Denote by $D(a_1,\dots,a_n)$ the product $\prod_{j>i}(a_j-a_i)$. Assuming that $a_i$ are integers s.t. $a_1\le a_2\le\dots\le a_n$, proove that $D(a_1,...,a_n)/D(1,...,n)$ is the number of Gelfand-Zetlin triangles (that is, triangles consisting of $\frac{n(n+1)}2$ integers, s.t. each number is greater it's lower-left neighbor but not greater than lower-right neighbor) with the base $a_i$.
For example, for n=3 one needs to prove that number of b1, b2, b' s.t. $a_1\le b_1<a_2\le b_2<a_3$, $b_1\le b'<b_2$ is exactly $\frac{(a_3-a_2)(a_3-a_1)(a_2-a_1)}{3}$.
As one can guess from the name "Gelfand-Zetlin", this fact is well-known in representation theory (namely, in LHS we count dimension of a $gl_n$-representation by Weyl formula, and in RHS we count elements in Gelfand-Zetlin basis of the same representation). But maybe someone can come with more or less direct proof? (Some kind of bijective proof, maybe.)
Informal probabilistic argument
For simplicity, consider the case $n=3$: D(a_1,a_2,a_3) counts the number of triangles s.t. $a_1\le b_1<a_2\le b_2<a_3$, $a_1\le b'<a_3$ — and we're interested only in G-Z triangles, i.e. in triangles s.t. $b_1\le b'< b_2$. Now, mathematical expectation of the length of the interval $(b_1,b_2)$ is exactly one half of the length of the interval from which $b'$ is chosen. So one may expect that the probability that random triangle is G-Z is $1/2$ — and the answer is indeed $D(a_1,a_2,a_3)/D(1,2,3)$.
(The main problem with this computation is that we're multiplying probabilities for events that are clearly not independent. And although for n=3 it's not hard to transform this heuristic argument into a formal proof, even for n=4 I failed to do such thing.)

CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy's recent defensive struggles have been much-discussed and well-documented. But they haven't exactly been an unstoppable force on offense, either.
Omar Gonzalez's game-tying goal in extra time last Saturday against the Chicago Fire snapped a scoreless streak that had reached 350 minutes. Prior to that goal, the last one for Los Angeles was by Edson Buddle in the 10th minute of a 1-0 victory at New York on Aug. 14.
The streak was the third-longest in MLS this season and the second-longest in club history. Only the 402-minute dry spell of the Kansas City Wizards and the 352 minutes by D.C. United were longer stretches without a goal in 2010. The Galaxy's record, by the way, for the longest time without a goal was 525 minutes from April 29 to June 3 of the 2006 season.
Landon Donovan, who missed a penalty kick against the Fire, hasn't scored in more than a month. The last time he found the back of the net was in the 81st minute of a 3-2 loss to the Chicago Fire on Aug. 1 when he converted the second of his two penalty kicks in that game.
"Honestly, I hadn't thought about that until you said it," he said about his barren spell in front of goal. "I guess, and I always say this, we don't worry so much about not scoring. We worry about creating chances.
"I think we've had lots and lots of chances over the last few weeks.
"I think back to that Chicago game we lost, the Kansas City game we lost (2-0), the San Jose game we lost (1-0) and even in Chicago this time. We have had a lot of chances to score goals. Sometimes they go in, sometimes they don't. At the beginning of the year, everything was going in. Maybe it's kind of evening out now."
The 1-1 draw with the Fire was an eventful one for veteran midfielder Dema Kovalenko, who got into a number of heated exchanges with his counterparts on the Fire, Logan Pause and John Thorrington. Pause was booked for a rough foul on the 33-year-old while Thorrington and Kovalenko had to be separated following a challenge near midfield late in the first half.
With Chris Birchall suspended for yellow card accumulation, Kovalenko assumed the role of sitting in front of the Galaxy's back four. After missing much of the first half of the season with a quad strain and seeing only limited time over the past two months, Kovalenko admitted it felt good to get a full 90 minutes under his belt.
"It felt good," he said. "I was a little tired in the end, which is normal. But I'm glad I stayed in and finished the game. I'm still a little bit behind because I missed so much time, but I'm a competitor and I'm going to find a way to fight and get myself going.
"I can't wait until this weekend."
Saturday's game against the Crew starts a three-game home stretch for the Galaxy, a stretch that takes the club into the final month of the season and could go a long way toward helping the Galaxy finish atop the Western Conference for the second straight season. After playing the Eastern Conference leaders, LA will then host D.C. United (Sept. 18) and the New York Red Bulls (Sept. 24) to round out the homestand.
Defender Todd Dunivant wouldn't go so far as to say these next three games could make or break what has been a highly successful season, but their importance should not be underestimated.
"Obviously we need to have a good run going into the final stretch of the season," he said. "We still want to win the Supporters' Shield … that's our goal. To do that, we're going to have to beat Columbus and we're going to have to get points. We haven't been doing that lately, and it's something we have to get done."
Dunivant said Saturday's game against the Crew has everything a soccer fan can ask for.
"It will be a great one," he said. "Everyone around the league will be looking to this game. It's the best team in the East against the best in the West. You can't ask for more than that."
Speaking with Joe Tutino on lagalaxy.com's Cup of Joe on Thursday, midfielder Eddie Lewis said that he expects to retire from the game after the end of the 2010 season.
"For me, this is it. This is my last season," Lewis said on the program. "Last year was great, I still felt I needed one more year to personally fulfill some of the things I wanted to fulfill and I wasn't quite ready to give it up. I feel that this will be a great transition year. We have a lot of good young players coming through. I feel the foundation of the team is set now."
The first player signed by Bruce Arena when he became the Galaxy's head coach in August 2008, Lewis has appeared in 43 games for the club, scoring three times and adding six assists. He has appeared in eight games so far this season for the club.

Yes, yes, this Hakosuka Skyline is desperately gorgeous, but what's this metal tube running down the roof?
These pictures were taken at a test run in 1970, held at Fuji.
I stumbled on these sots going through Nissan's Motorsports photo archive, but only when I looked closer did I realize the metal tubing along the back window.
I genuinely have no clue what it does, but I have a feeling it's pretty awesome. Do you have any idea what it is? I mean, other than some kind of lust-radiating device that makes me want to rob a bank and time/space travel back to a 1970s Nissan dealership?

