Back to the Kitchen
I haven't gotten around to visiting much lately, so in case you've happened to missed my absence along the way, it is because I had the incredible opportunity to travel to California, not once, but twice, in the last 10 days.
It was a whirlwind trip both times and days filled with a high energy, and very structured schedule, something that being a work from home full time blogger now, well... I'm not exactly used to!
I have so much to share with you, including some just gorgeous, both inside and out, bloggers I met and gals that you should and will definitely want to get to know. After a somewhat scary flight experience though, and one that ended with a full 24 hours just to get home, and literally no sleep for about 34 hours straight, let's just say I'm a bit punch drunk. I finally managed a short nap in this afternoon for a few hours and let me tell you, it was simply heaven.
So, hopefully I'll be able to get pictures uploaded and my brain back in some semblance of function to share some of my recent experiences with you soon, in between a few yummy recipes I have in the pipes for ya too of course!

Hi, I was wondering where the photo was taken. The veggie vendor is from my town. Would have loved to have met you if you were here. Love your blog.ReplyDelete
Welcome back! Am looking forward to the story and the pictures. I lived in San Diego for 3 years when I was in my twenties. Loved it out there.ReplyDelete
Welcome home weary traveler..get some rest to get your zest back..we'll be right here waiting for you..ReplyDelete
Hey Tracey! That vendor in the photo was apparently from Fresno, but it was a vendor that was at the ferry landing in San Francisco! I fell in love with that farmers market - though it was so crowded it was difficult not to constantly bump into people. Besides the usual traffic for that event, there was a lot going on in San Francisco that weekend. I was however in Fresno on the second trip - wish I had known you lived there!!ReplyDelete
Thanks Debbie and Faith! So glad to be home.
Sounds exciting! Looking forward to hearing more once you've rested up :DReplyDelete

Practitioners in the field of psychiatry can rest a little easier now that their key antagonist, Dr. Thomas Szasz, has passed. The obituary in the New York Times noted that Szasz "questioned the legitimacy of his field" (he was trained as a psychiatrist) and so enraged the true believers in the efficacy of enforced psychiatric diagnosis and treatment that he successfully made "enemies of many fellow doctors." He died at his home on Saturday after a fall at age 92.
His first book, The Myth of Mental Illness (the first of 36 published during his lifetime, along with hundreds of articles), was seminal. It laid the groundwork — some would say charted the battleground — for the rest of his life's work: the exposure of psychiatry as chicanery and a fraud, calling it "in the company of alchemy and astrology."
He argued for freedom from the very first, which meant he opposed coercive treatments, involuntary confinement, and the use of psychiatric diagnoses in the court system, calling them unscientific and unethical. New York State prohibited him from teaching at a state hospital despite his position as a professor of psychiatry at the State University of New York Heath Science Center located in Syracuse, New York.
His position was that a diagnosis of mental illness "is not something a person has, but is something he does or is. There is no medical, moral or legal justification for involuntary psychiatric interventions. They are crimes against humanity."
His point of view was based on natural law and classical liberalism, which claims that each person owns his own body and as a result enjoys — or should enjoy — the right to be free from violence imposed by others. Specifically he believed that the practice of medicine and the sale and use of drugs should be private, contractual, and outside the realm of any state or federal jurisdiction.
The more he studied psychiatry the more persuaded he became of the fictitious character of "mental disorders" and "mental illness" and the resulting damage done by so-called psychiatric "treatments." Early on he set himself the task of delegitimizing the agencies and authorities promoting psychiatric legitimacy, including psychiatrists and other mental health professionals.
He had the gift of simplifying the complex and of expressing his outrage in terms that defenders of the faith couldn't rebut. He described psychiatry's definition of "mental illness" as a metaphor for behavior that others considered to be outrageous and offensive. Wrote Szasz:
If you talk to God, you are praying. If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia. If the dead talk to you, you are a spiritualist. If you talk to the dead, you are a schizophrenic.
Szasz demanded that the profession define a disease as it is defined in medicine: "malfunctions of the human body, of the heart, the liver, the kidney, the brain." It must be confirmed by being able to be measured or tested in some scientific fashion and must demonstrate the disease at the cellular or molecular level. If it can't be confirmed that way, according to Szasz, then it can't be called a disease. Accordingly, "no behavior or misbehavior is a disease or can be a disease. That's not what diseases are."
Szasz pointed to the difference between "heart break" and "heart attack" and between "spring fever" and "typhoid fever" as belonging to two completely different logical categories, saying that treating them the same way constitutes the promotion of a myth. Diagnoses of "mental illness," according to Szasz, are merely judgments that are used to support the use of coercion and force by psychiatric authorities.
His logic in exposing the myth was breath-taking and devastating.
In his review of Szasz' book Our Right to Drugs: The Case for a Free Market, Daniel Klein noted that Szasz's compendium of intellectual expression "represents one of history's most passionate and penetrating explorations of the moral constitution of the libertarian idea. Here he is in the company of [Wilhelm] von Humboldt, [John Stewart] Mill, [Herbert] Spencer and [H.L.] Mencken."
In this volume, Szasz reminded his readers that in 1906, "although virtually all of the drugs of which we are now deathly afraid were freely available, there was nothing even remotely resembling a 'drug problem.'" Klein summarized Szasz's stand against the War on Drugs trenchantly:
The Drug War [stands] against the presumption of individual choice and for the presumption of the state as forbidding father and succoring mother.
The American people are correspondingly degraded. They knuckle under to belligerent paternalistic dictates, they acquiesce in the face of draconian police measures, they learn to fear and respect medical experts who enjoy state power….
They willingly imbibe the indoctrination of so-called drug education programs, and they mouth the intolerant dogma of the [anti-drug] crusade.
Szasz took advantage of every opportunity given him to express his point of view. As a regular columnist at The Freeman, he offered blistering insights and lobbed verbal grenades at the psychiatric establishment. In March 2011, at age 91, he wrote a column entitled "The Shame of Medicine: Celebrating Coercion" in which he likened psychiatric treatment to slavery:
The State-sanctioned forcible control of one group of innocent persons by another group of persons authorized to control them is, of course, as old as civilization. We call its prototype "slavery." Justified by religious and philosophical authorities, the supporters of such systems of institutionalized domination-submission always felt morally superior to those who rejected their reasoning and opposed their power. Today, the system based on the same age-old rationalizations is called "psychiatry." I have renamed it "psychiatric slavery."
"If slavery is not wrong," declared Abraham Lincoln, "nothing is wrong. I cannot remember when I did not so think, and feel." Slavery is wrong because it empowers one group of persons to deprive another group of liberty on the ground of who they are, not of what they do.
I knew very little about Lincoln when I grew up in post-World War I Hungary. But I did recognize, as a gut feeling, that if the domination of the mental patient by the psychiatrist is not wrong, then nothing is wrong. I cannot remember when I did not so think and feel.
He ended his article by noting the change in the psychiatric profession over the years:
Sixty years ago, when I was young, the psychiatrist was embarrassed by his role as coercer. Now, when I am old, he is proud of it. That, in my opinion, is the sum total of the "progress" achieved by modern, "scientific psychiatry."
Thomas Szasz was a libertarian warrior laboring in a field unfamiliar to many involved in the freedom fight. But he knew, almost from the beginning, that it was a battle he was called to wage. Happily his legacy lives on.

