One of my favorite phrases from readers – critics and fans alike – is "editorial team."
When we make errors, I inevitably am asked something along the lines of: "why didn't your editorial team catch that?" When people pitch stories, they often ask if a "member of our editorial team" might be dispatched to cover an event or meeting.
To me the phrase is evocative of a football-squad-sized army of reporters and fact checkers, diligently pursuing leads throughout the greater Chestnut Hill area and working over copy to eradicate it of typos and misstatements of fact.
I suppose the fact that the phrase is used at all, even critically, is a form of compliment. That people see a whole team behind the paper they receive every week or the website they check daily has got to be encouraging.
The fact is, we couldn't field a football team. In fact, we'd have a hard time finding the manpower in the editorial department to compete in a friendly hoops tournament.
We're definitely a team, but much smaller one than you might imagine. Today, there are only three full-timers in editorial, one in classifieds/circulation, one in production and two in advertising.
I point this out not to bellyache about our position. In fact, I don't mind the size of our squad one bit. Would I like an extra writer; sure, who wouldn't. But it's not an excuse to ward off responsibility for what we do. We can always do better.
The real deal is that the Local absolutely depends on the assistance of the greater community. Most of our contributions are from freelance writers and other members of the community who write stories, submit photos and op-ed pieces.
There are many places we can't be and subjects about which we know little. Every week, we get a much-needed assist not only from our tried and true veteran contributors but also from regular readers who will send in an informational release or a photo that we can pass along.
If we're doing what we're supposed to do, we're taking care of the important news our readers expect, but we're also compiling and curating the many submissions we get in order to balance out a paper every week that really strives to be a community read. It's an effort that is not only community owned but community created.
With that in mind, we're always looking for reader submissions. If you're handy with a camera and can take pictures in focus with the entire subject in frame, then you're good enough to submit. If you've noticed a tree has fallen on a car roof, you can call, but there's a good chance we can't get there to get a shot. If you've got a smartphone, shoot a few shots and send them to us. If they're decent, we'll run them and give you the credit.
If an event is going on and we can't get there, send us the information. Tell us who, what, why, when and where and we'll do our best to make sure that, if it's information the community should or would like to know, we find a way to run it.
I certainly can't promise that we'll always use everything sent our way. We don't have the space or the resources to process it all. But we're certainly always looking to be as inclusive and as close to a real community effort as possible.
So polish that camera lens and get your email attachment skills up to date. We're looking for help, and we could use you.

Robert Deen Cowart, a member of one of western Flagler's pioneer families, pleaded no contest to the third offense charge that was punishable by up to five years in prison.
PALM COAST — A Flagler County man was sentenced to five years' probation and lost his driver's license for life after being convicted Wednesday of felony drunken driving.
Robert Deen Cowart, a member of one of western Flagler County's pioneer families, pleaded no contest Wednesday to the third offense charge that was punishable by up to five years in prison. He also pleaded no contest to obstructing an officer without violence and driving with a suspended license, each a misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail.
Circuit Judge J. David Walsh found Cowart guilty and ordered that he serve the first year of his five-year probation in a residential treatment center and follow the rehabilitation program.
Cowart is an uncle of Charles Larkin Cowart, 29, who is facing several charges after he rode his horse through Bunnell and interfered with a train in September, according to police reports.
The 55-year-old Cowart, thin and balding, stood in shackles and an orange jail jumpsuit as Walsh handed down his sentence. The judge asked him some routine questions, including his level of education.
Cowart said he had a finance degree from Stetson University.
Cowart's defense attorney, Dan Leising, said he was pleased that he and Cowart's family had been able to keep Cowart out of prison.
Walsh also fined Cowart $4,000 plus court costs and permanently revoked his driver's license. Cowart must also, at his expense, equip his vehicle with a mandatory ignition interlock device. The drug offender probation means Cowart cannot drink alcohol and is subject to urine tests.
Cowart got credit for 180 days served in the county jail.
Cowart's driver's license has been suspended since 2004 from another DUI charge. But on April 13 on County Road 305 in western Flagler County, he slowly drove his tan Toyota Tacoma into a tree in front of his sister's house on County Road 305, according to a Sheriff's Office report. Cowart was so intoxicated that he was taken to Florida Hospital Flagler, where a breath tested yielded a blood-alcohol reading of 0.344, the report states.
Cowart bailed out of the Flagler jail on April 18. Nineteen days later, an Ormond Beach police officer was northbound on U.S. 1 from Nova Road when he drove up on a swerving pickup that almost crashed into another vehicle. The officer stopped the truck and found Cowart behind the wheel and smelling of alcohol. Cowart was arrested.

