The same players play offense and defense and no the effort is not there.
March 16th, 2013 at 11:54 AM ^
The only time I've really seen this team play with effort on the defensive end for a whole game was the MSU game at home, and voila, held them to 57 pts the entire game, let alone the 51 in the second half by Wisconsin yesterday.
Also gotta take GR3 out of the game, or take Nik out and move GR3 to the 3 spot. I'm tired of watching him get worked by bigger guys on the defensive end (not entirely his fault) but then do nothing to take advantage of his offensive skill set and athleticism on the offensive end against these bigger more lumbering players. It's extremely frustrating to watch.
March 16th, 2013 at 11:58 AM ^
When I said that we need to play 2 bigs and gr3 at the 3 in january i was chastized......I am tired of being undersized, that sounds bad......anyways back on topic......It is just hard to get freshman to play 40 minutes of defense, let alone freshman who arent great defenders in the first place. 1-3-1 zone the majority of the tourney?? I dont know I get dumber every time I watch this team I think.
March 16th, 2013 at 12:08 PM ^
This, in theory, is a great idea - if only for a handful of minutes at a time to mix things up. Two things to consider, though:
(1) GRIII has completely lost his outside shot. He was regularly knocking down 3-pointers and mid-range shots early in the year. That hasn't happened in recent weeks. Even when Stauskas isn't hitting, his mere presence on the perimenter makes opposing defenses react.
(2) Can GRIII guard quicker wings? I think so, but it's still an unknown commodity. Stauskus has struggled against 2 guards and wings, too, so maybe this is a moot point.
I really like JB as a coach, and am not standing on the ledge like many other UM fans after the recent spate of losses. But I have to admit that I didn't enjoy watching Evans manhandle GRIII on the block repeatedly in the 2nd half. I think Horford or Morgan might have been a better matchup there. If GRIII's offensive game is on, then I'm not complaining. If his offensive game is not on, I would opt for the better defender against a guy who's killing you with his post game.
March 16th, 2013 at 12:40 PM ^
It's true that he was getting manhandled in the post, but my primary thought during that stretch of the game was "damn it, it's too easy to feed the post when you aren't getting any effective pressure on the ball."
I spent my Fridays this winter watching a high school team that was horribly undersized--only had one player over 6'2", and he was a thin, inexperienced 6'4" kid who was giving up about 50 pounds to everybody he had to defend. Most of the time they were playing four guards and a 6'2" center and they'd be giving up at least four inches at just about every spot on the floor.
One-on-one situations on the block were death; they won most of their games anyway, because they pressured the ball so hard on the perimeter. It wasn't easy to get the ball to the low post and when the other team did it was often with a pass that pulled the post man off the block, or he'd field it low and get into trouble with a quick double team. Sometimes it was a matchup zone, sometimes it was just really aggressive man, but the principle was always "harass the ball hard on the perimeter or we get killed down low."
There's no one answer here. You can try to get better post defenders on the floor, or you can look to put pressure on them somewhere else.
Well-stated. Team defense is team defense, and pressure "D" by the smalls certainly helps the bigs down low. Wisconsin thrives on team defense, and they do it with an athletic deficit against most B1G teams.
is never going to have a lock down defense, it is simply not what he stresses. I don't think Michigan has all that bad on ball defenders, at times they can be disruptive up top and there certainly is athleticism on this team. This team is, by design, a team where the best defense is a good offense. The problem is that the offense is just not working right now. They are turnover prone in transition and threes are not falling on a regular basis. You take those two things away from this team and there is not much there. I think that you are going to find that a lot with Beilien's teams. I think at some question becomes is it OK. Is it OK to have a supremely talented team who plays a style of basketball that will struggle with in conference play, but be capable of winning six in a row every year once the dance begins. The proof is going to be in the pudding. This team needs to make some noise in the tourney or I think the question becomes is this the staff to take the team to the next level. I don't know the answer to that right now.
I've been on the 'play 2 bigs' bandwagon for a long time.Along with the obvious rebounding advantage, it also gives opponents a matchup problem with THJ.I believe the main reason Coach B doesn't do it is because it means a big has to play on the wing.Coach B is an offensive minded coach,he recruits that way and makes substitutions based more on off. than def.and fails to make def adjustments during games (no adjustment vs Zeller last Sunday was the most egregious example)
March 16th, 2013 at 11:39 AM ^
it's a mentality. These guys don't have it .. . It could be youth. But the chicks dig scars attitude is absent from this squad. . . This could be the year we could really have used Novak and Douglass. . .
March 16th, 2013 at 11:48 AM ^
Where exactly would we use Stu? At the 1 instead of Burke? At the 2 instead of THJ? Novak, yes, would love to have at the 4 being spelled by GR3. But Stu? Chicks did not dig Stu's scars.
March 16th, 2013 at 12:03 PM ^
Um yes because Stu could play DEFENSE. put him at the 2 and put thj at the 3. Or even put him at the 3 in place of stauskas.
March 16th, 2013 at 12:13 PM ^
Stu was an excellent defender, but last year's version of Stu was a senior who learned to play great defense over the course of 4 years. I don't think I would have labeled him as a defensive stalwart during his freshman year.
Your point is taken, though. It would be great to have a defensive-minded perimeter player.
You, sir, just hit the nail on the head. Our worst defenders are freshman. How long did it take Stu to become the best on-ball defender on the team? Exactly. Not in 30 games. Nik is slow. We knew that when he signed. And GRIII seldoms goes all out on the defensive end. These traits aren't going away in a single season.
March 16th, 2013 at 11:45 AM ^
in that sentence about Tom Brady and Michael Jordan. But here's my $.02
I'm way more of a believer in the "we're young" camp than the "we have no heart" camp. If you look at GR3, he's being asked to guard players that are bigger than him for probably the first time in his life. Watching him, he doesn't look strong enough to body them up, and he also just hasn't had time to develop that part of his game. It's takes a very different game to defend the perimeter than it does to defend down low. Give him time to bulk up this offseason and gain some defensive bball IQ points.
With Stauskas, I think he also needs to hit the weight-room. Just because he's "more than just a shooter," it doesn't mean that he is very athletic. He isn't quick enough to get around screens and stay with teams' quick slashers. So for him too I say hit the weights and work on foot speed.
March 16th, 2013 at 12:33 PM ^
Youth, no matter how talented, can't always trump seasoned veterans.
Go down to the Y and watch the old dudes take it to the high flying high school kids (extreme example I know).
Not only is there teamwork and gel on offense but a lot on defense and the best way to solidify any team into a truly solid one is time.
May be another horrible example but I look at my younger brother's AYBT (form of AAU) basketball team. Most of their tournaments as freshmen/sophomores they were playing against juniors and seniors. Many times their tallest guy would be the other team's shortest starter but at the end of the game my brother's team would be up comfortably. They started playing together in the 5th grade so by that time they were all in sync.
Last year's Michigan team was less talented overall than this year but they had senior leadership from guys that were in the program for 4 years. The game slows down as you get older which could be seen yesterday as Wisconsin's older team seemed to be able to run at half speed and take out Michigan's youthful team running full pace all game.
I would say Mattison's defense was comprised with a lot of guys that got playing time early on in their careers so he wasn't starting over like Rich chose to do. This has helped the football transition. Basketball has transitioned which is why I think it's just lack of upperclassmen running the court. THJ is about it. Burke does it out of necessity but being forced (probably a harsh word to use) into that position two years in isn't quite as effective as a player 4 years in that has gone through the entire process and comes out hardened.
as much as they could ... or much really. Tied last year for Big championship ... that is it. Out quicky in Big and NCAA. Underachievers because no one is committed to the D... but we have alot of NBA talent. Right?
Who is going to step up and improve on D next year? Anyone?
UM hockey is on tonight. Red will tell you D and heart wins championships. The bball team has a long was to go. Sorry. That # one rank got to their heads and they never recovered.
March 16th, 2013 at 11:41 AM ^
Jesus. If it was a GERG defense we would be sitting at .500.
winning percentage w/ GERG as DC?
Me neither.
Too bad the folks at USA Basketball don't know as much about basketball as some of the posters here.
March 16th, 2013 at 11:42 AM ^
