Vista Bridge has always been known as 'Suicide Bridge'
Friday, February 01, 2013 8:38 PM
Portland, OR - January 28, 2013 - Former Portland Mayor Bud Clark lives in an apartment with a direct view of the Vista Bridge, and has witnessed suicides there. Most people who kill themselves choose ordinary places: garages, bedrooms, bathrooms. The Vista Bridge soars over MAX tracks and a busy street. The ripple effect of a suicide there can affect hundreds of people. Should the city put up barriers? Beth Nakamura/The Oregonian

Belnap, Nuel (2002) No-common-cause EPR-like funny business in branching space-times. [Preprint]
Download (151Kb) | Preview
There is "no EPR-like funny business" if (contrary to apparent fact) our world is as indeterministic as you wish, but is free from the EPR-like quantum-mechanical phenomena such as is sometimes described in terms of superluminal causation or correlation between distant events. The theory of branching space-times can be used to sharpen the theoretical dichotomy between "EPR-like funny business" and "no EPR-like funny business." Archived publication PITT-PHIL-SCI00000451 offered two analyses of the dichotomy, and proved them equivalent. This essay adds two more, both connected with Reichenbach's "principle of the common cause," the principle that sends us hunting for a common-cause explanation of distant correlations. The two previous ideas of funny business and the two ideas introduced in this essay are proved to be all equivalent, which increases one's confidence in the stability of (and helpfulness of) the BST analysis of the dichotomy between EPR-like funny business and its absence.

Jenae Paine hit a game-winning 18-footer at the buzzer as Oregon City overcame 30 points by Brittany McPhee of the Rams.
KENT — The potential dividends almost outweighed the immediate disappointment.
Even ultracompetitive Brittany McPhee admits the Mount Rainier High School girls basketball team might benefit come playoff time from Monday's 54-52 overtime loss to Oregon City in the King Showcase at the ShoWare Center.
"I think it's a really good game to prepare us for February, and hopefully March," the star junior said.
Jenae Paine nailed the game-winner at the buzzer, an 18-footer from the baseline that hit nothing but net.

It was the first loss of the season for the Rams (16-1) from Des Moines, Washington's top-rated team in Class 4A. Multitalented Oregon City (15-1) is ranked No. 1 in Oregon's largest classification (6A).
McPhee's two free throws with 3.2 seconds left in regulation tied the score at 46, completing a comeback that seemed unlikely when the Pioneers led 46-37 with 2:50 on the clock. McPhee scored the final nine points of regulation and finished with 30.
"She's a tremendous kid," OC coach Kurt Guelsdorf said of the 6-foot McPhee. "The thing that stands out more than other superstar kids is her motor, getting to the offensive boards."
Four of McPhee's 12 rebounds were on the offensive end. Twin Jordan McPhee added 12 points and six rebounds, despite playing with the flu. She threw up during the break before overtime and didn't return.
Both teams were coming off narrow victories. Mount Rainier went to the wire against Kentwood on Saturday before winning, 63-61. Oregon City held off Clackamas, Ore., by one on Friday.
"That's just the OC way," Paine said of her team's ability to win close games.
Oregon City is a storied program with multiple state titles and has been ranked as high as No. 14 in the nation this season. Three Pioneers seniors have Division-I college scholarships, including 6-foot Jo Paine, Jenae's twin, and 5-5 guard Montana Walters, both headed to Santa Clara. Jo Paine had 13 points and eight rebounds Monday, while Walters contributed 11 points and nine assists.
The Rams were playing their fourth game in seven days and have another Tuesday against a quality Auburn Riverside team. Like McPhee, Mount Rainier coach Bob Bolam took mostly positives out of Monday's game.
"All of our goals are still in front of us," he said.

In response to dreighver's comment:
His home also has solar-panels and eco-friendly appliances, not to mention that Giselle is growing her own garden. And I managed to find this golden quote from Brady after a trip to Africa, where he visited Ghana and Uganda
"This was my first trip to Africa and it was an eye-opener," Brady said in a statement released by DATA. "I saw the best and brightest of the human spirit in the face of incredible poverty that most of us just can't comprehend. I've learned that we as Americans, living in the greatest country in the world, can save innocent lives ravaged by AIDS with something as small as a 25 cent pill.
"When you see what can be done, it's impossible to not be driven to do more -- the needs are still overwhelming. This won't be my last visit to Africa and I hope to pass along what I've learned here to others who will listen."
As I said, if I was a betting man, I'm putting my money on him being more left-leaning.
Oh, then it's obvious. He IS Demipublican.

We ate at a Black Bear Diner in Reno several years ago and I remembered having decently prepared comfort food at a good price, so when we were staying overnight in St. George and noticed another Black Bear Diner near our hotel, we thought it would be an easy choice for dinner.
Black Bear Diner certainly lived up to its name with plenty of bear décor all over the place. The menu is printed in a local-style newspaper. Our server was quite friendly, great with the kids, and stayed on top of our refills. The food didn't live up to my memory of it. It was quite bland and not worth remembering.
As soon as I saw that The Black Bear Diner served breakfast all day, I knew what Mr. Diner would be ordering – biscuits & gravy. He said it was just okay. On suggestion of the server, I got the Tri Tip Dinner. The kids ordered pizzas.
Bear's Choice with 2 Biscuits & Gravy, Bacon, & Scrambled Eggs – Biscuits were okay and the gravy was not very flavorful.
Tri-Tip Dinner – Served with mashed potatoes, green beans, salad, & a corn bread muffin. The sides were okay. I always like potatoes with the skins mashed in there and the beans were cooked with bacon for some extra flavor. The tri-tip had great flavor but was tough and chewy.
Papa Bear's Pizza ($4.49)– Cheese pizza served with applesauce and broccoli. They rarely find a pizza they don't like including this one.
We didn't have room for dessert this time, but their dessert case was filled with good-looking Grandma's Famous Cobbler ($4.99).

