This is the second section of a booklet that I put together for my father-in-law's 96th birthday. His parents were Clifford Franklin and Bertha Bryan Blackmore. Section two is about Clifford's parents. Future postings will include the other parents and grandparents of Clifford and Bertha and will include Blincow and Doyle surnames. I have also included a small amount of information about the siblings of these direct ancestors.
George Marlin Blackmore and Mary Blincow
George Marlin BLACKMORE was born on 27 March 1865 in Odell, Livingston County, Illinois to Thomas Greenslade Blackmore and Jane Francis Lemon. Sometime in the 1870s George with his family moved to Nebraska. In the 1880 census George and his parents were living in North Platte, Nebraska and in 1885 they were living in McFadden in York County, Nebraska.
George married Mary Elizabeth "Polly" BLINCOW. "Polly" was born on 3 May 1869 in Long Buckby, England. She was the daughter of William A Blincow and Betsy Wikes Howe. This family emigrated from England about 1872.
In 1885 the Blackmore family and the Blincow family lived next to each other in York, Nebraska. Then on 30 December 1887 Polly married George in York. They lived in Nebraska, for a brief time in Kansas as Mattie Hazel was there and then they moved to Colorado.
Mary and George had eight children: Henry Irvin, Clifford Franklin, Ada Florence, Mattie Hazel, Harold Robert, Leonard, Reba Martha and George Raymond Blackmore.
According to different census records, George was a teamster (1900) and a house carpenter (1910) in Granite, Colorado, and a farmer (1920) in Rifle, Colorado. However, in the 1906 Colorado State Business Directory it stated that George M Blackmore owned a meat market. George's brother Calvin owned a meat market in 1896. Did George buy this from his brother Calvin who then moved?
In 1940 George and Mary lived "in town" at 239 Fifth Street, Rifle. George died on 13 November 1949 in Rifle, Garfield County, Colorado and he was buried in November 1949 in Rifle. Polly died on 23 January 1951 and she was also buried in Rifle.
Children of George and Mary Blincow Blackmore
Henry Irvin Blackmore was born on 8 December 1888 in McCool, Nebraska. I believe he died in January 1898 in Granite, Chaffee County, Colorado. No further information is known about him.
Clifford Franklin Blackmore was born on 16 February 1890 in McCool, Nebraska. He married Bertha Jane Bryan on 10 November 1914 in Winchester, California. More complete information about this family is found in the first section of this blog series.
Ada Florence Blackmore was born on 1 November 1891 in Fairmont, Nebraska. By 1900 Ada and her family were living in Granite, Colorado. Ada married Edward Loesch on 29 June 1913 in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. Edward was born on 4 January 1889 in Colorado. His parents were Jacob B Loesch and Julia A Voltz. According to the World War I Draft Registration card, Edward was short, stout and had blue eyes and light brown hair.
Edward and Ada had five children: three boys (Edward Jacob, George Wallace and Russell Eugene) and two girls (Mary Idell and Lois Ada). All of the children were born in Colorado. Edward and Ada lived in Granite County, but according to various census records, their farms were in the towns of Divide, South Rifle and Silt. Edward died on 31 January 1952 in Colorado. Ada died in August 1982 in Rifle, Colorado.
Mattie Hazel Blackmore was born on 4 February 1893 in Colby, Thomas County, Kansas. She married Otis Albert Mallory on 26 July 1914 in Rifle, Colorado. Otis was born on 26 July 1886 in Wills Gulch, Gilpin County, Colorado.
Otis and Mattie had six children, four boys (Albert "Marlin", Clayton Kent, Lloyd Raymond and Gene) and two girls (Phyllis Marie and Mary Margie). Gene died when he was about six weeks old. He is buried in Rose Hill Cemetery. Another son, Albert Marlin died at age 22. He is also buried in this cemetery.
Otis was a farmer but in a 1928 city directory it stated that he and Mattie were living in Grand Junction and he was working for the Holly Sugar Corp.
Then in 1940 Otis was working in Brea, California, for a citrus fruit company. It is unknown how long they lived in California but Otis was listed in the 1948 voter registration list for Orange County, California.
Otis died on 24 October 1949 and he is buried in the Rose Hill Cemetery in Colorado. Mattie died on 4 January 1958 in Brea, Orange County, California.
Harold Robert Blackmore was born on 23 June 1895 in Granite, Colorado. Harold married Florence Moore on 19 November 1923 in Glenwood Springs,Colorado. When looking at postcards, parts of the town look less developed, but Glenwood Springs appears to have been a resort area because the town had at least two large hotels, springs and even a large wood slide for the children to use to go into some water. I don't know if it was a lake or springs though.
In 1930 Harold and Florence were living in Phoenix, Arizona. Florence was a nurse and Harold was a lettuce packer. A 1932 Reno, Nevada, newspaper stated that Florence Blackmore and Harold Blackmore were granted a divorce decree. After the divorce I don't have any more information about Florence.
On 31 December 1935 Harold married Alta Lucine Gwynn in Rifle. Alta was born about 11 September 1913 in Thermopolis, Wyoming. They had no children.
Harold died on 8 March 1979 in Rifle.
Alta died on 11 May 2006 also in Rifle, Colorado. The obituary for Alta ran in four Colorado newspapers. This one is from the Vail Daily News on May 17, 2006
Leonard S Blackmore was born on 4 April 1898 and died a few months later on 26 August 1898, in Granite, Colorado. Leonard was buried in Home of Peace Cemetery in Weld, Colorado.
Reba Martha Blackmore was born on 7 December 1900 in Granite, Colorado. Reba married Emery Clifford Harlow on 14 August 1921 in Meeker, Colorado. Often Emery went by the name Clifford. He was born on 30 November 1898 in Glenwood Springs, Garfield County. From his World War I Draft Registration card it indicated that he was tall and slender and had blue eyes and light brown hair.
Cliff and Reba had one boy Gerald Vincent and one girl Gladys Maxine. Both of them were born in Colorado. Cliff was generally a farmer; however in the 1940 census he was listed as a proprietor of a "Gasoline Filling Station" in Rifle, Colorado. Cliff and Reba both died in Rifle: Cliff on 27 February 1968 and Reba in 1974. They were buried in the Moose Lodge Section of Rose Hill Cemetery in Rifle.
George Raymond Blackmore was born on 17 May 1904 in Granite, Colorado. He married Nettie Wright on 7 March 1928 in Glenwood Springs, Colorado.
Nettie was the daughter of Barnabas Wright and Daisy Raymond and was born on 9 March 1907 in Garfield County. George and Nettie had three children, Harold Elmer, Irene Loraine and Dorothy Rae. Nettie died on 14 January 1956 in Rifle. According to a book written by Clifford F Blackmore, George then married Zella, last name unknown, on 21 February 1960. They probably married in Colorado since it appears that George spent his entire life in that state.
George died on 12 July 1967 in Grand Junction, Colorado. No further information is known about Zella.

