UCF Athletics Association attorneys aimed to discredit the medical examiner who testified complications from sickle cell trait contributed to Ereck Plancher's death.
Medical examiner Joshua Stephany told the jury Plancher's death was caused by complications from sickle cell trait. He said it is a genetic disorder that can cause red blood cells to break down organs when the body is under extreme stress.
He told the jury Plancher's sickle cell trait caused sickling, or malformation, of red blood cells. Stephany said the cells become flattened and are shaped like sickles. He said the cells become sticky and do not move easily through capillaries. Stephany said "sickle cell trait can become very harmful."
UCFAA attorneys have argued Stephany's conclusion was incorrect, and Plancher's death was caused by an undiagnosed heart condition. They contend the jury should find no one was negligent for the 19-year-old's death following an offseason UCF football workout.
Stephany said he considered whether Plancher's death was caused by a heart problem, but the medical examiner said Plancher died an hour after he first showed signs of distress and had a weak pulse for much of that time. Stephany said that would not be consistent with a "sudden instantaneous cardiac event."
UCF coach George O'Leary was scheduled to testify Wednesday in the Plancher wrongful death trial, but the Plancher family attorneys told the judge after a lunch break they did not think they could call him to the stand until Thursday.
UCFAA attorney Kevin Taylor told Circuit Judge Robert M. Evans O'Leary had a scheduling conflict and would only be available Thursday morning.
Plancher family attorney Steve Yerrid said he would do his best to call O'Leary at 8:30 a.m. Thursday and question him, but he did not want to compromise the presentation of his case. Yerrid said he understood O'Leary's coaching clinic scheduled for Thursday and Friday was important, but his clients had been waiting three years for the trial and deserved a fair chance to present their case.
After the medical examiner's testimony ran longer than expected, Yerrid told the judge there was no way he could call O'Leary in the morning. He said needed to play video highlights of athletic trainer Mary Vander Heiden before calling O'Leary.
Despite Taylor's objections, the judge ruled O'Leary may be called later on Thursday.
"I can't let his schedule dictate this trial," Evans said. "He cannot do it. We moved [the trial] from football season because football is an issue. Everyone has a busy schedule. Everyone. "
O'Leary supervised Plancher's final workout on March 18, 2008. Plancher collapsed and died after offseason conditioning drills.
UCFAA attorney Dan Shapiro cross examined the medical examiner, questioning whether he did a thorough review of Plancher's body before reaching his conclusion about the cause of Plancher's death.
Stephany said he had no experience sickle cell trait before Plancher's death. He also confirmed Plancher was the first person out of more than 1,000 autopsies whose death he determined was related to sickle cell trait.
Shapiro broke down each portion of Stephany's finding Plancher's death was caused by "dysrhythmia due to acute exertional rhabdomyolysis with sickle cell trait."
Shapiro asked Stephany about the way he studied Plancher's body to prove acute exertional rhabdomyolysis, which is muscle breakdown.
The medical examiner said there are a number of ways to determine whether muscle breakdown occurred. He said he studied myoglobin in a sample of Plancher's blood, which indicated there was muscle breakdown. Myoglobin is protein found in muscle tissue.
Stephany agreed that myoglobin in the blood increases after death. He also agreed there was no way to prove whether the myoglobin levels used to prove muscle breakdown happened before Plancher died.
Stephany said he did not use any other laboratory tests to prove the muscle breakdown, but he did use supplementary information.
During redirect by Plancher family attorneys, Stephany was asked whether sickling he found in key body systems were more than would typically occur in the body naturally after death. He agreed that his findings were based on a greater amount of abnormal red blood cells than would naturally occur after death.
Shapiro asked Stephany at length why he didn't do a serial examination of the cardiac conduction system, which UCFAA attorneys said would prove their suggestion Plancher's death was caused by a heart condition.
The medical examiner said he was aware Dr. Saroja Bharati, a cardiologist the Orange County medical examiners often consulted, recommended further study of Plancher's cardiac conduction system.
Bharati said she had never seen studies related to the cardiac conduction system and sickle cell trait, so she had interest in seeing what the conduction system showed in someone with sickle cell trait.
During Plancher family attorney's redirect questioning, Stephany said he viewed Bharati's comments as a recommendation for research purposes rather than something that needed to be reviewed to determine cause of death.
Stephany said it was a last case resort for medical examiners who cannot find a cause of death. He said he did not believe it was necessary to complete Plancher's autopsy report.
Dr. Randy Eichner, who previously worked as the team doctor at the University of Oklahoma and has since retired, has done extensive research of sickle cell trait causing sudden death in athletes. Eichner corresponded with Stephany about sickle cell trait before the medical examiner completed his autopsy report, but Stephany said it had no impact on his findings.
Eichner contacted Stephany immediately after Plancher's death and corresponded him regularly about proving sickle cell trait caused Plancher's death. Eichner was eventually hired by the Plancher family in July 2008, about four months after he first began communicating with Stephany, to serve as an expert witness on sickle cell trait.
Shapiro asked Stephany to read through the emails for the jury, noting when it appeared Eichner and Stephany collaborated to prove Plancher's death was caused by sickle cell trait. Stephany said there are times when outside experts contact the medical examiner's office, but it does not happen often.
When he was asked whether he consulted Eichner more than any other person while determining Plancher's cause of death, Stephany said he recalled speaking more with his colleagues in the medical examiner's office than Eichner. However, he agreed there was no written record of those conversations.Stephany agreed when he was asked whether Eichner's emails were "remarkably similar to what you found on your death certificate."
During redirect questioning by Plancher family attorneys, asked why Stephany referenced Eichner's articles on sickle cell trait as footnotes in the autopsy report released to the public.
Stephany responded, "I thought they were fairly easy to read for anyone requesting the autopsy report. There's not a lot of clinical terms."
The attorneys continued to clash, prompting the judge to warn them throughout the day about following court rules.
The attorneys agreed to interrupt the Stephany's testimony Wednesday morning to question Plancher family computer forensic expert Andy Swenson because he had a scheduling conflict and would not be available later in the trial.
Swenson testified he had more than 30 years experience with computer security and information technology. He stated he did a thorough search of Plancher's laptop for any references to the terms sickle, sickle cell, sickle cell anemia, sickle trait, anemia and names of UCF football coaches. Swenson said there was no record of any of those terms on Plancher's laptop besides definitions of some of the terms automatically loaded with Microsoft Word's spell check dictionary.
When he was cross examined, Swenson said he did not recall the specific dates the laptop was used but he thought it may not have been used in early 2007.
UCFAA contends Plancher first tested positive for sickle cell trait in January 2007 and was informed of his condition. Plancher family attorneys argue he did not know he had the trait.
Swenson was also asked if he researched any other computers on in labs on the UCF campus and he responded he did not.
Plancher family attorneys played video highlights of UCF wide receivers coach David Kelly's deposition for the jury.
Kelly testified Plancher was "a fantastic kid."
"He was a very private, reserved, not good-natured but great-natured human being who only cared about -- who cared about others and their well-being much more than himself," Kelly said. "I mean, he truly characterized what we stand for not only in the UCF football family, but more specifically in our wide receiver football family, the term of family, caring for one another more than oneself."
Kelly, who was Plancher's position coach, said he did not learn Plancher tested positive for sickle cell trait until after the player's death. Kelly said he did recall the UCF football coaches ever meeting with athletic trainers to discuss sickle cell trait.
"We respect each other and whatever our area of expertise is, we trust that each other's going to do their jobs," Kelly said.
He testified he never saw Plancher fall during the workout, but added it was possible Plancher fell in an area he was not watching.
The jury was released at about 5 p.m., but the judge and attorneys stayed in the courtroom to review objections to video highlights of Vander Heiden's testimony that will be played for the jury Thursday morning.
Before the jury entered the courtroom Wednesday morning, both sets of attorneys read objections into the court record.
UCFAA attorney Anne Sullivan's list included an objection to Plancher family witnesses referencing other athletes whose deaths have been tied to sickle cell trait. UCFAA protested it was not allowed to reference other athletes at UCF who had the trait but did not suffer any problems during workouts.
Evans said UCFAA withheld information about those athletes despite repeated requests from the Planchers.
UCFAA provided the number of people on the football team who sickle cell trait at the time of Plancher's death, but they stated federal privacy laws prevented them from releasing the names of those athletes.
Evans previously ruled if they did not release the players' names, UCFAA could not use them as part of their defense.
Evans asked Sullivan to sit down and instructed the attorneys to move on to the next topic.
While Plancher family attorney Steve Yerrid began speaking, Sullivan stated, "Judge, we never withheld information."
Evans admonished Sullivan for interrupting Yerrid and disobeying his order.
"I'm tired of that," Evans said to Sullivan. " I said I'm tired of that. After this is all done, you're going to stay here I'm going to have a contempt proceeding on you. You may want to consider getting counsel for that."
Shapiro and Yerrid are the lead attorneys and have interrupted the opposing side the most during the first eight days of the trial.
Taylor asked the judge to understand that the team of attorneys were simply trying to aggressively defend their client and did not mean to disrespect the judge. Sullivan was upset and briefly left the courtroom. Taylor said she was an appellate specialist who simply was trying to make sure the record accurately reflected objections for any future appeals.
Evans told the attorneys the cameras in the courtroom seemed to have an impact on the their demeanor, prompting them to continue aggressively arguing points after the judge has ruled. Evans said Sullivan may have been in the wrong place at the wrong time. He backed off his plan to start contempt proceedings against her.
"It's not my intent to upset you, it's my intent to reign in everyone," Evans said to Sullivan when she returned to the courtroom.
She responded, "I'm not upset. I apologize."
Evans also urged the attorneys to use their time wisely. He said both sides agreed to a three-week trial and promised the jurors they would stick to that timeline.
"When you run out of time, you run out of time for anything other than to sit and watch," Evans said.
The judge told the attorneys after releasing the jury Wednesday that the Plancher side has 15 hours and 10 minutes remaining for questioning of witnesses, objections and closing arguments. He said UCFAA has 19 hours and 44 minutes. Evans said he would be willing to work late and during the weekend if the attorneys made a compelling case that they would not receive due process and be able to complete their case in time.

