Hurricane Sandy led to one of Long Island's worst environmental disasters ever, if not the worst. Sandy's massive storm surge flooded hundreds of South Shore homes. Fuel oil tanks broke loose and floated away, spilling oil as they went. Cars were flooded as well, which sent a witches' brew of chemicals spilling out. Sewage leaked from the Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant. more
In the chaotic weeks after Hurricane Sandy rolled across Nassau County, residents, desperate for the gasoline that was in such short supply, learned a new routine: get up before dawn and get to an open gas station before your friends and neighbors did. more
Last week, Governor Cuomo unveiled his 2013-14 budget. He proposed to increase school aid statewide by 3 percent while keeping overall state spending growth under 2 percent. more
The effort to rebuild our communities after Hurricane Sandy's devastation has not been without a sense of urgency, especially when it comes to reconstructing homes and critical infrastructure "stronger, smarter and safer." more

Some doctors tell us that us "time heals all wounds," but for the victims of Hurricane Sandy, a great deal remains to be done, and the public has to be reminded of it as often as possible. more
Hurricane Sandy attacked without mercy, leaving more than a million Long Islanders without power and wrecking tens of thousands of homes near the shoreline. Then a second disaster struck. more
Storms of epic proportions are a challenge to everyone near or directly affected by them. more
The hurricane-force winds and the mountainous storm surge are now just bad memories, but in many areas of the Heralds' coverage area, Hurricane Sandy's consequences will live on for weeks, months or years. more


text: How Soil Drives Variable Rate Population August 6, 2013 12:00 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Ellie Murphy Farm Journal Media Intern Email The foundation for variable rate planting is directly under foot. Farm Journal's Associate Field Agronomist Missy Bauer discusses a few soil characteristics that can help determine a planting population in Episode 9 of Corn College TV Season 3. Darker, heavier soil can handle greater populations because it has higher water holding capacity and exchange capacity with more organic matter. The lighter, sandier soils should be planted with a lower population that won't require as much water or nutrients throughout the season. (Click here to order Corn College TV Education Series on DVD.) As with all crop management techniques, planting at the right population will prevent an emergency situation later in the season. Being proactive is the cheapest way to avoid a bad situation. Bauer notes, "When you're trying to manage water, what are things that are in your control? You can't control Mother Nature but you can certainly control population." Learn more about how variable rate technology affects water management in Episode 9 of Corn College TV Season 3 below.

Well, here it is. The promised pig butchering post. Please be aware that the images in this post are upsetting–even to those of us that eat meat–and I encourage you to not look at this post if you don't want to see a dead animal/some blood. We are choosing to share this story and these photos because we want to discuss with you, our brave readers, what it really means to be an omnivore. Most of the world consumes meat products daily without a second thought to where it came from/what the life and death of that animal was like. If these photos disturb you, then please take a moment to think very carefully about where the meat you eat comes from–or whether or not you even want to eat meat at all–because I assure you that this is about as "nice" as it gets in the world of animal slaughter.
First and foremost, we want to say THANK YOU to our friends Jenn and Trevor, who helped us with the entire process. They arrived bright and early in their work pants and mud boots, sipping coffee, and they didn't leave until well after dark when the very last pork chop was wrapped and taped and laid to rest in the freezer. You guys are amazing and I don't know what we would have done without you! Thank you.
Mike prepared for this day by helping to butcher a hog at a nearby farm and reading nearly every book ever written on the subject. While we intended to prepare some of the traditional American cuts, we also wanted to prepare the meat for some of our favorite traditional Spanish and Italian specialties. Doing so requires a slightly different approach to the butchering process.
While you can gain nearly all of the knowledge you will need to properly butcher a hog from books (this one helped us immensely: Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking, and Curing) and YouTube videos, nothing beats experience. Any kind of butchering experience will help, but knowing and seeing the anatomy of the hog and understanding the natural anatomical guides would be very difficult without experiencing the process firsthand. Mike had previous experience from butchering deer but stressed that it is both figuratively and literally, "a different animal."
It's not the same thing as hunting. When you hunt deer, you're not killing an animal that you have an emotional connection to. And most of the time you're physically removed from them as well–too far away to see their eyes or hear them breathing their last breath. When we killed our pig, we were kneeling right next to her. We petted her and thanked her for her life. She was eating breakfast, and then it was all over. Mike used a gun and she dropped immediately.
We all cried. But I was–even then–struck by how fast it all went and how humane it seemed. She was alive, and then she wasn't.
After the hardest part was done, I was overcome with energy and the desire to get to work. There's something therapeutic about physical labor, but I think what I was feeling was more than just a desire to distract myself. I didn't want any of the meat to go to waste. I wanted us to do the very best job we possibly could, to honor her life.