With songs, stirring words and a cake, a group of Baltimoreans joined the worldwide party to celebrate Nelson Mandela's 95th birthday, an occasion made even happier by news that the health of the hospitalized former South African president was improving.
"I was waiting for this day for a long time," said the Rev. Mankekolo Mahlangu-Ngcobo, a minister public health educator from South Africa who led a celebration at Sharp Street Memorial United Methodist Church in Baltimore.
"I know people lost hope … but we can celebrate 95 years of Nelson Mandela's life — hallelujah!"
The event at the Upton church was part of "Mandela Day," declared by the United Nations in 2009 to celebrate the leader who was jailed for 27 years before becoming South Africa's first post-apartheid president.
Outside the Pretoria hospital where Mandela was admitted last month with a lung infection, thousands of his countrymen sang, danced and blew the horns called vuvuzelas to celebrate the birthday that he recently seemed unlikely to reach.
In Baltimore, the South African ambassador to the United States joined clergy and other leaders for a program of speeches, music and dance at Sharp Street Memorial. For some, Mandela's long imprisonment by South Africa's apartheid government for his activism prompted reflections on how so many African-Americans in Baltimore and elsewhere in the United States are imprisoned for vastly different reasons.
"People are taking each other's lives for no reason at all. They're choosing to be imprisoned for foolishness — not for a cause, not for a struggle," said Dania Thornton, 42, of northwest Baltimore.
Thornton and her husband brought their 1-year-old son Aidan and their 3-year-old daughter Aamira to the event even though they're too young to know about Mandela and what he represents. Clarence Thornton, 54, said he hopes they and other young people will be inspired to carry on the work of their forebears.
"[Mandela] went through a lot. The same with Martin Luther King. If it wasn't for them, we wouldn't be where we are today," said Clarence Thornton, who works as a packer in a plastics manufacturing company. "Now how about the children? Put the guns down, and pick up the torch."
South African Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool, who arrived from a celebration with congressional leaders in Washington, thanked the crowd for their support for the anti-apartheid movement and for Mandela himself.
"You continued to pray for him all over, on Fridays in the mosques, on Saturdays in the shuls, on Sundays in the churches," said Ebrahim. "He has shown us he is alive, and that is a triumph of your prayers."
Like other speakers, Rasool said the Nobel Peace Prize laureate provides a model for those who are struggling with the recent not guilty verdict for George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch volunteer who shot and killed a Florida teenager.
"Nelson Mandela speaks to us, he gives us a message of healing as the nation recoils from the Trayvon Martin incident," Rasool said. "He speaks to us today for us to reconcile on the basis of justice."
The Rev. Cary James, Sharp Street's pastor, noted with pride that Mandela was baptized in the Methodist church. One of the highlights of his life, he said, was traveling to Johannesburg and meeting Mandela.
"I want you to treat this as a day," James told his audience, "to make a difference in the world."
The United Nations and Mandela's own foundation have encouraged people to mark the day by spending 67 minutes — one for each year of Mandela's public service — doing something to make the world a better place.
Across the country on Thursday, volunteers were scheduled to rebuild homes in areas hit by Hurricane Sandy, replenish food banks and plant trees.
Mandela's many admirers were cheered Thursday by news that his condition was, in the words of current South African President Jacob Zuma, "steadily improving."
Zuma, who visited Mandela in the hospital on Thursday, issued a statement noting the country's pride in their "international icon," and thanking people for giving him "the biggest birthday celebration ever this year."
"Happy 95th Birthday Tata Madiba!" Zuma said, using the affectionate name South Africans have for Mandela. (Madiba is Mandela's clan name; Tata means father in the language of his Xhosa tribe.)
In Baltimore, state Sen. Verna L. Jones-Rodwell told the Sharp Street audience that they all can "rejoice that he is recovering."
"He is with us still physically, but most importantly he is here in spirit. And it is that spirit that will take us over those mountains, draw us out of the valleys that sometimes we are caught in as individuals but [that] we are struggling to get out of as a community," she said. "He has given us the guidance and the vision to pull ourselves out."
Union leader Esther Iveren noted labor's role in toppling apartheid in South Africa. Other speakers read letters from Sen. Barbara Mikulski and David Wilson, the president of Morgan State University, and a poet, a dancer and a deejay entertained the crowd.
Participants in the Baltimore event were cheered to hear Mandela's daughter, Zindzi, had told a British television station Wednesday night that his health had dramatically improved and he might return home "any time soon."
As the Rev. John A. Lunn, Sr. of Berean Baptist Church in Baltimore said, "What a great birthday present."