Koch Brothers Give $25 Million to United Negro College Fund
In a move that is sure to confound--and enrage--the left, the Koch brothers have donated $25 million to the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), the foremost source of financial support to African-American students.
The UNCF http://www.kochind.com/files/060514UNCFAnnouncesNewKochScholarsProgram.pdf" rel="nofollow - launched the "Koch Scholars" program Friday, which "will provide nearly 3,000 merit- based awards to African American undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctorate students seeking scholarship assistance."
According to Koch Industries, Inc., the donation will also help fund 37 historically black colleges, which have struggled with financial shortfalls in recent years.
"We are enormously grateful to Koch Industries and the Charles Koch Foundation for their long-standing support of UNCF and for helping to create new opportunities for earned success and a better future for our students," said UNCF president and CEO Dr. Michael Lomax.
The Koch brothers, Charles and David, are the Democrats' favored targets in campaigns against Republicans in general, particularly on themes of climate change and campaign finance. Led by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, for whom the Koch brothers are http://www.breitbart.com/InstaBlog/2014/05/07/Harry-Reid-Blames-Koch-Brothers-for-Climate-Change" rel="nofollow - a passionate obsession , Demcorats have made attacks on the Kochs the central feature of their midterm election campaign and their attempt to retain control of the U.S. Senate.
The Kochs, who support a variety of conservative, free market, and libertarian causes, are also known for their philanthropy in a variety of areas.
The $25 million donation to the UNCF is not a one-time gift aimed at easing public scrutiny, but is in fact the continuation of a long association between Koch-owned companies and the organization.
Regardless, Democrats may find that demonizing the Kochs will become a bit more difficult.

Reside@HOME: Linux For Elderly Healthcare
With the projected increase in the elderly population, the rising cost of health-care, and the lack of available resources to those with Alzheimer's and other neuro-degenerative diseases, a new technology start-up is hoping to alleviate some of this burden and create a new opportunity for Linux in the next-generation tele-health market. Reside@HOME is an "aging in place" solution that's designed to keep those with diminished cognitive ability independent and in their own residence for as long as possible. Part of what makes this interesting; however, is that the device is Linux-based -- Ubuntu Linux to be exact. Blue Heron Network LLC, the company behind Reside@HOME, will be formally introducing this solution in the first quarter of 2008, but in this article are some details about this unique Linux-based health-care product.