The first task at hand was to move the carcass over to the scalding tank, dip it in, and scrape the hair off. Seeing as she was about 345 lbs, this was a job for the tractor. Trevor and Mike wound wire around the legs, clipped the wire to a pallet on the front of the tractor, and slowly transported her to the tank.
The water needs to be around 165F for scalding hair. We built a fire under the tank to heat the water, and then kept it from getting too hot by running cold hose water into it now and then.
We submerged the carcass until the hair pulled easily from the rough part of the shoulder, and then it was time to start scraping. The tool for scraping off hair is called a bell scraper, and it is your friend. A knife would work in a pinch, but the bell scraper makes this tedious job go much smoother. It is only necessary to remove the hair from the sections that you want to keep the skin-on (some ham and bacon recipes require this). You can filet the skin off of the rest.
Once most of the hair was removed, we cleaned the skin with the hose and moved the carcass over to the barn. This was an exciting moment because it was when we finally were able to weigh her and see how big she was. I guessed 325, Mike guessed 320. She was 345 lbs!
Mike made the first cut, down the center of the belly, so we could remove the organs. This part was fascinating. The insides were so clean and beautiful. Anatomy has always interested me, and it was so neat to get to touch every organ and examine them up close. Bodies are amazing.
We removed the liver and heart and packaged them for the freezer. We then pulled out the small and large intestines and removed the sheath from around them (an external lining that fixes the organs in place.) We squeezed any remaining contents out of the intestines, ran fresh water through them with the hose, turned them inside out and soaked them in water. They are then placed in a salt brine for storage until they are used as casings for sausage.
The small intestines are generally used for fresh sausages like bratwurst and chorizo and are fully edible, while the large intestine is used for traditional European recipes like Soppresata and other salumi varieties. The large intestine is generally not eaten, but used as a casing that is peeled away upon consumption. They are commonly called hog middles.
After removing the head and jowel meat, Mike and Trevor sawed the carcass in half so we could start to section it into the different cuts of meat: hams, belly, picnic ham, shoulder, etc. This was an exhausting job, as you're cutting through bone. At this step, many folks follow the process similar to butchering a deer–removing limbs and cutting away pieces from the carcass while it hangs. There is no right or wrong method, really. However for our purposes, "halving" the hog was best. We wanted to end up with bone-in porkchops, which require this step. It also allows you to lay the half-hog on a table and to methodically partition it into its respective cuts.
Jenn and Trevor worked on skinning the parts of the carcass where we didn't need the skin on while Mike cut up the other half on the butchering table. Skinning portions of the hog allow you to gather back fat, which can ultimately be turned into lard, or even more preferably, used in sausage. As Mike would finish each cut, he would pass the meat to me and I'd package them in layers of freezer paper, tape each one tightly, and label them.
This is the pork belly, which is what bacon and Pancetta are made of. In this photo Mike is sectioning the ham {hind leg} away from the belly. The ham can be used for American-Style glazed holiday ham or can be made into your own version of Italian Prosciutto or Spanish Iberían Ham. It is best to use a giant meat clever and a mallet instead of a bone/meat saw. A saw tears the meat while a clever leaves a clean cut.
This is what one of the hams looked like after it was packaged. HUGE!! I could barely lift it! It is okay to freeze hams that you intend to cure and/or hot smoke, though if you intend to salt and air-dry a ham (Prosciutto) then it is best done fresh.
This is what over 300 lbs of meat looks like in the freezer…When it was all said and done, we only had about 20 lbs of waste. The only parts we did not use were the head, the stomach and the gall-bladder (all of which we could have used, but we're not particularly fond of the products they make–such as Head Cheese.) It felt really great to have so little waste! The fact that every part of a pig's body is useful and edible is the main reason it is the most popular meat animal in the world.
The next steps for us are to render the lard we saved, cure the cuts that need curing–such as the belly and hams–and to make different kinds of sausage. We will follow up with posts about these projects soon, so stay tuned!
So tell us…after seeing the process from beginning to end, how do you feel about eating pork? I'm anxious to hear your thoughts. I'll leave you with the closing point that it is our belief that this pig's life (and death) was much more humane than it would have been in a commercial slaughter-house.

I realize he is what he is for fantasy purposes. But he is the Royals best overall hitter with close to a .400 OBP.
Why the hell do they have him batting 5th. He's on base all the time and has nobody batting behind him. Wouldn't you want to switch him and Hosmer, so at least Hosmer has somebody to drive in. I realize he's slow and might clog the bases, but you have 4 guys batting in front of him that don't even have a .350 Obp.
Any Royals fans have a thought on this.

DOG owners across the borough are being urged to donate unwanted dogs to the police.
German Shepherds, Rottweilers and cross breeds are all being sought by Greater Manchester Police.
It comes as GMP begins a course of dog training for new animals destined to be an additional arm of crime fighting.