against teams wth physical big guys, is Gerg's 3-3-5, to this basketball team. More zone defense would be this teams 4-3 defense (relatively speaking). Must be a WVU thing. Belien is starting to look about as stubborn as Rich Rod, making in game adjustments.....
March 16th, 2013 at 11:51 AM ^
That's how I see it too. The problem we have, IMO, is that our HC fancies himself a defensive expert (father of 1-3-1 popularization) so I dont think HE thinks he needs a defensive expert. The better analogy, again IMO, for the OP would be an Offensive Coordinator for RR cause the Spread n Shred had "hit the hall" offensively.
For reasons I simply cannot fathom Beilein REFUSES to even try a zone defense no matter how badly the man to man is working. For a guy who is always spoken about in revered tones when the subject of zone defenses is brought up (as recently as yesterday I might add) he doesn't seem to believe it anymore.
I'm baffled. There isn't a soul watching M play over the past month that cant see that we're struggling mightily on D and yet we cling to the man to man like it's the Holy Grail. There must be a reason but it sure escapes me.
March 16th, 2013 at 11:54 AM ^
Good call man. We should play zone against a team that has at least 3 shooters on the floor at all times.
March 16th, 2013 at 12:04 PM ^
Not to mention they have switched to zone a few times over the past few games.
Too many opinions, not enough knowledge. It's hard to even talk basketball with the knee jerk reactions of this fan base.
March 16th, 2013 at 12:24 PM ^
There isn't a soul watching M play over the past month that cant see that we're struggling mightily on D and yet we cling to the man to man like it's the Holy Grail. There must be a reason but it sure escapes me.
We have played some zone. When we've done so, we generally haven't any more success than in man. There's no magic bullet here. We aren't very talented defensively. That might change in the future, as some of the guys hit the weights, study film, etc., but that's where we are now.
March 16th, 2013 at 12:17 PM ^
For reasons I simply cannot fathom Beilein REFUSES to even try a zone defense no matter how badly the man to man is working.
There's no reason whatsoever to be baffled by this. Beilein has stated on more than one occasion that he hasn't been using zone defenses in games because when they try it in practice, the team doesn't execute it well. It's as simple as that.
March 16th, 2013 at 12:23 PM ^
I also believe Beilein said sometime in the middle of the season that his zone defense is something he likes to implement all-or-nothing at he beginning of the off-season. To me it seems like he saw his team on paper and predicted that their talents would be best used going with a Man defense. It hasn't worked out, but it's impossible to say whether or not his zone defense would work any better. This team has been giving up 3's like they're charity all season, and I doubt zone defense would have helped matters in that regard.
March 16th, 2013 at 11:59 AM ^
overachieved the last two years by playing great D, despite having minimal offensive firepower. The bandwagon fan climbs up, surveys the landscape, and weighs in (on people with more talent and brains than they ever have). "They're p*ssies," he declares, "Beilein can't coach D." Then he sinks back to sleep.
March 16th, 2013 at 12:21 PM ^
It's the Dunning Kruger effect (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunning_Kruger) in full bloom
The two years before the current season, Michigan was even worse in defensive efficiency. Last year, they came in at 176th, and the year before they were 140th. They were 135th in opponent FG% last year, and 106th the year before.
So before you go ripping people for saying "dumb" things, try doing 3 minutes of research.
March 16th, 2013 at 11:44 AM ^
Hate to say it, but if you saw the same first half of the Wiscy game that I saw, our offensive production was, to put it kindly, inconsistent.
March 16th, 2013 at 11:45 AM ^
Bench Glen. Start Mitch and Morgan
March 16th, 2013 at 11:49 AM ^
I don't see any physical limitations from the players as a reason to be so poor defensively. Beilein plays smallish line-ups when GRIII is considered a 4 and Morgan a 5. I see no reason McGary shouldn't develop in to being able to guard any 5. GRIII should be able to handle any 3. THJ should be able to handle any 2. Burke could have trouble with bigger 1's but should be fine off of the dribble and on the perimeter. Physically, Michigan has the ability to have a solid defense. I just don't see the mentality. I think McGary will be a good defender but he still has a lot to learn. I think he has a nastiness about him though. I don't see it with GRIII, THJ, Burke, or Stauskas. I think guys are frustrated that Burke dominates the ball so much. They lose focus because they aren't getting enough touches or opportunities to score. This shouldn't be an excuse not to give maximum effort defensively but I do think that is part of what is happening. Aside from poor rebounding, the defense played well for much of the MSU and IU home games. I believe this was due to the team playing with maximum effort and focus. Coaching deserves some of the blame for the inconsistency and mostly poor defense as the norm. However, I think they are coaching it and emphasizing it. I question the buy in of our players. I think they all want to shoot a lot and score a lot and win with flash. I would love to see Beilein recruit some guys with a nasty streak. I feel that he might start to look like a better defensive coach as a result.
March 16th, 2013 at 11:53 AM ^
There is really one issue on defense. The 5 sucks at defending the on ball screen. The 5 sticks with the guard too long which forces the rest of the defense to rotate and the offense takes advantage. Often we have a hand in the face and they just hit tough shots.
March 16th, 2013 at 12:12 PM ^
That's not the only issue. Hardaway and Stauskas are shaky on-the-ball defenders and frequently allow penetration, while GR III is weak at defending the post.
March 16th, 2013 at 12:24 PM ^
which lies with the wings. Stauskas has gotten better, but GRIII is out of position, often guarding bigger guys, and still learning. Clubbing a freshman with his talent and promise over the head in imaginary fashion on the internet seems to get a lot of people off, but it really doesn't do much.
That isn't poor execution, that's by design. Whether it's effective or not is an empirical question, but McGary and Morgan are doing what they're taught.
Anybody have stats on our defensive efficiency vs. ball screens as opposed to other types of sets? It doesn't seem to me that they've been a particular problem, but I could be wrong.
March 16th, 2013 at 11:56 AM ^
Michigan needs the fab five to talk to these youngsters. Play with a nasty streak and swag.
March 16th, 2013 at 12:03 PM ^
So to sum up the board the last 2 days.....the team sucks at defense, doesn't try hard, can't rebound, has no heart and is poorly coached.
So explain what the team expectation would be if we had those things?
Also, is Beilien the greatest recruiter in the history of basketball considering he just rolls the ball out and let's all these quitters just loaf around the court?
If someone complains about the offense can we just simply say..Michigan is #2 in the country in offensive efficiency!!!! I understand the defensive concerns. Certainly a problem, but the morons on the radio complaining about Beiliens offense and all we do is jack up 3's is just too much.
March 16th, 2013 at 12:03 PM ^
If this were a GERG level defense, they would be giving up 100 a game.
i think one of the posters may have hit on a solution-we should try a 3-3-5. Maybe if we had eleven guys on the floor, we could get an occasional stop. I realize there would be a problem getting enough touches for everyone on the offensive side of the floor but it's worth a shot.
March 16th, 2013 at 12:04 PM ^
I don't think this team is as bad on defense as a lot of people think. Part of it is that a lot of teams are having streaks against Michigan where they throw up contested shots at the end of the clock and they fall, not to mention hitting every remotely open shot. I'm just happy that opponents see Michigan as a team they have to make a super-human effort against; it seems like it's been forever since that happened.
Despite the whining in an earlier, ill-fated thread, this is still a young team. It's leader is only a sophomore, and five freshmen are getting playing time. I'm still happy with where this team is. They were one decent break away from being tied for first place this year.
Besides, if the Wolverines make it to the second week of the NCAA Tournament, many of the same people who are complaining about the team now will be posting about how great they are.
March 16th, 2013 at 12:10 PM ^
Is an idea that could help with an inexperienced team like ours. Zone in general is something I think we need to try more. Syracuse is one example of a team that plays a superior zone defense.
March 16th, 2013 at 12:15 PM ^
The few times we have tried the 1-3-1 this year we've been torched. Tried it briefly yesterday and it was "ok".
GRIII and Stauskas get beat a lot. Doesn't matter if we are man or zone, the defense needs to rotate and ours doesn't.
March 16th, 2013 at 12:27 PM ^
I would have liked to seen a starting line up, Trey Burke, THJ, GR3 (at the 3 spot), J Mo, and Mitch "Monster" McGary with Nick Stauskas being that shooter/scorer spark off the bench. That way you have GR3 in a position more suitable for his size and strength along with J Mo who is the best defensive player and understands where guys have to be on the floor. In hindsight its looks to me that, that would have been a more productive line up as far as grabbing rebounds and defensively though the offense may have suffered a bit in some games. It may be to late to tweek the line up in that manner and of course as the saying goes hindsight is 20/20.

