Before leaving the office to visit a homebound patient, Dr. Tony Ohotto gathered a few necessities: his stethoscope, medical notes, and a pair of well-worn bicycling shoes.
Dark clouds threatened rain, so Ohotto packed a rain slicker before hopping on his 10-speed. Kevin Callahan, a certified occupational therapy assistant, joined him for a 15-minute ride to their patient's home, a residential care facility in Southeast Portland. (read article at OregonLive.com)

I first want to say I am sorry 4 my english writting skills... They are quite inexistant:) But I really loved this episode and I can't understand how people can't like it!! It 's such a good critic about how democratie doesn't work that well, and about how it doesn't accept any critics on this fonctionnement!! I always loved Stan but now I like more than ever what he is representating : A young boy able to think diferently from the others and to not accept what seems unacceptable to him...
And I loved the animals eating the PETA people:) This was also awesome how SP can show in such a clear and funny way how absurd humans being can be!!

Unfortunately, this is one of the few where I actually DON'T like Kyle...very rare. So this episode gets a 7.3/10, it would've been an eight but...I mean, seriously, Kyle stoops down to Cartman's level. Not cool.
Re: *808* Douche and Turd
So frikkin' retarded! The town willfully bans Stan? His parents and friends are okay with this? As he would say 'this is pretty f*cked up right here.'
Sharon throwing the bowl at Randy!!! Didn't see that coming!
The whole PETA thing was so funny. The man who married an llama then hinted at Stan this younger one was ovulating. But so sad and shocking how Stan was friggin' shot in the shoulder!
Yeah, great episode. 10/10
I ship: Stan/Cartman <3
Stan: MMOOMM!!
Sharon: What is it honey? (gasp!) My baby's killed again!
Haa, I love that line.

Julia Tubman, conservator, British Museum
In November 2007, during a routine archaeological excavation in advance of building work in Beau Street, Bath (a stone's throw from the famous Roman Baths themselves), archaeologists came upon what was clearly a very large number of coins contained within a cist (a stone-lined box). Upon further excavation, they quickly came to realise they were looking at one of the largest coin hoards found in the UK, representing quite a tumultuous time in Roman Britain – about AD 270.
When groups of coins that appear to be over 300 years old are found, they must be reported to the local coroner (according to the Treasure Act 1996). The coins enter what we call the 'Treasure Process' where, if necessary for identification, they will be cleaned in preparation for their formal declaration as Treasure and the property of the Crown, or eventual valuation. Usually this occurs at the British Museum, or in the case of Welsh Treasure cases, the National Museum of Wales.
In order to preserve its shape and context, the archaeologists cut around the hoard and lifted it in a soil block. As a metals conservator at the British Museum, my job is to excavate the coins from the soil and clean them up. The initial excavation should take about six weeks and during that time I will be regularly adding to this blog with updates of my work as it progresses. Colleagues from curatorial departments and our science team who are involved with the project will also contribute as the hoard gradually reveals its story.
The coins are currently held together by soil and metallic corrosion. They are blue and green in colour indicating the corrosion of a copper metal, which would have been used as a base alloy for the coins. Interestingly, within this copper corrosion is actually a layer of silver that was plated over the copper during the manufacture of the coins.
The coins have also maintained the shape of the cist they were contained within, as the soil and corrosion has concreted together. Looking more closely, we can even see that there are groups of coins within the hoard; which is because this large hoard appears to be composed of six individual smaller hoards.
We had an idea that this could be the case because in December last year Dr. Mavrogordato, from the Imaging Centre in the University of Southampton's Department of Engineering Sciences, kindly took x-rays of the block. The resulting images show what look to be 'bags' of coins. We don't know whether the bags themselves have survived (they could have been made of an organic material such as textile or leather), but the corroded coins have kept the shape of their containers and I will be looking for evidence of them.
As my job will involve excavating the hoard, knowing that there are individual bags of coins gives me a very good starting point as it means I can deconstruct the soil block bag by bag. It will be very interesting to see if the coins were bagged together for a particular reason; for example, if they were grouped by emperor or denomination.
I've cleaned a few loose coins already and, after stripping away the copper corrosion, I've found some very impressive silver surfaces (nicer than we had previously hoped!) Given the large number of coins in the soil block, I'm hoping to be able to clean as many coins as possible using chemicals such as formic acid, rather than by hand using a scalpel. I have 18 months to complete this project, so time is of the essence.
Initial estimates put the number of coins at around 30,000. After having excavated the block a little since then, guesses about the maximum number of coins in the hoard have decreased and estimates vary between everyone looking at it. Readers of the blog are welcome to suggest their own figures – I say no more than 22,000 coins, what do you think?
Removing the tough shell of the copper corrosion layer is important not just to find shiny surfaces but also to find the detail on the coins needed for identification by my colleagues in the Coins and Medals department, Eleanor Ghey and Richard Abdy (who will be blogging about the significance of the find next week). At this early stage in the project, I'm only cleaning the coins so that they can be identified: I'm not cleaning them for display, by completely removing all the corrosion or soil; that would require more time.
When looking at Roman coins, specialists will be hoping to identify features on the 'obverse' (side bearing the bust of an emperor or an important relative) and the 'reverse' (side bearing representations of deities, animals, and other important Roman symbols). The subjects depicted on Roman coins varied according to emperor and coins of more than one emperor could be in circulation at any given time. On both sides, revealing enough of the 'legend' (the writing around the edge of the coin) is important, especially where the figure in the centre is very corroded or worn. Eleanor and Richard will also be looking closely for any mint marks on the coins (usually on the reverse) which indicate where in the empire the coin was struck, so I'll have to be very careful when cleaning to reveal as much detail as possible.
Coins identified thus far have shown a real mix of the many Roman emperors of the third century AD (it was such a politically unstable time that many of them only got to reign a few years): Septimius Severus (AD 193-211), Gordian III (AD 238-249), Philip I (AD 244-249), Decius (AD 249-251), Trebonianus Gallus (AD 251-253), Aemilian (AD 253), Valerian I (AD 253-260), Gallienus (AD 253-268) and Postumus (AD 260- 268).
The Roman Baths Museum hopes to purchase the hoard and eventually display it to the public. It's fantastic to know where the hoard might ultimately end up, and I'm working closely with curator Stephen Clews at the Roman Baths.