Pro Palestine/Gaza Rally The White House, Washington D.C
My Block / Couch Surfer Update
I don't typically write much on her regarding my work. Mostly all of it is hidden in cryptic messages on post its and shoved somewhere on my desk. I guess I'll share today a little bit about what I'm working on as of lately. I have two projects that I've been maintaining and slowly working on(though it's picking up the pace now!) since graduation. One is a project I started on couch surfing. If you are familiar with the site couchsurfing.org you can find me here http://www.couchsurfing.org/people/cmchale/ and maybe stay on my couch.( I can't make any promises though we get a lot of requests and it can sometimes get very difficult to have more than the usual five living in the house and usually someones significant other is there as well! ) The other project I am doing is on my neighborhood, which is in Washington D.C. I've been photographing local residents and also trying to photograph people "I don't introduce myself to first" which is a little hard seeing as I have no have auto focus and carrying around a strange looking camera. Anyways, what gets me about this neighborhood is that regardless of the crime – there have been multiple shootings this past month and in the past, there is a real sense of community and security. The influx of money and real estate development coming into the area though is causing me great pains, sure places like Dupont Circle are nice too but I really would not want to live there, and I wouldn't want to deal with someone having a problem with my constant porch sitting or my rent being raised any higher than it is. I also don't like typing on a computer, it feels too artificial. So enjoy the pictures and expect me not to really say anything about them for a long time.
Two selects from this past week. Someone people got shot down the street from my house this week and last. Newspapers are saying it was five but I was told four by witnesses.There goes the neighborhood.

Completely flummoxed by the question, I didn't know what to say. After all, I just had my hair cut, and I even recently purchased a HAIR STRAIGHTENER, which, believe me, was the source of much mirth and merriment in the house. In any case, my friend went on to explain that BBC's Newsround would be visiting our school Friday.
The boys were beyond excited. You would have thought that Christmas arrived early. As anyone Of A Certain Age (read 8-14) in the U.K. knows, Newsround is the children's BBC news program broadcast every day.
We thought about what we would say. We thought about what we would wear. I'd like to say that I brushed the boy's hair in anticipation, but we only do that twice a year on school picture day (whether they need it or not).
We got to our school's ICT suite at the appointed time and met Helen, the reporter, and Ushma, the camerawoman. They were incredibly nice, and seemed genuinely chuffed that the children were so excited to meet them. As a journalist, I have to say they were incredibly skilled in making sure that all the children got a chance to be on camera, and also had a really good manner with them all, while also getting the story done.
All in all, they spent more than an hour and a half at the school, filming interviews, reaction shots and introductions. Helen and Ushma carefully explained that even though they were there a long time, it wouldn't all be on newsround. As it was, the report lasted about a minute long (which in TV time, isn't half-bad.)
I didn't have anything to do with who they picked to talk to, but Thing One was interviewed and they used his response (see below). They also did a pretty cute shot of kids reacting to the movie, which included Thing Two, but they ended up not using that. During the shoot, I was busy trying to stay out of the way, while also fetching cold glasses of water and opening and shutting the blinds on demand. (As I actually used my hair straightener that day, I was somewhat disappointed that I didn't get interviewed. But it's all about the kids. Really.)
When the big day came, we....missed it. We only found out that it was broadcast Tuesday morning, when a boy from the school walked up to Thing One and said, "I saw you on telly this morning." His mother later told me she thought her son was kidding when he saw his schoolmates on TV. "You know how it is," she said. "You're trying to get them ready and out the door. I didn't actually believe him."
Since we don't watch TV on school days (that's right. I am a Mean Mother) I had no idea that Newsround is on several times a day. What do we know? We watch the news reports on the Interweb. In any case, my friend the computer whiz was able to download the video from yesterday. It'll be up on this site until the BBC lawyers find me.
Needless to say, we were thrilled with our one minute of fame.

They left out the 'mono-' prefix.
|atheist (ˈeɪθɪˌɪst)
|— n
|a person who does not believe in God or gods
|— adj
|of or relating to atheists or atheism
I agree wholeheartedly! The Collins dictionary is spot on and to generalize and say all atheists are, "pro-rationality, pro-reason, and pro-logic..." is not right, as I too know plenty that are not. At least not in my opinion (^_-). And as atheism becomes more popular/mainstream, it's inevitable that a much wider cross section of the public will be joining the ranks.
That's why I prefer to be known as a "6" or "Sixth" - that gets them every time and has a riot in L6 atheist as discussed elsewhere on the site.
riot? Ooops - that would have been "roots" if the spelling checker hadn't got a bit out of hand.
Well, Terence, my contention is that the atheist movement is almost a counter-culture movement. Basically we're having to poll against a bizarre inhumanity and moralist regress which has long permeated our culture and society, but now finds itself at a bit of a snare, as it is outmoded, yet refuses to grow beyond its original confines and flourish. I had always thought that Darwin would have agreed with me when I said "it's adaptation or death", but as a shadowy fellow I once read remarked, God is on life support!
If you really stop to consider it, if there was no erroneous attestations as to there being a mythical beared fatass in the clouds listening to harp music and raining burning sulphur down on us whenever he got bored, there would be reason for an antithesis. Hence, atheism is just a movement, albeit a valuable one.
Christianity has/had its purpose... to quell the masses and blanket the fire of ingress. However, now it's a cancerous growth that must be cut away so new ideas and ways of being may propagate themselves. Christianity was always used to bolster the herd in lieu of what were, in the end, political movements. Atheism, on the other hand, offers no such discrepancies... only that people think for themselves in want of the empirical collection of data we need to understand the reforming landscape of our world, which we call 'science'.
So, in closing, the atheist movement will come to an end in its own time, I believe, after mankind has a more rational understanding of life, the universe, and morality. Hence, the fact that Christians have created these terms is fitting, because they will be their undoing.
Well, I don't know why the dictionary would capitalize the word god, because there is no "God" in any religion. The Christian god's name is YHWH, which is pronounced Yahweh.
Here is how Wikitionary defines Atheist:
The word Atheist come from the Greek word ἄθεος (atheos) which means "without god," so it make sense that the dictionary would define an Atheist as "One who denies or disbelieves the existence of a God" but they should remove denies. It makes us sound mean.
But we are mean. We put up Satanic billboards at Christmas.

