I often see reports like: people who drink red wine are less likely to have heart attacks; people who smoke are more likely to develop lung cancer; people who drink green tea have fewer cancers. Sometimes it seems like everything is bad for you - unless someone is selling it, in which case everything is good for you.
It can't possibly get more complicated - or can it?
I often meet people who "don't like" specific foods. Some people "can't eat" specific foods, saying "I'm allergic to...".
Green peppers can cause people to burp - because the skin is harder to digest. And when you burp - you taste and smell the food that caused the discomfort - so you learn that green peppers cause digestive problems. This is a natural defense to keep us from eating foods that are toxic. Burping after you eat any new food can lead to a dislike that is hard to shake. Green peppers are often used in pizza - and I can see another source of dislike. Pizza is not a very safe food, prone to food poisoning if you are not careful. If you get food poisoning from pizza, you might burp - you might throw up. And which of the ingredients will you remember? I'm betting it's the green pepper. It is easy to learn to dislike the taste of green pepper.
Beer is one of the least famous. Many people don't like the taste of beer, especially people in their late teens to mid-twenties. But many people who don't like the taste of beer 'like to drink' beer so cold that the taste disappears. I like the taste of beer, so I don't like cold beer - it has no taste.
Our diets change over time, often without our awareness. We can learn to like things that we don't like. And we can learn to dislike things that we do like. When we are children, our likes and dislikes are often created by comments from parents or siblings - who might say things like "YUCK, how can you eat that?". I know several people who's fathers served in the war - and learned to hate mutton. So the children learned a dislike for the taste of lamb. Over time, each of us develops a unique "Don't Like" profile.
As I encounter people who don't like certain foods, or who cannot eat certain foods because of allergies - I sometimes wonder if anyone has studied Don't Likes and related them to illness. What if we created a field of study called "Don't Like Analysis"?
Are people who don't like green peppers more likely to develop certain illnesses?
Are people who have a lot of Don't Likes healthier, or less healthy than people who have few dislikes?
Are there clusters of people who don't like groups of foods? How does the health of these people compare to people who do like most foods in that group?
Do our tastes change, or mature over time? It seems that young people don't like red wine, or olives. But as we grow older our taste changes - and we might learn to love both. Does this happen for all foods, or just some foods?
I like the taste of lobster, but it seems that, about 50 percent of the time, if I eat lobster - I break out in a serious case of hives the next day. It generally lasts less than 8 hours, but is very uncomfortable. So, I don't eat lobster - even though I like the taste. I can't be sure if it will get better or worse. Once I had a similar experience from trout - which I also love. I assumed the trout may have been processed over a table that also processed lobster. I've enjoyed trout many times since then without incident. It would have been easy to decide that I shouldn't eat trout.
Now that I've started to think about it... I suspect there have been few health, or illness, studies on what people like to eat. It's difficult to measure what people actually eat and then study their health. It might be easier to ask them what foods and drinks they really like - and then analyze their health and illness for correlations.
Which goes to show - we don't know much about health. There are many more questions than answers. It reminds me of a quote that a co-worker kept over her desk:
We have not succeeded in answering all our problems. The answers we have found only serve to raise a whole set of new questions. In some ways we feel we are as confused as ever, but we believe we are confused on a higher level and about more important things.
We are confused about health. There seem to be more questions than answers. Each answer seems to raise a whole new set of questions. We are getting more and more confused.
But our confusion about health seems to be very erratic. We are not asking questions, and finding answers that raise our confusion to a higher level. We are jumping from one answer to another. From one confusion to another. Red wine is good. Alcohol is bad.
We are not creating a foundation of knowledge, we are not "confused at a higher level and about more important things".
If we ar to raise our knowledge of health to a higher level, we need to study and understand the hierarchy of health. We need to learn to measure health in each of the layers, and each of the components of health - separately from illness. When we learn to measure health, we can learn which health measurements are most useful. Today we only study the usefulness of illness measurements.
When we learn which health measurements are most useful, most indicative of overall health status - we will have answered questions that raise our knowledge to a higher level. Then we can ask questions about "what people don't like", and measure the results - relating them directly to health.
Maybe someday we will find health practitioners with this quote variation over their desk:
We have not succeeded in answering all health questions. The answers we have found only serve to raise a whole set of new questions. In some ways we feel we are as confused as ever, but we believe we are confused on a higher level and about more important things.
I want to be confused about health - at a higher level, and about more important things.
yours in health,
Tracy is the author of two book about healthicine:

The Lewis and Clark Expedition travelled up the Missouri River across Montana, Idaho, and Washington, to the Pacific Ocean and back in one of America's best-known and least understood adventures. What did the Corps of Discovery actually accomplish? What did the expedition mean to Americans at the time and later? What specific activities were important then that are less important now? How has technology affected such things as weapons, travel, food, and communication? Participants engage in a lively discussion of what the journey was actually like and what its successes and failures were and are.