The way opponents tell it, a planned $2.3 billion international port in Southport would sell Wilmington down the river. Untrue, state port executives say. They insist that North Carolinas primary port is secure and that arguments to the contrary are nothing more than a scare tactic designed to sink the new 600-acre terminal before it launches.
Backers hope the North Carolina International Terminal will begin operations in 2017, capable of handling the worlds largest container ships. Those docking in Wilmington typically carry about 4,000 20-foot containers. The Southport terminal could accommodate ships carrying up to 12,000. The new terminal was announced in 2005, but the disagreement began heating up in April with formation of a group that calls itself No Port/Southport. Spokeswoman Celeste Plassman says it has several hundred members. Many are retirees who live in the town of about 2,500 near the mouth of the Cape Fear River. They fear a massive port would bring pollution, traffic, and health and safety hazards.
Their attack, though, has been based less on those factors than the new terminals economics and viability. We decided to go with facts only, Plassman, a retiree, says. Those facts, she adds, are that the N.C. State Ports Authority has understated the terminals costs and overstated its benefits. Dredging a channel deep enough for giant container ships would cost more than $2 billion, she says, in addition to the terminals $2.3 billion cost. But opponents say the clincher is the argument that the authority, to make the international terminal viable, would have to close the Wilmington port, more than 20 miles upstream.
Port officials say opponents objections dont hold water. Wilmington and Morehead City are both going to thrive and grow, says spokeswoman Karen Fox. The Southport terminal is going to complement both. She says the authority expects continued growth of container freight to justify the new terminal. That growth should be about 8% a year for the next two years, then 6% a year beginning in 2010. Wilmington will handle smaller container ships as well as general cargo shipments such as wood pulp, steel and bulk materials like fertilizer, Fox says.
Unless, of course, No Ports/Southport manages to sink the new terminal. This has nothing to do with NIMBY not in my back yard issues, Plassman says. The taxpayers of the state have a stake in this.
New gold standard
With $700 million to dole out, the world should beat a path to Golden LEAFs door. But Dan Gerlach, the new president of the Rocky Mount-based nonprofit, says hes not waiting to see who shows up. Were going out and put some boots on the ground, trying to learn what community needs are to have greater participation. But dont expect Golden LEAF, which distributes proceeds from half the states share of the national tobacco settlement, to focus entirely on community projects. It provided $100 million to entice Wichita, Kan.- based Spirit AeroSystems to Kinstons Global TransPark. And Gerlach, who spent seven years as Gov. Mike Easleys chief fiscal adviser before starting the $189,000-a-year Golden LEAF job Oct. 1., says similar transformational projects remain a high priority. Were not doing the job of government, but were going to supplement the role of government.
MOUNT OLIVE Triangle Suspension Systems will spend $6.2 million to open a factory next year. It will employ more than 100 within three years making heavy-duty truck-suspension springs. The DuBois, Pa.-based company will receive $100,000 in state incentives.
MAXTON TCampbell Soup of Camden, N.J., will spend $16.3 million to expand its plant here, adding 50 jobs within three years for a total of 850. It will receive $150,000 in state incentives for the 4,000-square-foot expansion of its 1.8-million-square-foot factory, which is expected to be ready next year.
WHITEVILLE Piramide Mexican Foods plans to open a 48,000-square-foot tortilla factory by early next year. The startup, which will receive nearly $31,000 in local incentives, initially will employ about 20.
WASHINGTON Filter maker Flanders will move its 100-employee corporate offices back from St. Petersburg, Fla., by the end of the year to cut costs. About half of its 1,200 North Carolina employees work here. It moved to Florida in 1998 after it purchased Precisionaire.
GOLDSBORO Wayne Memorial Hospital raised rates 9.5%. In adopting a $195 million budget, up 3.7%, the board cited concerns over bad debt, increasing levels of charity care and smaller reimbursements from Medicare and Medicaid.
GOLDSBORO Cherry Hospital lost federal Medicaid and Medicare payments after regulators ruled that the state mental hospital is unsafe. The payments totaled about $800,000 a month. Investigators cited instances in which staff beat a patient and patients attacked one another. The state hired Compass Group, a Cincinnati-based consultant, to fix the problems.
MOUNT OLIVE Hilex Poly closed its plastic-bag plant, putting about 160 out of work. The Hartsville, S.C.-based company says sales have slowed because consumers are switching to reusable bags.
FAYETTEVILLE MAP Communications planned to add 30 jobs at its call center by the end of October, bringing employment to about 35. The Chesapeake, Va.-based company handles calls for government agencies, nonprofits, health-care offices and other businesses.
MIDDLESEX Baltimore-based Fawn Plastics closed its plant, eliminating 46 jobs. It cited foreign competition. The auto-parts maker once employed about 800 here.
JACKSONVILLE State Board of Transportation member Louis Sewell resigned after questions were raised about road projects that benefited property that he and his son owned. Sewells resignation letter says the road projects were needed but he should have recused himself from discussing them.
GOLDSBORO AT&T will hire 50 more workers than planned at its customer-service center, giving it about 400 by the end of the year. The Bedminster, N.J.-based telecommunications company opened the center in April.

Howard Lyman Part 1
Howard F. Lyman was born in Great Falls, Montana, on September 17, 1938. He was raised on a farm that produced dairy and meat commodities.
He attended Montana State University and graduated in 1961 with a BS degree in general agriculture. Upon graduation he spent two years in the United States Army before returning to work on the farm.
From 1963 to 1983 he was actively engaged in animal and grain production. The areas in which he was involved were dairy, pork, registered Hereford, chicken, range cattle, feedlot beef production, veal, grain, silage, and hay production.
In 1979 Lyman was diagnosed with a tumor in his spine. Faced with the prospect of paralysis, he vowed to return to non-chemical means of farming if he beat the cancer. He survived an operation to remove the tumor and set out to transform his land into an organic farm.
This attempt to fly in the face of the chemical-based farming establishment led him to take a try at political office but he lost his first contest. He became a lobbyist instead and moved to Washington, D.C.
Circa 1990, again facing health concerns, he became a vegetarian and found his health improving. In 1989 Lyman began to investigate Mad Cow disease, which was just becoming an issue in Great Britain.
It was not until April 1996 that Lyman became well known. In an appearance on Oprah Winfrey's talk show, Lyman made remarks which in turn led to Oprah renouncing hamburgers. The National Cattleman's Beef Association sued Lyman and Winfrey. Both were found not guilty of any wrongdoing early in 1998.
Eventually Lyman became a vegan, co-authored the book Mad Cowboy , and became president of EarthSave. Leaving that post, he became president of Voice for a Viable Future.

