Susser Holdings 1Q loss widens on higher expenses
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) — Convenience store operator Susser Holdings Corp.'s first-quarter loss widened, stung by higher operating expenses during a seasonally slow period.
The operator of the Stripes convenience stores said Wednesday that it lost $528,000, or 3 cents per share, for the three months ended April 1. A year earlier it lost $23,000, breaking even on a per share basis.
Analysts polled by FactSet expected breakeven earnings per share.
Total operating expenses increased to $113.4 million from $105 million.
Revenue increased 21 percent to $1.41 billion from $1.17 billion, helped by better fuel sales and merchandise sales. Wall Street predicted $1.4 billion in revenue.
Average gallons of fuel sold per store per week rose 5.8 percent to about 30,000, with gas prices up 31 cents per gallon on average.
Merchandise sales at stores open at least a year rose 6.7 percent. This figure is a key indicator of a retailer's health because it excludes results from stores recently opened or closed.
Susser, based in Corpus Christi, Texas, maintained its full-year forecast for merchandise sales at stores open at least a year to climb 3 percent to 6 percent.
Its shares rose 91 cents, or 3.2 percent, to $29.23 in morning trading Wednesday after rising to a new all-time high of $29.64 earlier in the session.
Susser has about 1,100 company-run or contracted locations. It has more than 540 convenience stores in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma under the Stripes name. Restaurant service is available in more than 330 of its stores, mostly under the proprietary Laredo Taco Co. brand.

Dickey shows mixed emotions
A day after he was traded to Toronto and finalized a $30 million, three-year contract with the Blue Jays, pitcher R.A. Dickey talked about leaving the New York Mets.
The 38-year-old knuckleballer, who won this year's National League Cy Young Award, was a fan favorite.

"I think it's important for me to grieve leaving New York," Dickey said Tuesday. "I had a proverbial home there. I had a home among fans. I had a home in an organization. I had a lot of success there, and I think it's important for me to be sad about that for a moment before I move on to the next feeling."
That next feeling is glee about joining the amped-up Blue Jays, who have added five All-Stars during the offseason, with Jose Reyes, Josh Johnson, Mark Buehrle and Melky Cabrera preceding Dickey north.
"I can't tell you how excited I am to be part of an organization that's committed to winning and putting a product on the field that the fans can be excited about," Dickey said.
Dickey, who pitched for the Mariners in 2008, was to earn $5.25 million in 2013 with the Mets. The Mets offered him an additional $20 million over two years, short of what Dickey wanted.
Meanwhile, one of the players the Mets acquired in the Dickey trade, 20-year-old pitcher Noah Syndergaard, apologized for a posting on his Twitter account this month in which he used an anti-gay slur.
Red Sox, Drew reach agreement
Boston reached a $9.5 million, one-year agreement with shortstop Stephen Drew.
Drew, 29, played for Arizona and Oakland last season. He is the brother of former Boston outfielder J.D. Drew.
Casilla to stay with Giants
Right-handed reliever Santiago Casilla has completed a $15 million, three-year contract with the World Series champion San Francisco Giants. Casilla, 32, was 7-6 with a 2.84 earned-run average and 25 saves for the Giants this year.
Tampa Bay signs right-hander
The Tampa Bay Rays have signed right-hander Roberto Hernandez — the pitcher formerly known as Fausto Carmona — to a one-year deal worth $3.25 million. Hernandez, 32, has pitched seven years in the majors, all with Cleveland.
Hernandez, 0-3 with a 7.53 ERA this year, was arrested last winter in the Dominican Republic on false-identity charges that were dropped when he completed a work program. Major League Baseball later suspended him for three weeks.
Former pitcher Pastore dies
Frank Pastore, a former major-league pitcher who became a Christian radio-show host, died Monday from injuries suffered when he was struck by a car while riding his motorcycle Nov. 19 on a freeway in Duarte, Calif. He was 55.
The accident came hours after Pastore pondered the risk of motorcycle riding on his radio show, in which he discussed the possibility of life after death.
"At any minute, I could be spread all over the 210 (freeway)," he said on his final show.