"I've been to Scarborough International School twice now, first taking a Teen Vacation course and then, two years later, an Intensive General English for 6 months. The staff are amazing and lovely people, the teachers are professional; if the school wasn't amazing I wouldn't have gone there twice and you know what, I would go there a the third time, but the next time with my brothers. About Scarborough, it's a very nice and safe place to visit and live, you could have a nice time on the lovely beach.

"I lived my first experience abroad two years ago in Scarborough and, if I was a bit reluctant at the beginning because I was alone, I had to get used to my host family′s routine and I didn′t know the town I would stay in for two weeks, the students I met at school, my new teachers and all the staff managed to make me feel at home. To be honest, you can enjoy a Teen Vacation with your friends even within the borders of your own country, but at Scarborough International School I found a special atmosphere: students coming from all over the world have the opportunity to tell each other about their culture, habits and plans for the future, as if they knew each other very well. In fact I believe this intercultural exchange is the true novelty which I was impressed with. In addition, Scarborough is a nice town with some relaxing leafy areas, the places I visited on my school excursions in Yorkshire were dramatic and interesting, while the afternoon and evening activities proposed were really enjoyable. To sum up, I was absolutely satisfied with my SIS experience so that I decided to have another Teen Vacation there this year."

The organisation of the school immediately gave us a series of guarantees: our homestay accommodation was arranged with a family who had a young daughter, the study programme was balanced and well-adapted to the needs of both father and daughter."

Humanities Endowment Awards $1.7 Million for Three Special Projects and Five at Libraries and Archives
Three earn recognition as We the People projects
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) today announced grants of more than $1.7 million for implementation of eight public humanities projects, including five at libraries and archives.
Three of these have been designated as We the People projects, a special recognition by the NEH for model projects that advance the study, teaching, and understanding of American history and culture:
- The New York Historical Society in New York City will receive $218,000 to implement a national tour of a panel exhibition, website, catalog, and public programs interpreting Alexander Hamilton's role in the creation of American government and culture;
- Michigan State University, East Lansing, will receive $284,993 to develop a web-based archive of catalogued segments from American Black Journal, one of the longest running television programs focusing on African-American culture and public affairs; and
- The National Foundation for Jewish Culture in New York City will receive $99,520 to implement a series of 30 programs at ten venues across the United States examining key American Jewish texts that illuminate the intersection of Jewish and mainstream culture.
"From Renaissance manuscripts, to Alexander Hamilton's role in America, to African-American television programming, these NEH grants will strengthen the intellectual and cultural life of the nation," said NEH Chairman Bruce Cole. "Public programs and traveling exhibitions give new audiences access to the great ideas, events, and individuals of history."
With other grants announced today by NEH, the Newberry Library in Chicago, Ill., will implement an exhibition of books, manuscripts, maps, art, and photographs to explore the encounters of Native Americans with Lewis and Clark's U.S. Corps of Discovery between 1804 and 1806 and to examine the impact of those encounters during the past 200 years; Nebraska's Opera Omaha will implement a series of lectures, talks, and seminars exploring the social, political, and historical influences that inspired the four productions in the 2004-05 season; the New York Public Library will implement an exhibition, catalog, website, and public programs about the making, ownership, influence, and aesthetics of Medieval and Renaissance illuminated manuscripts; National Video Resources in New York City will implement a series of scholar-led film and reading and discussion programs at 50 U.S. libraries examining the military, social, and political history of the United States during the World War I era; and Poets House, Inc., also of New York City, will implement reading and discussion programs, bus and subway posters, and a companion website exploring 20th-century poetry.
NEH grants are awarded on a competitive basis. Throughout the year, humanities experts outside of the Endowment and members of the National Council on the Humanities consider all applications and advise NEH on the quality and significance of each proposed project.

