Lose Weight and Get Ripped with Virtual Exercise BuddiesBy Abby Cohen
Beachbody's online workout community, WOWY SuperGym®, is all about people inspiring each other to reach their fitness goals. But does it work? You bet your Brazil Butt Lift® it does. We see folks band together to get fitter every day here at Beachbody®—which is why we called it "WOWY," for Work Out With You. The motivation boost you experience when you work out with a partner even has a name: the Köhler Effect (after smartypants psychologist Otto Köhler, who first reported the phenomenon in 1926). But a recent development might have surprised even Dr. Köhler.
Current research shows that you can get even more motivated by a virtual partner than by a live, in-person one. (That's "virtual" as in "online," as opposed to "almost," like that kid with the weird laugh you came this close to dating.)
Which type of virtual online workout partner would inspire the best results from you? It depends on what type of exerciser you are. Read on to find the description that fits you, along with your perfect match.
- Let's say you're gifted at making excuses. You would totally exercise but you don't have a spare nanosecond. And you told your spouse you'd polish the doorknobs. Plus your pituitary gland hurts.
Excuse-maker extraordinaire, your ideal partner is a coworker, or another person committed to showing up for every workout—preferably someone whose success will suffer if you don't. Just ask Melissa Higgins, Beachbody Director of Development.
"If you and I are working out together, I don't want to let you down by not being there," explains Melissa. Before she joined a 90-day RevAbs® test group of Beachbody employees, she says, "I had never exercised before. Never. NEVER!" With a child and demanding full-time job, she had sound reasons to forego workouts—yet participating in the group overrode them. Not only did Melissa stick with it for the whole 90 days, she lost 22 pounds and 8.5 inches off her waist. Why? Her theory: "It's about accountability."
Indeed, studies have identified indispensability, the belief that one's contribution makes a crucial difference, as a key reason people make more effort in a group. So if you want to boost your motivation even further, start a workout group in WOWY, invite like-minded people to join, and create a concrete goal. Now let's look at the other end of the spectrum.
- You are an unstoppable machine. You live to work out and you work out to live. You have a mercilessly healthy diet, Bring It!® every second of every set, and never miss a workout, even if you're bleeding.
If this describes you, finding motivation isn't your biggest problem (though learning to relax might be). However, if you simply want more motivation, choose a buddy with the strength of Superman and the stamina of the Energizer Bunny®. Research shows that a competitive sort like you will stop at nothing to outperform your partner. Come to think of it, maybe your biggest problem is finding a buddy who's more badass than you. That's when an online partner comes in extra handy—and may be even better than a live one.
A recent study from Michigan State University revealed that test subjects who worked out with more capable virtual partners performed exercises 24 percent longer than those who worked out alone. Great news, huh? Now instead of hoping you'll find someone who challenges you in your circle of friends, you can plumb the mammoth WOWY database—which drastically improves your odds of finding a perfect fit. I see a significant boost in motivation in your future. But what if you're a more easygoing, social type?
- You get by with a little help from your friends. (Or a lot.). There are so many ways to get fit, you're amazed. In fact, you're overwhelmed. You simply want to look and feel good. And sure, fast results would beat the pants off slow ones. But can't someone just show you how to get there?
Yes! Choose the exercise program that most appeals to you, and pair up with a buddy who shares your interests and is slightly more capable than you. It's the narrow margin that's been found to induce the biggest spike in motivation from the "weaker" partner. Apparently, we humans are inspired by social comparison.
Whether your buddy is real or virtual is up to you. But online partners do have advantages: If you like, you can exercise at 4:00 in the morning. In your pajamas. With zero concern that you can't keep up—because you set your own pace. Log in to WOWY and see who else is working out. You'll enjoy all this flexibility, plus the benefits of being accountable to somebody. Dude, you'll be leaner and stronger in no time!
- You are a carbon-based life form. No matter who you are and how you exercise, a workout partner can significantly enhance your motivation and results. As Melissa Higgins says, "When you see someone else's success, you know you can do it yourself." Damn straight, which is why the lion's share of Success Stories we see at Beachbody start with each story's main character seeing an infomercial with fantastic real-world results.
So go ahead: Make the most thrilling part of your own Success Story happen faster. Get more out of every workout by leaning on others. They won't mind.
After all, they're doing the same thing to you.

Cookbook Review: Good FishBy Denis Faye
For the discerning eater, no animal-based protein poses more of a challenge than fish. The fatty acids make it healthy. The mercury can make it toxic. Well-managed fisheries make it environmentally benevolent. Overfishing and fish farming make it an environmental nightmare. And most important of all, how the heck do you cook it?
Becky Selengut's new cookbook Good Fish sorts all this out—primarily the cooking part—with delicious recipes and beautiful photographs that'll have you diggin' the ocean's bounty all summer long.
Although primarily a cookbook, Good Fish opens with a great, easy-to-understand explanation of the ins and outs of choosing sustainable fish, including essays on fresh versus frozen, wild versus farmed, and the fact that from an environmental perspective you're better off limiting your seafood intake and varying what you eat instead of eating the same fish over and over. Of course, that kind of advice raises the question, "If I'm supposed to eat a variety of fish, exactly which ones should I eat?" Fortunately, that's what the rest of the book is all about.
The recipes vary from simple to complex and feature the following sustainable Pacific Ocean seafood: clams, mussels, oysters, Dungeness crab, shrimp, scallops, wild salmon, Pacific halibut, black cod, rainbow trout, albacore tuna, arctic char, sardines, squid, and sustainable caviar. Each section includes all the necessary information about that particular fish, including seasonality, how to pick it, and sustainable substitutes.
Even if you only like one or two of these fish, this book is worth it. You'll have 10 or so sure-fire meals to look forward to. Then you'll have plenty of other recipes to experiment with as you expand your tastes.
Another great feature of the book is the wine pairing suggested for each recipe. Not sure what to sip with your Hajimi's Steamed Banana Leaf Salmon? Try a Pinot gris or a Beaujolais. There are also URLs sprinkled throughout the book for useful online how-to videos like "How to shuck an oyster" and "How to fillet a fish."
I really only have two criticisms of Good Fish. First, while the recipes are uniformly delicious, many of them are less than healthy, like the Mussels with Guinness Cream. That being said, they largely use whole, real foods. With a little moderation and common sense, you should be able to enjoy most of the food presented here
My second criticism is that, as the title indicates, this book is filled entirely with seafood from the Pacific Ocean or thereabouts. I suppose this is only fair, considering that buying locally is an important part of sustainability and the author lives in Seattle. But fret not, Midwesterners, there are several pages explaining how to choose and properly thaw frozen fish. But if you're jonesin' for recipes featuring sustainable fish from America's East Coast, like haddock or mackerel, I guess you'll need to wait for the sequel, Good Fish: Atlantic Edition.