Due to a lack of funds I had to make do with another eBay bargain last summer and this Spyke 2 piece set of leathers was picked up for £90.Buying without trying is something I never learn from so it was always going to be potluck if these fitted me properly. Unfortunately they proved to be just a bit too small.I had to rob an older suit of mine to put some armour in the knee pockets and the back protector in the jacket was little more than a token gesture. As these were bought second hnd hand I'm guessing some of the original armour had gone missing.The jacket was extremely short and the zip connecting it to the trousers broke after a few months. I got a local dry cleaners to fix that but an already tight fitting suit then became unbearably too much and it had to go.They've made it no further than my garage floor recently but after getting them out to take this picture I might clean them up and see if I can get some beer money back.Apart from the zip breaking (possibly not helped by the sizing issue) the suit seemed to be of a high standard. The leather seemed to be good quality but luckily for me I never had to put it to the test. I have stuck with Spyke for my current textile jacket used for my daily commute and that's going great.

One Hen, written by Katie Smith Milway and illustrated by Eugenie Fernandes, provides a unique and interesting story serving as an example of how loans are used and how one can start his/her own business. The story is kid friendly and clearly illustrates the steps that are necessary to start a business, defining important economic terms such as "loans," "trade," "bargain," "savings," and "profit." The story as well as the graphics and illustrations provide a great example for children to easily relate to in understanding economic concepts. The progression of the story and the way it is written help to explain how a small business can grow and expand. The bold sentences offered on each page with illustrations provide a great way to easily summarize ideas of each passage. The detailed information offered as well also gives students a further in-depth look at starting a new business.
This book tells the story of a young boy named Kojo who gets a loan from his mother to buy a Hen. He uses the Hen to provide eggs as food for him and his mother as well as to sell at a market and start a business. The eggs that Kojo sells from the hen he bought give him enough money to buy more hens and sell more eggs. From the money Kojo saves, he is able to pay back the loan to his mother, pay the fees to attend school, and eventually go to college. With the help from a bank, providing him with a loan to buy his own land and start his own farm, Kojo is able to head a thriving business, which in turn employs others and has tremendous effects on the country with other growing businesses,
"And it all started with one small loan to buy own brown hen" (pg. 27).
The end of the story provides a real life example of a success story similar to Kojo's story, a man named:
"Kwabena Darko, a real boy from Ghana's Ashanti region who really did lose his father and have to help his mother support his family" (pg. 28)
The end of the book offers examples of real people who have been helped by small loans from micro-credit organizations and also provides lists of such organizations and different ways which we can help. The glossary on the last pages define different African terms as well as economic terms, for children to further understand topics in the story and other economic concepts.
Curriculum Connections:
This book can be used in a second or third grade classroom to explain, from one specific example of a young boy from Ghana, how loans work and how to start one's own business. The story helps students learn about bartering and the use of money in exchange for goods and services (SOL economics 2.8). From this specific story, students will recognize how people specialize in what they do best and how they trade to account for everything else (SOL economics 3.8).
Additional Resources:
1. This website provides a lemonade stand program to help kids learn about business. It has developed a business plan to use a lemonade sale, including the steps needed to start a lemonade stand program.
2. This website provides a lists of jobs for kids, such as babysitting and lemonade stands, and other ways for kids to make money. This site encourages saving and budgeting skills for kids as well.
3. This site is a wonderful resource because it provides different presentations, in powerpoint format, about economics for kids. Some topics that are included are goods and services, bartering, business plans, marketing, and basic definitions of economic terms and concepts.

I have a 1300 sq ft 42 year old house and recently purchased three very efficient window air conditioners with digital temp readouts on them. One is 12000 btus and the other two are 6000 btus each. The reason I bought three is to better distribute the air among the house and I try to keep the house at 76 degrees when I am in need of cooling. I cannot install central air right now because I have a hydronic heating system. Anyhow the larger unit cools the kitchen, living room and dining room but does not run long when it is on, about 5 minutes max. I know air conditioners are more efficient when they run longer. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me with this problem? Thanks!
Many things can cause an A/c to short cycle. Check that there are no obstructions near the air outlet. If cold air is being redirected back to the A/C it thinks room is cold and shuts off. Also,if the room is too small the same will happen. Try using a floor fan to move the cold air out of the room. If the outside air temp is lower than 68F then the evaperator could frost up. If A/C has a frost sensor on it, it would shut down also. Air filter can be dirty. Condenser coil could be clogged. Thermostat could be bad.
I do not have information regarding your room air conditioners, however, you can install central air if you have hydronic heating. The unit is called an air handler and it is typically installed in the attic with registers installed in the ceiling. The condensor is outside the house the same as in a central air configuration.

