A team of universities and businesses have made it to the finals of an international robotics competition with a $1.6 million purse. The Multi-Autonomous Ground Robotics International Challenge (MAGIC) 2010 is being co-hosted by the U.S. Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center (TARDEC) and the Australian Department of Defence's (ADOD's) Defence Science and Technology Organisation. TARDEC is the core of ground robotics development for the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command and U.S. Department of Defense.
The competition, the first of its kind in the world, has been established to attract entries that will further the development of fully autonomous robots for military, commercial and civilian emergency applications. Competing teams will ultimately field squads of unmanned vehicle prototypes that autonomously coordinate, plan and execute a series of timed tasks including classifying and responding to simulated threats and exploring/mapping diverse terrains.
"The levels of quality and innovation in the MAGIC 2010 submissions surpassed our expectations," said TARDEC Director Dr. Grace M. Bochenek. "We are excited to move on to the next step in this collaborative, competitive process. MAGIC 2010 will lead to groundbreaking robotics research in critical new arenas that will address operational challenges, increase energy security and save Soldiers' lives."
MAGIC 2010 entries were open to international organizations from industry and academia. 23 entries were received from the U.S., Australia, Canada, Poland, Japan, South Korea and Turkey. 10 university/industry teams, selected as semifinalists, will each receive U.S. $50,000 in seed money to pursue their technology submissions. They include:
- MAGICIAN (including the University of Western Australia (Robotics and Automation Laboratory, Adaptive Systems Research Group), Flinders University (Artificial Intelligence and Intelligent Systems Laboratories), Edith Cowan University (Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering Cluster), Thales Australia (D3S&A, Naval Division), ILLIARC Pty Ltd.)
- Strategic Engineering (including an Australian robotics company specializing in advanced sensing, vision systems, autonomous vehicles, industrial robotics and field robotic platforms, and the University of Adelaide.)
- Northern Hunters from Canada (including Amtech Aeronautical Ltd, Scientific Instrumentation Ltd, Royal Military College of Canada.)
- CHIBA TEAM from Japan's Chiba University and Analytical Software.
- CAPPADOCIA from Turkey (including ASELSAN (Turkish military electronics company) with Bilkent University, Bogazici University, Middle East Technical University from Turkey, and Ohio State University (Control & Intelligent Transportation Research Lab) in the United States.)
- RASR - Reconnaissance and Autonomy for Small Robots Team from the United States (including Robotics Research, LLC, General Dynamics Robotic Systems, QinetiQ-North America, Del Services, Cedar Creek Defense University, Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and the University of Michigan.)
- TEAM CORNELL from Cornell University in the United States (School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering.)
- TEAM MICHIGAN from the United States (including SoarTech with research support from the University of Michigan.)
- VIRGINIA TECH from the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Virginia Tech in the U.S.
- UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA from the United States (including BAE Systems experts as auxiliary team members.)
Two other teams were also selected as semifinalists by the judging panel and have the opportunity to further compete by self-funding their projects. They include:
- NUMINENCE from Australia (including Numinence Pty Ltd and LaTrobe University with support from 10 small companies).
- UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES from Australia (including Kumamoto University, Japan, and University of Western Sydney).
Between now and June 2010, MAGIC 2010 judges will visit the 12 semi-finalists to cut the field down to five finalists. Each of those five remaining teams will receive an additional U.S. $50,000 to complete their entries. The final MAGIC 2010 challenge is scheduled to take place Nov. 8 - 13, 2010, in an undisclosed location in Australia. The grand prize winner will be announced at the Land Warfighter Conference Nov. 15 " 19 in Brisbane, Australia. During that conference, final awards of U.S. $750,000, $250,000 and $100,000 will be presented respectively to the three top teams to further their robotics research.

Did you know the largest outdoor Zamboni maintained ice rink in the United States is located in Keystone? It's five acres of ice skating heaven. Did you know you could ski at night in Keystone? It allows you to get the absolute most out of your ski holiday. You can also enhance your visit by staying in a value-oriented holiday rental. Unlike small, less-than-inspiring hotel rooms, holiday rentals offer enticing amenities such as fireplaces, fully equipped kitchens, dining areas, large bathrooms with Jacuzzis and hot tubs. You can select from a wide range of properties including charming chalets, cozy cabins and ultra modern condos.
To skiers, "good powder" on the slopes is everything and Keystone delivers big time. There are numerous ways to enjoy the snow in Keystone, including downhill skiing, Nordic skiing, sleigh rides, ice-skating and tubing. During the summer, the activity hit list encompasses fishing, golf, horseback riding, biking, hiking, gondola rides and river rafting.Bring your bike or rent one. There is a paved trail from Keystone to Breckenridge that goes around Lake Dillon as well as numerous off-road trails. Some popular family-oriented activities are fishing in the Snake River, sledding at the Keystone Nordic Center and riding paddleboats on Keystone Lake. Not all the action is outdoors, either. Shoppers will find some awesome deals at Outlets at Silverthorne, featuring stores like Ann Taylor, Kenneth Cole and Banana Republic.Golfers can play thirty-six incredible championship holes at the Ranch Course and River Course at Keystone Resort.Keystone's central location allows for easy day trips to other popular ski and summer recreation areas like Breckenridge (13 miles away), Copper Mountain (15 miles away), Loveland Pass (15 miles away) and Vail (35 miles away).
Whether you're visiting in the winter with lots of ski equipment and heavy clothing or during the summer with fishing gear and golf clubs, you're going to need ample space to store all your belongings and spread out and relax. A hotel room does not provide the extra room you get with a holiday rental. Moreover, a fully equipped kitchen allows you to prepare money saving meals ranging from steaks on the grill to hot chili on a frigid day.
What are you seeking? A mountainside condo with fabulous views? An Alpine-style chalet? A rustic cabin? We can help you find all of these holiday rentals and many others. Whatever you select, we have special deals and discounts on a wide variety of properties in various settings.

Verbal has had the meaning "spoken" since the late 16th century and is thus synonymous with oral: He wrote a memorandum to confirm the verbal agreement. Slightly earlier, verbal had developed the meaning "expressed in words, whether spoken or written (as opposed to actions)": Verbal support is no help without money and supplies. Although some say that the use of verbal to mean "spoken" produces ambiguity, it rarely does so. Verbal is used in this sense in all varieties of speech and writing and is fully standard. The context usually makes the meaning clear: No documents are necessary; a verbal agreement (or contract or order) will suffice. Oral can be used instead of verbal if the context demands: My lawyer insists on a written contract because oral agreements are too difficult to enforce.

