US Robin Hood Tax Campaign
The U.S. Robin Hood Tax would set a 0.5% tax on the trading of stocks, 50 cents on every $100 of trades, and lesser rates on trading in bonds, derivatives and currencies in the U.S. It marks the return of a tax on financial transactions in place in this country during the years 1914 to 1966. Some form of the financial tax is in place today in more than 40 countries.

Veterans for Peace
Veterans For Peace is a national organization founded in 1985. It is structured around a national office in Saint Louis, MO and comprised of members across the country organized in chapters or as at-large members. The organization includes men and women veterans of all eras and duty stations including from the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), World War II, the Korean, Vietnam, Gulf and current Iraq wars as well as other conflicts. Our collective experience tells us wars are easy to start and hard to stop and that those hurt are often the innocent. Thus, other means of problem solving are necessary.Veterans for PeaceVeterans for Peace (Press Center)Veterans for Peace (Action Center)
Vietnam Veterans Against the War
Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Inc. (VVAW) is a national veterans' organization that was founded in New York City in 1967 after six Vietnam vets marched together in a peace demonstration. It was organized to voice the growing opposition among returning servicemen and women to the still-raging war in Indochina, and grew rapidly to a membership of over 30,000 throughout the United States as well as active duty GIs stationed in Vietnam. Through ongoing actions and grassroots organization, VVAW exposed the ugly truth about US involvement in Southeast Asia and our first-hand experiences helped many other Americans to see the unjust nature of that war. Today our government is still financing and arming undemocratic and repressive regimes around the world. Meanwhile, many veterans are still denied justice -- facing unemployment, discrimination, homelessness, post-traumatic stress disorder and other health problems, while already inadequate services are being cut back or eliminated.Vietnam Veterans Against the War

Comeback Trail - Page 2
Matters of the Heart
During detraining, rapid and dramatic changes occur in the heart, which is the engine driving your endurance. After only four to seven days of no running, the heart's left-ventricle dimensions, wall thickness and mass begin to decrease, contributing to less blood being pushed through the heart.
Equally as dramatic are the associated reductions in maximal oxygen uptake. After two to three weeks of detraining, Sharon's VO2max, or maximal oxygen uptake (the body's ability to process oxygen), decreased four percent, causing her race times to slow by about two to five percent. For ultrarunners who take time off, the longer the intended race, the more noticeable the drop in endurance.
haron's V02max decline was less steep than Joe's because she had less fitness to lose and was still active. A study of female track athletes who took three months off after their racing seasons showed they lost 15 percent of the VO2max they had reached during the race season. This means that Sharon's aerobic fitness, after six months' vacation, has returned to its original level of pre-training fitness—she's lost all her cardiovascular conditioning.
Joe is even worse off. One study found that completely bedridden people lost their VO2max faster than if they were moderately active. This same study found that VO2max declines by a staggering 27 percent, a reduction of about one percent of VO2max per day over three weeks. Thus being bedridden encourages a much steeper decline than just being moderately active and not training. And the VO2max of very fit runners declines more and faster than those who are less fit.
Joe's sub-maximal heart rate began to decline after the first 20 days of bed rest, and his sub-maximal stroke volume (the amount of blood ejected from his left ventricle with each heart beat) declined 25 percent. His maximal cardiac output (the maximum amount of blood pumped from the heart in one minute) also dropped 25 percent. The result was a decreased ability to transfer oxygenated blood from the lungs to the working muscles and return carbon dioxide to the lungs.
If this isn't disheartening enough, after two to four weeks of detraining, both Joe and Sharon's blood volume—and therefore oxygen-carrying capacity—decreased nine percent.
Also, their muscles lost capillaries, the small arteries that deliver oxygen to the working muscles (contributing to lower VO2 levels).

