I love Tom's Fennel toothpaste. Makes my mouth feel so clean and my teeth are much whiter. Couldn't ask for a better toothpaste.
FANTASTIC Product!

This item has been discontinued but Iherb has many similar items that are just as good!
An old standby
Posted by Reviewer2944104 on Mar 22, 2011
I have been using this toothpaste for maybe 20 years. It was 20 years ago my dentist said that my teeth would not last another five years. I still have my teeth. Sometimes, I use it with the Weleda salt toothpaste. It has become more difficult to find the product locally. I am hoping that Tom's has no plans to discontinue it. It's good stuff!
nice smell
Posted by Reviewer2074264 on Mar 02, 2011
It's my first toothpaste with no chemicals in it and it seems to do its work fine. I don't like only the feeling of wax on my teeth after using it.
Posted by Reviewer2084016 on Mar 01, 2011
I like it. It has a strange taste but i 'm used to it now
no complaints

Area under storm warning
ESCANABA – A winter storm warning remains in effect for Delta, Menominee, and Schoolcraft counties until 10 p.m. EST this evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Marquette, an axis of moderate to heavy snow is expected to develop across portions of central Upper Michigan as a low pressure system moves northeast across Lower Michigan and into Canada during the day today.
A winter storm warning for heavy snow and blowing snow means severe winter weather conditions are expected or occurring.
"Basically we're going to see some snow showers picking up in intensity throughout the day," said NWS meteorologist Jane Marie Wix.
The three-county area is expected to see between three to four inches today, while southern Menominee County could see snow totals of approximately five inches.
Snow will taper off this evening, but could result in approximately one-half inch of additional accumulation in Delta, Menominee, and southern Schoolcraft counties. The system will transition into lake effect snow affecting mostly Alger and Luce counties, said Wix.
Temperatures will also steadily drop throughout the day, reaching single digits in Menominee County and the low teens in both Delta and Schoolcraft counties. Wind chill values are expected to dip into the single digits this afternoon in the area, so those out and about are reminded to dress warmly and to keep their extremities covered.
Wix also noted It will get windier as the day continues with some wind gusts reaching 25 mph. Drivers should expect to face snow covered and slippery roads, while patchy blowing and drifting snow will make for difficult travel conditions.
"Especially since it's going to be on the breezy side, that's going to reduce visibility on the road," said Wix.

Peruvian anchoveta
The Peruvian anchoveta (Engraulis ringens) is a fish of the anchovy family, Engraulidae.
Anchoveta are pelagic fish in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, and are regularly caught on the coasts of Peru, and Chile. They live for up to 4 years, reaching 20 cm, with recruitment occurring after only about 6 months when they have already grown over 8 cm. It was previously thought that anchoveta ate mostly phytoplankton, small zooplankton, and larvae. However, recent work has shown that anchoveta get most of their energy from zooplankton and macrozooplankton (Espinoza & Bertrand 2008, Espinoza et al. 2009). Euphausiids and large copepods are the most important dietary components.
After a period of plenty in the late 1960s, the population was greatly reduced during the 1972 El Niño event, when warm water drifted over the cold Humboldt Current, and lowering the depth of the thermocline. Nutrient rich waters were then no longer upwelled and phytoplankton production decreased, leaving the anchoveta with a depleted food source.
Since the mid 1980s, the Peruvian anchoveta has again become very abundant, with current catch levels being comparable to those of the 1960s.
Until about 2005 the anchoveta was almost exclusively used for making fishmeal, and in fact Peru produces some of the highest quality fishmeal in the world. Since 2005 anchoveta is increasingly used for direct human consumption, as fresh fish, as canned fish or as salted-matured fillets packed in oil. Peruvian canned anchoveta is sold as Peruvian canned sardines.[1] The new use is sometimes called the second anchoveta boom, the first boom being the discovery and subsequent fishery and fishmeal production in the 1960s/70s. The second boom was kick-started by the Peruvian Fish Technology Institute CIP, assisted by FAO. A large scale promotion campaign including by the Peruvian President at the time, Alan Garcia, helped to make the anchoveta known by rich and poor alike. Previously it was not considered as food and hardly known among the population, now it is found in supermarkets and served in restaurants. Still, only 1 percent of anchovy catches are used for direct human consumption and 99 percent continue to be reduced to fishmeal and oil.[2]
Culinary Aspects: Anchovy vs Anchoveta
Canned anchovy fillets commonly sold in the US are intensely salty and exclude skin and bones. They're often marked "Product of Morocco". These are salted-matured anchovy fillets. Canned anchovetas sold in Peru and elsewhere are almost identical to the canned sardines widely available in the US, hence the name "Peruvian sardines".