Dell have been in bed with the world's largest telecom carrier, China Mobile since embedding their 3G tech into Dell netbooks and will be inundating an expectant (and populace) China Mobile customer base with the Mini 3 smartphone. Dell's exciting new phone carries the Android OS and is built around the creatively named oPhone platform. In a lateral move, Brazil's Claro (which just so happens to have more customers than Canada has people) will be the world's first carrier to introduce the 3G version of Dell's smartphone.
Happy Dell Day!

I am currently running a PL 10 Supernatural style game based on the concept that the PC "break the rules". That is each of them got to pick something about their character that breaks the normal rules for the supernatural- The summoner can summon certain creatures without the need of a circle (turns out he's the son of the King of Hell), the enchanter can enchant items with moving parts (he's the son of Maab), the half vampire character's other half is half angel, the water manipulator has no idea about anything from his past from before he signed up at MEPS for a six year stint in the Navy- he got out because he took an arrow to the knee.
Well, they just put a stop to a witch who had murdered the school's headmaster's "tame vampire" because if she couldn't have him nobody could. (Based on Drew from Vampire High and turns out to be the only son of Lilith). However,in doing so the witch managed kill upwards of fifty people, and lead the police on a car chase across three states when she stole a bus full of people. Then they stopped two rampaging "Bigger Foots" (60' tall sasquatches) on national television when the public is supposed to have no idea of things mystical.
So I've decided to let them REALLY break the rules and have the witch's action have attracted the attention of the Dark Powers of the Realm of Dread and give her a domain of her own. The heroes get pulled into it with her along with the reincarnated version of the vampire she slew.
Any suggestions? Comments? Ideas?

Re: Bwahahahaha, Let the Mists take them all! Suggesstiosn?
Off the top of my head, if her 'crime' is being visible, put her in an Orwellian nightmare where everything she does is watched, questioned, and scrutinized. Then have the secret police make her friends 'disappear' and (after re-programming) turn on her. If you want to twist the knife, have her best friends rat her out because they were hauled in and 'interrogated' for 'having dealings with the witch'. Only if she bends herself to secrecy (and learns what it -really- is to be hunted) can she make her way out of it.
Alternately (and again, off the top of my head) put her in a world where -something- is a secret everyone knows but her. Not wholly sure where to go with that, but it's an idea.

Three out of ten women who undergo polar body diagnosis go on to have a child. The extensive technique of polar body analysis (PBA) is described by researchers in reproductive medicine at Lübeck in an article in the current edition of Deutsches Ärtzeblatt International, in which they present three successful cases and one failure (Dtsch Arztebl Int 2009; 106(33): 533-8).
Polar bodies are by-products of normal cell division (meiosis) of an oocyte — a woman's egg cell — on its way to maturation. For people with monogenic diseases, which are caused by gene defects, polar body analysis can give an indication of whether the healthy version of the gene is present in the egg before fertilization takes place. Monogenic diseases, such as cystic fibrosis, are caused by an altera-tion of one gene; this makes them different from polygenic diseases, such as diabetes mellitus, for example, which are caused by a combination of defects in several genes.
In the cases of four women who were carriers of a monogenic disease, their own egg cells containing the intact version of the gene concerned were fertilized, allowed to develop to the embryonic stage, and then transferred into the womb. Three of the women had a successful pregnancy and gave birth to a healthy child. One woman failed to become pregnant, even after a further round of PBA fol-lowed by embryo transfer, and decided not to continue the treatment. These four cases are among nine couples tested using PBA at Lübeck by Georg Griesinger and his co-authors because of a known risk that the mother might transmit a monogenic disease.
In Germany PBA is an alternative to preimplantation diagnosis (PID), which depending on the result can lead to termination of pregnancy with all the associated psychological and physical stresses. The disadvantages of PBA are: hereditary diseases transmitted through the father cannot be diagnosed, and in the case of autosomal recessive diseases egg cells that would have resulted in the birth of healthy heterozygous carriers are discarded. In Germany, PBA for monogenic diseases is at present performed at only two centers, in Lübeck and Regensburg.

From 1990 to today, Burnside & Associates ran sophisticated field operations for political campaigns across the county. Nearly ten years ago we expanded our community outreach and grasstops business to U.S. and international corporate clients.
Burnside & Associates is certified as a Woman Business Enterprise (WBE), Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), and Small Business Enterprise (SBE) with the State of California. We are also certified by the County of Los Angeles as a Community Business Enterprise (CBE). For our client's printing needs, we work with Union vendors who use environmentally-friendly equipment and offer a full range of recycled papers.
Meet Sue Burnside, President
Sue Burnside's expertise is in voter identification, targeting and contact, Vote-By-Mail, as well as coalition building, neighborhood organizing, direct mail and post-election voter canvasses.
Among the highlights of Burnside's historic campaign wins: Janice Hahn's Congressional race in 2011; in 2010 the 22 vote victory for State senator Juan Vargas; Senator John Kerry for President's victory in the state of Oregon in 2004; an independent expenditure PAC that moved Colorado's House and Senate back to the Democratic column; Vice President Al Gore's 2000 victory in the state of New Mexico; Wendy Greuel for Los Angeles City Council 2001, a special election decided by a 225-vote win margin in a post-election canvass; Joe Baca for Congress 1999; Lois Capps for Congress in 1998; L.A. Unified's Proposition BB in 1997, the second attempt by the School District to pass the largest local school bond in California history; Jane Harman for Congress 1994 -- an election was so close that Harman's opponent traveled to Washington expecting to be sworn in, only to return to the district two weeks later after Harman's come-from-behind victory created by Burnside's vote-by-mail program; and Tom Hayden for Senate 1992, with the underdog Hayden beating the better-funded incumbent Hirsch Rosenthal by 582 votes.
Sue Burnside grew up in Southern California and got her political start during Santa Monica's acrimonious rent control battles. She lives in Los Angeles and Palm Springs. Sue is the Co chair of the Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund's Campaign Board, and sits on the Equality California board. In her spare time Sue like sailing, DYI projects and land banking.
Meet Arianne Garcia, Senior Consultant
Arianne joined our firm after a huge victory for State Senator Juan Vargas in San Diego, where on Election Day stood 505 votes behind his opponent, but after the post-election canvass, came away with the winning margin of just 22 votes!
Before joining Burnside & Associates in 2010, Arianne worked on campaigns at the local, state, and federal levels. Some of her past work includes Equality California, Judy Chu for Congress, and Hillary Clinton for President. Since joining the firm, Arianne has worked on a number of successful campaigns, including the city council recall in the City of Bell, a reelection bid for Los Angeles councilman Tom LaBonge, and most recently a big win for Rep. Janice Hahn in a Congressional special election.
Arianne is a graduate of Cal Poly Pomona and a Southern California native.
Meet Ryan Low, Advisor/Data Specialist
Low joined Burnside & Associates following his work on Janice Hahn's successful, come-from-behind campaign for Congress in 2011. Specializing in data, field, messaging, and GOTV, Low brings with him deep experience from dozens of campaigns, especially in California and New Jersey. Having worked in management, field, fundraising, and communications, Low approaches every project at Burnside & Associates with a wide-angle perspective. Before joining Burnside & Associates, Low worked for State Assemblymember Warren Furutani, focusing on Asian American Pacific Islander and Latino outreach. Low grew up in Los Angeles and studied legal history at Princeton University.
Meet Ben Wayne, Associate
With a passion for voter engagement and issues affecting local communities, he caught the political bug while in college and has not looked back since. Before joining Burnside and Associates in 2014, Ben worked on campaigns at the local, state, and federal level. Some of his past work includes Phil Ting for Assembly, Julia Brownley for Congress, and Organizing for Action. Since joining the firm, Ben has worked on Wendy Greuel for Congress, and works with our various corporate clients. Ben is a graduate of San Francisco State University.
Meet Adam Fleishman, Associate
From a family of Arizona Democratic activists, Adam grew up in San Diego, California, where he cut his teeth in local politics and community activism. In the past, Adam worked on David Alvarez's mayoral campaign as well as Scott Peters' Congressional campaign. Adam started working for the first time, with Burnside & Associates, in the summer of 2014, in a grueling fight to raise the San Diego Minimum Wage. Since, he has been a valuable part of the team helping with various projects in San Diego and Los Angeles - - most recently as a volunteer coordinator and field organizer in the Bennet Kayser for School Board Campaign. He is now a resident of Los Angeles, CA.