Syringe Access & Disposal
As of January 1, 2015, pharmacists across California may sell or furnish any number of syringes to adults 18 and older without a prescription, as part of the state's strategy to prevent the spread of HIV, hepatitis C, and other blood-borne pathogens. The law also allows adults to possess syringes for personal use, if acquired from a pharmacy, physician or authorized syringe exchange program.
Business and Professions Code Section 4145:
- Assembly Bill (AB) 1743 (Ting, Statutes of 2014) expands the role of pharmacists in this important work and removes prior restrictions on pharmacy practices. The overwhelming medical and scientific consensus is that "Non-Prescription Syringe Sale" (NPSS) helps slow the spread of hepatitis B & C, HIV and other blood-borne diseases without contributing to increased drug use, crime or unsafe discard of syringes.
- Allows pharmacies and physicians to furnish or sell any number of syringes without a prescription to adults 18 years or older. The bill removes the 30-syringe limit that had been been in place through 2014.
- To encourage safe disposal of sharps the law requires pharmacies to counsel customers on safe disposal and do at least ONE of the following:
- Make sharps containers available for purchase; and/or
- Make mail-back sharps disposal containers available for purchase; and/or
- Participate in syringe take-back and disposal.
Keep in mind:
- Counties do not have to authorize these sales.
- Pharmacies do not have to register with local health departments, keep logbooks, fill out paperwork, or ask for identification to sell syringes without a prescription.
How do we know it works?
How do we know it works?Researchers evaluated a pilot program in several counties in California, and found that, consistent with research findings from other states:
- People who inject drugs who purchased syringes from pharmacies were LESS likely to share injection equipment, reducing their risks of transmitting blood-borne diseases
- Participating pharmacists reported only minor challenges in implementing syringe sales.
- There was no increase in unsafe discard of syringes in the community.
CalHEP worked with hepatitis activists, HIV advocates, drug policy reformers, and the largest associations of pharmacists, physicians and nurses in the state to push AB 1743 by Assemblymember Phil Ting (D - San Francisco), to make syringe access through pharmacies legal in California. Now that it is law, we are part of an effort to educate pharmacists and encourage them to participate in the program and to provide information to the viral hepatitis community. Check back often for updated information and news.

One of the things I talk about in my research is the process by which various immigrant communities in the United States have slowly been assimilated into the category of "white," with all the political and cultural power that entails. This is obviously a process that has been going for a very long time; books like David Roediger's The Wages of Whiteness and Noel Ignatiev's How the Irish Became White trace that history especially amongst working-class Irish immigrants in the early 19th century. The latter book has always been particularly fascinating for me, both because it examines my adopted home of Philadelphia, and also because it was the rare work of critical race studies that actually crossed over into a mainstream market. It was widely discussed when it came out, and I seem to recall that supposedly Bill Clinton read it avidly.
The 1950s, which is of course my own area of interest, saw another surge in assimilation. There were many factors involved in this, but the one particularly highlighted by this reunion was the geographic mobility created by World War II. Cultural coherence requires spatial coherence; it's a lot easier to maintain traditions if you live in one neighborhood, where your church, community center, social club, local newspaper and radio station, and all sorts of other institutions can cater to your language and traditions. As soon as the massive migration to the suburbs began, those institutions became to difficult to maintain--just by way of example, the percentage of radio stations broadcasting in a language other than English declined by 40% between 1942 and 1948.
And all of this happened in dialogue with academia and politics. The period after World War II was when the mainstream social science consensus began to use the term "ethnicity" rather than "race," that is, privileging culture over biology. This was a move made with liberal intentions, although certain categories of human beings--especially African Americans and Asian immigrants--were still subsumed under the idea of "race" rather than "ethnicity." This tension over who counts as biologically different as to who counts as merely culturally different was especially reflected in McCarran-Walter Immigration Act of 1952, which substantially liberalized immigration for those coming from Europe, while maintaining strict quotas for those from other parts of the world. This was accomplished by pinning immigration to the 1920 census: each European country was given an annual quota equal to one-sixth of one percent of the citizenry in 1920 descended from that country. Effectively dismissing immigration from the previous three decades, the Act had the effect of encouraging more immigration from Ireland and Germany, and less from Eastern Europe. The rest of the world, however, was treated not along ethnic lines, but the racial: immigrants from Asian countries were counted together as one block, rather than individual countries. And if you were, say, a Brit of Asian descent, you were counted as Asian rather than British, and had to fight for one of the 2,000 slots allowed from Asia.
As the country yet again begins to discuss immigration reform, it's always good to remember these past engagements. Purely racial arguments are rarely made in mainstream political discourse anymore; we more often hear arguments having to do with culture. Language, obviously, but as one defendant of the proposed Arizona anti-immigration law puts it, also fashion, even shoes. When someone starts spouting nonsense like this, it's a good guess that there is a racial logic underneath!
Rep. Bilbray: They will look at the kind of dress you wear, there's different type of attire, there's different type of—right down to the shoes, right down to the clothes. But mostly by behavior it's mostly behavior, just as the law enforcement people here in Washington, DC does it based on certain criminal activity there is behavior things that professionals are trained in across the board and this group shouldn't be exempt from those observations as much as anybody else.