The Townsmen came together in a twist of happenstance following the break-up of Ottawa's Esquires. Dave Milliken of burgeoning Ottawa dance hall act The Darnels received a call from The Esquires' drummer Paul Huot wondering if he, or other members of the Darnels, would care to join Huot and Esquires guitarist Andy Legault in a new band. Darnels' guitarist Milliken, bassist Wayne Leslie and vocalist Frank Morrison jumped at the chance and The Townsmen were born.
The group went into seclusion and rehearsed for 3 months solid - taking a 5-night a week gig at The Coral Reef Club until emerging with manager Sandy Gardner (The Esquires, The Staccatos) and a record deal with Regency Records.
Gardner searched for repertoire that the band could record -- mainly picking British records that had not made the charts in Canada. He also tapped Les Emmerson and Vern Craig (The Staccatos, Five Man Electrical Band) to write exclusive material for Frank Morrison and Andy Legault's voices.
To that end, the duo wrote the band's first single "I'm Such A Dreamer" while the B-side ("Take A Heart") was taken from a 1965 single by The Sorrows.
Their first gig was opening for The Staccatos and M.G. And The Escorts at the Ottawa Coliseum before 3,000 people. The band's first single, "I'm A Dreamer" (1966), was on its way to No. 18 on the national chart at the time.
A national tour followed opening for many of America's top acts at the time -- The McCoys, Gary Lewis And The Playboys and The Young Rascals. By the end of 1966 there was a line-up change with the addition of Bacho and Stanton and the band released more singles.
The band had a succession of moderately received singles from 1967 thru 1969 before the band finally packed it in.
A brief reunion of the band occurred in 1987 for a one-off Ottawa charity. Most of the members went on to careers outside of music. Legault unfortunately, passed away.
Mouse Hole Music in Ottawa released a comprehensive 2-CD set of all the band's recordings in 2006 called 'We're Doing Fine'.

Illusionist Ed Alonzo is dishing details to People magazine about Britney Spears' upcoming Circus tour. Alonzo claims that his magic show will play an integral role in her stage show, "She'll do dissection, where she's sawed in half, and transposition, where she's in one place and ends up in another place."
Intense dance sequences, huge circus rings suspended in the air and "all the classic elements of magic" constitute the major elements of the pop star's performance.
Question: how did she find an Alliance-approved assistant with such short notice?

Button reminds me of Alonso in many respects - not the absolute quickest driver, but he makes up for it with consistent and error free races. Like Alonso, he's better than most in the rain. I'm baffled by people who rate Alonso as one of the fastest drivers. He himself has admitted that he's not - and he's not exactly renowned for his modesty.
Button had four DNF's and several other races marred by problems this year, without which he might well have mounted a title challenge. He won't be the bookies favorite to win in 2013, but he'll probably be third favorite after Vettel and Alonso. If the McLaren is as strong as this year and they fix the reliability issues then there's no reason he can't win.