Recipe: Tilapia with Mango Salsa
Tilapia typically ranks at the top among sustainable and affordable fish, although some gourmands complain about what they call its bland flavor. This recipe features a zesty mango salsa that'll zip up any type of fish. (Mangos are currently in peak season!)
- 4 6-oz. tilapia fillets
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 2 tsp. olive oil
Mango Salsa:
- 1 large mango, peeled, pitted, and diced
- 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup diced green or red onion
- 1 tsp. minced fresh cilantro
- 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 tsp. rice wine vinegar
Combine salsa ingredients in a medium-sized bowl and mix well. Cover and chill in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. (Salsa will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.)
Preheat oven to 375° F. Lightly brush both sides of each tilapia fillet with olive oil. Place in nonstick baking dish and bake for 15 minutes, or until fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Place 1/2 cup of warm rice on each plate. Top each with a cooked fillet, and top each fillet with 1/4 of the salsa. Makes 4 servings.
Preparation Time: 30 minutes (plus 30 minutes or more to chill salsa)

Pokémon Food
Pokémon Food is a term used to describe the special kinds of food made exclusively for Pokémon. It was introduced in the anime as a possible explanation for the main source of a Pokémon's diet (before the introduction of Berries). Pokémon Food is produced in the form of dry food pellets, similar to that of dry pet food. It is made made from a variety of ingredients, including Berries, to meet a Pokémon's dietary requirements. Pokémon Breeders often specialize in making food that is both healthy and tasty for their Pokémon.
Despite being made for Pokémon, some individuals, namely Pokémon Trainers and Pokémon Breeders, are able to consume Pokémon Food in order to evaluate the taste and texture with no ill effects. Brock of Pewter City has a renowned talent of cooking & creating various Pokémon Food blends for his Pokémon. Pokémon Foods also come in the form of various baked creations such as PokéBlocks and Poffins. These items can be made by the Trainer through the use of mixing Berries in order to increase the varying conditions of their Pokémon.

SANDAG is continuing to fight an uphill battle against the flooding in beachside homes on Imperial Beach's Seacoast Drive.
A project to replenish the beach with 450,000 cubic yards of new sand backfired last October when ocean water started reshaping the shore into a steep berm over which the water would flow during high tide before getting trapped in pools along the back side of the beach. The pools have been seeping into the foundations of nearby buildings, causing flooding and perhaps structural damage.
Residents showed up at a January council meeting to protest the original flat design of the sand project, saying that their problem would be solved if SANDAG would simply reshape the sand so that it slopes away from homes and back out to sea.
An engineer for the regional government agency said at the time that the proposal would never work, because Mother Nature would whip the sand back into a berm before workers were even finished re-sloping.
But condominium resident John Ireland, who is part of a small band of residents leading the charge to end the flooding, says SANDAG has re-sloped the beach in some spots. Although it was too late to stop the flooding in early February, it might prevent further flooding when the tide rises again at the end of the month.
Ireland, who has kept a diary of the activities on the beach since the initial sand construction in October, emailed U-T San Diego on Feb. 8, the day a bulldozer started to slope the beach.
"He had a two-headed strategy," Ireland wrote. "He pushed sand from the beach up the hill to the lakes and filled the lakes with sand. … This should give a better shot that incoming water will return to the sea, not lake."
It didn't work right away, but the next day Ireland wrote again.
"My very optimistic mother always maintained 'it is always darkest before dawn,' " he said. "I had a dark morning. This afternoon the bulldozer came back and stole sand from all over the place and gave it to us. He then expanded the test area. I believe it is a good gamble to believe that we have won and that the bulldozer will continue to convert the beach to slope."
He noted that not all his neighbors were so lucky. Work crews did not do anything south of his condo, he said.
SANDAG staff said the agency is not re-sloping the entire beach, but that crews have been digging trenches after high-tide cycles to let the water back out to sea, and filling in low spots to minimize the ponding.
"Under a memorandum of understanding with SANDAG, the city of Imperial Beach has been doing some grading work on the beach to alleviate the ponding in a few locations," SANDAG wrote in an email. "The work that is being done is limited to a few locations."
Ireland said that even if the grading works permanently, the various homeowners associations are considering banding together to hire a hydrologist and find out what kind of damage may have been done by the flooding. The report could be useful in filing insurance claims, he pointed out.

Best news for randy singles: The state Supreme Court rules January 14 that a law criminalizing sex between unmarried people, "fornication," is unconstitutional.
Most closely-watched case: Albemarle County schools deputy director of transportation Warren Lee Carter Jr., 43, is charged with trespassing after a report that he was seen looking in a window at the Trophy Chase Apartments on Peyton Drive. Carter has been suspended with pay and is set to appear in court February 15.

The jury recommends four and a half years in prison.
Last act in the fugitive financier story: Richard Hirschfeld, 57, former Albemarle resident and Muhammad Ali pal, kills himself in a Miami jail January 11, the same day he was told arrangements had been made to move him to Norfolk to stand trial on federal charges. Hirschfeld was on the lam for nearly nine years and was captured hiding in the closet of a Fort Lauderdale mansion October 1.