First Impressions
Carole reveals what she thought of each of the ladies when they met at Sonja's party.
OK, here goes -- My first blog post as a Housewife!
Let's start at Sonja's gorgeous party with its crinkles and fresh guests. This was where I met everyone, and I was a little freaked out. I forgot that I'm shy. Did you notice? I'm comfortable in most social situations, but meeting Sonja, LuAnn, Heather, and Aviva all at once, so bright and bold, was overwhelming. Also, I didn't know where to put my coat -- where did everyone put their coats? It wasn't clear. There was coat pressure.
The dirty martinis came fast. I actually don't drink much, I had to train for the show. I had to practice doing shots and drinking things dirty and on the rocks. It's not as easy as it looks.
So, first impressions.
LuAnn's like my high school French teacher, strict and proper with great cheekbones. I spoke French once, sort of. I dated a French-Canadian and he texted me in French. I used Google Translate to read them and to convert my English replies back, but the process wore me out. We didn't last.
Sonja is restless and sultry, like Elizabeth Taylor in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. I wonder if she's ever dated anyone named Brick or Paul Newman.
Ramona's fun. I can't look at her without laughing. And the more time I spend with her, the funnier she gets. I nicknamed her "Bunny," as in Energizer. She never stops moving!Heather has a cool, bouncy charm. She's like the girls I wanted to be friends with in high school, but was too geeky to approach.
Aviva lights the room like a rainbow (spoiler alert: there's rainbow talk later on!) She's tall and stunning and I was drawn to her -- who wouldn't be? Plus, she read my book! I'm easy. Writers spend a lot of time in cramped spaces, all alone, mostly slowly going mad. Once in a blue moon we stumble onto someone who's read our work and we love them. It was a gift to hear her thoughts. She also had the best line of that party. You're cool as a cat.
OK, now a pop quiz. This is important. During that first scene, Aviva and I were having a serious conversation about my book and she brought up a passage about a cross. It was a birthday gift my late husband got for me, a beautiful diamond cross that he bought before he died then gave to a friend to give to me on my birthday, in case he wasn't there. He wasn't, and my friend gave me the cross. It is a poignant scene and memory, and Aviva was touched by it. So after she brought up that story, which of the below do you think was my reaction?
A. Outraged, I flipped the table.
B. Crushed, I had a meltdown.
C. Confused, I broke into a rambling monologue in French.
D. Drunk, I swigged some more of Ramona's pinot grigio.
E. Moved by her reaction, I hugged her.Through the magic of television, it seems I am completely indifferent to what she's saying and instead momentarily obsessed with my breasts. The first person to tweet what actually happened will win speed-reading lessons from Ramona.
(I LOVE kids!)
Moving on. I didn't get a pedicure, but was surprised to learn that Eric Clapton has the same bag for his pool cue as Aviva does for her leg. Who would've guessed? And Aviva's ex, Harry, you know the guy with the comb-over? He supposedly slept with half the Housewives. He must have a big, um, wallet.
Did you see me shamelessly pitch my book while I was there? Don't knock it. It's not easy to make a living in publishing, you have to hustle.
(I really love kids!)
I missed the Hamptons. I had a deadline and had to work. But if I'd been there I would have topped everyone, I'm sure of it. I would have brought four pies to beat Aviva's three and I would have read faster than Ramona. I would have had scotch, snagged the single guy, and talked twice as much as all of them. I would have held Sienna at the art show and she wouldn't have cried. By the way, watch for upcoming scenes with Sienna and I, we kill it. Did you know I love kids?
Heather had a point when she said she hardly spoke to Ramona and Mario before they told her she talks too much, but that's Ramona. You cannot take her seriously. And she's no slouch in the talking department herself.
Since I missed the Hamptons, I asked the girls to lunch to fill me in. LuAnn was so wound up she forgot to drink her coffee! After she left, the three rookies -- me, Heather, Aviva -- vowed to not be mean. Let's see how that goes.
After watching this first episode, there are five things you should have learned. Luann knows other languages, Aviva has three legs, Heather talks fast, Ramona reads fast, Sonja played pool with Eric Clapton and most important of all...I love kids.
Did I mention I love kids?
(I got that from Google translate. It means "Goodbye.")
Oh, by the way, I wrote a book called What Remains. You can find it here.