After a proper teardown, iFixit concludes that the new MacBook Pro has no user-serviceable parts at all, which some think is a really bad thing. I honestly don't know - I mean, my ZenBook isn't particularly user-serviceable either, and my smartphones, tablets, and whatnot are pretty much entirely soldered together as well. What do you guys make of this?

RE[3]: should be made clearer
by devnet on Thu 14th Jun 2012 11:39 UTC in reply to "RE[2]: should be made clearer"
It's odd then that everyone drives a high end car...wait, no they don't. But when it comes to Apples/Macs EVERYONE has it. So I brought the car comparison in for serviceability and opened that door but serviceability is where it ends. Not everyone drives a high end car in the real world but EVERYONE shells out 2 grand plus for a Macbook Pro.
I wonder how much of our plastic debt in the USA is owed to Apple? Heck, I'd buy Apple if it were affordable...I like Mac OSX...it's very nice. If they made nice laptops like the one I just got for 800 bucks (i7, 6gb ram+, 750gb hd) I'd spring.

The district council has been shortlisted for a national award recognising its approach to affordable housing.
Derbyshire Dales District Council has been shortlisted in the 'Strategic Local Authority of the Year' category in the
UK Housing Awards 2014.
Leader Councillor Lewis Rose said: "The good news is that in these financially challenging times we are better than most at securing grant funding for the benefit of our residents.
"We are delighted to have won £17.5million new housing investment in a government programme to deliver 164 homes in 2014/15, and in the past year we have enabled development of 68 new affordable homes while gaining planning consent for a further 63.
"What's more, a hardship fund introduced for the most vulnerable in the Dales has prevented 725 households from becoming homeless through direct intervention by partner agencies that we fund. We're also proud to have supported 117 vulnerable people through our innovative Escape Project."
The authority has recently put in place measures to support people affected by welfare reform. It has managed debt totalling £604,333 between April and September last year through its debt advice service, focusing on social housing tenants affected by welfare reform and has ensured new a council tax benefit scheme lessens the burden on low income households.
The UK Housing Awards are organised by the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) and Inside Housing magazine. Now in their eighteenth year, this year's awards attracted more than 250 entries from all over the UK. The winners will be revealed at a ceremony in London on April 29.
CIH chief executive Grainia Long said: "We all have to do more with less and there is always room for improvement when it comes to providing the best services for residents."

Mexico, Colima, Catholic Church Records (FamilySearch Historical Records)
|This article describes a collection of historical records scheduled to become available at FamilySearch.org.
Foreign Language Title
Registros Parroquiales de la Iglesia Católica en el Estado de Colima, México.
Collection Time Period
This collection of the Catholic Church records of the State of Colima, Mexico covers the years of 1707-1969.
Record History
In 1797, the parishes of the then province of Colima, were part of the Bishopric of Guadalajara. In December of 1881 the Diocese of Colima was established, with 13 parishes namely Almoloyán, Colima, Cuautitlán, Ejutla, Jilotlán, Pihuamo, Purificación, Tecalitlán, Tecomán, Tomatlán, Tonila, Tuxcacuesco, and Zapotitlán, covering a total of about 141,742 inhabitants. Parishes are local congregations that may include smaller villages within their boundaries. Only authorized clergymen perform the baptisms, marriages, deaths, and other ordinances in their parish jurisdiction. Each one creates records in their own style following a common format. The registers are kept in the parish archive and a copy is sent later to the Diocese Archive. The collection at the Family History Library was acquired directly from each of the individual parishes. This collection covers the Catholic parishes in the state of Colima, in which the majority of the population was Roman Catholic. It wasn't until the late 19th century that other religious groups began to organize in Mexico. These records cover the Church parishes of the localities of Villa de Alvarez, Cuauhtémoc, Manzanillo, Colima, Tecomán, Coquimatlán, Comala, Minatitlán, Ixtlahuacán, Suchitlán, and Almoloyán.
Why This Record Was Created
Catholic Church parish registers were created to record the church sacraments of baptism, confirmation, and marriage, as well as to record deaths, burials, and other items of interest to the Church.
Record Reliability
Catholic Church parish registers are the primary source for baptisms, death, and marriage records in Mexico prior to 1859. After 1859 parish records can be used as another source verifying information found in civil registers.
Record DescriptionSeparate books were kept for baptisms, confirmations, marriage information documents, marriages, and burials. However, in some parishes with a small population the records were kept all in one book. The entries were normally made in chronological order. Confirmations may be found included with baptisms or marriages. Similarly, marriage information documents may have been included with marriages. Some records, especially the earlier ones, have watermark or other damage.
Record Content
Some key genealogical information found in the Colima Catholic Church parish registers are:
- Date of baptism, which sometimes includes the date of birth also, confirmation, marriage, death and/or burial
- Event place, which could be the parish or the city, sometimes the place of birth in baptisms
- Names of principal, parents, grandparents, spouses, godparents, witnesses, and other relatives
- Age of principal or couple in the case of marriages
- Gender of principal in baptisms
- Place of origin and residence of principals and sometimes of parents or others
- Legitimacy of principals
- Social class or race in entries prior to 1820
- Civil status of principals and sometimes of parents or others
- Cause of death
How to Use the Record
In most cases, Mexican Catholic parish registers are the only record to identify individuals, parents, and spouses before 1859 when the civil registration was created. After this date, civil authorities began registering vital statistics, which by law includes people of all religions. The information in civil sources confirms and supplements the information in church records. For instance, the parish registers may list the godparents while the civil records may list the grandparents. It is recommended to search both the parish and civil records after 1860.