Best remembrance of Charlotte Humphris: The Albemarle Board of Supervisors, upon which she served as its first female chair, renames Whitewood Park in her honor.
Best remembrance of Breece D'J Pancake: Author J.T. LeRoy cites fellow West Virginian Pancake, who attended UVA's writing program and committed suicide at age 26, as the writer who most influenced his work in the January 16 New York Times Book Review.
Best high school literary magazine: Albemarle High's Stampede to Elysian Fields wins first-place ranking by the American Scholastic Press Association.
Best Grisham review from an arch-curmudgeon: "I had a very good time with The Broker, found [protagonist] Backman believable and charming and interesting, got a few laughs and felt my pulse thumping as the climax approached," writes the Washington Post's Jonathan Yardley. On the other hand, in this otherwise complimentary piece, Yardley urges Grisham to slow his book-a-year pace. "My entirely unsolicited opinion is that Grisham has been writing at Mach 10 for too long."

A US worker, dismissed over allegations that he spent his time at work listening to his iPod and making personal calls instead of building business, is being sued by his former employer for lost profits.
US Card Partner Services is seeking $90,000 in pay in addition to $210,000 in lost income from Drew Scopelliti, a former sales director at the card affinity firm prior to his dismissal last July.
According to the lawsuit, Scopelliti faked the qualifications on his CV in order to get hired, and then spent his time at work making personal calls and generally goofing about.
Paul Regan, associate professor at Widener University School of Law, told Delaware Online the lawsuit represents an aggressive - but plausible - application of contract law. He did warn, however, that irrespective of the validity of its claims, US Card Partner Services was likely to spend as much if not more on legal fees than it managed to claw back from Scopelliti.
Scopelliti, 44, was hired in December 2004 and put in charge of marketing affinity cards to schools. US Card Partner Services fired Scopelliti eight months later over allegations he failed to do his job properly prior to launching its aggressive lawsuit. There's no suggestion that any more serious wrongdoing was involved.
A lawyer acting on behalf of Scopelliti said his client intended to vigorously defend himself against his former employer's legal assault. ®

Press Release:
Headline's Emma Tait has acquired the world rights in Poirot and Me by David Suchet, writing with Geoffrey Wansell.
Filming is about to commence on the very last episodes of the international television phenomenon Agatha Christie's Poirot. These final five episodes will mean that all the Poirot stories have been filmed with Suchet in the starring role. In Poirot and Me David Suchet will reflect, for the first time, on the 24 years that he has played the role and the fondness he has formed for the eccentric Belgian detective, and his fans worldwide.
The book was bought at auction from Michael Alcock at Johnson and Alcock. Headline plans to publish in autumn 2013.
Emma Tait: 'I am so excited to be publishing this book, which offers a unique opportunity in television publishing. Rather than an outsider's overview, it is the story of an iconic role told by the actor himself and it is fantastic to be working so closely with David and Geoffrey. I believe it will be a very special book and a wonderful way for David to bid farewell to his old friend Hercule Poirot.'
David Suchet and Geoffrey Wansell: 'We are thrilled to be given this chance by Headline to bring his portrayal of Hercule Poirot to life for his millions of fans around the world. It's a wonderful – and rare – opportunity for a character actor to be able to explain his life and craft and exactly how he brought such a famous character to television audiences in more than eighty countries.'
Extracts from book:
"He was as real to me as he had been to her, a great detective, a remarkable man, if, perhaps, just now and then, a little irritating. He had inhabited my life every bit as much as he must have done hers as she wrote thirty-three novels, more than fifty short stories, and a play about him – making Poirot the most famous fictional detective in the world alongside Sherlock Holmes.But how had it come to this? How had I come to inhabit his morning jacket and pin-striped trousers, his black patent leather shoes and his elegantly brushed grey Homburg hat for so many years? What brought us together? Was there something in me that found a particular echo in this short, tubby man in his sixties given to pince-nez and saying 'chut' instead of 'ssh'?Looking back now, these many years later, I suspect in my heart there was.""In the end Brian and I came up with a moustache that we both thought exactly conveyed what Dame Agatha had in mind – a small, neat, carefully waxed one that curled upwards at each end, and where the tip of each of end of the moustache would be level with the tip of my nose. For us it was the best-looking waxed moustache in England, and exactly what Hercule Poirot must have."