The dogs, if suitable, will take part in a 13-week course with a new handler where they will be trained in basic obedience, searching open areas of land and buildings for people, tracking on a long line, searching for items of property in different environments and chasing and detaining suspects.
Martin Almond, team leader for GMP's Dog Training Unit, said: "We train dogs every day and have now come to the stage where we are in need of new dogs for the team.
"Those dogs that are given to us by the public are initially assessed in terms of their overall demeanour and ability to play and bond with a handler.
"We are looking for either German Shepherds, Rottweilers or cross breeds of the two, aged 12 to 18 months who have a good temperament and are willing to play games with a ball or other dog toys.
"It may sound like a lot to ask but we do have a high failure rate as many of the dogs we are given just aren't suitable for policing duties.
"Those dogs that complete their training programme are then paired with a handler and become part of the operational team.
"All operational dogs live with their handler and become part of their family."
Anyone wanting to find out more or to check if their dog is suitable is asked to contact Dog Training Unit on 0161 856 1791.

Can a 19-year-old who works full time stay on the parent's plan? I've heard that if the child has a job, he can't stay on your plan. I've kept my son on and so far, no questions asked. But I'm afraid he will get kicked off retroactively, and then what would we do?
Keeping Quiet
Dear Keeping Quiet,
Your plan, if it qualifies as "grandfathered", can refuse to cover children who have a group plan offered to them from their own employer. It's not just that the child has a job; the job has to also offer him a group health plan. Your plan may have qualified as "grandfathered" in the past, but it probably no longer does: very few plans are still grandfathered in 2013. Ask your boss or the human resource person. If your plan does refuse to cover him and they go so far as to back date the change, you could always buy COBRA coverage for that period if you wanted to.
Assuming your plan is not grandfathered, your 19-year-old can be covered. Then the relevant question is whether it is cheaper to carry him on your plan or on his employer's plan. His employer may pay for most or all of the cost for the single employee. If there are other younger children on your plan, then dropping the 19-year-old won't save any you money. Most plans charge for children, and not per child.
You may want to drop him from your plan and have him join his own employer's plan, just to make him more independent from you. That's a parenting issue, not a health insurance issue.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced the results of the request for referendum on the Soybean Promotion and Research Program (soybean checkoff).
USDA received only 759 request for referendum forms at county Farm Service Agency Offices, which reflects approximately one tenth of one percent of all eligible U.S. soybean farmers. Had 10 percent of the 589,182 eligible farmers — with no more than one-fifth of the 10 percent coming from any one state — requested a referendum, the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture would have conducted the referendum on the soybean checkoff within 12 months.
USDA requires a soybean checkoff request for referendum period every five years. The most recent period took place from May 4 to May 29.
"These results reaffirm that U.S. soybean farmers strongly support our soybean checkoff," says USB Chairman Chuck Myers, a soybean farmer from Lyons, Neb. "Our effective, efficient and farmer-driven program will continue to strive to maximize the return on investment of each checkoff dollar to ensure that U.S. soy is the highest quality and most competitive in the global marketplace."
Farmers certifying they paid the checkoff, which is one-half of one percent of the price per bushel sold, at any time during a period beginning Jan. 1, 2007, and ending Dec. 31, 2008, were eligible to participate in the petition for a referendum. Eligible farmers who did not want a referendum did not need to take any action.
USDA requested and approved a notification plan by USB to inform U.S. soybean farmers about the request for referendum period. USB placed paid request for referendum notifications in national agricultural publications and 30 regional and state agricultural publications. USB also distributed the notification to all Qualified State Soybean Boards and the news media. In addition, USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service and Farm Service Agency distributed information about the request for referendum period.
"Farmer-leaders of the soybean checkoff are very pleased to have this validation of the effectiveness of the soybean checkoff program," Myers added. "All leaders within the U.S. soybean industry should join us and the overwhelming majority of U.S. soybean farmers to help ensure ongoing success of the U.S. soybean industry in this increasingly competitive marketplace."
USB is made up of 68 farmer-directors who oversee the investments of the soybean checkoff on behalf of all U.S. soybean farmers. Checkoff funds are invested in the areas of animal utilization, human utilization, industrial utilization, industry relations, market access and supply. As stipulated in the Soybean Promotion, Research and Consumer Information Act, USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service has oversight responsibilities for USB and the soybean checkoff.

The apartment complex houses several inconsiderate tenants and with the recent change in management, things ar Read Moree improving.These difficult tenants are being held accountable and I am hopeful this will continue. I recommend when new tenants move in that the office staff take the time to physically walk them throughout the property, such as showing where the rubbish room is located, verbally explain rubbish room etiquette, when garage level dumpster is located.

