Steven Bratman, MD
In the 1990s, antioxidants became famous as the nutritional equivalent of the fountain of youth. Increasing your intake of
vitamin C,
vitamin E, beta-carotene, and
was promoted as an easy and painless way to prevent
heart disease, vision problems,
Alzheimer's disease,
arthritis, and many other illnesses.
Unfortunately, recent research has put a damper on this excitement. It now appears that antioxidant proponents had jumped the gun. In fact, these supplements may have little benefit for these purposes. Worse still, some may even
increase the
risk of cancer and heart disease.
Antioxidants are chemical substances naturally found in foods. They function as a protective shield against harmful, unstable molecules known as free radicals. Free radicals are produced throughout the body as a result of normal body functions. They have some important uses, such as fighting infection. However, free radicals can also cause harm to healthy tissues and are believed to play a role in many diseases.
The potential harmful effects of excessive free radicals range from cosmetic to life-threatening. They may break down skin tissue, making it look older than it is. They may injure the lens of the eye, leading to the early development of
cataracts. And they may make it harder for cells to repair themselves, which can increase the risk of cancer, heart disease, and other diseases of age.
The body itself has a well-developed system to contain free radicals. High consumption of certain nutrients might boost this system, and thereby improve health.
There are a variety of antioxidants present in many different foods. The following is a list of the most well known antioxidants and the foods in which they are found. Also listed are selenium and manganese, which are not antioxidants themselves, but are necessary for the body to create its own natural antioxidants.
Scientists became interested in antioxidants several decades ago when they noticed that people who regularly consumed fruits, vegetables, and other foods high in antioxidants had a lower incidence of diseases such as
cancer, heart disease,
arthritis, age-related vision problems,
Alzheimer's disease,
Parkinson disease, and many other conditions. Speculation began to grow that perhaps antioxidants might be key to preventing degenerative diseases and slowing the aging process.
However, it is difficult to rule out other factors that may play a role. For example, people who take vitamins may also exercise more or take better care of themselves in other ways. Such factors make the results of these studies less reliable.
Scientists in the early 1990s raised the possibility that other factors in fruits and vegetables besides the major antioxidants were responsible for their beneficial health effects. Or, alternatively, that antioxidant ingredients had to be present in certain combinations, or in the context of a whole food. Nonetheless, based on studies that showed positive physiologic changes when these antioxidants were taken, many scientists remained convinced that isolated antioxidant supplements should be helpful. So, they tested this theory in a large study, enrolling tens of thousands of people who took antioxidant supplements for several years.
Much to everyone's surprise, the majority of these studies did not support a beneficial effect for antioxidant supplementation. Not only did antioxidant supplements fail to prevent illness, they appeared to increase it under certain circumstances. This was true, not only when isolated antioxidants were used, but with combined antioxidant therapies as well.
An analysis of randomized trials investigating the effects of antioxidant supplements on longevity found no decrease in mortality—with the possible exception of selenium. Moreover, vitamins A and E and beta-carotene appeared to modestly, but significantly, increase mortality. This was true whether the supplements were used alone or in combination.
The history of the supplement beta-carotene and its potential cancer-preventing benefits provides an example of antioxidants' disappointing record. The story began in the early 1980s when the cumulative results of many studies suggested that people who eat a lot of fruits and vegetables are significantly less likely to get cancer. A close look at the data pointed to carotenes as the active ingredients in fruits and vegetables. It appeared that a high intake of dietary carotene might significantly reduce the risk of cancers of the
esophageal, and
stomach. In addition to these observational studies, evidence from laboratory evaluations showed that beta-carotene helped prevent healthy cells from becoming cancerous.
The possibility that a simple, cheap supplement could reduce cancer rates excited researchers. In a relatively short time, funds were gathered to conduct several large trials. Most of these studies enrolled people in high-risk groups such as smokers, because it is easier to see results in a study when you look at people who are more likely to develop the disease you are studying.
In 1994, the results of the Alpha-Tocopherol, Beta-Carotene (ATBC) study dashed researchers hopes. The results of this 29,133-person study showed that beta-carotene supplements did not prevent lung cancer, but actually increased the risk of getting it by 18%.
In January 1996, researchers monitoring the Beta-Carotene and Retinol Efficacy Trial (CARET) confirmed the prior bad news with more of their own: the beta-carotene group had 46% more cases of lung cancer deaths. This study involved smokers, former smokers, and workers exposed to asbestos. Alarmed, the National Cancer Institute ended the $42 million CARET trial 21 months sooner than planned.
The news is slightly better for 2 other antioxidant supplements: vitamin E and selenium. Each of these supplements has some evidence from trials indicating that they may reduce risk of certain forms of cancer. However, this evidence is far from definitive, and subsequent research has yet to confirm these findings. Worse, in some studies, doses of vitamin E above 150 IU per day were associated with increased risk of death. Selenium remains under trial as a possible agent for preventing colon cancer, but it will likely take several additional years to know whether supplementation is of health value.
The evidence for a generalized anticancer effect with other antioxidant supplements, such as vitamin C,
lycopene, and
green tea, is not persuasive either, since it is limited almost entirely to observational and test tube studies. Vitamin E or selenium may even increase the risk of
prostate cancer.
There is an ongoing debate that focuses on antioxidants and their effects on
radiation therapy. It is unclear whether antioxidants interfere with the effects of these therapies by reducing their effectiveness or by enhancing it. There have been studies published that support each of the opposing ideas. This is a controversial area that requires additional research.
There is no harm in eating foods rich in antioxidants.
As with cancer prevention, the results of many large observational studies suggest that higher consumption of antioxidant supplements may decrease heart disease risk. However, other trials have failed to find benefit with vitamin E, beta-carotene, vitamin C, or mixed antioxidants—some even suggest that such supplements may increase risk.
Similarly, intervention trials have not consistently found that antioxidants are helpful for macular degeneration. Mixed antioxidants have also failed to be helpful for preventing cataracts, but the antioxidant lutein has shown promise for this condition.
Researchers have discovered, though, that antioxidant supplements may help to improve fertility in men who have unexplained infertility. It is believed that antioxidants may help to fight against damage to sperm cells.
There are 2 possible interpretations of these results. One, the more hopeful possibility, is that antioxidants really are helpful, but only when they are taken in the form of naturally occurring food. If this is correct, consuming more fruits and vegetables may be health promoting, while the benefits of taking vitamin supplements still needs to be proven.
However, another possibility is that the apparent correlation between antioxidant intake and reduced rate of disease does not indicate cause and effect, and that consuming extra antioxidants in any form will fail to prevent disease.
So what should an educated consumer do? The best option is probably to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables. If your vegetable or fruit has color to it, it almost certainly contains an antioxidant that might provide a health benefit. Some people may also want to "hedge their bets" and take a multivitamin/multimineral tablet that supplies nutrients at basic nutritional doses. Because of studies showing risk at high doses, vitamin E dosage should probably remain below 1500 IU daily, and even this dose does not guarantee safety, as rare adverse effects are difficult to measure. Similarly, we do not know if low doses of beta carotene increase cancer risk.