Blue Mountain Beach artist Justin Gaffrey enjoys sitting in a corner of his gallery or studio and watching people�s reaction to his artwork. The reaction he usually sees is that of joy.
The idea occurred to Gaffrey that he wanted to share that joy and take it into the environment where joy and peace is most needed: a hospital.
Gaffrey and Sacred Heart Hospital on the Emerald Coast President Roger Hall collaborated to choose a spot for a piece of Gaffrey's artwork and decided on the surgical waiting room. However, Gaffrey couldn't decide on which wall in the waiting room would be best for his artwork and ended up donating three of his paintings to hang on three different walls in the waiting room.
The three paintings were hung and unveiled at a public reception Feb. 28.
"I am happy to be a part of a community like this one and to be able to help people going through tough times," said Gaffrey. "I watch the people in my gallery and the joy they get from seeing my work and sometimes they get emotional. It occurred to me that there are a lot of people who have just come out of cancer treatment and what a perfect place to bring joy � at the hospital. It's a tough place to be."
The largest piece, which is of sunflowers in his expressive acrylics, is an original created by Gaffrey especially for the hospital.
Sarah Bailey, the hospital's marketing coordinator, said Gaffrey's artwork makes a world of difference in the spaces.
"We had pictures hanging in these spots before but they were nondescript. These make you want to smile," she said.
And indeed, as people passed through the area, all paused and commented on the striking pieces done in golden sunshiny hues of yellow and cream.
"You can judge the measure of the quality of a community's health care by the quality of the community," Hall told those gathered for the unveiling. "We raised $33 million to make the hospital successful. It's a different hospital. Today we bring further uniqueness through the different gifts of artists we have in this community. Justin donated these works of art to demonstrate his care for this community."
Hall presented a plaque to Gaffrey in appreciation for the donation.
The artwork is valued at close to $20,000.
While this is the first such donation Gaffrey has made, he said he would like to find a way to do a very large piece that could be in a public spot and would allow people to envelop themselves in it.

Summer Snack Attack! 23 Easy, Beach-Friendly Snacks Under 150 CaloriesBy Rebecca Swanner
No matter what body of water you're heading to this summer—beach, lake, your local pool—or even some neighborhood kid's Slip 'N Slide®—you'll be glad you packed these 23 delicious, nutritious snacks, each of which is 150 calories or less. If you're looking to get a balance of protein, fat, and carbs for each snack, halve the portions and combine nuts, cheese, or lean meats with the fruit-forward treats!
Not only will these keep you from craving that double scoop of mint chocolate chip, they'll help keep your hunger at bay while you're in and out of the water or soaking up the sun. Just don't forget the sunscreen.
Got a cooler? If you're packing an ice chest, try these refreshing treats that will cool you down when it feels like you're about to melt in the afternoon sun.
- Frozen grapes. With a taste just like sorbet, frozen grapes are the snack that got me through the dog days of many a New York City summer. Just rinse some grapes, toss them in a plastic bag, and throw them in the freezer. Hours later, you'll have a chilly, low-calorie snack. 1 cup of grapes equals 62 calories.
- Jicama salad. Chop 1 cup of jicama and add a splash of lemon juice and a pinch of salt for a tangy, crunchy salad. Those 50 calories will give you a blast of energy to get back in the pool for one more round of Marco Polo.
- Mediterranean salad. Go Greek and dice 1 medium tomato, half a red onion, and 1 cucumber. Top with 1 ounce of low-fat feta cheese and a pinch of salt. Trust me, it tastes way more decadent than its 146 calories.
- Dates and prosciutto. If you want something with more of a savory flavor, wrap 1 piece of prosciutto around a date for a bite that combines sweet and salty. Your taste buds will love you for it. Each one is approximately 50 calories.
- Watermelon twist. Even on its own, watermelon is such a great summer food. It's low in calories, full of water, and high in vitamin C. To add some protein and fat, top 1 cup of watermelon with 1 ounce of crumbled feta for a treat less than 100 calories.
- Caprese. The Italians know what they're doing when it comes to eating healthy. Moderation, moderation, moderation! For this savory snack with a little bite, top 1 ounce of fresh mozzarella cheese with 1 cup of cherry tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of your favorite balsamic vinegar.
- Shakeology®. Why not bring the Healthiest Meal of the Day® to the beach? Just mix half of a serving of your favorite flavor with water for a nutrient-packed snack that's 70 to 85 calories.
- Stuffed tomatoes. Tomatoes are packed with cancer-busting antioxidants, and when they're stuffed with this vegetarian-friendly recipe for olive and quinoa salad from Cookie + Kate, they've also got the protein and fat to keep you going all day. The easy-to-make snack is just 112 calories a serving.
- Berries. Feeling the heat? Munch on 1 cup of strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries for an antioxidant-friendly, refreshing treat that's under 100 calories. Simple and delicious!
- Tabouleh. This classic Middle Eastern salad is made from bulgur, tomato, parsley, lemon juice, mint, garlic, and salt. Make your own or pick up some from your local deli. A cup is approximately 150 calories or less.
- Gazpacho. This tomato-based soup is like a soup version of V8®, only without the preservatives and sodium. It's jam-packed with tons of vegetables and will help you feel hydrated even on the hottest of days. Follow this recipe and you'll have a low-cal soup in less than 30 minutes.
- Pickles. Want a practically calorie-free snack? Munch on some pickles! They're sweet and salty, and their delectable crunch makes them a fun snack to eat while you're sitting on the shore or lounging poolside.
- Gelatin dessert. For a sweet treat, enjoy the jiggle of a gelatin-based dessert like JELL-O® without adding extra jiggle to you at 80 calories or less. Though many products on the market have artificial ingredients, you can find better versions at natural food stores like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's®.
Going cooler-free? These snacks will keep your hunger at bay for when you're not planning to bring a cooler.
- Cinnamon apple. Sprinkle an apple with cinnamon for a treat that tastes like apple pie, but with only 70 tiny calories and no added sugar.
- Juicy fruit. Try 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce with a hint of cinnamon for a 100-calorie snack. Just make sure to read the ingredients, as many applesauce brands contain added sugar or high-fructose corn syrup.
- Nuts. A handful of 40 pistachios or 20 raw almonds will provide you with the protein and fat your body needs to fuel your fun in the sun.
- Olives. Get some healthy fats into your system by munching on 16 olives! Choose pitted ones to leave yourself with less to clean up.
- Peanut, almond, or cashew butter. For a super quick snack, grab a spoonful of nut butter. This protein-rich treat will give you energy. Even the all-natural versions have that great blend of salty and sweet for just 95 calories.
- Roasted chickpeas. Mix together olive oil, spices, and chickpeas on a baking sheet, roast them in your oven for 35 minutes, and you'll have a guilt-free snack high in fiber and antioxidants that's approximately 150 calories per quarter-cup serving.
- Tempeh. I first discovered this weird-looking food at the farmer's market when I bought it on a whim. It's made from fermented soy, so it's high in protein, probiotics, and calcium. It's less processed than tofu and has a nutty flavor that makes it yummy on its own. A half-cup is approximately 150 calories.
- Bell pepper with balsamic vinegar. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar over sliced bell peppers for a treat high in vitamin C and low in calories. 1 marinated bell pepper is equal to about 40 calories.
- Avocado toast. Mash 1/4 of an avocado onto 1 slice of whole wheat or sprouted-grain toast and sprinkle it with Espellete pepper for a 120-calorie omega-3 friendly snack. Here's Team Beachbody's recipe for this snack.
- Water. Don't forget about hydration! If you're going to be in the sun, it's critical to make sure you're replenishing your water supply whether or not you're splashing around in the waves. Unless you want a midday headache, that is. Drink iced cold water, iced tea, coconut water, or sparkling water to rehydrate.