Jay Heaps, New England Revolution head coach
On what set up their goal:
You work on set pieces. We got one good play, but the rest of it wasn't good enough.
On whether the first half was good enough:
No. We dribbled too much. There's got to be better flow. We as a staff have to be better and the players have to be better. We all have to be better.
On losing a central defender:
It's what we prepare for. It's not like it doesn't happen in games. We have players that want opportunities and they got it. They have to make sure that they deliver. Unfortunately, no one tonight really stepped up. We as a staff didn't step up because we didn't make the right subs.
On what he told them at halftime:
We wanted to play better than the first half. We really felt that in the first half we were second to balls. Some of the things we're good at, we just weren't doing. It's disappointing because we want to keep the ball when we can. We knew it was going to be tough, but we didn't play well at all.
Andrew Farrell, New England Revolution defender
On the play in the first half:
We came out and did well. We got a great goal early on and we defended well. The second half, we knew they were a good team and good at home. There were a few mistakes that we made that they capitalized on it. It's as simple as that. We didn't possess the ball well. We had the lead after halftime and they just came out on fire. They made us defend for 45 minutes. The team's going to score. You can't defend for 45 minutes, especially against a team this good. Even though it's a tough result and we're not happy, it's the first time that we've lost back-to-back games.
On how quickly they're going to move on from this one:
Very fast. Obviously, you've got to get that feeling of loss and then move on. Columbus is a great team at home. Some guys played a full 90 [minutes] so we've got to get those fresh legs going. I think it's a must win at this point.
On how they prepared for Chris Klute:
He's a good player and he's got a good cross from the left side. I think Ryan Guy did a good job at trying to battle him. I think Ryan held his own. [Chris] didn't have as much opportunity to go forward as he usually does.
Ryan Guy, New England Revolution midfielder
On the game overall:
Obviously it's a frustrating result tonight, particularly after having the first half lead and getting off to a descent start. Sometimes in games that are going against you, you get an unfortunate touch or an unfortunate foul. Juan [Toja] certainly put a good ball in. That was fantastic. From there, it was just a very difficult game for us. Things really never clicked and I think it will show from things like passing percentages and stats like that, that we just didn't get ahold of the game tonight. It was disjointed between the defense and the attack. There was just something missing. Saying that, I think we put up a good fight. We're very disappointed to give up the two goals that we did, but then again, games like this do occur and it's how you come back from them. We're looking forward to Columbus right away.
On the disjointed play:
I think it's a mix of variables. The altitude is something a lot of us were contending with. A lot of us are coming in after not playing for quite a while, for 90 minutes. That's how I felt a little bit. Unfortunately I have to take responsibility for that. I was feeling a little bit tired at the end of the game there. At the end of the day, we're all professionals. We have to be prepared. I think a lot of us were. It was just 1-2% of a lack of concentration at times between making a pass and giving the ball away.
Oscar Pareja, Colorado Rapids Head Coach
On the performance in the second half:
I saw the team who wanted to bounce back in the game. I saw the team that had that urgency, when we make a throw in, when we had a corner, when we do a restart. You have to tell the fans that you are urgent to win at home, and I didn't see it in the first half. In the second half we saw it, and that momentum is a collective effort, with the fans, with the players, and the game rewards you. I saw that chemistry between the fans and the players in the second half due to that.
On starting the second half with Atiba Harris subbed in for Hendry Thomas:
Making the substitution, taking out one of our best players, it was a tactical move [to] give us more mobility. We were going to sacrifice the way we get the ball back in the middle, then we would have another presence up front with Atiba. I thought it worked well.
On Dillon Powers' game:
Dillon has been very consistent, and that's one of the things that we are very proud [of] within the club, to have a young guy who has such a personality, and bringing that every game. So he'll keep growing. He knows that he has a long way to go, but he's mature enough to have that consistency now, game after game, and we're very pleased with the way he's playing.
On the rookies, with the Rapids' Deshorn Brown and Dillon Powers and New England's Andrew Farrell:
I think our boys are leading that one. I have to be honest. I think they're doing a tremendous job. I respect what Farrell is doing there, and I don't want to make any stupid comparisons at this point, but if you ask me, I have to say the truth. I think Deshorn and Powers need to be highlighted and they need to be rewarded, because sometimes we don't get that. The young boys are doing a great job in the club.
On Nick LaBrocca:
I thought he was excellent. He's the player that we were looking at at the beginning of the season, and we know that Nick can do that, because he has experience and has a lot of talent. Today was one of those games where Nick stepped up and gave us what we needed, so I'm very happy for him.
Nick LaBrocca, Colorado Rapids midfielder
On coming back to get the win:
It's the fun of the game. As soon as you start worrying about chances that you don't get, you start hesitating and then you're never going to score one of those so that's a good thing about this team is even looking at some of the games where we could have won, it doesn't faze us, we keep going and we keep attacking the goal and we're going to be alright.
On his goal:
Yeah, I saw [Goncalves] coming, he was closing down my right foot so I figured I'd try and hit it over the left, and luckily there was enough space in there to just let one rip.
On whether getting more players forward in the second half changed the game:
A little extra urgency too, and the speed of play I think picked up a little bit, and especially the second half with altitude, those gaps open up and we expose them, which helped us.
On shots hitting defenders:
No I haven't thought about it, just keep shooting and sometimes they're going to hit defenders, sometimes they're not, so today was a good day for that.
On finding space in the middle of the field:
It was just the pockets. Our build up was very good and as the game went on we kept picking up the pace and picking up the pace and we were able to get more and more gaps. Everybody was able to get in and everybody was involved and everybody was dangerous. It's one of our advantages. It's tough for teams coming here and the more can pick up the pace then the harder it is for visiting teams.
Dillon Powers, Colorado Rapids midfielder
On the own goal:
I just took a corner so I was out on that right side and the ball was over on the left for a while so I hung back out of the sight of the defender. It finally got switched back over and I just tried to get the ball in the box and take on my man and get something hard across the box and sometimes that happens.
On playing more of a holding midfielder in the second half:
I've played that position a lot in college, that's where I mainly played. The forward role is something that I've been developing more over this season but I'm very comfortable in the middle.
On media suggesting he could win Rookie of the Year:
It would be a nice accolade, I think more importantly is getting this team in the playoffs and that's my number one goal.
On playing against fellow SuperDraft pick Andrew Farrell:
He went to Louisville, he was in the Big East. We played every year and have a pretty good relationship. So it was kind of fun, especially because I started on his side so we were kind of joking around during the game. It was fun.
On how he's feeling midway through the season:
I think after those six games that we had on the road in 22 days, it was definitely a certain level of fatigue there. But this last weekend we had off, which was very nice and I kind of got my legs back under me so now we can make a good push in the playoffs.
On facing Seattle on Saturday:
We definitely need a result there against a conference opponent. It's very tight right now, that playoff race. We want to get in there and we don't want to look back. I think we're just going to have to go in there with a strong mentality and maybe ride the [momentum from the] last four games that we've had.
Marvell Wynne, Colorado Rapids defender
On playing his 100th game with the Rapids:
It feels pretty good. This team's been around [since the beginning of the league] so being here and being able to get 100 games is something that, again only 15 players have done and it feels really good. Especially good knowing that we got a win from it. It felt good. It is a milestone and a presentation of some sorts. It's an award. It's a compliment in terms of: this organization wants me here and in these 100 games I've come to like this organization as well and hope that we can keep things going.
On the comeback win at home and its meaning for the team:
It's a great little push knowing that we can come out and play a decent game for both halves and get a victory. And coming from behind always speaks a lot for a team's integrity and how we don't want to stop at any point. We felt good out there playing so now we've got to take it to a very difficult place and hopefully get a result in Seattle.
On his comfort level in his role:
I feel very comfortable, especially today. I felt like I had a lot of room. I felt like I was able to do a decent job in the offensive side of things as well a defensive. So at any point where I can get forward and help the team out in both directions, I'm all for it.
On the Revolution playing defensively after scoring their first goal:
Once they get back, all that does is leave more space for the defenders and midfielders to get up and attack them more. They're going to turtle, try to get everybody in the box but we're going to keep hammering at that shell until we get a break and we got two of them tonight.
On the change in play style in the second half:
We realized when we came back into the locker room [for halftime] that along the outsides we were getting a lot of time and space and crosses so we go outside and we tried to get the balls into the box. You saw right away, Atiba [Harris] got that cross in, boom, and instantly we kept going and got our breaks.