Any woman who has spent any time in India – particularly as a teenager – is familiar with the web of "don't."
Don't take a taxi by yourself. Don't walk there. Don't roll down the window. Don't be too friendly. Don't agree to a work meeting after such-and-such hour. Don't let repair men come to the house if you're home alone. Don't be the last one to leave the office. Don't wear that outside the house. Don't make eye contact.
In a country where sexual crimes of all sorts - from molestation at home to harassment in the street to brutal rape - are a daily occurrence, parents have tried to shelter their daughters behind an all-encompassing set of rules that are meant to offer protection from the worst of these assaults.
Even educated women from middle-class families, who enjoy the most personal autonomy of any females in India, are well aware of the long list of "don'ts." To some degree, this list has been a talisman of sorts, for both parents and their daughters, a cloak meant to make them invisible to their would-be attackers.
But the attack on Dec. 16 -- when a young woman boarded a bus with a male friend in the early evening, and was brutally raped and beaten by five men and a teenager -- has shaken many women and their families, in part because what she was doing didn't seem to many of us to be that unsafe. Wasn't she following the rules? She wasn't alone. It was only 8 p.m. The attack happened in a "civilized" part of Delhi where many young women live.
In the wake of that attack, the reaction of some women and some parents will be to add to the mental list of things you must not do if you are a woman in India. Don't come to Delhi. Don't be seen publicly with a man. Don't board a bus after 8 p.m. Don't react to someone who makes a rude remark about you.
But the next attack – and unfortunately, as the papers of recent days have shown, there will be no dearth of attacks – could take place in a small town. Or to a girl who's out with a female friend. Or in the afternoon.
One young man was quoted in an Indian newspaper as saying the only way to keep his sister safe is to sequester her at home. In a sea of sad news, that was one of the more depressing reactions.
Women will be safer when they are present in ever-greater numbers in public spaces, not cowering at home.
To get a sense of just how imbalanced it is right now, go to any metro station in the capital. Depending on the hour, men outnumber women by at least five to one; at rush hour it's more like 10 to one.
That's why the introduction of the ladies' car in the metro has made the rest of the train feel peculiarly unfriendly. The rest of the cars are occupied almost entirely by men; women who accidentally get into one of them are in a sea of men and it's impossible not to think, 'I hope the lights don't go out.'
The ladies' car is a reminder the public realm in India still largely belongs to men, and some of those men guard it jealously.
In a recent speech, as the attacked woman neared death, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said, "The emergence of women in public spaces, which is an absolutely essential part of social emancipation, is accompanied by growing threats to their safety and security."
But in coming years, perhaps, women will overflow from the ladies car into the other parts of the train as increasing numbers of females study, work and pursue other activities outside the home. And perhaps, as women cease to be so visibly outnumbered, the attacks will lessen.
The woman who died early Saturday, a physiotherapy student who has not been named, had dreams that involved being out and about in the world. One way to honor her memory is by not retreating from that world: one of study and work; of dance classes and afternoon movies; of treating patients and whatever else might have followed if she had lived.
Every woman who pushes the envelope – even by so small an act as climbing aboard a bus after sunset – is in her own way snipping a little hole in the web that limits the possibilities open to all Indian women, including the privileged.
I know many women who insist on driving themselves home at night for a variety of reasons – some of them are journalists with erratic hours, some aren't married, some don't want to keep a driver waiting around for them at night.
Those are acts of daily bravery in a world where the Delhi police has said in the past it's not possible to ensure the safety of women who insist on being out after dark. If the numbers of women who are taking the metro or buses or driving after dark go up, the police will have to step up, rather than dismissing those who do as anomalies unworthy of protection because they are taking unnecessary risks.
Similarly, wearing something short or sexy is an act of bravery, too. Many women in India are too scared to do this. People who participated in last year's "Slutwalk," including foreigners, were dressed on the whole quite conservatively, even though the point of the event was to wear revealing garments to make the point that it's not clothing that causes sexual assault.
Many older Indian women couldn't relate to that protest, suggesting there were more serious crimes against women than the daily staring and groping. But perhaps the impunity with which men are able to grope young women emboldens them to carry out far worse crimes. And when political leaders suggest school girls dress more modestly, as one did this Friday, it confirms my belief – as superficial as it might seem to some -- that wearing a miniskirt in India is also an act of defiance.
It's understandable that, at least in the short term, the reaction of some parents may be to curtail their daughters' already limited freedom, to weave a heavier web to protect them. But that won't make them safer in the long run. And it's not a choice that is open to everyone.
I think of M., who will turn 23 in February, and who just started working as a driver in the home of a family friend. She takes private buses to and from work and her home in one of Delhi's poorly-connected, new neighborhoods. When the protests against the gang rape started, many fellow female drivers, for whom evening bus rides are a fact of holding down a job, joined the crowd at India Gate. In recent days, she said she's sometimes reached home as late as 10 p.m. She is the oldest child in a family whose father went missing some years ago. They badly need her earnings, since her youngest siblings are still in school.
She doesn't have the choice to stay home. What will make her safer is not being the only woman on the bus.

Almost the entire process is done by hand, not a robot in sight! First the sterilised bottles are filled using this brilliant contraption, which we can perfectly imagine in the laboratory of a mad Victorian scientist! Look at all that lovely Blenheim Bouquet, enough to keep a whole troop of gents beautifully scented.
Then another interesting looking device ensures the pump and tube are sealed nice and tightly (we wouldn't want any of that precious juice to leak!) before the little bottles make their way along the line to be dressed!
These speed at which the labels and bows are hand-applied is quite astonishing, they were going at such a lick that we could hardly capture it on camera.
Finally the complete bottles are nestled into their lovely boxes, then wrapped and packed for delivery to our stores all over the world!
We imagine everyone went home that day smelling ever so slightly of this great classic, which is no bad thing! Did you know that after 110 years Blenheim Bouquet still remains our bestselling fragrance globally?
How important is it to you that the products you buy are made in the UK?

The Chamberlen family (late 1500s - early 1700s)
The Chamberlens settled in England in the late 1500s, and generations of male members of the family pursued medical careers focusing on midwifery. Central to their success was their obstetrical forceps, which they hid for decades. The Chamberlens originally worked at a time when assisting childbirth was the domain of women; man-midwives only became common during the 1700s.
William Chamberlen (c. 1540-96) and his family were Huguenot refugees who arrived from France in 1569. William, his eldest son Peter (1560-1631) and his second son, also called Peter (1572-1626), became barber-surgeons and practitioners in midwifery. Success in difficult deliveries saw Peter the Elder become surgeon and midwife to Queen Anne, wife of James I.
It is thought Peter the Elder designed the first forceps. He and his brother went to extraordinary lengths to hide the invention and protect their lucrative trade. They arrived at a delivery carrying a huge engraved box, giving the false impression that large machinery was involved. The birthing room was cleared save for the Chamberlens and the labouring woman, who was blindfolded.
This kept the family secret for over 100 years. Peter the Younger's son, known as Dr Peter (1601-83), continued the subterfuge, but his son, Hugh the Elder (1630-1720), was willing to reveal the secret instrument to the French government for a price - an offer that was declined. Hugh's son, Hugh the Younger (1664-1728), was the last to use the secret tools. He had no male heir, and it appears he revealed the secret. Forceps of similar design came into use in the 1730s.
In 1813 several pairs of forceps once belonging to Dr Peter were found beneath a trap door in his old family home. His wife hid them after his death, an indication of the family's determination to take the secret to their graves.