Winemakers told to stop whining
Local wine makers must stop whining about the high Australian dollar and back themselves to win their share of global sales, says producer Australian Vintage.
The company said on Tuesday that it had secured an extra $5 million a year in cashflow by striking new average six-year lease deals on its NSW and South Australian vineyards at a 32 per cent reduced cost.
However, Australian Vintage chief executive Neil McGuigan said the industry had been a tough one for local producers to succeed in recent years, due largely to over-supply.
Its share of exports had declined and was Australia's sixth largest agricultural export in 2011, earning $1.92 billion down from about $2.24 billion.
At the same time Australia made great wine and it was up to local wine makers to be innovative and creative to convince foreign consumers of that, Mr McGuigan said.
"You've got to make the wine the hero," he told AAP.
"You can keep on saying you will wait for the exchange rate to change to fix the financial woes of the wine industry... you can come up with all the excuses.
"But look at the positives the wine industry has: Australian wine even at the dollar we have is arguably the best value wine in the world.
"Be innovative with wine styles ... if you don't go and plant other varieties and keep whining and whingeing then Spain and Argentina will have a bit of a spike."
Mr McGuigan said his company had done exactly that, launching a semillon blanc to take on New Zealand's dominance of that area in the United Kingdom.
It was also targeting the low alcohol wine segment in the UK, where tax breaks existed.
The comments echo similar sentiments made recently by global giant Treasury Wine Estates' boss David Dearie, who criticised the Australian wine industry for a lack of innovation.
Australian Vintage's chairman Ian Ferrier also warned that the oversupply issues that had crippled the industry still existed, despite having subsided recently due to a weak harvest in Europe this year.
European wines tend to be sold for less than Australian wines, with the high dollar and rising production costs including electricity impacting.
Mr McGuigan said he had been able to negotiate the lower lease costs with respect to global over-supply issues, while securing the quality of its own grape supply.
Australian Vintage has signed a deal with Belvino Investments and QWIL Investments on vineyards supplying 45,000 tonnes of grapes.
Belvino and QWIL would also contribute $3.45 million towards redeveloping ageing vineyards and permanent water purchases to drought-proof wineries.
Australian Vintage brands include McGuigan, Miranda, Nepenthe and Tempus Two.
The company's shares were up more than three per cent at 49 cents at 1440 AEDT.

End-of-life notice: American Legal Ethics Library
As of March 1, 2013, the Legal Information Institute is no longer maintaining the information in the American Legal Ethics Library. It is no longer possible for us to maintain it at a level of completeness and accuracy given its staffing needs. It is very possible that we will revive it at a future time. At this point, it is in need of a complete technological renovation and reworking of the "correspondent firm" model which successfully sustained it for many years.
Many people have contributed time and effort to the project over the years, and we would like to thank them. In particular, Roger Cramton and Peter Martin not only conceived ALEL but gave much of their own labor to it. We are also grateful to Brad Wendel for his editorial contributions, to Brian Toohey and all at Jones Day for their efforts, and to all of our correspondents and contributors. Thank you.
We regret any inconvenience.
Some portions of the collection may already be severely out of date, so please be cautious in your use of this material.
Indiana Rules of Professional Conduct
Comment - Rule 3.9
[1] In representation before bodies such as legislatures, municipal councils, and executive and administrative agencies acting in a rule-making or policy-making capacity, lawyers present facts, formulate issues and advance argument in the matters under consideration. The decision-making body, like a court, should be able to rely on the integrity of the submissions made to it. A lawyer appearing before such a body must deal with it honestly and in conformity with applicable rules of procedure. See Rules 3.3(a) through (c), 3.4(a) through (c) and 3.5.
[2] Lawyers have no exclusive right to appear before nonadjudicative bodies, as they do before a court. The requirements of this Rule therefore may subject lawyers to regulations inapplicable to advocates who are not lawyers. However, legislatures and administrative agencies have a right to expect lawyers to deal with them as they deal with courts.
[3] This Rule only applies when a lawyer represents a client in connection with an official hearing or meeting of a governmental agency or a legislative body to which the lawyer or the lawyer's client is presenting evidence or argument. It does not apply to representation of a client in a negotiation or other bilateral transaction with a governmental agency or in connection with an application for a license or other privilege or the client's compliance with generally applicable reporting requirements, such as the filing of income-tax returns. Nor does it apply to the representation of a client in connection with an investigation or examination of the client's affairs conducted by government investigators or examiners. Representation in such matters is governed by Rules 4.1 through 4.4.

Epilepsy Diagnosis and Treatment
Epilepsy is a neurological disorder in which the brain experiences abnormal, synchronous behavior which results in a seizure. About one in 100 people in the United States have experienced an epileptic seizure or been clinically diagnosed with epilepsy.
About 80% of these cases can be easily treated with medication or surgery, while the remaining patients currently untreatable. In some cases, usually involving children and adolescents, symptoms may simply end.
Before diagnosing epilepsy, a thorough review of medical records of past seizures are consulted and blood tests are run to ensure that epilepsy is indeed the reason the seizures are occurring.
Epilepsy is diagnosed using:
- Brain imaging
- Symptom observation
Brain imaging is the most useful tool for clinically assessing epilepsy. When combined with symptom observation epilepsy experts are able to confidently diagnosis the type of epilepsy and make a recommendation about how to treat the condition. The imaging techniques used to assess brain function vary but include CT (computed tomography) scans, fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging), or the non-visual EEG which yields graphs of electrical activity.
As mentioned in the introduction the first line of defense against epilepsy is a pharmaceutical option as prescribed by their doctor. This is the least imposing on the patient and more often than not proves effective. Commonly prescribed drugs include:
- Carbamazapine
- Valproate
- Lamotrigine
- Oxcarbazepine
- Phenytoin
These medications can suppress symptoms, but other medications may be needed for specific types of epilepsy. Once the drug has kept the patient seizure-free for a long period of time (usually between two and five years) doctors will recommend that the patient cease its use.
The second option for treating epilepsy is usually surgery to remove the part or parts of the brain malfunctioning that are causing the seizures. Doctors make their diagnosis about how appropriate surgery is depending on the chance for negative effects associated with the section of the brain to be removed. If the seizures occur in the motor cortex, for example, paralysis is a potential outcome and may make the patient unsuitable for surgery.
A third treatment for epilepsy is device implantation. A vagus nerve stimulator is a fairly recent biomedical technology approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1997 to help control seizures. Once implanted, the device stimulates the vagus nerve. This treatment is only mildly effective as it reduces most patients' seizures by 30% on average. Also, before considering this option, patients should be aware that they will need to continue taking their antiepileptic medication post-implantation.