Then there is the time, on my way to work, I stepped down the stairs of my front door, got to the bottom stair and broke my right ankle. It snapped like a twig. I heard it. As I fell I hit my left knee on the pavement and dislocated it. I landed sitting upright in a pile of snow. Stunned, I sat there for a minute waiting for someone to see me as they drove by down the street. Or perhaps my neighbors would see me coming out of their house and going to work. I sat there freezing and realized I had to get up and get inside before pain and shock sat in. Nothing was happening so I knew I was on my own. I don't know how but I struggled up those steep stairs and walked across my living room to my wall phone and called my friend for help. Somehow I managed to minimize what was happening to me and my friend did not get it that it was an emergency. She said she would be over in a little while. I hung up that receiver and the pain hit me like someone smacking me across the head with a two by four. I started to cry. I sat down in a chair, rested my ankle on another chair and called another friend who said she would be right over. This friend ask me if I had any ice packs. When I told her no, she yelled into the phone as she hung up,"Put a bag of peas on it. I"ll be right there." Now I am really in trouble because I am trying to figure out why my friend wants me to put peas on my broken ankle. I am absolutely sure that she doesn't have all her oars in the water when she arrives and reaches in my freezer and pulls out a frozen bag of something and slaps it on my ankle. Now I understand. My first friend saunters in and realizes in horror her mistake. Now I have two people standing over me wanting to call an ambulance. I keep rubbing my left knee and saying that it burns. Little did I know that that burning feeling was my knee bleeding on the inside. Had I have known that I think I would have gone in an ambulance. When I heard that word "ambulance" I was absolutely sure that I was getting in someone's car and going to the clinic. I argued that the last thing I needed was an ambulance screaming down the street, stopping with lights flashing, and giving all the neighbors something to talk about for the next few days. I won. I can't tell you how I got to that car. I don't remember much. The next thing I do remember is pulling up to the emergency side of the clinic, At that time it was the old clinic and the emergency door was on the east side. Remember?
The nurse comes to the door, unlocks it and walks away. Leaving Judy and I to fend for ourselves. Judy is appalled by the action and goes inside to hunt up a wheel chair and some help. She comes back with a nurse in tow and a wheel chair and she shoves it up to the car and the nurse says,"Oh, I didn't know you were that hurt." I thought Judy was gonna hit her. The next little while is spent with Doctor and x-rays etc. and etc. and that is when I find out that my left knee cap is dislocated and a whole bunch of ligaments torn in it. Judy disappears and the next time I see her, I am laying on a table with a brace on my left leg from my hip to my ankle and a brand new cast on my right ankle. My head is hanging over the end of the table and the blood is rushing to it. I'm all alone and have been for some time. I am feeling pretty vulnerable and I say to her,"well, here is another fine mess I've gotten myself into." I start to laugh. It was better than crying. I couldn't get off the table by myself. My friend is absolutely livid with rage as she sees the condition I was left in and she goes to hunt up a pillow to put under my head. I don't know what I would have done without her that day. They must have been short handed that day at the clinic.
Now I arrived at the clinic under my own power so it stands to reason I have to get home under my own power. Well, that was a joke. Question: How does a person with a brace on her left leg from her hip to her ankle, unable to bend that left leg, a cast on her right ankle and foot, using a pair of crutches, get into a two door car? .......Answer: Verrry carefully! After trying several different approaches I end up laying on my back in the front seat with my left leg with the brace on it on the floor and my right ankle with the cast on it, dangling out the open window. What a sight to behold. All I had to do was tie a red flag on it.
We arrive at my house and then the fun really begins. Starting with getting out of that car. You talk about laugh. Never having ever used crutches before, I had no idea how to use them. By the time I get to my front steps I am absolutely exhausted. I couldn't have walked up those steps if my life had depended upon it. I ended up sitting on the steps and lifting my body up those stairs one step at a time. Dragging my painful legs in front of me. By the time I got to the top of the porch, I could not pull my self over the threshold and into my house. Over to my house comes my neighbor, Gail, who has been watching the fiasco unfold in front of her eyes. Between her and Judy, we get me over the threshold , into my living room, only for me to discover that now I am on the floor and I have to get up some how or other. Either that or spend the next eight weeks on the floor. Exhausted and ready to give up, my well meaning neighbor says to me,"Oh you poor thing!" That did it. When I heard those words, a switch turned on in my head. No one was going to feel sorry for me. I grit my teeth and turned over and pulled myself to my feet and into a chair. I didn't even have time to think about it. From then on I had no place to go but up. With the tender loving care of my twelve year old son and good,good friends and neighbors. I will always be grateful to that neighbor who felt sorry for me that day and voiced her opinion and to my friend Judy who helped me through a most difficult time in life. She was able to keep me laughing. Well, that's my world. Until next time remember: "Laughter is the best medicine."

