Anna Kournikova
Aside from single-handedly making women's tennis popular again, Anna Kournikova is one of the most searched people on the internet thanks to her amazing looks. She proves that you don't need to be a star tennis player to be one of the most highly endorsed athletes, nor do you need killer tennis skills to have a deadly internet virus named after you.
AppealHas anyone ever looked better in a tennis outfit (we are so grateful for those short white skirts)? Not likely -- Anna Kournikova is sculpted like a goddess. The tennis court was her stage, where she simultaneously (and successfully) flirted with and stunned thousands of admirers. This Russian pinup had the power of filling up arenas when she was scheduled to play. How many women can be credited with the same feat?
Men's magazines like FHM always have included her among the hottest women, and she was named Sexiest Woman in the World in FHM's 100 Sexiest Girls poll in 2002. Her sex appeal has also managed to sell calendars, and the Sports Illustrated issue with Anna Kournikova on the cover was one of the highest-selling issues the magazine has ever published. So it looks like Anna Kournikova's sexiness is unanimous: it doesn't get much hotter than her.
SuccessTournaments that didn't include Anna Kournikova had 30% less attendance. Her matches always sold out and it's safe to say that fans weren't crowding the courts in order to watch Anna Kournikova pummel her opponent.
Her fame has less to do with her accomplishments and more to do with her sex appeal, attitude and antics. Still, we'll give her some credit as a tennis player. Her greatest feats in the game include winning the European Championships and Italian Open juniors at age 14, and becoming the youngest tennis player to win a Fed Cup match. By the end of 1995, Anna Kournikova was crowned ITF Junior World Champion. In 1996, Anna Kournikova went pro and the tennis world would never be the same. She reached the fourth round in that year's U.S. Open and the semifinals at 1997's Wimbledon.
After staying in the top 10 singles rankings for several years and managing to defeat four consecutive top 10 players in a single tournament, she won a Grand Slam doubles title with Martina Hingis at the 1999 Australian Open.
Ever since 2003's Australian Open, Anna Kournikova has been plagued with a back injury that forced her to pull out of that year's Wimbledon tournament. Unfortunately, Anna Kournikova has suffered injuries since 2000 -- but fortunately, she has still managed to remain in the spotlight, just where we like her.
Not only is she the most photographed woman in the sports world, she's also one of the richest, thanks to several million-dollar endorsements. In 2002, it was reported that Anna Kournikova made $10 million a year. Since a contract with Adidas depended on victories and high rankings, she didn't reach her market potential, but she is raking in $3 million with the athletic wear manufacturer. And she's laughing all the way to the bank with sponsors that include Omega watches, Berlei lingerie, Lycos, and sports equipment company Yonex.
In addition to ads, billboards and magazine covers, Anna Kournikova has also graced the tabloids, thanks to relationships with hockey players Pavel Bure and Sergei Fedorov (who she was rumored to have married), and her on-again, off-again romance with pop star Enrique Iglesias.
As for media appearances, Anna was seen everywhere, from 2001's Me, Myself & Irene and Enrique's "Escape" video in 2002, to a spread in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issues in 2004 and 2005. Not only does she remain one of the top searches on the internet, someone even named a widespread virus in her honor in 2001, which wreaked havoc on the web.
Anna Kournikova BiographyAnna Kournikova (née Anya Kournikova) was born on June 7, 1981, in Moscow, Russia, to Sergei and Alla. Her father, a lecturer at the sports university in Moscow and a part-time tennis coach, and mother, did not encourage Anna to play tennis for the fame, but rather for the health benefits of the sport.
anna's early tennis daysAnna Kournikova's talent was first discovered when she played at a weekly children's sports program at the age of 5, thanks to the racket she received from her parents for Christmas. She started to play and practice more often, in places such as Moscow's Soklniki Park and the prestigious Spartak Tennis Club, despite the fact that her family was far from wealthy.
While still in Moscow, Anna Kournikova's first tennis coach was Larissa Preobraschenskaja, from 1985 to 1989. The budding tennis player trained and practiced while studying at school. In 1992, 11-year-old Anna Kournikova moved to Florida with her mother to attend Nick Bollettieri's Tennis Academy in Bradenton. The tennis facilities made it easier for Anna Kournikova, who had to commute from the gym to the tennis court to school while in Moscow.
anna kournikova goes proBy the time she was 14, she had become the youngest player to win a Fed Cup match, and made sure people took notice of her when she won the European Championships and Italian Open juniors. When she turned pro in 1996, she stepped onto the scene as an ITF Junior World Champion.
Expectations were high and Anna Kournikova delivered: she reached the fourth round in her first Grand Slam tournament, the 1996 U.S. Open and the semifinals in her first Wimbledon appearance in 1997.
1998 was a big year for the blonde beauty: Anna Kournikova became the first Russian female to be seeded at the U.S. Open since 1976, reached the top 10 of the singles rankings, and upset Martina Hingis in the quarterfinals at the 1998 German Open, becoming the ninth-youngest player to defeat a No. 1 tennis player before turning 17.
The following year, Anna Kournikova won her first Grand Slam doubles title at the 1999 Australian Open, with partner Martina Hingis. She managed to reach the fourth round in singles at all three Grand Slams, two Grand Slam doubles finals and one Grand Slam mixed doubles final.
In 2000, Anna Kournikova and Martina Hingis continued to do damage on the courts, and ended the season with a career ranking of No. 8. She even defeated Lindsay Davenport and Nathalie Tauziat on the way to the fifth semifinal of that year in San Diego. She later moved down the rankings to No. 19 and beat Sandrine Testud before losing to Venus Williams. At the 2000 German Open in May, Anna Kournikova experienced the first in what would become a string of injuries.
anna kournikova dates enrique iglesiasShe continued to make appearances in high-profile tournaments and drawing in big crowds, but not as many titles or wins unfortunately. After 2003's Australian Open, she suffered a back injury that led to her withdrawal from that year's Wimbledon games.
In 2001, she had a bit part in the Jim Carrey comedy Me, Myself & Irene as a motel manager, and the following year, she starred opposite Enrique Iglesias in the pop singer's video for "Escape." FHM's Sexiest Woman in the World also made headlines thanks to her relationships with NHL players Pavel Bure and Sergei Fedorov (who she was allegedly married to), and her on-again, off-again romance with Enrique Iglesias.
anna kournikova makes millions with endorsementsAnna Kournikova also proved her earning power by being one of the richest women in sports, thanks to lucrative contracts with companies like Adidas, Yonex, Berlei (the famous sports bra), Omega (also the choice of Cindy Crawford and Pierce Brosnan), and Lycos (who once named Anna Kournikova the most popular athlete on the internet, moving Michael Jordan to the No. 2 spot).
By 2002, she was reportedly making $10 million a year, and she continues to be the most photographed woman in sports -- even though her ranking and stats are nothing to write Russia about.
anna kournikova is no. 99 in askmen.com's 2006 top 99Also stretching her modeling muscle, Anna Kournikova graced the cover of Sports Illustrated's June 2000 edition, and was featured in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Issue in 2004 and 2005. She also came in at No. 99 in AskMen.com's Top 99 Women of 2006.
In a feature for ELLE magazine's July 2005 issue, Anna Kournikova stated that if she were 100% fit, she would like to come back and compete again. However, in the meantime, we're just fine watching her strut her stuff in magazines and bra ads.