Feeding America is a nationwide network of 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs that provides food and services to people each year. Together, we are the nation's leading domestic hunger-relief organization. Our network serves virtually every community in all 50 states, Washington D.C., and Puerto Rico.
How do food banks work? The process of getting food to hungry Americans requires a dynamic infrastructure and sophisticated management. Feeding America secures donations from national food and grocery manufacturers, retailers, shippers, packers and growers and from government agencies and other organizations. Feeding America then moves donated food and grocery product to member food banks.
The food banks in turn distribute food and grocery items through food pantries and meal programs that serve families, children, seniors and others at risk of hunger. Last year alone, the Feeding America network distributed more than 4 billion meals to people in need.
Feeding America nationwide network of food banks also supports programs that improve food security among the people we serve; educates the public about the problem of hunger; and advocates for legislation that protects people from going hungry. Individuals, charities, businesses and government all have a role in ending hunger.
Together, we can make a difference to help families in need.

JACKSON — College Board officials say the board will name its preferred candidate for the next president of Delta State University on Friday.
The board, which oversees Delta State and Mississippi's other seven public universities, plans a news conference to name the choice. After a campus tour, the board typically votes to confirm its preferred candidate.
Board members held closed meetings in recent weeks to interview seven candidates recommended by a campus search committee.
John Hilpert, who has led the 4,800-student school since 2003, announced his retirement last year. He's the longest serving president of a public university in Mississippi.
The College Board recently named Rodney Bennett as president of the University of Southern Mississippi. Only Mississippi Valley State University would lack a permanent leader if Delta State gets a new chief.

Pros: everything
Cons: it doesnt make coffee
Ill keep this short and sweet. I've had mine for four years and it has done every duty in the book that a set of speakers can do. Its been moved back and forth from dorm to dorm, apartment to apartment - all the while ensuring Im kicked out as soon as I arrive. These things rock!
The small speakers do tend to be outclassed by the bass driver. They get loud, but the dont project very well. This set is best suited for near-field use to medium sized bedrooms. Also, this set is perfectly acceptable as a bedroom surround system, its simply fantastic. I would buy again if this were to die.

Well fellas, after two days back to back of not hearing a single gobble or seeing my Tom, I'm somewhat perplexed and trying to figure my next move. Last week I had him in my sites a couple times, but could not close the deal. Got sick and could not finish out the week, so yesterday and this morning were my two chances at redemption, but no sign of the Tom. Matter of fact I saw one lone hen yesterday who was feeding in the field, and a different one on the opposite side today. Tomorrow its supposed to rain, how hard I'm not sure but was planning to take that day off from hunting...the 0300 wakeups get to me after two in a row and I need to recharge.
As best as I can figure it looks like the hens are on the nest and we are in the post breeding lull. With that in mind, it looks like last week was my best chance to nail this Tom, and thats assuming someone did not take him out already during the time I was down hard with the flu. I suspect there is one other Gob and at least a couple jakes running around that area so assuming they have not left the area, there is opportunity. Additionally we've had a bit of a cold snap over the last two days, so I'm wondering if this is why they are clammed up and sitting tight...is that possible?
So I guess my question is where to go from here? Based on the lack of pressure and "other hunter" presence, I don't think he was shot....plus he is pretty savy, so for now I'm going to assume he is still around...besides that's all i got to hang my hopes on, lol! With that assumption in mind what would be the best way to hunt him going forward? If we are as far into the season as I think we are, is it worth it to continue to setup in his strut zone or the areas between which he roosts and feeds? BTW , I'm not sure where he is roosting now, but its not the same place as before...at least I've not seen him flydown. My sense is he is staying in the thin strip of woods from which he roosts, so would a call, locate, run & gun style be a better approach...mind you they have not responded to any locator calls...but the real crows have been really good at letting me know where they are at. Should I hunt the rain tomorrow in the hopes that it drives them into the field?
What i am considering is the following...
1. Hunt the strut zone on Thursday morning, it will be warmer...assuming that the cold temps in the last couple days have something to do with them being tightlipped. By 7:30 I've usually seen my Tom make his appearance.
2 If by 0730 he does not appear I plan to hit the two track that boarders the strip of woods...do some calling and locating..and keep a sharp ear out for the crows. if I get a response or see a Tom, I'll setup and try and bring him in with some soft clucks and purrs, scratching etc...no aggressive calls
3. If that does not work, there is another field in the interior of the property that I've been wanting to get to that you cannot see from the road...they could be hanging out there as well
4. ..and if none of that works I'm going to have to spend some time scouting newer areas and trying to roost them...this is the least desired simply because my schedule , the distance of where I hunt from my house, and the baby just don't make it practical for me to show up at home after 9pm...not if I want to stay within the good graces of my wife, lol.
Now if we are in T4 (or T6 according to other charts), I'm not sure what else I can do if the birds ain't feeling it...so any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks fellas![:D]