Castle Dale City Council meeting, held on April 20, began with a public hearing concerning the annexation plan for the city. Mayor Neal Peacock explained, "We are requesting public comment on this plan during this hearing. We want no misconceptions about this plan, we are not annexing any property with this plan. This plan was mandated by the State of Utah and it encompasses the land that surrounds Castle Dale City, that may sometime in the future, be annexed into the city limits.
"The regulations for annexation will remain the same, property owners must be notified and accept the proposals for annexation. Our ordinances do not allow for islands of property to be created in outlying areas. There can be no cherry-stemming either," said Mayor Peacock.
Several questions were asked and answered, but no comments came from the public, either for or against. During the regular city council meeting, the council approved to adopt the ordinance and approved the map for the annexation policy.
That annexation policy was then put to use as the council opened a second public hearing to annex a one half acre parcel owned by William and May Jorgensen. This one half acre is adjacent to current city limits and all utilities services are available on the property. A residence is proposed to be built, and the council took comments and questions concerning the annexation.
One question was about the owners intentions to continue to sell more pieces of property and may, in the future request other parcels for annexation. Mayor Peacock assured the public that the land owner has no intention of selling any more building lots. Following the closure of the public hearing on this issue, the council tabled the decision on the annexation until the May meeting.
Barbara Moore and Cathy Sitterud, representing the American Cancer Society, spoke about the Relay for Life which is scheduled for July 8-9. The council agreed to have a team and donated $250. Council person Kollette Cologie was appointed to head up Castle Dale's team.
The Castle Dale City Council heard from Lois Madsen and Mark H Williams concerning the ordinance the city has in place for ATVs on city streets. It was pointed out that the city does not have allowances for residents to access the open routes in the city from their homes.
Madsen stated that when the county opens designated trails and roads, she will be required to trailer her ATV one half block to access an open route in the city. "We acted in good faith on a request by the county to make this ordinance. If our ordinance is inadequate when the county plan is finalized, we will revisit it," said Mayor Peacock.
The council approved a request from Kerry Lake, planning and zoning administrator, to hold a public hearing about some changes that are necessary. The changes will be in the section of the ordinance regarding signs for businesses. These changes are necessary to comply with state statutes.
A street festival, "Black Top Knights" will be held in Castle Dale on May 27 from 6 p.m.-midnight. Tyrell Jewkes was requesting advertising for the event. There will be food, dancing, entertainment and games.
Councilman Jack Rogers announced that the repairs have been completed at the Mammoth Canal headgate and the secondary water system should be turned on in the next few days. With the new screens in place, the system should work more smoothly this year. The council decided that yard watering by residents should be done between the hours of 5 p.m. and 10 a.m. The residents will be encouraged not to water between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., and no watering on Sunday to allow the pond to refill.
City fire chief Richard Herring reported that the burn season has been good, and there have been no problems. He also reported that the fire department has received a grant to purchase computers and other electronic equipment that is needed. They have also applied for another grant to purchase some needed equipment, and will know soon if they were successful.
Councilman Brad Giles informed the council that the improvement projects that were submitted last year have to be cut back due to the rising construction costs. The actual costs this year are much higher than the engineers estimates from last year. The council must find more funding or cut back the projects.
City clerk Carolyn Jorgensen expressed her appreciation to Councilman Joel Dorsch for his assistance with the installation of the computer equipment in the city offices. Mayor Peacock also expressed his appreciation for the work Dorsch did in making the Easter egg hunt and the high school rodeo successful.
The next Castle Dale City Council meeting is May 12 at 7 p.m. at city hall.

For a PSP game, Dead Head Fred is a pretty good looking game with a lot of combats and different heads to choose from. However, the game falls short as some of the objects get lost in the small screen.
Lowly Worm
Sony PSP
Dead Head Fred is a huge game, quite ambitious that can place the gamer in the role of a PI who has fallen on the deep end. The gamer as the PI crosses path with a really bad guy who beheads Fred. Of course, as the title implies, this is not the end of the story, it is just the beginning.
The gamer as Dead Head Fred is then given some powers like getting brand new heads which can be used depending on the skills or abilities needed throughout the game. The whole idea is wacky and should have been the beginning of a great adventure but the level of design from the developers end cut off the head of an otherwise wacky game.
The gameplay focuses on a lot of heads being swapped left and right. The gamer begins the game with a jar which contains a brain which can be worn around the neck. But then again, the player gets to have a tiki head, a head of a corpse, a dummy head of a mannequin and other wacky head gears. Each head has its own skills so one head has to be quickly swapped to meet the challenges of an opponent.
All around the head gets swapped throughout the boss fights and other missions. Some of the combats involve enemies which can come together and gang up on the player which could quickly drain the health of the character. Although the character depends a lot on the special attacks, because of the difficulties set against it the skills from the different heads are left untapped.
The camera control is poor; this is an understatement but true nonetheless. The key details get disrupted which can affect how the game is controlled so what should have been an easy task to do gets ruined because the camera covered the controls.
For a PSP game, Dead Head Fred is a pretty good looking game with a lot of combats and different heads to choose from. However, the game falls short as some of the objects get lost in the small screen. The audio is not great either but there is some interesting music to be heard. As a whole the script could have been a little better for there are inconsistencies and ends up sounding like a poorly edited audio track.
Dead Head Fred should have been a great game but only came up short no thanks to the developers who messed up. Otherwise, if the gamer is heroic enough to get past the frustrations, it is quite an enjoyable game. Definitely not perfect, but a fun game it still is.

