roger Sevigny cautioned the Senate panel that its timeline is ambitious. Sevigny said he has not heard of any companies preparing to enter the marketplace as the Senate plan envisions in 2015 to join the lone provider, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
The House plan rejected by the editorial is deemed more practical, because it would only shift Medicaid funds to private insurance if three providers are competing on the exchanges. According to Forbes, competition is vital to keeping prices low and quality of care high:
In the future, to stay competitive, insurers will need to increase value for their customers. They'll do so by including in their networks only those physicians and hospitals that provide higher quality at a lower cost. This will require providers to improve the processes and outcomes of the care they deliver.
This shift in competition will begin a virtuous cycle. The lower cost, higher-quality insurance plans will attract more people. A growing membership base will give them greater leverage to demand increased efficiency, higher quality and superior outcomes from doctors and hospitals in their networks. This, in turn, will result in further market-share growth as more consumers see the value.
As the Concord Monitor further explained:
Implementing Obamacare and expanding access to Medicaid, let alone doing so under an as-yet unwritten plan that requires federal approval, is enormously complicated. Almost every part of every endeavor is in flux. So without getting into the deep weeds, the sticking point is this: The governor and the House want the people newly eligible for Medicaid to be able to obtain coverage under the standard Medicaid programs now being overseen by three managed care companies until at least 2017 before shifting them to private plans with what amounts to a voucher to subsidize the cost. The added time could allow players other than Anthem, the only insurer signed up to participate in the health care exchange marketplace, to join, thus increasing competition and lowering costs.
Several local media outlets published editorials and opinion pieces highlighting and praising CBS' faulty 60 Minutes Benghazi report. Now that CBS has apologized and withdrawn its report, will local media follow suit?
On October 27, CBS' 60 Minutes aired a report highlighting comments from security officer Dylan Davies, who went by the pseudonym "Morgan Jones" and said that he was an eyewitness to the September 12, 2012, attack on the U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya. After several inconsistencies surfaced in Davies' statements about the evening, CBS pulled its report, apologized to viewers, and said it would "correct the record" on the next edition of 60 Minutes.
Immediately following the 60 Minutes report, various local media outlets across the country published editorial and opinion pieces hyping the report and heralding it as evidence that President Obama and his administration were lying about the attacks. At least six local media outlets, including The Columbus Dispatch, The New Hampshire Union Leader, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, The Washington Times, The Charleston Post and Courier, and The Boston Herald, all hyped the CBS report with one outlet calling it a "damning report" while another said the administration's "coverup [is] being exposed." Pittsburgh Press writer Jack Kelly published a piece in the Post-Gazette claiming the report was "noteworthy for the new information provided -- in particular the interviews with 'Morgan Jones' and [Lt.] Col. [Andrew] Wood."
The 60 Minutes report reinvigorated the widely debunked myth that there are "lingering questions" about the Benghazi attack and continued to push a right-wing media narrative that the Obama administration has engaged in a cover-up in response to the attacks. The pervasiveness of the myth even hit Congress as Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) threatened to hold up presidential nominations until questions surrounding Benghazi were answered.
Now that CBS has retracted its report, will local media outlets who also injected this misleading myth into their opinion pages do the same, or will they continue to rely on debunked information that misleads their readers?
The New Hampshire Union Leader argued against a proposal to expand Medicaid in the state and instead advocated for using the federal expansion funds to enact a voucher system. However, numerous studies have found that traditional Medicaid provides more coverage for less cost.
In a November 6 editorial discussing a state initiative to expand eligibility for Medicaid, the Union Leader claimed that Medicaid offered few health benefits and denounced the low reimbursement rates for doctors. The editorial went on to suggest that Medicaid expansion dollars should fund a voucher system:
Studies of Medicaid enrollees show that the program improves health care access, but not measurable health outcomes. And because it pays doctors and hospitals a fraction of what it actually costs for treatment, it does not solve the problem of cost-shifting. Nonetheless, there is pressure to expand eligibility from the state's current 63 percent of the federal poverty level to the Obamacare-demanded 138 percent.
[Sen. Chuck] Morse [(R)] and [Sen. Jeb] Bradley [(R)] have proposed a better way. Rather than throw people onto Medicaid, they would use Medicaid funding to enhance the state's premium support program. Low-income families would get better-quality private insurance, which pays full hospital and doctor reimbursement rates. And unlike straight Medicaid expansion, eligible people who are already privately insured would not be lured onto Medicaid.
Contrary to the Union-Leader's assertion that Medicaid doesn't show "measurable health outcomes," a study of Oregon's 2008 Medicaid expansion published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that while certain health outcomes were not achieved -- such as lowering cholesterol and hypertension -- expansion had other benefits such as lowering rates of depression and increasing the rate of diabetes detection and treatment.
Moreover, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has argued that expanding Medicaid is a key strategy to improving women's health, as Medicaid "is the largest payer of pregnancy services, financing between an estimated 40% and 50% of all births in the United States, and family planning services, accounting for 75% of all public expenditures."
Reimbursement rates under Medicaid expansion will increase as a result of the ACA, a fact the Union Leader failed to mention. As part of the law, provisions were included to raise rates so that doctors are more likely to accept new Medicaid patients. Rates will increase across the country by an average of 73 percent according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, and in New Hampshire, rates are expected to increase 50-99 percent:
In lieu of support for Medicaid expansion, the editorial advocated for a plan proposed by state Sens. Morse (R-Salem) and Bradley (R-Wolfeboro) that would use Medicaid expansion funds to further expand the state's voucher program. Yet, as Kaiser Health News explained, it is inherently cheaper to enroll more people in Medicaid than to give them subsidies for private insurance. Since HHS requires voucher programs like Morse-Bradley's to provide Medicaid-level benefits, the voucher program would promote more expensive plans but offer identical benefits to Medicaid. Furthermore, according to a study appearing in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, Medicaid offers better protection against underinsurance -- measured as out-of-pocket health care cost over 5% of income -- than basic minimum plans that low-income individuals can afford on the private market:
Greater than one-third of low-income adults nationally were underinsured. Medicaid recipients were less likely to be underinsured than privately insured adults, indicating potential benefits of expanded Medicaid under health care reform. Nonetheless, more than one-quarter of Medicaid recipients were underinsured, highlighting the importance of addressing cost-related barriers to care even among those with public coverage.