Naturopathic medicine integrates alternative medical practicessuch as botanical medicine, homeopathy, acupuncture, and oriental medicinewith modern scientific diagnostic methods and standards of care.
Naturopathic doctors are trained in conventional medical disciplines as well as in alternative approaches. They integrate this knowledge according to principles that recognize the body's inherent ability to heal itself, the importance of prevention, and the possibility of therapeutic use of nutrition to promote health and fight disease.
Naturopathy was founded in the beginning of the 20th century by a group of therapists who were followers of Sebastian Kneipp, a 19th-century proponent of the healing powers of nature. At the height of its popularity, there were more than 20 naturopathic medical schools in the United States and naturopathic physicians were licensed in most states. The practice of naturopathic medicine declined as the use of pharmaceutical drugs increased. However, in the past several decades there has been a resurgence of interest in naturopathy. Now there are over half a dozen naturopathic medical schools in North America and many States are licensing naturopathic doctors again.

"Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship to restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges to others; the Constitution of this Republic should make a special privilege for medical freedom as well as religious freedom."

Home > Health Library > Aldosterone in Urine
An aldosterone test measures the level of
aldosterone (a
hormone made by the
adrenal glands) in the urine. Aldosterone helps
sodium and
potassium levels in the body. This helps control blood
pressure and the balance of fluids and
electrolytes in the blood.
The kidney
renin normally stimulates the adrenal glands to
release aldosterone. High levels of both renin and aldosterone are normally
present when the body is trying to conserve fluid and salt (sodium). When a
tumor that makes aldosterone is present, your aldosterone level will be high
while a renin level will be low. Usually a renin activity test is done when the
aldosterone level is measured.
An aldosterone test is done to:
Eat foods with a normal amount of
sodium (2,300
mg per day) for at least 2 weeks before the test. Do
not eat foods that are very salty, such as bacon, canned soups and vegetables,
olives, bouillon, soy sauce, and salty snacks like potato chips or pretzels. A
low-salt diet can also increase aldosterone levels. Tell your doctor if you are
on a low-salt food plan.
Do not eat natural black licorice for at
least 2 weeks before an aldosterone test.
Many medicines may
change the results of this test. Be sure to tell your doctor about all the
nonprescription and prescription medicines you take.
You may be asked to stop taking some medicines for about 2 weeks before the
test. These include hormones (such as progesterone and
diuretics, and many medicines used to treat high blood
pressure, especially spironolactone (Aldactone) and eplerenone (Inspra).
Talk to your doctor about any concerns you have regarding the need for
the test, its risks, how it will be done, or what the results will mean. To
help you understand the importance of this test, fill out the
medical test information form(What is a PDF document?).
There is no pain while collecting a
24-hour urine sample.
There is no chance for problems while collecting

An aldosterone test measures the level
of aldosterone (a
hormone made by the
adrenal glands) in the urine.
The normal values listed here-called a reference range-are just a guide. These ranges vary from lab to lab, and your lab may have a different range for what's normal. Your lab report should contain the range your lab uses. Also, your doctor will evaluate your results based on your health and other factors. This means that a value that falls outside the normal values listed here may still be normal for you or your lab.
micrograms (mcg) or 6-72
nanomoles (nmol)
aldosterone levels can be caused by:
Symptoms of high aldosterone include
high blood pressure, muscle cramps and weakness,
numbness or tingling in the hands, and low levels of potassium in the
aldosterone levels can be caused by:

Thanks so much for your thoughts and for voicing your opinion regarding the recent changes at SPIRIT 105.3. Even though we are not always able to respond to every comment, please know that we are paying attention to what you are saying! As a listener, you are the most important part of the SPIRIT family, and your opinion is truly important to us!
Change can be hard even when the Lord directs it. Often during times of change, speculation and rumors come about the reasons behind the change. Since we consider you a part of the family, we want to make sure you know about everything that God is doing with this ministry, even the "behind the scenes" stuff. Over the past few months, we've had to say "goodbye" to several team members, like Scott and Sam, Tom (who is still with us, but not currently on the air), and most recently Matt Case. While each person has left the station for different reasons, and we are genuinely sorry to see each go, we rejoice with them in the knowledge that they are fulfilling what God has in store for them in this season of their lives.
Thankfully, when God directs a change in our life, it is most often to allow something new to enter in, and we are so thankful that He has been faithful to SPIRIT 105.3 in this way! We hope that you will help us welcome Paul Fredricks to the on air team. You will be hearing Paul on the weekends and other times, too. We are also really excited about Ana Kelly joining SPIRIT to 'ride home' with you every afternoon from 2 til 7. Both Paul and Ana are really excited to be a part of the SPIRIT family, and look forward to getting to know you better in the days ahead.
Just like family members commit to praying for each other, we really hope that you might be willing to pray for the work here and especially our new team members in the days ahead. That really is the most important gift you could give to the ministry! Also, we invite your continued feedback! If you have additional questions about the changes here, or if I can serve you in any other way, please don't hesitate to give me a call, at 206-289-7857. I will do my best to respond as promptly as I can.
In Him,
Matt Stockman, Program Director