A 61st minute PK off the foot of Lindsey Poulson gave the University of Hawaii at Hilo women's soccer team a 1-0 lead they would not relinquish. The Vulcans packed the defensive area and blasted kicks away to preserve the win over Dixie State at Hansen Stadium.
The loss drops the Red Storm to 4-4-2 on the year and 4-2-1 in the PacWest.
Dixie State had their chances, including a penalty shot in the 16th minute. Kaisa Goodman (Springville, UT/Springville) took the kick toward the right side, but UH Hilo (5-3-1/2-3 PacWest) keeper Jenna Hufford made one of her four saves to keep the match scoreless.
Poulson converted her PK just past the outstretched hands of Stacie Gubler (Las Vegas, NV/Palo Verde) to break the scoreless stalemate.
Dixie State outshot the Vulcans 10-5, but only a 68th minute header from Ashley Wade (Saint George, UT/Pine View) came close to the net. Goodman paced DSU with three shots while Jennifer Mason (Springville, UT/Springville) and Aarika Andersen (Bountiful, UT/Woods Cross) each had two.
The Red Storm heads to the Bay Area for a match next Saturday at Holy Names. DSU will also play Academy of Art on the road swing before returning home on Oct. 19 for its next home match against Azusa Pacific.

Drogueria Betances increases sales and reduces stock levels
To serve over 800 independent pharmacies and numerous chain-store pharmacies in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, pharma wholesaler Drogueria Betances turned to IBS ERP software
Sales volumes have increased by 2% and inventory levels have reduced by 10% after implementation of IBS pharmaceutical ERP software according Juan Hernandez.
It all started in 1962 when Luis Cartagena founded Drogueria Betances (DB). Located in Caguas, Puerto Rico, this was a logical progression from a small pharmaceutical warehouse operation, which Luis's father had been running for many years.
In 1962 DB consisted of a 3,000 square foot storage/office site. Today at 80,000 square feet, DB's physical plant is over 25 times larger and the work force is 160 strong. The product range has expanded from pure pharmaceuticals, and now includes a full range of health and beauty items – over 17,000 items in stock. DB is a one-stop-shop, offering a fast and reliable service to its 900 customers.
Due to DB's growth, previous software that was purchased to overcome expansion problems soon became obsolete. "The difficulty was that our business was growing so fast we needed a permanent solution, rather than a series of temporary solutions to this problem,'' explains Juan Hernandez, General Manager, Drogueria Betances. Purchase and sales contracting, automated warehouse picking, inventory management, product tracking, invoicing and credit control: all of these functions had to be under one roof – and within one totally integrated pharmaceutical distribution solution.
The search for an all-embracing answer to DB's business problems started. After considering a number of options, the company finally decided that IBS pharmaceutical supply chain software running on the IBM System i platform and DB2 Database was the best fit for its business.
Faster picking with RF
Many significant benefits became immediately available and obvious. A prime example is where the IBS Warehouse Management software has managed warehouse space so efficiently that DB found it was able to consolidate two warehouses into one unit. This move has also meant that fewer employees are needed and the warehouse is more efficient. Another benefit can be found in the stock picking area. In the past, a picking slip was printed out in the warehouse office and taken by an employee who had to find the listed items among the 17,000 available. Now that same employee armed with a Radio Frequency (RF) device has the pick list downloaded to a hand-held unit and can rapidly select the ordered items, each one bar-coded from stock.
An employee can also automatically select the items that have been in stock the longest and, in the case of pharmaceuticals, those with the nearest expiry date - a life-saving necessity. When the selection process is complete, the order details are passed back through the system for dispatch note production and invoicing. ''We are very impressed with IBS software because the time taken to pick goods has been significantly reduced in this operation alone and time is money,'' adds Hernandez.
Integrated e-business software
The picking process is only one component of the integrated package that DB purchased. The wholesaler has also installed IBS NetStore, which is a powerful e-business tool that connects directly to the company's supply chain and is integrated with the rest of the software. Customers can place inquiries to DB's stock file from their own desktops and can then place and even track orders directly with the IBS pharmaceutical system. IBS NetStore will accept the order, check the credit worthiness of the customer and pass the order details to the RF device in the warehouse. When the items are dispatched, an invoice is generated and the information is used to form part of the integrated IBS financial system.
In the old days, orders came into DB at a rate of 75/100 per month. "With IBS NetStore in place our order rate has gradually risen to 250 per day – a massive growth rate,'' explains Hernandez. This is attributed not only to increased efficiency by DB, but because customers are attracted by the online ordering capabilities of IBS NetStore. When DB was using its old software, the company needed ten staff to process orders as well as satisfy the numerous queries from customers. "Because IBS NetStore is so much more efficient we have been able to move eight staff to other departments," adds Hernandez.
Real value
DB is extremely pleased with its decision to implement IBS pharmaceutical ERP software because the company can see real value in the business. While sales continue to grow, overheads have not increased. "Eight months after the implementation of IBS Enterprise, our sales volume has increased by over two percent," explains Hernandez. The provision of reliable, statistical information relating to the reordering levels and input of realistic lead-times has enabled DB to reduce inventory levels by ten percent. This reduction has enabled the company to use capital for further expansion. "After installing IBS Enterprise, we expect our return on investment to be realized in less than twenty months," says Hernandez.
IBS Enterprise pharmaceutical software makes everyone a winner. The end-user receives better service, the supplier improves efficiency and cash flow while increasing profit, and IBS has yet another satisfied customer.