How to Salvage Peaches
By Susan Westmoreland
Special Offers
QuestionI bought peaches that felt ripe but turned out to be pretty flavorless. How can I salvage them?
AnswerOur associate food director, Debby Goldsmith, makes her mom's "magic syrup" for disappointing fruit. The recipe: In a 4-cup glass bowl, combine 1 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, a couple of strips of lemon peel, and a cinnamon stick or a few cloves. Microwave on High 2 minutes. Cool. Toss cut-up fruit with a couple of tablespoons of the mixture. You can even bottle the magic. Syrup will last up to a month, if covered and refrigerated.

They will never implement ranked on a fundamentally flawed game mode.
Right now they're doing something similar to an employer cutting back hours more and more - trying to force an employee to quit. Then when the Dom pop. gets low enough for them to not catch a lot of flak - it will be removed. Most likely after they have another game mode in the works to promote.
I like the part about setting the houses of SR players on fir...your style, yeah.
Normally, I come into these thread and try to pacify everyone by saying stuff like RiotNome is here and Riot cares and blah blah...
But this rant was executed too well for me to say stuff like that.
So, all I will say is...
Riot pls
Vesh pls
Zyra is a very unimaginative champion
Nerf Irelia
Armored Bears are Awesome
[RiotNome Summoning Ritual]
Tons of Damage
Trinity Force
Surrendering should be 3/2
Good Chinese Food
Epic Beards
Murder Bridge
Edit: Particles!!!
Okay, now I am sure I will at least get someone's attention.
Anyways, I agree that the one of the major problems with Dominion is that too many people use it to test champions out instead of actually taking it as a serious game mode. Which implies that they take Summoner's Rift seriously while Dominion is just a joke. With that mentality, it is hard to portray Dominion as a serious game mode for any new players. When I play with friends, I cannot even convince them to play Dominion because they think it is a joke. They respond with "we're not in the mood for trolling today." Just the addition of ranked symbolizes it is an actual game mode. Although, that is not to say I do not see the negatives to this as well.
Mentality is very important. Remember before PulseFire Ezreal, everyone complained that Ezreal needed a buff. After he was released and everyone started using him, everyone cried that he needed a nerf even though nothing changed. FotM is a better example. One day, a champion is seen to be useless and people cry that s/he needs to be reworked to even be viable. Then some pro player comes along and dominates with the champion and suddenly everyone thinks that champion is one of the most OP champs in the game. Nothing about that champion changed, people's opinion changed because they are too lazy to take anything serious in the beginning until someone else tells them to take it seriously. Everyone said that Pre-buffed Evelynn was useless and just a troll champion. Then we see someone like RiotNome who considered Evelynn to be his "main" and found a strategy that suited her needs. I had friends tell me that Evelynn is a troll champion...yet they never even played with her.
As for popularity, we can do stuff to increase traffic to Dominion. But all of that stuff will be on the micro-level. We need Riot's help to get traffic at the Macro-level. Ranked might be part of the solution, but it is only PART of the solution.
This rant deserves a gold star.
Definitely gonna give you a +1 for, if nothing else, good writing.
Ranked Dominion would be a dream come true, and would certainly make me a happy little summoner.
So much god**** yes in this thread.