Sculptural, shapely and unexpected, the artist's three creations for Swatch are small-scale works of Pop Art. Hofkunst set the classic watch format aside and instead fashioned organic, eye-tricking, sculptural watches that look as if they are made out of food.
Gu(h)rke (PWZ100) is a cool green, right down to the dial, inked to look like a moist, seeded slice of cucumber. Bonju(h)r (PWZ101) is a strip of bacon, cleverly curly and striped, fairly crisping at the wrist. Verdu(h)ra (PWZ102) is an abundant, glistening red, the dial cushioned inside a plump-looking bell pepper. Each piece's title is a bit of multi-lingual wordplay, and the work is pure visual play.

I've recently found that when I print from LR3 to my Epson 7800, one side of my image is being cropped by the printer or by LR. The image prints withabout 1/2" (on a 17 x 22") cropped off of the right of a landscape format print, resulting in an off-center image on the paper. The margins are set to equal, both in LR and in Page Setup (Mac).Has anyone encountered and solved this issue?Thanks
If I am printing a landscape format image, w/ horiz. format set in Page Setup, I have right and left margins set at .13 in LR. I'll pull my cell size in from there, to establish an image width in the print of 21.5", centered. When the image prints, however, the image width is coming out at 21" (or so), with the image cropped off the at right side, and an extra margin on the paper where the crop occurred, so the image is not centered as it should be.

The Gaslight Anthem are far from the new band on the block – their 2008 record The '59 Sound was one of the most heavily praised rock records in recent memory. But it was their fourth album, last year's Handwritten, that saw the Jersey boys reach further abroad than ever before.
Being their major label debut, The Gaslight Anthem used Handwritten as both an introduction to new listeners and a platform for existing fans to witness their evolution. The success of Handwritten has seemingly placed the world at the quartet's feet, with the biggest challenge being to choose where next they'll conquer.
Soon enough the American rock outfit will return to Australia for a national tour to help expand their ever-increasing fan base. Picking up the phone ahead of the tour was The Gaslight Anthem's lead guitarist Alex Rosamilia and we talked fandom, solos and short films.

In honor of National Meatball Day and Festa Della Donna (International Women's Day) a select few lucky individuals gathered at Aventine Tratorria in Hollywood, California recently to commemorate the occasion.
In partnership with Villa Italia, wine maker Lorenzo Scarpone, showcased his magnificent wines. La Maschera Prosecco as well as red and white wines Racemo Frascati Superiore- L'Olivella, Scarpone Vintage 2012 and the Scarpone Tribute Reserve 2008.
These were perfect pairings to go alongside the decadent feast that was upon us. Chef Adolfo Veronese prepared his signature Aventino Meatball, which was stuffed with mozzarella, basil pesto, golden raisins, and served on soft polenta; as well as the Meatball Pizza, topped with house made meatballs, sautéed red onion, fresh oregano, and mozzarella. In addition guests also had the chance to order signature and specialty creations off of Aventine's signature menu.
Everyone loves a good meatball! Regardless of its consistency, size, breaded or not a meatball is a simple food that if prepared correctly is very dense and delicious. Aventine Trattoria nailed it and not only prepared a feast that included an array to perfecting the meatball but continued to prepare a spread that, to me, emasculated other meatballs in existence.
Regardless of the occasion, Aventine Trattoria never fails. From one palette to yours- Cheers and Hope Everyone Had A Happy Meatball Day!

