Hello Muddah ...
By DONG-PHUONG NGUYEN
Published April 6, 2007
This summer, forget the video games and endless reruns of Growing Pains. For Hillsborough County children who are aren't attending summer school or away on family vacations, there's plenty to do. Amusement parks, zoos, schools and fitness centers are all offering summer camp classes that make you think, move, jump and climb. You can act in a play, sing in a band, take professional photographs or design a Web site. You can learn how to babysit or how to play chess, become a master (of sorts) in calligraphy and origami. The offerings are endless.
At Carrollwood's Independent Day School alone, students can sign up for more than 60 summer camp activities such as needlepoint and knitting, canoeing and snorkeling.
"It's a great way for children to try out something new," said Barbara Soule, the private school's camp director, who last year oversaw more than 650 children. "They get to meet new people, have fun in a safe environment, get out of the house and away from the TV, get exercise and brush up on their academics."
With a delayed school year lengthening the summer by about two weeks, cash-strapped parents will be looking for bargains.
Think county and city - and don't wait too long.
While the city of Tampa's parks department has ended registration for its 11-week summer program, there still are spots in many city programs that focus on arts and athletics. Children can paint on silk screen in an art studio, learn glass flameworking and bead making; tumble in gymnastics classes and compete in basketball camps.
"It's very affordable," said Linda Carlo, a spokeswoman for the city of Tampa Parks and Recreation Department. "And we offer a lot of versatility to meet whatever your child's interests are."
Similarly, the Hillsborough County Parks, Recreation and Conservation department operates programs in Brandon, Northdale and elsewhere for the unusually low price of $50 per child for the summer
But getting into the county's summer camps takes a little luck. The spaces not already reserved for kids who attend the county's after-school program will be awarded by lottery later this month. For the lucky ones who get in, a summer of arts and crafts programs, swimming lessons and field trips to theme parks and sporting events awaits.
For moderately priced fun, visit your nearest YMCA, which offers camps from about $115 to $175 a week, depending on the program and the type of membership.
Skewing a bit pricier are dozens of specialty camps.
The Museum of Science and Industry, for example, offers three weeklong residential academies for teenagers, costing just over $1,000 for the week. These offer high-intensity curriculum taught through field trips, outdoor activities and special events. The teens sleep in dorms and are taught by professional instructors. Choose from MOSI Game Academy, a video game design program; MOSI Movie Academy, where kids experience professional filmmaking; and MOSI Design Academy, which introduces students to the designer and robotic experts who build ultimate roller-coasters.
For many more options, consult our camp report on Page 14. Please note that this is not intended as a comprehensive guide, just a sampling of places where your child can pass the summer.

AgustaWestland Eyes Tiltrotor 'Twice the Size of an AW609' as Project Zero Tech Incubator Moves Toward Hybrid Power
The electric tiltrotor "technology incubator" known as Project Zero is to move from an all-electric to hybrid engine architecture, according to manufacturer AgustaWestland. James Wang, vice president of research and technology, said that a diesel, a derivative from a car engine, is to be installed in the next 12 months.
|Dr. James Wang.
A group of 20 engineers developed Project Zero in Cascina Costa, Italy. A number of partner companies have provided systems and components. For example, Finmeccanica's Selex ES is in charge of avionics. Japan-based Uchida has supplied the carbon-fiber blades, shrouds and spinners.

My elder dog on chemo loves this and it gives her energy
Posted by Reviewer1258816 on Dec 05, 2011
My dog is 12 years old and is on a preventative dose of chemo until May. I wanted to insure she would have enough vitamins and minerals during this time period so I started her on Dancing Paws as it's highly rated. She loves it and she has a ton of energy -- just like a young dog. I think all dogs of all ages should be on this product.

Makeup Storage and Organization
So as you have seen over the past 7 months...my makeup collection has astronomically multiplied, lol. I have a thing about organization...things need to be in their place or I start to get a bit ansy. I do have my messy moments at points (like when you're picking an outfit for the club, and you try on a million things and everything is left abandoned on your bed and floor waiting to be picked up days later, lol) but essentially I go on cleaning and organizing sprees like I did the other day to 3 in the morning!
My makeup is stored in metal drawers, my traincase, and my linen closet. My linen closet was about to burst! I had two sterilite drawers and boxes of random products. I knew it was time for a clean sweep!
So a few weeks ago, I went to wal-mart and browsed their storage sections and came back with a few ideas.
Originally, I had bought these two pullout drawers from Bed, Bath and Beyond. I think it was on sale 2 for $30. I stack them on top of each other to save space. I think they're supposed to go under your sink for organization but I keep them on the counter for easy reach. I've been using these for the past few months and they're great! When I have clients come over for makeup...it makes me feel more professional having these lil things. I love them...but they were starting to overflow. Even the top of the drawers were being used to house brushes, my lip glosses, and random eyeshadows I've been favoring.
Here's a before:
On the top I store my foundation, blush, and eyeshadow palettes.
On the bottom I store my skincare, lip pencils, eye pencils, eyebrow stuff, and the smaller things.
Now my linen closet...it was starting to get a hot mess. Not only do I use it to store makeup, but I put towels, toilet paper, cleaning supplies and jewelry in there as well. I also hang my brush apron on the door knob. You never knew when something was going to fall off the shelf and stub your big toe.
Here are some before pics:
My goal was to have the counter as clear as possible. And I wanted the metal drawers to be reorganized as well as the linen closet. It was feng shui for my makeup station. So I definitely used more plastic containers and drawers to help me out with this.
So here are the after shots:
You might not be able to tell...but I moved a lot of items around. I put a lot of things in those clear pencil bags I showed you guys earlier in my traincase video. I also moved all my powder compacts and MSFs/Bronzers into a rectangular drawer organizer and put it on top of the drawers...they fit perfectly into it and keeps super organized.
Doesn't the closet look a hundred times better? I moved my toilets and toilet paper to the top so the middle drawers within reach all had makeup. I added an extra set of drawers and bought a big plastic case to hold all my falsies. I also added a wire shelf to create two levels to store some of my jewelry.
I don't mean to toot my own horn, but I love how I came up with this idea, lol. This is a $7 over the door plastic shoe holder. It has clear slots and about 22 pockets for me to hold everything. I don't put makeup in here, but more so supplies. It has everything from q-tips, sponges, mixing mediums, moisturizers, makeup wipes, label maker, empty 5 grame containers...all in easy to see clear pockets. This makes it so much easier for me to find items and return them back to their place quickly. Love it! My makeup clients (the girls mainly) love it too!
So today I'm off to do Atlanta Fashion week...i have to be at the Georgia World Congress Center at 1pm to start...so I had to take a half day off of work. It should be interesting! I'm going to try and film some footage to show you all. Saturday I'm doing a mother daughter photoshoot of a good friend of mine. Sunday another photoshoot with this really great male model...busy busy busy!
Hope you guys have a fab weekend!