CHICAGO – "Drinking Buddies" director Joe Swanberg's latest release of the same star wattage is "Happy Christmas," an even lower-fi story than the Olivia Wilde beer comedy, steered even more by the casting that it was able to assemble. However, with this movie Swanberg doesn't so much worry about having a story that could be confused with a more mainstream romantic comedy if it were to have a bigger budget.

Blu-ray Review: Third Season of FOX Hit 'Glee'Submitted by BrianTT on August 26, 2012 - 1:11pm
CHICAGO – The kids of "Glee" are back a little early this year as FOX has released the third season of the hit musical comedy earlier than the wave of TV-on-Blu-ray releases that are about to hit stores. This season was a bit of a letdown after the first two, earning much fewer Emmy nominations and sliding pretty far in the ratings. And the Blu-ray release feels like a step down from previous years as well. True fans will be happy but newcomers should obviously start with seasons one or two.
Blu-Ray Review: Fox Cashes in With 'Glee Encore'Submitted by BrianTT on May 2, 2011 - 1:42pm
CHICAGO – You truly know that something has become a phenomenon when a studio begins to take advantage of its fans with repetitive releases designed to pry open the purses or wallets of teenagers who must have everything related to their favorite pop culture trend. Witness "Glee: Encore," a Blu-ray release with nothing new and little reason for anyone who owns the excellent first season to pick it up.
Blu-Ray Review: Amazing HD Release For First Season of 'Glee'Submitted by BrianTT on September 27, 2010 - 2:32pm
CHICAGO – We at HollywoodChicago.com have reviewed dozens of HD season TV sets and the one for the first season of FOX's beloved "Glee" is easily one of the best yet released. It plays perfectly to both fans of the show and those who have never seen it before, making it the collector's item that it should be along with expanding the audience of its program. Other studios should take notes (no pun intended).
TV Review: FOX's Award-Winning 'Glee' Returns Singing Same SongSubmitted by BrianTT on September 21, 2010 - 11:37am
CHICAGO – FOX hit "Glee" returns tonight, hoping to not only keep the rabidly-loyal fans it earned in its critically-acclaimed first season but even pick up a new ones curious about what this Emmy-winning show has to offer. Will "Glee" continue its pop culture rise, plateau as so many second-year shows do, or take a dive?
TV News: 'Glee' Lands Third Season PickupSubmitted by BrianTT on May 24, 2010 - 8:08am
CHICAGO – Before the first season has even concluded, FOX announced that they have renewed their massive hit show "Glee" for a third season, clearly confident in the long-term potential of this award-winning series. Peter Rice, Chairman, Entertainment, Fox Networks Group; and Kevin Reilly, President, Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company made the announcement today via press release.
Interview: Ryan Murphy Dances His Way to 'Glee' on FOXSubmitted by BrianTT on May 12, 2009 - 7:11pm
CHICAGO – Ryan Murphy is not a TV writer who believes in following the rules. He reached nearly iconic status from the loyal followers of FX's "Nip/Tuck" and is trying to create water-cooler TV yet again with FOX's very unique "Glee," a show that we'll review later this week (but you can check out a great clip here if you're impatient).
Video: Join the Club With FOX's 'Glee' From 'Nip/Tuck' Creator Ryan MurphySubmitted by BrianTT on April 2, 2009 - 11:24am
CHICAGO – "Nip/Tuck" creator Ryan Murphy brings his twisted worldview to the American high school with a new Fox series that looks bound to create a love-it-or-hate-it argument - a weekly musical comedy series called "Glee" - and we have an exciting new clip for you below.

Product description
WINNER OF THE WILLIAM HILL SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2012. On a fateful night in 2009, Tyler Hamilton and Daniel Coyle met for dinner in Boulder, Colorado. The two had met five years before while Coyle was writing his bestselling book, Lance Armstrong: Tour de Force. But this time, Tyler had something else on his mind. He finally wanted to come clean, about everything: the doping, the lying, his years as Lance Armstrong's teammate on U.S. Postal, his decade spent running from the truth. 'I'm sorry,' he told Coyle. 'It just feels so good to be able to talk about this. I've been quiet for so many years.' Over the next eighteen months, Hamilton would tell his story, and his sport's story, in explosive detail, never sparing himself in the process. In a way, he became as obsessed with telling the truth as he had been with winning the Tour de France just a few years before. The truth would set Tyler free, but would also be the most damning indictment yet of Tour winners such as Armstrong. The result of this determination is The Secret Race, a book that pulls back the curtain and takes us into the secret world of professional cycling like never before. A world populated by unbelievably driven - and some flawed - characters. A world where the competition used every means to get an edge, and the options were stark. A world where it often felt like there was no choice.

