Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas was a busy man Sunday morning, his regular routine interrupted several times for interviews following Will Take Charge's upset victory in Saturday's Grade 1, $1 million Travers.
"They keep coming in droves," quipped Lukas. "That's a good thing."
Will Take Charge gave the 77-year-old Lukas his third Travers victory and first since 1995, charging down the stretch to nail stubborn pacesetter Moreno by a nose at the wire.
"He's doing wonderful; really good," Lukas said. "I'm very pleased with that. He had great energy this morning, out grazing and feeling good, very good."
Winner of the Smarty Jones and Grade 2 Rebel during the winter, Will Take Charge ran in all three legs of the Triple Crown, finishing eighth in the Kentucky Derby, seventh to injured stablemate Oxbow in the Preakness, and 10th in the Belmont Stakes.
He came back to run a strong second, beaten just a length by Belmont winner Palace Malice, in the Spa's Grade 2 Jim Dandy on July 27.
"His trips were compromised [during the Triple Crown]," Lukas said. "His style of running puts him in a position where he has to have some things go his way. As he's gotten older and more mature now, mentally and physically, he's able to overcome that stuff. Early on in his career, that was the thing that probably slowed him up."
Ridden for the first time by 21-year-old Luis Saez, Will Take Charge was able to relax off a leisurely pace set by 31-1 long shot Moreno, who led through a quarter mile in 24.40 seconds, a half in 48.88 and six furlongs in 1:13.43.
Saez swung Will Take Charge outside turning for home, and they closed relentlessly down the center of the track to catch Moreno in the final jump.
"I was concerned about the fractions. I thought the fractions were way in favor of the horses that you all liked and not him," Lukas said. "When they threw up that half-mile and then the [1:13.43] for three quarters, I thought it was tailor made for the favorites. When you go 13 and four and you're a world-class horse, you're supposed to finish."
Lukas complimented the ride of Saez, who he named to ride Wednesday morning before the post position draw, replacing Junior Alvarado.
"He rode a very smart race," said Lukas. "If he stays tucked in behind that horse at the sixteenth pole, he loses. Boy, this horse really accelerated when he saw daylight and took off. He lengthened his stride five, six feet in the last hundred yards.
"We thought he would mature into a better horse, but we took some chances. We took an untried rider who had never won a Grade 1 in his life and put him up there. We took the blinkers off. I've always felt in racing and training horses that if it's not working, change up and try something different."
Lukas is keeping the logical options open for Will Take Charge, including the Grade 1, $1 million Jockey Club Gold Cup against older horses at Belmont Park on September 28, and staying with straight 3-year-olds in the Grade 2, $1 million Pennsylvania Derby on September 21.
"One of them's a Grade 1 and very prestigious. If you were to win the Jockey Club, you'd go damn sure to the head of the division," Lukas said. "If you stay in your division, the million dollars is not necessarily bad, either. We'll weigh all the things. You get an extra week if you go to the Jockey Club, so that's also something."
Lukas said the Travers did little to clarify the 3-year-old picture. Kentucky Derby winner Orb finished a solid third, Palace Malice closed to be fourth after missing the break, and 8-5 favorite Verrazano faded to seventh after stalking the pace.
"I think it muddles it a little bit," he said. "I think if you're one of the voting group, you're going to have trouble until we get a little further down the basepath. It's going to have to be sorted out in a race or two more. Maybe it will get all the way down to the Breeders' Cup. The fight's not over."
was bright and doing well after his gallant second by a nose to Will Take Charge on Saturday in the Grade 1 Travers.
Trainer Eric Guillot revealed Sunday morning that the gelded son of Ghostzapper raced with a large abscess near his throat.
"That's an abscess that started Monday," said Guillot, while a stable hand jogged Moreno in a straight line outside the barn for the trainer's inspection. "I think the worst day was yesterday. We started compressing it. We're good to go now, but I thought I was going to have to scratch on Monday. We don't know what caused it - I think an ingrown hair, maybe, or he jerked back on the chain. It got infected and went the wrong way. You don't want to pack it and work on it too hard and too fast. Yesterday, we iced it. I gave him a lot of anti-inflammatories."
While Guillot said the abscess had no impact on Moreno's performance, the strap from his blinkers wrapped around the abscess. He is treating the wound with silver sulfadiazine, a topical antibacterial.
Travers Day was an emotional one for the colorful Guillot, who told anyone who would listen that the horse named after owner Michael Moreno was one of the best in the 3-year-old division.
"Everyone thought I was talking trash," Guillot said. "He just beat the Derby winner, the Haskell winner and the Belmont winner, right? "
Guillot had predicted the key to Moreno's success would be internal fractions, and Moreno got away on the lead with an opening quarter-mile in 24.48 seconds and a second quarter in 24.55, which put him up by two lengths.
On the turn for home, Moreno was in full flight and had plenty left to turn back a bold challenge by Kentucky Derby winner Orb, only to get caught at the wire by Will Take Charge.
"That's what we wanted," Guillot said of the manageable fractions. "That's why he got beat a whisker. It was a tough loss. It left me all emotional. I walked down to the track by myself. I wished everybody, 50,000 people, just evaporated. I wanted to be by myself for a few minutes. Then I realized, 'I just got beat a whisker at 30-1 against the best of the best.' It's horse racing. If his name was Guillot, he would have won by 20.
"I tried to not get all emotional and teared up, but I had to. I couldn't do it. I didn't see [owner] Michael [Moreno]; he was up in the box. I was in there 10 minutes later, and we were both crying."
Guillot said he plans to leave Moreno at Saratoga to train up to the $1 million Pennsylvania Derby on September 21 at Parx Racing and then, if all goes well, he will run in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Classic at Santa Anita.
"We'd run him right out of his stall," Guillot said, referring to his home base. "It's my back yard. I've got to take that on."
Hall of Fame trainer Shug McGaughey on Sunday expressed satisfaction with Orb's third-place finish in Saturday's Grade 1 Travers, and said the colt likely will make his next start in the Grade 1 Jockey Club Gold Cup on September 28.
In the Travers, Orb saved ground while stalking the pace and loomed at the top of the stretch but was unable to match strides with winner Will Take Charge or overtake runner-up Moreno. Orb was ridden by Jose Lezcano, who replaced injured jockey Joel Rosario.
"I thought he ran a great race," said McGaughey, who trains the Kentucky Derby winner for Stuart S. Janney III and Phipps Stable. "He came to the paddock the way I wanted him to, and I thought he had running on his mind. I thought Jose rode him great. He was down on the inside the other two horses, and he couldn't get by Moreno, really, after that slow pace. I'm disappointed we didn't win, but I'm not disappointed in his effort one bit. I thought they did a terrific job with him."
If Orb competes in the Jockey Club Gold Cup, he will be making his first start against older horses. The Travers was his first start since his third in the Grade 1 Belmont Stakes in June.
"Now we've got a good, solid race under his belt, we've got all last winter and spring's stuff behind us," said McGaughey. "I think we can really move forward now. I'm going to look at the Gold Cup. That's not to say the Pennsylvania Derby or the Indiana Derby or something is completely out of the picture, but I think we want to go to the Gold Cup."
Trainer Todd Pletcher reported Sunday morning that Grade 1 Travers favorite Verrazano and second choice Palace Malice returned from their respective seventh- and fourth-place finishes in good order, and that a decision on their next starts would not be forthcoming for a few days.