Construction driving down profits in Bethlehem, business owners say
BETHLEHEM, Pa. - An ongoing construction project in Bethlehem is a major road block for customers.
Business owners say things will look great when the project is finished, but for now, construction is taking a bite out of their profits.
The sounds of progress on Main Street in Bethlehem also means less money for some business owners
"Well it's a bit of a mixed bag obviously. Certainly people's business has been affected by the street closure, said Neville Gardner, Downtown Bethlehem Association. "The further down the street you go, the worse it is," Gardner added.
Crews are installing a new star along the street at Main and Market.
They also replaced a water main and fixed sidewalks.
Construction started in September and at Johnny's Bagel and Deli they've seen the work cut into their profits.
"During the week our business is like fifty percent down," said Joann Bernhardt, Johnny's Bagels and Deli. "On the weekends, it's maybe about 25 to 30 percent down. So it took a really big toll on the business," Bernhardt said.
"They've all been very patient," said Gardner. "They recognize this project is being done by a very generous donation from Liberty Property."
While business owners wait, what does the work mean for festivals?
Harvest Festival is this weekend and for people used to strolling Main Street, they'll just have to make a detour.
"It's not going to take any of the juice from Harvest Fest," said Gardner. "We're going to have vendors on the opposite side of the street, down to as far as the Moravian Book Shop, so there will be lots of stuff going on opposite the hotel."

GLORY 2 Brussels Preview: The Return Of Remy Bonjasky
- Written by Rian Scalia
GLORY 2 Brussels, including Remy Bonjasky vs. Anderson "Braddock" Silva is available to watch live, here on LiverKick.com on this Saturday, October 6. The event starts at 1PM ET/10AM PT in North America and at 19:00 CET in Europe and is $15 USD to watch. Click here to watch GLORY 2 Brussels.
GLORY 2 Brussels takes place tomorrow in Brussels, Belgium and despite many interesting fights throughout the card, the main attraction is of course the return of Remy Bonjasky, who fights Anderson "Braddock" Silva in the main event. Bonjasky comes off almost a three year layoff from fighting while Silva's last fight saw him push Badr Hari to the limit, in a fight where Hari was lucky that there wasn't an extra round.
The main focus of this fight is on Bonjasky, as the three year layoff raises many question marks. Remy's last fight was on December 5, 2009 at the K-1 WGP Final where he was stopped in the first round by Semmy Schilt, after coming into the fight already injured from his win over Errol Zimmerman previously that night. We don't know if he's lost a step since then. We don't really know what kind of condition he's in compared to the past, although word is that he's coming into this fight banged up, even admitting at the press conference earlier today that he suffered an injury a few weeks ago. Also, the severity of his eye injury that forced him to retire in the first place is a bit of a mystery in its own right, with conflicting accounts of the condition and the potential danger of re-aggravating it.
We're kind of forced to speculate on unknown variables when it comes to Remy Bonjasky in this fight. What we have to remember though, is that Remy was a top fighter when he left. A lot of people don't like him for his defensive style or for how he acted in the second Badr Hari fight, but it's undeniable that he was a top fighter at the time. In the last year before he retired, he beat Badr Hari, Errol Zimmerman, Gokhan Saki and Alistair Overeem.
Meanwhile, Anderson "Braddock" Silva has undoubtedly proven himself this year after his fight with Badr Hari. Whether you want to debate if that was the "real" Badr or not, he still gave him all he could handle and Badr seriously escaped going to an extra round. For that fight we saw what looked like a much more serious and in shape Silva than the one that lost to Catalin Morosanu in February. Essentially, we kind of have to speculate for Silva too, seeing as the fight with Badr was something we never really saw before from him.
What this fight comes down to is Silva's degree of pressure and volume, along with him being able to land cleanly against Bonjasky's ability to defend like he did in the past, whilst scoring with enough offense to edge out Silva's volume. I emphasize Silva's volume because frankly, he doesn't really have a high output and he's going to need to have exactly that to win. If he's active, he can keep Remy on defense and not give him opportunities for offense. Bonjasky's defense was always good and hard to penetrate but especially in European kickboxing, judges are probably going to see the more active guy who throws a lot of punches, whether they're landing cleanly or being blocked, as the winner.
I'm not sure Silva can show the appropriate level of volume to win this fight though. He's never really shown it before, as he takes a more measured, patient approach to striking. Sometimes he's even too patient, like in the fight with Michael Duut that saw him able to pretty much land at will, dropping Duut but still not turning it up a notch.
Here's where the speculation comes in. While we don't know what kind of condition Remy Bonjasky is in, I still think he's going to be able to obtain an edge in this fight. Silva's patient approach should leave Bonjasky with opportunities to strike, especially with kicks from range. I don't see this fight being fast-paced and I think pace-wise, it'll be similar to Bonjasky's third fight with Melvin Manhoef. Silva in my opinion is just not dynamic enough to gain and maintain an edge throughout this fight. I think the fight will be close and definitely competitive but in the end, I see Bonjasky being able to land cleaner, more meaningful strikes throughout the fight.
Bonjasky has something to prove and he knows that he has to make a good impression leading into the Grand Slam. Ultimately, I think he does enough to outpoint Silva, who should provide a stiff test for the man known as "The Flying Gentleman."