NEWMARKET — Police are seeking the public's assistance in locating a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run accident Friday morning that sent a pedestrian to Exeter Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
At about 7:08 a.m., police responded to the report of a pedestrian having been struck in the crosswalk while crossing Route 108 in front of the Rite Aid pharmacy by a vehicle traveling northbound, Lt. Jeff Simes said.
The vehicle continued to travel north along Rt. 108 and is described as being a silver colored sedan, possibly a Mitsubishi.
The victim was transported by Newmarket ambulance to Exeter Hospital. Simes said the man was conscious and responsive on scene and speaking with first responders there.
Though the area is a common spot for pedestrians to cross the road, Simes said there isn't necessarily many vehicle-versus-pedestrian accidents. He said that location sees a high level of pedestrian traffic due to so many apartments located there.
He described the vehicle as likely having front end damage near the driver's side of the car.
Anyone who may have witnessed the accident or who has information regarding the vehicle is asked to contact Simes or Sgt. Richard Beaudet at the Newmarket Police Department by calling 659-8501.

Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's administration says it backs the state police commander who discussed the Newtown school shootings at a law enforcement seminar and won't punish him.
The Journal Inquirer reports ( https://bit.ly/ZRYzmJ ) that Mark Ojakian, Malloy's chief of staff, called Col. Daniel Stebbins to ask how information about what he discussed at the seminar in New Orleans was published in a column in the New York Daily News earlier this month.
The column, citing an unidentified police officer who attended the seminar, reported that Stebbins discussed evidence that suggested Adam Lanza studied other mass killings and extensively planned the Newtown massacre.
Ojakian says Malloy stands by Stebbins, who won't be disciplined. He says somebody breached the confidence of the meeting.
Malloy said at the time he was "disappointed and angered" that the information was published.

|NAC and Trichotillomania
|Written by Fred Penzel

NAC and Trichotillomania
By Fred Penzel, Ph.D.
**Please note the following: This advice is purely informational, and not in any way meant to be a substitute for treatment by a licensed physician. Do not try this, or anything else, without first consulting your physician. If your M.D. has not heard about it, refer them to the following article and let them decide:
Jon E. Grant, JD, MD, MPH; Brian L. Odlaug, BA; Suck Won Kim, MD, N-Acetylcysteine, a Glutamate Modulator, in the Treatment of Trichotillomania: A Double-blind, Placebo-Controlled Study. Arch Gen Psychiatry/ VOL 66 (NO. 7), JULY 2009.
Over the years, it has become apparent that prescription medications, as remedies for trichotillomania (TTM), have proved to be somewhat of a disappointment. These meds have been employed since the early 1990's, and although they may be seen to work occasionally for some individuals, research indicates that their overall effectiveness is not great for the majority of sufferers. When they do appear to work, it is most likely that they are actually helping with coexisting problems such as depression and anxiety that are impacting the pulling, but not directly causing it. The discovery of a new compound with a greater level of direct effectiveness would be considered a blessing to sufferers. If this compound were also an over-the-counter remedy, it would be even better.
This very thing was confirmed in 2009 with the publication of an article by Grant, Odlaug, and Kim in The Archives of General Psychiatry, titled "N-acetylcysteine, A Glutamate Modulator, In the Treatment of Trichotillomania." This study, which lasted 12 weeks, investigated the use of the amino acid N-acetylcysteine (NAC) in 50 patients with TTM, and found that 56% of them were rated as improved or very much improved. A much smaller previous pilot study had also found positive results.
So what is this compound? NAC is a both a pharmaceutical drug and a nutritional supplement used primarily to treat Cystic Fibrosis, and also to treat individuals suffering from acetaminophen overdoses. In the former case, it thins mucus, making it easier for patients to cough it up, and in the latter case, has liver detoxifying effects. It has also been said to aid in the treatment of cocaine addiction. Some practitioners out there are also exploring the use of NAC in the treatment of OCD, although whether it is effective or not, is still unproven.
What exactly is NAC? NAC is a natural sulfur-containing amino acid that is a breakdown product of the amino acid L-cysteine, and is in turn broken down by the body and converted to a powerful antioxidant known as glutathione. Antioxidants can repair oxidative stress in the body. Oxidative stress occurs when cell metabolism produces an increased level of oxidants known as free radicals that tip the balance between themselves and antioxidants in the body. These free radicals can cause the breakdown of cells, damaging proteins, genes, and cell membranes. Substances known as antioxidants act by neutralizing free radicals, and some are produced naturally by the body. Some have theorized that hair-pulling may be the result of the effects of oxidative stress within the brain, and that NAC can help reverse this.
NAC is also what is known as a chelating agent. That is, it hastens the excretion of heavy metals such as lead, mercury and arsenic from the body by binding to them. While this is of course, a positive benefit of taking it, it also causes the body to excrete copper, zinc and other essential minerals when used over time. Some research says this effect may be minimal, but others have suggested that it is necessary to take supplements containing copper, zinc, and other vital minerals when using NAC. Until this is settled, it is advisable to take a daily multivitamin plus minerals along with the NAC. It is often recommended to take extra vitamin C, itself an antioxidant, along with NAC, as it can also assist in raising glutathione levels. The amount of vitamin C one should take has been said to be in the range of 500 mg. per day.
As far as taking NAC itself for a BFRB, we have been using the following approach:
1. Start by taking one, 600 mg. capsule of NAC daily for the first two weeks along with a daily multivitamin plus minerals, in addition to 500 mg. of vitamin C. You will most likely not see any changes on this dosage.
2. If the NAC appears to be well tolerated, increase it to 1, 600 mg. capsule, 2x per day. Again, wait two to three weeks to see if there is any reduction in pulling activity.
3. If there are no changes, or only minimal changes in pulling, increase to 1 capsule, 3x per day, and again wait two to three weeks to see if there is any noticeable result.
4. If there is only little or no change, you can then increase to 4, 600 mg. capsules per day, and wait another two to three weeks. Take 2 capsules for one of the three daily doses, to make a daily total of four.
5. If there is still little or no change, you can increase up to what is the maximum of 5, 600 mg. capsules per day. A total of 3,000 mg. is the maximum you should take as a daily dose. Take 2 capsules for two of the three daily doses, to make a daily total of five.
6. If after 4 weeks at the maximum dosage there is still no result, then it is likely that it is not working, and can then be discontinued.
As with all medications and supplements, there are no sure things. It is ultimately all trial-and-error. We hope that NAC will help, but just keep in mind that it will not necessarily work for everyone. Remember that it was shown to be effective for about 56 percent of the subjects in the original research study.
NOTE: There are some very important precautions that should be observed when taking NAC.
1. It should be noted that there are some individuals who suffer from cystinuria, a genetic disorder that causes cysteine to build up in their urine. If levels of cysteine molecules become high enough, they clump together to form kidney stones. It is therefore recommended that those with this problem not take NAC.
2. In addition, NAC supplementation might increase the side effects associated with nitroglycerin and isosorbide, two medications commonly used to treat angina.
3. Using NAC at the same time as the hypertension drugs ACE-inhibitors might cause blood pressure to drop too low. It might also excessively strengthen the actions of immunosuppressant drugs.