Kluber, bats struggle in first of two vs. A's
Offense manages five hits while new No. 2 starter allows five runs
OAKLAND -- The Indians are more than familiar with what A's left-hander Scott Kazmir is capable of doing out on a mound. Kazmir made it clear on Wednesday that familiarity does not always portend success for an offense.
In Game 1 of the first split doubleheader in Coliseum history, Cleveland's lineup was confounded by Kazmir in a 6-1 loss to Oakland. In taking down his former team, Kazmir looked a lot like the pitcher who helped the Tribe reach the postseason last year.
"You've got to give him credit, man. He pitched a great game," Indians first baseman Nick Swisher said. "He gave us a little taste of our own medicine, of what we were getting all last year."
While Kazmir issued a clinic in efficiency, Indians right-hander Corey Kluber labored to find the strike zone in his debut as Cleveland's new No. 2 starter. Originally tabbed as the starter for Tuesday, which was postponed due to rain, Kluber allowed five runs and was chased from the contest before the end of the fourth inning.
Oakland's patient lineup forced Kluber to toil through 27 pitches in the first inning, during which Yoenis Cespedes delivered the first blow with a run-scoring single to right field. The pinpoint fastball command that has been Kluber's signature went missing in his abbreviated performance.
"That was very un-Kluber like," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "He'll bounce back. He just threw a lot of pitches, had to work for everything he got, had a lot of deep counts and fell behind a lot of hitters because of that. And, when he made a mistake, it came in the zone and they hit it."
The A's added a pair of runs in the second, which included Oakland manager Bob Melvin challenging a ruling on a play at the plate.
With one out, runners on the corners and the A's holding a 2-0 advantage, Josh Donaldson chopped a pitch to Indians third baseman Carlos Santana. Derek Norris attempted to score from third on the play, but Santana charged in, gloved the ball and made a quick relay to catcher Yan Gomes, who appeared to tag the runner in time for the out.
Francona was not thrilled at the timing of the replay and the delay that followed.
"We're all still trying to get a feel for it," Francona said. "I wasn't sure that the timing was [great]. I was under the impression that, once the pitcher's on the rubber, and the hitter's in the box, you can't [challenge]. Then again, those are things we're feeling our way through, so are the umpires."
The initial call by home-plate umpire Mark Wegner was upheld after the review, which was clocked at four minutes and 45 seconds. During that time, Kluber stood idly on the mound before working through a handful of warmup tosses after the review's conclusion. The next batter, Jed Lowrie, came through with an RBI single to push the Indians behind, 3-0.
Kluber did not blame the delay for any command woes that followed.
"By that point in the game, I think it was apparent that I was searching a little bit out there," Kluber said. "I don't think that really had anything to do with it. That being said, I thought it took way too long. If that's how long the replay is going to take, there's probably going to be some issues."
In the third inning, Kluber surrendered a first-pitch, two-run home run to A's third baseman Alberto Callaspo. By the time Kluber was lifted from the ballgame, the Indians starter had worked through 77 pitches and had fallen behind in the count to 13 of the 22 hitters he faced. Kluber gave up eight hits and ended with more walks (three) than strikeouts (two) in his first outing of the season.
It was a different story for Kazmir, who gave Cleveland an incredible comeback tale last season.
Out of affiliated baseball in 2012, Kazmir rejuvenated his career after signing a Minor League deal with the Tribe and winning a job in the rotation. The lefty won 10 games, struck out 162 and was a key part of Cleveland's 21-win September that sealed a spot in the playoffs. It was a showing that helped Kazmir earn a two-year, $22 million contract with the A's this past winter.
In Kazmir's first outing of the season, those looked like dollars well spent.
Over 7 1/3 innings, Kazmir limited the Indians to three hits and finished with five strikeouts and zero walks. He faced the minimum in five of his innings and did not allow a runner to advance past second base. Kazmir exited in the eighth inning to a standing ovation after Melvin turned to the bullpen following a one-out double by Mike Aviles.
"For him to go out and to just make every pitch the way that he did," Swisher said, "I'm excited for him, but I'm not excited for him. He's one of our good buddies over here, but I think for us, we might've been a little too hyped up going in there against him today.
"I couldn't help but smile my first time up there. He gave me a little nod."
Kazmir found it ironic that he had to face his former team right out of the gates.
"Maybe if I had waited a month or so for this to happen, it wouldn't feel so weird," Kazmir said. "But after the first pitch, I hear everyone in their dugout just chirping at me, talking trash and stuff. That was different, but I got a couple outs and was able to quiet them down a little bit."

from the continuing-the-series deptAs regular readers know, I've been working on a series of posts discussing the concept of economics when there's a lack of scarcity. My last post on the importance of understanding "zero" in economics (and the fact that many of the problems people have in grasping the subject being due to a misunderstanding of zero) kicked off a really interesting discussion, that has me diverging from my planned third post in the series. Instead, I'd like to focus on one of the key objections people keep coming up with: the idea that this whole concept of the economics of abundance makes no sense because it means the creators of content make no money and they have a right to make money for their creative output.
It makes for a compelling emotional argument, but it is wrong on two major points. First, is the idea that it means creators of content can't make any money. In fact, nothing can be further from the truth. What this series is leading up to is an explanation of how the opportunity for making money is even larger when you understand the economics, and don't rely on directly selling the non-scarce good. However, for now we'll leave that aside and focus on the second point: that there's a right to make money. That's completely false. Economics is not a moral issue. It doesn't care about anyone's "right" to make money from their creative output... and neither should you. The idea that anyone automatically has a right to make money from their creative output is wrong. Everyone has the right to try to make money out of their creative output, but if the market isn't there, then there's no money to be made.
For example, I could draw a picture on a scrap of paper and try to sell it as fine art -- but no one would buy it, because my artistic drawing ability is pretty weak. That is, the market would properly value my drawing at something close to zero because there would be no demand for it. It has nothing to do with my right to make money. Similarly, in a situation where there's a lack of scarcity, the market would properly value something at close to (or equal to) zero because there's infinite supply. It has nothing to do with the moral issue of the creators right to profit from the creative output, and everything to do with the market at hand.
Perhaps part of where this gets confusing is that we have the current situation to fall back on: where content creators have had a good run selling their content. People have trouble then understanding why we would suggest that they should learn how to take the same content they've been selling for money and give it away free. The issue here is that the comparison is wrong. It's not about a choice between being able to sell the content for money or giving it away for free, but a recognition of where the market is going. Historically, the content has been made scarce by connecting it to a specific media (music on CDs, video on tape/DVD, etc.). What the internet is doing is breaking down the barrier of that scarcity, and that's changing the market, pushing out the supply to infinite levels and putting clear pricing pressure on the content. People used to make a living selling buggy whips too, but the market changed, and they couldn't any more.
In other words, it's wrong to look at this as a "choice" between the old way and the new way, but to look at the market trends and recognize that the old way (pretending the content is scarce) won't be viable any more -- and when that happens, those who try to sell their abundant good based on scarcity will find that there is no market and no matter what "right" they have to try to make money, the market won't care. Once you realize that, you can make the argument that content creators should wait until that market shift is complete to make the change, but as we go forward, I'll hopefully make a convincing argument that it actually makes much more sense (and much more money) to begin shifting now, before being forced to shift. But, for that, we'll have to wait a little longer...