The quality of organic cotton is equal to or better than conventionally grown cotton, yet organically grown methods support biodiversity and healthy ecosystems, improve the quality of soil and often use less water. Growing organically takes more time, requires more knowledge and skill, and, for now, costs more. But it's worth it.
To ensure we are buying cotton that is organic as defined by the USDA's National Organic Program, we require numerous certificates issued by an accredited third-party certification body for every step of the supply chain, from farm to factories.

"Flowers," dark Brit-com, is a bouquet of strange
"Flowers," the dark British comedy premiering on the streaming service Seeso on Thursday, is the strangest TV concoction to vie for attention in years. It's worth a peek just to see how bizarre scripted TV comedy is getting.
This isn't oddball like "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" on Netflix or odd like the revamped "Odd Couple" on CBS. It's weirder than those.
Opening with an unsuccessful suicide, narrated in verse, jumping to dreary dark drama, with assorted disconnected characters including an Asian stereotype popping up for no apparent reason, "Flowers" is more downbeat and genre defying than those more standard comedies. It seems to dare viewers to stick with it.
Seeso's first original scripted comedy, written and directed by BAFTA-nominated Will Sharpe, is a head-scratcher. It does have Olivia Colman ("Broadchurch," "The Night Manager") going for it. Colman plays Deborah Flowers, a dotty woman in a seemingly loveless, open marriage.
Deborah is a music teacher; her husband Maurice (Julian Barratt) is the author of illustrated children's books The Grubbs. They aren't quite together, but haven't managed to divorce. They have two maladjusted kids and Maurie's nutty mom living with them. Deborah aims to keep the family together at all costs and becomes increasingly suspicious that Maurice is in a secret homosexual relationship with his Japanese illustrator Shun (played by show creator Sharpe).
If the rest of comedy is too ordinary for you, you might try "Flowers."

'Unhate' Campaign Features Provocative Ads of Obama, World Leaders Kissing
A new ad campaign hopes to promote tolerance by showing world leaders kissing each other on the lips, including President Barack Obama locking lips with Chinese President Hu Jintao and Israel's and Palestine's leaders sharing a smooch.
The startling photos are part of the Benetton-founded UNHATE foundation, which "seeks to contribute to the creation of a new culture of tolerance, to combat hatred, building on Benetton's underpinning values," according to the campaign's website.
Besides the kissing images already mentioned, other images, which were created digitally, include Obama with Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, France's Nicholas Sarkozy with Germany's Angela Merkel (the only male-female combo in the campaign), and Pope Benedict XVI kissing Islamic leader Ahmed al-Tayeb, Sheikh of the Al-Azzhar mosque.
According to Alessandro Benetton, executive deputy chairman of the group, the images are not meant to disrespect some of the most powerful people in the world.
"The images are very strong, but we have to send a strong message," Benetton said, according to the Times of India. "We are not wanting to be disrespectful of the leaders...we consider them 'conception figures' making a statement of brotherhood with a kiss."
The UNHATE campaign also has a video which shows men kissing each other after fighting, and Muslim women kissing each other clandestinely in the dark, among other kissing snippets.
For people who feel that the images are offensive, Benetton says the problem is with them – not the ads.
"Negative reactions will come from negative hearts," he said.
Benetton is no stranger to controversial ad campaigns. In 1991, the Italian clothing company released ads depicting a young nun in full habit kissing a Catholic priest. The Roman Catholic Church took Benetton to court, demanding that the 1,300 billboards be taken down, but the complaint was rejected, according to The New York Times.