Outfielder Michael Bourn is out of the Indians' lineup today and the team has recalled Nyjer Morgan from Triple-A Columbus.
Morgan is playing center field and batting leadoff against the Chicago White Sox in place of Bourn, who left Saturday's game because of a tight left hamstring, an injury that has lingered for several months. Bourn had surgery on his hamstring in October, but re-injured it in spring training, forcing him to begin the season on the disabled list.
The Indians optioned left-hander Nick Hagadone to Columbus to make room on the 25-man roster.

You might have expected Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher to be upset that his team struggled to beat Boston College last weekend in Tallahassee, but he wasn't.
"I'm more encouraged coming out of this game than I was the Miami game. I'm more excited about our football team now than I was after we played Miami," he said.
Really? Hey, coach, didn't your young team rout the nationally ranked Hurricanes on the road 45-17, in contrast to its 24-19 turnover-marred win against a BC team that had lost its three previous games? Well, total points or even style points aren't his point.
"We learned to overcome adversity," Fisher said.
QB Christian Ponder threw three interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown, and lost a fumble. The defense allowed two long runs in the opening quarter. Even dazzling PR Greg Reid was a bit off.
"And we overcame all of those things," Fisher said. "They never flinched. They never lost their poise. They never lost their composure … and that makes me happy."
Really. After all, his defense forced the Eagles to settle for field goals in the red zone. The FSU kicking game was outstanding. And the offense kept the ball for the final 8 minutes, 4 seconds of the game to protect the lead.
"I understand we have to get better," Fisher said, adding that the team will use this bye week to work on the fundamentals. "But understanding how to play a game when you're not having your A game and still be able to win, there's something to that, and that's part of their maturity and growth, and my hat's off to our players for that."
Stork delivers: When coaches realized that star G David Spurlock suffered his second concussion of the season during last weekend's game against Boston College and had to replace him, redshirt freshman Bryan Stork delivered a "solid" performance, Fisher said.
"He made some good plays, made some good blocks," he said, adding that Stork was on the field when the Seminoles regained the lead with a fourth-quarter touchdown, then ran out the clock. "He did a very solid job."
Fisher said that Stork's time practicing with the first unit during August two-a-days certainly paid off (as it did earlier this season when fellow redshirt freshman linemen Henry Orelus and Garrett Faircloth were pressed into duty). With Spurlock out, Fisher said he's "very comfortable with Stork going in there."
Numbers game: The Seminoles' first six Division I-A opponents are a combined 18-20, a .474 winning percentage. But take out undefeated Oklahoma, and the remaining five are just 12-20 (.375 winning percentage). FSU's last five opponents — North Carolina State, North Carolina, Clemson, Maryland and Florida — are a combined 20-12 (.625 winning percentage).
"Obviously, all our goals are still there," Ponder said. "But like I said, there's a lot of football left and we haven't really achieved anything yet. We want to get to the ACC Championship Game. We want to win the state of Florida. We want to make it to a BCS game. Those are all attainable, but it's a long road to get there, so we're not looking too far ahead."
Did you know? Fisher joined a select fraternity of ACC coaches who have begun their careers as a head coach by starting 4-0 in league play. He joins Bobby Ross (Maryland, 1982), Fred Goldsmith (Duke, 1994), Ralph Friedgen (Maryland, 2001) and Jeff Jagodzinski (Boston College).
Cross country shout-out: The women's cross country team, which won last weekend's Pre-Nationals in Terre Haute, Ind., is No. 3 in the latest U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association poll. Meanwhile, the men, fresh off a third-place finish at Pre-Nationals, jumped from No. 15 to No. 8 in the poll. That matches the program's highest ranking.

A Legacy To Be Shared
Spotlight: Dr. Ida Johnson
By Joyce Godwin Grubbs
February 16, 2010 – Davenport,
Iowa (Cable Muse Network, LLC) – For years the people who know and love Dr. Ida Johnson have tried to convince her to
write a book and tell her story. Humble to the core, she wrote them off as "nice folks who loved her". She thought,
what could be so special about a single mom who survived domestic violence and raised her family "the best she could?"
It took a powerful wakeup call from a "neutral source" to teach her that being humble can be a stumbling block
to "a blessing to others".
Meadowlark Lemon is a man admired
throughout the world as an acclaimed American basketball player, a member of the original Harlem Globetrotters and inducted
in the Basketball Hall of Fame. When he received an invitation to speak at Dr. Ida's fundraiser to benefit her organization
'United Neighbors' in Davenport, Iowa, he researched the request. Dr. Ida was pleased her invitation on
behalf of the organization she founded, was accepted. She was surprised when Mr. Lemon spoke with her privately during his
visit and asked if she had ever considered writing a book about her life. Lemon said while researching her he found things
that should be shared. At 72 Dr. Ida Johnson still considers Meadowlark Lemon's suggestion of a memoir, "a living
legacy" to her life.
As a small child, Ida was part of civil rights marches accompanying her minister father.
He included his entire family in the marches and sit-ins of the era. Dr. Ida shared with Cable Muse that she remembers
being "called everything but a child of God" as her family was spat on and shoved. Her grandfather told stories
of accompanying his father into the south to steal slaves and bring them out to live free. Her beginnings with the 'white
world' were shaky at best.
Young churchwoman, Ida Johnson fell in love, married, and had a family. In an attempt to save her life from
domestic abuse, she ran, taking her children with her to the state of Iowa. Ida had to accept her new conditions of welfare
and live in a poor neighborhood while fighting to keep her family intact and fed; she made sure it was as short an experience
as possible. Ida began to bring neighborhood children in to her living room for games, and learning activities. From that
humble beginning more than thirty-five years ago, now Dr. Johnson has a formal non-profit, United Neighbors, which serves
hundreds of people a day.
United Neighbors provides after-school tutoring programs, summer programs, "Juneteenth" celebrations,
food and clothing programs and she is known as the Mother of the Central City. Her programs help access health benefits, rent,
and housing advocacy. The hardest and most emotional contribution has come in these last years as she finally began to speak
out on domestic violence and encourage young women to seek help and educate them on the facts that may save their lives.
Among the honors she has received is the Martin Luther King Award for Service, an honorary
Doctorate from St. Ambrose University, recognition at city, state and national levels from government and civic groups. She
has testified before legislative bodies nationally and is recognized as an authority of positive change in urban neighborhoods.
Most recently she was chosen as the 2009 Iowa African American Women's Leadership Conference as one of three Honorees
for outstanding contributions to the mentoring and leadership of African American women in Iowa.
Ida is courted by politicians on both sides of the aisle, and is considered an integral part of planning strategic
programs to benefit the minorities in her city and her state. She is a strong woman of faith and holds leadership in her church,
and as a role model for Christian women. Dr. Ida Johnson is truly a humble and vital woman.
In the early years, as she struggled to move her work from her home to a formal organization and permanent
building, she was often attacked and called a racist. She never backed down, and all the while enduring continuing hardships
and losses. She lost a son, and her youngest child had grown into adulthood with difficult to control seizures. At seventy-two,
Ida still cares for her grown daughter in her home, while maintaining a forty-hour workweek in her organization.
Black history, like all human history, is made up of many small events, individuals and those
who stand out not because they are famous, but because they are persistent in their beliefs, consistent in their efforts and
they prevail because they never quit. Dr. Ida is all of these things, and continues in the city of Davenport, Iowa to make
a change for the better, to close racial divides, and to champion those who seek the American Dream, which has no color.