"We're disappointed," Pletcher said. "Any time after a race, you don't only look at that race but their entire body of work. As far as their next starts, we have no firm plans. We'll wait a few days and talk it over with Mr. [Cot] Campbell and the other connections before we make any decisions."
While Palace Malice wound up beaten less than a length after stumbling at the start, Pletcher could offer no excuse for Verrazano, winner of the Grade 1 Wood Memorial at Aqueduct Race Track and the Grade 1 Haskell Invitational at Monmouth Park.
"[Verrazano] is still 6-for-8 and a multiple Grade 1 winner," he said of the More Than Ready colt. "We're disappointed in yesterday's performance but we're not disappointed in the horse. I can't offer much excuse. I thought he was in a very good tactical position. [But] when Johnny [Velazquez] needed him to start picking it up around the half-mile pole, he just didn't have the response we were looking for."
"[With Palace Malice], we weren't planning on being last going into the first turn behind a dawdling pace," he said of the Grade 1 Belmont Stakes and Grade 2 Jim Dandy winner. "I thought he had a winning race in him. Unfortunately, the start did not go well. Once that happened we were in a completely different spot than we anticipated being. Unfortunately, he came up a length short. For a number of reasons, the bad start was compromising. When you tack on the fact they didn't go very fast up front, I thought he ran a great race, considering all that."
The Pletcher barn was far from empty-handed Saturday, as Capo Bastone took advantage of torrid early fractions and came from 10th to upset the Grade 1, $500,000 Foxwoods King's Bishop at 28-1.
"We were hoping we would get a favorable pace set-up," Pletcher said. "We felt like the horse was training very well into it. Based on the strength of his training, we thought we'd take a shot, and it worked out."
Among those on the main track worktab for Pletcher on Sunday were 2012 Champion Two-Year-Old Male Shanghai Bobby, who worked five furlongs 1:00.91 in company with Graydar, and Grade 1 Whitney Invitational Handicap winner Cross Traffic, who went a half-mile in 48.19.
"Shanghai continues to go great," he said. "We're still a month or so away, but I like what we're seeing so far. He's coming back and getting fit a week or so ahead of what we anticipated. We're really pleased with him and happy to have him back.
"Cross Traffic also went well," he added. "We'll make a decision tomorrow or the next day on whether he'll run in the [Grade 1, $750,000] Woodward [on Saturday]."
Multiple graded stakes winner Mucho Macho Man put in his final work for the Grade 1 Woodward, breezing five furlongs in 1:03.50 over the main track Sunday morning.
Hall of Fame jockey Edgar Prado was aboard for the work, the second for the 5-year-old son of Macho Uno since finishing third in the Grade 1 Whitney on August 3.
"He went good," said Prado of Mucho Macho Man, who is trained by Kathy Ritvo for Reeves Thoroughbred Racing. "He went nice and easy the first part, picked it up and finished up good. That's what Kathy wanted, so that's what we did."
Prado has ridden Mucho Macho Man in each of his past two starts. He was third in the Criminal Type overnight stakes on June 14 off a five-month layoff, and second, beaten 2 ¼ lengths, in the Whitney by front-running winner Cross Traffic.
"He was running hard and strong every step of the way [in the Whitney]. I definitely think that he got something out of the race," Prado said. "He tries all the time. Both times I rode him, he tried real hard; he just couldn't catch the horse in front."
Mucho Macho Man won three of six starts in 2012, all stakes: the Sunshine Millions Classic, Grade 2 Gulfstream Park Handicap and Grade 2 Suburban Handicap at Belmont Park. He closed the year finishing second in both the Woodward, by a neck, and the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Classic, by a half-length.
This year, Mucho Macho Man is 0-for-3, but Prado feels the horse is moving in the right direction.
"He is going good into this race," Prado said. "He's training very good. Kathy is happy, and I'm really happy with the way he's doing. Hopefully, the [Woodward] shapes up the way it did last time, and we'll be able to run those horses down."
With his early work behind him, trainer Charlie LoPresti sat in the sun on a red feed tub outside his barn, reading the paper and soaking in a glorious Saratoga morning.
The Brooklyn native is looking forward to the weekend, in which he will send out Successful Dan in the Grade 1, $750,000 Woodward and Turallure in the Grade 2, $250,000 Bernard Baruch Handicap on August 31.
Inevitably, the conversation turned to reigning Horse of the Year Wise Dan, who stretched his win streak to eight in the Grade 2, $500,000 Fourstardave Handicap at the Spa on August 10. He returned to the worktab with a half-mile breeze over the main track in 47.46 seconds on Saturday, the fastest of 38 horses at the distance.
"That was a walk in the park for him," LoPresti said. "I don't put too much [emphasis] on times with him. I really like to watch how he does it and how he comes back. He didn't even act like he worked yesterday. I don't mean that to be bragging on him; that's just how he is. He's just a really special horse, and the more I'm around him the more I realize just how special he is."
Bred and owned by Morton Fink, Wise Dan has won Grade 1 stakes on dirt and turf. He has raced exclusively on grass since beginning his streak in last year's Fourstardave, and LoPresti said he will remain on the surface for the foreseeable future.
"He can run in [the Woodward]. There's no doubt in my mind he can run on the dirt," LoPresti said. "The way he worked here the other day, it was incredible. I just wanted to give him a work to just keep him ticking over, and he worked really good.
"I'm probably going to keep him here now. I was going to send him to Kentucky, but I'm going to keep him here until we leave, which is going to be next Sunday. We'll leave after the Woodward and Bernard Baruch. We'll let them rest through the night and around lunchtime the next day, we'll go home."
Steve Beneto's Sweet Lulu, who remained unbeaten in four starts with a narrow victory in the Grade 1 Test on Saturday, emerged from the race in good shape and will fly back to California on Tuesday, according to Christina Jelm, assistant to Hall of Fame trainer Jerry Hollendorfer.
In the winner's circle following the Test, Hollendorfer said he has no immediate plans for Sweet Lulu but will keep an eye on the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint in November at Santa Anita as a long-term objective.
"[Hollendorfer will] get her home and just let her settle back in, and then they'll start looking at what the next options would be," said Jelm. "He usually spans about a month between races with these better horses. We'll see how she progresses out of this, but so far she is as good coming out of it as she was going into it."
The Test was the first start on dirt and in a stakes for Sweet Lulu, who had all three of her races over synthetic surfaces at Betfair Hollywood Park and Del Mar.
In the Test, Sweet Lulu dueled early, took the lead on the turn, briefly lost the top spot to Wildcat Lily in the stretch, and came back along the inside to win by a head.
"Most people would have thought this was a big jump for this filly, but he was very confident in here," said Jelm. "She has everything you want in a horse: pedigree, conformation, size, attitude, heart, personality."
Since 2010, Hollendorfer, who is based in California, has made seven starts in New York, also winning the 2010 Grade 1 Alabama with Blind Luck and this year's Grade 1 Metropolitan Handicap with Sahara Sky. He also was third in the 2012 Alabama with Via Villaggio and second in this year's Grade 1 Carter Handicap with Sahara Sky.
"[Hollendorfer] does everything right," said Jelm. "Everything is top class. His horses are trained properly. He's a top conditioner. His assistant, Dan Ward, has everything down pat in Southern California. I don't know anybody who works as hard as Jerry. He's at the barn every day at 3 a.m. He lets them develop properly and let them tell him what they need to do and when they need to do it."
Today is the last chance to enter to the "Visit the Ladies of Stonestreet" contest. The winner will receive a dream trip for two in October to Stonestreet Farm in Lexington, Ky., including airfare, transportation, and accomodations and a visit with the farm's famous broodmares, including Rachel Alexandra, Hot Dixie Chick, and Dream Rush.