The World Bank's Palm Oil Policy
In 2011, the World Bank Group (WBG) adopted a Framework and Strategy for investment in the palm oil sector. The new approach was adopted on the instructions of former World Bank President Robert Zoellick, after a damning audit by International Finance Corporation's (IFC) semi-independent Compliance Advisory Ombudsman (CAO) had shown that IFC staff were financing the palm oil giant, Wilmar, without due diligence and contrary to the IFC's Performance Standards. Wilmar is the world's largest palm oil trader, supplying no less than 45% of globally traded palm oil. The audit, carried out in response to a series of detailed complaints[1] from Forest Peoples Programme and partners, vindicated many of our concerns that Wilmar was expanding its operations in Indonesia in violation of legal requirements, Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) standards and IFC norms and procedures. Almost immediately after the audit was triggered, IFC divested itself of its numerous other palm oil investments in Southeast Asia.

What is a nautica polo shirts?
A shirt is an upper body garment made from a light fabric with buttons. First, the nautica polo shirts was the subject of underwear, and only in the XIX century, it began to impose in everyday life. This happened in the United States during the Civil War — nautica polo shirts were part of the uniforms of both warring events. Ladies begin to wear T-shirts at the beginning of the 20th century, thanks to the democratization of Coco Chanel, as well as the general emancipation of women. So nautica polo shirts.
Who is wearing a nautica polo shirts?
In the 1940s, T-shirts were especially prevalent because of the tremendous popularity of the deuce suit. Nowadays, it is difficult to understand – is it a womens shirt or mens. In our time, the nautica polo shirts is a universal clothing – unisex. When wearing a nautica polo shirts women add various accessories.
How to wear a nautica polo shirts?
There are no specific rules for wearing a nautica polo shirts. Wear those shirts that you like. Consider the features of your body and complement your style with various accessories. The main thing that you feel comfortable and so so comfortable!