Simple and effective ways to treat close encounters with the Tarmac
Sooner or later, all triathletes hit the deck, and the result, more often than not, is road rash. Thankfully, such abrasions usually require only basic care, but it must be the right care. Dr Helen Iams has worked as Medical Director for races such as the US Pro Criterium Championships. "Pro riders give me lots of practice with road rash," she says. Here's her prescription for fast healing.
Before sizing up skin loss, check for other injuries. "I've had riders come into the medical tent with cracked-open helmets, but no idea they had hit their head," says Iams. If you're with a group and the injured rider has slow or slurred speech, call for medical assistance. If you're riding solo, carry a mobile phone. And if you're wondering how to evaluate the seriousness of a gash, Iams has a rule: if you can't stop the bleeding by applying pressure for 15 minutes, you need stitches.
After a crash, you may be tempted to douse your wound with water from your drinks bottle to clean it up. "That's not a bad idea to get rid of any dirt," says Iams, "but the bacteria on the bottle valve are bad." Antiseptic wipes are a much better bet, she says.
Wash the rash as soon as you get home. To clean it well, says Iams, you should begin with painkillers. She recommends blanketing the wound with 10 x 10cm gauze pads saturated with antiseptic wash. "I let the wash soak in for a few minutes until the nerves are numbed," she says. Then she gently wipes the grime from the scrape using soap and water. "You need to get all the grit, bits of asphalt, everything," she says. "That stuff can have bacteria behind it." Stay clear of iodine, alcohol and hydrogen peroxide.
"They damage skin cells. The less damage there is to the skin, the faster it heals." For stubborn, sticky contaminants such as road tar, Iams recommends baby oil. "It will dissolve the tar, and you won't need to scrub."
After you wash the area, cover the abrasion to keep it clean and moist. Iams applies bacitracin, which kills bacteria and prevents the wound from drying or sticking to the bandage. Then she uses generic nonstick, gauze-type bandages, secured with silk tape. "I use cheap dressings until the oozing stops, maybe for a few days," she says. Then it's time for advanced hydrocolloid bandages - precious items for road-rash victims. "Put them on, and just leave them for a week until they fall off," she says. "They keep bacteria out, but let water come through and evaporate." Iams's other days- after tips include icing the injured area to reduce swelling, and hotfooting it to your doctor if you think the wound requires a second opinion.
Could have been an excellent piece - but will everyone have such items in their home, or know how to buy them? What's antiseptic wash? And bacitracin - can it be bought over the counter? Advanced hydrocolloid bandages? That's very American - we call them plasters or at least dressings here; bandages are totally different.
And a 10cm x 10cm pad won't do much for a 20cm graze...
A negative response, I know, but not everyone has instant understanding of medical terms. Of course we can all use Google, but simple editing queries could have made this a very useful piece, if only as a reminder to top up the first aid box.
Melanin is the pigment in your skin and hair, Cougie.
bacitracin? Surely overuse of antibiotics, I doubt you would be able to get it here for road rash?
Is this a badly pinched American article?
Hydrocolloid dressings are things like Compeed, and the dressing you used was probably Melolin Cougie.

"Social and emotional knowledge" can be taught in school "just like trigonometry or French grammar," some psychologists believe. From the Boston Globe:
. . . a typical teaching unit might include a role-playing exercise, or a set of diagrams breaking down the components of different facial expressions, or, in older children, a discussion of the subtle differences between disgust and contempt.
Some of this sounds like the social skills classes offered to kids with Asperger's Syndrome and other forms of autism.
Around 10 percent of American grade school and high school students now go through some form of social and emotional learning curriculum, according to the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), a Chicago-based emotional learning research organization. A handful of states have instituted emotional learning guidelines for their public schools – the most comprehensive is Illinois's, which sets "self-management," "social awareness," and "interpersonal skills" benchmarks, among others, for kids at each grade level.
At high-scoring Scarsdale Middle School and elsewhere, empathy is showing up in the curriculum, reports the New York Times.
English classes discuss whether Friar Laurence was empathetic to Romeo and Juliet. Research projects involve interviews with octogenarians and a survey of local wheelchair ramps to help students identify with the elderly and the disabled. A new club invites students to share snacks and board games after school with four autistic classmates who are in separate classes during the day.
Los Angeles is using Second Step, which "teaches empathy, impulse control, anger management and problem solving," in its middle schools. Seven Seattle elementary schools are using Roots of Empathy.
I'm dubious about adding another responsibility — one traditionally handled by parents — on to teachers' shoulders. It's one thing to insist that students learn to behave in class; it's another to take on their social and emotional development. Also, I know there's little research backing the effectiveness of these programs in changing students' behavior.
Teachers, what do you think? Should "relating" become the fourth R?

From what I can gather, the process of signing players in Latin America (especially after the signing bonus and birth certificate fiascos) is much more lengthy. I believe Jerry has some guys that he'd like to announce as signed but can't until it's cleared through Major League Baseball. I can tell you for a fact that Jerry and his scouts are working hard to make inroads in Latin America. The process is just more difficult for the reasons listed earlier.

I know, I know. It's hard to separate the old image of Victoria Beckham, the Spice Girl and soccer WAG who used to permanently occupy the worst dressed list, from the New, Improved Victoria Beckham of the past several years, who always looks impeccably put together and who runs one of the only legitimate celebrity-backed fashion lines in the business. Beckham's is one of the most profound style shifts in recent memory, but at this point, though, you conflate the new with the old at your own peril - the Victoria Beckham Fall 2012 handbags are THAT good.
See that bag up there? Luxurious, just minimal enough, dove grey with a gorgeous dark sage python inset? It's among the chicest handbags that I've seen from any designer for Fall 2012, and that's including all the big handbag names who have all the money in the world to hire the best accessories designers. Victoria has done a lot of stuff correctly with her fledging line, including hiring incredibly talented people to bring her vision to life. Don't deny yourselves something great just because of the name associated with it - that's just as silly as buying a terrible bag only because it's from a brand you like. Check out the full collection after the jump.

China-based Inspur Group showed interest in acquiring Qimonda as a fully-functional company, however, it decided to obtain research and development operations of the failed DRAM company in China instead.
"It is the only research center in the PRC with advanced technology up to the global standard for the development of DRAM products. We plan to further invest 100 million Chinese Yuan in the infrastructure of the Inspur Group Integrated Circuit Design and Research Centre, enhancing the integrated circuit design capacity," said Sun Pishu, president of Inspur Group, reports EETimes web-site.
The center has been renamed the Xian Huaxin Semiconductor Company. Inspur Group acquired the center for a consideration of 30 million Chinese yuan (about $4 million) and provides the company with a team of IC designers, according to EETimes.

I'm very disappointed. [V] I thought it would easily land in the top 10. I just read an article that said Capital showed little if any interest in trying to promote the album. I haven't seen hardly any ads to promote "Brainwashed."
I know there is a delicate line you have to walk when promoting the work of somebody who has recently passed on. George was the "quiet Beatle" and he didn't like too much publicity. But he was also a great musician. "Brainwashed" is one of his best works ever. It's too bad more people aren't aware of it or aware how good it is.