Hip hop vs. homophobia
Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Toki Wright, Twin Cities poet and emcee.
Two-time National Poetry Slam champion, activist, writer and educator Kyle "Guante" Tran Myhre will headline Hip Hop Against Homophobia 5-7 p.m. Oct. 18 in the ballroom of Atwood Memorial Center.
The free public event will combat speech and actions that express irrational fears about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities. It's one of many events across the nation marking LGBT History Month. View a calendar of campus LGBT History Month events in October (PDF).
Parking is free on streets adjacent to campus and a dollar per hour in the 4th Avenue Parking Ramp.
"We wanted to create space for healthy community collaboration. To highlight the overlap that already exists between the Twin Cities' big, vibrant, diverse hip-hop scene and big, vibrant, diverse LBGTQ culture," said Guante. "We wanted to throw fun rap shows that were also explicitly safe spaces for people, no matter how they identify."
View these video clips by and about Guante:
- "A Hug From A Stranger" -- with Big Cats
- Recitation of his poem REACH
- Speech at a cancer fundraiser
- 5 Questions interview
Other artists slated to perform include Toki Wright, Big Cats, See More Perspective, Heidi Barton Stink and Kaoz.
The event is co-sponsored by KVSC 88.1 FM, the University's student-run radio station.
"KVSC plays these artists and supports the Minnesota hip-hop scene that has taken a stand against homophobia, something that is unfortunately present in the commercial hip-hop scene," said Jo McMullen-Boyer, station manager.
Teaming with KVSC is the LGBT Resource Center, which provides an inclusive and educational environment for students, staff, faculty, alumni, allies and the community at large.
"I believe SCSU students and members of the greater St. Cloud community can expect a thoughtful, inclusive message that challenges the perception of hip-hop," said Brandon Johnson, LGBT Resource Center director. "In particular, the mainstream hip-hop message that tends to support a homophobic and heterosexist message."
Hip Hop Against Homophobia is an all-ages concert funded by the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.

Reviews for Almond Chocolate Biscotti
"very dry and crumbly"
"We did not like this, it really had the consistency of a dried out stale piece of cake. And all it did was fall apart."
"Just got done making these...yummy delicious crunchy PERFECT! so easy as well! a suggestion I have is when cutting the biscotti is to use both hands to press on the knife, dont saw at it!"
"The biscotti were no problem to make; really a lot of fun. But the drizzle was difficult. The chips never melted so that they were of a texture where they would drizzle over the biscotti. I had to add some milk to them and then it was too runny. Perhaps it was just a case of some kind of beginner's luck..."
"We are addicted to this - even my kids! I made these with dark chocolate cake mix, then added some chopped pecans and chopped white chips into the mix instead of any drizzle on top. SO yummo! We will be making this again soon~"
"I tweaked this recipe for a holiday cookie basket I gave my parents a few years ago. My dad cannot have nuts so I replaced the almond and vanilla extracts with peppermint extract and the nuts with crushed peppermints. Needless to say they were a hit and every Christmas I am required to make him his own personal batch of them."
"I made these with triple chocolate fudge cake mix. My husband thought they were too chocolaty but everyone else loved them. Really, is there such a thing as too much chocolate? A keeper for sure & has made me a new fan of biscotti."
"This was so easy and delicious. If you love Biscotti then try it...you won't be disappointed!"
"With a glass of milk....Yummy!!!"
"very flavorful any fan of chocolate will love it"

Signs of a problem in code enforcement
A recent Adirondack Daily Enterprise article discussed an upcoming decision by the Saranac Lake Zoning Board of Appeals regarding vinyl window decals at some area businesses. Mr. Knight's article was well written and factually accurate; I am not writing to contest anything that he has written, but merely to add to it.
The Tri-Lakes Center for Independent Living installed window decals late in September of 2012. In addition to informing the public of the services available to the community from the Tri-Lakes Center for Independent Living, the decals, which are semi-transparent, provide privacy to agency consumers at the front of our office. The product has improved the appearance of our front window, which was once an empty, vacant-looking space that consisted of a few plants and old, pink, metal blinds. Prior to the installation of the decals, not only did people not know what the Center for Independent Living did, but some people wondered if a business was actually occupying our space on Broadway.
Regarding the decision to be made by the Zoning Board of Appeals and the comments made by its members, I would like to make the following points:
While these decals might qualify as signs, they do not meet the definition of any type of sign included in the village's code. Code enforcement has stated that we have violated the sign code as it pertains to window signs, but the village's code clearly defines a window sign as "a sign inside of a building but intended to be viewed from the outside." Our decal does not meet this definition, as it consists of a semi-transparent material that is adhered to the exterior of the window. It is my position that, by narrowly defining such a sign, the village must adhere to this definition; window decals cannot be considered window signs, according to the code. No other type of sign mentioned within the village's code would apply to a window decal.
Board member Patricia Hillman points out that the code prohibits signs "placed upon a structure in any manner as to disfigure or conceal a window." It cannot be argued that these decals somehow conceal our windows. The decals are semi-transparent, and it is obvious that they are adhered to a window; they do not look like a wall, as claimed by Hillman. The term "disfigure," which means to spoil the attractiveness of something, is subjective. Many individuals have commented that the decals have improved the look of TLCIL's space.
Hillman states that Saranac Lake is "a small town, and we don't want to be a city. … We don't want to be a New York City with signs all over the place. We want to be a cute, small, rural, upper Adirondack small town." This may be Hillman's vision for Saranac Lake, but this does not mean that everyone shares this vision. These decals are not installed in a residential area of the village; TLCIL's decal is on a window in a business district, next to the post office and across the street from a very commercial-looking building, Community Bank. The government in Saranac Lake has worked diligently to brand the village and recruit businesses to the area, and I commend these efforts. Those businesses that have installed window decals are also trying to brand themselves and, in TLCIL's case, invite consumers to utilize services.
It should be noted that two of the three businesses served with violation notices have had these decals installed for several years, with a notice of violation being issued only after an anonymous complaint was made to the village. While Community Development Director Jeremy Evans says that the village "isn't necessarily going to issue violation notices to other businesses in the community because their window signs are bigger than 2 square feet," every business located within the village that employs the use of a sign should take notice and realize that it only takes one complaint from one person who doesn't like your sign for you to receive a notice that you are in violation of the code. Once this happens, you will be engaged in a long and costly process if you wish to protect the investment you have made to promote your business. As Mr. Boyer has pointed out, many businesses (he estimates 40) could be subject to such action by the village.
The Zoning Board of Appeals has an important decision before them. Will they interpret the code in such a way as to allow local businesses to promote themselves within our community, or will they succumb to an anonymous complaint and jeopardize the ability of every business in the village to promote itself?
Nathan Cox is executive director of the Tri-Lakes Center for Independent Living in Saranac Lake.