Chuck Norris gives hope to coffee lovers
Breaks down recent studies on healthiness of Java
Chuck, I heard that there's a new, large study that links the increase of coffee drinking with premature deaths. Seems to me that sipping Java is given a bad health rap and is much better for us than most know. Which side of the coffee bean do you stand on? – "Cool for Coffee" in Charleston, S.C.
I enjoy a cup of coffee as much as anyone – but not just for the taste. I, too, believe the nutritional value is being overlooked in many circles, but a word of caution for moderation is also in order.
You're right; a brand-new study published online in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings looked at 43,727 people ages 20 to 87 from 1971 to 2002. It concluded that men younger than 55 who drink more than four cups of coffee a day are 56 percent likelier to die from any cause. And women younger than 55 who drink more than four cups a day are twice as likely to die as other women in that age group.
But does that study on excess discount the health benefits of a cup or two of coffee each day?
In its August edition, the University of California, Berkeley Wellness Letter ran an excellent article titled "Coffee: Grounds for Optimism." Let me highlight some of its main points.
Coffee used to be regarded as a health hazard, but in recent years, it has joined the ranks of red wine and dark chocolate for its nutritional contributions.
Though the health professionals at UC Berkeley encourage moderation, they concur that coffee does indeed have health benefits. They also noted that "early research linking coffee or caffeine to health problems has almost always been refuted by better studies."
Caffeine is nearly synonymous with coffee, and we all know that in excess, it can cause insomnia, jitters and indigestion issues. But remember that caffeine has a purpose in the plant. It serves as a natural pesticide to ward off its predators. And recent studies have shown its beneficial nature for many of us, too, when it's consumed in moderation.
As a mild psychoactive substance, it "improves reaction time, mental acuity, alertness, and mood; wards off drowsiness; and helps people wake up and feel better in the morning," according to the UC Berkeley Wellness Letter. Moreover, it enhances aspects of sport performance and contributes to pain relievers' effects.
The newsletter calls coffee "the No. 1 source of antioxidants in the U.S.," largely because of its colossal consumption.
Nevertheless, its antioxidants are real and many. Among them are polyphenols, which can contribute to the "prevention of cardiovascular diseases, cancers and osteoporosis and suggests a role in the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases and diabetes mellitus," according to The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
Two other recent studies in that journal linked long-term coffee drinking to a reduced risk of Type 2 diabetes.
A 2012 NIH-AARP Diet & Health Study revealed that those who drank at least four cups of coffee daily were 15 percent less likely to develop colon cancer than those who didn't.
Though the overall risk for prostate cancer isn't affected, a 2011 study in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute and a 2012 study in Nutrition Journal found a reduced risk of aggressive prostate cancer in those who consumed coffee.
Two large studies in 2011 linked coffee to a decreased risk of endometrial cancer.
According to a 2011 analysis in Nurses' Health Study, drinking two to three cups of coffee daily reduces the risk of depression by 15 percent.
Two studies in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease in 2011 and 2012 revealed that older women who drank coffee were less likely to experience cognitive decline.
And according to a review paper in Experimental Neurobiology, drinking coffee helps protect against Parkinson's disease.
Though coffee may increase the risk of heart attack for people with multiple cardiovascular problems during the hour or two after drinking coffee, a 2011 Swedish study in the American Journal of Epidemiology discovered that moderate coffee drinking was "associated with a modest reduction in stroke risk."
According to a large study in The New England Journal of Medicine in 2012, people who drank at least two cups of coffee every day (regular or decaf) were 10 to 15 percent less likely to die from diabetes, a stroke, heart disease, respiratory disease, an infection or an accident.
And last week featured news from researchers at the Duke University School of Medicine who found that the caffeine from coffee and tea reduced fat in the livers of people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
Despite coffee's health benefits, however, UC Berkeley's experts are reluctant to encourage people who never have drunk coffee to drink it, largely because the risk factors remain for certain people.
We shouldn't forget that caffeine is a stimulant and, as such, should be avoided by people with certain heart or blood conditions or other health concerns.
Your health practitioner should be consulted before you make dietary changes, even changes to your beverage consumption.
Maybe a good word and reminder from Ralph Waldo Emerson is in order: "Moderation in all things, especially moderation."

It may be March and it may already be St. Patrick's Day — but it is just the right time to catch up on a December feature on a book about the Irish, written by John Shaughnessy, assistant editor of The Criterion, newspaper of the Indianapolis Archdiocese.
"I wanted to write a book that would be a tribute to Irish immigrants, like my grandparents, who came to America with their most important possessions: their dreams," Shaughnessy told Criterion editor Mike Krokos. The book was published by Corby Books in Notre Dame, Ind.
"These stories would connect with most people because most of the stories in the books are about fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives — all relationships that touch our lives," Shaughnessy added.

Celebrity Beauty Infomercial Quiz
Bella Quiz: Celebrity Infomercials
Ever since I mentioned the bizarre yet fascinating Rejuvenique Electric Face Mask, I've had infomercials on the mind. Ack!
Like a fly attracted to the allure of a bug zapper's tempting bright lights, I find these ultra cheesy (and ultra long) product pitches rather captivating, mesmerizing — addicting. Now that we know that Linda Evans sure liked to get zapped by means of an electric face mask, this got me to thinking . . .
What other celebrities have touted the benefits of beauty products — infomercial style? Take my fun quiz to find out.

Retail Trend: The In-Store Cafe
The in-store cafe concept is not a new idea, but the latest eateries to pop up are in hip shops with stylish food options to match. Shopping can be an exhausting experience, and these cafes offer a place to rest and contemplate your latest purchases.
Many of these cafes also sell the tableware that you eat on and the chairs that you sit on, so that you can experience before you make a purchase.
1. Merci in Paris is a lifestyle mecca that features three different cafes in their cavernous space.
2. Pitfield in London is best for brunching and Sunday antique shopping, but their coffee and pastries will keep you coming back seven days a week. Set alongside a mix of mid-century antiques, their cafe has a cheerful modern feel.
3. ABC Home has ABC Kitchen, which is not exactly a spot to pop into for a quick cup of coffee, but it deserves a nod for its Zagat rated food, decor, and celeb spotting.
4. Number One in Dallas is a newcomer to the retail dining scene after opening in 2012, bringing a European aesthetic to Texas.
5. Maison Midi in Los Angeles brought the Provence lifestyle to Los Angeles before it was copied by major chain stores. Dine in a French bistro setting, with a Croque Monsieur on the menu.

Entrepreneur and golf industry innovator Barney Adams is the founder of Adams Golf and the inventor of the Tight Lies fairway wood, one of the best-selling golf clubs in history. In this inspiring book, Adams shares his story of how he made it happen — from turning his concept into a reality by thinking creatively, securing funding, designing prototypes, manufacturing products, marketing and sales.
When the United States entered the 1960s, the nation was swept up in the Space Race as the United States and the Soviet Union competed for supremacy in rocket and satellite technologies. Cities across the country hoped to attract new aerospace companies, but the city leaders of Seattle launched the most ambitious campaign of all. They invited the whole world to visit the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, and more than nine million people took them up on the offer.
Bill Cotter has been an avid scholar and fan of world's fairs since his first visit to the 1964–65 New York World's Fair. His collection of vintage photographs has been featured in numerous books, including previous titles for Arcadia Publishing.