Tony Styxx doesn't write poetry and beatbox simply for entertainment.
While his quick-paced wordplay and picture-painting imagery leaves audiences eagerly anticipating each line, the Indianapolis artist feels his work has a higher purpose.
Every poem he writes documents the highs, lows and in-betweens about living.
"We poets, we singers, we rappers, we're the library of life," he said.
Styxx, a human beatbox and spoken word poetry maestro, will perform at 7 p.m. today at the Christian Theological Seminary Shelton Auditorium. He'll join indie musician Son Lux and conceptual artist Kathryn Armstrong in an event titled "Lanterns Raised: Journeys Through Art."
The kickoff program of the annual Spirit & Place Festival will feature the three artists discussing the transformative power of art.
Tickets are $15 and are available at the door. The Christian Theological Seminary is located at 1000 W. 42nd St., Indianapolis.
How did you get started doing this?
I started professionally around 2007, in a Starbucks here in Broad Ripple Village.
I started out doing poetry there. After that, I started doing poetry hardcore in the Indianapolis wing and traveling throughout the Midwest.
Around 2009, I started taking the musical aspect of it very seriously. Entertainment in general has been my cup of tea for the last seven or eight years.
What is it about spoken word and mixing it with music that you've found helps express yourself?
It's the stories. If you look at early versions of country or of symphonic opera, they tell stories just with the change of pitch or the length of a note, to get your point across or to paint a picture emotionally.
Where do you get the inspiration for the stories you're telling?
Life. Life is the biggest inspiration I have, for any of the stories I've done. It's one thing to look at life flat-faced, if you look at the negatives going around. But music is there to uplift, to inspire, to tear down racial barriers and walls. It's been there through it all.
How did you get involved with Spirit & Place?
(Executive director) Pamela Blevins Hinkle found me through the opportunity I got performing with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra. She wanted to know if I'd be interested in doing something with the festival.
What are your thoughts with performing with two other people?
Son Lux and Kathryn, I'd never heard of them before. I love working with people I don't know. We haven't contacted each other yet, but I like the surprise aspect of it. Just to watch each other, and then sit down and see what comes out of it. It'll be a lot more organic on stage.
Someone comes out to see this performance, what can they take away from your art?
It's kind of like food. If you go out to eat, you get a bowl of beef Stroganoff and I get a bowl of beef Stroganoff, what you tasted and got from it is not going to be the same as mine. It's the same with music.
But is there a shared response that people have at your shows?
I hope you take a great experience from it. I'm pretty sure that you will. As a performer, I always set out to be emotionally stirring. I don't write for your amusement, or to the idea of what you think poetry is. I'm not going to write like the masters. I'm going to write like Tony.

The U.S. Coast Guard last weekend issued a warning of a possible terrorist attack by either swimmers or divers and ships, not to mention ports, are operating under additional security. The new warning -- last month President Bush's administration had said that it had learned of possible terrorist activity by scuba divers -- was sent to local units of the U.S. Coast Guard. These units alerted port authorities and the maritime industry and provided specific safety recommendations.
Does this impact cruise ships? A spokesman for the U.S. Coast Guard was purposely vague about the warning but cruise industry executives say they didn't need this latest bulletin to spur security enhancements. In essence," says Michael Crye, president of the International Council of Cruise Lines, an industry organization, "we are already doing the kinds of things the rest of the maritime industry is discussing today."
Like? Some measures cruise industry executives will talk about -- some they won't. "The coast guard has been high on the way cruise industry handles security," says Radisson Seven Seas' Mark Conroy. Cruise ships have constantly been on "level 3" security since the events of September 11 and that includes heightened measures like screening all luggage, not just carry-ons. Provisions are also carefully checked before being loaded on board. Passengers are carefully cleared with manifests being sent to customs and immigrations officers at all ports at least 24 hours before arrival. There's a waterside watch as ships come in and out of ports so no other boats can get too close. Ports have upgraded their security procedures adding, in many cases, armed officials.
Ultimately, Conroy notes, cruise ships have some advantages in terms of creating a secure environment. Among them:
* Ships themselves have limited access and all those access are set up with security equipment such as cameras and are manned by security staff when opened.
* All sensitive areas on the ship are secured behind locked heavy doors which are monitored by security equipment.
* We embark guests in ports that have restricted access and by their nature are secure by the local governments. Most have a detailed security plan that complies with IMO and ISO standards for certification.
"Then," Conroy says, "there are things we can't talk about."
ICCL's Crye says that while the industry takes all Coast Guard warnings seriously, it's taking this latest one in stride. "We have no information of a specific threat directed to cruise ships," he says. "No information."
Bottom line? Says Crye, "safety and security of our passengers and crew has always been the highest priority of the cruise industry and it always will be. This is an extremely, extremely safe vacation experience."