Walk Your Way Green
Walking is the easiest, healthiest, and most effective workout ever. Even better: It's also good for the earth. Consider these statistics:
- About 15 percent of all trips in the U.S. are less than one mile long, and more than 50 percent of those are made by car. Drive 10 fewer miles each week and you'll reduce the pollution that causes global warming by more than 500 pounds a year.
- If Americans walked just 30 minutes a day instead of driving, we'd save about 8.4 billion gallons of gasoline a year and reduce emissions of carbon dioxide by 82 million tons.
- If for one year, 10,000 people hoofed it five miles a week instead of driving, we'd eliminate the CO2 created by 219 cars.
- Walk three miles a day and you'll burn about 240 calories — about the amount in a Snickers bar — while likely lowering your blood pressure and blood-sugar levels, which helps protect you against diabetes and heart disease.
Read on for three walking workouts, plus strategies to help you get more walking into your day and advice on staying safe on the roads.
Interval Walk
Calories burned: 105-140
This quickie walk alternates bursts of very fast and moderately paced intervals to blast fat and kick-start your metabolism. Follow your rate of perceived exertion (RPE) as a guide, using a scale of 1 to 10. "Match the intensity to something you can relate to," says trainer Teri Ann Krefting, star of Crunch's Belly, Butt, and Thighs Bootcamp DVD. For example: The warm-up and cool-down should feel like you're trying to get through a store before closing time, the quicker speed is like rushing to meet a friend when you're late, and the very quick intensity is like dashing to get to the plane before the gate closes.
Hill Walk
Calories burned: 190-200
Blast about 30 percent more calories — and tone your lower body — by walking hills. For this workout from Mark Fenton, author of The Complete Guide to Walking for Health, Weight Loss, and Fitness (2nd edition), find a moderately steep incline that's at least one-eighth of a mile. (On the treadmill, put the grade at 10 percent). Can't find a hill long enough for two and a half minutes of trekking? Go as long as you can, then as fast as you can; don't ease up until you hit the target time.
Warm up: Walk at an easy pace on a flat surface (5 minutes; RPE: 5-6).
Intervals: Walk hard (RPE 7-8), then recover (RPE 4-5) for the given time.
- Walk hard, uphill, for 30 seconds; turn around.
- Walk hard, uphill, for 1 minute; turn around.
- Walk hard, uphill, for 90 seconds; turn around.
- Walk hard, uphill, for 2 minutes; turn around.
- Walk hard, uphill, for 2 1/2 minutes; turn around.
- Walk hard, uphill, for 2 minutes; turn around.
- Walk hard, uphill, for 90 seconds; turn around.
- Walk hard, uphill, for 1 minute; turn around.
- Walk hard, uphill, for 2 minutes; turn around.
Cool down: Walk at an easy pace on a flat surface (5 to 10 minutes; RPE 5-6).
Time: 38-43 minutes
Sculpting Circuit
Calories burned: 255
Add strength to your power walk with the stride-and-sculpt circuit on these pages from Petra Kolber, creator of the new 3, 2, 1 Dance DVD. Since you'll need a bench, stairs, and a wall or tree for some of the moves, this workout is best done in and around a park. Depending on where you walk, do the moves all together at the end of your routine or mixed in, as shown below.
Warm up: Walk at an easy pace (5 minutes; RPE: 5-6).
Speed drill: Increase speed until you almost have to jog to keep it up (3 minutes; RPE 7-8).
Supported squat (targets glutes and thighs): Stand with your back against a wide tree or a wall. Slowly walk your feet out and bend knees until thighs are parallel to the ground (keep knees aligned over ankles). Hold for 30 seconds; come back to standing. Repeat.
Speed drill: Walk as quickly as you can without breaking into a jog (3 minutes; RPE 7-8).
Bench dip (targets arms, chest, upper back and abs): Sit on a park bench, knees bent, feet on ground. Place hands on bench to the outside of your hips, fingers pointing forward. Slide butt off bench and use triceps to slowly lift and lower hips about 4 inches. Repeat for 1 minute.
Speed drill: Walk as quickly as you can without breaking into a jog (3 minutes; RPE 7-8).
One-arm wall push-up (targets chest, arms, back and abs): Stand arm's-distance from a wall or tree and place right palm on it at shoulder height, arm extended. Press chest into the wall or tree until nose is near surface, then push out. Repeat for 30 seconds; switch sides.
Speed drill: Walk as quickly as you can without breaking into a jog (3 minutes; RPE 7-8).
Cross-body kick (targets abs, obliques, and thighs): Stand on left leg, knee slightly bent, hands on hips and right leg lifted a few inches out to side with foot flexed. Kick right leg across body to the left and back to side; keep range of motion small and muscles contracted. Repeat for 30 seconds; switch sides.
Speed drill: Walk as quickly as you can without breaking into a jog (3 minutes; RPE 7-8).
Sidestep squat (targets butt and thighs): Stand sideways to a set of stairs, hands on hips. Place right foot two stairs up with both feet pointing forward. Squat, lowering hips until right knee is bent about 90 degrees. Hold for 1 count, pressing into right foot, then stand back up. Repeat for 30 seconds; switch sides.
Cool down: Walk quickly (5 minutes; RPE 6-7), then gradually slow your speed (5 minutes; RPE 3-4).
Time: 35 minutes
3 Ways to Stay Safe When You Walk
Be Car Smart
The biggest threat facing walkers is traffic. To protect yourself, always walk on sidewalks. If they're not available, walk facing traffic and cross at marked crosswalks.
Stay Visible
The wind-resistant NightLife Vest from Brooks is bright safety-yellow and features a reflective zipper and panels.
Buy the NightLife Vest from Brooks, $80, brooksrunning.com
Or try ultra-luminescent L.E.D. lights, which can be seen from almost all angles up to one mile away.
The all-purpose SpotLit L.E.D. clip-on from Nite Ize attaches to almost any zipper pull (or dog collar, if you're walking with your pooch).
Buy the SpotLit L.E.D. clip-on from Nite Ize, $7, niteize.com
Take Precautions
When possible, walk with a friend and carry a cell phone. And always keep ID on you. "Stick a note in your pocket with your contact information when you leave home," says Therese Iknoian, editor of GearTrends.com and author of Fitness Walking. Or plug an emergency contact number into your phone under "ICE" (In Case of Emergency).
Walk More and Drive Less
We're lucky that FITNESS's offices are located in New York City, one of the most stroll-friendly cities in the country. By lunchtime, most of our staff will have walked at least a mile. But you don't have to be in a city to get your feet moving. Try these tips from Mark Fenton to work more sneaker time into your day.
- If you live in the suburbs, think about all the places you visit in a typical week or month — the ATM, the post office, your friends' or your children's friends' houses, convenience stores. If they fall within a one-mile radius of your home, vow to walk to them instead of driving. Not sure how far away they are? Find a map of your community (try maps.google.com). "You'd be surprised how many places are really walkable," says Fenton.
- If you live in the country, it's often more practical to link your errands together, driving to a downtown area to bank, grocery shop, and go to the hardware store. "Park in a central location and turn at least two of those trips into a walk," says Fenton.
- If you live in the city, strap on a pedometer and watch your step count grow. One recent study found that most subjects who wore a pedometer walked at least a mile more each day. The key, says Fenton, is to determine how much you walk on an average day, then increase that number by about 20 percent each week. If you typically walk 5,000 steps a day, add 1,000 steps a day for the first week, then walk 7,200 steps a day the second week and 8,600 steps a day during week three. By the end of the month, you'll be walking 10,000 steps (about five miles) a day.
The Pedometer We Like
People given a pedometer walked at least a mile more each day. We like the ultra-thin Sportline ThinQ.