The Superfood Sleuth: An Interview with Shakeology® Co-Creator Darin OlienBy Denis Faye
Darin Olien knows more than you do.
Or at least that's what it feels like when you sit down with Shakeology's master architect to discuss the best-selling Beachbody® supplement's latest formulations. One minute he's telling you about the benefits of sourcing moringa from Senegal. The next minute he's taking you on the tour of how konjac travels through the human digestive system.
While intelligence obviously plays a role in Darin's knowledge base, another reason that he knows so darn much what goes into Shakeology is his over-the-top passion. Traveling the world to discover the healthiest, most ethical way to source ingredients and then figuring out how to combine them in synergistic, beneficial ways isn't just something he does for a paycheck. The man loves his job.
This month, Beachbody adds a new product to the Shakeology line: Chocolate Vegan Shakeology. Taking cues from its sister vegan Tropical Strawberry Shakeology, the new drink features several groovy new superfoods, including moringa, coconut flower nectar, luo han guo, Himalayan salt, and konjac. In order to tell you all about them, we took a page from Darin's playbook and sought out the best possible source: Darin. But unlike the Shakeology Hunter, we didn't have to traverse the globe to do it. Here's what he had to share.
Tell us about the fancy new stuff that's been added to Shakeology.
I'll start with the wonderful miracle tree, one of my favorite rediscoveries, the moringa oleifera. It's possibly one of the greatest superfoods I've ever come across. It can grow in a lot of different places because of its ability to uptake nutrients from soils. So you get high chlorophyll, you get about 35 active antioxidants and up to 96 active phytochemicals, and then you've got some of the fun micronutrients like really high vitamin C, vitamin A, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and—here's the kicker—it's got all the essential amino acids.
It's one of those things that makes formulation really easy because it's so full and it's got all of the data on it. Johns Hopkins has studied it for a long time. I've been looking into it for about 4 years—every day a new country pops up where they can grow it because it's turned into a cash crop opportunity.
Why do you think it took so long to be discovered?
I don't know. It grows really easily but it's hard to process if you want all those constituents. You have a 30-minute window to capture all of those nutrients in it to the best of your ability. As soon as you start whacking off those leaves, you have to get it washed and dried like that.
You mentioned how it absorbs from the soil quite a bit. That obviously means you need to be pretty careful because you can absorb bad things too.
Absolutely. With our industrial world, it's very tricky. You always have to test the soil. In these kinds of areas that Beachbody sources from, often in the middle of nowhere, you don't have to worry about that, but certainly as moringa—or any other commodity—comes up, everyone's going to jump into the game. You can put a moringa plant next to a railroad track in India and it's going to grow fine, but it's going to pick up all kinds of bad stuff.
Why did we choose Senegal for sourcing moringa?
We're kind of going off the heels of moringa expert Dr. Lowell Fuglie. He found out that the soil qualities, the mineral qualities, the temperature, and the climate are the best in Senegal—and he went all over the world! Also, the labor issues in Senegal are solid and the relative cost is cheaper for us, but they get a higher wage than in the other commodities. So you've got all those things.
Let's talk about coconut flower nectar next.
Coconut flower nectar—the blood, basically, of the coconut tree. So it's not coconut water powder; it's from the tree itself, coming off the flower of the coconut. You literally cut where the flower would come out and this liquid comes out. The interesting thing about coconut flower nectar is its very low glycemic index. It has amino acids, it's got brain activators, and so it's got this whole array of other qualities. It's just incidentally a sweetener.
The great thing about formulation is that you find these things that have pleomorphic effect, not just a linear effect. So you're not just using coconut flower because it's sweet. You're also putting it in there because it has other synergistic qualities. It's doing other things; it's able to create and have a different effect on the body than just a sweetener.
So when you're putting all these ingredients together, you're trying to find combinations that work synergistically?
Yes. I think one plus one equals 13 when you formulate. You make sure that the macro perspective is being honored—the fats, the proteins, the amino acids, the carbs—and that they're delivered in a synergistic way. Then you can continue to go down the rabbit hole and say things like, "I'll add moringa because now that's got 7 times the amount of calcium than milk does. I can add my camu in and that's got 30% of vitamin C in it from its powdered forms." And sometimes you don't know, so you have to move along on the formula; get it and then test it. It can be quite daunting. Sometimes they come together, and now you're getting a different effect. It can be surprising.
Let's talk about luo han guo.
The Chinese have been using that for 10,000 years, not as a sweetener, but to regulate some of the systems of the body. It has a cooling effect on the body. Again, this is one of those things where it's a digestive aid, a diabetic supporter, and oh, by the way, it's incredibly sweet—500 times sweeter than sugar.
In the field, for every 100 kilos of it you get 1 kilo of powder. So it's a very, very expensive process and challenging in that way, so it has a limitation as well. The challenge is how much you can push it. There's no toxicity danger, but if you use too much, it will turn your body off to the sweetness. So you have limits and, again, even just the sweetening system alone has got so many healing properties to it. You're not just throwing things in there to sweeten it, you're going for what other effects it can have and contribute to the formula. That's why the new Shakeology has a range of sweeteners. It's like an orchestra.
How about the Himalayan salt?
Himalayan salt, oh my God, you're going to have to rein me in. One of the greatest superfoods, one of the greatest things we need for our body, unrefined salt. Not to be confused with table salt, the stripped down, neurotoxic salt that causes people to say, "Don't use so much." They're absolutely right; don't use that salt on the table. Use unrefined salt. We need it for hydration. In this formula it's an alchemist. It's delivering over 70 trace minerals. We need those minerals, but we need them in the right form, in the food form, in the crystal form—in this form we're talking about the size of the molecule—so that our cells can absorb them without your body needing additional mechanisms to break them down.
There's also so much that can be said about salt itself. If you don't have salt, your whole primary operating system will not work. We are a super conductor, our body is a superconductor with 70 trillion batteries, which are cells, and if you don't have salt and electrolytes, those systems don't work, and then you use glycogen in the cells and acidify. You don't know it's happening, you just know you're not feeling so great; you get adrenal fatigue, your cholesterol goes up, and your immune system doesn't work, so this is a very cellular alchemist necessity. And in the formula perspective, it's really interesting because it stretches out sugars.
Stretches out sugars?
It enhances the sweetness and dampens the astringent. I even put salt on my salad, right? The negative reports have nothing to do with unrefined salt.
Is there any concern that Himalayan salt is a finite resource, since there's only so much in the mountains?
Not in our lifetime, not in about a hundred million lifetimes. They're big mountains.
How about konjac?
Initially, we went after it because it was a great replacement for the xantham and guar gum. But the konjac root fits right in because it has a multidimensional effect. It has a wonderful effect on the cholesterol of the body, it buffers and supports the digestive system as a whole, and in the formulation it creates the mouth feel; it blends, it pulls together. It also has a very functional effect in a digestive way.
How does it work, exactly, in your digestive track?
Konjac and its functional ingredient, glucomannan, are hydrophilic, meaning it likes water. When you add water, it will then absorb it and then bind itself to the other ingredients, creating a micro gel. And that's what creates the smoothie effect and the thickening effect of Shakeology. It's a very similar thing as it goes through the body. So there's a lot of insoluble fiber action. It can help slow some of the sugar absorption down, and it can help coat the digestive system with a positive effect as opposed to the acidic effect of processed foods. In your mouth, it's very supportive with the amylase and the digestive enzymes. In your intestines, it's very supportive and helps replenish the mucosal lining.
So you're happy with the new formulations?
Yes, but if it was up to me . . . well, it's very hard to stop formulating.
You're always tinkering.
I'm always tinkering.