Institute Partners on Mural Project
July 2010
To purchase this poster, pictured here, featuring the mural art, please email firstname.lastname@example.com. The cost is $12, which includes shipping and handling.
The Institute has partnered with Inglis Foundation and Independence Arts Studio on a mural designed and painted by residents of Inglis House, a skilled nursing care facility for adults with physical disabilities, located in Philadelphia. Inspired by the theme of the Society for Disability Studies conference, "Disability in the Geo-Political Imagination," hosted by the Institute and Temple University, the mural was unveiled on the penultimate day of the conference, June 4.
Nearly 30 Inglis House residents participated in the project under the direction of artists from the Independence Arts Studio, a professional design/arts studio in Philadelphia for artists with and without disabilities. At the end of July, the mural was installed permanently within Inglis House.
"They've worked diligently, and creatively ... to produce poetry that can be integrated into the work."
To create the mural, the artists met for a series of painting sessions in February, March and April. They began by identifying a series of symbols/images which are significant to all people, including those with disabilities and then painted with those symbols in black and white patterns, eventually adding color to the palette.
At the same time as the artists were painting, a poetry group was meeting to add their skill and artistry to the project. Project Manager Carol Marfisi, Instructor at the Institute, said that the group worked very hard to reflect both the theme of the painting and the theme of the conference. "This group has been very dedicated to the project," Carol says. "They've worked diligently, and creatively, over several sessions to produce poetry that can be integrated into the work."
Once all of the pieces were completed—black and white sections, color sections and the poetry section—the group met to determine how everything should come together. The final mural is in the form of a triptych and was installed in a busy corridor in Inglis House, frequented by many residents and their visitors.

The following post Future Of Buying Used Cars is courtesy of KNW Autobody
With the invent of the internet, buying used cars and all types of vehicles has changed a lot. Consumers are more well equipped and informed about making a purchase and what to look for. The business has changed drastically in the last 40 years and especially the last decade.
People can go online and look at prices and cars as well as car history reports to check the condition of vehicles before even stepping on the lot. And it seems the business may even change more according to Josh Hyatt on http://www.autoremarketing.com. He recently interviewed Rick Ricart. Here is a short snippet from the article –
Rick Ricart on future of used-car industry
COLUMBUS, Ohio –
Everyone who has been in the car sales business since the dawn of the Internet age will probably agree that, well, things are a lot different than they used to be.
Customers are more informed. There are a lot more ways to sell a vehicle. But as the old adage goes, as things change, many stay the same.
That was one important message shared by Rick Ricart, the vice president of sales and marketing at the Ricart Automotive Group and third-generation car salesman.
When recently speaking with Ricart, Auto Remarketing asked him how he has seen the business change over the course of his lifetime, more than three decades of which which he has spent in the car industry."Since I've been in business, it's a lot less forgiving … I think of the old adage of, 'a used car bought right was already 50 percent sold.' And today, if the right used car is bought right and merchandized correctly, it's 85 percent sold," he said. "The other 15 percent is just not making the customer want to leave."
And, for the most part, many salesman can probably agree. By the time they reach the dealership, the average customer is much more informed about their purchase than they were prior to the digital information age. More often than not, a customer knows more about a specific vehicle than the average salesman who has to know about a wide variety of vehicles. Which is what lead to Ricart's policy of not allowing sales staff to "sell cars," but instead "allow customers to buy a car."

And it seems there is even more change coming to the used car and vehicle industry with more sales being performed directly over the internet without even looking at the car. This we have to bring into question, can you really trust that you are getting what you are paying for? And how do you know that the vehicle doesn't have any major issues or has had any in the past without laying hands on it and having your mechanic look at it? Never the less, silicon valley is jumping on the band wagon to do internet sales with a lot of new start ups as Pete Carey wrote an article on MercuryNews.com –
Virtual dealers make buying used cars painless
Silicon Valley is grabbing a piece of the hidebound used-car industry with technology that makes buying a car a matter of a few clicks on a smartphone.
Launched in the past two years, valley startups Shift and Beepi, Phoenix's Carvana and a few others have put pre-owned car buying online, where deals can be struck and financing obtained in minutes, with the car delivered to your door.
"I think we're all in agreement that a lot of things can be done to positively impact how cars are sold in the U.S.," said Valentin Gui, co-founder of Instamotor, a San Francisco startup which has an app that connects sellers and buyers, performing digital checkups to root out fraud and other problems. "There are so many things you can do with technology to improve on that."
The used car business — estimated at $640 to $700 billion in 2015 — "has changed little over the past 50 years," according to IBISWorld's 2015 industry report.
But change is coming. By using mobile technology and algorithms that accurately predict how much a car will fetch and business models that keep overhead much lower than that of dealers, the new ventures say they can get a better deal for both sellers and buyers. They also emphasize transparency and value with seven- to 10-day returns with no questions asked.
I got a firsthand look at a mobile technology-driven car purchase a couple months ago as my son was browsing Craiglist for a pre-owned car, encountering some of the usual problems. The first car he found wasn't registered in the seller's name. The next one was 30 miles away with a different prospective buyer coming in a half-hour. A dealer had one listed, but it hadn't been detailed yet and wasn't immediately available.
Then he found a Prius on Craigslist that was advertised by Shift for its owner, someone who lived in San Francisco.
A Shift "car enthusiast" (that's an official title) drove the car to my house in Palo Alto from Shift's lot in South San Francisco. Shift's enthusiast — a USC grad like my son — went over a 200-point inspection of the car by the company's mechanics. After a test drive, my son bought it, signing the papers — including registration — in my living room.

Don Imus is leaving Connecticut and has slashed the price on his beachfront estate in Westport.
He and his wife Deidre are selling the 10,000 square foot 106 Beachside Ave. house Imus bought in 1997 and they've dropped the price from $30 million to $24,950,000, reports Westport Now.
"They spend every summer and many holidays helping the children with cancer at the Imus Ranch in Ribera, N.M., and they are purchasing another ranch in Austin, Texas," Darlene Letersky of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, Westport, told the Stamford Times. "They are in the Beachside Avenue home, maybe 50 days a year."
Imus bought the house for $4.6 million, according to the online assessor's database.
The couple also has a residence in New York.