The city is a symphony. It's the monotone rattling of a train hurtling along the tracks. It's the quick hard thump of a jackhammer banging onto the tarmac. It's the sound of cars whizzing past. The sounds of the city are music to the ears of our urban society. In its design, its traction SUITE BRLN encapsulates this urban soundtrack. Featuring a decent, elegant tone-in-tone design, it also has the right amount of attitude to make it unexcitedly lively. With a bit of polyester for good measure, we've got it all nicely rounded off. For your own personal interior design zeitgeist... And as the colour range harmonizes so truely with the polyester these colours are also available for Studio NYC Polyester Edition.

Good morning, Michael. Totally agree about the low expectations for the CBGB movie based on the trailer. Looks stink-o. I'll stick with the #1 hits.
Sat. 8/10/13 11:13am
Feel free to play this Leopards song several times in a row.

I had a long and involved dream last night, and that very song, "That's Cool, That's Trash," was at the core of it! And Todd-O-Phonic Todd made a cameo appearance, appropriately.

Duck Dunn and Al Jackson only play on a couple of songs on Elvis' Stax sessions, but not that one. I believe that they were only in the studio in Elvis for one day. On the rest of the Stax sessions, the musicians were a combination of Elvis' road band (including James Burton) and Memphis session guys like Reggie Young and Tommy Cogbill.
Sat. 8/10/13 11:56am
Mike East:
Hey Michael. Great job on "I Can Hear Music". I've been loving it! I needed some #1 hits!
Sat. 8/10/13 11:59am
BTW, the Elvis At Stax set is pretty cool. It's not consistently great, but it kind of belies the common misperception that Elvis totally lost his way on record in the '70s. The material is a little spotty, but the performances show that Elvis still had it pretty together, at least talent-wise, in 1973.

- On Monica's the other week I made a few Comments re Elvis :
...the UrbanMyth now is that the Colonel (Mgmt.) didn't let him grow Artistically w/ his choices - & that screwed him up
- & I've just taken that on board
- but it's not like I actually know any details of what happened...
Sat. 8/10/13 12:09pm
Michael Shelley:
There is no doubt that for a long time The Col. refused to let Elvis record songs that they couldnt get some of the publishing on - I think...
Sat. 8/10/13 12:12pm
Leiber and Stoller quit working with Elvis after a short time due to the Colonel's publishing greed. Imagine how much great work they could have done together if the Col. hadn't been so penny-wise/pound-foolish.
Sat. 8/10/13 12:14pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:
...ususally working Sat.s - so I'm basically new to this Program!
...look forward to checking all these Links! :
...Beatles & Tambourine - 2009 Remasters made that notable! George Martin has said that he's worked w/ a few people - but the young Beatles seemed to have a quick & natural genius for Arrangement (...obviously) - which is itself a word that has sort of slyly got my attention more & more lately...& I wonder about generally...
- Crosby has been a LeoMonster awlright: read his autbio. 'LongTimeGone' - he took the drug thing just as far as it would go - w/ all the impact on friends that that implies!
- @ same time - I think he deserves a lotta cred for things he don't often get - like bringing Coltrane Jazz & Shankar Indian stuff to the Byrds & in fact to George & the Beatles (& hence whole World) too! His broad outlook, i.e. ...
Sat. 8/10/13 12:19pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:
...in fact - if DavidCrosby had done no more than sing harmonies on the Byrds' 1st album (esp. Bells of Rhymney) - that'd go pretty far w/ me!...McGuinn talks overtly about meeting Crosby & right away having to weigh personality against talent - just by instinct (to paraphrase)...
Sat. 8/10/13 12:21pm
Queens L. Bow:
Wow, wondered who the woman singing "Get Together" was....what a shock. It's not on the Crosby box set; where's it from?
Sat. 8/10/13 12:25pm
Michael Shelley:
Sat. 8/10/13 12:28pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:
- have an older 1-CD version of Preflyte - more is something to look forward too!
...& that's another good example: Crosby resents it being released - but I love it! - but Artists *often* self-evaluate differently about their stuff than I or many do...
Sat. 8/10/13 12:30pm
i dream in barbecue.
Sat. 8/10/13 12:31pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:
...altho' (Preflyte) not as polished or even fully-formed as their eventual releases, I feel it has great raw & innocent charm - even Folkier - closer to JFK's 'NewFrontier' still...
Sat. 8/10/13 12:32pm
Gaylord Fields:
Never having met David Crosby and never anticipating meeting him, I can say that his personal reputation as a noxious maladroit doesn't concern me. Especially when I play the sublime Airport Song off Preflyte.
Sat. 8/10/13 12:33pm

DaveDudley sounds like JuniorBrown!
...Contempo CountryPop stations aren't gonna play me this - now are they?!...

...I saw Crosby walking around SantaBarbara w/ his lady & somebody else's liver in 'im when I lived there! That's SoCal. *Why* didn't I bug him & say Thanks for TheByrds - ?! You develop a dif. attitude about Stars & Class out there...I did tell McGuinn Thx @ a show...
Sat. 8/10/13 12:36pm
Rob from Houston, TX:
Michael, Gary US Bonds has new book out which is a good read. Ever try to get him on your show? Seems like a good guy. Congrats on being part of this year's Ponderosa Stomp!

Sat. 8/10/13 12:40pm
Queens L. Bow:
Cool, thanks! That's true about Elvis & the Colonel; I think generally he wouldn't let Elvis record a song without getting a cut of the publishing (this is mentioned in the liner notes to "The Memphis Record" collection). That's why Elvis never performed outside North America, why he did almost no TV, why he kept doing all those crummy movies. As to why Elvis didn't break with him, there are probably plenty of theories about that, but if only he did....imagine Spector, or John Lennon, or Phil Ramone getting a bunch of top rock & roll players to do an album with him. What could have been....
Sat. 8/10/13 12:40pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:
- yeah - yer wanna be Keeewl
...Crosby says he wishes McGuinn would do TheByrds w/ him, tho'!
...McGuinn - not interested...