Recently I had the pleasure of joining U.S. Ambassador to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Fay Hartog Levin, and a diverse and engaging assemblage of Afghans, Dutch, and Americans in The Hague for an important and timely conference entitled, "Empowering Women in Afghanistan: Stability Through Rural Development." The United States and The Netherlands share over 400 years of strong diplomatic ties and this opportunity brought us together to emphasize the critical need to continue supporting the vital role of Afghan women in peace, security, and economic development processes.
The conference, hosted by the U.S. Embassy, The Hague, in partnership with the Atlantic Commission, welcomed a full house of approximately 130 government officials, parliamentarians, diplomats, students, academics, and media representatives. In its interactions with the wide range of conference panelists and speakers the audience raised the ongoing challenges for women and girls in Afghanistan, challenges with which we all are too familiar.
As levels of assistance to Afghanistan begin to decrease, targeted investment becomes ever more critical for the country's stability. This is particularly the case in areas related to economic development such as agriculture, where one-third of Afghanistan's economy is represented. In The Hague we discussed the extremely important role women are playing in all dimensions of agriculture, including in livestock production, processing of dairy products, and contributions to a number of marketed products. For every dollar a woman earns, up to 90 percent of it is reinvested in her family and in her community.
Dutch Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal and I had an excellent meeting prior to the conference where we discussed a range of issues, including the importance of ensuring women are included at the decision-making tables. The Foreign Minister strongly relayed this sentiment when he later spoke at the conference: "It's not just political decision-making," he explained. "We're talking about leverage. The word is 'power.' That's what it is all about." Afghan women want to be part of their country's power sharing and thereby contribute to the stability and prosperity of Afghanistan. This is not a favor to Afghan women, but rather it is a necessity for Afghanistan to sustain full economic growth and security. Any potential for peace will be subverted if women's voices are silenced or marginalized.
I am inspired every day by the courageous women leaders of Afghanistan, two of whom played an active role at the conference. Palwasha Kakar, Deputy Minister in the Afghan Ministry of Women's Affairs and Palwasha Hassan, representing the Afghan Women's Network, exemplified the strength of women leaders in powerful positions coming together to make a difference for their country. And we will continue our commitment to them, to their country, and to the region as we and the Afghans make progress on a new strategic partnership and build stronger economic ties through South and Central Asia, ties which will include women having access to equal economic opportunities -- alongside men.

Kids in Kenya is a non-profit organisation founded by Pauline Browne-Cooper in 2006 and is dedicated to improving the educational opportunities of thousands of disadvantaged children in a poor and remote community in western Kenya. Run by a small group of committed and enthusiastic volunteers, Kids in Kenya initially set out to provide basic materials such as pens and paper, footballs and rubber thongs by purchasing the goods in Nairobi, and personally delivering them to the schools in Usonga, thereby ensuring they arrived intact, and that they reached the children most in need.
Over the years the vision grew and now Kids in Kenya has constructed a community library which is used by more than 7,000 children and villagers and has become the focal meeting point of the community-at-large.
"Organising volunteer trips over the years has been a joy, the volunteers become the life blood of the village" says Browne-Cooper, founder of Kids in Kenya,
"… they immerse themselves in village life, working on projects and making their mark".
Tom & Meg Gervay, members of The Rotary Club of Sydney Cove; Deb King, educator; our UK contingent Samantha Hunt, passionate about education of disadvantaged kids, Steve Bowden, soccer player, team player & Paule, founder & trustee.
Thanks to all you Australians who support Kids in Kenya and who care about education and the opportunities it creates. Without you, Kids in Kenya and Usonga Community Library would not be what it is today... an incredible success story.
There is much to do to help these kids fulfil their dreams of an education – contact us to see how you can assist us.

David Akers (1975/88): Overall, the 1915-S is a bit more rare than the 1910 through 1914 San Francisco mint issues (except, of course, the 1913-S) but there seems to be a few more high quality (MS-64 or better) examples of the 1915-S around than there are of the 1910-S, 1912-S, 1914-S and even the 1909-S. The 1915-S is definitely rare in every Mint State grade, and even at the MS-63 level relatively few examples are ever seen. In MS-64 and MS-65, this issue is very rare and seldom available. The Kruthoffer specimen was the best, or at least the prettiest, I have seen and it realized $29,000 in 1981. It is now owned by Dr. Philip Weinstein. A coin I purchased across the counter in 1973 when I worked at Paramount was also virtually perfect and is now in a prominent Midwest collection. A Dale Williams Galleries sale of a few years ago had a sensational MS-65+ example that is now owned by a prominent Eastern collector; Dr. Steven Duckor and Ed Trompeter also have full MS-65 coins, and I have seen a small number of others such as the 1975 Central States Sale specimen.
The 1915-S is almost always very sharply struck and most specimens have excellent lustre. Quite often the obverse has the broad rim and partial wire edge seen on other San Francisco mint eagles from 1911 through 1916. The surfaces are fully frosty and display little or no granularity. The color is invariably excellent on this issue, typically light to medium orange, often highlighted with greenish gold. Some light to medium coppery gold specimens are also known.

U.S. Stocks Dive as Stimulus Uncertainties Persist
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- U.S. stocks sank Wednesday as uncertainty about the direction of global stimulus programs put a brake on sentiment that the recovery of the world's largest economy may be strengthening.
TheS&P 500 fell 0.84% to close at 1,612.52. The decline came after the index rose as much as 0.7% in early trading. The S&P 500 posted its third-consecutive daily decline. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also lost 0.84% and slipped below 15,000 at 14,995.23 while the technology-heavyNasdaq declined 1.06% to 3,400.43.
"I think a little bit of caution is always good, but just trying to evaluate what does it mean when the Federal Reserve stops giving everybody free money," said Ron Florance, managing director of investment strategy at Wells Fargo Private Bank. "We're in the cycle where instead of buying on the dips, people are selling on the spikes and, I think, re-positioning portfolios for quarter end."
First Solar was the deepest decliner on the S&P a day after the company announced it would offer 8.5 million shares of common stock. Shares of the Tempe, Ariz.-based company dropped 10.7% to $46.66.

Perhaps we should have an announcements-only mailing list as well as the bb, if we don't already? Perhaps now would be a good chance to collect email addresses to get one started?