Well… not exactly… but here are some myths about Cold Weather Camping that may help you be a lot more prepared;
Myth #1: Leather hiking boots will keep your feet warm. — FALSE
– The snug fit of most leather hiking boots can limit the circulation of blood in the foot. Especially with thick socks on. Overboots cut generously enough to hold your foot and shoe are much more effective. The cloth stitching in leather boots can also wick moisture into the shoe. Nothing is worse that wet feet in cold winter.
Myth #2: Waterproof clothing is ideal for cold weather camping. — FALSE
– To keep warm, in the cold, your clothing must allow body moisture to escape. Moisture that is trapped too close to the body can wick heat away through evaporation. It is better to layer your clothing on in cold weather. Wool, Gor Tex, and polypropylene garments work nice in the cold. Always wear insulated underwear.
Myth #3: Winter camping does not require much preparation. — FALSE
– Arctic conditions exist when the wind is blowing and the temperature drops below 20 degrees F. There are only seven states in the U.S. that do not experience arctic weather. Oregon is not one of them.. It is very important to prepare and even over prepare. I've never heard anyone complain about being too warm or having too many dry clothes on a winter campout.
Myth #4: Mental attitude has little to do with winter camping. — FALSE
– A positive mental attitude is the most important ingredient in the success of cold weather camping trips. The demands of winter will drain your energy and you'll have to rely on yourself to keep your spirits high.
Myth #5: In cold weather, tasks can be done just as quickly as in warm weather. — FALSE
– Every effort in cold weather takes longer to complete. Be sure to bring some winter patience with you when you camp in the cold.
Now that would be a great episode for Myth Busters.. wouldn't it?
Happy Scouting!

I never get tired of watching this series. Even though I've only just read the manga section of it like, a few days ago so most the events are still fresh in my mind. It's just too good. ;__;
Manga spoiler for later on:

Started this series yesterday and am now on ep 11, I'm kinda happy I got to watch it all at once so I didn't have to wait week by week like some other series I've been watching (damn you fate/zero). Does anyone know if this is going to be a one season show or if they plan to continue? If it doesn't i'll pick up the manga but I'm really enjoying the anime so if it does have plans to continue i'll hold off on the manga till the series finishes.

Well, copying Midorima and Aomine will be mostlikely most effective since Murasakibara is insanely tall and he supports his style with that. Well, we still don't know what that captain what'shisname uses but since he invented Kuroko's play he's most likely like really smart maybe something like that emo bone breaker

Wonderful place to stay - fantastic view from the terrace. Located a stone throw from Place du Tertre you can imagine that you are inmidst of it. Alexandre is a nice and helpful host, Small market place next door.
I really enjoyed the stay and would definitely recommand this place
Cozy appartement with an unique view over the city (and the Eiffel tower). It was very comfortable with the handover of the key and our departure. Moreover few questions and problems could've been solved very quick. We were very satisfied with our stay and would absolutely recommend this apartment.
Apartment is incredibly good and the terrace is one of the nicest we've seen.
Eiffel Tower is clear to see on terrace.
apartment is good for 2 people and we will come again for sure
The only thing that could be better is that the bed is a bit rough in the middle . With a new bed everything would be perfect. But we give 5 stars for great impression .

Great place!
The appartment is fantastic and the view is incredible!
Very clean and comfortable.
There are a lot of bars and cafes nearby. And it is a short jump to the metro and to the nice place of montmartre.
Thank you!
Great place, the view is amazing. Even a small park to look at out front. Comfortable furniture, nice shower and a good hairdryer! It would be nice to have an ironing board and some more clothes hangers. Alexandre was easy to deal with. Lots of bakeries, shops and restos only minutes away, there's even a small store directly below the apartment. I would definitely stay here again.
A very nice apartment with a wonderful view over Paris.
Alexandre was also very service minded and nice.
Next time we will visit Paris will this be our first choise.
We stayed at Apartment Gabriele for 5 nights, and had the most wonderful time in Paris.
Alexandre was very helpful both before we arrived in Paris and also during our stay.
The apartment is very beautiful - not so big, but very nicely decorated. It is situated in a nice neighborhood and is very very close to Sacre Coeur.
The terasse is perfect, and the view of Paris is the just so beautiful. You can see all of Paris, and the view from the terasse is just as good as the one a lot of tourists go to Sacre Coeur to see. Staying in this apartment you can see the view at all times: morning, evening and night.
If you go to Paris, this is really the place to stay.
The appartement is excactly as beautiful, stylish and clean as shown on the photos. The view from the terrasse is more than breathtaking and awesome. We went there for honeymoon June 2012 and I can tell you that was the best decision ever. Our host was great and gave us some good advises for restaurants that were just really french and really good, and very close to the appartment. We were all happy about our host and the appartment.
We had an amazing stay In Montmartre. The view from the deck is magnificent - the pics on the Wimdu site do not lie. The apartment is very comfortable - we managed quite nicely with two adults and our seven-year-old daughter. It would be the perfect spot for a couple. It is located close to the Metro, shops, cafes, bars and restaurants and the Sacre Couer. We would not hesitate to stay there again. It was very hard to leave.

Find Inspiration in the Global Month of Service
When I think about the 13 years I've spent in Seattle, I'm truly impressed by the spirit of volunteerism here. I've had the pleasure of engaging with lots of folks who embody the spirit of volunteerism, but none more than the Sanford family.
I've known the Sanfords for as long as I have been here, and I recently asked the members of the family about how this spirit of giving evolved.
"I read a quote once that said something like: 'It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.' This sentiment continues to inspire me to remain involved with the community issue of child abuse and neglect. It is so quick and simple to send a check, but being personally able to learn about and support agencies that are actually solving problems is an incredible opportunity to give to my community and help teach others about the issues."
"Growing up in a family like mine has encouraged me to look beyond myself and beyond my immediate circle to reach out and connect with other people. I have always been taught to get involved and stay committed. We all have the ability to help others in some form or another. It can be time or money or guidance, but it is important to remember that every little bit helps. What might not seem like a significant effort can make all the difference to a person or family in need."
"Regardless of whatever challenges or hardships I've encountered in my life I have always considered myself to be a very fortunate person. I am an eternal optimist, and more than willing to believe that people are basically good. I think it's my optimism and belief in people that makes it very difficult to say no when someone needs help. I won't pretend to be driven by some deep-seated desire to make the world a better place. I just like to help."
I've personally been motivated by the Sanford family and their dedication to giving back. Their efforts have inspired me. As the Starbucks global month of service gets under way, my question is "Where will you find your volunteer spirit?"