A prolific shoplifter with drug problems and 36 convictions has been given a chance by magistrates to sort himself out after he has been co-operating with the probation service.
Chesterfield magistrates' court heard on Friday, June 6, how Shaun Wragsdale, 34, of Poplar Drive, New Tupton, Chesterfield, was caught by police after stealing a steam iron from b&m bargains, at Ravenside Retail Park, and two pairs of shorts from Next.
Prosecuting solicitor Robert Carr said: "Staff saw Wragsdale and were suspicious because they know him as a shoplifter. CCTV spotted Wragsdale enter b&m and he was tracked as he walked out.
"They were suspicious he had committed an offence and people were trying to locate him with regards to another matter and they found him on Baden Powell Road. He tried to run but was caught and said he was sorry for running. The iron and shorts were recovered."
Wragsdale pleaded guilty to the two counts of theft which happened on May 13. The court heard he had just received a community order in April for another shop theft.
Defence solicitor Steve Brint said: "He has 36 convictions and 77 offences going back to 1988 and all bar one are for dishonesty and failing to comply with a community order. His shoplifting has been down to addiction to illicit substances and he has been in hospital because of drug abuse."
But Mr Brint explained Wragsdale has co-operated with a tough community order that included 11 negative drug tests and a full attendance for appointments. He added that he had committed the thefts because he owed money to drug dealers and he was facing physical harm and his benefits had been curtailed.
Magistrates praised Wragsdale's co-operation. He was given a 12 month conditional discharge and must pay £85 costs and a £15 victim surcharge.

The Documentation Project has a strict recruitment process outlined below. This process can not be deviated from in any circumstance. We have opted for this recruitment process to assure ourselves that the recruit is well informed about the Gentoo Documentation Policy and the Gentoo Coding Style. It has proven to be quite effective even though many contributors see it as a too large burden to cross.
This recruitment process is meant only for requests to the Gentoo Documentation Repository through CVS. Being listed as the maintainer or Point-Of-Contact for a certain document or range of documents is granted by a simple request to the Operational Manager or Project Lead.
No recruitment process starts without investigating the contributions done already to the Gentoo Documentation Project. The number of contributions must be large to assure a good knowledge of GuideXML, Coding Style and policy. The contribution period must be large as well to inform the contributor about the time-consuming position and pressure the application involves.
The number of contributions and period over which the contributions should be made depends on the position which the contributor solicits for. Although it is difficult to write down these measurements in numbers, the following table should give a general overview. Final decision however lays in the hands of the Operational Manager.
|Minimal Activity
|Minimal Period
An update constitutes a non-trivial update to any documentation, translation or otherwise, completely written by the contributor and committed after review by any existing documentation developer. The period is fixed - increasing the contributions does not decrease the period. Also, we don't average the contributions over time to make sure the contributor doesn't give a contribution burst, and then waits until the Phase is over.
Without this phase we can not know if the contributor understands what it takes to be a documentation developer. The validation of this activity happens through bugzilla reports.
Any request for CVS access that does not allow a development activity as written down in the aforementioned table will not be taken into account.
If you feel that you have shown sufficient amount of contributions, contact the Operational Manager of the Gentoo Documentation Project. He will ask you for your coordinates and other information, and then arrange for the next phase to be started.
During phase 2, the recruit is given read-only access to the Gentoo Documentation Repository, allowing him to generate commit-ready patches for the tree. During this period, which is roughly the same as the aforementioned table, his patches are not edited by a documentation developer anymore, but are either committed as-is or refused. The recruit is also assigned to a full-time documentation developer (the mentor) which will guide him through these last phases.
The quality of the contributions are in this phase most important - every patch that does not follow the Documentation Policy, Coding Style or other guideline that affects the document is refused.

I went to interview Peter Moores this week. He seemed more relaxed than when he was with England which is hardly surprising since he's the coach of the county champions and it was late November when the only results that matter in the bleep tests.
But even so he seemed a fraction less intense than I remember him, though no less enthusiastic. I had to wait a while for him to finish a net session (the 2012 season is five months away) and he was scampering around doing, chivvying, fixing, suggesting like the battery-powered PE teacher he's always been.
Most counties, from what I gather, focus on fitness in post/pre-season until the new new year when the bats and balls come out and everyone breaths or wheezes a sigh of relief. But Lancashire, or those that were there, were practising their cricket skills and had been for several hours by the time I got to Old Trafford in early afternoon.
You'll be able to read more about this in a forthcoming issue of The Cricketer but he interestingly and impressively self-critical about his 20-month period as England coach that ended in the night of the long emails in January 2009.
He reckons he dived in too hard and too fast with England. He was given the mandate by the ECB to make some fundamental changes, mostly to do with physical preparation and conditioning. And of course the England side of Andy Flower (appointed by Moores) is the fittest, hardest-working group ever to wear the three lions. But at the time, with some still basking in the diminishing glow of 2005, not everyone was as receptive as they might have been.
There is a fine line between instruction and inspiration and one can read between the lines of comments of various senior England players about how they appreciate "being treated like adults" in the current regime.
One has to hope that Flower is sufficiently detached to recognise when "being treated like adults" slips into laziness or complacency as happened in the last days of Duncan Fletcher and happened in Australia as the great empire crumbled.
Mostly this blog will be about cricket, or sport at least. But I can't let this Clarkson business go. I happened to be watching The One Show (rock 'n' roll lifestyle etc) when he was on and his comments were so searingly, blindingly, categorically obviously not meant to be taken seriously.
Even if you despise him for all he appears to stand for and can't help but be roused into anger, the best thing you can do is sigh and ignore. All that the teeth-grindingly, po-faced, grandstanding responses from union leaders and some panellists on Question Time is alienate the vast swathes of Middle Britain who aren't card-carrying union members but sympathise with the cause of the strikers (and also like watching Top Gear).
And on top of that you elevate Jeremy Clarkson into an even more ludicrous celebrity cult whose utterances, however nonsensical or outrageous, are somehow to be taken seriously and pored over. And on that bombshell …

Regarding the Death Penalty..
- Posts
Recently outside of my dorms, I have listened to the voices of the people in chicago, crying for help to help the case of Troy Davis. The concept of the death penalty in a democratic nation shows (in my opinion), the lack of faith and patience our nation has in an individual.
Whether one has committed a crime, or whether one is innocent, we as a nation and a union should NEVER underestimate the rights of a man. I am not saying to have faith in an individual who has committed injustice, however it is unjust to create a death penalty for an individual such as Troy Davis, or any other individual in that sense. The death penalty has become an underestimated reason to amend situations, leading our nation and society to believe in safety again.
Our nation, as well as any other country should never force a death on a living soul. Hasn't our present and past already performed enough injustice? From friendly fire to suicide, to homicide, to torture, the list goes on and on. We as a nation should have faith and be able to distinguish from the just and unjust. Let me know what you think!