Breast cancer, is painless and many women can live with it for years without detection, however regular examination of breast and early report of symptoms to the nearest health facility could save the situation.
Mostly late reporting at health facilities with breast cancer tends to leave physicians with the only option to remove the affected breast.
These were some of the serious concerns raised by Dr. Mrs Beatrice Wiafe Addai, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of BCI during a day's free breast cancer education and screening organized for women within the Chirano, Akoti-Etwebo and Paboase catchment area of Chirano Gold Mines Limited (CGML).
She stated that fear, stigmatization, high patronage of herbal concoction and over-reliance on prayer centres has been the cause for the delay in reporting breast cancer cases for prompt attention by women.
Dr. Addai said all women are prone to breast cancer but early detection could prevent the removal of breasts affected by cancer and assured the women that it was curable if detected early.
"Many women who have even had one of their breast removed due to breast cancer can still survive and live a very successful and meaningful life but this calls for early diagnosis and detection" she added.
The exercise was fully sponsored by CGML and formed part of the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives of the company.
Mr. Stephen W. K. Mensah, Community Relations Superintendent of Chirano Gold Mines Limited, said it will continue to support not only in the provision of infrastructure but will also assist in whatever ways to improve the health and social standards of the various communities and therefore appealed to inhabitants of the area to patronize all initiatives introduced to improve their standard of living.

WASHINGTON D.C. - Papers filed by political humorists in Federal Court accuse The Republican Party, its elected officials, conservative bloggers, Fox News, and CNBC of "crossing the line in self parody" and "creating a situation that is difficult to satire" by acting "so effing weird." The comics, some of them funny, are seeking damages in the hundreds of dollars to make up for lost revenue.
A visibly legendary Mort Sahl addressed reporters in a threadbare sweater, his hands flopping nervously in the breeze since the newspaper he planned to carry had gone bankrupt. "This is a career for many of us," said Sahl shyly. "Politicians and talk show hosts holding up tea bags day after day has taken it's toll and jokes are becoming increasingly difficult to write. For example, the KKK protested at Republican headquarters and burned uh ah a giant tea bag on the front lawn. See? No place to go. I give up."
A noticeably muscular Carrot Top whispered to Sahl that the Klan had, in fact, burned a giant bag on the lawn of the Republican party. Sahl's head exploded. Shocked reported recoiled in horror then high-fived because was sort of cool looking, really.
In a separate suit, Richard and Sal from the Howard Stern show claimed that Republicans had ruined the humorous value of tea bagging.
Lawyers for the class action suit showed tapes of recent episodes of Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and the House Republican caucus. After the crowd stopped laughing they pointed out that these were actual video tapes, not way out parodies. That seemed to confuse people. Lawyers played the tapes again and then people got very quiet and sad and most of them walked away from the TV and didn't say anything for a very long time but they told themselves that they would never vote for a Republican again, ever. Later they forgot all about the scary tapes but wondered why they didn't see Republicans any more like they used to in the old days.
Bill Maher defiantly lit a cigarette that appeared to be marijuana, inhaled and then coughed just as he was about to speak. This was not related to the lawsuit in any way and happened in the bedroom at Maher's home, thousands of miles away in California.

Video: Taxpayer dollars being wasted
ATLANTA -- Would you expect the government to hand you cash to go the liquor store, spend a night out on the town, or pay your way for a day at Six Flags? We discovered that's what's happening with hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars that are supposed to help kids in need but are going to adults instead.
SPECIAL COVERAGE | Watch all our stories exposing EBT card misuse
Last year Georgia handed out $50 million in cash to needy families. We discovered that no one is really watching how the money is being spent, but we are! 11Alive's Center for Investigative Action obtained electronic records of more than 850,000 cash and ATM transactions from 2011. After spending weeks analyzing the data, we discovered not only was there evidence that money was going to pay for liquor instead of helping kids, you're paying for it!
$148,948.36 was redeemed in liquor stores. $4531.19 at Tobacco Shops. $920 at out of state Casinos like Harrah's in Cherokee, North Carolina and Bok Homa in Heidelberg, Mississippi. $5685.00 was even redeemed at Six Flags here in Georgia.
"Wow, wow," said Ann Carter who administers the State's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program.
The money comes from the federal government but the state administers the TANF program, handing out as much as $568 a month on Electronic Benefit Cards (EBT) which work like a debit or ATM card and can be used at ATMs or to make purchases. And how is the money supposed to be used?
"The TANF program is really to help, you know, families, needy families, and the intent of the TANF program is to provide services for the children - their food, their clothing, their housing," Carter said.
She was surprised when we showed her how much money was redeemed in liquor stores, especially at Jaxx Beer in Albany, where $97,609.80 on EBT cards was cashed in.
We went there to see what was going on. A store manager, who would only identify himself as Robert, told 11Alive that most of the EBT cards were redeemed for money orders to pay bills. There was also an ATM on site that accepted the cards where people can get cash. However, we all know you can't get change out of an ATM. Yet our data we received from the state showed several transactions at Jaxx Beer in amounts like $78.41, $48.20 and so on.
"Do you want to go back here? I'll show," Robert said as he took us to the back of the store to look the up the transactions on the store's computer system. "I can pull any. You give me 10 of them, and I can pull them randomly and show you what was bought on them."
The very first one he pulled up from our list from February 2, 2011, in the amount of $16.97, was Absolut vodka. He was surprised by it. He said he had to go and promised to look at more of our transactions and get back to us. He never did.
The Department of Health promised to investigate and conduct its own audit into what we found. We will continue to bring you updates as this investigation moves forward.
You can look at some of the numbers we discovered after analyzing the raw data to see other places where the cards were redeemed.