Saturday I joined about 20 volunteers to help out at The Salvation Army kitchen in New Westminster, BC serving breakfast. We served roughly 60 people and had fun doing it. Thank you Starbucks for giving me an opportunity to volunteer in my community. I have to say only 3 of us were not Starbucks employees and my hats off to those great people, they made volunteering so much fun.

by DomainTools
Jul 12, 2014
As the Internet has evolved to become a primary channel of trade and commerce, so has the sophistication of criminal organizations and other perpetrators of fraudulent schemes who take advantage of domain privacy features as a means by which to mask their true identity. Domain privacy, a controversial topic since its introduction in 2003, provides domain owners with the option to substitute the registrar's contract information for their own. While there are a variety of legitimate reasons why an individual or organization might want to conceal their identity when registering a domain, criminal organizations and threat actors have increasingly become the primary beneficiaries of domain privacy and have perfected the art of using this feature in order to pursue any variety of fraudulent activities.
But how difficult is it to pierce this secretive veil and what tools and methods can be applied to shine a light on those who wish to remain anonymous? This guide will show you how DomainTools products can be applied in an investigation to identify the perpetrator, build a profile of a cyber-attack, and proactively protect your data, infrastructure and intellectual property.

Last night, Evelyn Lozada sat down for an exclusive interview with Nightline, speaking for the first time on the altercation she had with her husband, Chad Johnson earlier this month. Evelyn spoke in detail, revealing information we've been wanting to know since the news of the incident broke.
On August 11, Evelyn Lozada was taking groceries out of a car that her husband, Chad Johnson used to drive to football practice when she found a bag in the backseat with a toothbrush holder and a Walgreens receipt for a box of condoms inside. The receipt was dated July 20, she said, three weeks after they were married.
DETAILS: Chad Johnson Admits He Was Wrong!
When Chad Johnson came home later that evening, Lozada said she got into his car to confront him about the receipt and threatened to leave him.
"And then the next thing I know, he grabbed me by here [pointing to her head] and he head-butted me," Lozada said. "I felt blood coming down my face… and I looked at him and I said, 'You just head-butted me?' And it just — everything just felt if it was in slow motion."
The 36-year-old reality star said she tried to remain calm during the exchange because she said Johnson was angry, and denied he had done anything wrong.
"He was gone to me, like, it wasn't him," she said. "He got out of the car, really, really quick and ran into the house, and I said to myself, 'I need to get out of here.'"
PHOTOS: Evelyn Lozada Escapes The Drama With A Getaway To Barbados!
Lozada said she ran to a neighbor's house where she hid outside until the neighbor came home and called the police. She then went to the hospital where she said she received six stitches on her forehead.
We wish the best for both Evelyn and Chad. Domestic abuse should never happen under any circumstance.

Newbie - Advise and Suggestions
Am Sriram from New York. This is my first post in eh.net. Am delighted that i found this community.
Am a Masters Graduate from NYU with specialization in Network Security, Information Security and Cryptography.
Prior to my masters degree, i have worked one year in Networks Operations Center of a multi-national company and also i have about 4 years of experience in freelancing, Software Development, providing web services, and network consulting.
Since my field of interest is Cyber Security and Penetration Testing, am planning to takeup the CEH.
I went through the detailed course structure and most of the things are the ones that i have already studied during my graduate studies. I might have to work on the labs though because the graduate program was like 40% practical and 60% theory.
So am planning to takeup the Self-Study path. I have a couple of doubts and i would highly appreciate if anyone could clarify it to me.
1) If i takeup the selfstudy path, is it mandatory that i have to buy the SelfStudy material from EC-COUNCIL or Career Academy or Quickcert to get the registration number / voucher number. Because, i already have the DVD's from Career Academy that my friend gave it to me. It is V6.0 and i think i can use it.
2) Though i have the DVD's, i don't have the hard copy materials / courseware. Is it necessary to study from the hard copy material. is there any alternative to that. I mean is there any other book that i can use to compensate that.
3) What other materials / videos / books apart from the ECC courseware do you recommend..?
4) On an average, how many hours does a person prepare to successfully complete the CEH exam..?
Awaiting a quick response on this.
Thanks in advance,