No one knows for sure what causes nighttime wetting, also called nocturnal enuresis, but bedwetting is usually a natural part of development, and most children grow out of it. However, enuresis — not being able to control peeing in the daytime or nighttime — can be a sign of another medical condition, especially if it begins abruptly or is accompanied by other symptoms. Then it may be time for your child to be seen by Nemours pediatric urologists who specialize in treating urologic problems in children.

On May 15th, the 2004 Star Wars TCG Championship Series reached Newbury, Ohio. Michael Van Norman won first place that day, armed in part with his Light Side Jawa deck. Todd Harford took second, and provided the following comments on his decks and the Newbury Qualifier.
As always, our congratulations to the winners of completed Qualifiers, and best of luck to all SW:TCG players still in competition. (See this listing for a complete schedule.)
Mostly my playtesting group and I borrowed the ideas put forth by the Team Bus decks, both Light Side and Dark Side, and tried to improve upon their general construction.
"For the Dark Side, we added a single Emperor's Bidding, which proved to be absolutely insane against a field of non-Jedi based decks. We didn't anticipate many Jedi being played, and it gave the Dark Side combo deck the extra power it needed to simply trump opponents running much more powerful Light Side strategies. Our Emperor's Bidding tech paid off with at least three game wins, and really made it impossible for our opponents to play their Light Side decks with confidence. There was just always that chance we'd pull the card while going off and say: 'Oops, I win.' Usually after game 1, this was enough to make people want to play their Dark Side decks.
"But honestly, the Light Side deck I ran was much more consistent, and even sported Jedi Starfighter 3R3s in the Space arena to combat our own secret Emperor's Bidding tech. Also, the addition of EG-6 Power Droids in the Character arena acted as proactive prevention in our Light Side deck, forcing opponents to either attack the Power Droid or suffer a second swing from Guri (A) or IG-88 (A) (which, with their speed, assured a second swing next turn anyway). We also ran a much different array of Battle cards, opting for a quicker, more aggressive kill with a Brutal Assault + Han's Sacrifice combo, rather than extra prevention.
"We banked on playing the Light Side deck most games during the day, and this happened to be the case. In fact, if fatigue and a fear of the very same Dark Side deck we were running hadn't slightly impaired my judgment, I probably would have played the Light Side deck during the finals. Terrible draws with the rather inconsistent Dark Side deck did me in, and my opponent—despite having a game loss from mis-registering his deck—still trumped me.
"One deck that was a surprise was the Jawa Deck that I faced in the finals and lost to. Not so much on power level, but rather that someone had the guts to play Jawas! It was a pleasant surprise.
"I completely share my win with my team, because without playtesting and various ideas from each member, I couldn't have qualified and secured the last two tickets we needed for GenCon.

2012 Cadillac CTS-V
Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4
Click Image to Enlarge
Keys to cars with over 500 horsepower from the factory do not end up in my hands very often, so when they do I like to indulge — safely and lawfully, of course. This week 556 tire-shredding horsepower was handed to me in the form of a Cadillac CTS-V Coupe — a polarizing car with two purposes, going fast and burning gas.
Okay, perhaps this car wasn't designed just to burn gas, but it seems to do so rather quickly as noted by Paul Williams in his test drive, and as noticed by me over the course of two days and 150 km, with already a half a tank of fuel used up. I suppose the CTS-V has a third purpose, that being luxury – this is a Cadillac, after all.
Click Image to Enlarge
If I had the choice I'd pick the sedan over the coupe, or perhaps even the wagon; although it is heavier and slower, what could be cooler than a 556-horsepower station wagon? But let's get to this coupe, equipped with optional extras like yellow painted Brembo calipers, 19-inch aluminum wheels with satin graphite finish, a six-speed automatic (although I'd prefer the standard six-speed manual) and performance bucket seats with adjustable side bolsters.
This beast comes priced at just over $83,000 and you will either love it or hate it when you set your eyes on it. Reactions from the crowd here locally are all positive so far. The coupe sits lower than the sedan and actually shares very little with the four-door. It really is a unique vehicle and has a number of rarely seen features. For instance, the coupe is not equipped with door handles, as it uses an electronic button for access; a really cool centre-outlet exhaust with large twin round tips; and a unique grille that doubles front-end airflow as well as the chrome quotient.
A car like this is meant to be showy, and if you want to go fast it can do that as well. Stay tuned this week as I'll be taking this monster to the track to find out what it really can do as our speed limits are just a little too low to experience this car properly.
MSRP as tested (including destination): $83,550

Katy Perry's Family Featured in New 'Part of Me' Film Clip
Katy Perry's 3D spectacle 'Katy Perry: Part of Me' is set to land at the multiplex (check the new poster) on July 5, but the singer has unveiled a preview clip featuring her family. Her sister Angela Hudson, as well as evangelical parents Mary and Keith, are on camera, discussing how they dealt with Katy's explosive, runaway fame and her sexy image.
Russell Brand's soon-to-be-ex-wife wasn't lying when she said the film would show everything. In this clip, her sister reveals how Perry broke the news that 'I Kissed a Girl' was her first single, and her dad reacts to how it all went down!
First, her older sister recalls, When Katy decided' I Kissed a Girl' was going to be her first single, I asked her, 'Have you told mom and dad?' She said, 'No, but can you?'" That's rich. Pushing it off on her big sis. Safety in numbers.
Perry – who uses her mother's maiden name — has never shied away from discussing her uber religious upbringing. Here, Mary and Keith, who look like stylish rockers, especially Keith, with his nerdy black glasses, express that they were concerned that her single choice could affect their ministry work, but they didn't get all "extremists-in-Indonesia-when-it-comes-to-Lady-Gaga" about it!
Keith candidly says, "I was a little concerned, yeah, 'cause I thought my ministry after 30-something years is over. But, you know what? Never had a problem." See, suggestive pop music doesn't have to topple morals or crush faith…
Perry herself muses about the fact that "I think people love the idea of 'a good girl gone bad." But she's not a bad girl, and no, her parents have not cast her out or cut off contact. Duh! They are in the film. She says, "They think my parents have disowned me, but that's not the story at all."
Want more Katy Perry? Well you can have it on June 19, when her new video for 'Wide Awake' premieres. For now, check out the fairytale preview here.