text: Setting the pace Getting 10,000 steps per day roughly coincides with the latest U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommendation that adults get a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week. The key word here is "moderate" -- not all steps meet that requirement.Shuffling around the kitchen making dinner is hardly equivalent to racing to catch a bus or walking an energetic dog. Any movement is good, of course, but to make the steps count as beneficial as possible, they should be fairly sustained. To take some of the guesswork out of exactly what constitutes a high-quality step, Simon Marshall, associate professor of exercise and nutritional science at San Diego State University, came up with a formula for an average brisk walking speed. He and other researchers tested 58 women and 39 men by putting them on a treadmill and measuring how much energy they expended. On average, 100 steps per minute constituted a moderate walking pace (so 1,000 steps can be achieved in just 10 minutes). He offers this prompt as an easy pace-check: Keep time to the song "Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees.The study was published last May in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.-- Jeannine Stein

Tire Shine
We are a new company launching a new product to the automobile industry.
Our target is the auto retail industry.
Use the logo as the basis for the animation. A wheel and tire, looking like the one pictured in the logo (but with a dull looking tire surface) rolls onto the screen from the right side towards the left, and stops about midway. The visual of the rolling wheel coming to a stop is accompanied by the sound of a sports car engine revving down. A hand and brush appear in a position close to the bottom of the tire, and move clockwise around the tire to the 3 O'clock position pictured in the logo, shining the surface of the tire. As the hand reaches the position depicted in the logo, the words G & B Tire Shine will scroll to the right over the top of the wheel into position as they are depicted in the logo, and the words "Instant Shine Anytime!" will scroll to the left into position as they are depicted in the logo. 10-15 second animation. This will be used on a DVD and the web. An .avi, or .mov file format would be best. The animation will be used in a 720x480 project. Please keep within safe area. Place on a red or blue background so I can key out. Thank you for your creativity and time.

Our infrared aspheric lenses are ideal for a variety of mid-wave and long-wave infrared applications. The low-cost, molded design offers several key benefits over Germanium substrate aspheres. With a dn/dT and CTE significantly less than that of Germanium, our lenses feature a smaller change in focal length as a function of temperature change. And, with a higher operating temperature than Germanium (which suffers 20 – 30% transmission loss at 100°C), our lenses can be used in applications that were not previously possible with Germanium.
The Mid-Wave and Long-Wave Infrared (IR) Aspheric Lenses are available with a variety of coating options. For custom requirements, including custom coatings, custom designs, or adding diffractive features to the aspheric surface, please contact our Sales Department.


text: It's no secret that the shirt appears as classic standby in the women's wardrobe for office and casualwear alike. This season's collection of shirts for women sees a recurring trope in the avant-garde form of subtle or extreme reconstruction. Taking a more feminine approach to the classic menswear-inspired shirt, twisted, asymmetric, and panelled styles offer a creative alternative to the classic button-up. A luxe palette of crisp cotton poplin or twill, silk gauze, or denim iterations exude the essence of laid-back refinement. Unexpected features like bungee-style drawstrings, cut-out accents, or oversized kimono-inspired sleeves transform the casual shirt into a bold statement piece. Modern adjustments to the timeless officewear iteration include modern modifications of the banker stripe, while halter-style necklines and integrated camisole-style overlays explore the tensions between formalwear and streetwear while maintaining an utterly chic, reformist aesthetic. Quirky graphic prints, leopard patterns, and metallic sequin detailing bring a sense of play to the otherwise straight-laced style, while ruffles, lace overlays, and voluminous sleeves explore notions of modern femininity. This season's collection of women's shirting offers a versatile approach to sophisticated dress.

It was sort of cold. Better than very cold, I guess.
Massachusetts to 21st to L. I felt fast, but I think I just shifted gears well and pedaled no faster or with more power than normal. I have no training in the fine art of shifting gears, nor extensive background in its philosophy or best practices. Nonetheless, I occasionally seem to inadvertently do it correctly and find myself in the right gears and the right time for maximum efficiency at minimal effort and there is a minor pleasure in this, like finding a five dollar bill in a winter coat pocket.
I wonder what an urban bike commute would be like without the sound of car honking in the background. It's probably wonderful. I don't think I'll ever know.
I biked a perfect on L Street. What I most remember about it though is the gentle pitch of the tiny hill after 14th street. Even the flat streets aren't flat. Stuff like this is a tiny reminder that cities happen to be built on real landscapes and aren't just natural occurrences and only man-made impositions. I like thinking about stuff like this.
This is the sidewalk where you can ride after the L Street Cycle Track unceremoniously ends at 12th Street.
Strictly speaking, this is illegal. So, if you care about laws and whatnot, don't do it. But practically, it's the most sensible place to be, especially if you're turning north or south on 11th.
I don't know if it'll change anything about my bike commute (aside from not having to ride through a construction site), but City Center DC is going to be a big deal. A really big deal. Maybe even bigger than a really big deal. But no bigger than that. Probably bigger than a breadbox, but I don't know that many people with bread boxes, so if you had one or got me one, that would probably be a pretty biggish deal. But I'm still inclined to think that a massive retail, office and residential development in the heart of downtown might prove bigger than a box in which I keep bread. Hard to say for sure.
Is is a sidewalk or is it the driveway entrance to an underground parking garage? Can it be both? Should it be both?
Pennsylvania Avenue through the Capitol grounds, which remains open for business (whatever that is) and bike commuting and I found myself riding up the hill behind a guy and perhaps unintentionally committing the bike faux pas of not passing him because I don't think he cared for my riding behind him. Not sure why I think I thought that, but I did. Some cyclists like to stay in front no matter what and others don't want that and there should be some kind of color-coded system that lets other bike commuters know which one you are. I'm a passer. If you want to get faster than me and we're both riding along, just get it over with. No need to lurk. I'm not a winter KOM monster like a certain Bike Arlington employee.
Some buildings on East Capitol is quite tall. I'm not sure they were in keeping with the rest of the neighborhood when they were built so where were the 19th century ANC NIMBYs to stop it? Weren't they concerned about horse parking? For the record, I think that 19th century people, in spite of their not demanding beautiful buildings not be built because they didn't look like the building already existing, were the most amazing people. They just had so much energy. And deep feelings about things. 19th century people cared about stuff, stuff with -ism at the end of it. The only thing that excites 21st century people as much is street parking.