In this age of mass communication, it is no surprise that the media is an extremely influential and powerful force in today's society. Research has shown that newspapers are the public's primary source of information on topics pertaining to the environment.1
A 2001 study conducted on media coverage and public perception of beach closings in Southern California:
- Found that 74 percent of local residents obtained information on beach closings from the media.2
- The study concluded that the public's perception of beach water quality is often in disagreement with the actual environmental conditions.
Typically, a person's initial perception of water quality is based entirely on the aesthetic characteristics of the water and the surrounding environment. Aspects such as water color, clarity, odor, and the existence of waste material (litter and debris) influence a person's opinion of water quality despite the fact that these aesthetic features often have little or no association with the actual physical, chemical, and biological quality of the aquatic system.3 Information in the media does little to enlighten the public about these and other misconceptions.
Unfortunately, the media's portrayal of environmental issues is too often in reaction to disastrous events. As a result, the general public receives information of environmental threats after the fact, so that people are unable to play an influential and proactive role in the political process,4 particularly with problems relating to public health. Overall, people in the United States feel dissatisfied with water quality, though they rank social and economic concerns as more important. It is only when water quality issues become a health threat, such as when beaches are closed because of fecal pollution, that the public concern for water quality becomes a top priority.5 Therefore, it is vital that water resource management policies and practices be based on strong scientific information as opposed to the seemingly haphazard and sometimes contradictory information communicated to the general public through the mass media.
The majority of Americans depend on the media to help them comprehend the complexity of environmental issues.6 News media, such as newspapers, radio, television, and the Internet, have the ability to communicate information to vast and diverse audiences; therefore, these entities have both the opportunity to educate the public about water quality issues as well as the responsibility to use objective, accurate, and credible sources of information when conveying this information.
We have examined media coverage of a highly charged environmental issue: beach closings around Milwaukee, Wisconsin. This Great Lakes area has experienced numerous beach closings over the past several years, and the community is under intense public scrutiny for its periodic releases of partially and untreated sewage into Lake Michigan. We wanted to understand the "disconnect" between public perception and real health risks because it has both direct and indirect consequences on the resources in our communities. Public risk perception affects how people use water for both household and recreational purposes, which in turn influences how municipalities structure their water resource management policies.5
The BEACH Act
In response to growing public concern over the quality of coastal waters, the United States Congress passed the Beach Environmental Assessment and Coastal Health (BEACH) Act in 2000 to decrease or eliminate the health risk by reducing public exposure to recreational waters potentially contaminated with fecal pollution.
The BEACH Act mandates that levels of indicator bacteria, such as total coliforms, fecal coliforms, enterococci, or Escherichia coli (E. coli), be monitored in recreational water bodies.
Currently, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends a water quality advisory when levels of the indicator bacteria exceed a certain level; for E. coli, which is the indicator often used in fresh water, the recommended limit is 235 colony forming units (CFU) in 100 milliliters of water.
These "indicator" bacteria are used to assess the potential public health risk because they are found in the gastrointestinal tracts of all warm-blooded animals. Their presence in surface waters is an indication of fecal pollution.7 Indicator bacteria do not necessarily pose a direct health risk to humans but do suggest the likely presence of harmful pathogens, such as Salmonella, Shigella, noraviruses, enteroviruses, Cryptosporidium, and Giardia, that are found in both human and non-human sources of fecal pollution and are considered health threats.8
Sources of bacterial pollution
Bacterial pollution in coastal waters is caused by a combination of point and nonpoint sources of pollution. Although point sources of bacterial contamination (e.g., industry, wastewater treatment facilities) are significant, nonpoint source pollution poses a much greater threat to the integrity of recreational water bodies because it comprises a diverse mixture of chemical and biological contaminants and is discharged from countless undefined sites within a given watershed. Pollutants accumulate in storm water as it is washed off impervious surfaces and discharged into local waterways. With increasing urbanization of the nation's coastal areas, pollution of waterways by storm water is a growing concern. In a report to Congress, the EPA states that nonpoint sources of pollution are the greatest threat to the nation's water quality.9 Examples of point and nonpoint sources of pollution include these:
- Sanitary sewage overflows (SSOs)
- Combined sewer overflows (CSOs)
- Septic systems
- Boating waste discharge
- Urban storm water runoff
- Agricultural runoff
- Waste from domestic pets and wildlife
Human health risk
Human fecal pollution is largely attributed to sewage overflows and constitutes the greatest public health threat because humans are reservoirs for human pathogens including bacteria, protozoa, and viruses.10 Animal fecal waste is also a serious health concern as it may contain pathogens such as Cryptosporidium, E. coli 0157:H7, or Salmonella and may enter recreational water bodies by means of contaminated runoff.11 Epidemiological data demonstrate that swimming in sewage-contaminated water is associated with gastroenteritis and inflammation of the eyes, ears, skin, nasal membranes, and upper respiratory tract. The likelihood of contracting these symptoms increases with the concentration of pollution and length of exposure to polluted water.12
Given the complexity of surface water systems and the potential health hazards associated with biological contaminants, better assessment tools are needed to evaluate regional water quality in the nearshore area of coastal waters.
Past studies have demonstrated that biological pollutants are difficult to track over long distances because of dilution and poor survivorship in large water bodies such as Lake Michigan.13
In these studies, it was shown that contamination at beach sites is most often associated with localized sources of pollution such as storm water runoff from outfalls located within the immediate vicinity of the beach, as opposed to regional contamination events such as sewage overflows which are more diffuse and accordingly impact a much larger portion of the nearshore region of Lake Michigan.
Studies conducted at beaches along Lake Michigan found that elevated E. coli levels frequently corresponded with rainfall and were attributed to the presence of large shore bird populations and runoff from storm water discharged from outfalls and impervious surfaces in the vicinity of swimming areas.13
As a result, localized contamination inputs can confound the detection of regional contamination events, making it difficult to assess the potential health risk. Simply testing for the indicator organism E. coli, which does not survive for extended periods of time in Lake Michigan, may not be sufficient. One study demonstrated a 90 percent reduction in fecal indicator bacteria within 6 to 8 hours of release into Lake Michigan.14 It is difficult to track the ultimate fate of sewage overflows and storm water as it is distributed in the nearshore region, and more advanced methods are needed for tracking major water pollution episodes in the Great Lakes.
Media coverage of environmental issues and public perception
It is extremely difficult for the average person to gauge the quality of water at a local beach site, so people turn to the media to obtain information about beach water conditions.1 However, environmental issues present a considerable challenge to reporters because they represent the clash between urban development and conservation interests and, as a result, are frequently met with political and economic resistance.15
A multitude of studies have been conducted throughout the country to investigate the reasons for beach closings. Beach closing investigations performed at urban beaches in Huntington Beach, California; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Chicago, Illinois have concluded that storm water runoff and resident waterfowl populations contribute significant loads of E. coli to beach areas and thus are the primary factors influencing beach water quality at these sites.13,17-19 Yet in most of these cases, the media blamed sewage overflows for the contamination.
Research suggests that media coverage of environmental issues is often a compromise between scientific evidence and economic interests.16 Given that U.S. newspapers rely heavily on the economic support of their advertisers, it is in their financial interest not to publish articles that conflict with the viewpoints of their primary financial contributors. For example, a recent study conducted on the media coverage of global warming determined that despite scientific evidence identifying global warming as a pressing environmental problem, the validity of this scientific theory continues to be discussed in the media, though rarely among scientists in the field.15 The authors of the study analyzed the content of 100 articles about the greenhouse effect and determined that the perspectives of big business, in this case the fossil fuel interests comprising the coal, oil, and automobile industries, were discussed at length in nearly all articles, while the scientific viewpoint generally reported to the public was that of the 1 percent of scientific experts who dispute the claim that global warming is real. Unfortunately, this phenomenon is not limited to global warming but is a common feature of the coverage controversial environmental issues get, especially those issues with economic implications.15
In addition, using mass media for environmental risk communication can be problematic because newspapers are not necessarily sources of balanced information. Because of time pressures, journalists work on the quick turnaround of stories and spend minimal time reviewing technical documents. Instead they rely on their key informants, which can potentially bias their interpretation of the scientific data.1
Even with the recent publicity and scientific evidence documenting the severe impacts of polluted storm water in coastal areas, people continue to perceive sewage overflows, major industries, and trash as the major sources of bacterial contamination in coastal systems.5 However, the evidence shows storm water is considered the largest threat to water quality in the United States.9 The urbanization of coastal areas has led to dramatic increases in storm water runoff and the subsequent degradation of water quality in coastal regions. Given the confusing and somewhat misleading information printed in the media regarding water pollution, it is not surprising that the public has a difficult time recognizing the leading sources of fecal pollution in surface waters.
Case study: Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The perception that human sewage pollution is the leading source of contamination at beaches is not limited to the popular press. In fact, a Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) report published in 2004 listed the percentage of posted water quality advisories for beaches in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, that were attributed to sewage contamination: 62 percent in 2000, 100 percent in 2001, and 90 percent in 2002.11 The NRDC's report that 100 percent of the water quality advisories were caused from sewage pollution is questionable, based on the scientific studies conducted at one of the locations. South Shore Beach has had the highest number of water quality advisories of beaches in the area and was the subject of an intensive study of 40 surveys conducted from 2001 to 2003.13 This study demonstrated that South Shore Beach is impacted by local sources of pollution and rarely impacted by regional contamination events such as sewage overflows. Several points of evidence supported these conclusions:
Spatial water quality surveys that spanned the nearshore regions demonstrated that the high levels of E. coli were limited to the first 10 meters from the shoreline.
E. coli levels in offshore waters (50 to 150 meters) were below detectable limits.
Bacterial levels detected in storm water runoff collected directly from the parking lot was found to be between 9,000 and 100,000 E. coli per 100 milliliters.
The parking lot comprises almost two city blocks of impervious surfaces that drain into the beach area by way of a boat ramp.
Bacterial source tracking studies revealed that the elevated levels of E. coli from the swimming area were attributed to the large ring-billed gull and waterfowl populations and storm water runoff.
Out of 48 newspaper articles analyzed during this study, 40 percent concluded that sewage pollution was the primary source of bacterial contamination at beaches in southeastern Wisconsin, regardless of any scientific evidence to support these claims. Furthermore, 50 percent of the articles published cast doubt on the scientific premise that beach closings are caused by local sources of pollution, despite the scientific evidence of a direct correlation between large waterfowl populations and urban storm water runoff and the elevated bacteria levels in nearshore waters.
Public perception of water quality has direct implications on a person's behavior and ultimately the integrity of the natural environment.2 Beach closings are complex environmental issues with both public health and economic consequences. Many coastal communities depend on income generated by tourism during the beach season, and consequently water quality advisories at local beaches can have potentially devastating impacts on the economy of a beach community. In addition, the public has become increasingly pessimistic about coastal water quality and beach health because of the rise in beach closures and water quality advisories nationwide. For that reason the public needs better information:
People must be given accurate and unbiased information concerning the primary threats impacting coastal water bodies so they can do their part to improve water quality conditions in these regions.
Scientists must reach out to educate journalists and the public to improve their understanding of environmental problems. By responding to media requests for information, participating in public forums, and utilizing websites to educate, scientists can help close the gap between scientific knowledge and public perception.
Through exposure to accurate information, personal experience, and persistence, people will become informed about the true threats to the environment and perhaps alter their daily activities accordingly.