Conn. warns of dire climate change consequences
HARTFORD -- Connecticut environmental officials are warning of dire consequences from climate change that will affect agriculture, dams and levees, waterfront habitats and public health.
For example, sea level rise will leave Hammonasset Beach State Park, among Connecticut's most popular state parks, mostly inundated by sea water by the end of the century, according to a new report by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection.
Most agriculture in Connecticut is likely to be "highly impacted" by climate change "and most of these potential impacts are negative," Monday's report said.
Maple syrup, dairy, warm weather produce, shellfish and apple and pear production will be affected by changes in temperature and the abundance of rain or lack of it, which could reduce production yields, lead to contamination of agricultural goods such as shellfish and the need for costly infrastructure to compensate for the damage.
Climate change is "going to require some adaptation," said Agriculture Commissioner Steven Reviczky.
"You can see what's happening," he said. "The intensity of storms is pretty significant. The damage has been equally significant."
Connecticut was hit by three major storms in 14 months: Tropical Storm Irene in August 2011, followed by a freak nor'easter two months later and Superstorm Sandy in late October 2012. This summer, four tornadoes touched down in Connecticut, with one storm in north-central Connecticut on July 1 damaging tobacco netting and other farm equipment, buildings and crops.
The report said climate changes are projected to be less in the Northeast, particularly for rain and snow, than the rest of the country. Connecticut agriculture as a result can take advantage of the projected longer growing season.
The legislature required the Governor's Steering Committee on Climate Change to evaluate the projected impacts of climate change on agriculture, infrastructure, natural resources and public health and develop strategies to reduce the impacts.
Infrastructure would be most affected by changes in storms and rising sea level, which could cause substantial structural damage. Efforts and technology would be costly to reduce the impact of the damage, the report said.
In addition, natural resources most at risk from climate change are cold water streams, tidal marshes, open water marine areas, beaches and dunes, freshwater wetlands, offshore islands, major rivers and forested swamps.
Cold water streams could become warm, tidal marsh and offshore islands could be submerged and critical species that depend on the habitats could be lost. The damage caused by climate change would join other threats such as development and invasive species.

Finnish fans to flock to Poland for first World Champs campaign in 32 years
There will be a few charter planes taking the Finnish fans from Helsinki straight to Katowice, where the "Suomis" will be playing triple world champions Brazil, Korea, Germany, and another two teams – one from Africa and NORCECA apiece – in preliminary Pool B.
"These 650 people will be all traveling to Poland on one of our official fan trips" explains Hanna Iiskola-Kesonen, Secretary General of the Finnish Volleyball Association. "However, there are many other supporters who will also travel to Poland and have organized the journey on their own. Our fans are really looking forward to attending the World Championship" she adds.
The most-desired package so far is the one whereby the Finnish fans will be attending the last three matches of Pool play at Spodek hall in Katowice. Some of these people will be staying in Poland also for the remainder of the tournament.
Even though six months are still left before the start of the World Championship – the opening game starring Poland and Serbia will be held at the National Stadium in Warsaw on August 30 – the Finnish Volleyball Association estimates that more than 2,000 supporters will find their way to Poland. The always colorful and passionate Finns will be among those to watch out for by the time actions get underway at Spodek in Katowice.

Please access detailed information on over 250 individual film color processes via the classification system on this page, display the Timeline of Historical Film Colors in chronological order, search via the tag cloud at the end of this page or directly on the search page, or see the contributing archives' collections on the header slides.
This database was created in 2012 and has been developed and curated by Barbara Flueckiger, professor at the Department of Film Studies, University of Zurich to provide comprehensive information about historical film color processes invented since the end of the 19th century including specific still photography color technologies that were their conceptual predecessors.
Timeline of Historical Film Colors was started with Barbara Flueckiger's research at Harvard University in the framework of her project Film History Re-mastered, funded by Swiss National Science Foundation, 2011-2013.
In 2013 the University of Zurich and the Swiss National Science Foundation awarded additional funding for the elaboration of this web resource. 80 financial contributors sponsored the crowdfunding campaign Database of Historical Film Colors with more than USD 11.100 in 2012. In addition, the Institute for the Performing Arts and Film, Zurich University of the Arts provided a major contribution to the development of the database. Many further persons and institutions have supported the project, see acknowledgements.
Since February 2016 the database has been redeveloped in the framework of the research project Film Colors. Technologies, Cultures, Institutions funded by a grant from Swiss National Science Foundation. Since 2016, the team of the research project ERC Advanced Grant FilmColors has been collecting and adding written sources. All the members of the two research projects on film colors, both led by Barbara Flueckiger, have been capturing photographs of historical film prints since 2017.