I once overheard a conversation between two of my coworkers. This was back when I had a job in a bonafide office that employed actual grown-up human beings with whom I could interact. We were all at the printer.
"What'd you do this weekend?" said one as she jammed a ream of paper into the drawer.
"Oh, our friends came over for dinner," said the other.
"That's fun. What'd you make?"
"We all cooked that lasagna that was on the cover of Gourmet."
"Oooo….I saw that. The Emilia-Romagna one, right?"
Did you make it with the bechamel?"
"And the homemade noodles?"
"Yup, everything. That was the evening's entertainment. The kids watched Nemo, then we all relaxed and made dinner."
At the time my girls were 2 and 3 and that kind of night with friends was both unthinkable and enviable. I absolutely fell in love with the concept of Dinner Party cum Personal Challenge and vowed I would do exactly the same thing when our kids were old enough to entertain themselves. And then I vowed to learn how to make homemade pasta. And then I asked myself, How is it that your mother is Italian and three of your daughters' great-grandparents are 100% Italian, and it took a chance encounter over the Epson to inspire you to make homemade pasta?
Anyway. The girls got older, and as anyone who has read my book knows, we've cranked out many batches of homemade pasta with our friends on many memorable nights. (No lasagna yet.) But when I think back to the printer conversation, a different thread of the story jumps out at me: My coworker's commitment to following an authentic recipe to the letter. And now I'm always on the lookout for dishes that will fit the bill.
As soon as I saw a recipe for Andy Ricker's Pad Thai last year (described in the headnote as "this is not the dish from the neighborhood takeout joint"), I knew that it qualified. Ricker spent twenty years studying authentic Northern Thai cuisine before he became the James Beard Award-Winning chef-owner behind the Pok Pok empire in Portland (and now New York). The ingredient list for his pad thai was long and the recipe called for things like sweet preserved shredded radishes, tamarind paste, rice noodles that had to be soaked in hot water before frying, and simple syrup, "preferably made from palm sugar." Oh, my simple syrup would be made from palm sugar all right. I would track down garlic chives (not the same thing as regular chives apparently); I would do whatever I needed to do in order to secure the exact ingredients called for. No shortcutting. No skipping an ingredient and saying It's just one thing. How crucial can it be? like I tend to do …just about every night. And other than those sweet pickled radishes (I could only find spicy), I managed to do it. We are lucky to have an Asian supermarket superstore nearby (FYI locals: Golden Village on Central Ave), so we hit that, then laid everything on a cutting board (below) and got to work.
Can I just say: Oh My Freaking Lord. This recipe was insane. Every bite a revelation of sour, fishy, sweet and crunchy. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that it was as good as the one I ate in Thailand while my toes were wriggling in the powdery sand of Maenam Beach. Maybe even as awesome as the sand and the beach combined. And we made it in our own kitchen, a half a world away.
A few of the ingredients called for: pad thai rice noodles, fish sauce, palm sugar, lime, thai chiles, bean sprouts, tofu. Check out the recipe here.