Use of overall survival as the primary endpoint has decreased significantly in clinical trials of advanced lung cancer, as has the magnitude of clinically relevant improvement, a review of 200 studies showed.
Before 2000, virtually all phase III trials in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) had survival as the primary endpoint. But from 2001 to 2010, 19% of phase III trials had primary endpoints other than overall survival (P<0.001 versus prior decades), most often progression-free survival (13%), Natasha B. Leighl, MD, of the University of Toronto, and co-authors reported online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
From 1990 to 2010, the proportion of trials that had progression-free survival (PFS) as the primary endpoint increased from 0% to 13%, they noted. The proportion of trials meeting the specified primary endpoint remained stable, but the percentage of trials reporting positive results increased.
The magnitude of the survival benefit decreased over time, but the change did not achieve statistical significance, the authors wrote.
"These findings raise questions regarding the design and interpretation of phase III trials in advanced non-small cell lung cancer," they concluded. "The intention of multiphase clinical trials is to focus resources on promising agents, with each phase eliminating either toxic or minimally active agents.
"Our results suggest that we are progressively less efficient in accomplishing this task in advanced NSCLC trials."
Clinical trials in advanced NSCLC have produced first- and second-line chemotherapy and targeted agents for use in selected patients after failure of chemotherapy. However, the benefits of the treatments have been modest, the authors noted.
Growing interest in NSCLC within the oncology community and pharmaceutical industry has been accompanied by changes in trial design and interpretation, they continued. The changes have encompassed selection of primary and secondary endpoints, statistical power, and sample size.
Use of PFS as a primary endpoint has been advocated because of the growing number of patients who cross over to a different therapy after disease progression and because of the increased number of therapeutic options. Although the FDA has accepted PFS as a potential primary endpoint for drug approval in advanced NSCLC, the agency expressed reservations in doing so.
Opponents of PFS as a primary endpoint have questioned the potential for subjectivity in evaluation of the endpoint and its relationship to clinically relevant outcomes. PFS and other emerging endpoints have sparked debates about the definition of clinically meaningful benefit.
"Apart from changes in the design of clinical trials, the manner in which these trials are interpreted may be changing as well," the authors said. "An increasing willingness to interpret the results of clinical trials as positive despite extremely modest or questionable benefit of a new treatment has been previously reported."
To inform the discussion, Leighl and colleagues performed a literature review to examine changes in the design and interpretation of phase III trials in advanced NSCLC over the past 3 decades.
Initially, the authors identified 248 trials published from 1980 to 2010. After exclusion of trials that did not meet criteria of systemic therapy for advanced NSCLC, the analysis comprised 203 unique studies: 32 conducted in the 1980s, 53 in the 1990s, and 118 in the most recent decade.
Trial size increased from a median of 152 patients during the first decade of the review to 413 in trials conducted from 2001 to 2010 (P<0.001). Three-drug combinations predominated in the 1980s and doublets in the 1990s, whereas evaluation of targeted therapy emerged in the last decade.
The authors assessed change in trial interpretation by evaluating statistical significance and the characterization of a statistically significant outcome as positive or negative.
The proportion of trials demonstrating statistically significant improvement remained stable at about 30% across the 3 decades. However, the percentage of trials characterized as positive -- despite not demonstrating a significant improvement in the primary endpoint -- increased from 30% in the first decade to 53% of trials reported from 2001 to 2010 (P<0.001).
Trials were deemed positive because of improvements in secondary endpoints (N=24), asserting noninferiority in the absence of noninferiority trial design (N=26), or calling for additional studies on the basis of a numerical trend in the primary outcome (N=9).
Finally, the authors examined the magnitude of benefit that met the definition of statistically significant improvement in survival. In the subgroup of 60 trials that reported significant survival improvement, the median benefit was 3.9 months during 1981 to 1990, 2.4 months during 1991 to 2000, and 2.5 months in the most recent decade.
In an analysis of benefit that included all trials characterized as "positive," the survival benefit decreased from 3.9 months in the first decade to 2.0 months in the second and to 0.9 months in trials conducted from 2001 to 2010.
"Our findings confirm a disquieting shift in phase III trial design in advanced NSCLC," the authors concluded. "Despite the advances in design through large size and statistical power over the past 3 decades, the bar for judging clinical benefit of new agents in lung cancer appears to be falling."
The authors disclosed no relevant relationships.

Paris Saint-Germain director Leonardo has refused to rule out a move for Real Madrid attacker Cristiano Ronaldo amid ongoing rumours that the Portugal international has set his sights on a move away from the Bernabeu.
The prolific attacker made the headlines earlier this season by admitting that he was unhappy with life at the club, and a number of recent reports have suggested that he has no intention to sign a new contract with los Blancos.
"Cristiano Ronaldo? Paris Saint-Germain have become a club where anything is possible," Leonardo was quoted as saying by L'Equipe.
"However, he still has an ongoing contract with Real Madrid and we have to realise that he will not leave Madrid for just any club.
"When we are discussing a possible transfer for a player like Cristiano Ronaldo, there are only four or five clubs that can be taken into consideration. Paris Saint-Germain are one of those clubs ..."
However, Leonardo was quick to rule out a move for Barcelona star Lionel Messi as well as Premier League left-back Patrice Evra and Ashley Cole.
"[Messi] will never leave Barcelona," he stated. "With [Christophe] Jallet, Maxwell, [Gregory] van der Wiel and [Sylvain] Armand, I think we have what it takes.
"In the future, we will talk about it, but not now. Cole or Evra? No."
PSG reached the last 16 of Champions League with ease, but the former AC Milan coach went on to say that his current side are not favourites to claim the European title.
"It's certain that Barca are the favourites," he continued. "But we can also say that there are seven games until the final ..."
Zlatan Ibrahimovic has made a considerable impact since joining the club from Milan in the summer, and Leonardo says his form shows that the player is happy at the club.
"Ibra is not only a great man, he has everything. If Ibra and Thiago [Silva] were not happy here, they would not be playing this way."