The Glycemic Index
The Glycemic Index
By David Mendosa
The glycemic index ranks foods on how they affect our blood sugar levels. This index measures how much your blood sugar increases after you eat.
When you make use of the glycemic index to prepare healthy meals, it helps to keep your blood sugar levels under control. This is especially important for people with diabetes, although athletes and people who are overweight also stand to benefit from knowing about this relatively new concept in good nutrition.
Studies of large numbers of people with diabetes show that those who keep their blood sugar under tight control best avoid the complications that this disease can lead to. The experts agree that what works best for people with diabetes and probably everyone is regular exercise, little saturated and trans fat, and a high-fiber diet. That is excellent advice as far as it goes.
The real problem is carbohydrates, and that's what the glycemic index is all about. Foods high in fat or protein dont cause your blood sugar level to rise much.
The official consensus remains that a high-carbohydrate diet is best for people with diabetes. However, some experts recommend a low-carbohydrate diet, because carbohydrates break down quickly during digestion and can raise blood sugar to dangerous levels. A low-glycemic diet avoids both extremes.
Many carbohydrate-rich foods have high glycemic indexes, and certainly are not good in any substantial quantity for people with diabetes. Other carbohydrates break down more slowly, releasing glucose gradually into our blood streams and are said to have lower glycemic indexes.
The really shocking results of G.I. studies are in which foods produce the highest glycemic response. They include many of the starchy foods we eat a lot of, including most bread, most breakfast cereals, and baked potatoes. But table sugar long believed to be the worst thing for people with diabetes isnt as high on the index.
Low glycemic foods include beans, barley, pasta, oats, and some types of rice. Acidic fruits have low glycemic indexes. Likewise, vinegar and lemon juice as in salad dressing help reduce the glycemic load.
A lot of people still think that it is plain table sugar that people with diabetes need to avoid. The experts used to say that, but the glycemic index shows that starchy complex carbohydrates, like baked potatoes, can be even worse.
Before the development of the glycemic index beginning in 1981, scientists assumed that our bodies absorbed and digested simple sugars quickly, producing rapid increases in our blood sugar level. This was the basis of the advice to avoid sugar, a proscription recently relaxed by the American Diabetes Association and others.
Many of the glycemic index results have been surprises. For example, baked potatoes have a glycemic index considerably higher than that of table sugar.
A more pleasant surprise is the very low glycemic index of a tasty bean called chana dal. Another pleasant surprise is pearled barley, which has the lowest glycemic index of any grain.
Other Important Diet Considerations
The glycemic index should not be your only criterion when selecting what to eat. The total amount of carbohydrate, the amount and type of fat, and the fiber and salt content are also important dietary considerations. The glycemic index is most useful when deciding which high-carbohydrate foods to eat. But dont let the glycemic index lull you into eating more carbohydrates than your body can handle. The number of grams of carbohydrate we consume is awfully important. Make sure you know the carbohydrate content of the foods you eat by studying the nutritional information on the package.
Factors such as variety, cooking, and processing may effect a foods GI. Foods particularly sensitive to these factors include bananas, rice, and potatoes.
In addition, the glucose response to a particular food may be somewhat individual. So it is probably a good idea to carefully watch your own blood sugar after eating foods you have questions about and determine if they have high or low GI for you. If you find a specific food produces an unexpected result, either high or low, take note of it and incorporate that into your meal planning. Also note that the numbers vary from study to study. This may be due to variations in the individuals in a particular study, other foods consumed at the same time, or different methods of preparation, since your body can absorb some foods better when they are well cooked.
Free Foods
Most of the foods tested are high in carbohydrates. Some may wonder at the gaps why other high-carbohydrate low-calorie foods like celery (or tomatoes or similar foods) have never been tested. The problem is a technical one for the testers, because they would be so hard put to get anyone to volunteer to eat 50 grams of carbohydrate from celery its just too much celery to think about! Essentially, from a glycemic index standpoint, celery and foods like it can be considered as free foods. I now have a list of the common free foods on-line at http://www.mendosa.com/freefoods.htm.
Mixed Meals
Some people wonder if the glycemic index can predict the effect of a mix meal containing foods with very different indexes. Studies have shown that it does that job very well, too.
You can quite readily predict the glycemic index of a mixed meal. Simply multiply the percent of total carbohydrate of each of the foods by its glycemic index and add up the results to get the glycemic index of the meal as a whole.
750 Foods
At the time of this writing, scientists have so far measured the glycemic indexes of about 750 high-carbohydrate foods (they are continually testing new foods). The key is to eat little of those foods with a high glycemic index and more of those foods with a low index.

"I worry that Daniel Thatcher just doesn't get it. These victims have endured a terrible sexual assault, and then had to submit themselves to an incredibly invasive process and exam. The legislature's job is not to prioritize these cases, and these victims. All sexual assault kits have evidentiary value, because all sexual assault victims have value. In this modern age of DNA testing and crime evidence, Utahns deserve more and better representation."
Thatcher's comments begin at ~2:07:00 of the recording, a transcript of the quote follows:
Thatcher: Thank you Mr. Chair. Evidently I need some clarification, it has been four months since session so maybe my memory is already fuzzy. I was under the impression that law enforcement had basically explained to us that if there is a kit with evidentiary value there is absolutely no reason that they would not have sent that kit foreword. That what is being called a backlog is, in fact, kits that for whatever reason, -whether it's not having a strong case, whether it's the accused admitting to the facts that would be established by the kit ,and it's only a question of consent - or, for whatever reason, that this isn't so much a backlog of valid, valuable evidence, as kits that were collected but not necessarily needed. Did I misunderstand that, has the situation changed?
Presenter: I think that is accurate in your understanding but I think what law enforcement is doing, and we have Detective Boardman up here to talk about that too, and I appreciate his comments, but what I think law enforcement is doing is evaluating those untested kits. Going back taking a look, just to see. At least some of the agencies are deciding whether or not, maybe…I don't want to say something the slipped through the cracks or not, but maybe something did. Or maybe in an attempt to link some cases together, maybe they will be submitting those to the laboratory.
Thatcher: Okay well I just want to reiterate to this committee and to any public that is listening the very same commitment I made as the chair of the appropriations committee for criminal justice. I don't want to spend limited valuable resources for an issue that is merely perception. But I will tell you right now, if there is a single kit with evidentiary value that is not being processed, that is absolutely completely unacceptable and there is no excuse for that not being funded. If that is the case, we will fix it. We need to know is this a legitimate backlog of evidence, or is it simply we are trying to put a perception of doing more because this is such an emotional issue?