delbert mcclinton taught john lennon how to play harmonica..
Sat. 8/10/13 12:46pm
"Love Me Do" is just sort of cruddy version of "Hey, Baby," that Bruce Channel song. All hail Vee-Jay records.
Sat. 8/10/13 12:47pm
my understanding is that elvis only performed in the u.s and canada because the colonel had a criminal record and couldn't go anywhere, and if the colonel didn't go, elvis didn't go.
Sat. 8/10/13 12:47pm
Gaylord Fields:
Elvis didn't perform outside North America because the Colonel couldn't travel outside NA and would never let Elvis out of his sight. You do know the Colonel was an immigrant from the Netherlands in the US illegally, yes? He couldn't apply for a passport without risking getting his ass deported back to Breda.
Sat. 8/10/13 12:50pm
pacific standard simon:
I thought Elvis was good buddies with Richard Nixon -- you'd think he could have put in the fix.
Sat. 8/10/13 12:50pm
nixon had other issues.
Sat. 8/10/13 12:50pm
Gaylord Fields:
And it's been reported that the Colonel was a person of interest in a murder case in the Netherlands, which complicatd things.
Sat. 8/10/13 12:53pm
Revolution Rabbit Nov63:
I really wish the energy & money would go into excellent Documentaries rather than 'DocuDramas' - but that's where the financing is ...BeachBoys certainly enuff story to tell tho'! I remember some TV thing - actor doing MikeLove trying to MantraMeditate away MurrayWilson's business perfidy : 'Nothing I can do...Nothing I can do'...
- 'HeyBaby'/'LoveMeDo' make me think of 'JohnLennon'sJukebox' :
- which I Link to a lot - but hey! it's great...
- That's quite interesting re Col.Parker considering Elvis is such an iconic American figure!...
Sat. 8/10/13 12:54pm
i think chris isaak is fantastic. just sayin'

Forever Blue is a terrific album. Thanks for playing this, Michael!
Sat. 8/10/13 12:56pm
Gaylord Fields:
The Colonel was the embodiment of the term "Dutch uncle" in his relationship to Elvis.
Sat. 8/10/13 12:57pm
he'd probably get more respect if he wasn't so fucking good looking, not that i hold that against him or anything.
Sat. 8/10/13 1:01pm
Queens L. Bow:
GF & others: Yep, I knew all that, just didn't want to make the post longer. There was a bio of the Colonel a few years ago that revealed/confirmed this (his criminal past, immigration status, etc.) & I wrote a couple of pieces about this for a now-defunct magazine. Now if someone really could write a good script, THAT story would make a great movie: a con man who got lucky, then spent his final years losing his fortune in Vegas.

Would you like to be able to purchase a house in a few years? Travel around the world? Retire before you are 90? Unless you won the lottery, chances are that you will need to save and invest to obtain many of the things you want. This module covers what you need to know to get started:
Chapter 1: The Power of Investing
Investing is the act of putting your money in a financial vehicle with the goal of making a profit. Basically, you are making your money work for you. Successful investing requires both a commitment to regularly setting aside money and choosing appropriate investment options based on your goals. Many people fall into the trap of playing it too safe, parking all of their savings in a savings account. Savings accounts and other zero risk options are a great choice for an emergency fund and short-term goals. However, they are not the best choice for goals with a longer timeframe. That is because the return they provide is extremely low, usually less than the rate of inflation (the general rise in the cost of goods and services over time). If the return is less than the rate of inflation, that essentially means you are losing money over time.
With stocks and bonds, the risk of losing some or all of your investment is higher but generally, so is your return. The higher your return, the less you have to invest each month to hit your goal. Compound interest (interest earned on interest) can help your earnings to increase significantly, especially when the return is high. The chart below shows the interest earned on an investment of $2,000 a year with a return of 1% and 5%.
Investing Is Not Gambling
When you invest, it is important to keep in mind that you are taking on some risk. However, there is a difference between investing and gambling. Gambling is making a bet on an outcome that is largely or completely determined by luck and hoping you will get a big payoff in a short period of time. Investing is committing money for the long-term in order to gain a reasonable financial return. A wise investor does research and makes risk-managed decisions instead of relying on luck.
Start Now!
It is easy to say you will start investing tomorrow, but procrastination will cost you. The earlier you begin to set money aside, the longer your savings has time to grow. If you started investing $200 per month in a vehicle earning an average of 5% a year, in 20 years, you would have $79,358 ($48,000 in contributions and $31,358 in interest earned). If you waited five years to start, you would have $51,789 ($36,000 in contributions and $15,789 in interest earned).

We just constructed out pond, how long should we wait to add fish?
Jay – Phoenix, AZ
When you create a new pond, you're effectively building a new ecosystem from scratch. At the beginning, your pond's waters might look clean, clear and inviting, but nature's just getting started. Until the initial nitrogen cycle is complete, there's still work to be done before fish can safely take up residence.
At its early stages, any new body of water – whether an indoor aquarium or a backyard pond – goes through the nitrogen cycle. This cycle begins when living organisms break down nitrogen through their natural digestive processes. Until that cycle is complete, concentrations of ammonia naturally build up in the water – and too much ammonia is extremely harmful to fish. Fortunately, with the introduction of natural bacteria in products like ourPond Logic® DefensePAC® to your pond, you can speed up the nitrogen cycle, making the pond safe for new fish in four to six weeks or less.
In addition to DefensePAC®, other products like Pond Logic® Stress Reducer PLUS and Pond Logic® Water Conditioner go a long way toward making new pond water inhabitable. Stress Reducer Plus helps fish to restore their natural protective slime coats, making them less vulnerable to illness. Water Conditioner helps to neutralize chlorine and other chemicals in the water that can lead to stress.
But simply adding DefensePAC®, Stress Reducer and Water Conditioner won't tell you when your water is ready to support piscine life. For that, you'll want to use our PondCare Master Pond Master Test Kit, which tests water for pH, ammonia, and nitrite. When readings are consistently within healthy ranges – as clearly explained in the Master Test Kit's documentation – you're ready to welcome your new fish to their new home.

Blogs and Blogging...
Check out the Zoom Cloud I've added in the sidebar. I have seen similar tag clouds on many blogs, and I decided to put one here just for fun.
On the first cloud or two when I was setting it up, some of the tags it came up with were just bizarre. I read in the FAQ that it bases the first cloud on the posts that happen to be in your site feed. Thus, it takes a period of time to develop a history and an accurate reflection of the blog's topics.
Someone had mentioned in the comments that you can force a lot of posts into your site feed by increasing the setting for the number of posts on the blog's main page and then republishing it. So, I tried that suggestion and now the cloud is a little more realistic.
I tried a couple of times to publish it with 999 posts on the front page. It kept giving an error, so then I published it with 200 posts on the front page. If anyone tried to visit my blog during all this, they probably had trouble loading the page.
Apparently Blogger thought I was spamming with those massive republishings. A word verification thing has now appeared on my "Create Post" page. I have to type the letters into the box before I can publish anything new.
I followed a link to a request form for Blogger to check my blog for spam. If they agree it's not spam, they'll remove the word verification thing. Hopefully they'll decide I'm innocent.
Update: I think they've also removed my blog from the "Recently Updated" and "Next Blog" lists. I also don't think they're publishing my site feed. I feel isolated.
Update: Yay! I got an e-mail from Google saying that I've been taken off the spammer list, and sure enough, I don't have a word verification box on the "Create Post" page now. And I think I was mistaken about the site feed, by the way. It was still being published.