* Any views expressed in this article are those of the author and not of Thomson Reuters Foundation.Subhead: When it comes to conception, modern technology doesn't always eclipse Mother Nature. Infertile women are opening up about the shame of childlessness in an age of high-tech babies. Byline: Alizah Salario
Mayo Clinic on Flickr, under Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND 2.0)
(WOMENSENEWS)--What they expected were miracle babies.
Instead, they got endless cycles of fertility treatments, bioethical dilemmas and ongoing emotional trauma. Not one left the hospital with a baby in their arms.
Women and couples at "The Cycle: Living a Taboo," a public forum on infertility co-organized by filmmaker Irina Vodar as part of her upcoming documentary by the same title, recently spoke about the shame, grief and isolation that followed their inability to bear children in an age of high-tech conception.
The Sept. 27 forum provided an outlet where couples struggling to conceive using the latest medical methods could ask questions and listen to powerful stories from those for whom technology failed.
"The more extensive the intervention when trying to have a baby, the greater the sense of shame when it doesn't succeed. Then when medicine fails us, we feel doubly broken," Pamela M. Tsigdinos, the forum's co-producer and author of "Silent Sorority", a memoir chronicling her decade-long struggle to conceive, told Women's eNews in an interview.
In their talks, Tsigdinos and Vodar emphasized the importance of solidarity among infertile women in an age when female bonding so often occurs around motherhood. They addressed why an infertility diagnosis is particularly devastating to "Generation IVF;" the first generation of women to grow up with the reproductive freedom to delay pregnancy and have access to in vitro fertilization. Like Tsigdinos and Vodar, these women were raised to believe that science can surpass Mother Nature in the tricky dance of conception.
Combined with the media's glamorization of pregnancy, motherhood and reproductive anomalies -- think Octomom, women giving birth to their own grandchildren and celebrities showing off baby bumps well into their 40s -- these beliefs and messages create "false expectations for the average woman struggling to conceive," said Vodar.
More Failure Than Success
An estimated 7.3 million women and their partners in the U.S. experience infertility, or 1-in-8 couples, according to the U.S. National Survey of Family Growth. For women, age is the most influential factor in predicting fertility, as evidenced by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's 2011 Preliminary ART Success Rates. It shows that women younger than 35 have a 40 percent chance of giving birth per fertility treatment cycle, while women 44 and older have only a 1 percent chance of giving birth per treatment cycle. Most of these treatments take place in women between the ages of 30 and 39. Today, more than 1 percent of all infants born in the United States every year are conceived using medical technology.
Yet assisted reproductive technology fails more often than it succeeds. Global statistics from 2007 indicate that overall, there's a 27 percent success rate -- meaning a pregnancy that results in a live birth -- from a single treatment cycle.
And undergoing more treatment cycles doesn't improve the chances of getting pregnant. If a woman has a 5 percent chance of getting pregnant, her odds are just as low during the 20th cycle as they were for the first one. Some women at the forum referred to starting from scratch each cycle as a Sisyphus-like task.
When she began trying to conceive at age 40, award-winning journalist Miriam Zoll had no doubt modern technology could help her get pregnant, despite a previous diagnosis of endometriosis.
At the forum, Zoll emotionally chronicled injecting herself with hormones month after month, yet failing to become pregnant. By her fourth in vitro fertilization trial, she described entering "the fertility junkie zone." It was a place where fear, denial and shame kept her in treatment, despite her extremely low odds of becoming pregnant.
"I was held hostage by science," said Zoll, who chronicles her fertility struggles in the book "Cracked Open: Liberty, Fertility and the Pursuit of High Tech Babies." She describes how due to the hyper-marketed, unregulated U.S. fertility industry and the idealization of reproductive technology, women are pressured to continue fertility treatments at all costs. (Although there is a federal mandate for fertility clinics to share their success rates, there are no fertility industry standardized protocols.)
Pressure to Keep Trying
The pressure to try, try and try again was common among women who spoke at the forum. For some, continuing fertility treatments gave them hope. Yet for others, the never-give-up mentality kept them in constant limbo, unable to move on with their lives.
For Zoll, giving up on treatment initially felt like failure. Yet it was only after accepting her infertility and allowing herself to grieve the loss that she was eventually able to consider other options. Zoll now has an adopted son.
Unlike the loss of a live child, there's no protocol for grieving a child that never was, said Marni Rosner, a psychotherapist specializing in trauma and infertility. She spoke at the forum about her own fertility struggles and the difficulty in defining what is lost along with the ability bear children.
"It's the loss of a planned and hoped for future, of creating something with one's partner. It's a social loss and crossing a threshold into adulthood," said Rosner, noting the correlation between "reproductive trauma" and posttraumatic stress disorder.
Tsigdinos, who had her first fertility workup at age 29, noted that well-intentioned friends and family members often exacerbate the sense of loss with statements like "just keep trying" or "you're still young" when fertility struggles are confided.
When Tsigdinos eventually stopped fertility treatments without becoming pregnant and shared her story in her memoir, she received emails from women around the world. Some told her she was bitter or that she didn't try hard enough. Many more wrote to thank her. After years of feeling like a "fringe dweller," opening up gave her sense of solidarity and normalcy. She hoped the forum would do the same for other women who felt silenced and stigmatized.
"I found myself in tears," she said of the night before the forum, when many of the women gathered for the first time. "Not because I was feeling sorry for myself, but because I was so relieved and overwhelmed that these women were speaking with honesty."

The International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the biggest tech convention of the year, feels a bit like the World's Fairs did many decades ago. Part spectacle, part innovation benchmark, CES welcomes the wizards of the modern age to unveil their latest gizmos and inspire awe, glee, and a healthy dose of covetousness.
In the days before the show, tech analysts earn their keep by predicting how "this will be the year of the [fill in the blank]." With CES kicking off Thursday, many see the 2010 tech horizon dominated by 3-D TVs, e-book readers, and tablet computers.
These forecasts always feel accurate within the walls of the convention center. But all too often, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Trends that seemed sure-fire fizzle before the new year.
For example, CNET's gadget of CES 2009 was the Palm Pre. The slim, snazzy smart phone surprised and ensorcelled reporters. Some called it an "iPhone killer." Popular consensus considered it Palm's savior. Now, many wonder if the company will make it to 2011. The Pre and its little sister, the Palm Pixi, have gained barely any traction while the iPhone and Android close in on BlackBerry.
Many years in a row, analysts – or at least loud publicists – proclaimed the year of the 3-D had arrived. The third dimension definitely reached theaters in 2009. Four of the 10 top-grossing movies of the year were 3-D titles. And the 3-D sci-fi epic "Avatar" pulled in a billion dollars worldwide in only three weeks. Whether the same trend will invade living rooms remains unknown, but several encouraging signs popped up recently. Last month, the industry group behind Blu-ray finalized plans to let the high-definition discs play 3-D movies. And ESPN will launch a 3-D sports network in June. The new station will air 85 live events before the end of the year. But the problem with bringing home 3-D video is equipment. Both Blu-ray and ESPN will require special TVs and glasses for their 3-D schemes to work. Unless CES 2010 delivers a tech miracle, expect the televisions to be expensive and the glasses bulky.
E-readers seem a safer bet. Amazon's Kindle and the Barnes and Noble Nook seem to have had a smashing Christmas. The former was Amazon.com's most gifted Christmas product ever, according to the company. And the Nook struggled to keep up with demand – with its current back-order date reaching into early February. (Of course, the apparent drought of Nooks could be due to a slew of orders or a crack in the manufacturing chain.) It's also uncertain how many contenders can fit in the ring at once, especially when the first big e-book device, the Sony Reader, has fought a mostly losing battle for attention.
The final prediction, which calls for a boom in tablet computers, comes pegged to Apple's much anticipated tablet – if such a thing exists. Apple has never made a peep about such a computer, but countless rumors and seemingly legitimate reports from The Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, and many respected analyst groups have convinced the industry that such a product is waiting in the wings. Some foresee rivals launching a preemptive strike against an iTablet. For example, the New York Times suggested that Microsoft may unveil and throw its weight behind a Hewlett-Packard tablet during the company's keynote tonight. But early announcements from Las Vegas point toward a different trend: netbooks, netbooks, netbooks. Of the new PCs coming out of pre-CES coverage, almost all fit into the pint-size category. Asus, Lenovo, and Intel have hyped their new netbooks and the chips which keep them chugging.
Check in on the Horizons blog this week to see which CES predictions came true and which might extend deeper into 2010. Also, let us know your tech forecast – or dream gadgets. Comment below or follow us on Twitter.