NEW PORT RICHEY — Mitchell right-hander Garrett Kriston struggled with his command coming into Friday's home game against Pasco.
It appeared control issues would again plague the junior hurler against the Pirates after falling behind 3-0 in just one inning.
Kriston regained his composure though after a troublesome first inning and went on to pitch his best game of the season to date.
Having a potent offense to back him up didn't hurt either.
Mitchell collected 10 hits and, showing patience at the plate, walked eight times in a 13-3, mercy rule-shortened win over Pasco.
"When Garrett settles in, that means he's throwing in the strike zone and he's throwing first-pitch strikes," Mitchell coach Scot Wilcox said. "When he gets ahead of hitters, that's when he's successful. His last two outings, Garrett's been pounding the strike zone and getting ahead of the batters.
"Especially against a team like Pasco, you've got to get ahead."
Kriston (1-1) gave up an RBI single to Pasco's Cole Stancil and allowed two more runs on Derek Dious' base hit to centerfield in the first inning to put the Pirates (4-3) ahead 3-0.
Mitchell (8-2) responded immediately, scoring five runs in the bottom half of the inning. Kevin Cramer had the big hit, a two-RBI single that dropped just inside the rightfield foul line. Eddie Goscicki and Cobi Johnson also had run-scoring singles in the inning.
"We could have very well just laid down and died after that first inning, but recently we've been answering when other teams score," Wilcox said. "That's a good habit to get into."
Mitchell added to its lead in the third inning when Gavin Hunt belted a double that brought home two more runs and made the score 7-3.
"When you're up, you don't have to think as much," Kriston said. "You just go out and do your thing. My problem was I was trying too hard and thinking too much in my first couple of starts. Once I can relax, good things happen."
The Mustangs ended the game early by scoring six runs in the sixth inning. A Pasco error brought two runs across and increased Mitchell's advantage to 9-3. P.J. DeJesus singled home two more and Hunt concluded the game with a two-out, two-RBI single to centerfield. Hunt finished 2-for-4 with four RBIs to lead Mitchell's offensive onslaught. Johnson was 2-for-3 and Joe Koehler walked three times in four appearances.
Kriston, meanwhile, allowed just three more hits after the first inning and struck out nine batters total to quiet a potent Pasco lineup.
"Garrett made things a lot easier on our offense tonight," Wilcox said.

My wife grew up in Penang and we are returning for a visit (with her father). Many old friends want to visit them, and instead of hosting them at our hotel (E&O), we are looking to find a couple of places for dinners that could accommodate a medium to large group and qualify as good places for locals--since our "guests" will be locals.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated. The trip is a few weeks away. Thanks.

The SIFMA and the SIFMA Foundation announced recently a team of students from North Little Rock High School on placing fifth in the national 10th annual SIFMA Foundation Stock Market Game known as "Capitol Hill Challenge" . The team, as part of the Top 10 ranking teams, will be recognized at an Awards Reception in Washington, DC on June 19.
Students from North Little Rock High School-West Campus produced a portfolio value of $173,247.85 and a return of over 64 percent. Participating team members include: Christian Bryant, Darrion Rash'ad and Alishe'ah Sockwell. They were instructed by Michael Huels and represented Sen. John Boozman (R) during this year's Challenge.
This 14-week competition among teams of high school students organized by Congressional district and state is a special version of the Stock Market Game where the student teams invest a hypothetical $100,000 in listed stocks, bonds, and mutual funds while simultaneously learning the value of saving and investing as they work together to maximize the return of their portfolio.
The competition uses the curriculum-based Stock Market Game, a program of the SIFMA Foundation, to help students develop a better understanding of the global economy, strengthen their personal financial skills and improve their knowledge of math, economics and business.

How A Bill Becomes A Law … in The New Super Congress!
My legal education began when I was in the 9th grade. As an inquisitive young scholar at one of the state's finest public institutions of lower education (Frayser High School), I took Civics. The class was taught by Professor Renfro. Well, he was Coach Renfro, and take it from me, coaches are better teachers than professors. Since they know something about sports, they have common sense and can actually give you practical advice.
And believe me, Civics under Coach Renfro was a very practical course. Coach Renfro taught us how a bill becomes a law. Under his tutelage, my classmates and I also studied the Constitution (particularly the Bill of Rights), and we learned all about how our federal government works.
For example, we learned that there are three branches of the federal government: the American League, the National League, and the NFL.
That was a joke Coach Renfro made. He was a very funny guy. And then after making the joke, he quickly told us that in reality, of course, the three branches of the federal government are the Executive, the Judiciary, and Lobbyists. Well, okay, that last one was my joke. He told us, of course, that the three branches are the Executive, the Judiciary and the Legislative.
Coach Renfro is retired now. At this moment, he is probably reading the Constitution of the United States while watching a Braves game on TV.
But if Coach Renfro comes out of retirement, I'm afraid he's going to have to modify some of his lectures. You see, my fellow Americans, we no longer have three branches of the federal government. We have four: the Executive, the Judiciary, the Legislative, and … the Super Congress! You read that right, Thomas Jefferson-breath! The Super Congress.
The Super Congress was recently created by the current members of Congress to make sure they get re-elected next year.
It all started recently when the United States of America was about to go bankrupt. I'm not a bankruptcy lawyer, and I don't play one on TV. But given my limited knowledge of bankruptcy law, I would think that the United States is already bankrupt since we currently are in debt in the amount of 15 trillion dollars with apparently no plan whatsoever to pay it back.
But apparently every time the federal bills come due, the Secretary of the Treasury goes to the Bank of China and borrows more money. Despite the fact that the United States of America should have the credit rating of your basic deadbeat dad, China is more than happy to keep extending us credit.
Why? Simple. China will soon own Fort Knox, the New York Stock Exchange, the Federal Reserve Bank, the Statue of Liberty, the Grand Canyon, Disneyland, Disneyworld, Six Flags Over a Bankrupt Nation, Justin Timberlake, Wal-Mart, Facebook, Chick-fil-A, and any other valuable business entity the Chinese don't already own.
But just as our Treasury Secretary was about to walk into the Bank of China, take out a 15th mortgage on Yellowstone National Park, and walk out with a new Chinese toaster and a wheelbarrow full of Yuan, he was stopped by the new power brokers in our Nation's Capital. No, not the president of the United States, the speaker of the House, or the Senate majority leader. Believe it or not, the new power brokers in Washington are a group of freshman congressmen.
Once upon a time in America, the role of a freshman congressman was to keep his mouth shut, vote the party line, and patiently wait for decades to gain seniority. They were expected to behave like the mother of a groom at a wedding: smile, keep their mouths shut, and wear beige.
But these new "Tea Party" congressmen are an impertinent bunch, with no respect whatsoever for their elders. When the president of the United States and the speaker of the House agreed to send the Treasury secretary back to the Bank of China, the Tea Party animals balked. They said that even if Bank of China was going to extend us more credit, they wouldn't authorize it unless an agreement was reached to borrow less and spend less in the future.
For several days there was a fierce debate on Capitol Hill as to how we could cut back on all our borrowing and spending. The problem, however, was that the bills were still due, and unless we went back to the Bank of China and got some more Yuan, we wouldn't be able to pay these bills we already have. It's like the old joke my father used to tell me when I was a boy: "Our furniture goes back to Louis XV … if we don't pay him by the 14th!"
Winston Churchill once said, "The American people can always be counted on to do the right thing, but only after they have exhausted every other available option." True to form, just as America's furniture was about to go back to Louis XV, or more accurately to Chinese President Hu Jintao, Congress and the president came up with a bold new plan to authorize the Treasury Secretary to borrow more money. Instead of cutting specific government programs or raising taxes, they created a fourth branch of the federal government … the Super Congress!
Faster than a speeding lobbyist! More powerful than a pointy-headed federal bureaucrat! Able to leap the Washington Monument in a single bound! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Super Congress!
There are currently 100 members in the United States Senate and 435 members in the House of Representatives. By my UT math, that's 535 members of Congress.
But these 535 leaders (and I use that term loosely) have now agreed to defer decisions on federal spending to a Super Congress consisting of just 12 members. These 12 Super Congressmen will, at some point down the road, make the tough decisions that the other 523 members of Congress are not willing to make.
It's a great plan. 523 member of Congress will be able to run for re-election next year by telling the voters that they are for a balanced budget, against any tax increases, and against cuts in Social Security, Medicare, or any other entitlement programs. And if the federal debt keeps skyrocketing, taxes are increased, or social programs cut, it will not be the fault of your Congressman. Blame it on the Super Congress!