during the grace period reminding you of pending software updates. As the end of the two-week grace
period nears, the notifications will become more frequent. We recommend completing the software
update installation as early in the grace period as possible.
Here is an example of the pop-up notification (your actual date and time will be different)
We understand that software updates are an inconvenient but a necessary disruption in your daily

Bernie Madoff: No Get Out Of Jail Free Card for Son's Funeral!Emma Brady
Bernie Madoff will not be receiving a get out of free jail card in order to attend the funeral of his eldest son Mark Madoff. The ponzi schemer is opting to stay safely behind bars in order to allow his daughter-in-law and grandkids to mourn in relative peace.
The elder Madoff will instead pay tribute to his son from the prison in North Carolina where he's currently serving a 150-year sentence for fraud after bilking investors out of billions of dollars.
"Mr. Madoff will not be attending the funeral out of consideration for his daughter-in-law's and grandchildren's privacy," his attorney Ira Sorkin said in a statement. "He will be conducting a private service on his own where he is presently incarcerated."
Mark Madoff committed suicide on the two-year anniversary of his father's arrest. Since Bernie's incarceration, the younger Madoff had insisted that he had no knowledge of his dad's shenanigans.
Bernie Madoff could have asked the courts for a furlough in order to attend his son's funeral which would have turned the somber event into an opportunity for angry investment victims to take their ire out on the mourning Madoff family.

Milwaukee, WI – February 26, 2014 – Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson (Rep) and District 2 Alderman Joe Davis (Dem) met together on Monday, February 17th to tour Milwaukee based, Matzel Manufacturing, as they discussed cross party solutions for creating a pro-hire environment for local manufactures. One of those solutions is to work with Wisconsin youth apprenticeship programs which allow young professionals to gain real world experience. The goal is to build capacity in the workforce by teaching emerging professionals a strong work ethic and drive to succeed.
Bradley Tech Senior, Anthony Thao, is an example of how the efforts of Matzel Manufacturing, working with local and state officials, are making a positive difference in the effort to provide young professionals an honorable career. Thao shared that he is very much enjoying his apprenticeship and being a part of the Matzel team, stating that he hopes to join Matzel as a full-time employee once he completes his apprenticeship. When asked what he likes most about Matzel, he added "the different skills and processes I am learning on different machines".
Senator Johnson stated that he believes the foundation of our local economy is founded in our area employers and workforce coming together to create a stronger community. Alderman Davis echoed this message by complimenting companies like Matzel Manufacturing for their innovative solutions when engaging the younger workforce. Davis went on to show favor in Senator Johnson's willingness to reach across party lines to share ideas and create solutions that benefit the public interests.
Matzel Manufacturing co-owners, Brian Nuetzel and Wayne Matthiesen, were pleased to have been the site of Senator Johnson and Alderman Davis visit. Nuetzel is especially pleased to see officials from the city, state, and federal levels actively talking about the issues most pressing to businesses like Matzel. "I'm happy to see our elected officials getting to the root cause of issues that affect each and every one of us", said Matthiesen.

Instructional Resource Development
We work with faculty to design and develop custom course content and educational modules that can explain complex ideas. These modules offer students an opportunity to practice what they have learned or quiz themselves on concepts relevant to their course. We can help through all stages of course development—instructional design, content development, and web delivery.
Faculty Training
We offer hands-on training to faculty in one-on-one, small group, and classroom environments. The training covers the use of the course management system, collaboration tools, file compression, and other "teaching with technology" topics.

Sign up for Office 365
Learn more about Office 365
I have noticed that some Office 365 functions are not working properly on an iPad device. I guess it's because of the lack of Silverlight support on iOS devices.
Anyway, are Microsoft planning to do a Office 365 App för Apple Appstore? I think this solution would solve all problems.
By the way, I think Office 365 is absolutely great! Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback.

What functions do you find not working? Mine runs Sharepoint without any difficulty, but I had to manually configure the Exchange connector in order to do email.
My Access applications when published to 365 and then run on a browser runs just fine on my iPad.
So, my Access forms run and render just fine on my iPad. Access Web services on 365 is rather cool and I think forms from Access work better in a browser then other office applications such as word or Excel. This is much due to the nature of forms in general and how well they work in browsers.
Forms generally do not have a lot of re-plot and display on the screen. In fact editing of data in a form really does not hit the server until a save of record is required. So most of the user time in the form does not need any server side updates or resources. So, forms as a general rule always did work well in a browser, and Access forms for the web are no exception here.
The web based versions of Word and Excel also launch on my iPad. Viewing works quite well, but attempting to edit has caused hangs and some problems. The real issue comes down to that the iPad keyboard display seems to get confused as to when to display and the lack of arrow keys kind of makes this whole thing not work well. The fact that the iPad keyboard lacks arrow keys and has issues as to "when" to display keyboard is really more of an iPad issue then a browser issue.
So, lack of keyboard and basic navigation keys really throws out the ability to do any useful editing anyway. I think perhaps a keyboard application might fix this issue in place of an application for the iPad.
Note that no ActiveX or Silverlight is required for office 365 and as I noted my Access forms published to office 365 works rather well on the iPad web browser.
I kind of doubt that a Microsoft would build an office suite for the iPad. You have to realize that you cannot just install software from your PC onto the iPad. You have to realize that you cannot go to some web site and download software for the iPad. To install and get any software for the iPad you MUST go to Apple and any application for your iPad MUST come from the Apple Store. So Apple has 100% control of what applications they allow into their application store.
So if such an application was written by Microsoft, then Microsoft would have to go to Apple and get Apple's approval and permission for such an application to even be placed in Apple's store.
So, Microsoft can build such an application but it would be under Apple's control in Apples own store and have been approved by Apple.
So the ONLY means to get and install this application would be to go to Apple's store.
It may very well be that Apple would have no problems approving such an application and I not suggesting anything either way in this regards. However, at at the end of the day this would be Apple's call and Apple's choice if such an application was to be allowed in Apple's own store.

On the plus side both Excel and Onenote work fine in the iPad browser. If you have an external bluetooth keyboard or the dock keyboard then the experience is similar to a desktop.
Microsoft do have Apps in the iTunes Apps store and if you are lucky enough to have a US iTunes account you can download the native Onenote App for iPad, iPhone and iPod here: itunes.apple.com/.../id410395246.
Microsoft have not forgotten the iPad and I suspect a release of Word, Excel and Powerpoint may happen before the end of 2011.
Those of us old enough remember that Microsoft actually got its greatest break when they started designing applications (Excel was the first from memory) for a new PC called a Macintosh designed by a company called Apple owned by two blokes called Steve.
Thank you all for your posts.
Just to clarify, I'm having problem with editing Word documents when using Safari on my iPad. And I'm also very aware that I'm not able to install anything manually on IOS devices.
Hi All,
Having also been slightly frustrated with the lack of light editing supported on the iPad, specifically for Word and for PowerPoint I have a proposed solution prior to the rumoured fix that Apple may or may not be working on, perhaps with Microsoft.
I had a closer look at what was going on with the browser, which clearly indicates that the iPad semi-mobile version of Safari was missing something. I'm going to assume this is because iOS for iPad was ported from the iPhone OS, hence a great deal of full browser functionality is missing.
Clearly this is an Apple issue as the large screen of the iPad is perfectly capable of supporting a browser with a much richer feature set.
And now the best bit, I have a solution. You don't have to Jailbreak and it's free too. Download an App called iSwifter and browse to your SharePoint site, open a Word or Powerpoint document, click edit in browser and off you go.
iSwifter is a browser proxy App, so the process actually happens on the iSwifter servers. As the observant among you will notice iSwifter actually exists as a proxy for Flash content, which iOS famously does not support too.
Of course as your content goes via a third party you may want to treat this fudge with caution. I make no warranty to any who use it.
Edit with drag functionality, so you can select text, also works with Puffin. It's a far better experience too although you have to pay for it. It was best 59p (99cents) I've ever spent!
Hi serviceteamit,
Yeah! Great advice! First thing I will do when I get home is to install iSwifter!
Outside of Office 365 I noticed that Microsofts Facebook page and some of the forms on the Microsoft site have the same keyboard issues when accessing them from an iPad so it might not be related to O365, maybe just a Microsoft compatibility issue with iPad in general.
Also, I wouldn't doubt Microsoft indeed has its eyes set on Office on the iPad, I think the issue is going to be on the Apple side of not wanting Microsoft to add a free or near free app that will dominate the app store and push their other apps to the side. There is not question that Microsoft has the best Office Apps out there, even Apple knows this. Afterall, Amazon out a Kindle app out there - and people didn't think that would happen.