Miki is a shitty character. He needs to get finished off quickly. There´s still 2 of the Rokkisei left. So that most likely means these first four were fodder material.
Yeah Miki needs as beating real bad.
''Brother running with a torch and not a damn thing you can do about it!''
Spoilers: from mangahelpers.com
From the spoiler pic, they say that the black haired guy with the glasses is the strongest member of the Rokkisei, his name is Izuma Kaname.
These last few chaps have been real good.
The Rokkisei are a tough group, but don't stand a chance against Ishiyama. Well that is until these new Top 2 members show up to fight. I bet they'll be against fighting though, and will be more strict.
Nice to see a female member as the second strongest Rokkisei, Kunieda will probably get a shot at her.
Wonder how this Izuna guy operates? If Oga's already fighting Miki, and by the looks of it their fight's going to be interrupted, who'll take on this guy.
Toujou definitely needs to take on someone though, he's up there with Oga as Ishiyama's strongest. Being 2nd to Oga definitely isn't a bad thing, considering the guy's practically a demon.
chapter 59 just got released http://mangahelpers.com/s/zambo-scans/details/83216
Toujou's gonna get some action now. But I think Toujou will be used to show off how strong exactly Inazuma is. And it will probably lead to Oga having to learn Martial Arts of Aoi Kunieda's grandfather.
What is the name of the manga the middle character is from, on the cover page?
Didn't check before I posted, but its not in english lol.

I have to admit, this has been a great chapter.
Thank goodness Griff was here to explain the nuances of Memory Manipulation Magic. Natsu going right after Mest was actually very plausible for him, only for once the bad guy he's after isn't so bad.
Caprico's jetpack with magical bubbles was both unique and useful if it allowed all those Grimoire Heart soldiers to land on the island unscathed. Kin are the real threat of course and I doubt the S Class hopefuls have too hard a time taking out these foot soldiers.
Hades actually being the former master of Fairy Tail is awesome. How he knew about Tenrou Island and how to reach it are now easily explainable. He's gotta be pretty up their in years too, but that was a good twist for sure. Grimoire Law combatting Fairy Law, talk about a meeting of two indestructible forces.
Grimoire's been heavily woven into Fairy Tail's existence, which means them being knocked out in a single arc is highly unlikely. Now I wanna see just who raised a better guild between the Fairy Tail masters.
Wow that was pure drama in Markarovs eyes on the final pic very beautiful , very nice twist and very very nice chapter (but i dont like the bubble jet pack -.-)
wow i know some one said it here so who ever called hades being a former guild master right on/ i agree he was in the guild but i would never guess mast how old is this guy? but yeah can not wait so see some fighting . we know how strong there fodder is so i hope gildartz. freid. and bixlow show up soon because i really think they need them in this fight. can not wait to see how hades is A that old and B how he went bad.
Dang so close I thought he got passed up as master for Makarov but not the 2nd master of Fairy Tail. Well its still awesome either way but he hast to be ancient to consider the old man a boy
I considered the possibility he was a former master but didnt think held be alive or a bad guy if that was the case.
Pandaman FOR PRESDIENT
5/5 Liking this twist now can't wait to see Hades back story now.
Hades being the 2nd master is awesome twist. Hades probably was looking for Zeref when he was in FT. If the first master was the one who defeated him/sealed him w/e the f*ck. Probably left it to Marakov once he got what he wanted or just couldn't do anything anymore.
Stop mentioning Gildratz,Fried and Bixlow coming back your killing they're entrance if they get one this arc. What you going say I called it? Join the line with everyone else.
PS: Proofread, fix your grimmer!
FM.. im disheartened man..
Shit, seems so much more awesome when mashima says it than me.. :-p
I think this sums up most of what i want to say, though.. --
I think i did good.. :-pAnyone think we will soon get flashbacks to when Makarov was younger? Might get to see the first or 2nd guild master then.. O.o
Although, more than likely theyd be related to makarov and hades.. For some reason i feel like this might not be the first time theyve fought.. Makes me wonder if Hades and makarov were friends/rivials when they were younger.. O.o
Itd be crazy if hades was an ex FT member and friends/rival with makarov younger.. Both potential guild masters, but hades wasnt chosen and ended up becoming evil and left... Or he was actually the 2nd master for a while and found out some information and left or was thought dead or some shit..(i doubt his actual name was hades.. wouldnt be surprised if he faked death and left and became hades) But those would explain why he knew where FT island was and how to get there plus where zeref was "sleeping."
Damnit, another crazy theory i thought up.. Theres gotta be some loopholes that i was careless about.. lol
Friggin great chapter.. Ultear's time reversal.. i wonder what restrictions are on it.. O.o
It's a side story, if you've read the whole Fairy Tail Manga from Chapter 1 you'll remember the Neko-mimi costume that Lucy's wearing ( and by the way, that's soo fucking sexy ).