Author information
Tyler Hamilton is a former professional bike racer, Olympic gold medalist, and NCAA champion. He raced professionally from 1995 to 2008 and now runs his own company, Tyler Hamilton Training, in Boulder, Colorado.Daniel Coyle is the Sunday Times bestselling author of Lance Armstrong: Tour de Force and The Talent Code. He lives with his wife and four children in Homer, Alaska, and Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
Review quote
"Brilliantly detailed and wholly convincing: with Coyle's skill and Hamilton's honesty, the book was always likely to be excellent. This is no generalised or theoretical exploration of a doping culture but a forensic description of how it worked. Armstrong used to say there would always be sceptics who didn't believe in his story, but now the sceptics are those who, ostrich-like, continue to believe. They should be compelled to read this book, and though the collision with reality will cause them to shudder, the good news is that they will be riveted by a well-told story and will be the better for knowing the truth." -- David Walsh Sunday Times 20120916 "The broadest, most accessible look at cycling's drug problem to date." New York Times 20120911 "The news leaks about The Secret Race have vastly undersold its importance. Tyler Hamilton's book is a historic, definitive indictment of cycling's culture of doping during the Armstrong era. Here's the reality. The Secret Race isn't just a game changer for the Armstrong myth. It's the game ender. No one can read this book with an open mind and still credibly believe that Armstrong didn't dope. It's impossible. That doesn't change the fact that he survived cancer and helped millions of people through Livestrong, but the myth of the clean-racing hero who came back from the dead is, well, dead. The book is the holy grail for disillusioned cycling fans in search of answers. The book's power is in the collected details, all strung together in a story that is told with such clear-eyed conviction that you never doubt its veracity." Outside magazine 20120831 "Astonishingly candid... an extraordinary confessional." -- Matt Dickinson The Times 20120907 "Riveting... Just about every significant detail in the USADA evidence is here. And it is brilliantly conveyed by an insider who can see both sides of the story: the institutional corruption, which eats away at the culprits, as well as the crippling pressure on riders to conform. We can expect plenty more books to be published on this conspiracy, for it is arguably the most audacious ever plotted in the world of sport. But it feels as though Hamilton's is likely to become the definitive work on the subject." -- Simon Briggs Daily Telegraph 20121012

In July of '08, Boston's REKS released his sophomore album, Grey Hairs, a vivid description of the emcee as an old soul in hip-hop's ever-changing landscape. After watching the LP win accolades from the underground/independent hip-hop community, REKS has decided that he wants to do it again – his third album, More Grey Hairs, is scheduled to drop this coming March. Following the lyrically-driven System he established in his previous work, the emcee fires on all cylinders, discussing his hopes for integrity's return to the game over a brass-heavy beat by DJ GI Joe. Though REKS' Grey-Haired ruminations are music to the ears of devoted hip-hop heads, here's hoping the fresh talent debuting in '09 will reassure the emcee as to the state of the industry.

Product description
No one interested in the history of dress, from art historians to stage designers, from museum curators to teachers of fashion and costume, can function effectively without Janet Arnold's "Patterns of Fashion" series, published by Macmillan since 1964. Since her untimely death in 1998, admirers of her work have been waiting, with increasing impatience, for the promised volume devoted to the linen clothes of the Elizabethan and early Stuart periods, a companion to her previous volume on tailored clothes of the same era.Planned and partly prepared by Janet herself, and completed by Jenny Tiramani, Janet's last pupil, no other book exists that is dedicated to the linen clothes that covered the body from the skin outwards. It contains full colour portraits and photographs of details of garments in the explanatory section, as well as patterns for 86 items of linen clothing, which range from men's shirts and women's smocks, from superb ruffs and collars to boot hose and children's stomachers. Beautifully produced, it is an invaluable guide to both the history and the recreation of these wonderful garments.

Author information
Janet Arnold was a historian of fashion, which combined her two greatest passions: the theatre and clothes. Her early books were conceived as aids for the fashion and theatre students she taught, but as her unique range and depth of knowledge became apparent, more and more museums and other institutions sought her advice and, today, her books are essential tools for the study of dress and have been used throughout the world. Jenny Tiramani was Janet's last pupil and during the first ten years of Shakespeare's Globe she worked with Janet's published patterns to realize accurate copies of the original garments and their accessories. Santina Levey is Janet Arnold's Literary Executor and a historian of fashion.