This is not an advertisement for Performance. I also believe we should support our local bike shops. California is blessed with many and I am sure that many of you live in areas that don't have that benefit and must shop via the web or mail order. I have not shopped with many of the other on-line shops, but have had great experience with Rivendell and with Performance.
I did want to relate an experience that I had with Performance this week. What started as a somewhat comical process turned into an exceptional learning experience. I had the opportunity to speak with their Vice President of Operations and have to say that I was extremely impressed with his passion for making our experience at their store and web site to be far above average. Performance performed, not because of rules or policy, but because of individuals personal commitment to excellence.
Thanks Performance! Wish every company had your attitude!
A Happy Performance Customer.

In the LA Times, Suzanne Muchnic visits with 90-year-old artist/activist June Wayne. Rutgers University, which established the June Wayne Archive and Study Center in 2002 when Wayne donated a large collection of graphic works, recently published "June Wayne: The Art of Everything." The richly illustrated, 464-page book documents her work from 1936 to 2006. The Bibliothéque Nationale in Paris has a complete set of her prints. Individual works are in dozens of other public collections, and she has compiled a huge international résumé of exhibitions. She's still so full of energy and ideas that she says that getting old is a terrible handicap. "'Nobody makes business deals with someone my age. . . . A show is not less than a year away always, and sometimes three or four. If I want to take on a big project, people look at me and ask, 'Is she going to be around?' With a keen sense of justice and a compulsion to articulate her ideas, Wayne has been visibly and audibly 'around' for a long time. A champion of free speech and artists' rights -- and a thorn in the side of conservative politicians -- she joined an artists' union in 1938 and testified before a congressional committee on behalf of a failed effort to preserve Works Progress Administration art programs as permanent agencies. Fifty-two years later -- in 1990, when the National Endowment for the Arts was under attack for funding exhibitions deemed offensive by Sen.
Any artist who has been discouraged by their dealer from undertaking more experimental work will appreciate Wayne's tongue-in-cheek advice to young artists. "I've always had a problem with the fact that I don't have a signature image," Wayne told Muchnic. "If I have already addressed a problem, I move it along. That's a terrible mistake. When I advise young artists, I say to them, if you want to be successful, develop one thing and do it all the time. But you must teach it to a lot of other people who are not quite as good as you are. They go out and educate the masses to your image and you come along, having done it slightly better, and you make the money. The artist needs not only a signature image but a lot of imitators. And since I keep changing, I obviously have not taken my own advice." Read more.
"She is the doyenne of American printmaking. Her fame rests as much on her efforts to revitalize printmaking in the United States as it does on her dazzling lithographs...Ms. Wayne is an artist in search of the sublime."– Benjamin Genocchio, New York Times
"Her prints, paintings, and tapestries address many of the great themes of our times…her art is a map of our era." – Judith K. Brodsky, Rutgers University, from the preface to the new book
"Her work has been responsive to the evolving history of art during her long lifetime… it is difficult to think of a parallel achievement in terms of its breadth, humanity, ambition, and sweep." – Arthur C. Danto, Columbia University, from the introduction to the book

Originally released in the mid '80s, the Big Nike is making a return in yet another flavor. This time Nike Sportswear brings us an original colorway in brwn/blk/red. The toe cap is full grain brown leather which runs up the lacing holes. The mid panel of the upper is brown textured nubuck, while the heel is made of smooth black suede.
The big Nike logo on the back heel is red with a yellow outline. These retros feature a black midsole with yellow stitching and a brown outsole. The ankle collar is red, matching the textured patent leather swoosh. Most importantly, near the ankle collar is the plaid pattern, making this a true lifestyle colorway.
With the release of several Big Nikes, this is one of the more unique color schemes to date. Look for these to drop at Foot Locker sometime in November. More shots in the gallery.

Yeah, so I went to the dentist yesterday. And I hadn't been to the dentist in, oh, awhile. My mother had been on my case, hounding me, offering to pay — basically everything short of going to dental school herself. (I've got a great mom.) So I finally got an appointment. For yesterday. And just before going in, I started to get a little nervous about what they'd find. Maybe I drank the paleo kool-aid a little too much and thought I was invincible — not realizing that even paleo-flavored kool-aid will rot your teeth.
So I arrive, and the dental hygienist starts to drill me with questions (in a commanding Eastern European accent):
- When was the last time you went to the dentist? Uh, probably about a year and a half ago. Or so. Oh dear, she says.
- I see on your chart that you said you floss regularly. How often do you floss? Oh, every week or two. Dear, that's not regularly. Yes, it is — I regularly floss every week or two. I seeee, she says. [Editorial note: I also floss whenever food is stuck in my teeth.]
- How often do you brush? Twice, sometimes three times a day. Good.
- Does anything hurt? No. Good.
- I also don't eat much of any sugar, no candy at all, no processed food, no soda, and fairly little carbohydrate. Ok.
Then she takes X-rays. They have an awesome digital X-ray machine, so they actually can email me pics of my chompers.
And the verdict?
- You have really beautiful teeth. Oh, why thank you! You must have good genes. Or my diet may have something to do with it.
- Though I do see a little spot here that might be something. Uh oh. The dentist will have to take a closer look. [Editorial note: #@*&!!!]
I'm starting to feel like a really big idiot who should have gone to the dentist more often. I get to dwell on that thought while she cleans my teeth.
She uses this awesome ultrasound plaque removal device. ULTRA-SONIC BOOM! Next up, she uses this amazing high-pressure sand-blaster to strafe my teeth with baking soda or something, in order to polish and whiten them. This was slightly unsettling, especially the part where I accidentally moved, and she soda-blasted the bottom of my mouth.
- So you didn't have a whole lot of plaque. That's cool. But you had some stains. That would be the coffee.
Then she called in the dentist. The moment of truth. I'm definitely getting nervous, releasing some serious cortisol at this point. He comes in and starts picking at my mouth. Then he and the hygienist start talking in dental code. Did you see the D12? Yes, I think it's an PRD. Boy, do I hate that. If you're going to talk about me behind my back, at least have the courtesy to do it behind my back. People these days, no manners.
- Well, you have a cavity. Shoot. Where is it? Upper row, left side, molar next to your canine. It's on the side in between that molar and the next molar. What did it look like on the X-ray? Well, it doesn't show up on the X-ray, that other spot was nothing. But it's early — some of the enamel is gone and it sticks when I press it. What do you recommend? Put in a filling. How much does that cost? ~$350. [Editorial Note: I don't have dental insurance.] I'd like to try a dietary approach first. Hmm…. [long pause]…well, you know that the enamel doesn't grow back. What did you have in mind?
Then I explained about Mellanby and Price.
The dentist said I was free to wait and see, and said he'd be happy to see if that part of the tooth was still "sticky" in a few months, free of charge. Nice guy. Though I have to say, I've never completely trusted dentists. They have a financial incentive to recommend unnecessary procedures, after all.
So I went home and bought some Green Pastures High Vitamin Cod Liver Oil / Butter Oil Blend, already have a lot of Vitamin D, and we're going to run a little experiment of n = 1. And I shot an email to the dentist and bet him $20 that the tooth will heal. Gotta put your money with your mouth is, right? And whether it works or not, you'll hear about it from me.
Oh, one more thing. I looked up the date of my prior visit to the dentist — turns out it had been longer than I had thought. I hadn't been to the dentist in 2 years and 3 months. Oops. Sorry, mom!
Anyhow, stay tuned…
NOTE: I am not encouraging you avoid the dentist. Please go. There are probably lots of factors that determine whether you'll more likely to get cavities: coffee, genes, alcohol, occasional deserts, flossing, mineral content of your diet, and more. Let me be the idiot guinea pig.