Senior Federal District Judge Ronald Lagueux, a 1986 Reagan appointee, has ordered the Cranston High School in Cranston, Rhode Island to remove a mural, pictured above, depicting a school prayer. The mural had been in the school since 1963. The suit, as is usual in these modern iconoclastic cases, was brought by the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of an atheist student and her father, Mark Ahlquist. Jessica Ahlquist, the 16 year old atheist who brought the suit, has become an atheist celeb on atheist sites on the internet. She doesn't think much of the Catholic Church, is indeed a fallen away Catholic, and Cranston is 90% Catholic, so this suit was her way, actually I suspect more her father's way, to poke a stick in the eye of local Catholics. Go here to read the opinion. Judge Lagueux's decision is notable for its overall reliance on the Lemon test, and I will leave to Justice Scalia below to set forth my views of that court created doctrine.
In few areas of the law has the Constitution been more twisted and deformed than in the area of First Amendment allowance of religious expression in schools. Justice Scalia gave a useful summary in 1993 in the Lamb's Chapel v. Moriches Union Free School District case:
As to the Court's invocation of the Lemon test: Like some ghoul in a late night horror movie that repeatedly sits up in its grave and shuffles abroad, after being repeatedly killed and buried, Lemon stalks our Establishment Clause jurisprudence once again, frightening thelittle children and school attorneys of Center Moriches Union Free School District. Its most recent burial, only last Term, was, to be sure, not fully six feet under: our decision in Lee v. Weisman, 505 U. S. —-, —- (1992) (slip op., at 7), conspicuously avoided using the supposed "test" but also declined the invitation to repudiate it. Over the years, however, no fewer than five of the currently sitting Justices have, in their own opinions, personally driven pencils through the creature's heart (the author of today's opinion repeatedly), and a sixth has joined an opinion doing so. See, e. g., Weisman, supra, at —- (slip op., at 14) (Scalia, J., joined by, inter alios, Thomas, J., dissenting); Allegheny County v. American Civil Liberties Union, Greater Pittsburgh Chapter, 492 U.S. 573, 655-657 (1989) (Kennedy, J., concurring in judgment in part and dissenting in part); Corporation of Presiding Bishop of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints v. Amos, 483 U.S. 327, 346-349 (1987) (O'Connor, J., concurring); Wallace v. Jaffree, 472 U.S. 38, 107-113 (1985) (Rehnquist, J., dissenting); id., at 90-91 (White, J., dissenting); School Dist. of Grand Rapids v. Ball, 473 U.S. 373, 400 (1985) (White, J., dissenting); Widmar v. Vincent, 454 U.S. 263, 282 (1981) (White, J., dissenting); New York v. Cathedral Academy, 434 U.S. 125, 134-135 (1977) (White, J., dissenting); Roemer v. Maryland Bd. of Public Works, 426 U.S. 736, 768 (1976) (White, J., concurring in judgment); Committee for Public Education & Religious Liberty v. Nyquist, 413 U.S. 756, 820 (1973) (White, J., dissenting).
The secret of the Lemon test's survival, I think, is that it is so easy to kill. It is there to scare us (and our audience) when we wish it to do so, but we can command it to return to the tomb at will. See, e. g., Lynch v. Donnelly, 465 U.S. 668, 679 (1984) (noting instances in which Court has not applied Lemon test). When we wish to strike down a practice it forbids, we invoke it, see, e. g., Aguilar v. Felton, 473 U.S. 402 (1985) (striking downstate remedial education program administered in part in parochial schools); when we wish to uphold a practice it forbids, we ignore it entirely, see Marsh v. Chambers, 463 U.S. 783 (1983) (upholding state legislative chaplains). Sometimes, we take a middle course, calling its three prongs "no more than helpful signposts," Hunt v. McNair, 413 U.S. 734, 741 (1973). Such a docile and useful monster is worth keeping around, at least in a somnolent state; one never knows when one might need him.