Lagos—The Lagos State Oluremi Tinubu over perceived unsatisfactory manner she is conducting legislative functions.
In a statement by its publicity secretary, Mr Taofik Gani, the party said if the Senate failed to reprimand the lawmaker, it would invoke section 69 of the 1999 Constitution, which talks about powers and processes to recall a Senator or member of the House of Representatives.
It said though the Senate had asked its committee on Ethics, Privileges and Public Petitions to investigate Tinubu, it threatened to recall the lawmaker.
The party said "First, we want to reassure Senator Remi Tinubu that indeed she has had her fill in the Senate and can never return to the Senate in 2015, at least not as a Lagos Senator. As a matter of fact, her completing this present term is hanging in the balance.
"Unless she is lucky to scale be cleared by the senate committee that would investigate her, we shall mobilise voters from her Senatorial District to commence the process of her recall as allowed under the Constitution."

Why in hell is there soy in Italian soft rolls?
Parents of sensitive-stomached babies everywhere would like to know.
Why in hell is there soy in Italian soft rolls?
Parents of sensitive-stomached babies everywhere would like to know.
Why in hell is there soy in Italian soft rolls?
Soy flour is extremely hygroscopic, so stuff baked with it goes stale slower than otherwise. Same as milk: it's basically a nutritive preservative.
For those of us who aren't soy-sensitive, it's all good. Otherwise ….
Because soy and corn are in everything.
my guess would be that "vegetable oil" (eg, soy) was used as the shortening agent
It's also used as cheap, inert "bulk". McDonalds hamburgers are mostly soy.
If it's soy lecithin, that's in all commericial breads (afaik).
Soy solids contain xenopcryptophytoestrogens daidzein, genistein, and glycitein. Ingestion by women gestating a male fetus and feeding such to the baby thereafter is emasculating: poor muscularity, small stature, small genitalia.
Compare P1 and F1 generations in Canadian Asian immigrants. When the same genome is fueled with high meat, high dairy, high calorie "junk" food it comes out six feet tall. Compare with traditional Asian diets deficient in protein, calcium, and calories. Phytic acid in rice chelates iron and zinc (anemia and immune dysfunction); wheat contains much less. Soy results in… well, name one male Asian porn star.
Studies. We need studies. Get that White paper out in a decade or two. Then, more studies!
I'm soy (and gluten, and dairy) intolerant; I have more or less given up on any prepared food at all, because soy is in blessed everything.
It's actually getting easier to find vitamins that I can use, though; the idea that there are soy intolerant people seems to be spreading.
(Soy is both useful and heavily subsidized; it'd be very strange if it wasn't in blessed everything.)
Mary Aileen, some of our local bakeries don't add soy to their breads, or at least all their breads. But it is very much the exception–last weekend in Mass. there weren't any local breads in the grocery store I was in, and the only sandwich-like thing I could find without soy were some really dreadful bagels.
I hope for your sake she out grows this. As Graydon said, soy is almost every prepared food out there. My sister had a friend in pre-school who couldn't have soy, snack foods were a nightmare. She (sis) spent one Easter morning looking at ingredient lists to find a candy she could give her friend. Peeps, btw, are soy free.

The joy of soy
The controversial history of the soybean – and the uncertain future of tofu
Paul Levy
Food studies is a subject so much in its infancy that it would be foolish to try to define it or in any way circumscribe it, because the topic, discipline or method you rule out today might be tomorrow's big thing. The inadequacy of our conventional conceptual framework for dealing with this unwieldy child is bathetically shown on the copyright page of The World of Soy, where the "Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data" lists the volume's subject matter as "1. Soyfoods. 2. Cookery (Soybeans). 3. Food habits". Thus do our categories of taxonomy reduce the current state of our knowledge about the world's fourth most important food, measured in terms of calories, and first among legumes. Measured in cash terms, soy (Glycine max) is in some ways the most important crop, and in terms of imports and exports, second only to wheat. The fact that this important book has contributions by seventeen authors reflects more than the circumstances of its origins in a couple of academic conferences; it also shows the vastness of the topic and the large number of disciplines required to make sense of it. Dealing with soy comprehensively requires the attentions of historians, nutritionists, sociologists, anthropologists, economists and specialists in agriculture, plant genetics – and cooks, for if we do not know how soy has been and can be used as human food, and why people would wish to eat it, we lack any fundamental knowledge of it.
Though it was domesticated more than 3,000 years ago, as the editors say in their introduction, "hardly any other food plant is as modern as the soybean". They might have added, "or as controversial"….