If we register at iranican.com to post blogs does our email get published? I see that your bloggers have their emails published.
Hey, you used to write outstanding, but the last few posts have been kinda boring!K I miss your super writings. Past few posts are just slightly out of track! come on!
Did we ever get an update on this? I would like to know the outcome.
Now nearly half a year passed… UPDATE, UPDATE, UPDATE!
2,5 months passed. Please give us an update.
I highly second an update. I'm scheduled for a couple fillings next week. I really want to believe something like these Blue Ice supplement or other nutritional effort will help with cavities.
I found this to be very interesting! Seeing as I am a dental hygienist who recently became aware of the Paleo scene. The past year or two I have dabbled with raw vegan and vegetarian diet..to say the least I am very excited to be trying the Paleo diet for a multitude of reasons. Immune problems related to my skin as well as easy weight management. I love my profession as it is geared as a health model is based on prevention. I do talk with my patients about diet. I really look forward to seeing what results you get with your experiment. There is a point where you are able to remineralize the outer layer of enamel (the outermost white shell of your tooth) so the tooth appears to be healing where the cavity was once larger. But the downside to this and is very common now with fluoride being highly utliized, is that there is still decay on the inner surface of the tooth that does not remineralize depending on how large the cavity was to start. There is a laser that a dentist or hygienist can use to evaluate the density of the enamel to make sure that it has healed and has not continued to decay under a "healthy" outer layer. (called Diagnodent…incase you are interested)
Anyways I just felt the need to post! I love following and researching how the diet and nutritional habits are related to ones health. Good luck!
I'm 23 and have never been to the dentist. My parents couldn't afford it, and I'm not yet working a job that has dental insurance (and I definitely can't afford it.) I'm so terribly frightened, but am anxious to be able to go so I can at least have fixed what's already messed up (nothing visually or anything I can physically feel, at least.)
How much of a dose do you take of that Blue Ice CLO and butter blend? I can't find any nutritional info bc they sell it like a food.
Sounds like a good experiment. I'm looking forward to hearing the result. I'm curious, are you going to cut back your fruit consumption? How much do you eat nowadays?
I'm curious as I've been experimenting with eating maybe a piece of fruit every couple days. Been feeling pretty good, but there was an adjustment period.
Great post John! It's a great service to remind people about the effects that diet and oral hygiene have on dental integrity…If I may, I would like to suggest that daily flossing is probably the single most important maintenance activity for avoiding problems later in life. Sure, many people can get away with flossing once or twice a week (for a while), but eventually, Father Time will work his evil and periodontal disease will result from the combination of gum recession and bacterial action. Every day you floss, you are delaying the onset of big-time dental problems, and over time it will make a big difference! I hate flossing, but I try to do it every day (I manage 5-6 times a week) because I plan to live a long time, and i hate having my teeth worked on! So I want to keep them as healthy as I can for as long as possible.
It's funny, I posted "Dental Health" on my blog a few days ago, and though I don't have high-tech x-rays like you do, I do have a pretty scary picture…I feel lucky to have had few problems with my teeth, though due to coffee, red wine and my dear friend Father Time, my teeth are more like "pearly yellows" than "pearly whites." Oh well, can't have it all! Keep up the great work John!
You might want to check out this blog (or her book) by this "minimally invasive dentist." She offers info that may enhance your efforts.
she would be perfectly happy with your 2+ years between visits. She feels that how you clean and store your toothbrush is very important, as caries is contagious. In other words, change your toothpaste when you change your girlfriend. http://askdrellie.blogspot.com/
She also thinks that poking the sticky spots can slow down healing because it damages the cells that are doing the rebuilding.
Wuite a lot of her program is non-paleo, so take what you like and leave the rest.
Good post.
Not sure what you eat — I am curious if you consume raw grass-fed dairy.
If you don't eat butter and cheese, you can get lots of vitamin K2 from grass-fed beef tallow (and of course, organs), and you can get plenty of vitamin D from pastured lard and pork.
I am curious if you get a lot of bone broth in your diet?
The Japanese don't eat dairy but they eat fish stock with every meal. The Native Americans always ate the part of the body that needed fixing. In other words, they ate testicles for male fertility, heart for heart health, and so on. For bones, bone broth.
The bone broth also helps you absorb nutrients better, as do fermented foods.
Also, if you're not eating lots of organ meats, you can build very strong bones and teeth with lots of seafood, particularly mollusks.
I think the longest I went without seeing a dentist was about 6 years, basically college and a couple years until I had dental insurance. When I did go, I had the beginnings of gum disease, a cracked molar, and my fillings all had to be replaced. A few thousand dollars (because healthcare workers get the shittiest health and dental insurance) and a couple of years later, I started moving towards a paleo/primal-type diet (I had a wonderful experience with a low carb diet (South Beach) clearing up my skin a few years prior, and when I decided to try it again I came across WAPF/Nourishing Traditions, and from there the various paleo blogs). While it did wonders for my gums–I went from 4 cleanings a year to 2–cavities were still an occasional issue. I was pissed when I had to fill two new cavities about a year and a half ago, and then last June the dentist found 2-3 more. I had been reading anecdotes about glycerin-containing toothpastes being a problem…something about it coating the teeth and making it impossible for them to absorb nutrients form saliva. No idea if that's true, but I decided fuck it, why not? I found a glycerin-free toothpaste and started using that. I'll occasionally , maybe once or twice a week, use a flouride toothpaste since they don't add flouride to the water here. When I went back for my next cleaning in December, the hygenist made no mention of any cavities. When I ashed her about them, she said she saw no decay.
So, if you're like me and can't bare the thought of giving up toothpaste while not batting an eyelash at forgoing soap and shampoo, try a glycerin-free one (I use Coral White).