In human clinical trials, Resveratrol safely supports brain health and memory functions. Resveratrol may help support blood sugar already within a normal range and may support the health of the pancreas. Resveratrol may support energy production in athletes, aging people, and in people with metabolic conditions including blood sugar issues, and may act as a safety net for the health of overweight individuals. Resveratrol helps support heart and circulatory health and may support healthspan and possibily lifespan. Resveratrol may help support lung and thyroid health, as well.*
Resveratrol is a compound found naturally in the skins of red grapes and grape juice. It is commonly known as the red wine antioxidant, but this is due to its dark pigment rather than the alcohol content. Red wine has known health benefits, mainly because of its antioxidant content. However, calories in red wine do not need to be metabolized and become stored as belly fat. Alcohol is also corrosive to the stomach and toxic to the liver.
Quercetin, a flavonoid found in healthy foods, and Grape Seed Extract are include, as they are found in foods with Resveratrol. Research indicates they may amplify the benefits and each capsule supplies 100mg of the active form Trans-Resveratrol.
For great discounts, a superb assortment of top-grade nutraceuticals and nutritional supplements, and access to our professional nutritionists, look no further – great health starts right here at InVite® Health. To ask a question or to purchase your Resveratrol Supplements, call us today at (800) 632-0541 or click here to find a store near you!
Suggested Usage: As a dietary supplement, take one (1) capsule one to three times a day, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

He has spent his professional life analyzing nutritional information and medical studies with the aim of creating the highest quality and most natural nutraceuticals for user's maximum health benefits. Here, Jerry speaks about the benefits of Resveratrol…
Resveratrol is back in the news, and it's about prostate cancer this time. Researchers from MIT and Harvard have proven that resveratrol absolutely affects an enzyme called SIRT1, Sirtuin 1. There are seven mammalian sirtuin enzymes, seven of them, and they relate to the genes that protect you from really devastating diseases. Studies show that resveratrol affects the SIRT1 gene with breast cancer. It shows that resveratrol affects the SIRT1 gene with brain health and maintain your memory as you get older and prevents crucial damage to the brain as you get older. It shows that the SIRT1 gene and the SIRT3 gene help protect men's prostate. These genes help to lower the risk of diabetes, heart disease and bone loss. I mean, one thing after another, the genes and the enzymes that are involved with are very important, and they've proven recently that resveratrol absolutely affects the SIRT1 gene and the SIRT1 enzyme and the SIRT3 gene and SIRT3 enzyme. That's very important information because that gives you reasons that you can believe in.
So, here's a study where they show that SIRT1 affects c-Myc. c-Myc is a tumor suppressing gene, and SIRT1 affects c-Myc, and this in turn, is protective. c-Myc activity, is involved with many breast cancers, colon cancer and liver cancer. When you affect c-Myc, it has an effect on all these different cancers. Now, recently, the University of Missouri was looking at resveratrol because they said they know resveratrol improves the influence of chemotherapy on prostate cancer cells. So, now, they want to find out if resveratrol improved the activity of radiation on prostate cancer cells. So, this is important information, and we've known inklings of it for over a decade now. There have been studies going back about 10 years showing that resveratrol helps to pull away many of the defensive mechanisms of cancer cells. There are many hundreds of studies going on with resveratrol because it's so promising and because it affects so many things in a positive way.
So, here's what they write. Resveratrol has been shown to have several beneficial effects in human health. Now, University of Missouri researchers have discovered that the compound can make prostate tumor cells more susceptible to radiation treatment, increasing the chances of a full recovery from all types of prostate cancer including aggressive tumors. Now, here's what they're going to say. Other studies have noted that resveratrol made tumor cells more susceptible to chemotherapy and we wanted to see if it had the same effect for radiation therapy, according to Michael Nicholl. He's an assistant professor of surgical oncology at the University of Missouri's School of Medicine. So, he said, "Hey, we've seen that resveratrol makes chemotherapy work better on cancer cells like prostate cancer cells. Will it do the same thing for radiation?" Then he says, "We found that when exposed to resveratrol, the prostate tumor cells were more susceptible to radiation treatment, but that the effect was greater than just treating with both compounds separately." So, they found that there was a compatibility here, that there was actually an effect between resveratrol and radiation, a synergism. Synergy means one on one. Instead of adding up the two, you can add up to three or four or five. That's a good synergy. So, for instance, if you drink green tea and exercise, you have healthier bones and muscles than either just drinking green tea or just exercising. There's this real nice additive effect. Here they're finding the same thing: when you add resveratrol to radiation, that works better than resveratrol or radiation alone and the effects are much stronger.
They took prostate cancer out of humans and exposed it to resveratrol, then heated it with radiation, and the radiation was much stronger, much more effective than using the radiation alone. It was really killing the prostate cancer. According to Michael Nicholl, the assistant professor of surgical oncology at the University of Missouri School of Medicine, we found that when exposed tumors to the resveratrol compound, the tumor cells were more susceptible to radiation treatment. They said that prostate tumor cells contain very low levels of two proteins, perforin and granzyme B. Now, these are two important proteins because they protect you and me. These function together and kill prostate cancer cells. In fact, they kill a lot of different cancer cells. But you need a lot of these proteins to be released to kill the prostate tumor cells.