Featured New Nonfiction for Summer
Click here for a list of all our new nonfiction titles!
The summer of beer and whiskey : how brewers, barkeeps, rowdies, immigrants, and a wild pennant fight made baseball America's game by Edward Achorn (796.357 A) -- Chris von der Ahe knew next to nothing about baseball when he risked his life's savings to found the franchise that would become the St. Louis Cardinals. Yet the German-born beer garden proprietor would become one of the most important—and funniest—figures in the game's history. Edward Achorn re-creates this wondrous and hilarious world of cunning, competition, and boozing, set amidst a rapidly transforming America. It is a classic American story of people with big dreams, no shortage of chutzpah, and love for a brilliant game that they refused to let die.
Backyard foraging : 65 familiar plants you didn't know you could eat by Ellen Zachos (581.632 Z) -- Trying to eat locally? Discover food in the plant life all around you. Learn to eat your way around the block! Your backyard or a nearby park or vacant lot might be rich with edible possibilities. The author leads you through harvesting etiquette, plant identification, and tips on how to eat the leaves, flowers, nuts, seeds, roots, and mushrooms that are there for the taking. Foraging is the fun, safe, and free way to eat locally.
Where there's smoke : simple, sustainable, delicious grilling by Barton Seaver (641.5784 S) -- This second cookbook from Barton Seaver—following For Cod and Country—sends the rising authority on sustainable foods to the sweet, smoky grill, where he showcases his love of fresh, organic produce, fish, beef, and poultry. Emphasizing seasonal vegetables and accompaniments as much as the protein, Seaver serves up recipes designed to celebrate the spirit of togetherness—including Wood-Grilled Snap Peas with Smoky Aioli, Grilled Pacific Halibut with Pistachio Butter, Peruvian Chicken, Chimichurri Marinated Short Ribs, and Pickled Smoked Peaches. In addition to mouthwatering dishes, Seaver gives the nitty-gritty on fueling your fire; preparation and cooking; recipes for sauces, spice mixes, and marinades; and ways to eat smartly and healthily.
The drunken botanist : the plants that create the world's great drinks by Amy Stewart (581.632 S) -- Sake began with a grain of rice. Scotch emerged from barley, tequila from agave, rum from sugarcane, bourbon from corn. Thirsty yet? In The Drunken Botanist, Amy Stewart explores the dizzying array of herbs, flowers, trees, fruits, and fungi that humans have, through ingenuity, inspiration, and sheer desperation, contrived to transform into alcohol over the centuries.
Cleaning house : a mom's 12-month experiment to rid her home of youth entitlement by Kay Wills Wyma (649.1 W) -- Dismayed at the attitude of entitlement that had crept into her home, Kay Wyma got some attitude of her own. Cleaning House is her account of a year-long campaign to introduce her five kids to basic life skills and the ways meaningful work can increase earned self-confidence and concern for others. With irresistible humor and refreshing insights, Kay candidly details the ups and downs of equipping her kids for such tasks as making beds, refinishing a deck chair, and working together. The changes that take place in her household will inspire you to launch your own campaign to dislodge your kids from the center of their universe.
Smile at strangers : and other lessons in the art of living fearlessly by Susan Schorn (152.46 S) -- Full of hilarious hijinks and tactical wisdom, Schorn's quest for a more satisfying life features practical—and often counterintuitive—lessons about safety and self defense. Smile at strangers, she says. Question your habits, your fears, your self-criticism: Self-criticism is easy. Self-improvement is hard. And don't forget this essential gem: Everybody wants to have adventures. Whether they know it or not. Join the adventure in these pages, and come through it poised to have more of your own.
Yes, I could care less : how to be a language snob without being a jerk by Bill Walsh (428 W) -- There is a world out there beyond the stylebooks, beyond Strunk and White, beyond Lynne Truss and Failblogs. In his long-awaited follow-up to Lapsing Into a Comma and The Elephants of Style, while steering readers and writers on the proper road to correct usage, Walsh cautions against slavish adherence to rules, emphasizing that the correct choice often depends on the situation. He might disagree with the AP Stylebook or Merriam-Webster, but he always backs up his preferences with logic and humor.
The secret lives of baked goods : sweet stories & recipes for America's favorite desserts by Jessie Oleson Moore (641.815 M) -- Have you ever wondered where the ideas for baking red velvet cupcakes, brownies, birthday cake, Girl Scout cookies, and other dessert recipes came from? Discover the history behind America's most popular and nostalgic desserts with popular CakeSpy blogger and self-proclaimed "dessert detective" Jessie Oleson Moore. Moore has put her sweet-sleuthing skills to work uncovering the fascinating histories and tastiest recipes for America's favorite sweets, including whoopee pies, chocolate chip cookies, Baked Alaska, and New York cheesecake. From romantic musings on how desserts got their names to sugar-fueled scandals, these classic recipes and photographs are guaranteed to offer food for thought and leave you with plenty of room for dessert.
How to grow perennial vegetables by Martin Crawford (635 C) -- Perennial vegetables are a joy to grow and require a lot less time and effort than annuals. In this book Martin Crawford gives comprehensive advice on all types of perennial vegetables (edible plants that live longer than three years) including coppiced trees, aquatic plants and edible woodland species. There are many advantages to growing perennial vegetables, for example: they need less tillage than conventionally grown vegetables, so the soil structure is not distrubed in their cultivation and carbon is retailed int he soil. They extend the harvesting season, especially in early spring; they are often of more value to beneficial insects than are annual vegetables; many perennial vegetables contain higher levles of mineral nutrients than annuals.
Paleofantasy : what evolution really tells us about sex, diet, and how we live by Marlene Zuk (599.9 Z) -- Contrary to what the glossy magazines would have us believe, we do not enjoy potato chips because they crunch just like the insects our forebears snacked on. And women don't go into shoe-shopping frenzies because their prehistoric foremothers gathered resources for their clans. As Zuk compellingly argues, such beliefs incorrectly assume that we're stuck—finished evolving—and have been for tens of thousands of years. Our nostalgic visions of an ideal evolutionary past in which we ate, lived, and reproduced as we were "meant to" fail to recognize that we were never perfectly suited to our environment. Armed with a razor-sharp wit and brilliant, eye-opening research, Zuk takes us to the cutting edge of biology to show that evolution can work much faster than was previously realized, meaning that we are not biologically the same as our caveman ancestors.
The iPad for photographers : master the newest tool in your camera bag by Jeff Carlson (004.165 C) -- Apple's popular iPad and iPad mini tablets are incredibly useful tools for photographers on the go. Instead of hauling a laptop, you can tuck a lightweight iPad in your camera bag and take advantage of its large screen, third-party software apps, and online access to effectively complete and share your work away from the studio.
I'll seize the day tomorrow by Jonathan Goldstein (813 G) -- Jonathan Goldstein worries. A lot. A year before his fortieth birthday, and Jonathan isn't where he thinks he should be. With no wife, no kids, no car, and no house—not even a houseboat—what does he have? Through a series of wonderfully funny stories, Jonathan recounts the highs and lows of his last year in his thirties, weighing in on topics such as the mysterious McRib, whether an automatic hand dryer can tell if you have a soul, and the underestimated power of a toy poodle. Filled with Jonathan's trademark wit, I'll Seize the Day Tomorrow is the tale of one man's journey to find some great truth on his road to forty . . . or maybe not.
How to make a zombie : the real life (and death) science of reanimation and mind control by Frank Swain (398.45 S) -- The search for the means to control the bodies and minds of our fellow humans has been underway for millennia, from the sleep-inducing honeycombs that felled Pompey's army to the famous voodoo potions of Haiti. But recently, science has taken up the quest. Science punk Frank Swain digs into the reality of zombies: dog heads brought back to life without their bodies; secret agents dosing targets with zombie drugs; parasites that push their hosts to suicide or sex changes; bulls and rats commanded by remote control; city streets designed to quell violent thoughts; interrogation techniques used by the military; and viruses that take over the body and won't let go. Packed with untold stories moldering in the corners of archives and labs, How to Make a Zombie is a mind-bending, entertaining excavation of incredible science.
Double double : a dual memoir of addiction by Martha Grimes and Ken Grimes (B GRIMES) -- Now, award-winning mystery writer Martha Grimes and her son, Ken Grimes, offer two points of view on their struggles with alcoholism. In alternating chapters, they share their stories—stories of drinking, recovery, relapse, friendship, travel, work, success, and failure. For Martha, it was about drinking martinis at home, sometimes with friends, sometimes alone. For Ken, it was partying in bars and clubs. Each hit bottom. Martha spent time doing outpatient rehabilitation, once in 1990 and again two years later. Ken began twelve-step recovery. This candid memoir describes how different both the disease and the recovery can look in two different people—even two people who are mother and son.
The shadow king : the bizarre afterlife of king Tut's mummy by Jo Marchant (932.014 M) -- The mummy's "afterlife" is a modern story, not an ancient one. Award-winning science writer Jo Marchant traces the mummy's story from its first brutal autopsy in 1925 to the most recent arguments over its DNA. From the glamorous treasure hunts of the 1920s to today's high-tech scans in volatile modern Egypt, Marchant introduces us to the brilliant and sometimes flawed people who have devoted their lives to revealing the mummy's secrets, unravels the truth behind the hyped-up TV documentaries, and explains what science can and can't tell us about King Tutankhamun.