A foodie, a baker, and a chocolatier
First, a tip of the hat to theuneditedfoodie for his recommendation of Chris Glen's breads. Thank you, Raj!
Because of Raj's comment on a recent blog of mine about Fervere Bakery, my wife and I made a jaunt down to The Bad Seed market in the 1900 block of McGee Street in Kansas City. It's a funky little (with emphasis on funky and little) marketplace that features different providers of everything from hand-crafted soaps to free-range chicken (and eggs) to breads to produce. Plus a few other things that I probably missed. It is open on Friday evenings from 4:00-8:00. The market has recently added a new vendor of artisanal breads, The New Traditionalist.
You may have noticed that The New Traditionalist, aka Chris Glen, was quite outspoken in his praise of Fevere's products. On the one hand, that's a very gracious acknowledgement of a competitor. On the other hand, Chris knows whereof he speaks because his own breads are equally praiseworthy.
I purchased a loaf of his whole wheat bread. It is a naturally leavened bread consisting of organic whole wheat, water, and sea salt. You can't get much more elemental than that.
Shaped as a batard, the loaf was boldly baked,
which enhances the play of flavors between crust and crumb. The crumb texture is very light and open. No bricks here.
You can see that the crumb is open, laced with bubbles of all different sizes. The sheen of the cell walls attests to full gelatinzation of the starch. Chris shares a commercial kitchen with another business, baking his breads in pizza ovens. That isn't an ideal setup but Chris has found a way to go beyond his circumstances instead of being limited by them. As I write this, I realize that I ought to have asked Chris what flour he uses. It appears to be very finely ground since large flecks of bran aren't evident in the crumb.
Now, you may have wondered why I mentioned a chocolatier in the title for this blog. That has to do with a bit of geographic serendipity. Christopher Elbow Chocolates has a store exactly one block north of The Bad Seed. In appearance, it is everything that The Bad Seed is not. Glamorous. Gleaming. Elegant. Refined. Although Elbow refers to his products as artisanal, one would not be far off the mark by referring to them as art. We, naturally, did not leave empty-handed. Once my wife spotted the toffee robed in dark chocolate and covered with toasted pecans, the deal was sealed.
There is a greater serendipity at work here than just geographic location. The one that I was surprised by this evening has to do with flavor, with maximizing the potential of the ingredients. I had savored two or three slices of Chris' whole wheat bread with a bowl of soup at dinner, marveling at the richness of the flavors he had teased from such simple ingredients. And then the stunner: I tasted many of those same flavors in a piece of Christopher's toffee when I had it for dessert. Yes, there were differences. The candy, for instance, tasted nothing of wheat or levain and the bread wasn't nearly so sweet as the candy. But both the candy and the bread shared flavor notes of nuts, of toast, of chocolate, of deeply roasted malt, of butter. I am frustrated by my inadequacy in providing an accurate description of what I sensed, because there was so much more than I can put down here in words. The parallels were so clear, so surprising, and I would have missed them entirely if I had not eaten the two in close succession. Beyond the specific flavors, the bread and the toffee each displayed a respect by their makers for the ingredients, as well as a willingness to apply skill and technique to realize every potential locked in those ingredients.
Thank you, Chris, for a superb loaf of bread. May The New Traditionalist prosper.