Hogs drop sixth in a row
Auburn beats Arkansas, 35-17, in Malzahn's return
Bret Bielema pulled out every trick he could think of in an attempt to snap Arkansas' losing streak.
None of the first-year coach's trickery, however, was enough to slow No. 8 Auburn in a 35-17 loss on Saturday night.
Bielema tried a variety of plays in an attempt to slow Arkansas' struggles, including an onside kick attempt, a pair of halfback passes and a fourth-down conversion out of a swinging gate formation.
The end result, however, was the same for the Razorbacks (3-6, 0-5 Southeastern Conference), who have now lost six straight games and are 0-5 in the SEC for just the second time since joining the conference in 1992.
It's also the longest losing streak for Arkansas since a seven-game stretch in 1990, and it extended the longest losing streak of first-year coach Bret Bielema's career as a head coach.
"You make your own breaks," Bielema said. "You create your own luck. I understand the ball bounces a certain ways at time. I'd much rather get all these bad bounces out of our system now so that it will start creating some great advantages when the ball bounces our way a little bit."
While Arkansas' woes continued, Auburn coach Gus Malzahn did his best to hide any emotion about his return home, referring to it as "a business trip."
Tre Mason made sure Auburn handled its business for its first-year coach on Saturday, rushing for four touchdowns as the Tigers won their fifth straight, another shining moment in what's been a remarkable turnaround season following last year's 3-9 disaster.
For Malzahn, it was a signature moment in a career born and largely bred as a high school coach in Arkansas. It came in front of a large group of friends and family, and it came at the expense of the school the Fort Smith, Ark., native once briefly suited up for as a walk-on and later served as its offensive coordinator.
"Just to be completely honest, it's just about getting our eighth win," Malzahn said. "I've got a lot of friends, a lot of family and this is a special place, but you separate that and you've got a job to do.
"I'm very proud of our team coming in here and getting the victory."
The win for Auburn came largely behind the running of Mason, who finished with 168 yards rushing.
Jonathan Williams had 104 yards rushing and Alex Collins add 92 on the ground for the Razorbacks, who were unable to overcome three turnovers and an early injury to quarterback Brandon Allen that led to backup AJ Derby briefly playing -- resulting in two turnovers.
"It's frustrating for me as a head coach, as an assistant, a player, a parent, an administrator, alumni and fan," Bielema said. "I get it; I understand it.
"... I know where we need to be. We are not there yet."
While Mason stole the spotlight on the field with touchdown runs of 9, 4, 5 and 12 yards, it was the two coaches whose budding rivalry served as the primary story line entering the game -- and even at parts during it.
The two engaged in a bit of back and forth regarding player safety in a hurry-up offense this summer, and Bielema stoked the fire earlier this week by accusing Auburn of being less-than forthcoming in game video it shared with the Razorbacks.
Bielema and Malzahn briefly shook hands before the game, but it was Mason who quickly turned into the center of attention -- leading a Tigers' offense that finished with 233 yards rushing.
Mason's third touchdown put Auburn up 28-3 to open the second half, helping secure Malzahn's first win in four tries at Arkansas. The former high school coach in the state was 0-3 in Fayetteville as an opposing assistant coach with Tulsa and the Tigers, but he left with a convincing win after his first trip home as a head coach.
Auburn's Nick Marshall, returning from a shoulder injury, accounted for 177 yards of total offense, including an 88-yard touchdown throw to Sammie Coates.
Arkansas fell to 0-5 in the SEC for just the second time since joining the conference in 1992. The Razorbacks have lost six games in a row -- lately in convincing fashion.
Zach Hocker's 34-yard field goal in the second quarter closed Auburn's lead to 7-3, and it was Arkansas' first points since the opening quarter against South Carolina on Oct. 12. The points snapped a streak in which the Razorbacks had been outscored 121-0.
The Razorbacks did close to within 28-17 early in the fourth quarter after a 2-yard touchdown run by Kiero Small, but even the rally wasn't without a show of gamesmanship by Bielema , who said the Tigers had cut out the swinging gate portion of a point-after attempt on the shared video.
Small's touchdown came after Arkansas converted a fourth down, using a play in which the Razorbacks lined up for the first time this season in a swinging gate formation.
Even the subtle shot across the field wasn't enough for Arkansas to overcome Mason, who responded shortly afterward with his fourth touchdown run, a 12-yard score that put the Tigers up 35-17.
"You guys read too much into that," Bielema said.
Regardless if the call was a shot at Malzahn or not, the Arkansas native continued to downplay any rivalry between himself and Bielema after the game. He was more focused on how far Auburn has come this season, and where it's headed.
"We just feel very blessed to be 8-1," Malzahn said. "Just proud of this team; they've come a long way and just need to keep improving."

Why doctors leave their posts – problem-solving irregularities in the health sector with healthcare workers in Bangladesh
It's not often you get together the very people working on the frontline to sit down together and discuss why and how irregular practices occur in their sector – and what can be done about them. But that's just what we did with a group of frontline health workers at a workshop in Bangladesh's capital Dhaka in December 2017. We wanted to understand why corrupt and irregular practices occur in the health sector - what are the underlying incentives and processes? And what are some feasible and impactful ways to change these practices?
Many developing countries, including the three where our research consortium, the Anti-Corruption Evidence research consortium is working, Bangladesh, Nigeria and Tanzania, struggle to provide free or low-cost healthcare to all their citizens. Instead, citizens are often forced to buy services from the private sector at higher fees or worse, approach untrained or traditional healers. There is agreement in the literature that a large proportion of these inefficiencies occur due to corrupt practices (though there's an active debate about whether using the c-word is helpful in this debate, which is why we talked about 'irregularities' during this workshop). Many of these practices are related to the way societies in developing countries are organized around patron-client relations, where tax resources are insufficient, and resources, jobs and promotions require lobbying powerful politicians.

RE: st: interpreting cofficient on interaction of two logged variables
Tue, 21 Aug 2012 21:11:19 +0000
Thank you David H., and from before David G. and Maarten.
I mustn't have been thinking clearly when I wrote the first question this morning - of course Log (ab)=Log a + Log b.... no references needed. Sorry.
The main question I have is #2 - I would like to find STATA code that calculates the average marginal effects of log x1 on log y - across all values of log x1. The coefficient on the interaction term that STATA provides is the marginal effect of log x1 on log y evaluated at the mean of log x2 (of course to get the total marginal effect of log x1 we need to add the coefficient on log x1 as well). Is there a way to have STATA calculate (and perhaps plot) the total marginal effect of log x1 on log y (against all values of x2)?
Thank you for your help.

Subject: Re: st: interpreting cofficient on interaction of two logged variables
Dear Anna,
Others have commented on the mathematics of the log function.
I assume that the interaction predictor is in that model for a good reason, either from the theory underlying the model or because you (or
others) have found that it makes a useful contribution in actual sets of data. The justification for including the interaction term should come from one of these sources.
After you have decided to transform x1 and x2 by taking their logarithms (for any of a variety of reasons), they are simply predictors in the model (that happen to be measured in the log scale).
Their interaction represents (or summarizes) a nonlinearity in the relation of log(y) to log(x1) and log(x2). The slope of log(y) against log(x1) varies with the value of log(x2), and similarly for the slope of log(y) against log(x2).
Viewed in another way, the model describes a particular type of quadratic surface in the variables log(x1) and log(x2). By replacing
log(x1) and log(x2) by suitable linear combinations of those two variables, it should be possible to eliminate the interaction term, in trade for separate quadratic terms in log(x1) and log(x2), though that may not improve the interpretability of the model.