Disease Proof
Childhood diet linked to asthma prevalence, adult diet linked to asthma severity
Asthma has skyrocketed in the U.S. – the prevalence of asthma doubled between 1986 and 2005. Obesity is known to mechanically compromise proper function of the lungs and airways and is associated with asthma-related inflammation. Increased prevalence of asthma in obese individuals has been demonstrated in several studies, and there exists a dose-response relationship such that as BMI increases, asthma risk increases. Obesity is thus an independent risk factor for asthma. It is now widely believed that the rise in childhood obesity is a causative factor for the recent rise in asthma. [1, 2]
In addition to obesity, metabolic abnormalities in children and teens, such as high cholesterol, high triglycerides, and hyperinsulinemia, regardless of body weight have now been associated with asthma. This means that even if a child is of normal BMI, the standard American diet is likely taking its toll on lung function, producing early metabolic abnormalities that may set the stage for asthma, obesity, diabetes, and other chronic disease. [3]
In adults who already have asthma, previous data has been inconclusive when trying to determine whether obesity affects asthma severity. However, there is a strong connection between poor nutrition and asthma, including evidence that a single high-calorie, low-nutrient meal can spark airway inflammation, which can exacerbate asthma symptoms. Asthmatic adults consuming a single high-calorie, low nutrient meal, high in animal protein and added fat (1,000 calories worth of fast food hamburgers and hash browns) showed increased airway inflammation four hours later. Researchers compared this to a 200 calorie meal, which did not increase inflammation. [4]
Obesity, resulting from the cumulative effects of years of overeating low-nutrient, high-calorie food is a risk factor for asthma. However, deleterious effects of a low-nutrient diet on lung function occur even in the short term, and can begin early in life. Collectively, these studies tell us that asthma is another disease whose major causes include poor nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle.
Since asthma is both a lifestyle- and inflammation-related disease, dietary changes and weight loss are effective at improving asthma symptoms. A high-nutrient diet floods the body with protective micronutrients, reduces inflammation, and promotes weight loss – allowing the body to resolve the risk factors for asthma mentioned above (obesity, high cholesterol, etc.). Dr. Fuhrman has had much success using a high-nutrient diet to treat patients with asthma – many recover completely and no longer need asthma medication. He recently conducted a survey of hundreds of nutritarians, in which 82% of respondents with asthma reported a significant improvement in their symptoms after switching to a high-nutrient diet. Here is just one example:
"Dr. Fuhrman has truly been a blessing to me and my family. My husband has lost weight as so has my 11-year-old son. My son had put on a lot of weight and has asthma, making it almost impossible to complete the running portion of a physical challenge in gym class. But a couple of weeks ago, I had tears in my eyes as he crossed the finish line without wheezing!
I have more energy and have never felt this good. I tell everyone I know about Eat To Live and Eat For Health and will continue to sing Dr. Fuhrman's praises.

4. High-fat meals a no-no for asthma patients, researchers find. ScienceDaily. , in American Thoracic Society 2010 International Conference. 2010: New Orleans, LA.
i wish my parents had had this information when i was a child, while they were ferrying me back and forth to the hospital three or four times a year. four years into my family's nutritarian adventure, and my kids are a million times more healthy than i was when i was at 6 and 9. my younger son began kindergarten a few weeks ago, and takes his lunch every day. his teacher complimented me on those lunches for being so healthy, and on the enthusiasm my son has while eating it! she even asked me to come in to do a healthy cooking demonstration for the class! i've been re-reading all the recipes in Disease Proof Your Child, looking for something good to make :) thank you Dr. Fuhrman for indirectly helping me defeat asthma and keep my kids healthy!
Like so many of the benefits of your diet that I see mentioned here, one can expect the same results from a low carb, whole foods diet that includes copious amounts of animal fat and protein. My asthma disappeared when I started low-carbing eight years ago. Just sayin.
A relevant but strangely ignored or not generally known fact about asthma is that the change between weak (asthmatic) and strong (healthy) breathing is dependent on abdominal muscle tension. Slackening the muscles here causes abysmally weak and asthmatic breathing. Training the muscles, for example by "abdominal hollowing" (see Web articles) produces an antiasthmatic effect. Abdominal muscle tension plays a prominent part in Asian martial arts. I tend to breathe asthmatically after an evening meal or in pollen-laden air.
So it is fair to assume that there is a natural breathing spectrum with an asthmatic tendency at one end and Ku Fu or Karate breathing at the other end. For a few words on the Japanese version of Asian breathing see http://www.lrz.de/~s3e0101/webserver/webdata/OBT.pdf
Breathing powerfully into my lower abdomen with tensed muscles provides an effective cure for me. But then I've always been sceptical about medical wisdom on asthma: such a paradoxical and doctor-baffling increase in the last 40 years with modern inhalers. Respectfully, Richard Friedel

EPoX is a second-tier motherboard manufacturer based in Taiwan founded in 1995, over 10 years ago. They have quiet as of late in the US market, as the ever-changing motherboard market has mostly ignored their motherboards except for a few vendors. Recently, EPoX has re-emerged in the US market with a line of motherboards called Optimus, named I guess after the Transformer Optimus Prime. Long-time comics and cartoon fans know the Transformers are the Autobots versus the Decepticons and the board is styled after that series in a conceptual sort of way.
Multiple GPU solutions have taken the form of two main competitors, SLI and Crossfire from NVIDIA and ATI, respectively. While many more motherboards support Crossfire than SLI, due to ATI's relaxed stand towards other manufacturers having Crossfire support (i.e. Intel), NVIDIA's SLI solution has the lion's share of the market of multiple-GPU solutions actually in use (Steam survey 3/1/2007 NVIDIA 96%, ATI 4%.) Today, the motherboard on the review slate is the EPoX Optimus AD580 XR motherboard.