Central Park Five $40 Million Settlement: Monumental Victory The Young Men
The Central Park Five; exonerated, now about to settle with City
Reports of a settlement in the Central Park Five case signify a monumental victory for the five young men and their families who fought for justice for so long.
It is also a victory for those in the community that stood with them from day one and believed in their innocence in this case. As supporters we were viciously attacked for standing with them, but we were on the right side of history.
One should not underestimate the permanent damaged by the misuse of prosecution – lives were devastated, families torn apart, youth stolen. One of the young men did thirteen years in prison, only to return home unable to get a job. He worked for us at the National Action Network (NAN) for years, and we were honored to help him get back on his feet.
I commend the New York City Corporation Council Zachary Carter for this diligent work on behalf of the citizens of the city. Mayor Bill de Blasio spoke at NAN's candidate's forum in January 2013 at the House of Justice and committed then to seek a fair settlement on this case if he was elected -- he has kept his word.
At National Action Network's Saturday rally we will honor the community who stood by the Central Park Five and call on the present District Attorney to assure the community that this kind of prosecutorial misconduct will be guarded against in the future. This is a wake up call that we should not end with this lawsuit but begin on due process.

of the disease. Immunosuppressants other than mitoxantrone, though, have not
been shown to significantly reduce the progression of MS or the frequency of
Mitoxantrone may be injected once every 3 months for up to 3 years.
A higher total dose increases the risk of serious heart damage.
Mitoxantrone is used to treat several forms of worsening MS, including
secondary progressive MS,
progressive relapsing MS, and advanced
relapsing-remitting MS.
Mitoxantrone is one of only two
medicines that have been shown to benefit people who have secondary progressive
MS that is relapsing. The interferon beta medicine Betaseron is the other.
Interferon beta will likely remain the first choice for treating secondary
progressive MS, because it does not carry the risk of heart damage associated
with mitoxantrone. Mitoxantrone may be
tried if you develop severe side effects from interferon beta, cannot take the
medicine for some other reason, or continue to have active disease.
Mitoxantrone reduces the frequency of relapses and helps slow the
development of disability in people who have secondary progressive MS that is
relapsing or advanced relapsing-remitting MS. Some studies have shown that
when mitoxantrone is combined with other drugs such as intravenous
methylprednisolone (IVMP) or interferon beta, the rate of new MS lesions in the brain
has been reduced.1
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Because mitoxantrone can lower your number of platelets (cells that help blood clot), you may have problems with bleeding. Make sure you know the signs of abnormal bleeding.
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor right away if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference
is not available in all systems.)
Use of mitoxantrone may cause serious, even fatal, heart damage in
some people, including heart failure. It also can cause
leukemia. Frequent tests, including a
heart scan, are recommended before each injection of this medicine. To reduce
the risk of heart damage associated with the medicine, you should receive
only a limited number of doses. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends up to 12 total doses, or no more than 140 mg/m³ total cumulative dose.
Typically, the medicine is injected once every 3 months for 2 to 3
Due to these safety concerns and the limitations on its use, mitoxantrone
is for the most part being used only in specialized MS clinics or centers
staffed by neurologists and other health professionals who specialize in
treating people with MS.
As with interferon beta, people who are taking mitoxantrone need to
have regular blood tests to monitor white and red blood cell counts and liver
function. These are in addition to the regular testing needed to monitor heart
function. Mitoxantrone is not recommended for people who already have heart
disease, liver problems, or certain blood disorders, because it may make these
problems worse.
Mitoxantrone can keep your immune system from fighting infection. When you are taking this medicine (and even when you have finished taking it), try not to be around people who are sick. And make sure you talk to your doctor before you get any vaccinations.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Women who use this medicine during pregnancy have a higher chance of having a baby with birth defects. If you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant, you and your doctor must weigh the risks of using this medicine against the risks of not treating your condition. If you need to use this medicine, talk to your doctor about how you can prevent pregnancy.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