Eureka: Discovering Your Inner Scientist will be published in December 2014 by Basic Books. "This fun, diverse, and accessible look at how science works will convert even the biggest science phobe." --Publishers Weekly (starred review) "In writing that is welcoming but not overly bouncy, persuasive in a careful way but also enticing, Orzel reveals the "process of looking at the world, figuring out how things work, testing that knowledge, and sharing it with others."...With an easy hand, Orzel ties together card games with communicating in the laboratory; playing sports and learning how to test and refine; the details of some hard science—Rutherford's gold foil, Cavendish's lamps and magnets—and entertaining stories that disclose the process that leads from observation to colorful narrative." --Kirkus Reviews
How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog is published by Basic Books. ""Unlike quantum physics, which remains bizarre even to experts, much of relativity makes sense. Thus, Einstein's special relativity merely states that the laws of physics and the speed of light are identical for all observers in smooth motion. This sounds trivial but leads to weird if delightfully comprehensible phenomena, provided someone like Orzel delivers a clear explanation of why." --Kirkus Reviews "Bravo to both man and dog." The New York Times.
How to Teach Physics to Your Dog is published by Scribner. "It's hard to imagine a better way for the mathematically and scientifically challenged, in particular, to grasp basic quantum physics." -- Booklist "Chad Orzel's How to Teach Physics to Your Dog is an absolutely delightful book on many axes: first, its subject matter, quantum physics, is arguably the most mind-bending scientific subject we have; second, the device of the book -- a quantum physicist, Orzel, explains quantum physics to Emmy, his cheeky German shepherd -- is a hoot, and has the singular advantage of making the mind-bending a little less traumatic when the going gets tough (quantum physics has a certain irreducible complexity that precludes an easy understanding of its implications); finally, third, it is extremely well-written, combining a scientist's rigor and accuracy with a natural raconteur's storytelling skill." -- BoingBoing

SARTRE, Contributing Writer
Activist Post
In a secular world, the operative "Golden Rule" is "He Who Has the Gold Makes the Rules". The condition of the global financial banking system is untenable. The aggregate amount of debt worldwide is anyone's guess. The introduction of derivatives and counter claims pushes the chain of obligations into the unknown. All that is left is for central banks to create mountains of uninterrupted counterfeit money to roll over and delay the inevitable. The IMF chart of World Currency Reserve is a skyrocket line to oblivion. It does not reflect a healthy stockpile of treasure, but certainly manifests a new debt machine running to infinity. The Bullion Vault explains this reality in the following manner.
Back in 1966 Alan Greenspan wrote in The Objectivist, Gold and Economic Freedom.
Since the gold standard was abandoned worldwide, the banksters have run wild.
So who owns all the gold? Part of the answer is that the official sector holds much less, than one might think.
Wealth Daily concurs with the Dollar Daze list of largest holders of bullion – United States, Germany, International Monetary Fund, Italy, France, SPDR Gold Shares, China, Switzerland, Japan and Netherland, rank as the top ten.
So how much gold is there above ground?
Total value in U.S. Dollars = 7 Trillion, 581 Billion, 608 Million, 876 Thousand and 688 Hundred Dollars of all gold worldwide.
"The Federal Reserve is arguably the most powerful institution in the world as it maintains the sole legal right to counterfeit the world's reserve currency without limit and without oversight. This allows them to bail out the too big to fail banks, manipulate currencies, support foreign central banks and corporations and allow near endless government spending above and beyond what the government can pay for through direct taxation. A true, enforceable gold standard would put an immediate end to all of that".
Now examine the seamy history of IMF gold sales. The next video, The IMF sold Gold plated tungsten bars to India, illustrates why the international banking system needs to be eliminated. The Gold-plated tungsten bars scandal is about to erupt. Imagine the chaos among banking circles when governments become aware of a bait and switch delivery fraud.
"The IMF is about as likely to help individual European countries subvert the euro via gold as it is to encourage debtor countries not to honor banking their debts. The IMF is a creature of the power elite, and it will always remain so, in our opinion. But none of this militates against the idea of the IMF backing its OWN currency (SDRs) with gold".
.table_d2e130 { border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); width: 100%; }.table_d2e130 td { border: 1px solid rgb(0, 0, 0); }
|Since 1999, the bulk of sales from central banks have been regulated by the Central Bank Gold Agreement/CBGAs which have stabilised sales from 15 of the world's biggest holders of gold.
Significantly, gold sales from official sector sources have been diminishing in recent years. Net central bank sales amounted to just 41 tonnes in 2009.
Only individual ownership of gold, directly in your own possession can preserve any store of value when the next Draconian level of the Totalitarian Collectivism system is imposed after the financial meltdown hits in earnest.
"When individuals acquire gold in mass, politicians will be forced to address the public debt, and the true extent of the unconscionable confiscatory taxation condition that we all suffer. Limited government can be achieved, but must be based upon a currency that has gold convertibility. There lies the answer, keep enough gold to insist that real money will replace phony Fed notes. Nothing less will restore a store of value or a nation of free citizens".
The risk banning gold ownership and government confiscation is always real for individuals. However, the prospects of rounding up gold bullion as contraband from banking institutions or the chosen and privileged financial elite, would require a coup d'état. The establishment will sacrifice hundreds of millions of expendable serfs, before it relinquishes the reins of superiority over the humble taxpayer.
An underground barter economy will thrive, while it is condemned as a black market. Any attempt to substitute new money with a gold component, must allow for unlimited convertibility for it to be a legitimate monetary system. As long as the same globalists retain political rule, you can bank on the scheme proposed to be another sophisticated attempt to rob and enslave you, all over again.
Douglas Herman offers up four possible scenarios, the best of which requires an old currency recall, and replacement with new species money. The other theories feed into the control matrix of the globalists to implement even greater despotic methods of servitude. Intentional civil unrest provides opportunistic excuses to herd the cattle into the pens of slaughter. Just owning private gold will not protect citizens adequately, until the gold hordes of the elite are stripped from their control.
The decisive test remains the same, who has the bullion makes the rules, with one caveat. If you are so foolish to accept the next new-fangled money hoax from the same banksters who brought you their planned global collapse, you deserve to be a slave. Business wealth creators need to lead the charge to abolish the phony debt created money monopoly. Financial Armageddon lays at the feet of humanity. Gold alone will not save you, but it will allow the means for rebuilding a society free of banksters' tyranny, only, if you have the courage to remove their ilk from all seats of power and government.

Lil Wayne Shows Up Late at Revolution Live and Leaves Early
Weezy sitting on stage, giving fans the exact opposite of what they want.
Photo by Alex Markow
Let us spare you the exciting events that took place from 10:30 p.m. until after 3 a.m. Lil Wayne wasn't there. He was supposed to be there, but all the crowd got was an empty stage and DJs playing top 40 rap hits whilst letting fans know Lil Wayne is only five minutes away.
Perhaps they meant hours instead of minutes, because around 3:10 a.m. Lil Wayne finally arrived and hit the stage. It's about to go down! Right?
Not quite. Wayne — accompanied by an entourage of Mack Maine, Ace Hood, Nino Brown, a couple of women, and some nondescript fellows — finally made his way to the stage, which looked more like a VIP section. There were three couches and tables stacked with bottles of Ciroc, D'usee, and more. Wayne, who must have been tired from riding his tortoise to the show, took a seat on one of those couches before doing anything and proceeded to take a smoke break while the DJ played some some Drake, Tupac, and Jeezy.
After 20 minutes of general hanging out for fans to watch, Wayne finally eased his way center stage, but not before having security escort an unruly fan outside.
And by "escort" we mean knock the fuck out.
The fan who was punched by Weezy's security.