Wild Horse Journal Editor, Mae Lee Sun, contributes Op-Ed on horse slaughter and wild horse fertility control to Award Winning Magazine, High Country News
The hoof stops here
HIGH COUNTRY NEWS Op-Ed – May 02, 2012by Mae Lee Sun
Horse slaughter is back on the table, so to speak. What amounted to a congressional ban against the practice ended when the 2011 Agriculture Appropriations bill reinstated federal funding for inspecting horses before they're sent to a slaughterhouse.
But it's hard to know what will happen next. The Bureau of Land Management's advisory board overseeing free-ranging horses and burros has been stacked with pro-slaughter ranching advocates, who are only thinly disguised as neutral citizens. One recently appointed member advocates for commercial slaughter as a management strategy for wild horses.
The board is pro-slaughter because that is all the BLM has ever been, ever since the days when it helped round up wild horses for Rin Tin Tin's dog bowl in the 1920s. The federal agency has long backed the interests of the ranching, recreation, development and dog-food industries, despite running a few adoption programs in an attempt to pacify people like me and other annoying horsey lovers.
For those who would argue that the BLM is at least trying to help wild horses — even by sending them to slaughter for their own good — I ask: Since when have Americans set the bar so low? How can we possibly find it acceptable to house over 34,000 horses, more than half of the wild horse population in America, in BLM holding pens awaiting an uncertain fate that is likely to end in slaughter? And why did it take a lawsuit before Laura Leigh, reporter for Horseback Magazine, could gain access to the BLM's wild horse roundups? When the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in her favor Feb. 12, 2012, it said that "an open government has been the hallmark of our democracy since our nation's founding."
The more disappointing aspect of the debate about slaughtering horses is that it evades the real issues. Why don't we admit that slaughter has never been an effective means to control or manage populations of unwanted, used-up and abandoned horses, whether they're wild or domestic?
There is just no way to make slaughtering equines humane. A bolt-gun is generally shot into an animal's brain to render it unconscious, but this method fails to work with horses. The animals resist the restraint and then panic, filled with fear. Given the combination of the large, terrified animals and the typically unskilled and low-paid workers who are hired to process them on the assembly line, the situation is a set-up for extreme animal cruelty. This is well documented in reports by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
We should be ashamed of ourselves after all these years for being so ill informed or ignorant; to be as willing as we are to deliberately close our eyes to the facts. What happened to the pride we once had, back when we saw wild horses as living symbols of our national heritage?
Continuing the same old capture-and-removal routine for wild horses has never worked, while slaughter just gives breeders license to abandon horses at will, permits kill-buyers to thrive, allows racehorse owners to dispose of horses that proved disappointing at the track, and enables horse owners who fail to train their animals properly to shirk their responsibility. What's more, it perpetuates a sad history: Thousands of U.S. warhorses went straight into the can after meritorious service, starting with World War I. And even with what amounted to a ban on slaughtering horses in this country, the Government Accounting Office reported that approximately 138,000 U.S. horses went to slaughter in 2010 alone, shipped to Canada and Mexico, where the equine slaughter industry continues unabated.
What makes this shameful is that here in the United States, we have the world's first and only dedicated wildlife fertility-control facility, the Science and Conservation Center, in Billings, Mont. Led by Jay Kirkpatrick, the world's foremost researcher on fertility control in wild horses, it has used PZP — Porcine Zona Pellucida — a reversible, non-hormonal contraceptive with a 24-year history of success, all over the country on urban deer and 85 species of zoo animals, including wild bison, and even on 14 different populations of African elephants in the Republic of South Africa. Why we haven't been routinely using PZP here in this country is a mystery.
Contraception works, and it is especially critical for us to implement this approach now that it has finally been approved for use in wild horses by the Environmental Protection Agency. For years, Australia and other countries have cited PZP's lack of "official" U.S. endorsement, as a reason for selecting a "by any means necessary" approach to the disposal of wild horses.
Unfortunately, those "any means necessary" include aerial shooting, chasing and rounding up animals from horseback, capture and removal, and, of course, slaughtering them for domestic pet food and overseas meat consumption. We have the technology to control overpopulation of wild horses, and it is long past time for us to use it. We should know by now that slaughter is the wrong way to go.