As a Pennsylvania historian, I have always been fascinated with the early American iron industry in southeastern Pennsylvania where our iron ore mines were excavated by Colonists to meet the growing demand for the local iron furnaces. However, these iron foundries had to meet the needs of our local PA Dutch farmers before they exported pig iron abroad to England . Foremost among these needs were the cast iron five plate stoves to heat our early American farm houses attached to the rear wall of a central located fireplace in which they cooked on an open hearth. Among the Americana foods prepared by the PA Dutch were waffles made on a long handle fireplace waffle iron, which were often in the shape of a heart with diamond or tulips cast within the iron plates. A laborious way of baking batter poured waffles made one by one over an open hearth heated with logs. Today, these 18th Century antique waffle irons are rarely found, unless they are in PA Dutch museums.
But after the iron foundries started casting iron stoves to replace open hearth fireplaces, waffle irons made for 19th Century cast iron kitchen stoves became very practical for housewives to use. These later circular designed waffle irons were very popular with farm housewives who made a great number of waffles to feed their large farm families who consumed these chicken and waffle dinners eagerly. It was a simple task of pouring waffle batter in an artistic waffle iron, heating it on the wood fired kitchen range and then flipping the plates around to heat the other side, �was child�s play.� So the entire family could get in on the action. But the cast iron plates of the waffle iron had to be greased with lard, less the wood fired stove might cause the waffle to be burned, a household task that was soon managed by all the family who loved eating waffles. With different condiments, including butter sprinkled with brown sugar, but Chicken and waffles were best made with a creamy chicken sauce that enhanced the flavoring.
In the post Civil War period, there was hardly a PA Dutch farm family that did not have two or three locally made cast iron waffle irons from one of our Berks or Lehigh County furnaces. In fact, waffle making was so popular among the PA Dutch farming community churches quite often used this dish as a favorite reason to enjoy fellowship with members. But less likely was the alternative choice, �turkey and waffles.� But any talented �pot-luck� cook could fashion a gourmet topping for her waffle dish.
In my photo of Mabel Wetzel of Lehigh County pouring a 19th Century waffle iron with batter into Mary Bieber�s family waffle iron who lived at Rockland Township. She is heating the waffle iron on an Orr and Panther Stove made at Reading, owned by Freddie Bieber. Note the crock with a spout made just to pour waffle batter on this post-Civil War cast iron stove.
With so many iron furnaces smelting iron in the Pennsylvania Dutch Country there was no shortages for individuals to by artistic designed waffle irons. Some of them were divided in four sections with hearts in relief not just diamond and playing card symbols. Making waffles to eat when extra guests arrive to visit was a typical Dutch hospitality treat for everyone to enjoy. A Pennsylvania Deitsch treat long before we had modern electric household waffle irons.

As healthcare struggles to reinvent itself, a confluence of major societal forces has irrevocably changed both the business world and the healthcare landscape.
Those forces include globalization; market deregulation and privatization of businesses; new conduits of information such as the internet, telecommunications, and media; increasingly complex and technologically sophisticated products; and an unprecedented erosion of trust in corporations and institutions. The changes have also had direct and profound impact on the pharma industry and on the vigor of larger healthcare business, resulting in new communications opportunities and challenges.
This article describes communications techniques that address healthcare market trends and needs. It discusses how those techniques are essential and interrelated because of the many stakeholders that pharma companies must reach and relate to, not just once or twice, but in a continuing, mutually beneficial way.Relationship Imperative The growing importance of building relationships among influencers results from several significant trends:
Above all, an aura of uncertainty hangs over the US economy, and the pharma industry in particular. As soon as the public spotlight falls on a certain area-accounting, management investment practices, the role of directors, or product safety-that area changes not only for the company under scrutiny but often for all companies perceived to share similar attributes. A negative regulatory ruling can, and often does, bring down the entire public pharma sector, not just the stock of the company in-volved. There's no better example of the powerful effect uncertainty can exert over established practices than the new PhRMA Code on Interactions with Healthcare Professionals, which went into effect on July 1, 2002. It affects the way pharma companies handle entertainment, consultants, healthcare practices, and medical education. As a result, companies must find new ways of communicating within the code's ethical boundaries. That will take some trial and error because the rules are still being rewritten.
Companies and brand owners find it increasingly difficult to control the market. Branding has been reborn as a business unto itself and not just a promise made to consumers in the marketing of products. The communication must be reinforced over time through consistent messages. Branding requires that actions and messages directed at stakeholders be uniquely relevant to each subset of each target group, as well as integrated and aligned.
Brand and company success re-quire building and maintaining trust through open, interactive exchange of information. Consumer activism, the increasing focus on social responsibility, a stronger link between brand identification and corporate reputation, and brands that deliver "experiences"-such as allergy medication taken at a baseball game, not just products, are all solid reasons for investing in relationship building among stakeholders.
In the world of pharmaceuticals and healthcare, there are four dominant constituents with which PR personnel must build and maintain relationships.
Prescribers. This group includes doctors, nurse practitioners, and in some parts of the world, pharmacists. Also included in the category are medical trade reporters and editors. In the past, prescribers had the first and last word about a treatment regimen. They were the source of all information and, with few exceptions their wisdom went unquestioned. Today, open communications channels, a more informed and cynical public, and the do-it-yourself nature of information retrieval have toppled that group from its pedestal.
Investors. Individual and institutional investors, analysts and portfolio managers, financial and business trade journalists, business partners, and current and potential employees all require attention from PR professionals. Who'd have guessed that Wall Street analysts' persistent questions about pipeline products' viability might change how a large pharma company prioritizes its research? Or that companies only be judged not only on the basis of their science but also for their ability to maintain a strong balance sheet and make their quarterly numbers-and defend their patents in the courtroom?
Overseers. This category consists of regulators, thought leaders, formulary directors, and anyone else who has an impact on pricing, market accessibility, and exerting external controls.
The information and communication needs of each group are distinct. PR exists to create and facilitate lines of communication to build relationships among them. Although there have been profound changes in the ways that media spread that communication through talk programming and pop culture, media is not the be-all and end-all of public relations.
PR is not short for press release. Rather it is about creating trust, understanding, and awareness. It's about facilitating communications among internal and external stakeholders and coordinating numerous functions, including corporate communications, finance, science, knowledge, and marketing.