Any of you ride fixed clipless? I saw a brave soul today clipping in as he rode away. I thought he was nuts. I have yet to see even messengers clip in. Not sure I'm ready for that experience.
How 'bout you?
Any of you ride fixed clipless? I saw a brave soul today clipping in as he rode away. I thought he was nuts. I have yet to see even messengers clip in. Not sure I'm ready for that experience.
How 'bout you?
"I will remain the stranger who came from a faraway land." Lance Armstrong
"The more you drive, the less intelligent you become." Miller "Repo Man"
Yes,ive done it,and know several that still do...went back to toe clips/straps cause cleats wear out too fast and suck to walk in.Plus in winter they get screwed by ice/salt.They work ok other than that,just beware that if one unclips unexpectedly while your going fast,you will crash.
I ride my fixxie clipped in and I dont have any problems with it. You have to have the pedals in the right place when you take off and you must time your dismounts correctly but it isnt very hard. Try an spd style pedal if you are worried since they are double sided and fairly easy to clip and unclip from.
Your bike mechanic is wise beyond your wildest dreams.
If you can't be good at one sport then you can be okay at three.
i ride fixed and clipless, no big deal. the only problems i've had with riding clipless is one that would happen on any bike, freewheel or not, and that's having snow freeze on the pedals when i've got the bike locked up outside. getting started and dismounting are no different than riding with toeclips, really.
i ride bikes.
All the guys, out of this shop, ride fixed and clipped, either Looks or Speedplays. The messengers I have talked to prefer clips and straps for easier walking.There is even a guy, on the cutting crew, who stops in from time to time, when down from Chicago, and picks up metal Zefal clips from us because the Chicago supply seems to have dwindled.

I am in the woods and I have gone crazy.
Run MTB style clipless pedal and shoe. I use that setup on my commuter and have no problems walking around after my rides if I just need to wonder off somewhere.
Speedplay frogs have the mechanism in the cleat, so freezing is not a problem.
Count me among the clipless/fixie riders. I have one w/clipless (campus pedals) and one w/toe clips...I like clipless better.
You'll never feel more connected to your bike than riding fixed and clipless. I'll be doing it today - on the trails.
If you are riding on the road, wear MTB shoes or casual/touring type shoes and you don't have to worry about cleat wear.
I use Speedplay clipless with my fixed road bike (same as my freehub road bike). I use it as a training tool and don't really stop anywhere to walk around.
I can't imagine not using clipless on any type of bike. I can remember using straps and cages. That was inconveinant and dangerous. I can remember trying to turn around on a road while locked in. I was on my back with the bike above me and my shoes still clipped in.
If you need to walk around they make mtb type clips also.
I think clipless is one of the greatest advancements in cycling in the last 30 years.
Most messengers in boston i've seen dont go clipless but use straps, however I have seen a few with speedplays. Personally when I try it I'll use my eggbeaters as they're my easiest to get into and out of pedals.
At my last race we had a team time trial event, and they had an entire team riding fixie trackbikes riding clipless with look pedals (this wasn't a flat time trial course either). It was a pretty awesome sight, huge chainrings and disc wheels. Apparantly one of them had a puncture on their disc wheel tire at 45mph and stopped without any incidents what so ever which was good. Well good that he didn't get hurt not that he had a flat.
Oh yeah, is it possible to do jumps on a fixie? I can't imagine trying to bunny hop.
Jumps, bunny hops, log piles - all possible and lots of fun. Launching a jumping and pedaling in the air is a wild feeling and sure to get you looks.Originally posted by streners
Oh yeah, is it possible to do jumps on a fixie? I can't imagine trying to bunny hop.
I run Egg Beaters on all my bikes, including my fixie. I never thought about it. Egg Beaters seem ideal because you don't have to fool with them. No fumbling for the right side, just clip in any of the 4 sides. I used to use Looks which I loved, but I tried the Egg Beaters so I could use mtb shoes for commuting. I loved them immediately, and put them on all my bikes.
If it ain't broke, mess with it anyway!

"Until now, my identity as a writer," Jonathan Safran Foer, who wrote "Everything Is Illuminated," said last week, "has never overlapped with my identity as an American — in the past eight years, my writing has often felt like an antidote or correction to my Americanism. But finally having a writer-president — and I don't mean a published author, but someone who knows the full value of the carefully chosen word — I suddenly feel, for the first time, not only like a writer who happens to be American, but an American writer."
When a friend sent that quote to me, I thought I was going to hurl. I didn't realize by American was such a bad thing, that following in the tradition of Saul Bellow and Philip Roth and Michael Chabon was such a handicap.
Foer's comment reeked of the same elitism as when the permanent secretary of the Nobel Prize committee fallaciously explained the lack of American Nobel laureates in literature by saying: "The U.S. is too isolated, too insular. They don't translate enough and don't really participate in the big dialogue of literature. That ignorance is restraining."
Foer will be at the Celebration of Jewish Books at American Jewish University today. I'll be stopping by—more on that later—but avoiding his talk.