For my part, I agree with the long list of constitutional scholars who have criticized Lemon and bemoaned the strange Establishment Clause geometry of crooked lines and wavering shapes its intermittent use has produced. See, e. g., Choper, The Establishment Clause and Aid to Parochial Schools–An Update, 75 Cal. L. Rev. 5 (1987); Marshall, "We Know It When We See It": The Supreme Court and Establishment, 59 S. Cal. L. Rev. 495 (1986); McConnell, Accommodation of Religion, 1985 S. Ct. Rev. 1; Kurland, The Religion Clauses and the Burger Court, 34 Cath. U. L. Rev. 1 (1984); R. Cord, Separation of Church and State (1982); Choper, The Religion Clauses of the First Amendment: Reconciling the Conflict, 41 U. Pitt. L. Rev. 673 (1980). I will decline to applyLemon–whether it validates or invalidates the government action in question–and therefore cannot join the opinion of the Court today. [n.*]
I cannot join for yet another reason: the Court's statement that the proposed use of the school's facilities is constitutional because (among other things) it would not signal endorsement of religion in general. Ante, at 10. What a strange notion, that a Constitution which itself gives "religion in general" preferential treatment (I refer to the Free Exercise Clause) forbids endorsement of religion in general. The Attorney General of New York not only agrees with that strange notion, he has an explanation for it: "Religious advocacy," he writes, "serves the community only in the eyes of its adherents and yields a benefit only to those who already believe." Brief for Respondent Attorney General 24. That was not the view of those who adopted our Constitution, who believed that the public virtues inculcated by religion are a public good. It suffices to point out that during the summer of 1789, when it was in the process of drafting the First Amendment, Congress enacted the famous Northwest Territory Ordinance of 1789, Article III of which provides, "Religion, morality, and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall forever be encouraged." 1 Stat. 52 (emphasis added). Unsurprisingly, then, indifference to "religion in general" is not what our cases, both old and recent, demand. See, e. g., Zorach v. Clauson, 343 U.S. 306, 313-314 (1952) ("When the state encourages religious instruction or cooperates with religious authorities by adjusting the schedule of public events to sectarian needs, it follows the best of our traditions"); Walz v. Tax Comm'n of New York City, 397 U.S. 664 (1970) (upholding property tax exemption for church property); Lynch, 465 U. S., at 673 (the Constitution "affirmatively mandates accommodation, not merely tolerance, of all religions . . . . Anything less would require the `callous indifference' we have said was never intended" (citations omitted)); id., at 683 ("our precedents plainly contemplate that on occasion some advancement of religion will result from governmental action"); Marsh, supra; Presiding Bishop, supra (exemption for religious organizations from certain provisions of Civil Rights Act).
For the reasons given by the Court, I agree that the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment forbids what respondents have done here. As for the asserted Establishment Clause justification, I would hold, simply and clearly, that giving Lamb's Chapel nondiscriminatory access to school facilities cannot violate that provision because it does not signify state or local embrace of a particular religious sect.
One of the things that I have always detested about my profession is that too often the law is used to accomplish what cannot be accomplished at the ballot box. A significant faction among American elites wish to drive religion from the public square. A solid majority of the American people disagree. Therefore the Constitution is contorted, by such judicial contrivances as the Lemon test, and twisted to arrive at an end that would never receive popular approval in elections. Our most precious civil right is our right to govern ourselves and cases like the Cranston mural case chip away at that civil right each and every day and transform government by the consent of the governed into government by the consent of judges. The Founding Fathers, who viewed the Judiciary as "the least dangerous branch" to liberty, would be flabbergasted at this development.