Insurance Auto Auctions sends cease and desist letter to citizens group
Insurance Auto Auctions, which hopes to open in East Dundee, has fired back at a Barrington Hills-based citizens group that mailed a flier to more than 2,400 East Dundee residents, one the group says legitimately outlines its pollution concerns about the business.
But IAA doesn't see it that way. On Monday, Mary Mullin, an attorney representing IAA, mailed a cease and desist letter to the Northwest Suburban Citizens for Clean Water, which accused the group of "intentionally and/or recklessly circulating false and misleading information about IAA in violation of applicable defamation laws."
IAA sells totaled vehicles to the highest bidder and hopes to build a 12,000-square-foot building and 34 acres of outdoor storage north of Route 72 at Commonwealth Drive in a reclaimed gravel pit in East Dundee.
The property lies near the Spring Lake Forest Preserve and would back up to Barrington Hills' Pond Gate Farms. Subdivision residents, along with others in neighboring communities, started the movement against IAA. In the mailing, the group -- which now numbers more than 320 -- says it's concerned leaky fluids from the vehicles will pollute the local groundwater. Besides the flier, the group's opposition efforts have involved a petition opposing IAA and frequent appearances at East Dundee village board meetings.
The letter from the IAA attorney addresses four allegations the citizens group recently made about the company's business practices in a recent mailer.
In the letter, IAA essentially says it is not a junkyard, that it does not have a long history of polluting its communities and that the chances of it polluting the local groundwater supply with leaky auto fluids are remote.
IAA also explains in the letter that it moved to a polluted waterway in Washington State three years after it was declared a superfund site, and that it and other entities along the waterway have been asked to provide information to the federal EPA. An EPA spokesman has said IAA and more than 100 other entities in that area are being investigated to determine who polluted the waterway.
IAA accuses the group of using the mail, Facebook and an Internet petition to defame the company and is ordering it to stop.
But Marvin Husby, one of the members of the group who wrote the flier, takes exception to that characterization.
Husby lives in Pond Gate Farms and said he wrote the flier based on information from IAA's 2011 financial report, documents from Barrington Hills about pollution concerns and a visit to the IAA facility in Wheeling. The group will meet to discuss its next move and has until Dec. 7 to respond to IAA's demand.
"IAA's trying to muzzle the community group," Husby said. "We plan to try to continue to gain support against the project and if I was an East Dundee resident, I would be concerned to have a corporate citizen within my village who, when they have a dispute with their neighbor, runs to their attorneys."