Posted on 12/19/2012 9:23:13 AM PST by Baynative
Jennifer Wederell, a 27-year-old British woman with cystic fibrosis, died of lung cancer after she received the lungs of a heavy smoker in an organ transplant.
(Excerpt) Read more at gma.yahoo.com ...
Appalling case, but dont tell me it hasnt happened in the US.
Donor screening nonexistent?
Never by lungs at a yard sale.
No surprise. When a smoker quits, the cardiovascular mortality decreases very soon. The lung cancer risk is never eliminated.
Can't say it hasn't. But, I'm willing to wager it will when the gov't takes over.
A college classmate of mine got a heart-lung transplant at about the same age. I did not hear that the donor was a smoker. He too died shortly after. These operations are not trivial, and a life with CF leaves a weakened body, transplant or no transplant.
The UK NHS is rapidly becoming a disaster.
This is probably a situation in which they used the smokere's lungs on somebody whom they did not expect to survive and gave better ones to those whom were expected to survive.
Brittish (Government) Healthcare at it finest!
Boy, I can't wait for Obamacare!!!
"The Royal Brompton and Harefield NHS Foundation Trust said: "It is very rare for patients to specify that they do not wish to be considered for clinically healthy lungs from smokers."
"This is because the risks are much higher if patients decline donor lungs from a former smoker, and decide to wait for another set of organs which are both a match for them and from a non-smoker, to become available."
They still should have let her know, though.
That's correct. Plus, the immunosuppressive therapy that all transplant patients receives enhances the likelihood that any cancer cells already present can grow unimpeded.
The Over/Under of posters who comment after only reading the headline and fail to read the rest which says she had to take the lungs because she had no choice and would have died waiting for the "perfect" lungs to come along
Tell me about it. I knew 2 women who died of lung cancer 10 and 15 years after they quit smoking. The 15 year one was my neighbor who died within a month after being diagnosed and she was only in her 50s. I felt really bad because trying to cheer her up I was telling her getting cancer isn't the same as it was 20 years ago and that she would pull through it which was total BS on my part.
You won't be waiting long Jack.
Say, you're not using both those kidneys are you?
Poor young lady. RIP.
You're exactly correct.
I also know that in many hospitals here in the US, the lungs of smokers or former smokers are NEVER accepted for transplant, no matter what condition they may be in.
Second hand smoke kills...
And that doesn't take into account the high probability that the woman was on immune suppressing drugs to minimize the likelihood of organ rejection.
Read the article, it says it is believed that most people dying of a lung disease would be satisfied to take their chances with the lungs of a smoker. So screening is performed but apparently the screen is not very selective.
If one is on a waiting list, for 18months, I don't think you get to be too picky.....
she might have died from her CF complications alone within a few months....
so taking some lungs, even though from a smoker, is a no brainer...no one could predict that the lungs would be cancerous....
not everything works out, but the intentions and reasoning probably were correct...
"most people dying of a lung disease would be satisfied to take their chances with the lungs of a smoker"
Reminds me of the days when ardent anti-smokers would accept tables in the smoking area of a busy restaurant instead of waiting for one in the non-smoking area.
If you were genuinely trying to cheer her up, I don't think you had anything to feel bad about. Getting cancer now IS different than getting it 20 years ago in terms of treatment options. That's no BS.
Unfortunately with lung cancer, it is often diagnosed too late to do much with it. By the time it's detected, it's often Stage 3 or 4, and has metastasized in other places throughout the body.
I'm not impressed with the dog whistle. She may have died anyway.
It wasn't BS because it's very true but it's also true some are diagnosed too late or still beyond the reach even modern treatment. Too often there are terminal cases can only be delayed.
I'd take the chance.
And to add injury to insult...they denied him medical benefits as they told him that as his occupation was plumber....he could still use his twisted arm to unblock toilets.
Amazing bad luck.
and this: Two patients died after being left waiting in ambulances outside an over-stretched hospital.
The patients, believed to have been in their 80s, couldnt get into the Royal Oldham Hospital for seven and 20 minutes respectively.
here: http://menmedia.co.uk/manchestereveningnews/news/health/s/1421402_two-patients-died-after-waiting-in-ambulance-outside-full-oldham-hospital-unit
also:....UK Doctors are starting to prescribe WATER to prevent patients from dying from forced dehydration.
Its the patients not selective, not the screen. They pass up and then have further wait which could be fatal as well.
Chris Watson, vice president of the British Transplantation Society, told CNN that 49 percent of last year's lung donors in the UK were smokers.
True. My sister stopped smoking back in 2005 when she had to undergo surgery for brain aneurisms. In February of 2010, she was diagnosed with lung cancer, underwent chemo and radiation treatments, and died in September 2011. Both my parents died of lung cancer, and my brother died of a massive heart attack at age 51. I have one sister left, age 72, who lives in an adult-assisted living home. She still smokes. I'm 65, have never smoked, but know that I am still in jeopardy of contracting lung cancer.
But it was more than that. For her to die from cancer that quickly, it had to already be active in the donor's lungs. Taking your chances with a smoker's lungs is one thing; bringing in an active tumor is quite another.
So you have a risk / reward choice here. Do you take the lungs now, knwing they come from a smoker and could possibly lead to cancer down the road, or do you pass and possibly die waiting for a better set later? The problem here is that the medical team took it on themselves to make the choice, they never informed the patient of the history of those lungs. I guess they figured these are clinically healthy lungs, the risk of cancer is there but small and most likely years away and this was her best chance to survive in the near term so no need to even discuss it. Probably they also know that organs don't last long outside the body and if you tell patients "look, this guy smoked" many will say no thanks, and the organs might be lost. So they kept that info to themselves.
Sadly, the cancer did come and it came right away. Really bad luck, statistically speaking but if the patient had been informed and decided to risk it, she took her best chance knowing the risks. But in this case she didn't know the risks, she was denied the ability to make an informed decision and that is wrong.
That's correct. Plus, the immunosuppressive therapy that all transplant patients receives enhances the likelihood that any cancer cells already present can grow unimpeded.
That's what I was thinking. OTOH, if it was a choice between no lungs and death OR this, then I suppose that taking a chance was worth it.

Economic issues were also at the forefront of our engagement with the Asia-Pacific region in 2012, particularly fostering economic integration and open markets. On March 15, the U.S.-Korea Free Trade Agreement -- the largest U.S. FTA in nearly two decades -- entered into force. This historic agreement is expected to increase goods exports by billions of dollars annually for both sides, supporting tens of thousands of new jobs in both countries. At the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) annual meetings, we achieved an historic agreement with our partners on trade in environmental goods that will foster green growth in the region. We stepped up negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which will enhance trade and investment and reduce barriers to economic growth. To support capacity building and technical assistance to ASEAN members, President Obama launched the Expanded Economic Engagement Initiative (E3) at the U.S.-ASEAN Leaders Meeting in November. President Obama also announced the U.S.-Asia-Pacific Comprehensive Partnership for a Sustainable Energy Future, which will provide technical assistance and financing to support sustainable development.
The U.S. government has long supported exchanges between Americans and the people of Asia-Pacific. In fact, we have been conducting people-to-people exchanges with countries in the region for more than 60 years, and the total number of exchange alumni from the Asia-Pacific region is second only to Europe. Our premier educational exchange program, Fulbright, expanded with new U.S.-ASEAN scholarships, and the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) brought current and emerging leaders from across the East Asia Pacific region to the United States to meet with their professional counterparts. We partnered with the Government of Brunei on the Brunei-U.S. English Language Enrichment Project for ASEAN to develop English language skills among government officials and teacher-trainers throughout ASEAN. In Japan, the TOMODACHI Initiative, a public-private partnership dedicated to promoting U.S.-Japan ties among youth, brought hundreds of students from the tsunami-devastated Tohoku region for summer study in the U.S. We also marked the 100th anniversary of Japan's gift of 3,000 cherry blossom trees to Washington, D.C. with our own "Friendship Blossoms," a gift of 3,000 dogwood trees to Japan. In support of enhancing people-to-people contact with Burma, we supported a basketball exchange program, the first sports program with Burma in 50 years, and sent experts to help the Burmese government draft a new media law as part of their reform process. We convened the first LMI Alumni Enrichment Conference and the first ASEAN Youth Leaders Summit. At the 2012 World Expo in Yeosu, Korea, over one million people visited the USA Pavilion which showcased America's commitment to sustainable environmental practices and our respect for the natural environment.
As Secretary Clinton has said, "This is America's Pacific century." By building on the strong foundation of our historic political, economic, and social ties, we hope to make it a century of peace and shared prosperity.
Editor's Note: This is the third in a three-part series reflecting on U.S. diplomacy in the East Asia and Pacific region. Read Assistant Secretary Campbell's first and second entries in the series.

Judge you! Officially approved, but personally opposed.
Who are attack to Chacellor Merkel?
President? or Sec?
She is not bad .....
The new Engagement Initiative with the Asia Pacific Region,and Free Trade Agreement with Korea is a good start. I also liked the gift of the Dogwood Trees to Japan. We should have more exchanges like these in the future.
I hope Hillary is feeling better.:)
Nice posting....