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has been cleared of taking bungs in an offshore tax dodge.
Redknapp's hopes of leading the England team received a major boost as he walked free from court. Jurors accepted Redknapp's angry denials that he avoided tax on any payments over £189,000 found in a Monaco account.
His acquittal alongside co-defendant Milan Mandaric blows the final whistle on a five-year £8 million police investigation which failed to yield a single conviction. Mandaric and former Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie were also cleared of £600,000 tax dodge claims at a previous trial, it can be reported for the first time.

Spice up your market with some good tips
Dried spices for local sale Cue: What would our food taste like without flavouring? Can you imagine biltong without chilli? Or relish without pepper? In Zimbabwe, Busani Bafana investigates how restaurants use herbs and spices in their cooking to enhance the flavour in the food. Busani spoke to John Daines, owner of the Art Groove restaurant in Bulawayo, to find out more. As he discovers, if no spices and herbs are available in the market ? there are no alternatives. Nothing can replace the flavour or the colour that particular herbs and spices have. So, for smallscale farmers who produce them, there is a niche market. The secret is finding out more about it. If you are a smallscale farmer producing herbs and spices for the local market, listen in for a tour around the Art Grove restaurant to spice up your market ? and hear some good tips about what restaurants near you might be after. IN: ?We use both herbs and? OUT: ?fine or a coarse granule.? DUR?N: 5?54? BACK ANNOUNCEMENT: That was Busani Bafana speaking to John Daines at the Art Groove restaurant in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. If you are a smallscale farmer producing herbs and spices for local sale, find out what restaurants near you might want. You could see your market improve. The interview comes from a resource pack produced by CTA. Transcript Daines We use both herbs and spices as ingredients for a lot of our meals to enhance the flavour of our dishes and when we purchase these spices and herbs we look at what is available at the market at the time. Bafana Where do you buy your dried spices and your herbs? Daines We buy them wherever we can. Sometimes it is in a supermarket, sometimes it is at a wholesale centre in Bulawayo or often than not we get them in from Harare. Bafana Is this close to your restaurant?Is this, say, down the road or several kilometres away from your restaurant? Daines Yes, it can be as close as just around the corner. We buy what we can and what is available at the time. Bafana What standards, then, do you expect from your suppliers of dried spices and herbs? Daines From a herb point of view when we are looking at the different herbs that are available we look at the colour and obviously a herb is very much of a green colour because everything is a leaf, whether it can be chives, whether it can be rosemary or oregano, we have mint, herbs like that obviously the brighter and the green, the fresher they are. If they are brown and dull and yellow we know that they have been sitting for an age. And from a spice point of view if we look at something like paprika we are looking at the redness, a strong red colour is absolutely important as opposed to a yellow and orange colour. And the same for if we purchase something like chilli, we look at the hot, the hotness, I do not know if that is good English but we want to burn the mouth when we buy that! If it is dull in flavour we know that it is not of good quality. Bafana How then have you actually maintained these standards that you talked about? Daines I think we just use sight and smell really when we look at these products. We know what we are looking for when we are buying and we just make sure that that is what we look for otherwise we just leave it. You know it is really important that we get good quality. Bafana What opportunities are there for smallscale farmers to supply businesses like yours? Daines One of the most common herbs that we purchase at this moment is something very simple called mixed herbs and it is just a basic mixture of dried herbs like oregano, marjoram, basil and those types of herbs and that is a very common ingredient to enhance the flavour of whether it is a soup or whether it is a gravy or a sauce or your meat and you actually simply cannot find it at the moment and we find ourselves actually purchasing the individual herb and rubbing and mixing them together. Bafana What kind of spices and herbs do you buy? Daines From the herbs I have already mentioned that there is basil, there is oregano, there is mint, there is chives, there is a whole array of herbs that are being used and on the spices side we have what a natural spice is like your paprika, like turmeric which is a root, like cumin, chilli, Bird?s-eye chilli which is the very small chilli which is really, really hot and then we can also get a blend of spices. Bafana When these certain types of spices and herbs that you mentioned are not available, are there any alternatives? Daines No, there are no alternatives, you know they enhance the flavour of your food and if it is not there you just have to go without. Bafana Do you buy in bulk or say even for a month supply or a week?s supply? Daines It can be like that even longer because you do not know when you are going to see it next. Bafana How long have you been buying these products yourself? Daines Well herbs and spices have been around for generations and I do not think there is not one restaurant or even a household that does not use them. Bafana What of the packaging of the spices and the herbs and could the packaging influence the reason to buy or not to buy? Daines Obviously the packaging can play an important part but I think we are not interested in the packaging because all it does is enhances the price. Bafana What is your advice to smallscale farmers who want to start selling dried spices and herbs but have no clue of where to begin? Daines I think that a little bit of investigating, they will see that there is a market and they just need to do a little bit of homework. Bafana I have been interviewing John away from the crowd actually of the restaurant but right now we will actually move into behind the scenes where the food is prepared so I can maybe sample some of these spices. SFX Kitchen Bafana We are actually behind the scenes in John?s restaurant, where he prepares the meals, and he is about to explain to us about all the spices that he uses. John, go ahead. Daines This is a product called turmeric and it is a very much yellow spice as you can see and this is actually made from a root and it is purely used for colour and it has no flavour. Bafana For what meals do you use it with? Daines Well very much it is used for curries and spiced Indian food. This one is black peppercorns, this is one that is used everywhere, it is the most simplest spice that we get and it is just basically used as a flavouring. It is left on our tables in the restaurant and it is very much used as an ingredient in our kitchen. Bafana It has a very strong aroma? There is black pepper and white pepper? Daines Black and white pepper and I know in South Africa you can get red and green as well just to enhance the colour as well. Bafana You also feel the texture of the spices? Daines Not really. Bafana Not really? Daines No, everything is ground very finely here and that is what we are looking at so that we don?t see any residue in the product that we are making, so it blends into the meal. Bafana So tell me, do these spices come already prepared, you don?t grind them yourself here? Daines Very much they come prepared except, obviously, for the peppercorns, which we can grind ourselves to how we want it, whether it?s a fine or a coarse granule. End of track