In his study, when Dr. Nicholl introduced resveratrol into the prostate cancer cells, the activity of the two proteins increased greatly. So, following radiation treatment, Dr. Nicholl also found that up to 97% of the tumor cells died, which is a much higher percentage than treatment with radiation alone. That's pretty interesting stuff. He said it is critical that both proteins, perforin and granzyme B, are present in order to kill the tumor cells, and we found that resveratrol helped to increase their activity in prostate tumor cells. Nicholl said following the resveratrol radiation treatment, "We realize that we're able to kill many more tumor cells when compared with treating the tumor with radiation alone." It's important to know that this killed all types of prostate tumor cells including aggressive tumor cells. He also said you need large doses to get enough to the prostate cancer. Interesting stuff.
There's a lot of research coming out on resveratrol right now. There are three very interesting studies going on in the United States. One is about protecting the aging brain, one is in Alzheimer's patients, and if I'm correct about that, that has 30 university medical centers in that study including Georgetown and the University of Florida at Gainesville. And then, there's one about boxers, which is a fascinating study. Boxers get hit in the head just like football players, just like hockey players, just like soccer players, just like kids on skateboards, and when they have multiple concussions, later on in life, they develop a serious disease where their brain unravels and they become hostile, they become depressed, and eventually, it can kill him. It's like Lou Gehrig's disease. Now, they're taking boxers after a match and they're giving them resveratrol and using MRIs (magnetic resonance imagees) to see if the resveratrol prevents damage in the brain and triggers healing in the brain. They suspect it's going to do both. They suspect if they take the boxers right after a boxing match, and they give them resveratrol sufficient to get into the brain, it has to be sufficient, that one, it's going to help prevent worsening damage to their brain and, two, it's going to trigger healing in the brain. There is very fascinating stuff going on with resveratrol right now; I have a lot of confidence in resveratrol, I really do.
I'm going to read studies on resveratrol and the heart. There's been a number of studies like this, by the way. This is in the Journal of Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy. Seventy-five patients, they put them on resveratrol for six months. The resveratrol also had some grape seeds, some grape ingredients. I have to tell you, when you buy resveratrol, make sure it has some grape seed and some quercetin. Those are the things of nature that make the resveratrol work better. So, they gave them resveratrol or inactive placebo for half a year. Then, they extended the study to a whole year. They were getting great results. On the resveratrol, there was a 10% increase in adiponectin. Now, adiponectin is involved with healthy blood sugar. Adiponectin is involved with health in the pancreas. Maybe, that's why the study is showing that resveratrol is good for the pancreas. Adiponectin reduces inflammation in the arteries in the heart and really strongly protects the liver from fatty liver damage. They said this in the study, by the way.
So, there was a 10% improvement in adiponectin levels. That's interesting because, as people gained weight, adiponectin levels go down, and that's one reason why they start to develop sugar issues, that's one of the reasons why they start to get fatty infiltration of the liver. So, when they gave these patients a real resveratrol, backed up with a grape seed extract, they showed that there were improvements in the health of their blood sugar and their liver. But listen to this, their PAI-1 level dropped by 20%. In six months, their PAI-1 level dropped by 20%. Now, that's really important. Plasminogen activating inhibiting factor type 1 prevents you from breaking up blood clots. In other words, if you're developing a blood clot in your brain or in your heart, a stroke or a heart attack, the body tries to break down the blood clot because the blood clots are life-threatening. The number one killer in America is blood clots. The number one killer in the world is blood clots. I don't think you realize that. A blood clot in the heart is a heart attack. A blood clot in the brain is a stroke. What they found is that this was reversing things in heavy people, and people with heart disease that allow them to have blood clots. It was making their blood more normal. I mean, that's an important finding.
Here's a different study. This is the Journal of Molecular Nutrition and Food Research. There are quite a few studies like this, too. They added resveratrol with some grape seed extract to statin drugs for six months. This lowered their bad cholesterol an additional 5% beyond statin drugs, but it also lowered apolipoprotein B by 10%. Now, that's very important. Apolipoprotein B is what gives cholesterol its jelly doughnut effect. I like to quote the jelly doughnut effect. The cardiologist once taught me that. He said, "Jerry, think of cholesterol like with sugar in the blood like a jelly donut." The cholesterol clings on to the heart and causes inflammation and damage and the scar tissue that builds up stiffens the blood vessels and makes it hard for blood to flow to the heart muscle. That's called heart disease. That's called cardiovascular disease or coronary artery disease. There are all different names for it, but it's America's biggest killer. That's the apo B. The apo B allows the cholesterol to stick to the heart. Adding resveratrol to statin drugs reduced that ability by 10%. It also reduced the oxidation of bad cholesterol by 25%. Now, that's another important finding. The oxidation of bad cholesterol is what makes it damaging to the arteries in the heart and the brain in the first place.