Cramer's 6 Stocks in 60 Seconds: CMI CVX PG BUD PRGO DNDN (Update 1)
(Updates from 10:31 a.m. ET with closing information.)
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Here's what Jim Cramer had to say on CNBC's "Squawk On The Street" Friday:
The stock of truck maker Cummins (CMI) has gotten ahead of itself and needs to come in, while oil giant Chevron (CVX) , a stock Cramer owns for his charitable trust, Action Alerts PLUS, has been a wild trader of late. CMI shares ended Friday down 1.7% but CVX rose 1.4%.
Cramer thinks shares of Procter & Gamble (PG) , another Action Alerts PLUS holding, would be headed higher if only the company split itself up, but he is a fan of Anheuser-Busch Inbev (BUD) , an inexpensive stock he said "is working." PG ended the day flat but BUD was up 1.4%.
Rounding out the group, Cramer said many investors are piling into generic drug maker Perrigo (PRGO) because of the current flu season, but he cautioned the flu is only a one-time event. He was bullish on Dendreon (DNDN) . Investors sent PRGO 5.8% lower Friday but pushed DNDN 21.1% higher at the close.

Stock Futures Pare Gains After GDP Data
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stock futures were paring gains Thursday after investors weighed a smaller-than-expected revision of fourth-quarter gross domestic product data against better-than-anticipated jobless claims numbers.
Futures continued to point higher though, even as the sequestration deadline in the U.S. loomed, amid indications of continued global central bank support.
"U.S. equity markets thus far have been resilient to political developments in Italy and looming federal spending sequestration, due to take effect on Friday," noted Bricklin Dwyer, an economist at BNP Paribas.
Futures for the Dow Jones Industrial Average were up 2 points, or 3.63 points above fair value, at 14,062. Futures for the S&P 500 were up 1.25 points, or 2.46 points above fair value, at 1517. Futures for the Nasdaq were up 4.5 points, or 4.34 points above fair value, at 2745.
Major U.S. stock averages surged Wednesday, with the Dow within striking distance from its all-time high, on a raft of good economic data and as Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke signaled ongoing support for accommodative monetary policies.
The Labor Department said initial jobless claims in the week ended Feb. 23 were 344,000, a decrease of 22,000 from the previous week's upwardly revised 366,000. The four-week moving average was 355,000, a decline of 6,750 from the previous week's 361,750.
Continuing claims in the week ended Feb. 16 were 3.074 million, a fall of 91,000 from the preceding week's upwardly revised level of 3.165 million.
Economists, on average, predicted initial jobless claims of 360,000 and continuing claims of 3.15 million.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis' second estimate on fourth-quarter gross domestic product was an increase of 0.1% versus a decrease of 0.1% in the previous estimate. Economists were expecting a revised increase of 0.5%.
At 9:45 a.m. EST, the Chicago PMI for February is expected to show a tick down to 54 from 55.6.
Fed Governor Sarah Bloom Raskin speaks at Atlanta Fed's Banking Outlook Conference at 12:30 p.m.
Overseas markets were mostly higher Thursday amid confidence that global central banks will continue to lend support to the economy. European Central Bank President Mario Draghi also said that he anticipates accommodative policies to continue.
The Nikkei Average in Japan finished ahead by 2.71% and the Hong Kong Hang Seng index finished up 1.96%. The FTSE 100 in London rose 0.29% and the DAX in Germany was up 0.51%.
Gold for April delivery was off $9.40 to $1,586.30 an ounce at the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, while April crude oil futures were down 32 cents to $92.44 a barrel.
The benchmark 10-year Treasury was rising 6/32, diluting the yield to 1.882%. The dollar was rising 0.06%, according to the U.S. dollar index .
In corporate news, J.C. Penney's (JCP) fourth-quarter loss widened from a year earlier as sales plunged almost 30%. Shares were plunging more than 17% in premarket trading.