Glorious Glassware
Created by artist Laurent Grasso and culinary architect Pascal Grasso, along with lifestyle brand Electrolux, the Nomiya Restaurant (named after a small restaurant in Japan) sits perched above the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, offering breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower. The pre-fab structure, which seats just twelve diners, is a mere 59 feet long, and is made up of a glass cabin and a perforated metal screen, with colored LED lighting giving it that lovely purple glow.
For more information, visit Art-Home-Electrolux.com.
SO Architecture patterned the Rosso Restaurant's unusual undulating ceiling after the natural geography found in the northern part of Israel. Matched with cool green hues on the walls and bold black-and-white furnishings, the space is truly striking.

Lamkin ACE 3GEN Grips Beats The Competition In Independent Test Results For Tackiness
Lamkin puts their new super-tacky Lamkin ACE 3GEN grips to the test. Find out which grips are the tackiest by watching this video detailing their test results. Lamkin golf grips recently contracted with an independent testing firm to conduct a test on their ACE 3GEN grips to determine their level of tackiness and compare the results of the same test to two other popular golf grips. The results were surprising.
Ask any teaching pro. Too much grip pressure leads to too much tension, which leads to — well, nothing good.
But a tackier grip provides you with a confident connection without unnecessary grip pressure. The result: less tension in the hands, arms and swing for longer and more consistent shots. In the end, isn't that why you play?
Lamkin's ACE 3GEN (Ace Advanced Cohesive Elastomer) is a proprietary synthetic rubber compound created by Lamkin chemists to deliver the highest level of surface tackiness and shock absorption. A better material to help you play better golf. It is both soft and tacky-providing unmatched "single-strike" vibration-dampening properties that protects a golfer's hands and arm joints from jarring shockwaves. Used in other applications and industries, ACE 3GEN mutes virtually all vibration and stinging of the hands at impact, providing an incredibly soft feel. The material maintains a high level of tackiness and can be easily wiped for a fresh feel and excellent traction. And unlike competitors' soft polyurethane grips, Lamkin ACE 3GEN is a form of synthetic rubber that has very low torque – similar to that of a traditional rubber grip-and will not feel as if it's sliding around the shaft at impact. That firmness lasts throughout the life of the grip. The Lamkin ACE 3GEN also features a vastly improved resistance to environmental aging and weathering factors. The material will not absorb any moisture and its tackiness is activated by toweling off the grip or using a light abrasive brush. It continually performs better if it's cleaned regularly.

Welcome to the MLBlogosphere! Have fun blogging here, good luck on the next ball snagging moves, and thanks for commenting on the community blog.
I think your right! Macha should've took the job the first time and Randolph is being interviewed so the Brewers aren't called racist.
Brewers.com says Melvin plans to name the new manager right after the World Series. Can't wait…go Rays!
Also….sucks that we are losing Jack Z! I vote Happy Youngster as the next scouting director and assistant to the general manager!
Bad news for us Brenly supporters! JSOnline is reporting today that Ken Macha is the front runner.
If this is true, then I think that Doug Melvin may be on his way to making a huge mistake. Everything I've ever read about Macha screams Yost to me! "He's a players coach," and, "he was too soft on his players," and, "lack of discipine in the clubhouse."
Now don't get me wrong…I was opposed to firing Yost in the manner they did. (12 games to go?) I figured it was coming after the season! But everything that is being said about Macha's managerial style is exactly what we dumped Yost for.
I'd rather see Sveum back than Macha!
I saw something else funny today. On the mailbag on http://www.brewers.com, a fan suggested we fans start a "bring back C.C. Sabathia fund." The reporter hinted that in order to match Johan Santana's contract, each of the state of Wisconsin's 5.6 million residents (that includes women and children) would have to contribute $25. I'm in!!
Talked to my ticket guy today, renewals are coming out this week. And….the Andy's are most likely bailing on me! That may mean that I'm upgrading on my own!!

RedMere Ultra-Thin HDMI Cables
RedMere, based in Balbriggan, Ireland, is one of those clever companies that comes up with something needed, then licenses it out for other companies to make and sell. In this case it's a tiny chip, small enough to fit in an HDMI connector, that allows the cable to be significantly smaller than other cables.
Now, I'm an overtly vocal advocate of the "All HDMI Cables Perform the Same" doctrine, so the differences between cables largely comes down to how you need to use them.
And that's what makes Redmere cables interesting. In a home environment, you likely don't need ultra-thin cables. But when you're on the go? Many new portable devices have mini HDMI outputs. This allows, for example, simple hookup to a TV at a hotel, or to show your parents the movie you shot of their grandkids straight from the camera or laptop to their TV.
The cable itself, in the demo product they supplied to me, is barely thicker than a piece of spaghetti. I've seen freebee composite cables with greater girth. You'd think the plug would be larger than normal, given that it's got a chip inside, but it's on par with other cables I've tested.

The process for creating fully functional, online course shells is very time consuming. A well designed, online course requires extensive planning up front. In order to grow online offerings, BCTC needs quality online course shells; likewise, there needs to be recognition and support for faculty who engage in the work of online course construction. We cannot ask faculty members--particularly adjunct faculty members--to undertake this kind of work without support and recognition.
The Assistant Dean for Distance Learning (ADDL), working with members of the DLAC and with the assistance of Assistant Deans and Program/Area Coordinators will identify courses which benefit from the creation of a common course shell. Criteria in making this identification include (but are not limited to):
The final decision will be made by the Vice-president for Academics in consultation with the Academic Leadership Team.
Once courses have been identified, Assistant Deans working with Program/Area Coordinators and with input from the Assistant Dean for Distance Learning and the Distance Learning Advisory Committee will select course shell builders.
Course shell builders are expected to do much more than take a few course notes and put them online. It is expected that they will receive input from the ADDL, the Online Facilitators, and the Coordinator of Technology Training and Distance Learning Technology Support. Builders should also consult closely with their Program/Area Coordinator, Assistant Dean and the faculty members within their area and/or division as well as with any online course coordinators or online division/area committees. A fully functional course will have integrated assignments, test banks, a flexible schedule of assignments for 6-week, 8-week, and 15-week semesters, and a course syllabus. Builders will provide text support materials, including reading assignments, links to online content, and video and audio content. Courses will be ADA compliant and will follow best practices in effective online instruction.
The final product will exist as a Blackboard Cartridge that is available to all BCTC instructors. Builders will be responsible for updating and maintaining the course shell during its first year of implementation. Builders should also draft plan/recommendations to cover future maintenance of the course shell.
Course shells builders will receive an honorarium of $500. This dollar amount is based on the old faculty-staff mini grants. It is important to emphasize that the time investment in constructing these course shells is extensive and far exceeds the monetary compensation.
Course shell builders will acknowledge their work as Educational Leadership on the PPE.
Point of clarification: the $500 grant for course shell construction does not disqualify a faculty member from submitting a Merit Bonus Application nor will the $500 grant be considered in awarding merit bonus, i.e. a faculty member may still apply for merit bonus.
Intellectual property rights in online works are equally shared between KCTCS and the KCTCS faculty, staff, or other employee who created the work, unless an agreement provides otherwise. Online works are materials developed for and used within the delivery of online courses (http://publicsearch.kctcs.edu/policies/admin%20policies/3-3-5.pdf).