Here's a different study. Again, patients on statin drugs. This is the American Journal of Cardiology. They put seventy five patients that had heart disease on statin drugs. They used either resveratrol or a placebo for one year. C-reactive protein dropped by 26%. That's an important finding. C-reactive protein shows that there's inflammation in the heart and arteries and you're developing heart disease. Also, it indicates that the plaque could become unstable. We call this acute coronary syndrome or it could become unstable and cause a heart attack or a stroke. When C-reactive protein is elevated, that means not only are you damaging the heart as we're speaking, but if it's elevated in your blood test, it means that that plaque in the arteries could become unstable and fracture, become herniated, and then, that of course is a heart attack. It lowered that possibility to 26%. Again, it lowered PAI-1 17% in the study over the course of the year. That's the stuff that prevents you from breaking down a blood clot in the heart or in the brain and it lowered IL-6 by 24%, and again, it raised adiponectin levels that protect you from sugar and liver damage. IL-6 is something that damages your arteries and causes a buildup of plaque.
So, resveratrol; three different studies, three different journals show its benefits. It's added to statin drugs like Lipitor, Zocor, or Crestor. You get better results on your lab tests indicating that you're less at risk of having a heart attack or stroke and damaging the arteries inside your heart with this.
Resveratrol: The Red Wine Anti-Aging Antioxidant
What is Resveratrol?
Resveratrol is a phytoalexin, a natural substance that is released by plants to protect them from fungus and other microbes, from extreme temperatures, and from excessive dampness or drought.
Where does Resveratrol come from?
Resveratrol is found in small amounts in the following foods: the skin of the red grape, red wine, peanuts, and in Polygonum cuspidatum (a large perennial plant). This plant supplies the highest level of truly active Trans-Resveratrol.
How can I benefit from Resveratrol Supplements?
Resveratrol is a major manipulator, but in a positive way that offers major health benefits: resveratrol manipulates your genes. Resveratrol slows aging of the important genes in your brain, your heart, and your muscles, which is crucial because these genes are responsible for the health and function of your brain, heart, and other vital organs throughout the aging process. Resveratrol also works as a powerful cellular antioxidant; mediating inflammatory pathways is helpful in the microscopic capillaries. Because of this, Resveratrol has demonstrated a major ability to help protect your heart, circulation, brain, kidneys, pancreas, thyroid and adrenal glands, and many other vital organs and body functions.
In human clinical trials, Resveratrol safely supports brain health and memory functions.

That six-man rotation the New York Mets wanted to establish will not happen. With the need to protect Jon Niese, who came off the disabled list Sunday, and wanting to limit the innings of Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler, the six-man rotation seemed an appropriate way to go.
Of course, six won't work when there are only five pitchers. That's because struggling Jeremy Hefner was optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas to make room for Niese, and could wind up on the disabled list with an elbow problem.
Niese labored in beating the Diamondbacks Sunday, but came out feeling no pain in his shoulder. We'll know more when he reports to Dodger Stadium later.
"I felt good,'' Niese told reporters in Phoenix. "There was no pain. Everything felt good. … Let's see how it feels [Monday].''
Niese, held to a 90-pitch limit, gave up four runs in six innings. Not a quality start, but good enough to win. Niese averaged roughly 90 mph., on his fastball, which has been this season's norm. His next start is scheduled for Aug. 16, at San Diego. The Mets have not placed a pitch count limit for that start, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to keep him on a strict limit for the remainder of the season.
Despite the return to a five-man rotation, GM Sandy Alderson believes both Harvey and Wheeler should be able to close out the season while reaching their innings limit.
METS ROTATION FOR AUGUST: ESPN's Adam Rubin, who is on top of all things Mets, put together their projected rotation for the remainder of the month. Here's what Rubin came up with:
Aug. 12: Jenrry Mejia
Aug. 13: Harvey
Aug. 14: Dillon Gee
Aug. 15: Wheeler
Aug. 16: Niese
Aug. 17: Mejia
Aug. 18: Harvey
Aug. 19: Gee
Aug. 20: Wheeler
Aug. 21: Niese
Aug. 22
Aug. 23: Mejia
Aug. 24: Harvey
Aug. 25: Gee
Aug. 26: Wheeler
Aug. 27: Niese
Aug. 28: Mejia
Aug. 29: Harvey
Aug. 30: Gee
Aug. 31: Wheeler
Of course, there's no accounting for injuries or rainouts, so the rotation could change. It doesn't appear Rafael Montero will be brought up in September because he would be close to reaching his innings limit. However, during the crush of games for the rest of the month, it might be prudent for the Mets to bring him up for a spot start.