Short takes from Tupper to Saranac Lake, 1935
The Syracuse Post-Standard used to be quite the competition for the Enterprise and during the 1950s and '60s had a full-time reporter in Saranac Lake. The North Country page of the Post-Standard was laid out like page one but with headlines about the Tri-Lakes and Malone. Here are a few of those stories from February 1935.
Tupper Lake
CCC honored
"Conservation Commissioner Lithgow Osborne and part of his Albany staff of state officers joined with ranking Army officers Wednesday evening to make awards to men of CCC [Civilian Conservation Corps] camps at Barnum Pond and Wanakena for outstanding service to the Conservation Department in 1934. The Commissioner addressed the men as 'fellow conservationists'.
"The town hall at Tupper Lake was filled with CCC men from the Paul Smith's Camp, the Wanakena Post and the Cross Clearing and Fish Creek Ponds.
"Mayor Frank J. McCarthy of Tupper Lake, Robert E. Minnich, former state commander of the American Legion, John L. Halpin, secretary of the conservation and Captain Charles Eckert and W. E. McGuire of Barnum Pond and Wanakena were among the notables present."
Running for village office
"Following closely the announcement of the three sets of candidates who will seek election to the village board of Trustee on March 19, Richard Moubar, president of the Citizen's Club made public the recent action of the club in voting to follow a 'hands-off' policy.
"Voters in March will make their choice between Mayor Frank J. McCarthy and his Democratic Trustees, Dominick Camelo and Ernest Laramay, or Edward Harvey, Charles Fletcher and N. B. Sparks, the Republicans hope of victory. J. A. Villnave, William Snyder and Fred Fenn are candidates on the Independent ticket but have not yet presented designating petitions so that there names may be placed on the ballots."
The OWD team
"The only holiday attraction scheduled for this village is Washington's birthday will be a basketball game between the fast Oval Wood Dish team of Tupper Lake and the Wonder Five team of St. Regis Falls. The game will be played at the O.W.D. hall at 8:15 o'clock after a preliminary between two fast girls' teams of this village.
"Not the least bit downhearted over a 37-20 defeat last week at the hands of the Saranac Lake Chiefs, the Dishmen will attempt to better their record by "taking" the fast St. Regis five that last year was defeated but once in 22 games. The visitors are coached by Charley Lemieux.
"Coach Bill Hunte will offer a new lineup for the game Friday night. Bertraud, ace center , probably will lead the attack with Burke and Chas. Twohey or Beauchamp at forward positions. Tommy Christian, former high school and H.G.A. coach, has been assisting Hunt both on the floor at guard position and as assistant coach. He will be teamed with Tenant of Synder or Benjamin at the other guard position. Lanthier and Bud Russell will be in reserve."
Saranac Lake
"Connected with the village water department for nearly 24 years, Leo Demerse, eldest son of the late William M. Demerse, has been named superintendent of the water system in this village, according to Wayne E. Timmerman, village manager."
"With the exception of a three-year period during the war, he has been employed by the village since June 1908, working under the supervision of his father, who was superintendent for 36 years."
"Proceeds from the three act comedy, "A Sweeping Victory," will be presented Monday evening in the town hall under the auspices of the Saranac Lake Lodge 803, Women of the Moose, will be divided between the hot lunch fund in the public schools and the Saranac Free Library.
"With members of the Saranac Lake Dramatic club making up the cast, the production is being directed by Miss Kathleen Wilkins. In the cast are Percy Miller, Walter Kelly, Lawrence Boyer, Donald Eldred, Willis Currier, Donald Bousguet, Miss Margaret Quigley, Miss Mary Hill, Miss Katherine Quigley, Miss Margaret Drew and Miss Rita Boyer."
"Officials and citizens of this community will attend the hearing of the legislative highway survey committee Friday and Saturday in the Lake Placid club, at which time highway questions of importance to every motorist and taxpayers will be discussed.
"Included in the subjects to be talked over snow removal, road sanding, diversion of gasoline tax money, responsibilities for rights of way, and preferred road surfaces. A number of similar hearings have been held thruout the state to ascertain the desires and needs of the people in various localities in the way of the roads.
"Sen. George R. Fearon is chairman of this committee which was appointed last year. It is expected that the future policy of the legislature relative to state highways will be determined from the hearings being conducted."
"A card party for St. Gabriels church will be held Wednesday evening in the home of Mrs. James Sullivan, Paul Smith's. Proceeds from the affair will be used to purchase vestments for the church, of which Rev. E. A. Gallaghers pastor. Owing to the lack of room the benefit will be confined to adults."