1995 Guitar World Interview: Neil Young Discusses 'Mirror Ball' and Working with Pearl Jam
How did the sessions come about?
Pearl Jam and I were playing at the pro-choice benefit up there in Washington D.C. [January 14-15]. Eddie had just inducted me into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in New York, where I played "Act of Love" with the guys from Crazy Horse. The Pearl Jam guys recorded the performance on a cassette player they had on their table, and they knew it by the next night. I said, "Why don't we try it?" So we did it in Washington, and it was great. I said, "Maybe we ought to record it. It sounds good." They were thinking the same thing.
So we set a date to go in and record. I wanted to have more than one song, so I came in with three other songs in hand.
Did you send them demos or call to talk about what you wanted to do?
No. Talking about it isn't going to help you do it, anyway. The beauty of the thing is that hardly any talking had to happen at all. We all knew what we had to do. Everybody was together; I'd bring the song in and run it down, then everybody would play it. I don't think we did more than five takes on anything.
You've also toured with Pearl Jam and jammed with them. There's obviously a kinship there.
I think it's respect. I think they're doing a great job. They like what I've done in the past and the fact that I'm still doing it. We're sympathetic. They're definitely old souls – they've been around. Musically, there's youthful energy, but without the sound of inexperience. And our musical styles are compatible – it's like a big wall of sound with a lot of nuances in there.
Was that achieved purely on instinct?
Yeah. There was no talking, no arrangements. Everything was spontaneous. Everybody was listening to everybody else playing. They care for the song; they don't think about riffing or anything, just playing. The songs would evolve, but usually by take four, they were done.
In that type of situation, is your role any different from what it is when you work with people you've played with for years? Did you have to conduct more?
No. I just play my guitar and sing. There was no direction. I just played my songs the way I would play them with anybody else. Actually, I played them like I was sure everything was going to be there. It was evident to me right away they were gonna be able to deliver the goods. They picked things up real well. I'm fortunate to have these great musicians – them and Crazy Horse – to play with. They're great bands.
How is playing with Pearl Jam different from playing with Crazy Horse?
There's more singing in Crazy Horse. But it's hard to compare them. They're different; they have different rhythms. Both are very sincere, very intense, very real and very raw. But they are different.
What did Eddie Vedder do at the sessions?
Not much. He just sang on "Peace and Love"; he sings the lyrics that he wrote. And he sang on "Act of Love." I sang on a couple of his songs, which aren't on the record; they've got 'em in the can somewhere. They sound real good, too.
The album was produced by Brendan O'Brien, who is quite clearly their guy.
I chose to use their whole organization. They seemed to be running very well. They needed no prompting from anyone. I was just bringing the songs in and playing with them, so I used all their stuff. Why make is harder or more complicated? It was easier for them to adapt to me if I came in and left them alone. So that's what I did.
So what did you bring with you?
Just my guitars, my organ and my amplifier. Actually, though, I only used one guitar on the record – Old Black, my '52 Les Paul.
Pearl Jam and some of their contemporaries say that you've been a big influence on them. Does that strike a chord with you?
I don't know. When I listen to this record, it's sort of like a big new sound to me. It sounds more like a band than it does Neil Young. I mixed it like it's a band, instead of having some big voice up front and a little band behind it.
How did you choose Mirror Ball as an album title?
Often, when I'm looking for a title, I'll just search through all the lyrics on the album. "Mirror Ball" was a lyric from "Downtown"; it just sort of jumped out at me. This must be my mirror ball moment. [laughs]
Is "Downtown" about any place in particular?
No. It's just a song. It came out of nowhere and just came through me.
You take on some pretty broad issues on the album, and there also seems to be a strong political subtext. Did this come from writing the songs in such a brief period of time, so close together?
I don't know; I haven't really thought about it. "What Happened Yesterday" and "Peace And Love" were written within a two-week period. And I guess "Throw Your Anger Down" and "Scenery" were written in the same 24-hour period.
All the lyrics come from the combinations of things that were going on in my life at the time they were written. I've got a pretty busy life. I do a lot of things off the beaten path. I travel around. I see things that kind of jerk me one way or another; sometimes I'm in a room full of businessmen and later that day I'm onstage with Pearl Jam. It's a whirlwind.
"Ocean" seems like a particularly personal song.
It's more like a flash, a whole bunch of sequences flying by. There's no real linear quality; it's just a bunch of pictures. The songs themselves just kind of spilled out.
So there was no temptation to really craft and polish these songs?
Nah. Somebody else can do that. I'll tell ya, though, someone can make a big hit record out of "Downtown" – put horns and girls on it and go nuts, do the whole arrangement. It would sound great.

This is unexplainable. "You can't make sense out of nonsense.", so stop trying. 4 & 5 year old kids killed because of somebody who had a family issue. Sorry b#stard doesn't do it justice. I feel terrible for the families & friends of them who were stripped of innocence & their pride & joy. I can't begin to imagine.
Guns don't kill people. It's a technical impossibility. When you take guns away from the innocent, you're basically condemning them to certain failure.
Maybe we can get people off of welfare by creating security jobs @ schools & public places. Just a quick fix that makes too much sense & will never come to fruition.
I am not blameing anybody. But i deliver to the green bay public schools every day . A ll staff and vendors have cards for the card readers. the parents and vistors have a push button entercom with a camera to see if they are allowed to come in.
If this basturd was dressed like he was i can not believe he was let in. This might be to soon to talk about but i have to get it off my chest
Unbelievable. Don't know what to say. I am so sad. Prayers out to all!!!!

"Dont cry because its over. Smile because it happened."
Dr. Seuss
The news has corrected themselves. He (younger brother) killed his mother at home and then drove to the school and started shooting. His older brother is at his house in NJ as is the father. Mixed reporting on whether they live together. Older brother reports the younger brother had some mental problems. What is not reported yet is a definitive answer on the guy in the field that was removed in handcuffs. Guesses range from 1) he was just a by-stander that ran like heck to 2) he was connected to the shooter.
Shooting appears to be with hand-guns although the hue and cry has already started about "assault weapons".
We have got to accept the fact that mental illness occurs in the population a lot more often than the population of the hospitals and community centers would lead us to believe. We see lots of episodic and minor illnesses. They come and they go. However, we seem to feel that mental illness only comes on as a really obvious and overt act. By the time the overt act happens, it's often too late.

The senior thesis: Quintessentially Princeton
The capstone of Princeton students' academic journey is the senior thesis, an independent work that requires seniors to pursue original research and scholarship under the guidance of faculty advisers.
Research topics are inspired by learning experiences in and out of the classroom -- on campus or around the world. Known as a quintessential part of the Princeton experience, the senior thesis encourages students to develop as independent thinkers by tackling a rigorous intellectual challenge. This is part of a series of profiles of four students who have met that challenge in the areas of public and international affairs, psychology, English, and civil and environmental engineering.