Thanks! I know that "to love" and "αγαπαν" are not equivalent in all usages; let me use Greek instead then. I was referring to the equivalence between:Stephen Carlson wrote:I realize that's your opinion. That's pretty clear. What's not entirely clear how well you understand what we're saying about the difference in Aktionsart (also known as actionality, lexical aspect, situation type, procedural characteristics, Vendlerian classifications, etc.). In English, "love" is a state verb. In Greek, however, ἀγαπάω can refer to a state or an activity, depending on context, as BDAG and other lexica indicate.David Lim wrote:Anyway I was saying that "ἠγάπησεν" has the same meaning regardless of whether it is used with its cognate noun or not.
Due to your heavy reliance in this thread on English paraphrases that acknowledge only stative meanings for ἀγαπάω (including the formulations "had love for" and "felt love for"), it sounds like you are assuming that English "love" and Greek ἀγαπάω must be equivalent even in terms of Aktionsart. This is a mistake, and the best way to avoid this mistaken assumption is to consult an appropriate lexicon, such as BDAG, and look at the range of meanings the verb has.
(1) "η αγαπη ην ο θεος ειχεν εν ημιν" / "η αγαπη ην ο θεος ηγαπησεν ημας"
(2) "ινα αγαπην εχητε εν αλληλοις" / "ινα υμεις αγαπατε αλληλους"
Because of these (taken from the NT with minor modifications) I said that I think the accusative cognate noun essentially makes no difference in meaning. Furthermore I believe that the use of the cognate noun actually makes the verb more clearly denote a feeling/attitude of love rather than an activity. Or do you have any examples from Greek literature where such a construction was used and clearly cannot refer to a state?

(Denver Post, Dec. 29) Unlike Washington, DC, where divided government will continue in 2013, the new year in Colorado will bring a return of unified control by Democrats. On Jan. 9, Rep. Mark Ferrandino (D-Denver) takes the speaker's gavel from Rep. Frank McNulty (R-Highlands Ranch), whose GOP majority was ousted by voters in November. If you visit the state House that day, you'll notice that Democrats are mostly seated to Speaker's left, Republicans mostly to the right. The custom dates from the French Revolution, when legislators enthusiastic for political activism massed on the left side of the chamber, while those more skeptical massed opposite them. As Ferrandino assumes power alongside incoming Senate President John Morse (D-Colorado Springs) and Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper, Colorado's party of the left has another chance to show what it can do with dominance under the Gold Dome, an advantage Dems last enjoyed in 2007-2011. My housewarming gift, as a friendly opponent, is a memo from voters they probably didn't persuade this time.
Colorado Christian University, where I work, polled some 1300 Coloradans shortly before the 2012 election with an automated phone survey by SmartVoice.com. We went for a center-right sample, with 44% of respondents self-described as conservative and 30% as moderate. Their views on the role of government may help caution Democrats against overreach while providing Republicans a roadmap to relevance.
The CCU-SmartVoice poll asked about the best way of fostering prosperity, protecting liberty, helping the less fortunate, improving the schools, and encouraging people to treat each other decently. That is, most of what we want in living together. In prioritizing what civil society can do voluntarily, over what activist government might promise, respondents reminded us the left isn't the whole ballgame – not yet, at least.
What's the key factor in higher living standards? Free enterprise, said 45% of center-right Coloradans. Better education was next with 38%. Government programs were named by only 9%.
What's most important in improving America as a free society? "Revival of our founding principles," said 54% of poll respondents. Federal, state, and local government were named by 28%. Just 18% chose "progressive reform like most other countries."
What factor matters most in providing for children, the elderly, and the disabled, the poll also asked. Families and churches were cited by 46% of those polled, voluntary private charity by another 18%. Only about one respondent in three, 36%, said government programs matter most.
The citizens typified in this particular survey obviously weren't the voting majority that gave Democrats a 37-28 edge in the Colorado House. But Speaker Ferrandino would be unwise to ignore them if he seeks to govern with broad consensus. And House Minority Leader Mark Waller (R-Colorado Springs) should forcefully advocate for them during the upcoming session.
The teachers-union agenda, for example, calls for raising taxes by a billion dollars and softening tests, while blocking vouchers and charter schools. But the center-right agenda for education, as reflected in CCU's poll, finds parental choice prioritized by 42% and higher standards by another 27%, whereas more spending is favored by only 31%. Jam-downs from the left will backfire.
Culture warriors on both sides, meanwhile, should take pause from the survey finding on how best to ensure decent treatment of one another. A mere 7% of respondents said it's up to laws and government. Eighty-three percent said they'd rather look to families, churches, and schools for keeping America morally strong.
Polls can mislead, of course. Remember the statistician who drowned while wading across a lake that was an average of 18 inches deep. Our center-right survey respondents were older, more religious, and more female than Coloradans overall. But they count as much as their leftist neighbors – and one day they'll be in the majority again.

Communication skills are essential to the success of every kind of relationship and interaction. Whether you're dealing with family, friends, colleagues, strangers, officials, superiors, subordinates or children, and whatever their own abilities in communication, you need to be able to comfortably say what you need, in the right way, at the right time, so as to get the best possible result from every encounter. And you also need to be able to take in and deal with what others are saying to you.
Once you've learned the basics of how to talk, which most of us master in childhood, you don't get much further help with how to communicate better.