Updates and a Before and After
Yay it's Friday! This week went by pretty quick for me. It was a tough one though. Remember I mentioned I had an allergic reaction to some squeezy tube chapstick? Dang after dealing with swelling, bleeding, leaking and itching for a week I finally had to go to the dermatologist yesterday. I got a shot in my hip, some creams, antibiotics and allergy medicines, lol. I already notice the difference! Thanks goodness because this was definitely putting a cramp in my makeup style!
Anything big planned this weekend? I have two shoots this weekend, both on Saturday...not too bed. The rest of the time, I gotta finish putting things in storage (my boyfriend officially checked out of his apartment moved in last week) and clean up the place for tomorrow. A lot of my clients come to my "home studio" to get their makeup done. I find this so much more convenient so I don't have to load all my makeup around. It also helps me keep my place clean, lol.
I completed my MAC Halloween look and the video should be up tonight! Stayed tuned!
You know I couldn't leave you without a makeup pic! Again, I was digging through some old files and found a before shot of one of the models I worked with a few months ago. Everyone loves a before and after! False lashes, concealer and a little contouring makes such a dramatic difference!

Lisa Delpit's Multiplication Is for White People: Raising Expectations for Other People's Children argues that "low performance begins with American racism," writes Mark Bauerlein in Ed Next.
Black males perform poorly because "our young men have internalized all of the negative stereotypes." Sometimes black students are invisible, unnoticed, and disrespected, and sometimes they are "hypervisible," their normal youth behaviors magnified into pathologies. They end up estranged from school culture ("disidentification"), mistrusting their own capacities and fulfilling belittling expectations.
. . . The classroom is a white, middle-class space often hostile to African American norms. It downplays collaboration, she notes, even though these students need it to "feel more secure and less vulnerable." It ignores past contributions to learning and science by African Americans. It neglects spirituality, whereas "traditional African education" incorporates "education for the spirit" into everyday lessons.
The demoralization is demonstrated by a middle schooler who announces, "Black people don't multiply; black people just add and subtract. White people multiply."
"The clash of school culture with African American out-of-school culture" is a significant problem, Bauerlein writes, but he's not persuaded that cultural sensitivity is sufficient to produce high performance.
Delpit lauds a math lesson based on racial profiling. A student says, "Now I realize that you could use math to defend your rights and realize the injustices around you."
Bauerlein is skeptical:
But what about the math scores those students attain in 12th grade? What grades do they get in first-year college calculus? Delpit claims that schools impart the message that "you must give up identifiably African American norms in order to succeed," but she never shows that embracing those norms produces higher college enrollment or workplace readiness.
The "no excuses" schools explicitly teach school culture — aim high, work hard, show respect, don't quit– to low-income black and Hispanic students. Inner-city Catholic schools often do the same, writes Patrick McCloskey in The Street Stops Here. Students may embrace street culture when they walk out the door — they may need to — but not in school.
Here's an Ed Week interview with Delpit.

Volume 6 Number 1
after Japan opened its doors to the West, Princeton Seminary
graduate Edward R. Miller, Class of 1870, arrived and
remained there until a few months prior to his death in
1915; he taught in a theological college. He was soon
followed by ten other Princeton alumni, and by 1950,
sixty-nine Princeton alumni had gone to Japan.
Presbyterian churches in Seoul have more than 50,000
members. One of them, the Youngnak (Eternal Life)
Presbyterian Church, has a congregation of more than 75,000.
It was founded by Princeton alumnus Kyung Chik Han, Class of
1929, and he served as its pastor until 1972. He
was followed there by David Kim, Class of 1954. In all,
sixty-five alumni of the Seminary through 1950 have served
in Korea.
One of the most distinguished of
these was Toyohiko Kagawa, Class of 1915. He was born a
Japanese aristocrat and was converted to Christ by a street
preacher; on his return to Japan, Kagawa enjoyed an
extraordinary ministry as evangelist, labor union organizer,

from Korea was Syngman Rhee (not related to the recent moderator
of the PCUSA), who came here in 1908 as a student both at the
Seminary and at Princeton University. He eventually earned a Ph.D.
in political science from the university and became in 1948 the
first president of the Republic of Korea. By 1950, seventy-three
Koreans had followed him to Princeton.
In 1909 our first student from China, Zung-Ziang
Kway, came to Princeton, and he was followed by eighty-seven other
Chinese students through 1950. Exchanges between Asia and Princeton have enriched the Seminary
immeasurably—and continue to do so today.

Record-Journal (Dec. 5): "Quality Control for Rx Marijuana"
Heather Miller Coyle, a forensic botanist and associate professor at UNH says all sorts of nasty things not visible to the naked eye have been found in marijuana — mold, mildew, insect parts, salmonella and E. coli, to name a few. That's why she and her students began developing a process to detect contaminants in marijuana through DNA profiling and analysis. The aim is to identify potentially harmful substances through a testing method that could make the analysis easier and quicker for labs across the country in the developing industry of marijuana quality control testing.

Mendon, Rush-Henrietta should be among the state's best in cross country
The Monroe County boys girls cross country leagues opened what should be interesting seasons on Sept. 14.
Pittsford Mendon, led by seniors Shaylyn Tuite and Morgan Atkins, is listed at No. 5 among the New York Sportswriters Association's preseason top-10. Tuite was first-team all-state in Class A in 2009, Atkins a member of the fifth team.
Honeoye Falls-Lima, which has moved into Class A from B, and Canandaigua are also among the NYSSWA's girls teams to watch. Canandaigua sophomore Kendall D'Amore and junior Kate McCormick were on last season's Class A all-state third team.
Mendon defeated Canandaigua 21-40 on the league's opening day, with help from junior Allison Hallock.
Penfield also has an all-state performer back, freshman Kate Lembo, who was sixth team in Class AA.
Rush-Henrietta appears to have the most depth among the boys, as the Royal Comets could put together a decent top-five just among its juniors.
"That class is tremendously deep," Irondequoit coach Matt Tytler said.
Honeoye Falls-Lima lost Alex Deir, the two-time All-Greater Rochester Runner of the Year, and AGR team member Steve Mangan to graduation, but still may have Section V's top individual runner.
"Kevin Hoose could win the (Class A) state meet," Tytler said.
Hoose and McQuaid's Robert Hurlbut, whose team is not in the Monroe County League, are the top all-state boys runners back in Section V. Both seniors were fourth-team all-state in 2009.
One thing to watch for, is who will emerge as the area's top boys runner?
Last year seemed to be an open and shut case in favor of Deir, a two-time state champion who was the 2009 Gatorade New York Boys Cross Country Runner of the Year.
The No. 1 runners back in Monroe County alone include Webster Thomas senior Jared Rousell, 10th team all-state. Greece Arcadia's Lou Lipani and Brighton's Scott Smolensky, also seniors, were ninth team all-state in 2009.
Athena Hall of Fame: Homecoming weekend at Greece Athena includes the induction ceremony for the latest class of the school's sports hall of fame.
The ceremony on Sept. 25 begins with a reception at 1 p.m. in the Athena Performing Arts Center and a presentation of plaquess before the varsity football team's home game against Greece Arcadia.
A dinner reception takes place 6 p.m. that night at Red Fedele's Brook House Restaraunt, where the hall of fame members can make their acceptance speeches.
Tickets are $25. For reservations or more information, e-mail email@example.com or call
Thomas Mooney at 585-738-0573.
This year's class at Athena:
John Ahern: The 1997 graduate capped three seasons as a starter on the football teams offensive and
defensive lines with All-Greater Rochester and all-state honors as a senior. He went on to play at the University of Delaware.
Dick Cerone: Athena's former athletic director, now the state and Section V high school football chairman, helped create the Eddie Meat All-Star Game that
benefits the Golisano Children's Hospital.
Bob Grant: The late Mr. Grant, a social studies teacher, coached football at Athena and Olympia during a 35-year period, Athena won its only Section V title with Mr. Grant as coach in 1981.
Mike Pullano: A standout in football, basketball and baseball. The class of 1998 member was all-Monroe County in football and baseball. His varsity batting average with the baseball Trojans was .510.
Steve Strelick: The six-time all-state cross country, indoor track or outdoor track and field graduated in the class of 2001. Athena's cross country team was 38-0 over his junior and senior seasons.
Leah Viera: The 2003 graduate was a two-time all-state soccer midfielder and a Monroe County Player of the Year. She went on to start every game possible at Providence in Rhode Island.