Drug information provided by: IBM Micromedex
Haloperidol injection is used to treat nervous, emotional, and mental conditions (eg, schizophrenia). It is also used to control the symptoms of Tourette's disorder. This medicine should not be used to treat behavior problems in older adult patients who have dementia.
This medicine is available only with your doctor's prescription.
This product is available in the following dosage forms:
In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For this medicine, the following should be considered:
Tell your doctor if you have ever had any unusual or allergic reaction to this medicine or any other medicines. Also tell your health care professional if you have any other types of allergies, such as to foods, dyes, preservatives, or animals. For non-prescription products, read the label or package ingredients carefully.
Appropriate studies have not been performed on the relationship of age to the effects of haloperidol injection in the pediatric population. Safety and efficacy have not been established.
Appropriate studies performed to date have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of haloperidol injection in the elderly. However, elderly women are more likely to have an unwanted side effect called tardive dyskinesia, and elderly patients are more likely to have age-related heart problems, which may require an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving haloperidol injection.
There are no adequate studies in women for determining infant risk when using this medication during breastfeeding. Weigh the potential benefits against the potential risks before taking this medication while breastfeeding.
Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are receiving this medicine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is not recommended. Your doctor may decide not to treat you with this medication or change some of the other medicines you take.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines is usually not recommended, but may be required in some cases. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Using this medicine with any of the following medicines may cause an increased risk of certain side effects, but using both drugs may be the best treatment for you. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Using this medicine with any of the following is usually not recommended, but may be unavoidable in some cases. If used together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use this medicine, or give you special instructions about the use of food, alcohol, or tobacco.
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this medicine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
A nurse or other trained health professional will give you this medicine in a medical facility. It is given as a shot into one of your muscles.
Your doctor may give you a few doses of this medicine until your condition improves, and then switch you to an oral medicine that works the same way. If you have any concerns about this, talk to your doctor.
It is very important that your doctor check your progress while you receive this medicine to allow for changes in your dose and help reduce any unwanted effects.
Do not stop receiving Haldol® suddenly without asking your doctor. You may need to slowly decrease your dose before stopping it completely.
This medicine may cause serious allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis and angioedema, which can be life-threatening and require immediate medical attention. Tell your doctor right away if you have a rash, itching, hoarseness, trouble breathing, trouble swallowing, or any swelling of your hands, face, or mouth after receiving this medicine.
Contact your doctor as soon as possible if you have chest pain or discomfort, a fast heartbeat, trouble with breathing, or fever and chills. These may be symptoms of a very serious problem with your heart.
This medicine may cause tardive dyskinesia (a movement disorder). Check with your doctor right away if you have any of the following symptoms while receiving this medicine: lip smacking or puckering, puffing of the cheeks, rapid or worm-like movements of the tongue, uncontrolled chewing movements, or uncontrolled movements of the arms and legs.
Check with your doctor right away if you have any of the following symptoms while receiving this medicine: convulsions (seizures), difficulty with breathing, a fast heartbeat, a high fever, high or low blood pressure, increased sweating, loss of bladder control, severe muscle stiffness, unusually pale skin, or tiredness. These could be symptoms of a serious condition called neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS).
This medicine will often make you sweat less, causing your body temperature to increase. Use extra care not to become overheated during exercise or hot weather while you are receiving this medicine, since overheating may result in heat stroke. Also, hot baths or saunas may make you feel dizzy or faint while you are receiving this medicine.
This medicine may cause some people to become dizzy, drowsy, or may cause trouble with thinking or controlling body movements, which may lead to falls, fractures or other injuries. Do not drive or do anything else that could be dangerous until you know how this medicine affects you.
Dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting may occur, especially when you get up suddenly from a lying or sitting position. Getting up slowly may help. If this problem continues or gets worse, check with your doctor.
This medicine will add to the effects of alcohol and other CNS depressants (medicines that make you drowsy or less alert). Some examples of CNS depressants are antihistamines or medicine for allergies or colds, sedatives, tranquilizers, or sleeping medicine, prescription pain medicine or narcotics, medicine for seizures or barbiturates, muscle relaxants, or anesthetics, including some dental anesthetics. Check with your doctor before taking any of the above while you are receiving this medicine.
Haloperidol can temporarily lower the number of white blood cells in your blood, increasing the chance of getting an infection. If you can, avoid people with infections. Check with your doctor right away if you think you are getting an infection, or if you have a fever or chills, a cough or hoarseness, lower back or side pain, or painful or difficult urination.
Do not take other medicines unless they have been discussed with your doctor. This includes prescription or nonprescription (over-the-counter [OTC]) medicines and herbal or vitamin supplements.
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor or nurse immediately if any of the following side effects occur:
Some side effects may occur that usually do not need medical attention. These side effects may go away during treatment as your body adjusts to the medicine. Also, your health care professional may be able to tell you about ways to prevent or reduce some of these side effects. Check with your health care professional if any of the following side effects continue or are bothersome or if you have any questions about them:
Other side effects not listed may also occur in some patients. If you notice any other effects, check with your healthcare professional.
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.

How 6 Moms Made Money from Direct Sales
Millions of women are earning extra cash through direct sales. These moms are making a home-party business work for them.
Millions of women are weathering the still-tough economy by earning extra cash through direct sales: supplementing a salary that just doesn't cover everything or replacing one that vanished. Innovative options include power tools, home decor items, even professionally fitted bras. These moms are all making a home-party business work for them.
Ginny Fiscella, 47
Mom of two, ages 15 and 12
Lives in Overland Park, Kansas
Product: Silpada jewelry (silpada.com)
Started: 1999
Works: 4 days and 2 nights a week
Manages: 2,000
Earns: Over $200,000 per year
It's a typical workday in the Fiscella home: Ginny, leader of Silpada jewelry company's top sales force, makes phone calls in her home office, while husband Doug handles her administrative tasks from his laptop in the kitchen. The arrangement gives him time with daughters Caroline and Molly and frees Ginny to focus on what she does best—selling, recruiting, and motivating her team.
Backstory: In 1999 Ginny left her full-time job in hospice management when the family moved from Arizona to Kansas so that Doug could take a new job. Bored one afternoon, she browsed through a Silpada catalog that belonged to her sister-in-law. "Halfway through, I already had a $350 wish list," she says. So Ginny decided to become a rep to earn some free bling and hopefully make friends. She took $1,000 from savings to purchase display jewelry, conservatively calculating that she'd need 12 parties to replenish the account. Her first party yielded $1,500 in sales, $450 each in commission and free jewelry, and six more bookings. Doug said, "Something tells me we've got a good thing going here."
Then what? Within a year and a half, Ginny was earning $3,000 to $4,000 a month, doing two to three parties a week. However, not wanting to seem pushy, she wasn't recruiting her hostesses to sell. After her best friend signed up as a rep, and found she could finally afford to cover all her kids' sports activities, she told Ginny, "Shame on you for keeping this to yourself." That's when Ginny started recruiting anywhere and everywhere: at the supermarket, on vacation, even in restaurants. (When a fellow diner complimented her bracelets, Ginny gave them to her, along with an info kit. The woman became a rep a few weeks later.) By 2005, Ginny was making six figures annually from three parties a week and commissions on her team's sales. Meanwhile, Doug had changed jobs and was miserable. He decided to quit so Ginny could expand her business even more. His handling of car pools and homework has enabled her to achieve $1 million in cumulative retail sales and become the family's main breadwinner. Ginny admits initially feeling guilty about delegating "mom" tasks to Doug. "But I feel much more fulfilled now," says Ginny, "which is better for all of us."
Nakia Evans, 35
Mom of three, ages 18 and 16 (twins)