You can see what happened in the Instagram video below. It's unclear why exactly Wayne targeted this particular concert-goer. Some reports say it was because he was holding up an unkind message on his iPhone, while other reports say it was because he threw a beer bottle at the stage.
Here's a video of the man — before he was punched — holding up his iPhone with a message that ends in "Where is Wayne?"
Whatever it was he did that ended up pissing Wayne off, it's hard to imagine it justified a haymaker.
But, after the assault, Wayne finally stepped up to the mic. "She live in Fort Lauderdale and I'm closer to South Beach," Wayne recited a cappella from his song "Fingers Hurting." The crowd caught their second wind and started rapping along with excitement. They even put two fingers in the air at Wayne's request to show their admiration for Sorry for the Wait 2. This was an improvement from the previous fingers being thrown in the air.
Fans weren't shy about letting Lil Wayne know how they felt.

With the warm-up verse out of the way, the much-anticipated "Coco" beat began, and Wayne rapped his all-out Birdman assault remix with the support of his fans.

After laying down his contribution on Nick Minaj's "Only," Wayne took some time to get to know his adoring fans better. "I got a question, if your pussy stank, be quiet." Wayne paused while the confused crowd wondered whether that was actually a question. "I said if your pussy stank, be quiet," Wayne repeated. And with pride, the women in attendance yelled, because, of course, who would want to be quiet?
With female hygiene out of the way, Wayne moved on to his verse off Minaj's latest song, "Truffle Butter," then thanked the audience for their time and proceeded to leave.
Right back at ya, Weezy.
Photo by Alex Markow
That was it. Five hours late and only two and a half songs. Fans filed out of Revolution Live understandably upset and confused. A ticket to Weezy's show that night cost anywhere from $80 to $150 (not including hospital bills), and we'd be willing to bet that most of the crowd would have liked their money back.

This is not the first time Lil Wayne has pulled this shit. He's kind of famous for it. And he just did the same exact thing at Club Skye in Tampa. Weezy's career has certainly seen its ups and downs, and his fans have stuck with him through it all.
But incidents like these may threaten to change that. How can Wayne expect any loyalty out of his fans when he treats them like shit, making them wait for hours and hours in hot, crowded clubs, before finally waltzing in and half-assing it? Who else could get away with that?
We need more of this Wayne.
Photo by Alex Markow
Maybe that's a testament to Wayne's talent — that people will still buy tickets in spite of the bullshit. But rest assured, it won't last long.

The play that led to the game winning goal in overtime Friday night was somewhat symbolic of how the year has gone for Marc-Andre Bergeron. Healthy for the first time two years, Bergeron won a race across ice to gain possession of the puck and set the play in motion that eventually led to the game winning goal. It was a race that Bergeron started a step behind, but still managed to win.
"I took a shot, it was kind of a funny shot," Bergeron said. "The puck was no placed properly and missed my shot a little bit, but it hit a stick and it broke that guys stick. He was the guy that ended up going into the corner to get the puck, so I knew he couldn't do much with it because he didn't have a stick, so I decided to forecheck and when he moved it the other way around, I saw that defenseman kind of looked tired. I decided to give it a try and I got it, and from there I gave it to Marty and he did rest."
Bergeron has turned heads this year, not only because of his strong offensive play, but also because of his play on the defensive end. Outside of the occasional bad turnover, Bergeron has played with a lot more confidence on the defensive end. He has made smarter plays with the puck, showing poise and confidence and generally avoiding the area's that have gotten him into trouble in the past. The downside to any offensive defenseman is the occasional turnover that plagues them at the worst possible time, something that has not eluded Bergeron in the early going, but overall his game is much improved through the first month of the year.
In his first 13 games this year, Bergeron leads the NHL in assists with 13, and leads the Lightning in points with 15. He is also averaging just over 19 minutes a game.
So what has been the difference?
"The biggest difference is last year I started playing in February," Bergeron said. "The past two years I have had back surgery and knee surgery, those are pretty serious injuries. This summer I had the chance to work out and do everything like everyone else, it felt right and it felt great. I made sure to show up to camp in good condition both physically and mentally. So far its been paying off."
For Lightning coach Guy Boucher, Bergeron coming up with big plays in the clutch is not surprise. It is something he has dealt with as an opposing coach before in junior.
"Bergeron is a pressure guy," Boucher said. "We know that. I've known that for a long time. I hated this guy in junior. You knew it, you smelled it coming, and he would give it to you. You saw that last year in the playoffs and we see it again this year. Its not something new, its just something he has to manage. He plays like all the other players, you don't want to be impatient with him. When its there, make it happen. When its not there, no need to force the play, its going to come to you."
So how exactly does one become a pressure player in the NHL night in and night out?
"Its character, its winners," Bergeron said. "We need that on the team, and we have that here. We are really proud to have players like that in this locker room. It's the only way to go if you want to win games. Teams are so tight now, the difference between the best team in the league and the worst team in the league is maybe 15 points by the end of the year. Its not a big margin. Every night is a battle now."

News site The Register today launched its aptly named ISP, VentureCapitalist.net.
VCISP will provide broadband internet subscriptions for a middle-of-the-road £25.99 a month, but with a cheap installation and connection fee of just £65. Over a year this works out to around £380.
The site claims to be the most technically advanced ISP in the UK (although we're sure its competitors would dispute this) with additions such as 'marketplace', where users can add details of their businesses to an online directory. A metatag creator also lets companies 'mark' their sites, allowing them to achieve higher rankings on search engines.
Affinity Internet operates the site, which is also responsible for WH Smith's and the Royal Bank of Scotland's websites.
The project has received £2m in funding from private investors.

Cindy Sherman at MOMA
11 West 53 Street, New York 10019
February 26–June 11, 2012
Cindy Sherman (American, b. 1954) is widely recognized as one of the most important and influential contemporary artists of the last 40 years. Throughout her career, Sherman has presented a sustained, eloquent, and provocative exploration of the construction of contemporary identity and the nature of representation, drawn from the unlimited supply of images from movies, TV, magazines, the Internet, and art history. This retrospective survey traces the artist's career from the mid 1970s to the present, bringing together more than 170 key photographs from a variety of the artist's acclaimed series, for which she created myriad constructed characters and tableaux. The first comprehensive museum survey of Sherman's career in the United States since 1997, the exhibition will draw widely from public and private collections, including MoMA's collection.
For more information visit the MOMA website.