I wonder why they use this material in commercial pizza ovens?
So, this material would take a long time to heat up, but once it heated up it would stay hot for awhile?
Thanks. The oven is set for 600°F, and the shelf hovers just above that after 40 minutes of preheating. This pizza was baked in about 3 minutes.- red.novemberEDIT: FYI, I didn't bother taking a picture of the bottom of the crust, so I rotated the pizza so that the part of the rim (cornicione) with the same coloration as the bottom directly faced the camera.
What is the optimal position for the shelf in the oven?
I currently use a fibrament stone but I am looking at purchasing a Cordierite-mullite shelf for my oven from a local pottery supply.
It comes in 3/4" & 1" thickness. I am thinking the 1" is much better. Do you have any data to compare the 2 thicknesses?
In preparation for using the cordierite shelf for baking a pizza on tomorrow, I carbonized the bottom by mopping it with sugar-water and heating it in the oven at 600°F for about an hour. This is to darken it for more rapid radiant heat absorption. I will likely sugar-heat treat it a few more times before all is said and done. I will only treat the shelf this way on the bottom, as I want the top to remain as reflective as possible to benefit the rim of the crust not in direct contact with the shelf. Attached is an image of the contrast resulting from the first treatment.- red.november
I just thought I would throw up an image or two of a pizza I baked tonight on the cordierite shelf. I have been baking on this shelf constantly since September 11, but I haven't stopped to take pictures of the products until tonight. Even tonight's picture taking was totally unplanned, so the images aren't really all that great due to a rushed setup. The pizza however was great. It simply had mozzarella cheese and baby portobello mushrooms (no sauce).- red.november
It would be nice to have an accurate measure of the temperatures on the black coated face and on the other one.You want the top face white because you think it will reflect heat.But other factors need to be considered.Most of the heat could be transfered by convection or conduction.If the face is black it could also absorb more (heating more the stone) and irradiate more, depending on its temperature, or more precisely it will irradiate at a different wavelength.To summarize we need to know what's more important, reflectivity or emisivity.
I know this is an old post but do you know what dough formulation you used?
If the face is black it could also absorb more (heating more the stone) and irradiate more, depending on its temperature, or more precisely it will irradiate at a different wavelength.

When warriors break
According to its mission statement, Homeward Bound Adirondacks aims to stabilize "the cascade of cognitive, emotional, physical, behavioral, moral and spiritual issues that characterize recovery from war trauma." I sincerely hope some measure of recovery is realized by as many veterans as possible.
This three-part commentary will examine the history of war trauma from the Civil War through the post-Vietnam War era, how post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) became an accepted psychiatric disorder, and the treatment of it.
What we have learned since the American Civil War (1861-65), notes psychologist Simon Wessely, is that every major armed conflict produces a unique variety of psychological casualties. British medical researcher Edgar Jones and his colleagues contend that war-related psychological symptoms (as well as the physical manifestations of these symptoms) are influenced by contemporary medical knowledge, changes in the nature of warfare, and underlying cultural forces. To this list I would add existing military and political structures and the dynamics of these structures.
During the Civil War, soldiers suffered from "soldier's heart" or Da Costa's Syndrome (named after Dr. Jacob Mendes da Costa who investigated this disorder both during and after the war). Manifestations of soldier's heart included fatigue, shortness of breath, sweating, chest pain and heart palpitations. These symptoms typically persisted even though examining physicians could not detect any physical abnormalities. At a loss to accurately explain much less treat these symptoms, military physicians simply rid the army of problem soldiers. In his book "No More Heroes: Madness and Psychiatry in War," Richard Gabriel notes that many of these men "were put on trains with no supervision, the name of their hometown or state pinned to their tunics, others were left to wander about the countryside until they died of exposure or starvation." According to Gabriel, the growing number of afflicted soldiers wandering about triggered a public outcry that resulted in the first military hospital for the insane in 1863. This institution was closed at the conclusion of the war two years later.
An early explanation for soldier's heart was nostalgia, the yearning for home, family, and the familiar rhythm of life. Afflicted soldiers were considered nothing more than duty-shirking malingerers. In 1864, the assistant surgeon general stated, "It is by lack of discipline, confidence and respect that many a young soldier has become discouraged and made to feel the bitter pangs of homesickness, which is the precursor to more serious ailments." From this perspective the real problem had little to do with the war. Rather, it was the soft-heartedness of men unwilling to meet their military obligations.
With significant advances in destructive weapons in the latter half of the 19th and early 20th centuries, World War I (1914-18) is often called the first modern war. Hunkered down in trenches, soldiers in all armies endured frequent and prolonged artillery barrages and mortar attacks. British physicians coined the term "shell shock" to describe the dazed, disoriented, and withdrawn condition that afflicted an increasing number of troops. Doctors attributed this condition to physiological damage to the brain sustained by exploding shells.
However, physicians discovered that soldiers not close enough to the shelling to suffer physical injuries exhibited many of the same psychological symptoms as their wounded comrades. Just as in the Civil War, military leaders and many physicians believed these soldiers were attempting to shirk their duty. They were malingerers if not outright cowards as well-adjusted, brave men could withstand the rigors of combat with little risk of breaking down. The British Army executed 306 men during the war for a variety of reasons including "cowardice" and "refusing to fight." Military historians note that an undetermined number of these men were likely suffering from shell shock and shot after mock trials as a "lesson to others."
Based on his own front-line observations and the growing number of shell shock casualties (in some units up to 40 percent of all casualties), British Army Captain C.S. Myers, a specialist in psychological medicine, advanced a psychological, prolonged high-stress explanation for the shell shock condition. British psychiatrist Derek Summerfield states that Myers's perspective gained favor in the army for two reasons. First, in the midst of an expanding war, the army would not have to deal with tens of thousands of disciplinary cases implicit in the malingering and cowardice interpretation. Second, any explanation that allowed for the eventual return of shell-shocked troops to the front lines (after their damaged psyches were repaired) in a high casualty war was desirable.
Sociologist Wilbur Scott states this explanation and strategy was followed by the U.S. Army as well. A psychiatrist was assigned to each U.S. division to treat soldiers as quickly and as close to the front lines as possible.
"Treatment consisted of several days of creature comforts and the firm expectation that a soldier would return to duty," Scott writes.
This rest and recuperation treatment was considered a success as almost two-thirds of afflicted soldiers returned to the battlefield. Psychologist Edgar Jones and his colleagues state that by the end of World War I, some physicians believed physical and psychological injury symptoms overlapped and it was difficult to distinguish the effects of a mild head injury from those of an exceptionally stressful experience.
Psychiatrist Peter Howorth argues that as the war dragged on and casualties (including shell shock) mounted, many British soldiers came to view the conflict as senseless.
"They despised the warmongers at home," Howorth states, "more than they hated the Germans, and felt alienated from the civilian world." One can imagine the adjustment problems these men – especially those who also suffered from shell shock – endured upon returning to their families.
Beginning in 1940, the U.S. military embarked on a plan to identify inductees who might be predisposed to emotional battlefield problems. During the course of World War II, draft boards would eventually determine that almost 1 million young men were psychologically unfit to serve. Because psychiatric tests were designed to screen out individuals likely to breakdown, the problem of what would eventually be called "combat fatigue" was thought to be largely solved.
In 1943, Navy Commander Edwin Smith reported on his treatment of more than 500 Marines who were suffering from a condition he described as "Guadalcanal Neurosis." As a consequence of prolonged and particularly savage fighting on the Pacific Ocean island of Guadalcanal, these men had broken down emotionally. Among a long list of symptoms, they suffered from headaches, periods of amnesia and tremors and "wept easily." Smith believed the condition of these Marines was a "disturbance of the whole organism, a disorder of thinking and living, of even wanting to live." Smith stated that no screening tests at recruiting stations or boot camp could indicate the psychological problems these men would experience in combat.
With mounting evidence that battle-hardened veterans from the nation's elite Army and Marine Corps units were susceptible to various manifestations of combat exhaustion, the military halted the psychiatric screening of inductees in 1944. The reality among commanders that any individual could crack after prolonged combat began to take hold.
One in four World War II casualties was caused by "combat fatigue," one in two among men who had experienced prolonged, intense fighting. The 82-day-long battle of Okinawa (1945) involved four Army and two Marine divisions (along with troops from other allied nations). More than 14,000 American soldiers, sailors and Marines died. There were approximately 26,000 cases of combat fatigue, the greatest number of the war in a single campaign.
"Let There Be Light," a 1946 documentary funded by the U.S. Army, followed 75 "psycho-neurotic" soldiers being treated in military hospitals. The narrator states that "every man has his breaking point … and these were forced beyond the limit of their endurance." Upon review, the Pentagon banned the film. It was declassified in 1980.
George J. Bryjak lives in Bloomingdale, retired after 24 years of teaching sociology at the University of San Diego. He served in Okinawa and Vietnam with the First Marine Air Wing.