I'd also like to mention that in those 6 months between dental appointments, I had gone on a 2 week trip to Italy, where budget constraints and vacation mentality meant I wasn't even trying to avoid the bad stuff. There were pastries (seriously, wtf is up with Italy and pastries for breakfast? I was once so desperate for a real breakfast that I paid 14euros for an "American breakfast" that consisted of scrambled eggs, bacon, a surprisingly tasty hotdog, tomatoes, and toast (which I ignored) )sandwiches, pizza, and gelato (VACATION!). When I got back it took me a good 2 months to get back into the cooking groove and eating my regular diet, and the cavities still went away. I think there really is something to that glycerin-free thing.
I also have not been to the dentist in a long time… It has almost been 2 years for me! I will have to set up an appointment asap!
This is stupid. You're ideas are completely faith-based. What I mean is, you have a belief (paleo can cure everything), and so you find and believe the articles and facts that support your opinion. You don't address counter arguments, because they are outside your belief.
I agree with many (actually, probably most) of the things you talk about in this blog. I appreciate that, in this post at least, you do mention the fact that a variety of other factors can influence people's teeth. What is often missing from your blog is any sort of admission that every human is inherently different, despite the fact that we are from the same species, due to genetic and environmental factors. Therefore, not everything will work, or be a cure-all, for everything.
Eating paleo will likely help many people with digestion problems, weight issues, or diabetes. It will not cure everyone.
Running barefoot will help lots of people, except those who are going to get hurt anyway. Why is injury from running in shoes due to the shoes, but injury in barefoot running due to some error in the athlete's form/foot structure/whatever? Ridiculous double standard. That's a faith-based belief system that only supports the belief already held.
As for the teeth…you may get lucky and be able to "cure" it yourself. At least you point out that in this one case, this probably won't work for everyone.
I appreciate the research and interesting articles (or sometimes totally random, like the tooth article) you use to support your case. Please sometimes address counter-arguments more fully, to make your argument less faith-based and more evidence-based.
This commet is stupid. He just said it's an experiment, n = 1, steering away from "faith-based" and testing out a hypothesis. That sounds more like science and less like faith. There is no research on the evolutionary diet and teeth, so people don't have much direction, faith or otherwise. I'm happy he is bringing this idea up, planting the seed for people to take a bit more control over their own health and not rely soley on the current practices of dentistry that are inherently flawed and will change any time a new study comes out.
Get real.
Don't forget the vitamin D– that was the most important element of Mellanby's regime. Good luck.
K2, as well? From Stephan's site.
And this summarizes (and links to) them all.
I recently went to the dentist after a 5 year hiatus. I have had no cavities thus far. Unfortunately the dentist convinced my the I needed to fill the sticky spots. So far, I've had one filled. I think I'll wait on the others. I've been taking cod liver oil and vitamin D3 for about 6 months plus a very low carb diet (not completely, I eat corn)
I'm glad to have seen this post! Especially the Reversing Tooth Decay link: http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2009/03/reversing-tooth-decay.html Fillings suck. I never had one until this last dentist visit. Fillings make your teeth more sensitive, which they did not tell me prior to drilling.
Daughter of a dentist here. My dad was actually a big Weston Price fan – my mom too – and we were raised on minimal sugar and grains (not none, but far less than most families), mostly wild game & home-grown organic veggies. I'm 38, my sisters are 36 and 34, and none of us has ever had even one cavity. And lest anyone start yelling about genetics in this, I should point out that both my parents ate "normal" diets before their dental training; my father had very few of his own teeth left when I was born and my mother has had constant dental work all her life, needs a root canal every year or so and bridge work and whatnot. So our dental health isn't genetic. We've also brushed with fluoride toothpaste our whole lives and when we were children, there was fluoride added to the drinking water in our town. Spout the anti-fluoride rhetoric as you will, but I know of several people I grew up with are still cavity-free despite not eating as good a diet in childhood or adulthood as I did/do. So I think that has something to do with it as well.
I have had a similar experience, except I wasn't brought up on as healthy of a diet. Parents required me to eat bread when I just wanted what was between the slices. Anyway, I grew up with Flouride in the water and rinsed with it periodically in school. I believe it helped I have only one filling as of today (I'm 30yrs. old) and it was "preventative". I know better now, the teeth can repair themselves and preventative means "feathering the nest" or an ignorant dentist.
I'm not sure of the adverse effects of Flouride. I have seen some fanatical people speaking against it, but I feel like with other "poisons", when it's taken in small does it can have a beneficial effect.
Thanks for posting your experience.
Don't feel too bad; I've gone 7 years, yikes! When I went back, I had to get 2 fillings and a crown. That was during my SAD years. This summer will be my first x-ray since going paleo, I'm curious how it will turn out since I've been eating better but mostly just brushing with water…
I have gone to the dentist regularly (every six months) for my entire life. I never floss. I seldom have cavities and never between my teeth. Since going Paleo I've had none and my dentist says I will have my teeth longer than I need them. My mother has had horrible dental issues her whole life, but I don't know what to attribute my good fortune to other than genetics since my diet pre-Paleo was pretty atrocious. My sole purpose in going to the denist regularly has always been simply to identify any issues early so they can be dealt with before they get truly expensive. Now that my nutrition is so much better I think my motive for going (other than the cleaning which always feels fantastic!) will be for that smug sense of self-satisfaction.
Keep up with the bone broth too! After being subjected to indiscriminate "drill and fill" dental work over forty years ago, the only work I need now is repairing old fillings. The hydenist loves it because I only need about ten minutes for a cleaning.