Janet Tavakoli is a Chicago-based consultant with experience structuring and trading credit derivatives. With her knowledge of these complex securities, the tough-talking principal of Tavakoli Structured Finance has unique insight into the workings of the money economy, and has decried the low morals of high finance to any who would listen. Her new e-book, aptly titled The New Robber Barons, chronicles the unpunished, illegal socialization of losses and privatization of gains that have characterized our era of fraudulent securitization and backscratching bailouts.
In this month's cover story ("Finding the Culprits"), Tavakoli laments the cozy, nay crony relationships between Washington and Wall Street. MF Global's Jon Corzine, erstwhile U.S. senator and Goldman Sachs alum, personifies the dysfunction: More than $1 billion disappeared from customer accounts following years of irregularities that examiners failed to probe.
Tavakoli has written books and taught university courses on structured finance and it is useful to have someone with her knowledge and moral compass evaluating today's financial scandals. She calls for a return to the separation of commercial and investment banking activity that ended with the repeal of Glass-Steagall in1999, and this makes sense from a policy point of view.
But something far more fundamental than technical expertise and sensible regulation is missing in today's economy — and that is an ethically aware workforce. Congress has responded to scandals with sweeping increases in regulation, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank bills. While these help to maintain employment among CPAs and lawyers (trillions of dollars have already been spent in compliance), they do little to arrest the tide of unethical behavior in corporate America.
It has become fashionable in recent years to strengthen the business ethics component of MBA programs. While the trend should be encouraged (in every field, not just business), university-level programs come into play only after a person's essential moral character has been formed.
The budget deficit gets unceasing press attention, but the character deficit of America's youth bodes is even more alarming. A survey of 43,000 U.S. high school students in 2010 by the Josephson Institute found that one in three boys, and one in four girls, admitted to shoplifting, while 21% admitted stealing from a parent or relative and 18% from a friend. Even larger proportions of students lied to save money (48% of males, 35% of females), and an outright majority of students (59%) admitted to cheating on tests.
Said Michael Josephson, founder of the Institute, which has conducted these report cards since 1992: "As bad as these numbers are, they appear to be understated. More than one in four students confessed they lied on at least one or two survey questions." Despite these appalling statistics, 92% of surveyed students were satisfied with their personal ethics.
The financial services industry of the future, if it is to avoid further scandal, needs a cadre of ethically sensitive individuals to root out the liars, cheaters and thieves who will inevitably find their way into high positions.
Financial services firms, large and small, have long fallen over themselves to back financial literacy programs. Who will step up and sponsor youth-oriented ethical literacy programs?

Inadequate meat content, by-products, low quality grain and filler, carcinogenic chemical preservatives.
The main ingredient in this foodcorn. Corn is a difficult to digest grain, which limits its nutritional value for dogs. We consider this to be a low quality ingredient. It is also commonly associated with allergy and skin problems. We prefer not to see these grains used in dog food. Corn appears on the ingredient list as corn gluten meal. This is the "dried residue from corn after the removal of the larger part of the starch and germ, and the separation of the bran by the process employed in the wet milling manufacture of corn starch or syrup, or by enzymatic treatment of the endosperm". In plain English, that which remains after all the nutritious bits have been removed.
It is a concern to see fat as the second ingredient. Research at Purdue University has identified fat in the top four ingredients of dry food as a factor that increases the risk of bloat in large breed dogs.
This food uses by-products as the sole meat-related ingredient. Chicken by-product meal - a very low quality ingredient. This is defined as "consisting of the ground, rendered, clean parts of the carcass of slaughtered chicken, such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs and intestines, exclusive of feathers, except in such amounts as might occur unavoidable in good processing practice".
We prefer not to see the use of any form of soy in dog food as this is an ingredient of low quality and commonly causing allergy problems. Soybean meal, the ground remains of soybeans after extraction of oil, provides additional low quality protein to the food. Soybean Mill Run is the ground hulls (outer shell) of soybeans after the useful bean meat and oil has been extracted.
We note also the use of chemical preservatives - BHA and BHT. These chemicals are banned or heavily regulated in use in human food due to being carcinogenic.

Since the 2010 Paralympic Games, I have overcome so much. I have learned to live with my disability and learned to accept who I am. I am a wife, mother and a visually impaired Paralympian, who, with her husband as her guide, won two bronze medals at the 2010 Paralympic Games.
After Vancouver, Rob and I already had our goals set on Sochi and to represent Team USA at the 2014 Paralympic Games with a "Vision4Gold," ready to work hard to make our dreams reality. Back to the gym, back on snow and training hard.
However, nothing ever goes as we plan.
October 27, 2010
Early that morning, I woke up partially paralyzed on my right side. Not able to walk, feeling only tingling in my right side. We knew something was really wrong. I was so scared. Rob took me to the emergency room and they ran many tests. I was rushed to Denver in an ambulance and spent six days in the hospital getting IV steroids. Then, days later, I was in physical therapy to learn how to walk again. In bed one night lying awake and feeling sorry for myself, I came up with this: "Life is a gift… living it is a choice."
I choose to live my life and decided to work even harder to get back on snow. Back to where I felt whole and free.
At a race in December 2010, my doctor called me between runs and said, "You have multiple sclerosis." Life as I knew it – the one I fought hard to overcome – a life without sight, could now become without sight and mobility.
Why me?
It was time to make another choice. I decided I would fight this disease.
March 2011
I started a treatment program with daily injections. This would be a challenge. I am and always have been petrified of shots. I was up for the challenge. I was ready to beat this. Daily injections, physical therapy and my regular training/racing program was the plan. It seemed to be working for almost a year. I was climbing my way back on the racing circuit. We were not back to the speed and level we were before, but holding our ground at the World Cup level.
February 2012
I had another relapse and was sent home from Spain unable to finish competing in the World Cup races there.
I went home to Park City, Utah, and had a nurse there to meet me to start an IV treatment program. This is when I first thought I could not beat this and maybe it was time to quit ski racing. Skiing was no longer my outlet; it was too hard, too much disappointment. I just did not want to fight anymore. I finished out the season with a lot of tears and little hope. I finally shut the season down before the U.S. speed nationals (my favorite events) in March. My body and mind could not take it anymore. It was no longer fun. Ski racing was bringing me down, and I felt like I was failing others and myself.
May 2012
I am not a quitter. Skiing is what I love and ski racing brings me hope and joy. I decided I would spend the summer learning to live with multiple sclerosis and not fighting it. Understanding it, not doubting it.
I met a man named Dr. Zetterberg a couple years back. He moved to Park City and introduced me to chiropractic care. He started using a devise on me called an activator. I thought he was crazy but I was desperate. His endless hours and knowledge/practice helped me in so many ways I cannot explain. He helped change my body and started having my body work for me, not against me. This was the beginning.
May 2012 – October 2012
Rob and I pushed me beyond my physical and mental comfort level. I would change what I put into my body even more than I did before. I decided to take charge of my mind through sports psych books. Then I reached out to an amazing woman who has helped me find my path back and remember why I love skiing/racing. She has helped me realize what I have overcome and kept me in the present. We worked many hours with Allen in the Park City ski studio, learning how to work on my own skiing and visualizing. There, I did not have to worry about my surroundings, just my own skiing. We dialed in my equipment and were ready to take the next step.
We did a national team training camp in Chili in September and a lot started coming together. I now know my body and mind and am ready to enjoy my sport again.
2012 – 2013 season
Our plan going into the season was to focus more on speed events (downhill, super G and super combined). Our goal was to try to get our first world championship podium in La Molina, Spain, then go on to Sochi, Russia, for the World Cup Finals for just recon… no expectations, just learn the hill and prepare us for the 2014 Paralympic Games on the same hill.
As always, "nothing ever goes as we plan."
Our focus on speed events led to many high-speed crashes. We won five North American super G races and one downhill race. Team Vision4Gold is U.S. super G, slalom, and giant slalom champions. In slalom, we only finished two races this season, but those two races we did very well. There were a lot of ups and downs throughout the season. At World Championships, we did not podium. Although we felt we skied well, we were just not fast enough. Then our "recon-only" trip to Sochi ended up with us winning the last World Cup downhill of the season. Wow, what a surprise! There is a lot more to what went on leading up to that win, but that's another story.
Don't ever give up!