We teach our children "Good Touch/Bad Touch." Now preteens in Milford, Conn. are learning "No Touch." Local news there reported this weekend that parents at the East Shore Middle School received a letter from Principal Catherine Williams, which said that any touching at all on school grounds — including "hugging" and "horseplay" — could result in "parent conferences, detention, suspension and/or a request for expulsion from school."
The catalyst for the policy — which the school insists has been on the books all along, but which parents and students say is certainly a stricter interpretation than ever before — was an incident earlier this month when a student required treatment in the emergency room after a kick to the groin.
While some parents say they are supportive, others are outraged at what they call an overly broad response to a real problem.
"As a parent, I just don't agree with it," Edward Abbazia, whose son Patrick is a 14-year-old eighth grader told the News-Times. "This is going to happen — they're going to touch each other. My son's going to physically touch his friend, you know, shake his hand or pat him on the back, and he's going to get detention and he knows it, but he's going to do it anyway…the high fives, the hugging."
In fact Patrick's parents gave him permission to protest the policy — by going to school on Friday with his arms taped to his sides at the elbows with bright blue duct tape.
Lenore Skenazy is the creator of the blog Free-Range Kids, where she tracks what she sees as the growing tendency of parents (and schools) to swathe children in bubble-wrap. This policy, she wrote yesterday, is the latest example of aiming an elephant gun at a flea.
You can understand the administration's frustration. A kid was seriously hurt by a kick to the groin — that's just awful. But why is the response to criminalize all physical contact? Why not criminalize, say, kicks to the groin?
What happened here seems to be the knee-jerk response to any problem these days: Overkill, just like when schools ban tag because a kid could trip, or cupcakes, because a kid could get fat.
For Liberty, For Freedom.

Love, love--so comfy
"This slip-on was exactly what I was looking for for going on walks. Good tread and extra cushiony. I didn't notice from the picture that they are olive green (looked like taupe to me), but I couldn't care less because of the comfort. I do wish other colors were offered. Still, am thinking about buying an extra pair, as I always do with favorite shoes."

If you are in Tuscany go to Monte Argentario, more specifically to Porto Santo Stefano, it is the little town on the water I went to every single summer growing up, and is easily one of the most stunning places I have known. You have tons of wine routes that start from there that are amazing, and little farms that make their fresh Pecorino cheese!!
Not to mention that some secluded beaches are stunning, you can ask the information office in the town to give you a map of alll the secret beaches.
You wont regret this, let me know if you do and I will give you more tips!
xo C.

Gospel Reading
Document Actions
The Gospel according to John 11:47-54
At that time, the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council, and said, "What are we to do? For this man performs many signs. If we let him go on thus, every one will believe in him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our holy place and our nation." But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all; you do not understand that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation should not perish." He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus should die for the nation, and not for the nation only, but to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. So from that day on they took counsel how to put him to death.
Jesus therefore no longer went about openly among the Jews, but went from there to the country near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim; and there he stayed with the disciples.

Dowling's portraits masterfully depict the emotional turmoil of the subject, whatever the context, whether it involves the ongoing pain – personal and communal – of the Stolen Generations, or the reverse role of enforced servitude upon Indigenous women, as in The nurse maid (Biddy).
This is a painting from an original photograph by an unknown photographer. The subject is Biddy Brewon (possibly Brewan) who was the nursemaid for Mr and Mrs JS Gordon of Brewon Station in Walgett, New South Wales. The baby in the picture is John Kenneth Mackay Gordon, Biddy's infant charge.
I wanted to paint this image as a reflection on the way many Aboriginal women and girls were made to raise the children of colonial families. My great-grandmother, Mary Oliver, was a nursemaid to her own white half-brother and sisters from a very young age after being taken from her mother, my great-great-grandmother, Melbin.
I believe that the image of Biddy is iconic of the relationship between Aboriginal women and white Anglo-Saxon Australia. In the realm of Australian history, it is as if Aboriginal women writers, poets and other artists are acting almost as nursemaids to the creation of a manufactured Australian identity and psyche. However, the golden sun is symbolic of a ngupi (waterhole), which reflects on the deep metaphysical connection that Aboriginal women have to the land. Aboriginal women are meant to connect human beings to the power of mother earth.
In Australia there is a meritocracy that dominates Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal cross-cultural interactions. There is an assumption that a kind of equality is achievable if only Aboriginal people worked hard enough and disregard the ramifications of a violent, oppressive colonial past.