Connecticut's increasingly popular wine industry appears to stand alone among U.S. wine-growing states, and not necessarily in a good way.
Our law allows as much as 75 percent of the grapes used in a "Connecticut" wine to come from outside this state — a threshold far beyond limits set by the federal government and some of the nation's biggest wine-producing states.
There's also a long-running state probe of allegations that some Connecticut-licensed wineries are ignoring even the low-ball 25-percent local-grape standard of our state law.
A few vineyard owners here believe our state needs to go back to the days when consumers drinking wine with a Connecticut label could be confident it was made mostly from grapes grown in Connecticut soil.
"I would like to see that," says Hilary Hopkins Criollo, of Hopkins Vineyard in New Preston. She argues the failure to insure that "Connecticut" wine comes from Connecticut is hurting the industry's attempt to grow here. Other winery owners disagree, calling the current state standard "adequate."
Jamie Jones, president of the Connecticut Vineyard and Winery Association and an owner of Jones Family Winery in Shelton, is worried that cheating by some state vineyards could hurt the reputation of Connecticut's other wineries. He says there are even rumors that a few unscrupulous vineyards are bringing in "shiners," an industry term for wine grown and bottled somewhere else that's simply been labeled as "Connecticut" wine.
"It's always a concern," he says. "You don't want the industry to get a black eye."
Officials at Connecticut's Department of Consumer Protection won't comment on the status of their winery investigation, which has been dragging on for more than a year. "The investigation is not complete and we can't comment on it," is the standard response from agency spokesperson Claudette Carveth.
Connecticut's current grape-content requirement is at odds with the federal standard for wines being sold across state lines.
Under the federal rule, any Connecticut winemaker who wants to sell his or her wares in other states as "Connecticut" wine would need to certify that at least three-quarters of the grapes used came from local vineyards in Connecticut.
Tom Hogue, a spokesman for the federal agency responsible for proper wine labeling, says the fed's requirement doesn't apply if the wine isn't being sold in interstate commerce, and doesn't cross any state lines.
"If it's not going outside of Connecticut, you do not need label approval from us," says Hogue. He works for the wine unit of the U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, commonly known in the wine trade as the TTB.
"States may make stricter standards if they want to," Hogue adds.
California — the nation's biggest wine-growing state — demands that any wine with "California" on its label be made only with California grapes.
Jones says other states (including wine-biggies like New York, Oregon and Washington) have similarly stringent standards. A few (like Massachusetts) apparently don't require their state wine-makers to meet any particular percentage of local grapes.
Connecticut is a rough place to grow wine grapes. In lots of areas, the soil isn't right, and there isn't all that much good agricultural land available anyway. Our winters are harsh and our growing seasons shorter than in milder climates like California, Oregon, Washington and even New York.
Wineries on Long Island's North Shore, for instance, have the benefit of the moderating waters of both the Atlantic and Long Island Sound.
Despite the difficulties, ambitious (or wine-crazy) Connecticut oenophiles have opened up 34 wineries in this state. There are now two federally recognized "viticultural areas" or appellations: the "Western Connecticut Highlands," which includes Litchfield, Fairfield, New Haven and Hartford Counties; and "Southeastern New England," which covers portions of eastern and southeastern Connecticut as well as Rhode Island and Massachusetts.
We have a "Connecticut Wine Trail" that's grown increasingly popular with local residents and tourists alike. Most wineries in this state make their money by selling their products at their own tasting rooms.
That ability to sell directly to consumers is the big draw, says Jones. "When you have to go through a liquor store, you lose part of your margin."
Connecticut originally had a requirement that at least 51 percent of a vineyard's wine had to be made with Connecticut grapes.
That changed in 2004 after investigations revealed some wineries here were unable or unwilling to comply with the law.
It turned out that the oldest winery in the state (then called "Haight Vineyard" and now the Haight-Brown Vineyard in Litchfield) was using wine "concentrate" from Chile to produce as much as 95 percent of its wine.
To make things easier, state lawmakers agreed to lower Connecticut's standard so that a wine with just 25 percent locally grown grapes could still carry that Connecticut label. To make things even easier for winemaker wannabes, a new vineyard has seven years to comply with that 25-percent local grape requirement.
Setting the bar that low isn't exactly what folks in the national wine industry expect.
"You're kidding!" was the comment from Gladys Horiuchi of the West Coast-based Wine Institute when she was told about Connecticut's 25 percent state-grape rule.
Wendell Lee, general counsel for the Institute, says he wasn't aware of any other state that set such an easy standard for a state-produced wine. "We only know of state laws and regulations that go higher [than the federal 75 percent threshold] rather than lower," he adds.
The whole U.S. system of labeling wine can be rather baffling.
"I'm a winery owner and I get confused about it," says Jones, "so you can imagine how confusing it can be for consumers."
For example, lots of Connecticut-made wines have on their labels "estate bottled" or "estate grown." Under federal rules, you can't put that there unless 100 percent of the grapes used comes from vineyards owned or "controlled" by that winery.
If you're using the name of a particular viticultural area (like Western Connecticut Highlands), those grapes had to have been grown within that particular area.
Lots of wineries in this state produce wines that they don't label as "Connecticut" or "estate," using more generic terms such as "American Table Wine" or "Premium American White Wine." Others do mention on their labels that a wine was made from grapes from California or other locations.
Established Connecticut winemakers like Jones and Hopkins Criollo say most wineries like theirs already far exceed that old 51-percent-Connecticut-grape standard, often using 100 percent grapes grown on their own land.
Hopkins Criollo says her winery has only a single wine that isn't primarily made from their own grapes, and that is clearly labeled as a non-Connecticut product.
She also acknowledges her call to return to at least the old 51 percent standard isn't popular with many Connecticut winemakers. "Some of the new wineries, and there are a lot of them, use that 25 percent (locally grown grape threshold) as their business plan," she says.
Jim Jerram, founder of Jerram Winery in New Hartford, isn't one of the newcomers but he also doesn't think increasing the state standard is a good idea. "I'm absolutely against going back to 51 percent," Jerram says, explaining that meeting percentage of local grapes would be "a struggle" for many of Connecticut's smaller wineries. "I think 25 percent is adequate," he says.
But Hopkins Criollo believes Connecticut's failure to require more locally grown wine is eventually going to hurt its reputation with wine consumers.
"I've given up worrying about what other [Connecticut winemakers] are doing," says Jones. "I'm more concerned about what we're doing, trying to raise the bar here at our winery."
Jones continues to wonder why the state investigation is taking so long. He doesn't think cheating by Connecticut winemakers "is an epidemic of a problem."
The solution, Jones argues, is simple:
"We need to get more grapes grown here."

In addition, a 1983 Special "Peace for Galilee" Fund is being undertaken simultaneously to meet the needs of the added burdens imposed upon the Jewish Agency by the War in Lebanon. The Peace for Galilee Special Fund will be used to insure the perpetuation of humanitarian services and social programs for the people of Israel during these difficult economic times. The goal of the Special Fund is $1 million. In a statement issued by Robert E. Loup, national chairman of United Jewish Appeal, and Avraham Avi- Hai, world chairman of .

This showed up in the victories of Lautenberg, a liberal, and Hecht, a conservative who had President Reagan campaigning for him last week. It also showed up in the elections of Ben Erdreich in Alabama, the grandson of one of Birmingham's first Jewish settlers, and of Norman Sisi- sky in Virginia, both of whom won upset elections against Republican Congressmen. A Possible First For A Jewish Leader Lautenberg, running in his first election, came from way behind to defeat Rep. Milicent Fenwick (R. N.J.). The 57-year-qld owner of Automatic Data Processing Company spent millions, both to win his surprise nomination in the Democratic primary and to defeat Mrs. Fenwick. He said; he had no apologies for this because he said his funds counter-balanced Fenwick's high recognition factor. Lau- . tenberg is honorary; national chairman of United Jewish Appeal and is probably the first national Jewish leader to be elected to the Senate. The 54-year-old Hecht also has close ties to the Jewish community.

The two newcomers along withMetzenbaum and Zorin- sky join four other Jews in the Senate, now evenly divided between four Republicans and four Democrats. The others are Sens. Rudy Boschwitz (R. Minn.) and Carl Levin (D. Mich.), whose terms expire in 1984, and Arlen Specter (R. Pa.) and Warren Rudman (R. N.H.).

The Other woman is also a Cali- fornian, Rep. Bobbi Fiedler, a Republican from the Los Angeles area who won her second term. In addition to Erdreich, Sisisky, Levin, and Boxer, the other Jewish newcomers are Howard Berman and Mel Levin, both Democrats from California, and Larry Smith, a Democrat from Florida.