Revealing the benefits of Colombian drug legalization
Posted April 19, 2010; 12:00 p.m.
The senior thesis often involves a moment of surprise for Princeton students -- a late-night revelation, an insightful conversation with an adviser or an eye-opening encounter abroad. For Gustavo Silva Cano, it came when he realized his research supported drug legalization in Colombia, a conclusion opposing his personal beliefs.
"I was sort of mugged by reality, because I realized that prohibition has really high human costs," Silva Cano said. "That's one of the great things about the thesis -- it's a great intellectual experience."
Silva Cano, who was born and raised in Bogota, Colombia, is majoring in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, and pursuing a certificate in Latin American studies. His thesis is a cost-benefit analysis of drug prohibition and legalization in his home country.
During a summer internship with Colombia's high counselor for reintegration, Silva Cano was assigned to evaluate Colombia's drug crop eradication policy. The project, done after his sophomore year at Princeton, launched his interest in the topic, and he approached Professor Miguel Centeno last spring to serve as his thesis adviser.
"The idea sounded like an excellent one," said Centeno, a professor of sociology and international affairs. "It lent itself to the kind of analysis we're trying to teach here, to put a policy dilemma in context and play out the costs and benefits of the alternatives. Gustavo has a perfect case study of alternatives."
Silva Cano and Centeno came up with a dozen precise variables to consider, such as government defense expenditures, economic growth and homicide rates. Then Silva Cano worked to identify the current figures under prohibition and what the figures might be if all drugs were legalized in Colombia. His primary focus was on coca crops and cocaine -- the target of Colombia's "war on drugs."
In addition to documents he had from his internship, he utilized numerous sources to perform his own statistical analysis, including Colombian government databases and reports online, United Nations documents, U.S. government surveys, U.S. think tank reports, news reports, and scholarly books and journals.
Silva Cano found that Colombia spends approximately $7 billion a year on its drug war, equal to what it spends on education or health care. Meanwhile, the war on drugs has resulted in many deaths, displacement, environmental damage, hostile occupations of the countryside by drug cartels and insurgencies, and pressure on cities.
Silva Cano's thesis adviser Miguel Centeno (right), a professor of sociology and international affairs, said the project "lent itself to the kind of analysis we're trying to teach here, to put a policy dilemma in context and play out the costs and benefits of the alternatives."
If drugs were legalized, those funds could be used for infrastructure, health care, education and balancing the federal budget, Silva Cano noted. The government also would be able to collect tax revenue on the sale of cocaine. About 5,000 fewer homicides would occur, and 100,000 fewer people would be internally displaced, according to his analysis.
The potential costs of legalization included diplomatic isolation from the United States, and possibly economic sanctions and loss of American investment. Silva Cano also considered the health risks due to increased drug consumption in the country, but he said the benefits outweighed all of these costs.
"Before starting to write my thesis I was a staunch believer of prohibition. I thought the Colombian government had done a great job, and they actually have. It might be the only nation in the world recently that has had great success against drugs," Silva Cano said. But, he added, "there's no end in sight."
In his research, Silva Cano consulted Colombian government documents, United Nations documents, U.S. government surveys, U.S. think tank reports, news reports, and scholarly books and journals.
Silva Cano's thesis purposefully avoids ethical and moral issues while examining the political and economic factors that he feels should be part of policymaking decisions.
"Some people just believe that using drugs is morally wrong. I'm trying to make a utilitarian calculus and am saying, this is how much this policy costs," he said. "I don't think any government would want to leave that utilitarian calculus out of the question."
Centeno and Silva Cano have had weekly meetings to discuss research, analysis and drafts. Along the way, Centeno has recommended sources, given writing advice and -- as a skeptic of any state's ability to effectively prohibit drugs -- played devil's advocate to Silva Cano's arguments.
"I like Professor Centeno's hands-on approach," Silva Cano said. "He is so well regarded but also so approachable and so fun to work with."
Centeno said he had not studied drug legalization in depth, but his work on state-society interaction helped guide Silva Cano's work on what makes a state and its laws most effective. The rest was of his student's making.
"No one has written about the Colombian situation with such precision, detachment and so many variables," Centeno said. The final chapter synthesizing all of Silva Cano's findings is "masterful," Centeno said.
Looking at Colombian politics, Silva Cano acknowledges in his thesis that his recommendations are unlikely to happen anytime soon, as they are contrary to popular opinion in Colombia and abroad, and to politicians' stances at the executive and legislative levels.
After graduating from Princeton, Silva Cano intends to attend the University of Pennsylvania Law School and work in the United States for a few years before returning to Colombia to work in public policy or politics.
Centeno and Silva Cano met weekly to discuss research, analysis and drafts. Together they came up with a dozen precise variables to consider in gauging the effectiveness of Colombia's drug war, such as government defense expenditures, economic growth and homicide rates.

Electric Fireplaces
Electric Fireplaces Bring Ambiance & Warmth to Any Room
Electric fireplace heaters make a great addition to your living space for a great multitude of reasons. In addition to providing cozy ambiance in places where having a traditional built-in fireplace is prohibited by either space or cost, electric fireplaces are a great source of supplemental heat that is easier to control than unruly flames.
Most can be operated with or without heat, which allows you to enjoy the inviting glow of the fireplace even when the extra heat is not needed. The technology used in these units is more advanced than ever before, making the flames uncannily lifelike. Maintenance and upkeep you would usually associate with a fireplace are non-issues as electric units do not require any cleaning or routine maintenance.
Placement of your fireplace is only limited by access to an electrical outlet and your imagination. While living rooms and bedrooms are popular choices, with such a wide variety of style options there is sure to be an electric fireplace that can fit just about any space in your home. Some styles, such as the media console units, are even dual purpose making them a functional space saver in addition to a stylish focal point.

text: Back to the original question. I think that this isn't as simple a question as it might at first seem. It might seem fair for everyone to pay the same percentage of their income. Unfortunately, defining "income" has become pretty complicated. Perhaps one should pay a percentage based on what percentage of the national wealth one owns. For 5% to pay 40% of the taxes appears to be grossly unfair, but if that same 5% controls 80% of the nation's wealth, then perhaps it's not so unfair. Maybe the best solution would be a consumption tax (no not for people with TB) that is to say a national sales tax. I don't know. "Fair" share is very difficult to define.