EPA former administrator to address graduates
PRINCESS ANNE, MD - (April 26, 2013) - Lisa P. Jackson, the Environmental Protection Agency's administrator during President Obama's first term, will deliver the 126th spring commencement address to some 400 graduates and their guests May 17, at 10 a.m. in the William P. Hytche Athletic Center.
Jackson led an agency that employs a staff of 17,000 committed to protecting the nation "from health treats from toxins to pollution" and renewing the public's trust in the agency's work.
When she announced her resignation in December, news organizations credited Jackson for pushing through "the most sweeping curbs on air pollution in three decades." She also worked to limit the amount of waste from mines dumped into waterwaays and spoke out about protecting the poor from exposure to a disproportionate amount of pollution.
In accepting her resignation, the president praised Jackson for her accomplishments during her four years of service.
"Under her leadership, the EPA has taken sensible and important steps to protect the air we breathe and the water we drink, including implementing the first national standard for harmful mercury pollution, taking important action to combat climate change under the Clean Air Act, and playing a key role in establishing historic fuel economy standards that will save the average American family thousands of dollars at the pump while also slashing carbon pollution."
Jackson, the first African-American to serve as EPA administrator, was named one of Essence Magazine's "40 Women Who Have Influenced the World." She was also recognized as Newsweek's "Most Important People in 2010," and Time Magazine's "100 Most Influential People in the World" for its 2010 and 2011 list.
Jackson earned a bachelor's from Tulane University in New Orleans and a master's in chemical engineering from Princeton University in New Jersey.

I talked a while ago about my plan to do a forest EP (3 or 4 songs) in 1 night. yes thats right 1 night
The idea is to have a big party, musicians on stage, people shouting out ideas for songs and shouting what the next lyric will be etc etc. Well everyone seemed to like the idea, and I would like to organise it properly now. (we thought about doing it at Blender 2 but had too much other great shit going down)
We have the recording equipment, we have the ideas and talent from a plethora of weird, wacky, genius songwriters/poets/storytellers/musicians/random weirdos and I think we can come up with some great tunes . You can do as much as you want on the night...sit back and laugh at the crazyness, come up and sing, shake a marracca etc etc. I want to get as many people involved.
However I do think there should be a set bunch of musicians (not singers) on stage so we can get a good sounding backing track to the wacky songs, and it will give it a bit more consistency and allow us to make music faster...
The simple fact is:
We will probably create a number 1 hit! in Syberia...I'm not afraid to say it, coz I believe it
Well if people are still up for it then I shall start the ball rolling, organising the musicans and a date in the Forest.
ideas etc...POST HERE

TV Goes Too Far: Who Needs Ultra HD?
My first PC, bought in 1982, had a green screen like an oscilloscope and could only display letters-and-numbers. I had to buy a brand new Microsoft (MSFT) Windows '95 PC in 1994 just to display primitive cartoons, run off a CD-ROM.
But technology keeps on accelerating. By early in the last decade it was assumed that you could run video files on your PC, the only limit being the speed of your connection. With broadband, you could download a full screen in real-time.
Now it's common to watch high-definition movies on devices like the Apple (AAPL) iPad and Amazon (AMZN) Kindle. The latest movies, in all their glory, download as fast as they display.
But technology has no patience with today, no matter how insanely great, and just as we're getting used to HD, the Consumer Electronic Show in Las Vegas is bringing us something called Ultra High Definition.
Ultra HD specifications were finalized last May and claim to have four times the number of pixels as standard HD sets. Since most people change their TVs every seven years, most now have HD sets and the price of a flat screen set is now down to $364, as The Washington Post reports.
Good news for you, bad news for TV makers like Sony (SNE) and Vizio. Bad news for chipmakers like Qualcomm (QCOM) and Broadcom (BRCM) . Technology companies can't sit back just because you're happy. They have go forward, and hope you will follow, to the next big thing, and the next, and the next.
Trouble is, there's little programming yet for Ultra HD. Sony has put 10 of its movies into the format, in order to sell sets and the coming standard, as The Huffington Post reports, but that's about it for now. Still Samsung, Vizio, HiSense LG and Sharp all announced Ultra HD products at this show.
It's a chicken-and-egg problem the industry faced before, with HD, but back then you at least had movies made in the format to fall back on. This time, we're putting in better sets than the studios can supply with content.
If the studios can't save Ultra HD, maybe the Internet can. Maybe game companies can. Broadcom announced an Ultra HD home gateway chip at CES, writes Cnet, along with a new codec for digitizing Ultra HD.
Qualcomm says its new Snapdragon chip for mobile phones can play back Ultra HD video while running your battery no faster than older standards and older phones. Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs gave the CES keynote address, covered by CBS.
But here is the problem. As the way content is displayed improves, it costs more-and-more to create good stuff.