College Hockey:Black Bears Attempt To Unseat North Dakota in D1 Poll
No. 1 North Dakota, No. 3 Colorado College set to do battle
MINNEAPOLIS — With a championship in its new Subway Holiday Classic tournament, North Dakota maintained its hold on first place in this week's USCHO.com Division I Men's Poll. However, No. 2 Maine trails by just a single point after a narrow 3-2 win over Cornell in the Everblades College Classic, held in Estero, Florida.
Colorado College was idle during this weekend, which was dominated by tournament play, but defeated visiting Western Michigan twice in the only action of last weekend. With the wins, the Tigers snagged a lone first-place vote and the No. 3 ranking in the country.
This sets up an intriguing match-up for next weekend, as No. 1 North Dakota hosts No. 3 Colorado College for a pair of games, in what promises to be the toughest series yet for the Fighting Sioux. The main criticism of North Dakota's outstanding 18-1-1 record is that it has been against weaker opponents; only one of the 20 games has been against a team currently ranked in the top 15. The iron of the schedule is coming up, as the Sioux play eight of their next twelve games against ranked squads.
Minnesota also won its own tournament in dramatic fashion, thrilling home fans with a 2-1 overtime victory against No. 7 Boston College in the Dodge Holiday Classic. With two wins, the Gophers improve to 11-4-4 and climb to No. 4. Boston College has also lost four games, but all of those losses have been by a single point and three of them have come in overtime.
No. 8 Denver also won its tournament, making WCHA teams 6-0 in tournament games that they hosted. The Pioneers won the Denver Cup convincingly with a pair of shutouts, dropping No. 14 Miami 6-0 before polishing of No. 6 New Hampshire 4-0 in the title bout. Denver has next week off.
The holiday tournaments seem to be a curse for the No. 5 Cornell Big Red and head coach Mike Schafer. After losing a squeaker, 3-2, to Maine in Florida, Cornell lost the consolation game 1-0 to No. 9 Ohio State. Last year in the same tournament, Cornell boasted a 9-2-1 first half record before it lost a heartbreaker to Northern Michigan, 4-3 in double overtime, and was shutout by Ohio State 2-0 the next day. This season, the losses were just numbers two and three for the Big Red, which fell to No. 5 this week, but are in good position to make a second-half run in the ECAC.
The USCHO.com Poll is compiled by U.S. College Hockey Online, and consists of 40 voters, including 28 coaches from the Division I conferences and 12 beat writers from across the country. The poll is published weekly by the Associated Press.

text: Okay so I currently have a Surly LHT, a Surly Pacer (Road Bike) and a couple of racing bikes. My LHT is my go anywhere bike, but for touring fairly light, by which I mean I rarely use front panniers unless I am going into serious backwoods or remote places, it seems a little like overkill, just a bit too sturdy,. too heavy, too rugged. I love it, but was wondering what other's experiences might be on something like a cross check with a rear rack. I have heard a lot of good things about the cross check, and know a few guys who race them for cross, but wanted to know how they have faired for light touring.

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota's Health Department has organized two pertussis vaccination clinics in the western Black Hills, after an outbreak of the disease better known as whooping cough.
Shots were being given in Rapid City on Wednesday, and a clinic was scheduled Thursday in Spearfish. The clinics are targeted at infants, children, adolescents and pregnant women who are not current with their pertussis vaccinations.
State Epidemiologist Lon Kightlinger says if people aren't sick there's no need for them to see a doctor. He says officials are instead encouraging people to check their immunization status, and get a shot if they're not up to date.
More than one-third of the 29 cases of pertussis so far this year in South Dakota have been in the Black Hills.