Vitra has manufactured furniture designs by Charles & Ray Eames and George Nelson since 1957. Building on this foundation, Vitra has developed a wide range of furnishings for the office, for the home and for public spaces in collaboration with progressive designers. Yet Vitra is more than just a design-oriented manufacturing company. The name also stands for the Vitra Design Museum, for a collection of modern furniture and its accompanying archive, for workshops and publications on topics of design, and for an architectural concept that unites buildings by Frank Gehry, Nicholas Grimshaw, Zaha Hadid, Tadao Ando, Alvaro Siza, Herzog & de Meuron and SANAA at the Vitra Headquarters in Birsfelden (Switzerland) and on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein (Germany).
Product longevity is central to Vitra's contribution to sustainable development; short-lived styling is avoided at all costs. This can be seen most clearly in the classical pieces of furniture that have been used for decades, had several owners and have then even ended up as a part of a collection. For Vitra, the manufacture of sustainable products means intense pre-production development, where the highest-grade materials are selected and tests are carried out that simulate 15 years of use. In order to enforce and monitor sustainable development in all business activities of the company, a work group was formed in 1986 by the name of 'Vitra and the Environment'. Because of this, Vitra can proudly claim that it has been dedicated to sustainability for nearly a quarter of a century.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 4, 2011
Concours d'Elegance of America Announces 2012 Classes
TROY, MI--The Concours d'Elegance of America is pleased to announce the featured and traditional classes for the 2012 Concours d'Elegance of America at St. John's. Over 300 cars will be on the show field, making it the one of the largest displays of historically important automobiles in the world. The 34th Annual Concours d'Elegance of America will be held at The Inn at St. John's, Plymouth, MI, on Sunday, July 29, 2012, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
2012 Highlights:
American Classic Open 1928 to 1934
In the Classic era the custom coach building trade reached new heights in styling and design. Although the Great Depression affected the automobile industry in sales volume, it also inspired designers to reach out and develop new looks that attracted the buying public's attention. The Concours at St. John's recognizes the excellence in design of this period and will continue to feature the superb and wonderful expressions of this automobile design.
American Classic Open 1935 to 1942
During this period the Great Depression was subsiding and automobile styling entered a new era. No longer were designs tied to the past. The airplane began to influence styling, and streamlining became a major factor in car design. The radiators and windshields now sloped, headlights were integrated into the body, the running board disappeared and the entire body shape evolved into the modern idiom. The early 1940s automobile design had made a complete separation from the design of the early 1930s while looking to the future. In keeping with the emphasis on styling, which has always been important at all Concours, St. John's continues to display the finest design from every era.
Examples from the glory days of the Trans-Am (1966 to 1972) when the racers were primarily modified versions of the road-going car will include early American pony cars and many European marques.
Manufacturers such as McLaren, Chaparral, Lola, BRM, Shadow and Porsche were among the first race cars to sport wings, effective turbocharging, ground-effect aerodynamics, and revolutionary materials such as titanium and carbon fiber in the Can-Am (Canada-American) sports car racing series from 1966 to 1986.
Jaguar & Corvette
Some of the finest early specimens of these two iconic brands will be displayed head to head.
Three-Wheel Motorcycles
"Vintage Three Wheel Motorcycles" with a focus on design, historical significance, original condition and restoration.

With the larger show field, onsite hotel, beautiful weather and many ancillary events, the 2011 Concours was deemed a great success.

UTSA baseball clinches tie for SLC Championship
By Brian Hernandez
UTSA Associate Sports Information Director
(May 14, 2007)--UTSA baseball's head coach Sherman Corbett and his Roadrunners clinched a tie for the SLC Regular Season Championship on Sunday at Nicholls State in Thibodaux, La.
UTSA clinched a tie for its first Southland Conference regular season championship in school history with a hard-fought 2-1 victory on Sunday. The win also tied the SLC record for league wins in a season (22).

The Roadrunners improved to 32-19 overall and it was their eighth victory in nine series finales this year in league play. It wasn't easy, though, as it took a run in the eighth inning to secure the win.
Redshirt freshman Tim Palincsar drew a one-out walk and then moved to third on sophomore Michael Rockett's single through the right side of the infield. Junior Trent Lockwood followed with a ground out to first that brought Palincsar home with the game-winning run.
Josh Blakley (6-0) held the Colonels scoreless over the final 3.2 frames to earn the victory. Blakley fanned five, including four of the final five hitters he faced, and ran his scoreless innings streak to 16.2 innings (nine games). He threw 34 of his 47 pitches for strikes (72.3 percent) and went ahead 0-2 to the final six batters of the contest
Back-to-back one-out doubles by junior Zach Etheredge and senior Mitch Ponza in the second led to UTSA's first run of the day. Nicholls State tied it up in the sixth on Brett Hoeflich's one-out sacrifice fly to center. The inning could have been much worse for the Roadrunners, as the first two batters of the frame reached against UTSA starter Ryan Proudfoot.
Quinton Corley then delivered a single to center field, but Rockett unleashed an outstanding throw to Etheredge to gun down Anthony Wray at the plate. Proudfoot was strong in his ninth start of the year. The freshman right-hander gave up just one run on five hits and fanned four in 5.1 innings of work. Michael Bartek (2-10) went the distance for the Colonels, giving up just seven hits, while punching out eight.
The Roadrunners wrap up the regular season next week with a three-game set against I-35 rival Texas State (34-19, 19-8 SLC). The series kicks off at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday in San Marcos and then moves to Roadrunner Field for the final two contests (6 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. Saturday).
UTSA can clinch the outright conference title and No. 1 seed in the SLC Tournament with one victory against the Bobcats.

TUPELO – Some Tupelo students got a better understanding of how dating violence can affect them and their peers with a production of The Yellow Dress.
The one-woman show is a dramatic performance in which a teenage girl tells the audience about her exciting relationship.
The show was performed for the Lee County Improvement Center and Tupelo Boys & Girls Club Northside campus Thursday and the Tupelo Christian Preparatory School Friday.
Over the arc of the half-hour show, the tone turns dark.
"We talk about the early warning signs of dating violence and different things that can come up," said Rydia Vielehr, the actress portraying the show's sole character, Anna. "It's not about each individual warning sign but the pattern of abuse and how that pattern can show up. It's more about a lot of signs coming up."
The signs Vielehr is talking about include an explosive temper, constant belittling, physical abuse, possessiveness, mood swings, false accusations and extreme jealousy.
Tupelo's S.A.F.E. shelter is sponsoring the production as a part of its Dating Violence Awareness Month programming.
"I go into a lot of places and talk about dating violence and it's just a different way to experience it if someone is speaking about it from a first-person point of view, even it it's a dramatic production," said S.A.F.E. Community Educator Amelia Parkes. "It helps the audience experience it better than me saying, 'Don't do this.'"
After the show, Vielehr leads the students in a discussion about how to prevent dating violence.