50+: Live Better, Longer
Berries May Slow Memory Loss
April 26, 2012 -- Eating berries at least once a week may protect the brain from age-related memory loss, a large new study shows.
The study included more than 16,000 women who are taking part in the Nurses' Health Study.
Researchers have been keeping tabs on the women's diets since 1980. Between 1995 and 2001, researchers also measured the mental function of women who were over 70 and had not had a stroke.
Mental functioning was measured during three telephone interviews that were spaced about two years apart. In the interviews, researchers asked the women to recall details from a paragraph they'd just heard, for example, or to remember the order of words or numbers in a list.
When researchers compared women who ate the most blueberries and strawberries to those who ate the fewest, they found that those who ate the most had a slower rate of developing memory problems. The difference was equal to about two-and-a-half years of aging.
"This is pretty compelling evidence to suggest that berries do appear to have memory benefits," says researcher Elizabeth E. Devore, ScD, instructor in medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
What may be even better news is that the biggest berry eaters in the study weren't eating mounds of them every day. On average, they were eating a single half-cup serving of blueberries or two half-cup servings of strawberries each week.
"These are simple interventions that appear to have pretty healthful effects," Devore says.
The study can't prove that berries protected the women's brains directly.
In fact, women in the study who ate berries regularly also got more exercise and had higher incomes -- two factors that are also linked to having better health.
But researchers say that even after they adjusted their results to account for differences like that, having a diet high in fruits and vegetables, particularly berries, still appeared to be linked to having a sharper memory.
Brain Foods That Help You Focus
How Berries May Be Good for the Brain
The study, which is published in the Annals of Neurology, builds on smaller studies in mice and humans that have suggested that berries may benefit the brain.

Eat more fruits and vegetables for a healthy heart!
While Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the U.S., many of the risk factors are largely preventable through healthy eating and lifestyle patterns. One of the most important dietary factors often overlooked is our intake of fruit and vegetables. We all hear that eating more fruit and veggies is important, but most people aren't getting nearly enough of these amazing disease-fighting foods. While the USDA recommends adults consume at least 2 cups of fruit and 2 ½ cups of vegetables each day, the Produce for Better Health Foundation published findings that the average person consumes only 1.8 cups combined of fruit and vegetables each day, which is less than half of the recommended amounts. In terms of heart health, fruit and vegetable intake is closely correlated with healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels, along with reduced risk of heart attacks.
A very important study (The Nurses' Healthy Study and Healthy Professionals follow-up study) concluded that people who consumed larger amounts of fruit and vegetables had a reduced risk of developing heart disease. In fact, those who had 8 or more servings of fruit and vegetables each day were 30% less likely to have a heart attack than those who ate the fewest servings. Those who ate 5 servings of fruits and veggies still had a 20% reduced risk of having heart attacks.
Not only are fruits and veggies great sources of fiber, vitamins and minerals, but they also contain antioxidants, which are compounds in fruits and vegetables (especially deeply colored ones) that may help reverse cellular damage and may play a role in the prevention of illnesses like cancer and heart disease.
If all of this isn't enough to get you running to the nearest farmer's market or produce section of your grocery store, here's another great benefit of getting in those fruits and veggies: these are some of the best "diet-friendly" foods because they are what we call "nutrient dense" meaning they have very high nutritional value for minimal calories. They're the foods that are always great to eat more of if you're still feeling hungry but trying to watch your calorie intake, which is something we tell our guests of our adult weight loss camp. So make a point to add more fruits and veggies to your day to improve your health!
Here's a fresh, delicious, and heart healthy recipe. It's a delicious green smoothie we make at Shane Diet & Fitness Resorts for a healthy snack or dessert. Our guests love it, and this is the perfect way to sneak extra veggies into your day!

GOP Uses Twitter, Facebook to Revive 'Cliff' Talks and Rally Market
NEW YORK ( TheStreet -- The S&P 500 rallied on Thursday after Eric Cantor hit social network to reveal that the House of Representatives will meet on Sunday, Dec. 30, as Congress works to broker a last-minute deal to avoid a so-called fiscal cliff.
Cantor's comments came after Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid expressed skepticism early on Thursday that lawmakers would be able to reach a deal to avoid tax increases and federal budget cuts.
"The House will return for legislative business on Sunday, December 30. First votes are expected at 6:30 p.m." Rep. Cantor (R-Va.) wrote in a Twitter post at around 3 p.m. Eastern time.
"The House may be in session through Wednesday, January 2," he wrote in a follow-up post to the social network. "As a reminder, the 113th Congress will convene at noon on Thursday, January 3," added Cantor.
After falling more than 1%, the S&P 500 recovered most of its losses, closing down only 0.1%. "I don't know time-wise how it can happen now," Reid, a Nevada Democrat, said early on Thursday before Cantor's remarks.
Bloomberg reports that in a conference call, House Speaker John Boehner told Republicans that the Senate should approve a House plan to avoid $600 billion in tax increases and spending cuts, citing an unnamed source.
Bank stocks were among the worst performers on Thursday, with Bank of America (BAC) , Citigroup (C) and Morgan Stanley (MS) falling more than 0.5%, underperforming broader markets and the Financial Sector SPDR ETF (XLF) .
Other Republicans also took to social media to express optimism of a final attempt at reaching a deal before year-end. On Thursday afternoon, Sen. Scott Brown (R-Mass.) wrote on Facebook(FB) he was headed back to Washington to see if a vote will be held on a new proposal between President Obama and Senate GOP leadership.
"Heading back to dc. Just learned that the Pres. reached out to Senate GOP leadership with a proposal. It is the first such proposal to be put forth. Eager to see why it is. How it is serious," Brown wrote on his Facebook page. On Twitter, later in the day, Brown wrote, "Getting on place to DC to review plan from Pres. We will see. Better late than never."
Republican officials contradicted Brown's social media rumblings. However, Cantor's subsequent announcement that the House of Representatives will reconvene moved markets sharply.
In a Senate chamber speech at the market close, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said President Obama had reached out to the Senate's GOP leadership about the prospect of reviving deal talks. While Sen. McConnell (R-Kan.) expressed skepticism on the timing of President Obama's last minute outreach, he added, "We might finally start talking... Hopefully there is still time for a deal of some kind."

2005 Bodegas Castano "Hecula"
You can grab this right now at Costco in So Cal for 9$, which is insane. This wine is scary good for how inexpensive it is. It's the vinous equivalent of tacos from a hole in the wall place...There's so much going on in this wine, it's tough to start somewhere. 100% Monastrell, which is also known as Mouvedre in France (the grape they make Bandol out of). Its from Yecla, in Southeastern Spain. Aromatically, this is a dense, dark effort that has a lot of minerals, licorice, blackberries, and spice. There's a lot of other stuff too, but using too many adjectives in a string of superlatives can be boring...Once in the mouth, this wine continues on the spicy, blackberry, licorice path. There's a good finish too that has chocolate character and licorice.
I like this wine a lot. Of course, it's no surprise because it's imported by Eric Solomon...I'm going to go back and buy a couple of cases of this wine. It's miles better than the Luzon. For the price, I don't know if this can be beat. Scary good. Only 9$? A+

Couldn't find it at San Jose area Costco's. K&L (Hollywood) has some though. Jeff, what's the Costco item number?
- July 4, 2009 at 9:57 AM
- Jeff said...
Not sure what the item number is, but Bay Area and LA regions of Costco have different buyers. Next time I'm in Costco (I was going to go tonight) I'll look for you. You can order bottles online from K&L Hollywood and have them will-called to Redwood City for free I believe if you can't find it anywhere else...