Africa's diversity is apparent to anyone who travels to the continent, and for simplification purposes, we have split Africa into 6 regions - Northern Africa, Central Africa, Southern Africa, Eastern Africa, Western Africa, and the Indian Ocean.
In the north, you have countries like Morocco, Algeria and Egypt, which have a long tradition of welcoming visitors. Further south there is Kenya and Tanzania, both renowned for their wildlife and for Africa's tallest peak, Mt. Kilimanjaro. On the southern tip of the continent is South Africa, the region's economic and political superpower which in itself lies many fascinating cultures. In between is a wealth of other countries waiting to be explored, but there are also the trouble spots like Congo and Sudan, which are almost all but avoided by travelers.
If you're planning a longer, round the world type trip and want to add Africa into your route, register for a free BootsnAll membership to take advantage of all Indie and its capabilities. Below is a sample multi-stop itinerary that includes Africa.
Below are some highlights for each region to get you started on your trip planning.
Africa PillarsTrying to narrow down where to go in massive continent like Africa can be challenging, so we've chosen a handful of highlights, or pillars, for each region.
Northern Africa
- The most popular destination in northern Africa, and perhaps the entire continent, is the Pyramids of Giza, the only original, standing wonder of the world. Cairo, and all of Egypt, can be crazy and chaotic, but it's worth it for a glimpse of the man-made structure made thousands of years ago.
- Algeria as a whole has been gaining steam as a popular travel destination for the last few years, and with good reason - the largest country on the Mediterranean Sea offers travelers a cheaper beach alternative than its European counterparts, and it is also home to ancient ruins, great colonial architecture, and desert.
- Morocco has been on the tourist trail for a while now, with highlights being Casablanca, Marrakech, Fes, and Chefchaouen.
- Tunisia is popular on the resort-travel-crowd circuit, but if you go independently (which is easier than it sounds), you may feel like you're the only tourist around.
- If you're looking for some outdoor adventure, look no further than Tanzania. Climb the highest peak on the continent, go on safari in the Serengeti, then go chill on the beaches of Zanzibar.
- Malawi is another one of those destinations that is quickly gaining popularity amongst indie travelers. Come introduce yourself to Africa in one of the easier countries to travel in and visit what some say are the most hospitable people in the world.
- If you're looking to get off the beaten path, then this is the region to do it in. There are many countries in the region suffering from political instability, so always keep an eye on the news and stay up to date with current events, but if you head to Western Africa, you should find yourself in the middle of a cultural exchange like no other.
- South Africa is the most popular country in the region, and with good reason. Cape Town and Johannesburg provide the home bases for travel within the country, where you can see Africa's top wildlife, visit tropical beaches, and an unmatched culture.
- Looking for an adventure? Then Mozambique is your place! Safaris, amazing beaches, stunning dive spots, and magical offshore islands are just a few highlights of an up and coming travel destination.
- A high percentage of travelers come to Africa for game-viewing, and Botswana has an extremely high concentration of game. Visit places like Moremi National Park in the Okavango Delta, Chobe National Park, and the Central Kalahari Game Reserve.
- Madagascar offers rolling highlands, sub-tropical rainforest, baobab dotted deserts, rock forests, and white, sandy beaches - all in a landmass the size of Texas. It's also a great destination for rock climbing and trekking if you're into that sort of thing
- Be welcomed by some of the warmest and most relaxed people you'll find in the island paradise of Mauritius. Though being a beach bum during the entirety of your stay is tempting, there's a lot more to this little island than soaking in the rays. There are historical sites galore, tons of activities, and a diverse and fascinating culture to keep you busy when you're not laying on the beach.
OverviewTravel in Africa can be rough. It can also be a great joy. If you have patience, a willingness to maintain an open mind, a desire to explore, and the ability to laugh at the absurd, your African travels will change your life.
TransportationThere are many entry points to Africa. Your best bet in terms of cheap airfare is to fly into one of the bigger cities like Johannesburg or Nairobi. Depending on where you are starting from flights to Africa can be either quite cheap or outrageously expensive. As is true nearly everywhere, flying into the biggest cities is usually your best bet for a cheap ticket.
Or look into adding Africa into a longer, round the world trip with Indie, BootsnAll's multi-stop flight finder. Get an immediate price, bookable price on itineraries up to 25 legs.
Many people who travel to Africa prefer to do so in a group or through an organized adventure trip. This is especially the case with safari trips. BootsnAll has some of the best African adventure trips and safaris in the world. We work closely with local tour providers to offer you many options at very affordable rates.
AccommodationsIf you are looking for a place to stay check out hostels in Africa for those on a tighter budget.