Coachella 2013: Record Store Day takes hold
Some exclusive titles at Zia Records' pop-up shop. Photo: Kelli Skye Fadroski, Orange County Register
Just because music fans were stuck in the middle of the desert for the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival this year doesn't mean they were unable to celebrate Record Store Day on Saturday. As at still-standing (and sometimes thriving) stores nationwide, including Fingerprints in Long Beach and Costa Mesa's Factory Records, there were long lines and mad dashes to the Zia Records tent here in Indio, where collectors snatched up rare reissues, limited editions, colored vinyl and exclusive EPs.
Zia, peddling plastic throughout the three-day fest, released several of the hundreds of RSD-only titles, including a few Coachella exclusives: a clear-vinyl edition of rediscovered singer-songwriter Rodriquez's 1970 debut Cold Fact, Portugal. The Man's bone-colored limited-editon "Church Mouth" release, and The Secret EP from the Airborne Toxic Event, previously only available at the South by Southwest music conference in Texas last month. Saturday performer Puscifer, the experimental side project of Tool and A Perfect Circle vocalist Maynard James Keenan, took to its Facebook page to let fans know the pop-up store had copies of the limited, hand-screened version of V Is for Vagina.
"Record Store Day is a lot of fun for us, but it's difficult to predict what people will buy," Brian Faber, general manager of Phoenix-based Zia Records, says. "We haven't always been right."
He says in the past the shop has completely sold out of limited releases from artists like the Flaming Lips and jam band Phish. So far, he notes, the best-selling artist of Coachella 2013 has been Australian psych-rock quartet Tame Impala, who also had a vinyl EP availble in limited quantities on Saturday.
Music fan Julie Miller of Mesa, Ariz., flipped frantically through the racks, unable to find what she was looking for yet unwilling to ask a staffer for assistance. "I guess I'm too slow," she says with a laugh, fearing she missed out on some of the day's specials. "My friend is holding my spot in line for the Phoenix signing now, so I'm just getting the new Alex Clare, but I wanted something by Grizzly Bear."
Coachellan Sam Turant of Hermosa Beach stood in line when the festival opened to pick up Mumford & Sons' Live at Bull Moose EP and a 7-inch single of "Black Chandelier" from Weekend 2 no-show Biffy Clyro.
"I saw it on the artists' website and took the chance that it would be here and it was," he says. "I'm just not sure where I'm going to keep it for the rest of the day." (Zia and the Coachella boutique staff gladly hold purchased items until the end of the day, so patrons needn't fear warping or damage from the desert sun.)
Zia and the Coachella boutique also teamed up with art, clothing and designer toy producer Kidrobot to get fans and artists to sign mega-sized vinyl Munny figurines to be auctioned off for charity after the festivals.
The 18-inch monkey-shaped toys were inked each day in various Sharpie colors by patrons who signed their names or left special messages and small drawings. Several of the acts, including Passion Pit, Tegan and Sara, Skinny Lister, White Arrows, Aesop Rock, Local Natives and more, also signed a special Munny statue that will be put up for auction in the coming weeks, with proceeds benefitting Raices Youth Art in Indio.
"It's a perfect cocktail, really," Chelsea McKamy of Kidrobot mentioned in an e-mail interview. "An independent record store with a world of artist product, an irrefutable art, apparel and toy company matched with the Racies charity close to local Indio hearts ... how can you go wrong? That is nostalgia, emotive and ethics put together for a great cause."
The signed Munny figures will arrive at Kidrobot headquarters in the coming weeks, where they will be photographed and put up for auction. The artists, whose numbers, McKamy notes, may have surpassed a hundred by the end of the two weekends, clearly had fun with the project, drawing little hearts and band logos onto the smooth surface.
To give back to the local art community in a creative way was a no-brainer, McKamy says.
"What's the purpose of influence if you can't give back?" she says. "We give back because we have to. Especially with art. It's the age-old question: 'Is art the reflection of humanity or is humanity the reflection of art?' When you add in the lifestyle brand aspect, it's amplified – art and giving back is a lifestyle."

PHA co-founder (1999)deceased (2013) Sebring, Fla. Board Emeritus Dorothy Olson - one of the founders of PHA - lived in Sebring, Florida, and served on the Board of Trustees from 1990 until 2003, when she was elected to Board Emeritus. Until her passing in 2013, she remained a familiar figure and voice to many PH patients. Dorothy had a business background, having worked for AGWAY as an office manager with extensive experience in personnel, payroll, cost accounting, mediations, inventory control and procedure consulting. As a patient with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, she underwent PTE surgery in 1995 in San Diego. She answered the 800 Support Line from the beginning and continued to do so until her passing. She was the reference contact for other patients with "clots." Dorothy chaired and served on various committees including personnel, nominations, by-laws and articles of incorporation and served as Secretary for seven years. Working with Teresa Knazik, also one of our "kitchen table" founders, the first Pathlight was published in 1990. Dorothy, Support Editor, will be remembered for her "Alphabet Soup" columns and tips and advice on coping and living with PAH. After becoming visually impaired in 1996, Dorothy was instrumental in forming a support group of others in her community who were legally blind. As her vision faded, Dorothy said, "I may not be able to see anymore, but I can still think and dial a phone. Use me." For many years, Dorothy made personal thank you calls to PHA donors and contributed her time and talents in many other ways until her passing.Read the story of Dorothy's diagnosis (PDF) Excerpt from the detailed history of PHA

Miz Mooz uses BizSlate's mobile technology to manage orders and inventory on the go.
Amy Dusto
Wholesale shoe seller Miz Mooz, which sells through nine retailers' e-commerce sites and in several New York boutiques, has cut the time to process orders from trade shows in half since starting to use a mobile inventory and order management system from vendor BizSlate, says Jeffrey Bart, vice president of sales and operations. That's because on-the-go Miz Mooz salespeople can now see live inventory levels and place orders on iPads or laptops, rather than writing them down and manually entering them into the store's order management system later, he says.
BizSlate provides ready access to all Miz Mooz's order and inventory data, allowing staff to immediately place and approve orders when meeting with clients, which speeds up the time to fill them by days or weeks, Bart says.
"If we happen to have some sales reps at a trade show and other reps simultaneously in the field with customers, inventory is correctly reflected, up to the second," he says. "If customers are ordering products that we have in stock, I can approve orders while they are still with me at the trade show, and give the OK to our warehouse to immediately pick, pack and ship the order."
Some of BizSlate's efficiency comes from its easy-to-use order entry screen, Bart says. "We have an option that allows us to quickly access all colors and sizes for a style of shoe and add the needed quantities all at once," he says. Miz Mooz has only been using BizSlate's mobile system since the Magic fashion trade show earlier in February, but he says he expects to see significant improvements to operational costs and better inventory tracking, efficiency and customer relationships within the next three to six months.
By mid-2013, retailers and distributors will be able to create an e-commerce web site with BizSlate technology that integrates with BizSlate's live inventory and order management system, says Marc Kalman, BizSlate founder and CEO. They'll also be able to integrate the site with "a few of the more popular 'off the shelf' e-commerce shopping cart programs," he says.
Miz Mooz pays about $4,500 per year for three users to access BizSlate's mobile system, Kalman says. The retailer is taking advantage of the company's current promotion for new customers to receive a 45% lifetime discount on all fees, which will be offered for the next six months, he says. At regular pricing, BizSlate costs $9,089 per year, plus $1,069 per user and a $10,000 set-up fee for retailers using Intuit's Inc.'s QuickBooks. BizSlate is designed to work with that accounting software. Those businesses that don't use QuickBooks must pay an additional $8,000 to migrate their data to BizSlate during set up.

Hot Nikes!