Grant Writing Process Mini Manual
As soon as you have an idea for a project, please consult John McLain.
Please, complete a Pre-Grant Questionnaire and email the questionnaire for approval by the Provost to John McLain at least six weeks prior to proposal submission deadline.
Many funders allow only one proposal or Letter of Intent per year to be submitted by an agency. We will inform you of any internal pending proposals or whether coordination with a colleague may be necessary.
If your proposal requires institutional data, please consult Laura Coghlan at ext. 6676 as early as possible and/or check the Institutional Research website at: http://www.evergreen.edu/institutionalresearch/home.htm
We can also help:
- Search for funding agencies for your project
- Supply guidelines, forms, etc.
- Interpret forms, guidelines, terms used
- Assist/obtain budgetary information
- Give editorial assistance
- Format and print final documents
- Assist in obtaining Evergreen internal approval signatures
Submit your proposal draft and budget to the Academic Grants Office at least 3 weeks prior to submission deadline to allow enough time for a meaningful review by the respective Budget Coordinators, Deans, Provost, Vice President, Finance & Administration, and the Academic Grants Office.
Use the Project Proposal Check Sheet as a guide to get responses to your proposal from other affected offices in the College early enough to give yourself and others time to make or request any necessary changes and identify areas impacted by your proposal.
Here some examples of questions you may need to ask:
- Do you need data from Institutional Research? http://www.evergreen.edu/institutionalresearch/home.htm
- Have you spoken to your curriculum planning group?
- Will new employment positions be created?
- Will you use the Computer Center or purchase new computer equipment? (Requires approval by Director, Computing & Communications)
- Does my research involve human subjects or animals? (Requires review/approval by Eddy Brown, Academic DeanDean) http://www.evergreen.edu/deans/humansubjectsreviewapp.htm)
- Is the curriculum affected? (Requires approval by Tom Womeldorff, Curriculum Dean)
- Are matching funds required? (Requires approval by John A. Hurley, Jr., VP, Finance & Administration)
- Will you commit available space, equipment, or other resources? (Requires approval by Budget Dean)
- Does project involve radiation safety hazards or hazardous substances? (Requires approval by Radiation Officer)
- If proposal does not provide for full reimbursement of indirect costs, has this been discussed with the budget coordinator?
- Are other institutions participating in the proposal? Has appropriate institutional approval from the partnering institutions been obtained? Is the role of each institution clearly defined in the proposal?
Check with your Budget Coordinator for advice on budgetary issues. Your Budget Coordinator is your best resource for judging your project's possible impact on other campus divisions. This combined with their knowledge of accounting procedures in our system makes them invaluable as resources because the budget is one of the most crucial items in the grant. Evergreen's negotiated Indirect Cost Rate is 55% on salaries and wages for mainly on-campus research, 27% on salaries and wages for off-campus research. Some agencies may allow a lesser percentage or no indirect cost. When you have a budget and a rough draft of the activites proposed, see Dorothea Collins to begin circulating the application.
Read all the granting agency forms and instructions. Proposals must follow the guidelines (content, font, margins, document type, etc.) and be written in clear, straightforward style, presented in an easily readable and accessible fashion and as short as possible.
Your proposal should be clear, concise, and direct. You should use language the reader will understand, explaining highly technical phrases or words, abbreviations, and acronyms, and avoiding jargon.
See us early in the process - we may be able to help with information, contacts, or other issues.
Before a proposal is submitted, everyone concerned with the impact of the grant must be consulted. The College must be sure that grants do not violate internal constraints, such as lack of equipment or other resources; or external constraints, such as regulations of the State Office of Financial Management. Legally the applicant is The Evergreen State College or The Evergreen State College Foundation, not the Principal Investigator.
The budget coordinators are:
- Bill Zaugg, Budget Coordinator, Student Affairs, L3236, ext. 6291
- Walter Niemiec, Assoc. VP for Academic Budgeting, LIB 3801, ext. 6411
The VP for Finance & Administration and the VP for Student Affairs operate on an individual case basis for signatures. The Project Proposal Check Sheet must be signed by designated person(s) in all areas affected by your proposal before the proposal can be submitted. The Academic Grants Office will circulate and, after all approvals have been obtained, submit the proposal or Letter of Intent.

Yet again, a weak slate of games. So, here are four somewhat-relevant questions for amusement purposes only...
Is booing the New York Giants like booing soldiers returning home from Iraq, like "bigmouth" Antrel Rolle seems to think it is? [New York Daily News]
Is the fact that someone who quite possibly might be Tennessee Titan Chris Johnson wore an Eagles jersey at an Eagles game in an Eagles box the other night mean he'll compete with LeSean McCoy and Michael Vick for carries in Philly next year?
Is the Denver Broncos franchise really going down in flames, with head coach Josh McDaniels "in trouble," as the Denver Post posits today?
And has Aaron Rodgers made Green Bay totally forget about his predecessor when tipster Kathryn S. writes...
My parents live in Green Bay and hate Brett Favre because he is selfish and hates kids but they love Aaron Rodgers because he is humble and loves kids (for now).
Someone from the Packer organization called this guy at the Boys & Girls Club and told him to bring 75 kids from the Boys and Girls Club to the new bowling alley in Howard and they would get soda, pizza and free bowling. They got a second call upping the amount of kids to 100.
When they all got there, there were about 15 Packers players there to visit and bowl with them.
When they were done, all the kids were each given $100 to go to Shopko for Christmas shopping, accompanied by the Packer players.
And it was all funded by Aaron Rodgers. There was no publicity, no television cameras. We are lucky to have him in Green Bay.
Oh, Soulja Boy plays the Washington Redskins today, Chris Johnson faces the Jacksonville Jaguars, McDaniels travels to Kansas City and Rodgers hosts San Francisco.