Earns: Around $40,000 per year
All it took was a few minutes of soaking her feet at a cousin's spa party for Nakia to fall in love with Soul Purpose all-natural scrubs. She started selling on nights and weekends to supplement what she earned as a full-time commercial property manager and subsidize her children's school trips, extracurriculars and proms. As she grew her team (which includes her mom and husband Robert, 39), she realized this was a great opportunity for teens too. "They always need money but have limited time to work," she says. Her son, James, 18, had already made some sales to friends and teachers. But Nakia envisioned a formal entrepreneurship program, with training and mentoring from seasoned sellers, teaching teens how to grow businesses that fit around schoolwork and activities.
Backstory: Nakia drafted a proposal for her Essential Soul Purpose Youth (ESPY) mentoring program, for ages 14 to 17, and pitched it to company CEO Nadine Thompson, who loved the idea. Nakia found 15 interested teens through her kids and sales force. They kicked off with a fashion show fundraiser in February 2011, with aspiring entrepreneurs modeling Soul Purpose makeup and clothes from local boutiques, to build buzz and recruit community mentors.
Then what? After training, teens consult with their mentors for a year, corresponding twice a month. "It's not just about business," says Nakia. "They cultivate life skills like goalsetting, decision-making and money management." The objectives mesh perfectly with the company's mission to empower women of color, and Soul Purpose is rolling out the ESPY mentoring program nationwide. "This prepares teens for the future," Nakia says. "I was a teen mom who struggled at times to make ends meet. I believe in teaching kids how to become financially independent."

Five years after leaving corporate America to be a full-time mom, Carrie started selling specialty foods to try to earn money to buy a new car. Her exhibit at a women's expo had basically zero foot traffic, but she noticed a booth with bras was packed. "The rep offered to fit me, and when I came out of the dressing room and checked the mirror, I looked like I had lost 10 pounds," says Carrie. "Who doesn't love that?"
Backstory: To earn a free bra, she volunteered to host a party. But before it rolled around, she'd researched the company and signed on as a consultant. "I couldn't stop talking about that bra," she says. "Being passionate about the product is key to success in direct sales." Fourteen friends attended her first event, learning about common problems like too much cleavage and nipple show-through. Then each got measured, privately, for a bra to suit her body type. "The transformations were amazing," says Carrie. "They stood taller and more confidently." She sold a lot that night, and asked those friends to have parties. "Try to book as many as you can in the first month to build momentum," she recommends.
Then what? Carrie recruits new hostesses and consultants at every event and saves customers' sizes for easy reordering. She now works three nights a week, typically two at parties and one on coaching calls, encouraging her team to set tangible personal earning goals. Her own income goes toward her mortgage, saving for her kids' college tuitions and charitable donations. "It helps to sell something that every woman needs," Carrie says. "Bra measurement is a dying art." One customer was so thankful to find a good-fitting bra that she bought six. "I never really thought of myself as a salesperson, but magic happens when you find a product you completely believe in."

Moving is a way of life when your spouse is in the Air Force—and makes it tough to hold down a regular job. "Who knows where the military will send us next," says Leah. "Now I can work wherever we go."
Backstory: Leah discovered Celebrating Home at a school PTO event, while living on Grand Forks Air Force base in North Dakota. Having just finished chemo for cervical cancer (she's in remission now), she hosted a party for fun. While it was winding down, her husband, David, 32, came in from his second job and said, "You could sell that stuff." Leah laughed it off, but David encouraged her to try. "He felt I needed something positive after being so sick," she says. When offered a start-up kit for half price as part of a special promotion, Leah bought in and lined up events with friends on the base, showing how to cook quick meals and set beautiful tables with the stoneware.
Then what? Within three months she'd earned enough so David could quit his second job. After the military relocated them to Denver, Lisa was fortunate to meet more potential reps while selling at a local crafts show and learn marketing tricks at the company's training conference. But a few months later, David was deployed to Afghanistan. While he was gone, Leah and the boys lived in Pennsylvania with his parents. Her mother-in-law connected her with possible hosts, and her eldest son, Luke, loaded the car before events. Even David pitched in, posting specials to his Facebook page. "This business provided a needed distraction," says Leah. "It helped me and the kids forget, even if for a few hours, how much we missed Dad." When David's tour of duty ended safely in June, the family celebrated with a beach vacation in Sea Isle City, New Jersey, thanks to Leah's earnings. Now back in Denver, Leah has sales reps in three states and a growing team.

Works: 25 hours per week

Earns: $32,000 per year
Backstory: Do-it-yourselfer Kate just wanted to buy a Tomboy Tools pink hammer, after seeing one in a magazine and reading about how sales benefited breast cancer research. But the closest rep was 250 miles away. Her husband suggested she become a sales consultant, since she'd have an untapped market.
Kate launched with Tool School 101, teaching how to use Tomboy's specially-sized-for-women equipment to fix leaks and unclog drains on mock toilets and sinks. The recession worked to her advantage too. I'd say, "Why pay a plumber, when you can do it yourself?"
Then what? To cultivate repeat business, Kate does specialty workshops on topics like Caulking, Energy Efficiency, and Drywall Repair. She strives for four events a month, targeting high-exposure home shows when possible. ("But I won't spend more than $500 on a booth.") Each tool party is an "empowerment session," she says. "I've met women who've never even held a hammer, yet they leave feeling capable of doing basic repairs." Kate has learned a lot too. She recently installed a ceiling fan all on her own. "When I switched it on and it didn't wobble, I felt incredibly accomplished," she says.