Our newest vegan guest blogger is Melissa from It's Got Vegan In It. Her post below is an fantastic round up of vegan cooking shows. I wholeheartedly agree with her and I'm glad someone had the smarts to make such a list. Vegan shows are growing in popularity and yay for that. Go vegans!
Melissa went vegan in August of 2011. Through her blog, she hopes to inspire others around her to do the same, as well as educate people on the plight of animals. A long time lover of all things chocolate, Melissa believes delicious vegan chocolate and accessible knowledge about how easy vegan living is is the key to changing the people around her.
Check out Melissa on Twitter and Facebook. Welcome Melissa!
I'm hoping I live to see the day when a vegan cooking show becomes the norm. I know there are vegan cooking shows on tv such as Jason Wrobel's "How to Live to 100" on The Cooking Channel, Vegan Mash-up, and The Jazzy Vegetarian. However, these shows are usually on special cable networks or on stations that don't reach the masses. My hope is that one day you can turn on basic tv channels and tune in to your favorite vegan cooking show. In the meantime, we can enjoy the plethora of vegan cooking shows on YouTube!
I've tried to gather up some of the most fun and favorite YouTube vegan cooking show in the vegan world. If I missed one you think deserves a nod, be sure to mention it in the comments below!
(Note, for all of you who chimed in with your suggestions – thank you! I added some of the shows you've suggested. Whatever gets veganism front and center is better for the cause!)
Jaime K of "Save the Kales" was one of the first vegan cooking shows I ever discovered. Her meals are made with simple ingredients and directions, they look delicious, and both Jaime and the show are so charming!
Lindsay Nixon of The Happy Herbivore has had a successful plant-based and healthy living blog for some time now and has several plant-based cookbooks out on the market. She recently launched a series of cooking shows for us to enjoy!
If you don't know The Vegan Zombie, now's the time to catch up before the zombie apocalypse.
Christy Morgan of The Blissful Chef not only shares her cooking tips and recipes, but her YouTube channel is chock-full of healthy living advice and lots of "ask a vegan chef" FAQ videos.
JL Fields of "JL Goes Vegan" was a huge influence during my early vegan years. I had communicated with her via email, then met her in person at The Seed in NYC, and have followed her vegan food/vegan lifestyle blog for some time now. I am delighted to share that she, too, has several cooking demos on her YouTube page. JL is also queen of the pressure cooker, so check out her Pressure Cooking Community on Google Plus!
Oh, Brian L. Patton…he'll make you giggle and salivate with his comic flair and easy recipes.
For those of you that are looking to find raw vegan recipes, look no further than FullyRawKristina! She's so bubbly and sweet; it must be all the fruit she eats 😉
If you're like me and you have a sweet tooth, don't miss Tasha Edwards of The Sweetest Vegan!
Don't be scared of the Vegan Black Metal Chef! He's actually pretty cool!
The Vegan Cooking With Love videos are so professionally-done, they're only eclipsed by how yummy the recipes are!
Thanks to you guys, the readers, I was sure to add this one to the list. See, I'm learning about vegan cooking shows, too! (Thank you!)
I follow The Edgy Veg on Facebook. I love her style – her edge! How appropriate 😉 But don't fear the cooking; there's nothing complicated about the recipes. You'll absolutely love 'em.
Who doesn't love Isa Chandra Moskowitz or her cookbooks?! Back in the day, The Post Punk Kitchen creator used to do a regular video series. Recently, Breville has teamed up with the famous vegan cook to create a series of videos, which we will happily watch instead. Long Live Isa!
There are several vegan cooking shows that have picked up syndication in a few areas. You'll have to check your local tv provider, of course, but if you're one of the lucky ones that has access to these channels, don't miss Laura Theodore of The Jazzy Vegetarian (who also has a wonderfully jazzy podcast!), Christina Pirello's new show "Christina", and the vegan star-studded Vegan Mashup on Delicious TV!
Hilarious, a tad naughty, and rockin' the kitchen glam-style, vegan drag queen Honey LaBronx will entertain you and your taste buds!
I'm not sure how anyone can top a vegan drag queen cooking show, so I'm going to leave it at that. Remember, if I missed any shows, share them below so we can all tune in and continue spreading the word that vegan cooking is easy, accessible, and everywhere! 🙂


text: Besides some benchmarks, CNET's review of the Psystar Open Computer doesn't really tell us anything new that we didn't already know before. It's definitely fast for the price, especially compared with the tiny Mac Mini. However, it's missing stuff like iLife, Bluetooth, an IR receiver, DVD burning and the ability to update your computer. If you're fine with using this one particular version of Leopard for all eternity, the Open Computer looks like a decent deal for the money on paper. But as we pointed out yesterday, there are too many reasons why you shouldn't buy this to justify giving them your cash. [CNET]

Singing Star Of All-Black Cowboy Movies, Herb Jeffries, Dies
He was known as the Bronze Buckaroo. Hollywood's first Black singing cowboy Herb Jeffries.
BLOCK: He starred in movies including "Harlem on the Prairie" and "Harlem Rides the Range." And he had a storied career as a jazz singer touring with Earl "Fatha" Hines and Duke Ellington, with whom he had his biggest hit, the song "Flamingo".
HERB JEFFRIES: (Singing) Flamingo, like a flame in the sky.
BLOCK: Herb Jeffries died yesterday at the age of 100. For the last 70 years, Raymond Strait counted Jeffries among his friends and worked with him on his memoir. Strait told me that Jeffries got the idea for an all-black Western after a young boy told him his friends wouldn't let him be a cowboy while they played because he wasn't white.
RAYMOND STRAIT: There were no black heroes for these young kids. And, you know, Herb was not completely black. His father was Sicilian, his mother was Irish - blonde hair, blue-eyed Irish. And when he came to California, he went into this studio, he told the guy his idea of the singing cowboy that was black, that the black children and the Asians and the Mexicans, they could all have someone they could relate to. So they set out to look for a star. And they found people who could ride horses and shoot guns and sing, but none could do the same thing. Well, Herb was able to do all three and that's how he became the Bronze Buckaroo.
BLOCK: I'm curious if he always self-identified as black because he was very light-skinned.
STRAIT: Herb never identified with any ethnicity. Herb was a citizen of the world and he considered himself a person of the world. I don't think Herb ever spent a day whether he thought he was black or white.
BLOCK: Except he did decide to become the first black singing cowboy right?
STRAIT: Well, he did that because it was economically feasible and it served the purpose that he had in mind - to provide something for these children of color that they could identify with in the movies.
BLOCK: He - in these movies he's wearing a white Stetson, he's dressed all in black and I've read that he darkened his complexion to look darker.
STRAIT: Well, they didn't think he was dark enough, so what they did is they sent him over to Max Factor, I think he said it was Max Factor number 34 that they put on him to make him look darker.
BLOCK: You know, his time as a musician, singing with Earl "Fatha" Hines and then with Duke Ellington must've been fascinating. He had a huge hit with the Duke Ellington Orchestra, "Flamingo".
STRAIT: Oh, yes, well, "Flamingo" is one of the greatest recordings ever. You know, it sold something like 14 million before anybody was selling 14 million.
BLOCK: What did he tell you about that, that huge hit, about "Flamingo?"
STRAIT: "Flamingo" was an accident. It's very funny. Duke was recording that day in Chicago and Herb was at the hotel. He wasn't recording that day. And the guy who wrote "Flamingo" came in with the song. And Duke liked the song, but he was going to record it with an instrumental. He said, no, I want Herb Jeffries to sing this. So Herb gets a call at the hotel - Mr. Jeffries we've got three minutes of recording time left, you want to get down here, we can do it. So Herb got in the cab and went down there. And he went through it once with Strayhorn and then they recorded it. And that's the beginning of the first recording of "Flamingo."
BLOCK: Fourteen million copies?
STRAIT: Absolutely.
BLOCK: When you were working with Herb Jeffries on his memoir, what was the most fascinating thing that you learned about him?
STRAIT: His acceptance of other people. I never heard him ever say anything bad about anyone. Never. He always found good in people. That was one thing about Herb - and I'm not just buttering the bread here because he's gone - that's who Herb Jeffries was.
BLOCK: Wow. Well, Mr. Strait, thanks so much for helping us remember Herb Jeffries today.
STRAIT: You're sure welcome.
BLOCK: That's Raymond Strait remembering his friend Herb Jeffries, Hollywood's first Black singing cowboy. Jeffries died yesterday he was 100.
DOOLEY WILSON: (Singing) You must remember this...
BLOCK: You're listening to ALL THINGS CONSIDERED.