NEW HYDE PARK, N.Y. (AP) — A commuter train has derailed east of New York City after it hit a work train on the tracks.
A spokesman for the Long Island Rail Road says the eastbound train derailed east of New Hyde Park just after 9 p.m. Saturday.
A spokesman for New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says 11 people have been taken to hospitals. He says none of the injuries are life-threatening.
The Democratic governor says about 600 people were on the train when it crashed.
LIRR spokesman Sal Arena says the first three cars of the 12-car train derailed. He says the work train caught fire after the crash.
Photos shared on social media show part of the train off the rails and tilted at an angle.
Train service has been suspended in both directions.

We biologists aren't here in the Mara to appreciate its beauty, however. We're here to find hyenas. And when the view from the car most days looks a little something like this:
|Grass, grass and more grass.
For most of my month in Serena Camp, we were unable to find the communal den of one of our three study clans, South Clan. Every observation session in South territory became a three-hour-long game of Where's Waldo, only if Waldo was lower to the ground, the exact same color as the surrounding landscape, and very good at hiding in tall grass, rock fields, and clumps of bushes that our cars can't drive through.
In times like these we rely on our radio tracking equipment. Several of our hyenas in each clan are fitted with some very fashionable collars, like so:
|Taj Mahal, sporting her lovely jewelry.
|One of our cars with the aforementioned fancy antennas.
But on one fortuitous occasion, we didn't need tracking at all. In the distance we happened to spot several hyenas standing around a mound. Then we got very lucky: one of those hyenas happened to have a young cub who popped out of a hole in the ground as we approached and began to nurse.
|Clovis and the newest South Clan member, Wasabi!
|You have no idea how happy we are to meet you, cubs!

First off, let me say happy new year to all my dedicated readers. While 2010 wasn't the most prolific blogging year, it was a crazy year both professionally and personally. Not only did I shoot over 70 projects this year I moved out west to San Francisco.
I know you're thinking, "Hey Blake, 70 projects my ass, you only posted like 5 of them" and my response is, I'm sorry and I was a little busy traveling like crazy and making tons of stunning images. Good news is 2011 will be just as exciting and I'm really going to try hard to get back in to the blogging habit. I'm already working on several blog posts I hope to share in the coming days and weeks. Until then, happy new year and enjoy this night shot from Aspen!
I'll still say it, "Only 70!?!"
I think you could have easily pulled out 80-90 if you had pushed yourself a bit more.
Ok fine, that's a lot especially since most were 2-5 days long.
Looking forward to more posts in 2011.

Alexandre Lacazette Thinks Lyon Prepared to Sell
Alexandre Lacazette Thinks Lyon Prepared to Sell
Lyon forward Alexandre Lacazette thinks the club will sell him in the finish of year when the right offer arrives.
Lacazette was heavily associated with a escape from the Stade de Gerland before the beginning of the growing season.
After scoring 25 goals to date inside a season by which he skipped almost per month as a result of recent leg injuries, Lacazette will probably be a warm commodity again, with Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool all stated to become interested in the France worldwide.
@BrazilStats If PSG do go for a forward anytime soon, I'd prefer to see a Frenchman arrive. Lacazette for example.
— Jonathan Johnson (@Jon_LeGossip) March 3, 2015
"This past year, after i had been spoken about regarding a potential transfer, that worried me since i battled to cope with all of the speculation that was of all the sides," Lacazette told OL TV.
"My goal has become to complete my favorite this year and also at the finish of year we shall see.
"I understand that several clubs are watching me, however i will consider whether I wish to leave or stay afterwards therefore we shall see.
"Right now I am unable to say should i be remaining or otherwise, if a golf club puts some countless euros up for grabs, obama will most likely let me know to depart.Inch

Dog Lamp is a hoot
by Edwin
Most dogs evoke the emotion of "Awww, isn't he adorable?", and this Dog Lamp is no exception. Other than being a great conversation starter, it also works great in lighting up your room.
No matter how hard you might try, and no matter which hole you stick the light bulb in, a normal dog just can't seem to light your living room like a conventional lamp. Well, now the world can be proven wrong with the Dog Lamp!
Would you drop £74.99 for this pooch?