The item number is 600967. Let me know if you manage to track down a couple of bottles and what you think.

Thanks Jeff. I'll see if there's any available locally. I ordered one bottle of 2005 Bodegas Castano "Solanera Vinas Viejas" from K&L. Sounds like good stuff.

Let me know if it's any good after you have it...

....but Yecla is pretty far south (SE) in Spain....the north is either Basque Country Rioja or Galicia.....

Dude. You're totally right. I looked on a map, but maybe I guess I wasn't really paying attention. Looking at it again, it really looks more like Eastern Spain to me (as opposed to Southern). Thanks for informing me and teaching me something new.

Antonio Gramsci, that great architect of the coming oppression was a shrewd man. He understood that the overthrow of the great liberal tradition would be a journey that would take generations. It would require a long march through the cultural institutions, overthrowing line by line and precept by precept those bedrock moral values upon which the freedom of men was first defined and later codified into law. Today the children of the great people of the Magna Carta, of English Common Law, the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution worship instead pleasure, safety, and wealth.
The God of Abraham has been forgotten, the same God who freed Abraham from the delusion of polytheism and the Israelite from the tyranny of Egypt, who gave man a Gospel from which insights into the nature and dignity man was drawn, and whose teachings unleashed a creativity that brought healing and light into a world in ways that would astonish the prophets and philosophers of old. And in that forgetting, we embrace a darkness the depth of which most of us do not yet perceive.

Man arrested in Iron River on assault, drug charges
Kingsford mail center closure going forward
KINGSFORD – Efforts to keep the U.S. Postal Service from closing its Kingsford Processing and Distribution Center have apparently reached a dead end.
According to Kingsford City Manager Tony Edlebeck, U.S. Sen. Carl Levin's office reports that the postal service plans to move general mail processing out of Kingsford this summer. A little more than a year ago, the postal service confirmed plans to close the Kingsford center and move mail processing operations to a Green Bay, Wis., facility.
Sen. Levin, D-Mich., assisted an appeal to block the move, but Edlebeck told the Kingsford City Council on Monday that the postal service is not backing down.
As previously announced, retail operations at the Kingsford facility will continue, Edlebeck said.
Levin's office indicates that express mail processing will remain at Kingsford, although that represents only a fraction of the current mail volume, Edlebeck added.
A year ago, postal officials estimated that closing the Kingsford center could impact 45 to 50 jobs.
At an October 2011 public hearing in Kingsford, postal representatives said consolidation would result in a two- to three-day service standard for first class mail within the Upper Peninsula. Currently, there is a next-day standard in the region.
At that same hearing, postal officials estimated that consolidating Kingsford operations with Green Bay operations would save nearly $5.3 million annually.

Topic: DRY collection of a find result
I want to extract four instance variables to make them available to a view. My query:
@results = Item.find(:all, :conditions ...)
Now, each item in @results belongs to a category and in the view, they should be separated for better display. So is it better to write 4 find lines or only one as above and collect them ? if you suggest the second way, please help me in coding it!
Thanks in advance

Congratulations to Ania Olesinska and Nathan Shimsher who placed third in the MIX team in Cairo to take home the Bronze Medal. This was the first medal for US in the new mixed relay event. A special thanks to Coach Jan Olesinski for all of his hard work.
I had the privilege of attending the US Pony Club East Coast Championships in Lexington, VA last week. Over 50 youth participated in the Tetrathlon event. I was impressed by the commitment of youth and parents alike.
One of the great accomplishments of this trip was meeting with USPC President Tom Adams and agreeing on a plan to mutually recognize and support each organization. USPC will work through the Tetrathlon committee. We believe this endeavor will be a win-win for both organizations.
The USPC West Coast Championship will be held August 10-16 in Auburn, WA.

Co-captains lead on the course and off. On Saturday, Hamline's three co-captains did their leading on the course at the Roy Griak Invitational at the U of Minnesota Saturday morning in a big way. Senior Devin Monson (Sr., Thompson, N.D.) ran a tremendous race, beating out 330 other runners to the win Division III portion of the race. Monson ran the 8K course in a time of 25:33.9, winning by nearly 14 seconds. He also clipped nearly a minute off his time of last year, when he finished in ninth place.
The Pipers, who are ranked No. 1 in their region, improved on their sixth place standing of a year ago, coming in fourth place among the 32 teams (including four other MIAC squads) involved with a total of 138 points, trailing only three Wisconsin schools.
In addition to Monson's sterling effort, Jack Deichert finished in 21st place with a time of 24:24.2. Ellis Richardson (Sr., Shoreview, Minn.), the third co-captain, came in 29th with a 26:37 timing, nipping teammate Colin Rogers (Jr., River Falls, Wis.) by less than two seconds. Chris Reisdorfer (Jr. Adrian, Minn.) was the Pipers' fifth scorer with a 57th place finish.