By opting for a credit freeze, consumers can put a block on their credit file, in order to prevent identity theft. This is done if some of your vital information has leaked and you feel threatened. A credit freeze will prevent criminals and fraudsters from opening new lines of credit.
What will be the impact of a credit freeze?
Any new creditors, employers, and landlords will not have access to your credit report, if you put a credit freeze in place. They will simply receive a message or a code that indicates that the account has been frozen, when they try to access your file. This will stop most creditors to extend any new credit, as they won't have access to your credit report, thereby protecting you from further identity theft.
An identity theft can cause countless problems for a consumer. Thus, sometimes canceling a credit card or closing a checking account simply isn't enough to prevent fraud. In order to ensure that no new lines of credit are opened in your name, a credit freeze is a good way to make sure.
Charges for a Credit freeze
Consumers who have a police report that can be documented to show recent abuse to their credit profile can get a credit freeze for free. But if you simply want to freeze your credit profile without documentation, you will have to pay a small fee. Different states charge different fee.
In California, if you aren't a victim of credit fraud, you will be charged a credit freeze fee of $10. This happens if you fail to provide documentation. Every credit bureau charges $10 exclusively, so the total cost will be $30.
It is important to block all three bureaus as blocking either one or two credit bureaus would do little to protect your identity, if the third allowed creditors to view your credit report.
How to execute a credit freeze
In order to execute a credit freeze, you will have to write to the individual credit bureaus at the addresses given below. Make sure that you send the letter by certified mail, and contact the individual creditor first to find out what information they need from you to execute such a freeze, including payment details.
Equifax Security Freeze
P.O. Box 105788
Atlanta, GA 30348
Experian Security Freeze
P. O. Box 9554
Allen, TX 75013
TransUnion Security Freeze
P. O. Box 6790
Fullerton, CA 92834-6790
If you're married, the bureaus will require both you and your spouse to send separate letters and payments to place a freeze on both accounts.
How long do credit bureaus take to execute the credit freeze?
Credit bureaus will take around five business days to place the freeze on your account, after they receive your letter. You'll receive a PIN number from the creditors, after they block your file, which you'll need to keep handy to lift a freeze in the future.
You'l have the option of lifting a freeze temporarily or permanently, on one all accounts. The associated fees will vary. You can lift a credit freeze by phone, by using your PIN number. The credit bureaus will take around three business days, after receiving your phone request, to lift the freeze.
A credit freeze will not allow any new creditors to view your credit score or credit report, and a credit freeze will not lower your credit score. You can also order a copy of your own credit report even if your account has been frozen.
But do keep in mind that existing creditors, collection agencies working on their behalf, and government agencies can still access your credit report.
A simply fraud alert may not be enough to fully protect your credit profile. A credit freeze is a good way to make sure that further identity theft doesn't take place.
It can also prevent damage to your credit score. You should definitely go for it in case you have a threat of fraud, but keep in mind that it may be frustrating if you need to open a new line of credit, such as a new cell phone plan, insurance policy, credit card, auto lease, or a mortgage, which will be difficult to do with a freeze on.

Our range of Ruapehu accommodation is perfect to explore all that the region has to offer; and the fact that Ruapehu is home to not one, but two National Parks, indicates just how much this actually is!Read More
Both parks are as diverse as they are treasured; there is the volcanic landscape of the Tongariro National Park (a World Heritage listed area), and the remote Whanganui National Park, a park of diverse landscapes. The Tongariro National Park is perhaps the main attraction of the area. It holds a special place in the heart of many New Zealanders; not only is it the location for three of New Zealands most impressive natural features - the active volcanoes Ruapehu, Tongariro and Ngauruhoe – but it was also New Zealand's first National Park. The volcanic hiking and skiing in the area is second to none… it's not often one can claim to have skied down an active volcano, but with our range of Ruapehu accommodation this feat is only a stone's throw away. The Whanganui National Park is a stunning location for hikers and kayakers. In a single national park, one feels as if they are exploring several different worlds; there are fast running rivers, slow running rivers, waterfalls, deep gorges, and vast wilderness areas with countless types of fauna and flora. Use our Ruapehu accommodation in both the winter and summer. In the winter, the area is a haven for ski bunnies. Mt Ruapehu is home to two of the largest ski areas in New Zealand; Whakapapa on the northern side, and Turoa on the southern, and can also lay claim to the fact that it is home to New Zealand's longest vertical drop – 722m, at the Turoa field. Snow season generally runs from late June until early November. In the summer, enjoy the hiking and kayaking. There is something for every traveller here, year round. In short; the Ruapehu area is a chance to enjoy all that natures beauty offers; however, there is also an excellent range of shops and restaurants in the area for those needing their daily dose of metropolitan interaction. Use our Ruapehu accommodation to explore the many cafes, restaurants, pubs and clubs in the region. There are many fashion label shops, and of course any hiking/skiing/kayaking equipment you might need is easily found in one of the many camping and adventure stores.Hide