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (63 votes).
In short: Another well organised Moray Marathon eventIn full: Man was it hot. Last year it was the wind, this year it was the heat that took its toll on a number of runners on the course. I ran the 1/2 marathon and thought that once again this was an extremely well organised event. Plenty of (much needed) water stations, excellent and friendly marshalls (particularly the older lady welcoming everyone to Lossiemouth) and good reception facilities at the end of the race. Again with plenty of water. See you all next year.Date of review: September 5, 2005
In short: Aside from the heat, an excellent race with great PB potentialIn full: This is a review of the Half, as there is no review link and that race page..... Great organisation and great scenery. How could you go wrong with coast line, forest, harbour etc.. Only problem today was the intense heat and no wind. I could imagine this race being one of Scotlands 'must do' races for anyones calander. Thought, beforehand, that the organisation would be mixed up as it's 3 races in one but no, they certainly did themselves proud. Lovely flat course with great scenery and an ideal race for anyone wanting a pleasant experience for their first half/full marathon. Considering training for this one as my first full marathon next year. Will be great as long as the weather isn't as this years. Congratulations to the organisers, helpers and a real credit to the maray runners. I'll see you all next year for definate.Date of review: September 4, 2005
In short: Best Marathon in ScotlandIn full: Sponsored by the local distillary so get yersell fit and go for a prize, 10yr old malt !Date of review: June 21, 2005
In short: Did the 10k but got a marathon T-shirt, can't fault it! Very well organised. Date of review: September 26, 2004
In short: Great race, well organised. A little hilly and very windy in 2004. Date of review: September 2, 2004
In short: It helps if you're having a good day when running a Marathon, and fortunately Sunday was one of my 'good days'!In full: Beutifully scenic course helped stop the boredom factor creeping in when there weren't too many competitiors (104 Marathon finishers) and I cannot fault the organisation - excellent - plenty water stations and helpful, encouraging marshalls. Date of review: September 1, 2004
In short: Very enjoyable race, chuffed as I got 9th place in the 10k, a first for me. Cant wait for next year!Date of review: September 1, 2004
In short: Well organised, nice medal, good snacks! A good mixed field! Course is a bit exposed in parts, very windy! but hey it is the north east of scotland! Oh and i wasn't last in the 10k, hooray!Date of review: September 1, 2004
In short: Lovely day but windy. Marathon runners all encouraging as they overtook me. Date of review: September 1, 2004
In short: A well organised race, but no atmosphereIn full: This is run as a combined marathon, 1/2 marathon and 10K. The organisation is exceptional: buses to the start of the 1/2m and 10K, regular water stations, marshalls, etc. were all great. I ran the 1/2 marathon - across an undulating, scenic, but windy course. It was a lonely run though - the only real support was in the last 100 metres.Date of review: September 1, 2004

Training For a Self-Supported Stage Race - Page 2
I now need to condition my body and mind to run consecutive long days on challenging terrain while carrying a well-stocked pack, because on September 23, I plan to be on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon with some 70 other participants at the inaugural Grand to Grand Ultra (see previous post for event details). The race directors provide water, communal tents and salt tablets, but participants are on their own for food and gear.
We'll cross remote desert and forest lands, climbing in and out of canyons on footing ranging from soft sand to rocky hard-pack, until we summit the pink cliffs of the Grand Staircase formation in the Escalante National Monument area of Southern Utah. The seven days are divided into six stages with the following mileages: 31, 28, 44, 24, 26 and 15. The elevation profile indicates a total ascent of nearly 22,000 feet and total descent of nearly 18,000 feet.
To start seriously training, I had to pick a pack. For advice and recommendations, I turned to an experienced stage racer, Trail Runner Contributing Editor Meghan Hicks, who carried her food and gear for a week all three times she raced the Marathon des Sables in the Sahara Desert of Morocco.
Choosing the right pack, she told me, should be an experiment of one. In other words, figure out what works for you, and no one else. To do so means practicing running with various models fully loaded.
Hicks said one member of a men's team at the Marathon des Sables, for example, suffered mightily because he insisted on using the same pack as the rest of his team even though it wasn't right for him. "There are horror stories about people whose backs rub off during these races," Hicks said.
The pack's fit, size, weight and hydration system are main factors to consider. Research led me to conclude I'd need a pack between 20 to 30 liters (L) in volume, with some combination of bottles on my hips, front or held by hand. I was advised to avoid using a bladder in the pack for water, because they're difficult to fit into a stuffed pack and refill; plus, it's hard to gauge how much you have left.
These packs look ridiculously small—about the size of my kids' school backpacks—and can weigh less than a pound. But they're enough to carry up to 20 pounds of food and gear, which is about the most I'll want to carry on Day One. (The pack will lighten as the food supply is consumed.) Elite racers sacrifice comforts such as extra food, a sleeping pad and a camera to save several pounds.
I tried two packs: the Terra Nova Laser 20L and the Inov-8 Race Elite 25L, both weighing about 12 ounces. I liked the fit of the Terra Nova, but didn't like its bottle-holder placement on the hips, where the bottles felt difficult to grab and bumped into my elbows.
Then a friend who's done several 250K desert crossings with the Racing the Planet series turned me on to extra-large (750-milliliter) bottles with built-in straws that attach to the front of shoulder straps, on the chest. I ordered a couple of those holders from Inov-8 along with the bottles from RaidLight, and I added an Amphipod pocket attachment to the waist strap for extra carrying space.