Backstory: This fourth-grade teacher at Hillcrest School in Lake Stevens, Washington, was sad to see enrichment activities eliminated by budget cuts. So she decided to subsidize them through her side job as an Avon lady.
Her first class fundraiser was in 2009. With the principal's permission, Darlene sent catalogs and letters to parents, explaining the goal: Sell what you can in two weeks (without kids going door to door, for safety's sake) and all profits will fund field trips and special events. Since she's in Avon's President's Club—a rank achieved when you sell over $10,100 in a year—the class would get at least 40% commission on sales. Her students' parents sold $1,100 worth of products, earning about $475. It enabled them to hear from a bat scientist while studying the book Stella Luna, and visit a nursing home to read to the elderly.
Then what? Since then, all fourth-grade teachers (and third, too) have joined in, gathering at Darlene's home with selected students to sort and pack orders. Last year's fundraiser covered a trip to the Adopt a Stream Foundation. This year, 125 students toured a local museum, and visited Fort Casey on the Puget Sound. "My kids feel a sense of accomplishment, knowing they make these things happen," she says. As student body advisor Darlene also spearheaded a fundraiser to benefit an 80-year-old school volunteer who'd retired. The money bought bulbs, mulch and a garden bench for the woman's yard, and the kids helped plant it all. "For me, Avon provides the means to give back," she says.
How to Start a Career in Direct Sales
The Internet is an awesome resource for info and advice from experienced sellers. Check out directselling411.com, directsaleshelpers.com and directsalestalk.com.

We all have weaknesses. One of mine is that I tend to be quite impatient. That's why, even though I adore homemade bread, I'm not going to babysit that dough for several hours!
Enter this week's guest, Silvia Colloca, my go-to expert (the other one is Vittorio of Viva la Focaccia) when it comes to bread making, including tips on cutting corners and reducing the waiting time.
Silvia is hands-down one of the best Italian food bloggers out there: on Silvia's Cucina, she shares lots of tasty, easy, healthy Italian recipes that she learned growing up in Milan from her mom and grandma. Just FYI, Silvia is also a successful movie and theater actress and mezzo soprano opera singer, trained at the prestigious music academy of Milan. For the past ten years, she has been married to one of the most beloved Australian actors, producers (and heart-throbs), Richard Roxburgh, and living in Sydney, where they are raising their adorable sons. Silvia somehow manages to do all of the above with remarkable grace and ease, and to look drop-dead gorgeous even when covered in flour.
Which, in theory, makes her one of those super-women we'd all like to hate: however, she also happens to be incredibly nice, modest, and laid-back, so you stand no chance: you are going to fall in love with her, and her delicious, authentic Italian food.
I was overjoyed when my friend Alessandra asked me if I could write a guest post on her blog DinnerInVenice. Alessandra and I both started our Italian food blogs back in 2011. Like Ale, I am an Italian-born woman, recently emigrated to an English speaking country (Australia) and, just like her, I have been fascinated and enamoured with the bounty of local produce and diverse cuisines my new home-land has to offer. However, I could not help but miss my Bella Italia, the very scents of it, its flavors. My most unsatisfied craving was "real" bread, Il pane. Fragrant, crunchy and bronzed, with its inviting crackly crust and a moist and airy crumb.
I have learnt to make it at home, from slow-proving sourdoughs to yeast-risen ones, for more immediate gratification. And every time a loaf is baking in my oven, I can simply close my eyes and smell my beloved Italy from my sunny Sydney kitchen.
- 2 cups wholewheat flour
- 1 cup high gluten flour (or all purpose, or 00 flour)
- 1 1/2 tbsp dried yeast stirred into 300 ml (1 1/4 cup) lukewarm water
- 1 tsp honey or barley malt syrup
- 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- milk or non-dairy milk for brushing
- 2-3 handfuls shelled pumpkin seeds (or sunflower seeds)
1. Place the flour in a large bowl, add the water and yeast, honey (or barley malt syrup) and oil.
2. Knead onto a floured surface for 3-4 minutes, then add the salt and keep keading for 3-5 minutes or until the dough is smooth and soft.
3. Transfer the dough into a floured bowl and cover with a kitchen towel.
4. After 30 minutes, stretch the dough to shape a rectangle, then fold it into three and onto itself. Place the dough back in the bowl. Repeat a second time after 30 minutes. Folding the dough will ensure the softest, moistest crumb.
5. Prove the dough in a warm spot until it has doubled in size.
6. Shape the dough into 6-8 rolls, and place them close together on a baking tray lined with parchment. Brush the top with milk, or buttermilk (or non-dairy milk) and top them with the seeds. Rest the rolls covered with a kitchen towel for 30-45 minutes. In the meantime bring your oven to 200 C (390 F)
7. Bake the rolls for 30-35 minutes, or until crusty and bronzed, and until the bottom sounds hollow when tapped. Allow to cool at room temperature before eating.

"Fujitsu is a leader in this area and provided very clear guidance on how data centres operate and how we can measure energy performance accurately. The knowledge and skills it provided enabled us to focus on practical issues.""
Tom Grosskopf, Metropolitan Branch Director, NSW Office of Environment and Heritage
The Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) is the NSW government agency charged with protecting and conserving NSW's natural environment, Aboriginal country and culture as well as built heritage. It also manages NSW national parks and reserves.
Sustainability is at the heart of the OEH's strategic vision. It researches, reports, educates and enables, providing support to communities, business and government to make positive changes to the environment.
OEH acts as the national administrator of NABERS on behalf of the other Australian state governments, and the national government.
NABERS is Australia's national programme for benchmarking the sustainability of building operations. Having identified the data centre sector as a significant and growing energy consumer, they wanted to introduce a tool to accurately evaluate the energy performance of data centres.
NABERS convened an industry technical working group to develop the tool. Like their other tools it would:
As a market leader, Fujitsu were invited to the group where it played an influential role, providing expert guidance on the variables that influence data centre energy consumption and taking the team on tour of their facilities.

BALTIMORE- UMBC senior forward Rachel McKee (Ellicott City, Md./Mount Hebron) scored on a first half penalty kick, but the Maine Black Bears scored with one second remaining in the first half and the two America East squads battled to a 1-1 double- overtime draw in pleasant conditions at Retriever Soccer Park.
UMBC (1-8-3, 0-2-1 America East) earned its first league point of the campaign, while Maine is now 5-4-2 overall and 1-1-1 in conference play.
The game was UMBC's first at home since Sept. 9.
"I think we did things this game that we haven't done in other games, we had a number of corner kicks, put pressure on their keeper, and had chances that we haven't seen in some of our prior games," said head coach Leslie Wray. "We are proud of that."
The Retrievers struck first in the 27th minute as the Black Bears were called for a hand-ball in the box. Although Maine freshman goalkeeper Lauren Swant dove to her left, McKee's shot was perfectly placed into the right corner of the cage.
The goal was McKee's second of the season and the 11th of her career.
The visitors evened the game just behind the halftime horn. UMBC attempted to clear the ball from the midfield area, but Maine reserve forward Eve L'Abbe picked it off and booted the ball ahead to classmate Charlene Achille. Achille held off a UMBC defender, avoided onrushing UMBC junior netminder Lauren Kadet (Oakville, Ontario/Sir Wilfrid Laurier) and poked the ball into an unguarded net from 14 yards out.
Maine applied early pressure in the second half, but the hosts had the better of the play in the final 25 minutes and overtime frames. UMBC had 10 corners to Maine's 3, including six of the seven awarded in the final 65 minutes and put in some dangerous crosses that Swant had to capture.
Maine outshot UMBC, 18-15. Kadet made seven saves, while Swant replied with four.
The Retrievers return home on Oct. 4 when they host America East foe Boston University for a 7:00 p.m. tilt.