Be a Spectator
Seeing a Muay Thai fight is usually on the to-do list of everyone who visits Thailand, and Chiang Mai has three very distinct venues on offer. Most tourists will encounter touts and posters pointing them towards the two most convenient locales, where the fights may arguably be less authentic. The third place is an old stadium where local Thais go to see the fights, and it might take a little more work to get there.
First off, the cheapest fights in town can be had at the Loi Kroh Entertainment Complex with its assortment of lady and ladyboy bars surrounding the arena. It's possible to sit at any of the bars and enjoy the fights, being solicited to tip out some of the fighters occasionally after their matches. Tipping around 20 baht is appropriate, and considerably cheaper than what it costs to see a match at the other two popular venues. Keep in mind that the fights are generally not much more than training sessions between rival schools, and the bouts are not so serious, though some nights you might catch some good action. The Loi Kroh Boxing Arena is the cheapest, most relaxed route to go, but you also get what you pay for.
Another venue that is quite convenient for visitors, but which hosts arguably more 'real' fights, is at the Thapae Boxing Stadium right behind Thapae Gate on Moonmuang Road. Because of its central location, fights are often fought before a well-packed crowd of mostly foreign tourists. Look for a tout on the sidewalk to point you in, or let the noise coming from the back guide you as you take the stroll down the narrow alley entrance. Admission is about 500 baht, with a higher price for VIP seats closest to the ring. This is a place where visitors who feel uneasy about the sport, or who don't wish to go out of their way can sit in relatively familiar comfort surrounded by a good number of fellow tourists. The fights may be Thai on Thai or Thai on Westerner bout, and can be quite exciting. There is plenty of alcohol available as well, as the boxing area also contains a small grouping of bars. The celebratory atmosphere of so many young holidaymakers enjoying the fights over drinks makes this a fun venue and a good night out.
For those that are inclined to find the most 'realistic' fighting venue, it's necessary to hop in a tuk-tuk and go across the river to the old Kawila Boxing Stadium. This place gets less press, is less convenient, and the fighting events are longer. The price is about 500 baht per person, with a chance to pay more for ringside seats, just as at the Thapae arena. Fights in the older and well-worn Kawila Boxing Stadium feel much more authentic than at the two tourist-drag locations. General admission bleacher seats give plenty of visibility, but the people at Kawila are also generally ok with people coming down from the stands to crowd closer to the ring. One small word of advice: As this place is the real thing, in case you do witness any gambling over the fights, it's advisable to simply look on and not participate. Have fun, enjoy the show, and take a tuk-tuk back to your hotel or guesthouse – the Kawila Stadium is further than you think, and there's a good chance you'll get lost otherwise.
Be a Participant
There is also another segment of people who come to Chiang Mai for a chance at a few introductory Muay Thai lessons or to embark on serious training. The deadly art of Muay Thai is Thailand's national sport and has a history going back hundreds of years. It is alternatively known as 'the science of eight limbs' for its use of elbows and knees to strike an opponent. The art is known for its lethal potential and for its toughness, and offers participants a chance for an incredible workout while learning self defense at the same time. The top gyms in Chiang Mai's have kept things simple and traditional, even as interest in training for the sport has grown in the last 20 years. There are several camps around town, each with their own vibe and reputation.
By far, the camp which has had the most press in the last few years is Lanna Muay Thai, as it produced a champion fighter who went on to fight even while transitioning from being a man to a woman. The Beautiful Boxer story of Nong Toom, as she is affectionately called, brought many more new fans to the sport and loads of publicity about the gym. Despite the glitz of movies though, the camp remains dedicated and simple, continuing to turn out more champions, and is still a family-run business. These days, they have also expanded and run another intensive mountain-top camp closer to Chiang Rai for those who wish to really focus.
The Chai Yai Gym in Nong Hoy is a nearby favorite that has been around for years, and takes its name in from their most famous fighter, Chai Yai Sittehpitak, who has held several national titles from Lumpinee in Bangkok. They are located fairly close to the city and are open to all levels of students. For those travelers or locals to pick up a few quick drop-in lessons, this is a great gym to do it at.
With a similar story to the others, the newer Santai Muay Thai Gym has been open about ten years, and is run by two famous former champions. They are located a bit outside of the city in Sankamphaeng, but can easily accommodate students who wish to stay near the camp full-time. It's possible to arrange a room and even motorcycle rental through them, or they even offer basic room and board at the campsite free!
Chiang Mai has a few camps catering to Thais and westerners alike to choose from, all of them sincere, and each offering lessons for modest prices. It's no wonder people from all over the world come here to train Muay Thai.

text: I trusted my boss was being fair to me and everyone else on our pay. We are all friends and get along great. I thought he was a trustworthy guy, but found out he isnt as trustworthy as i thought. Now first I relize a boss/company will try to pay as little as they can get away with, but this is rediculous. Hes told us that $11.00 - $13.00 an hour is all he can afford to pay a person in my position. I make $12.75. Its very low compared to the average in the surveying field for what I do, but we all try and work together and be fair. He recently hired a new guy from Atlanta to fill a vacant position like mine. We all assumed he started out at around $12-$13 an hour. We found out via "check stub in truck", he is making $17.50 an hour! To beat it all, he doesnt have a clue how to do the job and is so slow. I set 17 pins and marked 10 lines in 8 hours, while he set only 2 and marked one in the same day!! I even have to show and explain to him how to do the job when we are working together. Ive lost respect for my boss and feel taken advantage of, and now relize he only acts like he want to be honest just to keep the rest of us low paid so he makes more. He has been told we all know about the huge pay gap, and he is going to give us all a raise next week he says. Dont know how much... Most raises he gives are only .50 on the hour. im loosing it.

May 29, 2016
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Things are looking up for firefighters in Northern California today, thanks to some cooler weather.
Officials say a fire that spread across nearly six square miles in Napa County and moved into Solano County is now 40 percent contained.
South of San Francisco, a fire that started in Santa Cruz County Friday has been contained after charring just less than a square mile. That fire forced roughly 2,000 people to flee their homes.
However, firefighters in southern New Mexico are still trying to stop a wildfire that has consumed more than 67 square miles of grass and brush since starting in the Lincoln National Forest.
A U.S. Forest Service spokesman says two other lightning-sparked wildfires have burned more than 46 square miles in New Mexico.

July 01, 2008Reviewer: Alana in CaliforniaY'know.... it does have that aftertaste, tho I am becoming accustomed to it. It has the feel of regular granulated sugar and is easy to work with. It bakes and cooks like a charm. I have used it in cookies and my homemade spaghetti sauce and it was not disappointing. I am going to give that Diabeti Sweet a try tho as it claims to have none of the aftertaste. I'll letcha know.