Where they slot him could allow for more rest for Harvey and Wheeler. Plus, it gives the Mets a look at one of their top prospects under major league conditions.
It would be a win-win situation.

Breaking News
Kanye West just pulled out the big guns -- getting support from mega music mogul Irving Azoff ... who's calling Jimmy Kimmel "a joke" ... for spoofing Kanye.
Azoff stepped in the middle of the Twitter war today by posting a couple of tweets -- one informed Kimmel that "@kanyewest kicked your ass."
It's impressive backing for Kanye since celebs rarely speak out against each other ... for fear of pissing off someone they might work with in the future.
Hey @jimmykimmel @kanyewest kicked your ass. You look like a joke trying to exploit this.— Irving Azoff (@irvingazoff) September 27, 2013
Then again ... nobody's bigger than Irving ... who, if you don't know, has managed The Eagles, Christina Aguilera, Journey, Fleetwood Mac, Morrissey -- to name a few.
Azoff added another shot at Kimmel ... basically calling him small-time.
By the way, Azoff and Kanye have a clear connection -- Irving is tight with the Kardashians. He even hosted Khloe and Lamar's wedding at his Bev Hills mansion.
@jimmykimmel your low blow comment was uncalled for and shows that you still don't understand the big time.— Irving Azoff (@irvingazoff) September 27, 2013
Jimmy, time to get on the phone. Matt Damon?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Lipscomb track and field teams were split this week between two different meets and the results were positive on both fronts.
Some team members went to Birmingham, Ala., for the Samford Invitational at the Birmingham Crossplex. Another group headed north for the Southern Illinois Invitational.
"It was a good solid weekend for us," head coach Bill Taylor said. "We were a little flat in some areas, and we excelled in others.
"In some aspects it was the opposite of last week, with more action and success on the track, than in the field events. Obviously we want to pull it all together at Atlantic Sun in two weeks."
Christian Freeman and Daniel Gardner both performed well at Samford. Freeman finished third and broke Ryan Chastain's school record in the 3000 meters with a 8:26.64. Gardner was close to breaking the record with a time of 8:31.43, an 11th place finish.
"Those two guys are really leading the team, while we wait for Juan (Gonzalez) and John (Kingstedt) to get back," Taylor said. "I'm really proud of those guys."
Also at Samford Dani Walker was seventh in the 3,000 meters (10:02.22) and Minna Fields was 10th with a time of 10:08.08.
"Dani and Minna ran great in the 300 meters," Taylor said. "Katie Bianchini made a terrific season and college debut with a 5:04 mile.
Madi Talbert ran an Atlantic Sun-leading 17:25 in the 5000 meters.
"Madi really struggled last week, so her performance in the 5000m this week was that much more impressive," Taylor said. "She also ran a faster mile in the DMR, a little after her 5000m, than she ran in the open mile a week ago. So we are really excited for her."
Overall Taylor was happy with the distance and middle distance performances.
"We had our first week of quality workouts of the season last week," Taylor said. "That is enough to get our kids sore, but really doesn't provide any benefits physiologically.
"We are three weeks behind where we have been in any previous season. It's going to pay off in the long run. I was worried about the psychology of our distance runners being behind and racing on no training. They have done amazing, and we will now just get stronger and stronger."
Gemikal Prude continued his early season success in the high jump. He won the event at the Samford meet with an effort of 7-01 feet.
"Coach (Luke) Syverson moved him up to 2.22m after he had the win, trying to move him up in the national rankings," Taylor said. "He had three good misses and showed that it's just a matter of time before he goes even higher.
Kevin Floyd vaulted a season best 14-9 feet.
Tucker Peabody set a school record in the 200 meters, finishing first at Samford with a time of 21.20 seconds.
"Tucker ran strong," Taylor said. "He is just looking for one big drop to get to Nationals."
With all of the success at Samford, Taylor thought the highlight was the 4x400 relay team.
"They took almost three seconds off our indoor school record," Taylor said. "We've been waiting for a breakthrough there. Last week, and the week before, it just didn't click.
"The guys (Peabody, Kenny Smith, Brian Gentry, Colin Dempster) were motivated and committed to putting up a good time this week. The exciting thing is they can run even faster."
At Southern Illinois the distance runners also had a good weekend.
"Barbara Lee Ball moved to third in the A-Sun in the mile with a 5:03," Taylor said. "She doubled back and put up a nice 10:14 in the 3000m to move into seventh in the A-Sun.
"I was also impressed with D.A. Lowery, who put up a solid 8:56 3000m in his first ever 3-K race."
Taylor added that Nelson Scott "put up some nice performances" in a simulated Pentathlon.
"Nelson will be a contender for All-Conference honors in that event," Taylor said.
The A-Sun Indoor Championships are the main goal for the track and field teams. The time for preparation is getting shorter.