In their second come-from-behind win in as many tries, a thrilling 30-24 overtime victory over the Titans, what did we learn about the Texans?
1. You can't count em out.
Thus far the 2013 Texans are a resilient bunch. They haven't put together a complete performance, but that is hardly important. Style points matter not at this time of the year. Winning games when you don't play their best is an indicator that you have a quality team, and the Texans have done just that. And do not ignore the fact that though their two wins were against teams that won only seven (San Diego) and six (Tennessee). There are few gimmees in the NFL and the Chargers and Titans are both improved. Each has a road win this season, with the Titans winning at Pittsburgh last week and San Diego beating Philadelphia today. This was not a great performance, but it was a good win.
2. Randy Bullock will have to get better.
He was drafted in the fifth round last year because of his strong leg and accuracy from long distance, but the rookie from A&M has missed three field goals from more than 50 yards already, and misfired on a game-winning attempt from 46 yards against the Titans. He also missed one that didn't count because the Titans called a timeout just prior to the snap. At least he stepped up and booted the game-winner at San Diego in the season-opener, and he has been excellent on kickoffs (12 of 13 have been touchbacks). Gary Kubiak should take more chances on fourth down anyway, so the upshot might not be a horrible thing, but regardless, Bullock needs to do a better job when called upon to score points. Perhaps the Texans have to reevaluate his range. Kicks from 50 yards are not easy, but though the early Sunday games the rest of the kickers in the NFL are 7-of-11 from 50-plus, while Bullock is 0-for-
3. Brian Cushing is a bad, bad man.
We already knew that when Cushing goes full beast mode, he is one of the best in the game. Well, he did so Sunday and showed again that the Texans' defense is a force with him in the lineup. Cushing was credited with nine solo tackles and two sacks – IN THE FIRST HALF. He finished with 11 stops and added four tackles for loss and two quarterback hurries.
4. When Matt Schaub is average, or worse, the Texans' offense is easy to handle.
Schaub threw only one pass on the Texans opening 80-yard drive, a one-yard touchdown to Garrett Graham, then was 7-of-13 for just 51 yards, with an interception the rest of the first half. No surprise the Texans managed only seven points and trailed 10-7 at the break. When Schaub is a little off the Texans have trouble converting on third downs. They were 2-of-7 to start the game, as Schaub's numbers looked a lot like Jake Locker's. By game's end, though, his stats looked more acceptable (26 of 48 for 298 yards and three touchdowns), but he was off his game for much of the contest. Still, you have to like it that he made plays and trusted DeAndre Hopkins to make plays when it mattered. It was a winning quarterback performance.
5. Phillips' defense has a penchant for starting slow. Real slow.
The Titans started the game with an 80-yard touchdown drive. They had only 56 yards on their next 10 possessions. Dating back to last season, the Texans have allowed scoring drives on opponents' first possession in seven of their last eight games (six touchdowns and a field goal). Good thing Phillips is one of the best at making in-game adjustments, but the first-possession woes are troubling. "I told the team after the game that if this keeps happening they are going to give me grey hair," Phillips said.

Index Sort Order
When defining indexes, you should consider whether the data for the index key column should be stored in ascending or descending order. Ascending is the default and maintains compatibility with earlier versions of SQL Server. The syntax of the CREATE INDEX, CREATE TABLE, and ALTER TABLE statements supports the keywords ASC (ascending) and DESC (descending) on individual columns in indexes and constraints.
Specifying the order in which key values are stored in an index is useful when queries referencing the table have ORDER BY clauses that specify different directions for the key column or columns in that index. In these cases, the index can remove the need for a SORT operator in the query plan; therefore, this makes the query more efficient. For example, the buyers in the Adventure Works Cycles purchasing department have to evaluate the quality of products they purchase from vendors. The buyers are most interested in finding products sent by these vendors with a high rejection rate. As shown in the following query, retrieving the data to meet this criteria requires the RejectedQty column in the Purchasing.PurchaseOrderDetail table to be sorted in descending order (large to small) and the ProductID column to be sorted in ascending order (small to large).
USE AdventureWorks2008R2;
SELECT RejectedQty, ((RejectedQty/OrderQty)*100) AS RejectionRate,
ProductID, DueDate
FROM Purchasing.PurchaseOrderDetail
ORDER BY RejectedQty DESC, ProductID ASC;
The following execution plan for this query shows that the query optimizer used a SORT operator to return the result set in the order specified by the ORDER BY clause.
If an index is created with key columns that match those in the ORDER BY clause in the query, the SORT operator can be eliminated in the query plan and the query plan is more efficient.
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX_PurchaseOrderDetail_RejectedQty
ON Purchasing.PurchaseOrderDetail
(RejectedQty DESC, ProductID ASC, DueDate, OrderQty);
After the query is executed again, the following execution plan shows that the SORT operator has been eliminated and the newly created nonclustered index is used.
The Database Engine can move equally efficiently in either direction. An index defined as (RejectedQty DESC, ProductID ASC) can still be used for a query in which the sort direction of the columns in the ORDER BY clause are reversed. For example, a query with the ORDER BY clause ORDER BY RejectedQty ASC, ProductID DESC can use the index.
Sort order can be specified only for key columns. The sys.index_columns catalog view and the INDEXKEY_PROPERTY function report whether an index column is stored in ascending or descending order.

Behold a Pale Horse (1964)

Synopsis by Hal Erickson
By 1964, it was possible for a major studio to make a film touching upon the Spanish Civil War without having to answer to some senate investigating committee or other. Based on Emeric Pressburger's novel A Mouse on Sunday, Behold a Pale Horse stars Gregory Peck as a war veteran who continues waging a one-man offensive years after hostilities have officially ceased. Exiled to France, Peck is lured back to Spain by vengeful police captain Anthony Quinn. Priest Omar Sharif advises Peck that he's being tricked, but Peck is determined to return to Spain to bid farewell to his dying mother Mildred Dunnock. Halfway through, the film bogs down into ponderous preachifying and moralizing, but overall the film is worth a glance. In 1966, Behold a Pale Horse was scheduled to be telecast on a major American network, but was cancelled at the last minute, reportedly at the behest of the Spanish government.