Fredonia's Quest wraps up for 25th time
By JIMMY McCARTHY
OBSERVER Correspondent
The 25th annual Quest came to an end Saturday as the hikers made the final turn into Russell Joy Park. With smiles on their faces, the hikers marched down the entry way of the park blowing their whistles as parents cheered and took pictures. Fellow alumni of the Quest followed the hiker's entrance.
"We had great weather," Student Leader Sean Pecuch said. "It's the first time out of the 25 years that there was no rain. All the kids were getting along. And as a result, they have a better respect for the outdoors. There were a few difficulties, but we never leave anyone behind. We try and bring them back and we want them to succeed. The trails are their backyard. It's their memories and they are the future of the land."
The hike began Wednesday afternoon as the group of hikers was dropped off in Gerry en route to Russell Joy Park on Saturday. A total of 67 eighth graders took part, including five from Brocton. There were also 18 high school leaders and 16 adults.
"It's such a wonderful experience," Hike Leader and Fredonia Board of Education Member Michael Bobseine said. "Over the four days, you got a hundred people together, and you got to make things work. They developed wonderful qualities in cooperation, kindness, and appreciation for one another."
During the four-day hike, the students bonded together as they played games, sang, ate and had fun.
"They play like kids should," Susan Cobb, instructor and expedition leader, said. "They do not have electronics and yet they have fun. We play blog tag, elbow tag, have relay races, and the kids have fun. The activities all involve face-to-face communications. They also made friends with more members of their class."
Even though the backpackers were tired, most had smiles on their face as they made their way to their families and fellow backpacking friends.
"There's a lot of bonding that goes on," Backpacker Ryan Meredith said about the hike.
"There are a lot of games we play as we hike, and that is really interesting. It's a lot of miles. It's also physically tiring even if you are in good shape."
After the participants came back and the picnic commenced, a ceremony was held to congratulate the eighth graders' completion of the expedition. Lee Servatius, who began Quest in 1989 also congratulated the eighth graders and mentioned their arrival by saying, "You arrived an hour early."
"You sent out kids and they came back young adults," Servatius also said to the crowd.
Stephen and Susan Cobb gave special thanks to everyone involved in making the Quest successful. This includes parents and private landowners in letting them cross their land, the Fredonia Board of Education, and Tops Friendly Markets.
"There is a sense in this community that environmental education is important," Susan Cobb said. "I think the community support comes from a long history of involvement."
Servatius went on to say that it takes special people to keep the Quest going.
"Steve and Susan Cobb deserve all the credit in the world because they have done a wonderful job continuing what David Carlson and I have started," Servatius said. "I hope it keeps going for a long time."