Have you read the book "Cure Tooth Decay?" Good stuff!
The hygenist who cleaned my teeth last time asked me about my diet (yes, I was shocked too!) and she said sometimes a higher protein diet can lead to more plaque build up in spots that are close to our saliva ducts. I am not sure at all how valid that is, but I tend to build up plaque in those areas. That said, I do drink coffee with coconut milk in it regularly and I find that brushing and even flossing don't free up that plaque too easily. Maybe part of that is hereditary slightly or just a part of my constitution as my mom and her mom have awful teeth (poor enamel too, most likely related to undiagnosed celiac disease- fun).
Nonetheless, I don't have insurance either and my mom does the exact same thing to me- hounds me about going to the point where she pays for it or I won't go- ha! Luckily the last few visits haven't turned up anything new (hooray for Paleo) and I've gotten the handful of mercury amalgams that I had replaced with white fillings in the last couple of years too. That's a note for people…
If you have mercury/silver amalgams- look for a safe dentist who can remove and replace them a few at a time. You don't want that stuff in your mouth if you can help it!

Thanks for addressing this issue, John. I have been wondering what effect the Paleo diet would have on teeth. I have been plagued with cavities and sensitive gums all my life. I have been eating SAD (Standard American Diet) most of my life.
Since I started cutting out non-Paleo foods one year ago I have had increasingly successful dentist visits with only old fillings causing problems. My last visit I got a clean bill of health, just a reminder to keep flossing. I floss when food is stuck and otherwise very rarely.
I am so intrigued by the article on enamel repair through dietary improvements and supplements so thanks for that link too.
Interesting. I adopted a (mostly) paleo approach about 6 months ago, and for two months have been brushing without toothpaste. I previously had increasingly sensitive teeth due to gum recession, to the point where food or drink of any temperature caused my to wince. That, however, is completely gone now. I never really made the connection.
… looks to me like you caught the good doc on a day he needed to make a boat payment….
Yeah, when I was in college and early in grad school, I went three years without going to the dentist. No issues when I got there. A lot of it is either good genes or good early childhood nutrition because I have a friend that goes every six months and has a cavity almost every time. Your hygienist sounds kind of mean, though. Have you thought about adding magnesium along with the CLO/BO to remineralize your teeth?
dentist here. saw the x-rays, you do have beginnings of dental decay in between your premolars and molars on your left side, but they are all contained within the enamel layer. If you look at those teeth very carefully, you'll see a "whiter layer" approximately 4-5 mm surrounding the crowns of those teeth like helmets, this is the enamel. Once the decay penetrates beyond this layer into dentin, then it's time to drill and fill, but I don't see this yet. Look VERY carefully in between those teeth and you'll see those tiny little black specks, those are the starting decays. I personally do not fill these myself and tell the patient to floss well and cut down on the sweets and will check in 6 months. As long as you stick to the conventional paleo diet, the decay will be contained within the enamel and will not spread furthur, and eventually remineralize and stop completely.
By the way, I'm assuming that it's the interproximal decays (in between the teeth) that are being questioned here. If the dentist had his explorer get "sticky" into a groove or pits of the teeth, which are on the tops and sides of the teeth, then the prognosis is poorer. Especially if you have "deep grooves", it's very difficult to stop the decay from spreding furthur into teeth in these locations.
Other than those tiny specks of decay, you have a perfect set of teeth. People like you will run us out of business.
As a side note, vegetarians have absolutely the worst teeth on earth. Their enamel literally "flake off" when you press too hard on them. The worst is when you have little kids growing up eating that junk. I have a few kids who need root canals because their teeth are so weak from such nutrient deficient diets. Pure child abuse.
I hadn't been to a dentist in eleven years, and before that it was about four years (in part because I have no health care and because I haven't had problems with my teeth or gums), when I finally went several months ago. I had a popcorn husk stuck between my gums and a molar and hadn't been able to get it out. I actually went to two practitioners–at the first place they took x-rays and did a full exam. Everything checked out great. I decided to go to another dentist through a low-income clinic where I live, to get another opinion and a cleaning. Again, after a very thorough examination, everything checked out fine.
I've eaten a vegetarian/vegan diet for about 10 of those 11 years. Maybe the problem you've observed is "nutrient deficient diets," which you allude to, as opposed to a meatless diet. Nutrient deficient diets come in a number of formats, as do nutrient rich diets.
By the way, I don't care too much what people choose to eat, other than I hope it is healthy for them and the rest of the world.
The tooth will remineralize!!! I've had several "spots" like that where they told me I needed a cavity and I didn't do it and the teeth remineralized (I've been through 5 different dentists over the past 12 years or so and each one told me I had a little cavity in a different place and didn't say anything about the one the previous dentist had found.). In fact there was a Consumer Reports article I read — which I can no longer find on their web site — several years ago that talked about tooth decay being very slow to progress and the right chemistry of our saliva and the tooth being fed well from within could even heal the tooth. Not only that but the same Consumer Reports article had said that once you drill into the tooth, you compromise its structural integrity and it's only a matter of time before it all goes down the drain.
Now, having said all that, I did experience my first root canal in the past couple of months. It was in a tooth that not one of the previous dentists had ever said had decay. I am entirely convinced it was because I started eating sugar again last year. In a frantic effort to see if there was an alternative to root canal, I downloaded a book about it and the book was claiming that even root canals might be reversed through diet — and the diet they were recommending was very paleo-ish!!! They were recommending raw meat too. But, well, as can be with most things, it was all happening very fast — too fast — and I was in a lot of pain, and I ended up going with the root canal, but I am on the alert to make sure it doesn't happen again!
Until a year ago (when I read about Paleo and it immediately made sense and I switched 100%) I had been a vegetarian for eight years.
Because I've always had problems with my teeth I had cut out sugar from my diet also around eight years ago. I still sometimes had some dried figs but not much and no honey or other sugar substitutes. I reckoned that with this healthy vegetarian diet (brown rice, porridge, tofu, beans, lots of vegetables and fruits) my teeth would be perfect. But far from it. Every six month there was either a new cavity or some old filling fell out. Having learned that for instance pasta is nothing but delayed sugar I'm not surprised by this looking back now.
Having switched to paleo with just the occassional beer and very rarely some 80% cacao chocolate I hope that it will change. I still have to go to the dentist to get some old filling fixed but then that should be it.
Looking forward to check out your reversing tooth decay link.
Wow, I just read the article by Stephan on reversing tooth decay. Very eye-opening. So, there's lots of phytic acid that prevents remineralization of the teeth not only in whole grains (which I ate predominantly, at one time even raw) but also in nuts. So, I guess, I'll have to say goodbye to the yummy macadamias, brazils, pecans, walnuts and almonds for some time.
Regarding remineralization of the teeth. There is the claim that glycerine, which is a standard component in nearly all tooth pastes- even the 'healthy', non-fluoride ones, somehow 'fills up' the tooth surface and prevents remineralization. Proponents of this theory recommend to brush with soap (glycerine-free obviously) instead. I'm actually doing that. I'm using a mint flavor one by Dr Bronner. The taste is quite alright and it's also very economical. Another advantage might be that it's more gentle to the teeth compared to normal toothpaste which is made up of abrasive particles that basically polish the tooth. Would be great to hear others' thoughts on this glycerine theory and using soap for brushing teeth.
2 years 3 months…no offense but you're amateur I went 21 years without a visit…the ages of 11 till 32 was dentist free. When I finally bit the bullet (to get my wisdom teeth removed), I was literally sh!tting myself. But, somehow, nothing was wrong with them…and I ate a lot of sugar over those years!
Dentist said, and I quote "if all my clients had teeth like yours, my job would be boring". Just lucky I guess, especially considering my mum had dentures by the same age. That was 3 years ago and I haven't bothered to go back!
I went to the dentist for the first time in 8 YEARS this year. I follow a fairly strict Paleo diet, but I do enjoy the occasional soda. My dental routine is similar to yours, floss when theres food in my teeth and occasionally otherwise.
Long story short: hardly any plaque, not one cavity ever in my whole life…yay for healthy eating.
It's perfect time to make a few plans for the future and it is time to be happy. I've read this post and if I may just I wish to recommend you some interesting
things or suggestions. Maybe you can write next articles
relating to this article. I desire to read more issues approximately it!
Hi, John,
it has been a while, could you give us an update? have you healed your cavity? & did you win $20? i'm curious.

The Credit Suisse Research Institute on Wednesday released its fourth annual Global Wealth Report 2013, which found wealth in India rose by 7.4% to $3.6 trillion in mid-2013. "As the world's largest democracy with a strong federal structure and vibrant markets, India has seen rapid growth in wealth since the year 2000," the report said.
According to the Credit Suisse Global Wealth Report 2013, after North America (11.9 per cent) and Europe (7.7 per cent) India has witnessed the highest rise in household wealth.
Globally, household wealth increased by 4.9 per cent to over USD 240 trillion, Credit Suisse said adding that the US accounted for 72 per cent of the increase.
While wealth per adult rose at an average annual rate of 8% from $2,036 in 2000 to $4,700 in 2013, just 0.4% of the Indian population has net worth over $100,000.
Meanwhile, the average wealth per adult globally reached a new all time high of USD 51,600.
The report also found that like most countries in the developing world, personal wealth in India is heavily skewed towards property and other real assets, which make up 86% of household assets.
While wealth has been rising strongly in India, and the ranks of the middle class and wealthy have been growing, there is still a great deal of poverty. This is reflected in the fact that 94% of the adult population has wealth below $10,000, it stated.
At the other end of the scale, just about 0.4% of the population has net worth over $100,000. But due to Indias large population, this translates into 2.8 million people.
India also has 254,000 members of the top 1% of global wealth holders, which equates to a 0.5% share. In total, there are 1,760 ultra high net worth individuals with wealth over $50 million and 770 more than $100 million.
According to the Credit Suisse report, the number of millionaires in India is expected to rise from 182,000 in 2013 to 302,000 by 2018 and wealth per adult in India is expected to rise at a CAGR of 9.3% to $6,600 by 2018.
"Our fourth edition of the Global Wealth Report reconfirms again that Asia Pacific, which accounts for 31% of global household wealth and 61% of the world's middle class of emerging consumers, remains the key growth engine of the world economy and