OAKLAND — Juvenile criminal records of 40 men accused of being gang members will not be admitted as evidence in the ongoing court battle over the proposed Fruitvale district gang injunction, a judge said Monday.
The decision pleased attorneys for the defense, who have also hit some road bumps in the preliminary hearing to decide whether the city will forbid the defendants to wear certain colors, gather in public or be outdoors after 10 p.m., with jail time at stake for those who violate the order.
The defense attorneys saw one of their witnesses dismissed outright last week as having no knowledge or experience related to the case evidence, and Judge Robert Freedman has had several frustrated exchanges with the defense lawyers in recent weeks. But he appeared to agree Monday that juveniles have some extra protections.
"The court does not intend to receive into evidence information about events that occurred when any defendant was a minor," Freedman said. However, he declined to dismiss from the case an attorney working for the city who defense attorneys say accessed some records inappropriately.
Some access to such records is common practice in gang injunction hearings, though there is little case law to guide courts in deciding the issue, deputy city attorney Rocio Fierro told Freedman. The city may end up trying to call as witnesses police officers who saw the defendants commit crimes as juveniles.
"These kinds of cases require that we show a pattern of behavior," Fierro said. "What might have happened in the past is relevant."
Meanwhile, activists fighting the proposed injunction launched a week of action events Monday, hoping to build public pressure on the city's elected officials to take action against the suit.
Proponents say it would help stop gangs' terrorizing their neighborhoods and push gang members to change their lives, while opponents have argued that police are abusive and already wield too much power, and that efforts to stem violence should focus on funding school, re-entry and youth programs.
"A lot of our local youths have been working on this a long time, and I think it's going to be really empowering for them to have a week of action that's not on the court calendar, and not on the city government's timeline," said Isaac Ontiveros, a lead organizer in the opposition effort. Also planned this week are a community bike ride, a vigil for the victims of violence and a massive protest at City Hall.
Jackie Garcia, 16, is a junior at MetWest High School. She spoke at a news conference outside Fremont High School on Monday morning, saying she fears the injunction could lead to racial profiling and cost money that could be spent on other programs.
"We have after-school programs being cut, and not as many electives as we used to," Garcia said. She described a close friend who got involved with a gang as he got older, becoming involved with illegal drugs and failing at school. He ended up in a semester-long camp program called The Woolman Semester, where he is making up lost credits and getting his life together, Garcia said.
Candice Valenzuela, an English teacher at Fremont, also spoke, saying the school's budget is so bad students often can't even get basic learning tools.
"(The budget) sends the message to youth that they are not important, not valuable," she said. "That message informs their behavior," becoming a root cause of violence among local youth, she added.
Oakland City Attorney John Russo has said the injunction is not enough by itself to solve the city's violence problem, calling it "a piece of the puzzle" that also includes social services, education and after school programs.
He's also said he understands concerns about gang injunctions and racial profiling, and so tailored his own efforts to require that any individual subject to the injunction will have to be named as a defendant and proven in court to be a gang member and a public nuisance.
The issue is continuing to move through court, but the City Council is done taking action on the issue for the time being. A public safety committee meeting ended last week with Nancy Nadel (Downtown-West Oakland) becoming the first council member to openly oppose the injunction, but no actions were decided on and no other plans involving the issue are currently scheduled to come to the City Council.
Contact Sean Maher at 510-208-6430.
Tuesday: Bike rides around the proposed injunction safety zone begin at East Side Arts, 2277 International Blvd. at 3:30 p.m. and at Bushrod Park, Shattuck Avenue and 59th Street, at 5:30 p.m.
Wednesday: Workshops in Oakland schools culminate in a concert at East Side Arts at 7 p.m.
Thursday: The Stop All Violence Vigil at Lake Merritt el Embarcadero (between Grand and Lakeshore avenues) begins at 5:30 p.m.
Friday: Hundreds are expected at a rally outside City Hall, 1 Frank Ogawa Plaza, at 4 p.m.

15 Acts You Have to See at the Inaugural KAABOO Del Mar Festival

The first installment of the "musix mix-perience" in San Diego kicks off this week and we've got 15 artists you'll definitely want to make time to catch.
Ben Harper's tour rolled into Los Angeles last weekend, and he brought a special guest with him: Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines, who joined the band to lend her vocals to a cover of Pink Floyd's 'Mother.'
Well, it looks like Hollywood Life's report from a couple of weeks ago was on the money -- TMZ is now reporting that Laura Dern has filed papers in Los Angeles County court reactivating her divorce from Ben Harper.
Halifax, Canada will see a variety of music artists come their way when the Summersonic music festival returns to the city in September 2012 after a four year absence. Montreal indie-pop darlings Stars, singer-songwriter (and recently single) Ben Harper, Chicago punk rockers Rise Against and more will be on hand for the three-day event.
After 12 years as a couple, five years of marriage, one separation and a reconciliation, it sounds like Ben Harper and Laura Dern are calling it quits for good.
We have some good news for Bay Area Ben Harper fans: He's headed to Redwood City, Calif. for a performance at the Fox Theatre tomorrow night (May 23). Now for the bad news: Tickets for the show, which is being held as part of an epic triple-fundraiser day for President Obama, start at $250.

Behavioral: Enhanced information about endocrine therapy
The majority of breast cancer patients discontinues today's standard adjuvant treatment (endocrine therapy) due to side effects and reduced quality of life. Thereby, most side effects are unspecific, suggesting a role of psychological factors as patients´ expectations (nocebo effects). Moreover, patients are not informed sufficiently about their treatment.
Using a longitudinal design, the nature and onset of adverse side effects and their association to treatment related expectations are investigated. Postoperative patients with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer are assessed before the start of adjuvant treatment. All patients receive standardized, additional information about endocrine therapy. Expectations about side effects, knowledge and satisfaction with the enhanced information are assessed before and after informing patients. Side effects, quality of life and adherence are measured three months, two and five years after start of medication intake.
It will be analyzed if patients' response expectations predict side effects and quality of life during medication intake to provide insights into pathways of clinical nocebo effects. Further, this study examines the effects of a structured treatment information on patients' satisfaction with information, response expectations, knowledge and adherence. The study findings promise significant advances in the clinical nocebo research with strong implications for clinical and research practice.

After a close first round, Ortiz nearly ends the second with a deep guillotine choke, but the horn sounds to save Evans. Ortiz fights most of the way with a nasty cut along his right eye, but it doesn't seem to effect his vision. Ortiz deducted a point after the second round for holding the fence – that could be costly. Evans lets his hands go more in the third round, but Ortiz shoots and covers. Evans scored a slam late, but it's probably not enough to pull out the fight.
All three judges score the fight a unanimous draw (28-28 x3).
The point deduction after the second round cost Ortiz the fight.

A change in policy in how to pay caregivers for the state Department of Welfare's Office of Long-Term Living last year resulted in not only a backlog of delayed and missing payments, but also criminal abuse of the system.
The Allegheny County district attorney's office this week obtained arrest warrants for a number of people involved in a complicated scheme involving six ghost employees and the theft of tens of thousands of dollars from the Welfare Department.
According to a criminal complaint, the scheme involved an employee of Christian Financial Management, a company that contracted with DPW to issue payments to caregivers in the Office of Long-Term Living.
LaShawna Wilson, 31, of Swissvale, who worked in Christian's accounting department, is accused of creating six ghost employees, including her aunt, uncle, mother and her mother's deceased husband. In one instance, according to the complaint, Ms. Wilson substituted her mother's information for that of an existing, legitimate care worker.
Dozens of paychecks were issued to the ghost employees, totaling nearly $85,000, wrote Jackelyn Weibel, an investigator for the district attorney's office.
Ms. Wilson is charged with theft by deception, access device fraud and conspiracy.
The fraud was able to occur, according to the complaint, because of a change in how the state processed caregiver payments.
In early 2012, the state reduced the number of companies handling billing, and asked that those interested in doing the work put in a bid package. Because of the change in procedure, a number of companies dropped out, and the caregivers then had to rely on only Christian Financial Management to receive payments. The company was unable to keep up with the demands for payments from care workers and payments were not handled in a timely manner, the complaint said.
After a public outcry and pressure from the governor, as well as the filing of a lawsuit, attorney Robert Bernstein was appointed receiver by the Court of Common Pleas.
Mr. Bernstein asked an accountant and fraud examiner to review the records, and they discovered a number of improper payments made to ghost workers. Investigators found that because of the rush for payments, Christian Financial was not validating hours worked by caregivers.
Mr. Bernstein, whose receivership ended in August, said he found no fraud on the part of Corey and India Christian, who owned the company.
When DPW assigned more caregivers to Christian Financial for payment, he continued, it was too much for the company to absorb, Mr. Bernstein continued.
Prior to 2011 there had been minimal oversight of the 36 providers of financial management services. In January of this year, DPW switched to one provider, which now serves approximately 20,000 direct care workers.
In the meantime, he said, all of the caregivers have received their pay, and the payroll system has been contracted out to a Boston company.
Defendants charged in both cases include: Donald Lawrence, 31, of Plum; Lisa Lambert Lawrence, 37, of Plum; and Paula Moore, 50, of Arnold. Mr. Lawrence and Ms. Lambert Lawrence are Ms. Wilson's uncle and aunt. Ms. Moore is her mother.
According to an affidavit of probable cause in the check cashing case, the Lawrences were printing fraudulent checks, and then would pay other people a small sum to cash them at Giant Eagle or at area banks. According to the affidavit, the couple had an insider who worked at Giant Eagle in Penn Hills who would cash the checks without any identification.
Last week, investigators served a search warrant at the Lawrence home where they found numerous laptop computers and printers, a program to print checks, blank check stock, preprinted blank checks and hundreds of pieces of identifying information, including Social Security cards, drivers' licenses and birth certificates.
The check cashing scheme involves 13 defendants, 26 checks and nearly $56,000.