October 16, 2006 WIC Update
SUBJECT: You Are Invited
SUBJECT: Extra Formula (Attachments)
SUBJECT: Educational Opportunity
SUBJECT: Formula Approvals October 17 - 19, 2006
SUBJECT: October 21- HANDS Will Be on Emergency Power
SUBJECT: Microsoft Office 2000 Licenses
SUBJECT: Program Updates Q/A
- You Are Invited: The State WIC staff is hosting an informal get together before the Missouri WIC Association Annual Meeting begins on October 19. Please stop by the Truman State Office Building room 730 between 10:00 AM and noon and talk with the staff. We will have many staff available to answer questions and share ideas. The nutrition staff is looking for local agencies interested in volunteering for their Nutrition and Education Committees. They will be there to offer more detailed information on these great volunteer opportunities. We hope all agencies attending the MWA meeting will take a few minutes to walk across the street from the Capitol Plaza Hotel and visit with us. Contact for this event is Lyn Konstant, (573) 751-6086.
- Extra Formula (Attachments): A database listing unused infant formulas and medical foods is kept at the State WIC Office. With the implementation of the approval authority for many infant formulas and medical foods now at the local level, the State Office may not always know what is available. Please be sure to notify your district nutritionist or D'Anne Ward (firstname.lastname@example.com) when you have unused formula available at your agency so it may be added to the database. The listing will be sent out on a monthly basis so you are kept up-to-date on what is available at other LWPs.
Please check the listing in order to utilize formulas with the most recent expiration date first, prior to placing an order, to help keep food costs down. Attached is a current listing of extra formula available at different LWPs and guiding principles for shipping created to assist you when sending or receiving extra supply of infant formula. If you have any questions regarding this information, please contact D'Anne Ward at 1-800-392-8209 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
- Educational Opportunity: The American Dietetic Association Center for Professional Development and the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, Bureau of WIC and Nutrition Services, Nutrition Training Institute are sponsoring a free educational opportunity: Enhancing Nutrition for Children with Special Health Care Needs on November 9th from 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. This live and interactive phone teleseminar focuses on learning five specific components of a nutritional assessment as applied to a special needs child, identifying three evidence-based nutritional recommendations for nutrition or feeding/eating problems of children with special needs, and describing three practices or techniques to interact effectively with parents, caregivers and other team members. It is designed for WIC Nutritionists, Registered Dietitians, and Dietetic Technicians Registered who work in clinical and community health settings with children, adolescents and their parents; private practitioners, health care professionals who work in pediatric long term care and rehab settings; and school-based dietitians and foodservice professionals. Please see the attached site registration form for details or contact Michele Bailey at (573) 751-6481 or firstname.lastname@example.com with questions.
- Formula Approvals October 17 - 19, 2006: State WIC nutritionists who normally approve formula that require state approval will be out of the office on Tuesday, October 17th through Thursday, October 19th. On these dates, the LWP Nutritionist or Registered Dietitian (RD) has permission to approve the formula for 1 month only; in cases where the LWP does not have a nutritionist or RD on staff, the CPA may then approve the formula for 1 month only. They should follow up with a phone call (1-800-392-8209) or email message to Rose Sipakati at email@example.com by Friday, October 20th.
- October 21- HANDS Will Be on Emergency Power: On Saturday, October 21, the Truman Office Building in Jefferson City is scheduling a complete electrical shutdown from 6:00 a.m. until midnight. The State Data Center (where the HANDS mainframe computer is located) will be on emergency power during this time; it is not expected that any problems will occur. However, if the system does go down, WIC clinics should use manual checks as they normally would when the system is down. If you have questions, contact Mark Davis at firstname.lastname@example.com or 1-800-392-8209.
- Microsoft Office 2000 Licenses: We are planning to request USDA Operational Adjustment funds to purchase one license of Microsoft Office 2000 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Access) for every LWP desktop computer and laptop with a WIC tag that does not already have it installed. Currently the State WIC office provides one license of Microsoft 2000 for every agency. Some agencies may have purchased additional licenses for WIC desktop computers and laptops. In order to know how many licenses to purchase if we are approved to do this, I need to know how many licenses LWPs will need. So, by the end of day Friday, October 27 send me by email your agency's name and the total number of Microsoft Office 2000 licenses your agency would need for every WIC desktop computer and laptop to have this software. If you have questions, contact Mark Davis at firstname.lastname@example.com or 1-800-392-8209.
- Program Updates Q/A: Attached are the questions with answers from the Program Updates Training conducted during August. Thank you for being patient while we developed this list. If you have additional questions, please discuss them with your technical assistance team.

% hydration in commercial pizza shops
August 04, 2013, 08:37:48 PM »
I started at 62% hydration. The dough is very sticky and difficult to handle
also I did a test. 300 grams of flour in the oven for 1 hour it weighed 293 grams losses 2% water
At 58% much easier to handle
at 55 % better to handle but much more difficult to get good flavor
What are hydration level in pizza shops that hand form pizza?

It's not as simple as that. Flour has all sorts of rheological properties that very from product to product and affect how it will handle and perform. Flour A at 60% may feel similar to flour B at 65%. Likewise, you might have two flours that make dough of a similar stickiness at some given hydration % but one almost opens all on its own while you have to fight the other to get it open, etc.

The hard wheat flour that I get in Panama feels too sticky at 62 percent hydration. feels much better at 56 to 58. I can make the 62% level work ok at a long mixing time. near 15 minutes in a kitchen aid speed 2.
No matter what I mix I hand stir to bring the dough together about 30 seconds. I let sit for about 10 minutes then mix. I add the oil at this time of start of the KA mix.
this is the mix I am using
Flour 100%
Water 62% or 58 or 56%
salt 1.75%
sugar 1.75%
oil 1.75%
What indicators will tell me that I am mixing at at too low of hydration? both at the mix stage and at the opening stage?

As valuable as weights, numbers , scales and formulas may be, in the end the best tools you own are your hands and eyes, they will tell you when a dough is right. Don't try to fit everything into exact measurements, flours vary, adjust accordingly.

In the U.S., for the type of dough you are trying to make, the range of hydration values can be from about 50% to about 65%. Perhaps more typical is a hydration value in the middle of the above range. The actual hydration value will depend on the type of flour used and whether there are any other ingredients, like oil, that will also have a wetting effect on the dough. The quality of the flour and, more specifically, its ability to retain water, will also be a major factor in the hydration value to use.
The way that Tom Lehmann often instructs users in how to determine how much water to use is to start out with a specific amount of flour and gradually add water until the dough becomes sticky. Once you see that the dough has become sticky, you note the amount of water that produced that stickiness and calculate the hydration value. Going forward, you would then back off that hydration value by about a couple percent. If you are using oil in the dough also, you might also subtract the percent of oil from the final hydration value.
If it turns out that your final hydration value is considerably below the rated absorption value for the flour being tested, then that might be taken as an indication of a problem with the flour, such as excessive starch damage, or possibly some other defect in the flour.

I think that was good advice.
I have my Panama flour and I have some Pillsbury bread flour. and i have some bromide bread flour with a sams club label on it. no there is not a sams club in panama.
I started at 55% mixed 5 minutes than add 2 % water and mixed another 2 minutes after each water addition.
panama flour good feel at 55% good feel at 57% a little sticky at 59% sticky at 61% very sticky at 63%. the bromide bred flour very similar.
Pillsbury flour feels to stiff at 55%, feels better at 57%, feels good at 59 and 61 but getting a little sticky at 63% and sticky at 65%
Tomorrow i will make Pizza from dough I mixed today. mixed at 57% for the panama flour and 61% for the pillsbury bread flour

I had watched Alton Brown show on Pizza. He mix his dough in a KA on medium speed for 15 minutes. That is far longer and more speed than I have ever used before. I started with ice cold water I hand stirred to combine set in the refrigerator for 15 min then mixed for 15 minutes. both doughs were beautiful. both easily past a window pane test.
my dough tears in the past I knew it was under mixed but I thought that was ok when cold fermenting
Today formed by hand it was very easy.
i lost track of the two flours when cooking and forming but I could not tell the difference

There is no need to mix and knead the dough such that it can pass the windowpane test. This is a matter that has been discussed many times before on the forum. See, for example, Reply 1 at

Tom did do the test you talked about on a you tube video.
What harm can the mixing do as alton described? The dough worked very well but I understand I may be on the edge?
I much preferred what I ended up with as compared to what I have been mixing.
I will mix today and apply tom's test

I mixed dough to pass the test that Tom advocates. I have mixed more dough as Alton suggests, 15 minutes at medium speed in a KA mixer.
The overwork dough is very easy to ball and open into a skin but I have cooked 3 times that way and the center of the pizza crust in not as good as the under worked dough.
I think that toms test is very good at determining where you are in the mixing cycle because I know by the difficulty I have had the past forming ball just after mixing. I was under mixing but I have a new way, for me, to deal with this situation.
Again, I am mixing one dough ball at a time for now. after under mixing I put into a ziplock bag with a little spray. and from into a kind of ball. After a day in the cooler I re ball and from beautiful balls and place in oiled plastic containers to be used later. The dough forms great and the crust tasted great.