So many questions.
It's tough to nail down the best thing about the Yakima HoldUp Bike Rack. Is it the fact that it carries the bikes nice and low for easy access and optimal fuel mileage? Is it the fact that it folds up and out of the way it's not in use? Is it the fact that it easily accommodates just about any style and size of bike? Is it the fact that you don't have to take any parts off of your bike to load it up? Is it the fact that no part of the rack touches a painted surface on your bike? All of these facts together make a very, very nice bike rack. We won't choose–that's up to you to decide.
- Fits just about any style bike (no tandems or recumbents) from 20-inch to 29-inch wheels
- Carries 2 bikes as-is or 4 bikes with optional 2-bike add-on
- Spring loaded pin makes it easy to tilt the rack out of the way for rear access
- Includes 6-foot SKS security cable
- Integrated bottle opener for post-ride hydration
- Supplied with locks to safely leave your bike for a coffee or post ride beverage
- Fits a standard 2in hitch receiver
- Carries 2 bikes, 4 with an optional add-on (sold separately)
- Spring-loaded pin removes to tip the rack out of the way when not in use
- Integrated locking cable and bottle opener

Awesome Rack
This rack is perfect. Super secure with minimal wobbling if any. The tilt feature makes it nice to get into the back for your vehicle. Comes with locks for both the hitch as well as cable locks for the bikes. All around great rack.
Super Burley
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Used this for the first time and so far, so good. The drive was about 4.5 hours and we had 50-70 mph side gusts the whole time. This thing didn't even move. I'm super impressed so far. It is heavy but I like that about it, I don't want this thing breaking with my bikes attached to it. Install was quick and easy as well.
Secure and stable
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
This rack is the cats meeeeow. The anti wobble feature keeps it secure and stable with little to no play in the hitch receiver and the locking high pin keeps those with sticky fingers at bay. It holds two bikes with ease and in any wheel size. It's a little tougher with a fat bike or + tire size (27.5 or 29) but it still works. It tilts down for those with SUVs so that you can still access the back of your car with the rack and bikes on. The integrated cable lock is ingenious and the key is the same as the hitch pin so your key ring doesn't look like that of a janitor. Another clever feature is the bottle opener on the end for that hard earned root beer at the end of a ride. When you out grow two, it is easily expanded with the 2 bike add on, keep in mind it will add some serious length to the rack. I found it to be super easy to use and built to be used and lightly abused. The only caveat for me is that it sits a little high and my truck tailgate won't clear the rack. So keep that in mind if you have a truck and want to use your tailgate without needing to take your rack off. This review is for the rack itself, not the fitment on my truck which is why it still gets 5 stars.
I have a 2015 Toyota Tacoma for reference
Love the bike carrier other than 1 thing
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
We absolutely LOVE our bike carrier and it works nicely on both our personal SUV and our work truck. We are in the mountains so we can't ride much here but we plan to put the carrier to good use when things warm up and we can go down to the lake. The only problem we have is that one of the straps that cinches down the wheel has a kink in it. Makes it very difficult to get open when we are ready to ride the bicycles. All we need is that one foot part - the gal I talked to said that she was going to send a whole other unit and my goodness, we don't need the whole thing - we just need that one part. But anyway, we haven't heard back from her yet anyway even though she promised to contact us the very next week. The bike carrier is superb (except for that one cinch strap) and it keeps the bikes in place so you don't have to keep looking back to make sure they are ok. We have no worries while driving with this carrier!!!! Excellent product!!
Just talked to customer service and they are sending a whole new carrier to replace the defective one.... wow! Great service and very nice representatives. Would buy this product or others from Yakima any time of the day or week! Great product and great service!!!!
Great Rack!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Relatively easy to assemble & install, snugs tight against the rear when folded up, and pretty easy to load & unload. I tote around a very expensive bike and after about a dozen trips, the rack has performed good enough to earn my trust. After my first few trips, I stopped every so often and checked how it was handling, but I don't feel I need to do that now. Contact with the wheels is snug - the straps have never loosened by themselves and the arm's grip has stayed solid. A cable lock is installed in each arm that can be used to secure your bike - these cable locks are at best a slight deterrent to a would-be thief, but they would slow them down and add a little extra security when traveling. When driving, the rack has very little sway and vibration. Hard turns, highway speeds, fast stops, and bumpy roads were not a problem.
Good but heavy..!
Great to load and unload the bikes, but very heavy to move..in and out.
Awesome rack
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
worth the money. holds the bikes great, and it secures them quick and easy. I love it
I really wanted to like this rack...
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I really wanted to like this rack... it's way more compact than competition and significantly more stable than other tray racks I've used previously.
After purchasing it though, I've discovered a few downsides... a) All the pictures and store models exclude the fact that there is a second stability pin involved on the right. Perhaps the second pin helps make it super stable, but I don't want to have to remove two pins every time I raise or lower the bike rack, b) after installing the rack, my OCD self realized the Yakima logo was upside down so I attempted to remove the horizontal bars only to discover that some of the locking washers already broke, and worse, two of the screws stripped out to where I couldn't remove them. At this price range we should at least be using decent metals.
Solid rack
So far the rack seems pretty stable, I wish the lock cables were a couple inches longer. The only downside is I have to remove my spare tire on my RAV4 to fit the rack, it fits perfect on my Subaru crosstrek though!
Spend the extra $75 and go Kuat.
Brand new out of the box and this thing rattles so bad my bikes wobble on the rack when driving. Also the rattle noise is unbearable. $450??? Hopefully Yakima will make good on this big fault and take it back.
Will this accommodate Snow Bikes?
I like it.
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Just purchased this rack so can't speak of the longevity but love the look & function. This is a huge upgrade form the cheap tray rack I wore out after 4 years. Nothing touches the frame and it tilts away so can get in the back of your SUV. If you have a spare tire mounted out back this will be a problem with any rack so plan on buying an extension. The locks are cheap so I use a big cable when I am away from the bikes for more then a few seconds.
Works, but not the best workmanship.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have a Yakima Holdup I bought new about 5 years ago. From a functionality standpoint, it basically works as promised. It carries any bike from a kid's bike up to whatever (pennyfarthings and unicycles excluded), and does not contact the frame. Occasionally I have to move the seat of 1 or 2 bikes, as a handlebar from the opposite bike will rub against it, but this is not a big deal.
As my model is several years old, it is not a locking model, but I find the locks that come with bike racks are basically worthless. Get yourself a monster chain & lock if you even remotely feel that your bike might seem attractive to thieves.
My main problems with this rack are twofold. The first, is that the main hold-down clamp for the front wheel needs to be compressed with significant force and enthusiasm. On a few occasions, I have had the hold-down arm come loose from the wheel, fall down onto the road, and drag along the pavement for a while. I never lost a bike, but one time one of my road bikes was found hanging on by the little rear wheel ratcheting strap...fortunately no bike damage! Just remember to really pounce on the front wheel arm when you're securing it to the bike. This looseness of the arm strikes me as a design flaw, but maybe Yakima has fixed it in recent years.
The other issue, is one of general quality of the rack. Although my rack still works, it just doesn't seem to have the same quality I expected from an expensive bike rack. Most of the attachment components are made of plastic, and in the case of the swing-arms, have seemed to stretched, and made the whole unit rather loose and floppy. While I have used this rack a decent amount over the years, I would certainly not call it frequent use. I store it off the vehicle, out of the elements, and in the shade, and generally take good care of all my equipment.
The red plastic bottle opener worked for about 3-4 bottles before the plastic was shredded beyond use!
For Wildernest owners, a heads up!
I have a 2011 Tacoma with a Wildernest topper, The length of the rack base doesn't get it far enough away from the back of the truck, so the 1st bike (closest to the truck) the handlebars hit the top of the wildernest topper above the window ( since the nest slopes backwards allowing for more leg room when it's set up vs normal toppers) So this wouldn't happen with a standard topper, so then the handlebars hit on the 1st bike causing it to lean out which then causes the 2nd bike to lean out too putting them both in compromising positions of stability on the rack.
You could probably have a extension made up for your hitch receiver to allow it all to work.
Otherwise the rack would have been great it's sturdy and easy to use.
Can we get a photo for this!?