Scientists: Earthquakes, El Niños fatal to earliest civilization in Americas
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — First came the earthquakes, then the torrential rains. But the relentless march of sand across once fertile fields and bays, a process set in motion by the quakes and flooding, is probably what did in America's earliest civilization.
So concludes a group of anthropologists in a new assessment of the demise of the coastal Peruvian people who built the earliest, largest structures in North or South America before disappearing in the space of a few generations more than 3,600 years ago.
"This maritime farming community had been successful for over 2,000 years, they had no incentive to change, and then all of a sudden, 'boom,'" said Mike Moseley, a distinguished professor of anthropology at the University of Florida. "They just got the props knocked out from under them."
Moseley is one of five authors of a paper set to appear next week in the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The people of the Supe Valley along the central Peruvian coast did not use pottery or weave cloth in the settlements they founded as far back as 5,800 years ago. But they flourished in the arid desert plain adjacent to productive bays and estuaries. They fished with nets, irrigated fruit orchards, and grew cotton and a variety of vegetables, according to evidence in the region unearthed by Ruth Shady, a Peruvian archaeologist and co-author of the paper. As director of the Caral-Supe Special Archaeological Project, Shady currently has seven sites in the region under excavation.
Most impressively, the Supe built extremely large, elaborate, stone pyramid temples — thousands of years before the better-known pyramids crafted by the Maya.
"They're impressive, enormous monuments," Moseley said.
The largest so far excavated, the Pirámide Mayor at inland settlement Caral, measured more than 550 feet long, nearly 500 feet wide and rose in a series of steps nearly 100 feet high. Walled courts, rooms and corridors covered the flat summit.
The Supe seemed to thrive in the valley for about 2,000 years. But around 3,600 years ago, an enormous earthquake — Moseley estimates its magnitude at 8 or higher — or series of earthquakes struck Caral and a nearby coastal settlement, Aspero, the archaeologist found. With two major plates scraping together not far offshore, the region remains one of the most seismically active in the world.
The earthquake collapsed walls and floors atop the Pirámide Mayor and caused part of it to crumble into a landslide of rocks, mud and construction materials. Smaller temples at Aspero were also heavily damaged, and there was also significant flooding there, an event recorded in thin layers of silt unearthed by the archaeologists.
But the flooding and temples' physical destruction was just the dramatic opening scene in what proved to be a much more devastating series of events, Moseley said.
The earthquake destabilized the barren mountain ranges surrounding the valley, sending massive amounts of debris crashing into the foothills. Subsequent El Niños brought huge rains, washing the debris into the ocean. There, a strong current flowing parallel to the shore re-deposited the sand and silt in the form of a large ridge known today as the Medio Mundo. The ridge sealed off the formerly rich coastal bays, which rapidly filled with sand.
Strong ever-present onshore winds resulted in "massive sand sheets that blew inland on the constant, strong, onshore breeze and swamped the irrigation systems and agricultural fields," the paper says. Not only that, but the windblown sand had a blasting effect that would have made daily life all but impossible, Moseley said.
The bottom line: What had for centuries been a productive, if arid, region became all but uninhabitable in the span of just a handful of generations. The Supe society withered and eventually collapsed, replaced only gradually later on — by societies that relied on the much more modern arts of pottery and weaving, Moseley said.
With much of the world's population centers built in environmentally vulnerable areas, the Supe's demise may hold a cautionary tale for modern times, the researchers said. El Niño events, in particular, may become more common as global climate change continues.
"These are processes that continue into the present," said Dan Sandweiss, the paper's lead author and an anthropology professor and graduate dean at the University of Maine.
Affirmed Moseley, "You would like to say that people learn from their mistakes, but that's not the case."
The other authors of the paper are David Keefer, a geologist and geoarchaeologist with the University of Maine's Climate Change Institute, and Charles Ortloff, a consulting engineer who has spent the past three decades working in the Andes.