I have noticed in my trials and tribulations in dough mixing up to this point in my, still very green, endeavors...
That re-balling has had the single most dramatic effect on the end results of my dough...and that is whether it's an undermixed or overmixed (within reason) dough.

A interesting way to make pizza.
I just tried under mixing to an extreme and make one of the best tasting crust to date.
The recipe
100 % 12 oz panama hard flour
80 % 9.6 oz water tap water
1.75% salt
!.75 % sugar
1/2 tsp IDY but slightly less
Mixed in large glass bowl about 6am, water, sugar, salt and IDY until dissolved less then minute with a spoon
I added the flour mixed maybe a minute covered let sit on the counter for 5 hours then took a wet spatula de gassed and folded for a minute. I repeated this every 2 hours until 10 at night. I place in the cooler for the night. the gluten development was very good at that point but the next morning. wow!
At 10 AM I oiled a 16 dark pan and dumped the dough into the pan and spent 30 seconds forming with my fingertips. I left on the counter till about noon. It was near formed on its own but in less then a minute I finished forming and de gassing with my fingertips.
The dough very evenly spread but was very soft. I loaded like a deep dish Pizza. cheese meats and sauce on top.
I put the pan on the deck for 15 minutes with the pan coved. (my $1000 counter top deck oven also heats from the top and will finish the top in 8 to 10 minutes minutes so the bottom need to be direct on the stone to finish at the same time and the oven needs to be at 550. I get a well cook deck pizza but any delay in finishing the bottom like in a pan I have to cover the top}
I cooked at 500, 15 minutes covered and 10 minutes uncovered. crust was 1/4 thick yes fried on the bottom yet very tender inside and well cooked and very easy with no flour mess or taste. no real mixing. mostly time.
Very interesting and very good.
My girlfriend thought the best taste to date and the least mess to date. She love it!
No mixer and no dough press needed and no real forming.

Why a popular new diet trend could backfire on you.
So-called �intermittent fasting��alternating fast days with days of normal eating�may be the latest fad in the weight loss world. But recent studies linking your brain chemistry with your ability to attain and maintain a healthy weight suggest that fasting could actually sabotage your efforts. The results of a 2011 study out of the University of Illinois suggest that beginning a diet with a fast can trigger the brain to counteract your weight loss attempts�perhaps by affecting mood and motivation. �It�s hard to work against your own brain,� says study author Dr. Gregory Freund, noting that beginning a fast or a very low calorie diet may make your brain feel like it�s going into withdrawal. So it�s not just a lack of will power that�s getting in your way. When you put yourself on a very low calorie diet, your body interprets that as a starvation state, explains registered dietitian Constance Brown-Riggs, national spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Then your metabolism slows, as a protective measure. RELATED: Diet Review: The Fast Diet Here are some other tips to help get your brain on board when it comes to weight loss: Take a dual-pronged approach. �Our research suggests that focusing on both physical activity and dietary habits and goals together can be a good thing,� says Dr. Abby C. King, director of the Healthy Aging Research & Technology Solutions laboratory at the Stanford Prevention Research Center. Her research team found that people who tried to eat better and exercise made slower progress, but were eventually the most successful at meeting the diet and exercise goals. Set small, reasonable goals. Setting unrealistic goals can set you up for failure. It�s easy to get discouraged if you set a really challenging goal�and then fail. It�s also easy to just give up entirely. �Small changes are the building blocks, and they make a difference,� says Brown-Riggs. Additionally, if you�re making only small changes to your diet, you may even avoid the starvation state phenomenon. RELATED: 8 Ways to Supercharge Your Diet Be aware of negative thoughts. It can be very easy to talk yourself out of doing something that�s good for you because you�re feeling a little discouraged. �Every time you have a negative thought, you need to replace it with a positive thought,� says Brown-Riggs. Acknowledge that life happens. �Set-backs will inevitably occur along the way,� King says. �How we plan for and handle the bumps in the road that life throws us can affect how successful we are in the long run.� Find what works for you. Your best friend may have dropped 25 pounds on some popular diet, and your neighbor went from plodding slowly around the cul-de-sac to running half-marathons. But you need to figure out what your body needs. �It is more gradual changes that work best,� says Brown-Riggs. �And it is going to be different for everyone.� Brought to you by: Spry Living

Learn about the Virtual Student Foreign Service, an initiative launched by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to allow a rising generation of citizen diplomats to conduct digital diplomacy.
The Virtual Student Foreign Service (VSFS), announced by Secretary Clinton at the 2009 New York University commencement speech, is part of a growing effort by the State Department to harness technology and a commitment to global service among young people to facilitate new forms of diplomatic engagement.
Over the summer, the U.S. Department of State partnered 37 U.S. diplomatic missions and associated projects with 44 current or former interns who are now students attending universities throughout the United States. The VSFS projects these diplomatic missions and students will be working on in 2009-2010 include assisting in the development of the Iraq National Museum website; helping to teach the English language and American culture through social media outreach; environmental and conservation curriculum planning; and researching and promoting gender equality.
Students who are interested in following or contributing to these and other projects can join the Virtual Student Foreign Service Facebook community.
By combining the talents of young people across America and the right technology, we can forge the solutions that our century demands.
David in Texas writes:
This will be a great program. The sooner we can get our university students involved in foreign affairs and in making contacts with citizens of other countires, the sooner we can work toward mutuial respect and cooperation.
Secretary Clinton is a very fine representative of the American People.
Pamela Ann in New York writes:
The United States needs to start being more friendly towards countries we have turned our backs on, as we are not necessarily always right either.
China and Russia are our friends and now it is time to accept Cuba. We cannot continue to force Democracy down other countries throats and we do not like it when other countries try to do the same to us regarding their ideas of what is a better form of government.
Clearing up our reputation with other countries will make us more a friend to everyone, no matter what their ideas for a perfect government. Democracy is not perfect, as not every government as its pros and cons when it comes to its idealism. Working together as a world of nations is the answer I believe to accepting others right to their opinion and idealism.