- Correlation between structure and magnetic anisotropies of Co on Cu(110) (1999)
- Magnetic anisotropies of MBE-grown fcc Co(110)-films on Cu(110) single crystal substrates have been determined by using Brillouin light scattering(BLS) and have been correlated with the structural properties determined by low energy electron diffraction (LEED) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Three regimes of film growth and associated anisotropy behavior are identified: coherent growth in the Co film thickness regime of up to 13 Å, in-plane anisotropic strain relaxation between 13 Å and about 50 Å and inplane isotropic strain relaxation above 50 Å. The structural origin of the transition between anisotropic and isotropic strain relaxation was studied using STM. In the regime of anisotropic strain relaxation long Co stripes with a preferential [ 110 ]-orientation are observed, which in the isotropic strain relaxation regime are interrupted in the perpendicular in-plane direction to form isotropic islands. In the Co film thickness regime below 50 Å an unexpected suppression of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy contribution is observed. A model calculation based on a crystal field formalism and discussed within the context of band theory, which explicitly takes tetragonal misfit strains into account, reproduces the experimentally observed anomalies despite the fact that the thick Co films are quite rough.
- Mode beating of spin wave beams in ferrimagnetic Lu2.04Bi0.96Fe5O12 films (1999)
- Absract: We report on measurements of the two-dimensional intensity distribtion of linear and non-linear spin wave excitations in a LuBiFeO film. The spin wave intensity was detected with a high-resolution Brillouinlight scatteringspectroscopy setup. The observed snake-like structure of the spin wave intensity distribution is understood as a mode beating between modes with different lateral spin wave intensity distributions. The theoretical treatment of the linear regime is performed analytically, whereas the propagation of non-linear spin waves is simulated by a numerical solution of a non-linear Schrödinger equation with suitable boundary conditions.
- Spin waves and magnetic anisotropy in ultrathin (111)-oriented cubic films (1998)
- The dispersions of dipolar (Damon-Eshbach modes) and exchange dominated spin waves are calculated for in-plane magnetized thin and ultrathin cubic films with (111) crystal orientation and the results are compared with those obtained for the other principal planes. The properties of these magnetic excitations are examined from the point of view of Brillouin light scattering experiments. Attention is paid to study the spin-wave frequency variation as a function of the magnetization direction in the film plane for different film thicknesses. Interface anisotropies and the bulk magnetocrystalline anisotropy are considered in the calculation. A quantitative comparison between an analytical expression obtained in the limit of small film thickness and wave vector and the full numerical calculation is given.
- Brillouin light scattering investigations of exchange biased (110)-oriented NiFe/FeMn bilayers (1997)
- All contributing magnetic anisotropies in (110)-oriented exchange biased Ni 80 Fe 20 /Fe 50 Mn 50 double layers prepared by molecular beam epitaxy on Cu(110) single crystals have been determined by means of Brillouin light scattering. Upon covering the Ni 80 Fe 20 films by Fe 50 Mn 50 , a unidirectional anisotropy contribution appears, which is consistent with the measured exchange bias field. The uniaxial and fourfold in-plane anisotropy contributions are largely modified by an amount, which scales with the Ni 80 Fe 20 thickness, indicating an interface effect. The strong uniaxial anisotropy contribution shows an in-plane switching of the easy axis from [110] to [001] with increasing Ni 80 Fe 20 -layer thickness. The large mode width of the spin wave excitations, which exceeds the linewidth of uncovered Ni 80 Fe 20 films by a factor of more than six, indicates large spatial variations of the exchange coupling constant. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
- Epitaxial growth of metastable Pd(001) on bcc-Fe(001) (1999)
- Epitaxial growth of metastable Pd(001) at high deposition temperatures up to a critical thickness of 6 monolayers on bcc-Fe(001) is reported, the critical thickness being depending dramatically on the deposition temperature. For larger thicknesses the Pd film undergoes a roughening transition with strain relaxation by forming a top polycrystalline layer. These results allow to make a correlation between previ-ously reported unusual magnetic properties of Fe/Pd double layers and the crystallographic structure of the Pd overlayer.
- Magnetic ordering and anisotropies of atomically layered Fe/Au(001) multi-layers (1999)
- We investigate the temperature dependence of the magnetization reversal process and of spinwaves in epi-taxially grown (001)-oriented [Fem/Aun]30 multilayers (m = 1, 2; n = 1- 6). Both polar magneto-optic Kerrr effect and Brillouin light scattering measurements reveal that all investigated multilayers, apart from the [Fe2/Au1]30-sample, are magnetized perpendicular to the film plane. The out-of-plane anisotropy constants are obtained. At high temperature, the magnetization curves are well described by an alternating stripe domain structure with free mobile domain walls, and at low temperature by a thermal activation model for the domain wall motion.
- Absence of elastic anomalies for Co/ Ni superlattices with oscillatory transport (1997)
- We report on Brillouin light scattering investigations of the elastic properties in Co/Ni superlattices which exhibit localized electronic eigenstates near the Fermi level causing an oscillation of the resistivity as a function of the superlattice periodicity A. No oscillations of the Rayleigh and Sezawa mode as a function of A could be observed within an error margin of +- 2% indicating that the localized electronic states do not contribute to the elastic constants.

Rated 4 out of 5�by JasonK Pavel Tsatsouline would not approve Pavel Tsatsouline would not approve because it is a contoured vinyl covered kettlebell made somewhere not in Russia. While he may not approve my forearms definitely do. The contoured shape also helps keep the center of gravity more inline with the forearm during cleans, get-ups and full swings. If you're looking for a 45lb kettlebell and don't mind the extra money that this one costs, I HIGHLY recommend it. I took 1 star off because it is more expensive than standard vinyl wrapped 45lb kettlebells. February 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by SkinnyJ Thats One Hell of a Kettelbell, Son I was ready to upgrade my 25LB kettlebell and had a Dick's gift card. This was the largest available kettlebell on the website, so I decided to go for it. Haggled with local store manager and online customer service to honor the free shipping deal they were running that week online (Dick's apparently does not do ship-to-store orders from their website, for some reason I was never able to ascertain). Received free shipping to my home. I did not know who Bob Harper was (nor did I care) when I ordered the item. The included "Bob Harper Kettlebell Basics Body Shred Workout" DVD was largely comedic in nature and provided little in the way of useful instruction for someone like myself who is using A 45LB KETTLEBELL!! I mean, a 45LB kettlebell should at least have come with an Intermediate or Advanced DVD. But, ultimately, whatever. Not that important. Now as far as the product is concerned, this is a great kettlebell. Well constructed, fully padded, properly weighted, and obviously built to last for many, many years. The contoured design is a SUPERB idea and makes any sort of exercises involving the forearm much easier and safer. This design is a lot less likely to injure the forearm/wrist area and makes for a lot less jarring impact during complex kettelbell routines. It is just a much better shape than the typical rounded kettlebells on the market. Bottom line: If you are seriously into kettelbell training and want a very heavy kettelbell with solid construction and a vastly improved design, this is the one for you. March 22, 2012

"In deference to a world enthralled by shows like 'Extreme Makeover' and 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians,' the public school district in Washington has hired a reality television company to produce videos intended to improve the skills of its teachers," reports the New York Times.