Can You Build Muscle as a Vegan? (And 9 Other Questions About Going Meatless)By Rebecca Swanner
Are you thinking about going vegan but aren't sure you'll be able to get the results you want from your workout program? In this article, we tackle this question and the 9 others that are likely on your mind.
By going vegan, you're making a commitment to avoid all animal products and by-products. This means not eating meat, dairy, honey, and other products, and also not wearing leather, fur, and other products made from animals. Why do it? If done in a healthy way, it can be great for your body and for the planet. Recent research published in the journal Diabetologia revealed that reducing meat intake can help reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes, and a study from London's Imperial College shows it may be able to prevent long-term weight gain.
Converting to a vegan lifestyle isn't easy, but it's a lot easier than it was 20 years ago . . . even if you don't live in alternative-diet-friendly California. These days, you'll find vegan restaurants in most urban centers, and vegan books and online resources abound. And, to help you get many of the nutrients and some of the protein you need, Beachbody® recently introduced Chocolate Vegan and Tropical Strawberry Shakeology.
To help you make the switch, we asked Beachbody Wellness Expert Denis Faye the 10 questions we get most often. And, as a bonus, he even decided to answer them.
- I want to build muscle. Can I do this if I'm vegan? Yes. It can be a bit more challenging to eat enough healthy calories to build serious mass, but it can be done. And, believe it or not, vegan bodybuilders do exist. Case in point is the author of Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness, Robert Cheeke. I'd hate to meet that guy in a dark alley and suggest he eat a pork chop.
- Will I be able to get enough calories as a vegan if I'm training with a program like P90X® or INSANITY®? Yes. Eating foods like tempeh, nuts, and legumes will help you reach your caloric needs no matter what program you're doing. In addition, the P90X2® nutrition guide has an entire vegan plan. Also, here's an article on going vegan P90X-style in the newsletter archives.
- What are the top foods I should add to my diet? I'm afraid I won't be getting enough calcium, vitamin B12, vitamin D, or iron. The fact that you know these are the micronutrients your diet may be short on puts you ahead of the game. Whole-grain cereals and breads are often fortified with these 4 micronutrients, but you can't live on grain alone. Here's a breakdown of what to keep in your kitchen.
- Calcium: Leafy greens, almonds, broccoli, oranges, chickpeas, soy. A salad a day should cover it.
- Iron: Spinach, sesame and pumpkin seeds, garbanzo, navy and lima beans, soy, and lentils. Add these to your salad, snack on the seeds alone, or make a hearty chili or stew.
- Vitamins B12 and D: For these micronutrients, vegetarian sources are hard to find, so you'll want to take a good multivitamin.
- Can I just substitute soy for meat in all my recipes? Technically, yes, but I wouldn't recommend it. Soy is a great tool for vegans in that it's one of the few "complete" vegetable proteins out there. It has the 9 essential amino acids you need to survive. It's also rich in the other micronutrients we discussed in the previous question.
That said, it's never healthy to overeat any food. And furthermore, soy-based fake meats tend to be packed with sodium and chemicals.
A serving of soy a day, preferably in fermented forms such as tempeh or miso, is fine. If you're worried about estrogen, don't be. The estrogen in soy is known as phytoestrogen, and these hormone-regulating compounds are different from those made by the human body. For the record, the only recorded case of someone developing man boobs from eating too much soy was a 70-year-old man who drank nearly a gallon of soy milk a day—and they went away when he stopped.
- Are there any supplements I should take? You should add a supplement that includes vitamins B12 and D to your diet. You may also be low on omega-3 fatty acids as these most commonly come from eating fish, so consider adding a vegan-friendly omega-3 supplement such as flaxseed oil.
- If a food product doesn't have dairy, honey, or meat listed as an ingredient, it's vegan, right? No! Animal products are everywhere. For example, gelatin, which you'll find in JELL-O®, puddings, marshmallows, and the casing for gel-caps, is made from animal bones. Many winemakers use albumin, dried blood powder, milk proteins, or fish bladders to remove sediment and other particles before the wine is bottled. And cane sugar is often whitened using charcoal from cow bones. But, hey, you shouldn't be eating sugar anyway.
The easiest way to avoid animal products is to eat as many whole foods as possible instead of "food products." And, when it comes to supplements, stick to those that plainly state that they are vegan, such as vegan Shakeology®.
An exhaustive list of foods that contain animal products is too long to include here, but PETA® maintains a complete guide.
- Is there any truth to combining proteins to make a complete protein? Absolutely. Dietary protein is made up of 20 amino acids. The human body produces 11 of those, leaving 9 that we need to get in our diet to survive. Animal-based foods are rich in these 9, making them "complete" protein sources. Individual vegetable sources tend to be missing one or two, so it's important to combine certain ones to get all 9. A classic example of this is the combination of legumes and grains (i.e., rice and beans).
But you don't need to eat all 9 at one meal as long as you get them during the course of the day. If you have sprouted whole-grain toast for breakfast and a three-bean salad for lunch, you're in good shape.
- Beans and vegetables like broccoli and kale give me indigestion. What can I do about this? Switching to a vegan diet can be challenging for the digestive system as you might be eating a lot more fiber. If you tough it out for 2 to 3 weeks and put up with a couple embarrassing elevator moments, your body should adjust.
Here are some things that you can do that will help make your transition easier.
- Chew your food more thoroughly. This allows the digestive enzymes in your mouth to take some of the burden off of the rest of your system.
- When cooking beans, always soak and rinse them thoroughly. This reduces their gas-causing oligosaccharides (sugars).
- Ginger and fennel are two great homeopathic ways to settle an unsettled gut. Try sipping ginger tea or chewing on fennel seeds.
- Two important factors in breaking down these foods are digestive enzymes and healthy gut bacteria. Enzyme supplements and probiotics are two great ways to help yourself out in this area.
- Where can I find some vegan recipes to get me started? Becoming Vegan by Brenda Davis, R.D. and Vesanto Melina, M.S., R.D. This book covers every aspect of vegan nutrition, from the history of veganism to how vegans can get the macronutrients—protein, carbs, and fat—they need.
Veganomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook by Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero. This book takes less of a scientific approach and more of a culinary one. It's like The Joy of Cooking for vegans.
Finally, chef and author Mark Bittman has long been an advocate of reducing animal products in the American diet while maintaining the yum factor. Start exploring his amazing veggie recipes at his Web site.
- On second thought, I'm not ready to go fully vegan. What other options do I have? Several. There's ovo-lacto vegetarianism, which means you include eggs and dairy in your diet. There's pescatarianism, which means you keep a mostly vegetarian diet but eat fish—that's how I eat. Tony Horton is a flexitarian, meaning he mostly eats vegan, but does occasionally eat meat. Tony is especially picky about what animal products he eats. His poultry is organic and field-raised, his seafood is wild-caught and sustainable, and his beef is organic and free-range.
But you don't have to follow any specific dogma. If you want to cut down on animal products, do it as you see fit. Perhaps you can take part in the "Meatless Monday" campaign launched by the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health's Center for a Livable Future and not eat animal products on Mondays.
No matter what you do, cutting back on your meat intake is probably going to be good for you and for the planet. According to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization, Americans are among the highest per capita meat gobblers on Earth—and we're no healthier.