Alice, thanks for joining the group and thanks for the discussion. I've not heard of this book, but imo, older traditions can be hit or miss. Sometimes there is some wisdom there, but sometimes they are just bad ideas passed on from generation to generation.
Actually, regarding the grains: Grains are getting a bad rap these days, and it may be well-deserved. Looks like they are likely contributors to the diseases of civilization.
Hi Dallas,
Thanks for the reply. I agree with you regarding traditions. They can be sometimes hit and miss. I think the premise of Nourishing Traditions is based in the idea that Indigenous groups, being very isolated from other influence for a very long time – 700 years or more, and so were more connected with a natural food for humans. As opposed to the highly refined and processed foods we get today.
We seem to have had 3 major stages. Hunter / Gatherer – the palaeo diet of meat, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, veg and fruit when in season. The agricultural diet – with the introduction of grains and farming and a sedentary lifestyle; and then the modern highly refined, pasteurised and processed food diet.
If we think of diet in terms of evolution, then we can see that just because our diets have changed so much, it doesn't necessarily mean that our evolution has kept up.
Grains are quite tough to digest, having much longer protein chains, and also lots of naturally evolved defences against being eaten, such as poisons and binders that lock away minerals.
The hunter / gatherer and agricultural traditions of food fermentation did much too assist us to digest these complex foods. Fermentation unlocks mineral binders, breaks down long protein chains, generates additional vitamins and enzymes, and provides much beneficial gut flora to assist with the digestion and assimilation of nutrition.
With the modern introduction of pasteurisation, refining and processing our foods, we have lost touch with these traditions of fermentation.
So the emphasise in this book is not so much on flavour, taste or style – but about reconnecting us with our human roots, and with the foods that we have evolved to eat.
Alice :)
Thanks for the reply, Alice.
The hunter / gatherer and agricultural traditions of food fermentation did much too assist us to digest these complex foods. Fermentation unlocks mineral binders, breaks down long protein chains, generates additional vitamins and enzymes, and provides much beneficial gut flora to assist with the digestion and assimilation of nutrition.
Yes, it seems to me I read something like this in reference to tempeh and the fermentation of soy beans. Soy is not supposed to be great for you, as I understand it. And men are warned about it because it contains a pseudo-estrogen chemical. However, cooked green soy beans are very tasty, but I've stopped eating them.
Hi Dejah,
If you are interested in these ideas, I recommend the book that initiated the cook book. Physical and Nutritional Degeneration by Weston A Price. The book is a catalogue of the groups he visited and notes about findings he had. It's quite an intriguing read. Although it is a lot to get through and after a while it get's a little repetitive, as he goes through each group and finds similar things, but he does find a couple of new things in each group also. There are lots of pictures in the book demonstrating his findings. From a science research perspective I'm not a good judge, as I'm mainly in the arts - but from my lay persons perspective it was a good investigation with very interesting results - and well worth the read in our modernised pasteurised, highly refined and processed world of food.
The Weston A Price foundation has a web site, with lots of recipes on it and information related to his work. I'm sad to say though that unfortunately Sally Fallon and others who are involved with the foundation are either God believers or supernatural believers of other sorts - I'm not sure if faith healing comes into, but I get their Wise traditions journal - which on the whole has some interesting articles; but I feel totally bewildered about what at least one of the board members has to contribute - his introductory speech just sounds like a rambling fantasy fairy story! Which is upsetting because I really value Weston Price's work as an honest and science based investigation. On the up side and fortunately for us, the recipe book 'Nourishing Traditions', by Sally Fallon - although having some references to belief in God, doesn't let God affect the principles of what was discovered by Price. So the recipe content is great and from my understanding very much in line with the information sort by Price from long term isolated Indigenous groups regarding their food preparation techniques.
Alice :)
Oh, and another book that is very interesting about how our gut flora effects our ability to digest and absorb nutrition and I highly recommend - and this author doesn't express any supernatural belief - which is refreshing - 'Gut and Psychology Syndrome' by Dr Natasha Campbell-McBride. Her work ties in very will with Price's work and they come to similar conclusions about what humans need for optimal bio-chemistry. She also has a web site based in the UK. She is a medical doctor with additional education in psychology and nutrition. Her book goes into much detail about our bio-chemistry and it's relationship to our immune function and our digestion and assimilation of food.
Alice :)
Hi Dallas,
Nourishing Traditions I think avoids all soy products. I read a book about soy a few years ago and stopped eating it at all – it was scary. It's a really low quality easy to grow crop – a bit like potatoes. A bit of fermented soy such as soy sauce or a small amount of property fermented tempeh might be alright.
But I reckon the way it's promoted as a health food is shocking – it's no more a health food than a potato. Plus the issue you bring up of pseudo-estrogens. And they have questionable techniques of processing it into the variety of foods they do – soya lecithin is in almost every processed food – I avoid it like the plague.