Administration of enalapril to patients with hypertension of severity ranging from mild to severe results in a reduction of both supine and standing blood pressure usually with no orthostatic component. Symptomatic postural hypotension is therefore infrequent, although it might be anticipated in volume-depleted patients.
(See WARNINGS.)
In most patients studied, after oral administration of a single dose of enalapril, onset of antihypertensive activity was seen at one hour with peak reduction of blood pressure achieved by four to six hours.
At recommended doses, antihypertensive effects have been maintained for atleast 24 hours. In some patients the effects may diminish toward the end of the dosing interval (see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION).
In some patients achievement of optimal blood pressure reduction may require several weeks of therapy.
The antihypertensive effects of enalapril have continued during long term therapy. Abrupt withdrawal of enalapril has not been associated with a rapid increase in blood pressure.
In hemodynamic studies in patients with essential hypertension, blood pressure
reduction was accompanied by a reduction in peripheral arterial resistance with
an increase in cardiac output and little or no change in heart rate. Following administration of enalapril, there is an increase in renal blood flow; glomerular filtration rate is usually unchanged. The effects appear to be similar in patients with renovascular hypertension.
When given together with thiazide-type diuretics, the blood pressure lowering effects of enalapril are approximately additive.
In a clinical pharmacology study, indomethacin or sulindac was administered to hypertensive patients receiving enalapril. In this study there was no evidence of a blunting of the antihypertensive action of enalapril.

I shared a recipe for a Cacao Date Energy Bar. Also, an article about fructose.
Thanks for hosting!
I love the name 'jarfait' - what a great idea! They look so delicious, and I love how portable they are as well. Thank you for sharing them, and for hosting!ReplyDelete
Those jarfaits look delicious. This week I'm sharing a recipe for Celeriac and Potato Mash. Thanks for hosting.ReplyDelete
This week I shared a favorite condiment that is ridiculously easy to make: mayonnaise!ReplyDelete
I also shared a healthier treat that is loaded with protein: Sugar Free Flourless Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Thanks for hosting yet another week! Great giveaway!
Yum! I so wish I was enjoying a jarfait for breakfast right now!ReplyDelete
Thank you for the Meatless Monday linkup! I've been a vegetarian for 20 years and love finding new recipes.
Love your jarfait! What a great idea! Thanks for hosting again this week!ReplyDelete
Thanks for hosting!! Have a great week!ReplyDelete
Happy Monday,ReplyDelete
This week I am sharing two recipes: (1) a very sweet, decadent, vegan, cane-sugar free treat that will seriously knock your socks off! Coffee flavored, maple sweetened coconut whipped cream (or mousse). Everyone that has tried this claims it tastes like a mousse or pudding, but it can also be used as a whipped cream or icing for cake/cupcakes, and (2) a super easy, basic marinara sauce (creating no kitchen waste).
Have a great week.
Be Well,
Coffee Mousse: http://www.thetastyalternative.com/2012/02/mocha-up-your-whip-vegan-mocha-whipped.html
Sauce: http://www.thetastyalternative.com/2012/02/super-simple-super-tasty-marinara-sauce.html
They look excellent, I see why your boys love them in their lunches!! How do you keep them cold enough?ReplyDelete
I didn't want to mess up your giveaway post, since I'm already a Full Circle member, but I was curious... What box size do you get from them? Do you add a lot to the box each week?ReplyDelete
Just curious. I've only been with Full Circle since January, so I'm curious about how other people use their Full Circle boxes. I noticed it seems you're using some things that I didn't see in my list, but we only get a Seed box right now (just 1 adult, 1 toddler at the moment)...
Coleen-We just send them with our boys, their lunch boxes are wool, so I suppose they stay cool? Their fruit and cheese are cold too. I've never had a complaint about it being warm and yogurt is already rotten anyway!! :DReplyDelete
Erin: I get the biggest box from Full Circle-we usually make it through a whole box in a week, with maybe one or two things left over. Usually Lettuce!

Urban foraging in London: Hunt for wild ingredients and eat them for lunch
11:39 23 May 2012
You might not think of London as the ideal place to find wild ingredients for lunch, but an upcoming event for foodies may change that perception.
Tomorrow (May 24), restaurant and bar The Crooked Well in Camberwell is hosting a morning of urban foraging followed by a gourmet lunch featuring the foraged food.
Hunter-gatherer Nick Weston, author of The Treehouse Diaries: How to Live Wild in The Woods, is helping out for the unusual culinary experience.
Attendees will collect and learn how to recognise edible items from the great, local outdoors including chickweed, wild garlic, yarrow, beech, sorrel and wild pine needles.
After a fun foraging morning, guests will enjoy a three-course lunch.
Each course will be paired with specially prepared cocktails using fruit infusions and syrups made with foraged ingredients such as lovage and thyme.
Tickets cost £55, which includes lunch. To book, call 020 7252 7798.