Really Beneficial
Posted by iHerb Customer on May 01, 2017 | Verified Purchase
Every time I feel as if I'm getting a cold, ear ache or sore throat I use Oreganol. As long as I take it at the first sign of a problem, it has prevented an actual cold or infection from developing. Because I can tolerate a couple of drops under my tongue, I use it that way. I will do this 2 -3 times per day until the symptoms are gone ( 1 or 2 days). I know others that dilute it in water.

[The recent Ruby security vulnerabilities], and others like it in Python/Perl/etc are interesting for a lot of reasons but mostly because too many people point to using these languages as a safe alternative to C/C++...
Daniel Peck, Vulnerabilities in Interpereted Languages
Right, because there's no difference in requiring everyone to get their pointers and allocations and deallocations and initializations right as you do in C and C++ and requiring only the people writing the compiler or interpreter and possibly any extensions to get these right, as you do in Ruby, Perl, PHP, and Python. A well-designed language extension system will even allow you to reuse the language's memory allocation/deallocation system, further minimzing your risk.
Apparently this part of security is not one where minimizing your exposure is valuable.
(Then again, you may want to reconsider taking security advice from someone whose command of technical details misses the fact that, of the languages listed, only Ruby is "interpereted" [sic] -- and interpret/compile is generally an implementation detail, not a language requirement.)

TAMPA — A man was hospitalized for burn injuries after his kitchen caught fire Thursday night.
It happened in a downstairs unit of University Oakwood Apartments, 1260 E 113th Ave., when a pan of grease on the stove caught fire around 9:45 p.m., according to Tampa Fire Rescue.
Firefighters put out the flames in around 15 minutes, and the fire was confined to one apartment, they said.
Chauncey Mebane, 22, was treated for burn injuries after, fire officials said, he picked up the pan of grease while it was on fire. The grease splashed onto his body while he tried to take it outside.
They took him to Tampa General Hospital with serious, but not life-threatening, injuries. He was in good condition Friday morning.
Mebane was in the apartment with his girlfriend, investigators said. They said Mebane's injuries could have been avoided had he picked up the burning pan with a kitchen mitt or smothered the fire with a pan lid.
Damages to his apartment were about $6,000, investigators said.
About 30 firefighters from several stations arrived to fight the flames.

The difference between successful business people, entrepreneurs, athletes, authors — anyone, and those who are not successful is not talent. The difference is the guts to move forward, to take intelligent risks, to try, to work harder than anyone else to become a true professional.
It is a fact that every industry has its share of immensely successful people, its share of abject failures, and a whole lot of people in between. The individual success of the people in most industries can be plotted on a classic bell curve, where the great percentages fall directly in the middle. Exactly how, then, does someone move from the majority in the middle of the pack to that select group who have reached the top of their profession?
Professional athletes will tell you that the difference between first place and second place or success and "failure" is incredibly small. At the Daytona 500, the premier NASCAR stock car race, between 1995 and 2004, the average margin of victory was only 0.241 seconds! The difference between first place money and second place money — a whopping $452,116. That means the additional prize money for finishing first was an astounding 68 percent. In the Winter Olympics in 2002, the difference between a gold medal and NO medal in the men's downhill skiing event was 0.65 seconds. Small improvements can make a huge difference.
So, how can you become a successful professional in your job and your life? It starts with small improvements. You simply need to focus on the five fundamental P's.
1. Purpose: Seeking, and recognizing, opportunities to serve others is your starting point. Start by figuring out who you work for. It is your company? No. Is it your manager? No. Is it your boss? No. It's your spouse, your family, your customer, or your co-workers. Human beings are social animals and have a fundamental need to contribute to something greater than themselves. Your job, whatever it is, is about providing a product or service to other people for their benefit. Your joy and success will come when you know that you have helped someone else out. Sit down and write out your goals. Are they about you or are they the results of serving others?
2. Preparation: Be the best you can be! Read everything you can. Learn from others. Learn something new every day. Listen, you might learn something. Keep an open mind. The time to prepare is before your opportunity comes. Once that opportunity has presented itself, it's too late to prepare.
3. People: Surround yourself with good people. Your performance and your reputation are, most often, determined by the people with whom you have aligned your life. Your bosses, co-workers, subordinates, mentors, coaches, teammates, and friends all have a huge impact on your ultimate success. Choose those people wisely and be fiercely loyal to them. They will be the foundation to your ultimate success. Show them you care about them by asking them about them! Then shut up and listen to the answers. Care about them and they will care about you.
4. Priorities: Focus on the fundamentals and the results will take care of themselves. Start each day with a simple written list of what you plan to accomplish - today. Make time to do the things that contribute to your purpose and your goals. Remember that if you don't have time to do it right, what makes you think that you have time to do it over? Learn to adapt to your changing environment. Maintain a controlled sense of urgency. Being prompt, being reliable and contributing to your team will go a long way to ensure your success.
5. Persistence: Maintain a positive mental attitude. Your attitude is a choice you make each and every day. Choose to be positive. Don't get bogged down in negative thinking. The past is just that — passed. The future is always a question mark. What, specifically, can you do TODAY to continue toward your Purpose?
How many people do you know that wake up in the morning and ask themselves, "how can I fail today?" Probably none. People fail because they haven't focused on their Purpose. Or they haven't prepared themselves to take advantage of the opportunities. Or they have made poor choices in the People with whom they associate. They may have lost sight of their Priorities. Or, they've given up and failed to be Persistent.
So, "professional," in any endeavor, is spelled with 5 p's — Purpose, Preparation, People, Priorities, and Persistence. Focus on those 5 p's and you will find the success you seek.