A healthy FYI for all of you meat eaters: When buying beef, it's best to buy grass-fed since it contains more beneficial omega-3s and CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), but less saturated fat and calories than grain-fed beef. If you opt for organic then the beef should also be free of antibiotics, hormones, nitrates, and other harmful additives. Wondering what CLA is good for? CLA is believed to improve heart health, reduce cancer risk and increase lean muscle mass.
Omega-3 fatty acids, like those found in grass-fed meat and dairy, are changing the way we think about fat. More and more science is showing the benefits of certain fats and the low-fat craze isn't as crazy as it once was, but you can definitely still see remnants of this craze left and right when you look at common misconceptions still affecting store shelves and consumer choices today. There was a point in time when it was being portrayed as if every fat was bad for us – no egg yolks, no butter, etc . Interestingly enough, we have we seen a dramatic increase in obesity with the increase of low-fat and non-fat products.
So I have to break the news – the healthy, slender people of the world are not living on sugar-free, diet, non-fat, low-fat, reduced-fat, low-sodium processed foods. You'll find that the healthiest and happiest among us tend to have a diet of mainly whole foods. Those flavorful, nutrient-dense, wonderful foods in their original form. Yes, whole foods not only taste better, but are far more satisfying than their processed versions. In addition, you are much less likely to overeat when you're eating whole foods.
Think about it: You have that 50 calorie yogurt that has no fat yet it has artificial flavors, colors and 30 grams of sugar. Does that sound healthy? Does that sound like something your body will easily know how to process? NO and NO!
We need fat because fats provide us with a concentrated source of energy. Not to mention, they are the main material for cell membranes and various hormones. Without fat in your diet it is extremely hard to feel satiated and if you don't feel satiated then you are going to keep eating… Is anyone getting skinnier with that equation? Nope. The low-fat craze demonized all fats and neglected to inform consumers of the fact that fat has healthy forms and fat has a good and essential place in our diets!
So if you want to consume a healthy, balanced diet, you have to include the right fats. These good fats are found in a wide range of foods like fish, meat, milk, cheese, nuts, and olives. Even butter – yes, the real deal golden bar (again, organic grass-fed is best and the yellower it is the more nutritious it is) – is actually beneficial in small amounts and when eaten with something like steamed broccoli, it helps your body absorb the broccoli's nutrients. Also, butter is much better for you than margarine – that scary man-made, chemically altered fat.
So remember that not all fats are the enemy and there are many sources of healthy fat, which should be included on a daily basis in a well-balanced diet!

BALTIMORE – After a successful indoor season in which the women's track team took a conference-best second place at the America East Championships, the UMBC track and field teams open the outdoor season this weekend at the Florida State Relays in Tallahassee, Fla. A small group of Retriever athletes will compete at the meet which starts on Friday at Mike Long Track.
Sophomore sprinter, and recent USTFCCCA All-American, Mercedes Jackson (Huntingtown, Md./Huntingtown) leads the group of UMBC athletes down to the Sunshine State. The school record holder in four events, indoor and outdoor, Jackson just finished her indoor season two weeks ago by competing at the NCAA Championships in Arkansas in the 60m dash. A two-time America East gold medalist in the event, Jackson placed 13th at the national meet.
Last year as a freshman, Jackson carried her indoor success to the outdoor season where she broke the school mark in both the 100m (11.66) and 200m dash (23.80) events. At the conference meet at Maine, the sprinter won the 200m dash and finished second in the 100m competition to earn the Most Outstanding Female Rookie Award.
Junior Kirsten Jones (Brentwood, Tenn./M.L.K. Magnet) will also compete in the sprints for UMBC following a successful indoor campaign. At the ECAC meet in Boston, Mass., Jones broke the UMBC school record in the 400m (55.80) while also setting a person-best in the 200m (24.52) event. Jones currently occupies second in the 400m outdoor event in the school record book and fourth in the 200m event while helping the 4x100 relay team break the school record last year.
In the women's hurdles, sophomore Paulette Fogle (Washington, D.C./Bishop McNamara) takes to the track looking to improve on her already school-record time of 1:01.97 and earn a spot at the NCAA East Regionals after competing at the ECAC meet last year. During the indoor season, Fogle set the school record in the 500m long sprint and won the conference title.
For the men, seniors Dennison Long (Greenbelt, Md./Eleanor Roosevelt/FIU) and Trae Proctor (Brandywine, Md./Thomas Stone) both enter the outdoor season coming off of gold-medal winning performances at the America East Indoor Championships. Long captured both the 60m and 200m sprint events to earn Most Outstanding Male Track Athlete accolades while Proctor claimed the 60m hurdles for the third-straight year.
The Retrievers send five athletes, three women and two men, to compete in the 800m run at FSU. On the men's side, America East event champion Andrew Smith (Chadds Ford, Pa./Garnet Valley) and freshman Andrew Keresztes (Port Jefferson, N.Y./Port Jefferson) will compete, while Keresztes, a top-five conference finisher in the 1,000m, will also take part in the 1,500m run.
For the women, sophomore Sarah Daly (Lake Orion, Mich./Lake Orion) leads the trio after snapping the school record in the indoor event (2:12.65) at the ECAC Championships. She currently holds the sixth-best time in school history outside, while junior Cody Mezebish (Westminster, Md./South Carroll) has the fourth spot and will also compete in Florida, in addition to sophomore Mary Katherine Kulp (Vestal, N.Y./Vestal).
In the field events, a successful group competes for the Black and Gold. Indoor shot put school record holder Yao Adantor (Laurel, Md./Reservoir/Morgan State/Maryland) takes his first throws outside while sophomore Thor Serafenas (Olney, Md./Good Counsel) goes in the hammer. Senior Amanda Deller(Aberdeen, Md./Aberdeen), a three-time conference champion in the outdoor shot put, takes to the circle while freshman Nneoma Edokobi (Rockville, Md./Richard Montgomery) takes part in the hammer competition.
Senior Shioma Obemeata (New Rochelle, N.Y./Iona Prep/St. Francis), coming off of a conference title in the triple jump indoors, starts his outdoor season in Tallahassee in both the triple jump and high jump.