- Add garlic, habanero pepper, and seitan; sauté over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes or until seitan is golden brown.

Emil J. Cisarik, charter member of South Farmingdale Fire Department
To the community of South Farmingdale, Emil J. Cisarik was a hero. A charter member and ex-captain of the South Farmingdale Fire Department, and volunteer since 1960, he once pulled a 300-pound man out of a burning building. Both men lived to tell the tale. But to Mr. Cisarik's family, he was much more than a fireman serving his community.

My left breast (always the problem child) hurts like a really bad bruise this morning.
My dd never wants to nurse on that side, so I do my best to empty it with the pump, but sometimes it doesn't respond well (full, and marbly but won't give up the milk - even after let-down). Last night I noticed that it felt engorged even after I nursed my dd down, including nursing on that side, which she'll do when she's very calm/asleep. So I pumpled like 2oz over the course of 25 min which is a lot for that side. It felt better, so I went to bed.
My dd (9.5 months) sleeps through the night regularly, which she did last night, but I started waking and noticing discomfort in the night like engorgement which is not abnormal since we're still adjusting to STTN.
She nursed when she woke at about 6am and a couple more times before I dropped her off at Daycare. I took a hot bath this morning, but no relief.
WOW - it HURTS!! There are particularly a couple spots on the breast that are especially tender. I mean a slight breeze hurts.
I think I'm starting to feel achy, but that might be my overactive imagination since I read that flu-like symptoms are associated with mastitis.... is that what this is?
I'm gonna just pump as thoroghly as I can today (I work full time), and drink lots of water. Any other suggestions?

Lifestyle Changes to Manage Uterine (Endometrial) Cancer
by Debra Wood, RN
Lifestyle changes can be helpful in a variety of important ways:
General Guidelines
Stop Smoking
Smoking is a known risk factor for many cancers. Although you may have already been diagnosed with cancer, it's not too late to stop smoking. When you quit smoking, you reduce your risk of its many associated medical complications, which should improve your chances of withstanding the physical stresses of cancer and treatment. Also, since the immune system of smokers is generally less effective than non-smokers, by quitting you may be adding your immune system's ability to join in the battle against cancer.
Ask your doctor about programs to help you stop smoking, such as group support, hypnosis, and alternative nicotine delivery systems.
Reduce Your Risk of Infection TOP
To decrease your risk of infection, avoid exposure to bacteria and viruses:
Follow a Nutritious Diet TOP
Eating a healthful diet may help you avoid other medical conditions linked to poor nutrition. Because cancer itself and some cancer treatment may have a dulling effect on your appetite, it's important that you make the most of the calories you do take in. Strongly consider consulting a registered dietitian (RD) to help you learn more about the best kinds of foods for you to eat, and how to eat other, less healthful foods in moderation.
Participate in a Reasonable Level of Exercise TOP
If you have not been exercising regularly, check with your doctor to determine a safe exercise program under your current circumstances. Exercise has many benefits that may help you withstand the physical and emotional stresses of cancer and cancer treatment:
You may consider consulting a personal trainer to help you set exercise goals, and to safely follow through on initiating an exercise program.
While incorporating exercise, be sure to balance rest and activities to prevent becoming too tired.
Rest When Tired TOP
The treatments for cancer can add to the fatigue you already feel from fighting cancer. In fact, fatigue is the most frequently experienced symptom of cancer and cancer treatments. The fatigue you feel can range from "just feeling tired" to complete and utter exhaustion. Wherever in this range you fall, you may find your fatigue quite distressing and affecting your quality of life.
It is important to allow your body time to rest. This will help your body have the strength to heal itself. Studies have shown a relationship between fatigue and an increased morbidity of cancer and cancer treatments as a result of fatigue's adverse effect on appetite, diminished quality of life, and loss of hope.
To help you avoid getting overtired, try not to do too much. Prioritize the things you need to do, and focus on the most important ones. Also, allow others to help you with daily chores, shopping, and preparing meals. Plan times throughout the day when you can rest. And don't forget...get a good nights rest.
Seek Support TOP
The diagnosis of cancer is life-defining event that is difficult to handle for anyone. Facing the uncertainty of a serious disease, feeling anxious about how you will feel during treatment, and worrying about the impact of both the diagnosis and treatment on your plans and your family and friends, can take a devastating toll that no one should have to tackle on their own. Give yourself permission to call on any helpful resources, including the following:
People who allow themselves to seek support while they are recovering from cancer can often maintain better emotional equilibrium, which will help them face the challenges of cancer and its treatment.
When to Contact Your Doctor TOP
It's important that you don't make major lifestyle changes without consulting your doctor, and verifying that you are proceeding safely. You are already being physically and emotionally challenged by the presence of cancer and the rigors of treatment. You and your doctor need to work together to make wise lifestyle choices and implement them in the healthiest way possible. Your doctor can provide referrals to an RD, personal trainer, therapist, and support group.