You can buy an 8" receiver extension from most truck or trailer supply stores for about $50.
Yakima HOLDUP Install
The HoldUp is Yakima's fastest, easiest way to load bikes. Its beefed-up arm pivot makes it stronger than ever and the side-to-side adjustability reduces the chance for bike-to-bike interference. It's a road trip companion for life.
+ 2 Yakima Rack
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Review for the +2 extension. Very easy to install and remove for the base Yakima rack. The rack is a beast with the +2 installed. Heavy and cumbersome. That said, it's very sturdy and does what it's supposed to do, hold two additional bikes. I leave the base Yakima Holdup (2 bikes only) on my SUV all the time. I install/remove the extension on an as needed basis.
Does anyone know if this will fill on a...
Does anyone know if this will fill on a Wrangler with the spare tire and still be able to open the back door?
You would likely need a drop hitch with some amount of extension. I have the Kuat NV rack (similar design different brand) and 35" tires and 3" lift. I found a 4" drop and 12" extension is just right. I am able to open the tailgate without tilting it down
Worth the wait!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
When I finally decided it was time to get a rack I asked around and felt the Holdup was right for me. I also just missed the last one on this website. Apparently they move fast when their in stock. I waited another month until the next shipment came. I couldn't be happier with it. It's tough and is easy to load. My six year old can get his bike in it almost completely by himself. I would've waited twice as long for such a great product.
Bottle Opener on Rack
Yakima Bike Rack
Best Rack I?ve found on the market. Really easy to attach to a hitch, can fold back when no bikes are on the rack. An extension can be bought and attached to the initial bike rack so 4 bikes can be transported.
Don?t hesitate buying it, although a little too expensive.

Taking the boys backpacking...where to go?
Im taking my boys, ages 7, 5 and 3 backpacking this weekend, and have 4 spots in mind, but cant decide what would be best. Any suggestions? Here is what Im thinking so far.
1. Twentymile creek - site 93 - 1.8 miles of hiking on an easy grade. Should be relatively isolated, and the trail follows the creek which should make for easy access for fishing (cant go rock hopping up the creeks with a 3 year old!).
2. Pretty Hollow - site 39 - dont know much about, downside is its a horse camp, upside previous reports say they are specks in those waters! Looks to be only about 2 miles to the campsite.
3.Big Hemlock - site 40 - again good short hike, I dont know much about the area. Its not a horsecamp! Are there specks here or no?
4.West Prong - site 18- little further than I want to travel at 2.7 miles, and as far as I can tell, its reasonably busy, which I would rather not be around people. Lots of aggresive little rainbows for the kids to try to catch though. Trail only crosses the stream, so access may be limited due to kids.
Im looking for a 1.5 to 2.5 mile hike, easy grade, access to water for fishing, swimming, salamander hunting. Preferably an area NOT known for bears, and IS known for solitude (I would feel bad if the youngest woke up crying in the middle of the night and disturbed someone camping nearby.) Right now Im leaning toward Twentymile/93.
Plan to head out Saturday morning stay till Sunday evening.
Wherever it is we end up going, Ill be sure to post a trip report, hopefully including some pictures of fish!
Another suggestion
CS#65 on Noland Creek Trail is 1.3 miles from Lakeshore Drive with a 240' elevation gain. With a 3 year old the sooner you get to camp, the better...
"Even a fish wouldn't get into trouble if he kept his mouth shut."
Jay I just went 3 weeks ago with my friend Matt to cs 18 and we took our 7 and 4 year old sons with us. I would say that is one of the best in your selections there and here is why. If you take the Bote mtn trail then turn onto the West prong trail it is only 1.6 miles. Another great reason is the campsite is really large and you have a lot of easy access to the stream where it runs through the site. Other places like cs 39 the creek is not as accessible. I have been to cs 40 and it is by far the ugliest campsite I have ever seen in the smokies. I guess there is a reason to it being called Big Hemlock they apparently didn't treat those trees and most of them when I was there were felled down into the camping area. There was scarecely a spot to put a tent and no shade there now. I don't know much about 93 so someone else will have to help you there. Here is my trip report on our trip to cs 18:
We fished all over the west prong with our boys and caught many trout even right through the campsite area. Good point Pete on cs 65. Another one you could consider is cs 48 on Chasteen creek it is also just a mile in but I doubt the fishing would be as good as Noland or the West Prong. With a 3 year old you probably won't be able to wade up the stream but will probably just be fishing from the bank a bit I would guess.
Adam Beal
Hey Jack (JAB)...
JayB--Twentymile isn't a bad choice--but--the best fishing is lower down and it's unquestionably too rough for kids that age.
There's another campsite upstream (roughly two miles) on Pretty Hollow which is a lovely place--no horse campsite is lovely, IMO.
A better bet might be to go to the Bearpen Branch campsite on Noland (that's the name although the actual Bearpen Branch is a few hundred yards farther up the trail). It is just over a mile upstream from the trailhead, the walk is a easy and leisurely one, the fishing is decent+, there's a nice long, still pool which lies right under the road at the point where you turn off for the campsite which would be great for playing (oddly enough, it is a side channel, because the creek splits here, but over the years I've caught some fine fish there, including a dandy brown just three weeks ago).
One other thought. That's where I took my daughter (more years ago than I really care to think about), and we had a grand old time all of us (my wife was along) still remember. Of course one thing which helped make it memorable was a (insert colloquial word here for vented posterior regions) of a seasonal ranger who wanted me to take frying fish out of the pan for him to measure them. I had had a dickens of a time getting a fire started, since it had rained for two days straight, and I was cooking over an open fire. Also, the five trout all measure between nine and eleven inches, so it wasn't ever close. I got so irritated I told him to just write me up if it came to that, but I wasn't ruining my supper. I also did something I probably shouldn't have done. I mentioned the regional ranger, whom I knew well since he attended my parents' church, and said that if he did write a ticket I was going to pull the smallest of the fish from the pan, carefully wrap it in foil, and the two of us were going to hike out and have a visit with that ranger. That, basically was the end of the conversation. First time I had thought of that in years, although my daughter got a very bad impression of rangers thanks to one (use another impermissible synonym for the end opposite one's pie hole--now I hope Paula doesn't chastise me, but as the foregoing suggests, the guy flat out frosted my grits.
Wherever you go, I trust you'll have a grand time, and kudos for passing on a wonderful legacy.
Jim Casada
My wife and I went with a couple friends up to #18 last Friday and Saturday. The fishing was ok. I caught one that was an easy 10"+ right past the bridge. I really didn't expect anything that big. Caught a few others that were keeper size but most of fish were around the 5" range.
I really like the site. If you do head up there make sure to check out the "A" section of the site. It is much more appealing than "B" and "C".
That hike might be a little tough for a 3 year old...
jasonkelkins at yahoo dot com
Thanks for all the suggestions. PeteCz I didnt even see #65, thats a good one to keep in mind.
Jim- A friend of mine suggested Twentymile for the fishing, and I have wanted to explore a new part of the park also. Another vote for #65, Bearpen Branch, Ill have to try this one next, but it is on the far side of the park for me (Im in Knoxville).
Crockett - Thanks for that link, I didnt know what the stream looked like at #18, and from the pictures it looks very kid friendly. That had been first on my list before, I think I might end up there after all.
Grouseman - Thanks for the suggestion on the campsite. As for the hike being too tough, this three year old is as big as most five y.o. and has been hiking since he could walk good. He's done several 2 to 3 mile hikes before. Here is a pic of us heading down the Stiffknee trail on the way to Slickrock (which is a tough trail and about 3 miles, Eli , the 3 y.o is on the left). We never made it, but that was due to running into 2 yellow jacket nests on the trail about a quarter mile before the creek. They didnt complain once other than that.
Rock on!
"Even a fish wouldn't get into trouble if he kept his mouth shut."
That is pretty hardcore and that is a moose of a three year old. Where is his pack?