The Wake-Up Workout
Do any or all of these easy yoga stretches, and feel refreshed.
For A.M. Energy
Stand a few inches in front of your bedroom doorway and lift arms so that elbows are at shoulder height. Place palms on the edges of the door jamb, framing both sides of the doorway. Anchor hands as you lean forward and exhale. "Hold for a few breaths, allowing shoulder blades to move together and the chest to open," says Edward Vilga, a yoga instructor at Laughing Lotus in New York City and author of Yoga for Suits. Then, inhaling, return to starting position.
For At-Work Energy
- Sit on the edge of your office chair and do an Upward Spiral: Reach right hand to left knee, grab the back of the chair with left hand, and inhale. As you exhale, twist left, toward the back of the chair. Hold for a few breaths, twisting deeper into the stretch with each exhale. "Twisting releases the spine, allowing energy to spiral upward in the body," says Vilga. Repeat on the opposite side.
- Sit in your chair for a Side Stretch: Raise arms toward the ceiling, fingers reaching. "Inhale and linger, visualizing nailing tomorrow's presentation or landing an important client — whatever inspires you," says Vilga. Lean to the right while exhaling, then to the left. Repeat 3 times on each side, holding for a few breaths. "This opens the rib cage, increasing your heart rate and improving circulation," Vilga explains.
- Try the Breath of Fire: Pant through your mouth for a few seconds, then breathe through your nose, inhaling and exhaling rapidly for 15 to 30 seconds. "Because you're quickly contracting the abdomen, you'll increase your heart rate, which delivers oxygen everywhere and tones your belly," says Vilga. Finish with a few slow, deep breaths.
Need a Lift? Try mint. Breathing in the scent of peppermint is a natural pick-me-up. In studies at West Jesuit University in West Virginia, lead researcher Bryan Raudenbush, PhD, found that mint stimulates the part of the brain connected to attention and arousal. Use a peppermint-infused body lotion.
Good Food = Good Energy
Fuel your body with healthy picks from experts.
- Blueberries: They're packed with antioxidants that boost brain cells and help keep memory sharp, research shows. Toss a half cup onto your cereal.
- Apples: Their high fiber content means they deliver steady energy. "Apples also help prevent dehydration," says Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, a dietitian in Chicago.
- Fish: "The omega-3 fatty acids in oily fish such as salmon are linked to improved concentration and memory," says Blatner.
- Spinach: It's brimming with iron, which helps deliver oxygen to your cells. When you're low on this mineral, you'll feel like you're...about...to...crash. Use it in pastas and salads.
- Nuts: Build energy with a daily handful of almonds, hazelnuts, or cashews, all of which contain fatigue-fighting magnesium.
Need a Lift? Make love. "Sex triggers the production of chemicals, including testosterone, dopamine, and oxytocin," says Helen Fisher, PhD, an anthropologist at Rutgers University and author of Why We Love. This revitalizing surge of hormones increases mental clarity and boosts energy.
Surprisingly Un-Healthy Stuff
Beat the five top "good-for-you" goofs.
- You think eating breakfast is healthy, but: "Any food with a lot of added sugar, even yogurt, can make your energy level take a nosedive about an hour after you eat it," says Blatner. Stick to a mix of protein, fiber, and whole grains; choose yogurt with 12 grams of sugar or less.
- You think salad is healthy, but: Greens won't do you much good if you drown them in cheese, croutons, and creamy dressing. "Fat takes a long time to be digested and makes us feel sluggish," explains Blatner. Instead, load up on lean protein such as chicken, fiber-rich chickpeas, and nutritious veggies like tomatoes, broccoli, and red peppers.
- You think any snack that isn't fried is healthy, but: Low-fat, low-cal pretzels and potato chips seem like a smart snack — trouble is, "these processed dry foods speed through your system," says Blatner. Choose popcorn or multigrain pretzels for a steady, long-lasting energy boost.
- You think dried fruit is healthy, but: It's loaded with sugar. Munch on raw fruit instead. "The water in it will energize you," says Blatner.
- You think coffee is healthy, but: Drink too much and you can get the jitters. Your best bet for improved focus and quick thinking — without the shakes — is to stick to about two cups before noon, advises Blatner.
The Ultimate Meal Plan
"This 1,700-calorie plan is high in lean protein, heart-healthy fats, dairy, and unprocessed carbs — the building blocks that keep energy levels up," says Monique Ryan, RD, a nutritionist in Chicago and author of Sports Nutrition for Endurance Athletes. "If you exercise for more than 35 minutes, add another 200- to 300-calorie snack."
Breakfast: Veggie omelet
- Cooking spray
- 3 egg whites
- 1/2 cup mixture chopped tomato and red and green bell pepper
- 2 slices whole wheat toast
- 1/2 grapefruit
Make it: Coat a skillet with cooking spray; add egg whites. Once the edges are set, sprinkle veggies on egg. Cook through. Fold and serve.
Snack: Blueberry smoothie
- 1 cup skim milk
- 3/4 cup blueberries
- Ice cubes to taste
Make it: In a blender, mix together milk, blueberries, and ice cubes.
Lunch: Spicy avocado burritos
- 3 ounces warm, grilled chicken breast
- 2 six-inch whole wheat tortillas
- 1 handful low-fat shredded cheese
- 1/3 cup pinto beans
- Salsa to taste
- Raw bell pepper slices
- 2 slices avocado
Make it: Cut chicken into strips and place on tortillas. Top with cheese, beans, salsa, peppers, and avocado.
Snack: Yogurt parfait
- 1 cup low-fat Greek-style yogurt
- 1 peach, cut into slices
Make it: Top yogurt with fruit slices.
Dinner: Salmon and summer vegetables
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 4 ounces wild salmon
- 1 cup fresh asparagus, steamed
- 4 tablespoons light salad dressing
- 2 cups mixed greens
- 2/3 cup instant couscous
Make it: Heat oil in skillet, add salmon, and saute. Serve with asparagus, dressed mixed greens, and couscous.
Take a Power Shower
Finish your morning shower with a 10- to 20-second blast of cold water; this will invigorate you from head to toe and wash drowsiness away. According to researchers in New Zealand, suddenly immersing yourself in cold water increases your heart rate, alertness, and the blood flow to your skeletal muscle.
Need a lift? Buy yourself a plant. Who knew? Having greenery nearby increased workers' productivity by 12 percent, according to a study at Washington State University. "By causing us to be more relaxed, plants help us to be more productive and focused," says lead author Virginia Lohr, PhD.
What's in an Energy Drink?
Taurine: This amino acid helps your body move nutrients like potassium into and out of your cells. Does it energize? Mixed with the other ingredients here, it's tough to know.
Panax ginseng: One study found that a daily 1,000- to 2,000-mg dose may improve fatigue in cancer patients, but the 50mg in an energy drink doesn't add up to much.
Caffeine: Studies suggest that caffeine can enhance memory and even protect against Parkinson's disease. A safe limit: 200 to 300mg a day. One can of Rockstar has 160mg.
Guarana: A Brazilian plant, it contains natural caffeine. In a recent study, researchers found that varying doses of guarana enhanced memory, increased alertness, and improved mood.
Inositol: It may help reduce depression and anxiety, but the 50mg in here isn't going to do it. You'd have to drink 360 cans to get as much as study participants did.
B Vitamins: They turn food into energy. "But any boost you get is from the caffeine and sugars, " says Jeannie Gazzaniga Moloo, PhD, an American Dietetic Associate spokesperson.
Gingko biloba: Some studies suggest that this Chinese herb may improve concentration and memory. However, it can also cause side effects such as headache, dizziness, and heart palpitations.
Carnitine: Some studies show that this amino acid may improve heart health. But you'd need to drain 20 to 4 cans daily to get the amount recommended for benefits.
The bottom line: Skip the energy drink and reach for H20, iced tea, vegetable juice, or 100 percent fruit juice instead. "And get a good night's sleep — it will do a lot more than an energy drink to fight fatigue and improve concentration," says Gazzaniga Moloo.