Common hockey phrase referring to the Calgary Flames and their complete lack of skill, speed and grit. They have an obvious inferiority complex to their rivals to the north, the Edmonton Oilers. Flames fans say they are sick of hearing about The Oil and their 5 Stanley Cups. I'd be sick of hearing about it too if I cheered for a team that has only one Stanley Cup. Now the inferiority complex is getting even worse for Flames fans as they witness the Oilers young exciting line-up surely to win future championships while the Flames roster continues to get older and slower with no hope for the future.
I have played a lot of hockey, watched a lot of hockey and have a decent knowledge of the game. Any person with a brain for hockey knows that the flames suck.

High-Tech Homes We Love
From flatscreens to top-of-the-line kitchen appliances, technological touches can make a great home even better, all while seamlessly fitting into the space's aesthetic. Case in point: our readers, who know a thing or two about incorporating high-tech elements without feeling like they're living in a spaceship. Here are a few of our favorite examples.
1. Amy & Todd's Mod Chicago Home. This Smart Tech, SM Energy Star-rated home is full of high-tech appeal, but our fave is the ventless fireplace in the bedroom.
2. Sherry and Miguel's Marvimon House. With a sweet 16-foot digital cinema, movie night is definitely at Sherry and Miguel's place.
3. Greg & Rob's Sky Suite. This oh-so-modern Chicago condo boasts a remote-controlled LED lighting installation above the dining-room table.
4. Chloe's Stylish West London Home. This sleek and stylish living room might look unassuming, but its concealed disco lights turn it into party central.
5. Johanna & Derek's Airy Live/Work Studio. What keeps this wide-open layout cozy? Radiant-heated floors!
6. Alan's Retreat in the Hills. A wall-mounted flatscreen and a huge, comfy couch make this modern living room the perfect perch for a Netflix binge.
7. The Canal Apartment. This Paris appartement has one ingenious kitchen: complete with triple-purpose cooker/oven/dishwasher!

If you think the local economy is slow, you may be overlooking San Diego's green technology industry.
The region boasts a number of alternative energy companies, from Car2Go to Soitec, a French manufacturer of photovoltaic systems that calls San Diego home for its U.S. headquarters.
And they're hiring.
The person on the edge of San Diego's technological happenings is Holly Smithson, president of the 120-member nonprofit CleanTECH San Diego. Smithson, 42, who worked for the Environmental Protection Agency before taking over the organization in 2008, said the clean-tech industry in San Diego continues to expand, research, hire and grow in a region with lots of sunlight.
The U-T recently caught up with Smithson to talk about the future opportunities for San Diegans who want to be involved in the growing field. (Her responses have been edited for length.)
Q: If you looked at the green energy industry on its own, would it paint a different picture of our economy?
A: The opportunities in each of these sectors — smart grid, energy efficiency, biofuels, solar, wind — we have such a high concentration of companies within each of those verticals, and what we're trying to do at CleanTECH San Diego is at a wholesale level increase the uptake and the market demand for these products. So if there are more people getting these products, guess what? You're going to encourage more companies to come into the region and respond to the demand.
Q: There's talk that a lot of jobs are open in the field, but companies can't find qualified people. What are your thoughts on that?
A: Our cluster's greatest work force demands center around high-wage electrical engineers, while high-tech precision manufacturing with specialized training is going well in the San Diego market. The biggest growth market continues to be on the solar installation side. Meanwhile, systems engineers, computer engineers, mechanical engineers are all in demand. There's a heavy concentration in our educational systems around S.T.E.M. — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — for a reason.
CleanTECH San Diego works hard to keep our market as robust as possible as we seek to attract and retain the 850-plus clean-tech companies in our region. As we maintain that leadership perch, the marriage between a ready work force and the innovation community represents a fantastic market advantage. While we are broadly recognized as a leader in the clean-tech demonstration, validation and deployment areas, nurturing our work force development needs in parallel is key.
Q: Texas Gov. Rick Perry has been visiting California to attract companies to move to his state, with no corporate or personal income taxes. Are you seeing that threat in your field?
A: While there might be a strategic outreach by other states and other governors, what we are seeing is a very organic migration to come to San Diego and establish themselves in what they deem to be a very strong marketplace. We have a very robust ecosystem in place. So a company comes here and says 'I want to be closer to the customer. I see that there is an enormous amount of adoption and uptake of new clean technology, and so therefore, based on my market intelligence, our company needs to be closer to the market.'
Q: You spent years working on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. What attracted you to San Diego?
A: When we think about San Diego, I think we are recognized as people that live in the realm of possibilities, and that's very attractive to me. The other thing was that this community is broadly recognized as really huge collaborators, and so the opportunity to demonstrate leadership is one thing, but to actually execute on projects and bring companies can only be had if you have people that are willing to roll up their sleeves and show the sweat equity.
Q: So what's the future?
A: We're intent on introducing sustainable solutions and clean-tech systems to our region's iconic landmarks. With sizable energy footprints and even bigger appetites to save costs and be better environmental stewards, our member partners at The San Diego Zoo, Petco Park, the San Diego Port Authority, and potentially the Centennial Celebration are now poised to walk the clean-tech talk.
CleanTECH San Diego's role as a market facilitator is helping to align all the various strategic partners with the enabling solutions providers and helping to aid in the execution of their respective clean-tech agendas across our region. While there will be inevitable bumps and pivots in that pursuit, San Diego region's future is bold, and the market is primed.

Why did you join Laerdal?
I was impressed with Laerdal's motto, "Helping save lives". This was not just a commercial company seeking incomes and profits, but one with a clear vision and values. This was really the company I wanted to work for.
What is the best thing about working here?
Every time I meet with customers who recognize us as a partner or someone they can trust and work together with, not just a commercial vendor selling products.
Describe a typical day at work
As a country manager (or a managing director), the first thing I do is check various sources of information, then, organizing and attending internal team meetings, approving key projects and expenses, visiting and meeting with customers, setting up sales and expense budgets, planning sales and marketing activities, promoting key and new products, communicating with regional managers, directors and other international networks, attending major conferences (local and international), teleconferences and webinars, making business trips, either domestic or overseas, and so on.