"We have one more weekend to fine tune before A-Sun," Taylor said. "I like our progress and effort. Next weekend will be a dress rehearsal. We are moving in a very good direction for the indoor conference championships."

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Lisa Michelle Hatchell disappeared on her 37th birthday: July 19, 2003. She was last seen at 10 p.m. on the street outside the Southwest Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, rowhome she shared with her boyfriend.
Lisa Michelle Hatchell has been missing since her birthday in 2003. Police have looked for her in Georgia.
She and her boyfriend were arguing over money, witnesses told police. Since that night, Hatchell's family and friends have not heard from the mother of two.
Hatchell was a U.S. Army veteran who struggled with drug addiction. But Alonie Watson doesn't think her daughter's drug problem had anything to do with her disappearance.
"She has never disappeared without letting the family know where she is," Watson said. "This is just not like her. I feel in my heart that her disappearance doesn't have anything to do with her taking drugs that night and then running away. She just wouldn't do that."
She worked at the Philadelphia Navy Yard for a while, got married and then divorced. She had been living with her boyfriend, a construction worker, for a dozen years, Watson said.
Her children did not live with them. Her 16-year-old son lived with his father. Her daughter, 7 at the time of Hatchell's disappearance, lived with Watson.
Watson is convinced that her daughter was the victim of foul play.
She said Philadelphia police did not officially open an investigation into her daughter's case until two years after she was reported missing.
And so, her boyfriend was not questioned or their home searched until two years after Hatchell disappeared.
Capt. John Darby, who heads the Philadelphia police department's special victims unit, said the "long-term missing" unit began looking into Hatchell's disappearance in fall 2005. Earlier, the case had been handled by the local precinct. Watch an update on the case
There were two reported sightings of Lisa Hatchell in March 2006, when tipsters placed her at an apartment complex in Atlanta, Georgia.
Philadelphia investigators traveled to Atlanta, but the tips grew cold when an assistant manager at the complex couldn't confirm that she had been living there.
The trail led back to Atlanta in early 2008, when another tipster said she might be working as a waitress. Police are also talking to authorities in New Jersey but have developed no solid leads.
Darby said the boyfriend, Tyrone Henderson, voluntarily took a polygraph test, but the results have not been made public. Watch how Henderson is still considered a person of interest
Henderson, who has moved from the rowhouse he shared with Hatchell, could not be reached. He has not hired a lawyer, police said
Hatchell is described as an African-American female standing 5'4" tall and weighing 135 pounds. She has black hair and black eyes.
When she disappeared, she was wearing her hair in a red weave or braids. She has small scars on her ankles from insect bites and a small scar on her neck. She also has double pierced ears and a birthmark on her right thigh.
Anyone who can provide information on Lisa Michelle Hatchell's whereabouts or the identities of the person or people responsible for her disappearance is asked to call the Philadelphia Police Department at 215-685-3251, 3252 or 3258.

Mangalia is a port city and tourist resort in south-eastern Romania. The area has been inhabited since the neolithic. In the VIII - VI centuries B.C. it was colonised by the Greeks. The name of the city that they built was Callatis. in the year 71 B.C. the Romans conquer Callatis. The city Callatis was abandoned by the 7th century A.D. Instead, starting with the XIIIth century A.D. documents speak of a new city, first called Pangalia, later Mankalia. It is believed that the Turks gaved it its final name - Mangalia, since it was hard for them to pronounce Mankalia.
The beach is 600 meters long and 50-150 meters wide and has a very fine sand; the sea water is not very deep - 1 meter by the shore to 200 meters in the open sea and for this reason it is preferred by the children who cannot swim.
The city divides in 2 sections: Mangalia North that features the resorts Olimp, Neptun, Jupiter, Cap Aurora, Venus, Saturn and Mangalia South that features the commercial harbor as well as the shipyard.
Mangalia is also a balneoclimateric resort. Annual average temperature stand at 11.2 degrees Celsius. Lake Mangalia (who's surface stands at 261 ha) is supplied by rich sulfuric mezothermal water springs. They are employed in treating degenerative rheumatic diseases. Mangalia is the only maritime resort to have mineral water springs!

Apple is going into "full-scale production" of a television in May or June, and will start selling it at the end of the year, says Jefferies analyst Peter Misek in a note this morning.
He's just back from Asia and has more evidence that Apple is doing a TV:
Evidence of commercial iTV production is starting: we believe specialty components have begun to ship to Apple's Asia panel suppliers with polarized films, filters, and IGZO components starting to move in small quantities. We expect commercial production in May/ June with 2M to 5M builds likely. We still expect a CQ4 launch.
He's raising his price target on Apple to $699, up from $599, and raising his estimates for iPhone sales for this quarter. He thinks Apple sells 33.2 million, which is up from his previous estimate of 28 million.