Grub is the most commonly used bootloader in Linux system. When you boot up your computer, the default Grub screen comes with a black background and white text. If that is fine with you, then this tutorial is not for you.
On the other hand, if you wish to beautify it with your favorite image, this tutorial covers 5 simple steps that you can follow to create and install your custom Grub splash theme.
1. Design your own image
Using any image editor, create an image that is of dimension 640×480. Keep your image simple and not too colorful. As Grub only supports 14-bit of color, if you use a colorful image, there will be a great loss of color and result in a distorted image later when we convert it to Grub compatible format. The best choice is to keep it simple, plain but nice. You can check out gnome-look.org for some inspiration.
Save the image (preferably in jpg or png format, but it doesn't really matter).
2. Convert image to Grub compatible format
Open your image with GIMP (Applications –>Graphics –> GIMP). Go to Image –> Mode and select Indexed.
In the popup window, make sure that the "Generate optimum palette" option is checked. Change the Maximum number of colors to 14.
At the bottom, set the Color dithering option to None.
Go to File –> Save As and save the image with a .xpm extension.
3. Zipped up the image
In your Nautilus (Places –> Home Folder), navigate to the folder where you save the Grub image. Right-click on the image and select Create Archive.
In the window that popup, change the archive type to .gz. Click Create.
4. Install StartUp Manager
Click here to install StartUp Manager. If you prefer to install via your terminal, here's the command:
sudo apt-get install startupmanager
5. Installing Grub theme
Open StartUp Manager (System –> Administration –> StartUp Manager). On the Boot options tab, check the box "Show bootloader menu".
Go to the Appearance tab.
Click on the Manage bootloader themes button. In the next window, click Add to add new theme. Navigate to the folder where you save your Grub image and select the zipped file. Click Close.
Back to the StartUp Manager screen, select the Grub theme from the dropdown bar and check the box "use background image for bootloader menu".
Restart the computer. You should see your custom Grub image in action now.

Currently Maryland's (and most likely other States as well) the CDL Manual says that bicyclists are hazards and that truck drivers should honk at them (ok, in the manual it says tap the horn lightly but still that is totally bogus safety information.)
The League of American Bicyclists (LAB) in their Bike Friendly States (BFS) program had this question:
Which to me implies that there is something better out their then what Maryland has.In the state driver's CDL testing and manual are questions and information regarding motorists rights and responsibilities toward bicyclists included?
We just got this response back from someone at MVA:
This seems to imply that Maryland has the "best" standard CDL manual.Sorry this is a week later, but wanted to be sure I passed along this information with reference to the CDL Manual. It was suggested in the email discussion to update the CDL manual. In fact, Maryland's CDL manual is modeled on the AAMVA manual (American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrations), and the sections mentioned in the email discussion regarding bicycles are actually taken word for word from the AAMVA model. There is a new version being printed this month with changes as a result of national model changes. I double-checked before sending this, and the new version of the CDL manual will have the same language on bicycles.
Because the verbage is basically handed down to us, any updates to the manual are definitely not something that could be easily changed -- likely, any request for changes would have to work their way through nationally. It may seem unfriendly for trucks to blow their horn (or tap it lightly) at bicycles to make them aware of a truck behind them (getting ready to pass), and for bicycles to be listed as a potential hazard to trucks, but certainly the national model to teach truck drivers how to drive safely would not suggest harrassment of bicycles. Both of these sections mentioned are from the section on "Driving Safely" -- with the first under "Communicating Your Presence" and the second under "Seeing Hazards."
Are there better CDL manuals out there if so can you get me links? How about supplementary bike/ped safety pamphlets at MVA any examples of that?

Volumeless Ramp Leaves Stocks Adrift In Election Bliss
With S&P 500 futures volume around 25% below average, it is little surprise that the little-algos-that-could did their damnedest to get up to Friday's closing VWAP. Equities were in a world of their own today relative to broad risk assets with high-yield credit lower, volatility up, and rates lower - seemingly supported by its correlation with oil (which managed to pop over 1% on the day to almost $86). Utilities were hurt the most as QE-sensitive Materials, Energy, and Tech managing to outperform as AAPL levitated from lower lows ($570) pre-open to bring today's price up to Friday's closing VWAP and that's where we wriggled most of the day, with every rally faded at that magical level. Whether investors were placing chips last minute into the election is unclear (Energy outperformance, Financials unch, and Utility underperformance possibly suggest Romney victory and split house?) but certainly conviction was low as evidenced by volume and pre-ramp ranges. Despite USD strength, Gold and Silver also outperformed on the day as Treasury yields dropped 2-4bps.
The S&P ended the day at resistance half-way between Bernanke's Bottom and Draghi's Dream levels...
Risk assets were a little mixed - commodities rallied risk-on-like, Treasuries and USD were more risk-off mode, and credit and vol were in risk-off mode. Summarizing into a single-indicator, the following chart show that ETFs (left) were very much less sanguine than stocks today and broad risk-assets (right) went nowhere as stocks levitated...
Only oil was moving along with stocks as they surged away from the rest of reality in the last hour...
and as the USD leaked higher by 0.22% on the day, so Gold and Silver ignored it and also rose...
Charts: Bloomberg and Capital Context
Bonus Chart: AAPL amazing levitation to Friday's VWAP...enjoy...
And Zillow cut its outlook - 27% later...oops...8-month lows...SAC's recently added 838k shares probably feeling a little queasy right now... (and Citadel's 790k shares)

Oh good they ramped Apple so Im sure Rochdale and Bove can stop whining for $1 billion free dollars now.
In other market news...same old shit, get on those oars and ROW, damn peasants!
An AAPL a day...
Shit, i thought 15% was monkey hammering territory.
Z is hung in the pile driver being driven to refusal..
Its the housing recovery stupid
Like I wrote earlier this is truly stoopid and retarded, I dont even care that im trading well, giving it to red cross
bullshit lives for another day, to be seen if it can survive tomorrow.
Saw that the homebuilders were all up big again. Must be nice to see your stock increase 100% in 9 months on the back of absolutely nothing. Here I thought you actually needed to finish your product to make money. Fuck, I should just claim my company is going to start making 10 million units, yet never finish production and push for an IPO. Much easier than having to sell product to 100 different buyers.
You sound like a venture capitalist.
Time to shut the wells down with the oil price this low.
They need to re-fill the SPR now. Wells need to stay on harder. The government pays top dollar.
I hear all that free FED money is a great energy source, burns well....who needs oil?
Is "leaking" the only verb allowed in these articles? Can't prices rise, fall, move, hold, melt, skyrocket, plunge or soar anymore?
I am surprised the markets did not go higher today just prior to the election. Something is amiss.
Agreed. You know something is amiss when Friday's bullshit NFP beat sent the markets down.
The markets WILL finish green, today and probably tomorrow, no matter the cost. Can't have voters depressed on election day, now can we.
Who even pays attention to stock markets anymore? Everyones broke.
They may want to consider that stock market pumping actually pisses most everyone off now.
Tomorrow, the PPT will be put into overdrive.
Three cheers for the plunge protection team!!!
Dow north of 13000 for the election!!!
Mission acomplished!!!!
Dow equals 420 ounces of silver.
I'm calling that the top.
now I can't get the PM Dawn song that the title is alluding to out of my head-great song though. also-coal stocks will rip if Romney gets in.
It was called "True" by Spandau Ballet before the talentless hacks wrecked it by talking oer it.
PM just sampled "True" by Spandau-the actual lyrics are in the PM song and nowhere in the Spandau song. actually the song was ok and it loosened the honeys up.
Another muppet-slaughteromat.
They will crash this bitch just to get rid of obumer.!!!!
you said "Bernanke's Bottom." eeeyyuuuuuuuuwwwwwww
Everything up. ViX up. It is a race to explosion. A preamble to the bombs bursting in air. Its a premonition to a meteor shower. A nuclear cats trophy and I'm goin joggin.
How convenient for Barry that crude decided to find a bottom right before the elections.
...says prediction markets