I know that some studies have said that echinacea does not help lesson colds, but I swear that it works for me. I have experimented with using it and not using when sick, and I definitely feel less fatigued, and am sick for a shorter period of time when using it.

Sneak Peek Trail Runner No. 85Just when your trail motivation has withered under fall's gloomy weather and your waistline blossomed from too much stuffing ...
Hello, Trail Runners,
Just when your trail motivation has withered under fall's gloomy weather and your waistline blossomed from too much stuffing, Trail Runner's Annual Race Issue comes to the rescue. With our 2013 Race Directory—which features over 1200 events!—and Annual Wall Calendar—showcasing 12 stunning trail images—we hope to keep you from becoming one with your couch.
This keeper issue, which hits newsstands December 13, also features inspiring stories to further motivate you into the New Year. In "Stage Fright," frequent contributor Sarah Lavender Smith, shares her tale of running North America's first self-supported stage race, a 167-mile adventure starting near the north rim of the Grand Canyon, Arizona, and ending near Utah's Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Through six stages in the arid Southwest, contestants from 15 countries faced hot days, cold nights, shoe-sucking sand, slickrock, blisters, endless views, their own demons ... and came away friends for life.
In Associate Editor Ashley Arnold's "The French Taper," you can vicariously experience what it's like to crew Europe's Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc, and then to run amid a super-stacked international field in the fantastic and rugged Jungfrau Marathon, which served as this year's World Long Distance Mountain Running Challenge. And in Run Amok, columnist Rickey Gates tracks down Lance for a mountain run near Aspen, Colorado, while in Last Gasp, Bernie Boettcher runs TransRockies, but then gets knocked off the trails from a motorcycle crash.
Happy Trails,
The Trail Runner Crew

In South Florida, a view of the water can take you a long way. New to the scene, 50 Ocean not only delivers on the view but also offers a level of food, service and ambiance that surpasses expectations.
Many of those expectations are based on 50 Ocean's location atop Boston's on the Beach in Delray. For more than three decades, Boston's has been the quintessential waterfront joint—a place to gather in bathing suits and flip-flops, shake the sand from between your toes, watch a football game and pound a brew or two. Many cynics doubted the second floor of the building could be transformed into an outpost of graceful dining.
Take the private elevator to 50 Ocean, and one view of the room tells you the cynics were wrong. From the elegant ceiling of pecky cypress to the backlit bar inlaid with quartz and agate, the space is impressive. However, all the money spent on decor does not call attention to itself—it merely complements the stunning ocean view and the remarkably good food.
At lunch, a starter of crispy whole belly clams ($16) may transport you back to New England; tender and briny, lightly breaded and fluffy, they are garnished with red pepper crème and an Asian slaw. Coconut shrimp, one of the great culinary clichés, is perfectly executed as well: barely touched with coconut and delicately fried to remain fresh and juicy. Fish tacos ($16) are delightful, filled with crunchy pieces of mahi and a julienne of vegetables.
Those belly clams are also available at dinner and are equally hard to resist. The tropical seafood salad ($12), another good option, is a mix of greens, asparagus, avocado and pistachios, accompanied by a combination of delicately cooked lobster, shrimp and crab. As an entrée, the sesame-crusted ahi tuna ($29) is a thing of beauty: two large pieces of pristine, sushi-grade tuna, served rare, escorted by a soba noodle salad and baby bok choy. Speaking of defying culinary clichés, it doesn't get much better than 50 Ocean's surf and turf ($48). A grilled and perfectly undercooked Maine lobster tail is paired with a flavorful filet mignon.
This is one restaurant where settling on a dessert (particularly if it's being shared) is a difficult task, but the Flights of Cake ($9) is an excellent way to conclude. Four miniature glass ramekins allow you to sample house-made versions of tiramisu, strawberry shortcake, black forest and carrot cake and to leave sated but not overwhelmed.
Service is friendly and enthusiastic, chatty without being intrusive. Staff members are happy to enumerate their favorites and offer a rundown on the menu without being asked. They are conscientious in their follow-up, backed up by observant management.
The lounge area is dimly lit and sexy, festooned with pictures of Hemingway that recall the glory days of Key West. While the list of specialty cocktails is impressive, the selection of spirits is fairly basic, and the wine list focuses on California brands in general distribution. By the glass, Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc ($11) and Sonoma-Cutrer Russian River Ranches ($13) are as good as it gets.
There is no doubt 50 Ocean is a distinctive addition to the Delray dining scene. Open since the fall, the restaurant is now hitting its stride. Reservations are strongly advised.