CRC Health Group Announces Acquisition of Oregon's Willamette Valley Treatment Center
February 1, 2013 (CUPERTINO, Calif.) — CRC Health Group, the nation's largest network of behavioral health and addiction treatment services, today announced the acquisition of Willamette Valley Treatment Center located in Salem, Oregon. Founded in 1999, the Willamette Valley Treatment Center provides comprehensive outpatient addiction treatment services.
"We are very pleased to announce the acquisition of Willamette Valley Treatment Center and welcome their exceptional staff and high-quality program to our outstanding network," said R. Andrew Eckert, Chief Executive Officer of CRC Health Group.
CRC Health Group currently owns the most comprehensive network of addiction treatment services in the nation. The addition of Willamette Valley Treatment Center expands the company's ability to offer individuals the latest, evidence-based addiction treatment services that include medication-assisted treatment (MAT) like Suboxone and methadone. MAT is a highly regulated treatment option for individuals who are attempting to overcome an addiction to opioids such as prescription narcotics (Oxycontin, Codeine, Percocet, Morphine, etc.) and heroin. When used in proper doses as part of a medically supervised addiction treatment program, research has confirmed that the medications used in MAT programs can block cravings and other withdrawal symptoms, and allow individuals to live normal, productive lives.
Together, CRC and Willamette Valley Treatment Center will administer medication-assisted treatment in a safe and caring environment that is supervised by a physician medical director and clinical staff, as part of a complete treatment plan that includes motivational and behavioral therapy, group counseling, and individual counseling to enhance recovery success. The program also provides intake assessments, treatment for co-occurring disorders, drug abuse education, individualized treatment planning, and relapse prevention.
Said Eckert, "Jay [Lawshe, former Executive President who will stay on as Clinic Director] has established a very positive reputation in this community and has greatly helped to increase awareness and understanding about treatment clinics. We are excited to partner with her and continue her terrific legacy."
Headquartered in Cupertino, Calif., CRC Health Group is the most comprehensive network of specialized behavioral healthcare services in the nation. CRC offers the largest array of personalized treatment options, allowing individuals, families and professionals to choose the most appropriate treatment setting for their behavioral, addiction, weight management and therapeutic education needs.

WEF, NACWA Applaud State of the Union for Focus on Investment in Infrastructure, Resiliency to Climate Change
Washigton D.C. — In his State of the Union Address last night, President Obama focused on the role of infrastructure to a healthy economy and identified climate change and resiliency as national priorities, all of which pave the way for a renewed focus on the value of water and water infrastructure, according to the Water Environment Federation (WEF) and the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA).
WEF and NACWA are heartened by the President's emphasis on economic recovery and climate change. Water considerations are essential to progress in both areas, and the organizations are encouraged by the potential to advance and improve the Nation's water programs. As seen in the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, clean and safe water infrastructure is now squarely a key component of any national effort to address the effects of climate change and ensure the resiliency of our communities going forward.
The recently released Water Resources Utility of the Future … Blueprint for Action coauthored by WEF, NACWA, and the Water Environment Research Foundation, calls for a utility of the future that recovers valuable resources from the treatment process, is a partner in local economic development, and is a member of the watershed community seeking to deliver maximum environmental benefits at the least cost to the ratepayer. Fully supportive of the transition to clean, renewable energy and climate change-related initiatives, the utility of the future reclaims and reuses water; extracts and finds commercial uses for nutrients; captures waste heat and latent energy in biosolids and liquid streams; generates renewable energy; and uses green infrastructure to manage stormwater. WEF and NACWA also share a position on climate change that underscores the clear need to create sustainable, resilient water facilities that can meet and withstand the effects of extreme wet weather events.
Beyond the challenges of climate change and renewable energy, rebuilding America's aging water infrastructure would be a well-suited component of the President's "Fix It First" program, proposed last night to put Americans to work on the most urgent repairs.
Both in terms of jobs created and public health protection, water infrastructure repair cannot be overlooked as the Nation moves to rebuild its economy. Additionally, the President's focus on manufacturing, innovation, and jobs translates to the need to drive innovative solutions in water to create jobs and ensure a sustainable environment.
WEF and NACWA look forward to working with the President and Congress to help rebuild the economy and create a better, safer, and more resilient America through sound investment in, and innovative approaches to, national water programs.
About NACWA
The National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA) is the leading advocate for responsible national policies that advance clean water and a healthy environment. NACWA represents the collective interests of America's clean water utilities and has done so for over 40 years. NACWA continues to be the clean water community's voice in Congress, at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, in the media and in the courts. To learn more, visit us at www.nacwa.org.
About WEF
Founded in 1928, the Water Environment Federation (WEF) is a not-for-profit technical and educational organization of 36,000 individual members and 75 affiliated Member Associations representing water quality professionals around the world. WEF members, Member Associations, and staff proudly work to achieve our mission to provide bold leadership, champion innovation, connect water professionals, and leverage knowledge to support clean and safe water worldwide.

Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris haven't made a feature film since 2006's "Little Miss Sunshine." But the drought appears to be coming to a close, and they're bring Paul Dano back into the fold.
Dayton and Faris will direct Dano and his real-life girlfriend, Zoe Kazan, in "He Loves Me," which Kazan wrote, reported The Los Angeles Times. The film is being produced by Albert Berger and Ron Yerxa, the duo behind "Sunshine."
"He Loves Me" is the story of a writer who confronts his writer's block by penning the girl of his dreams, only to have her come to life. "Think 'Adaptation' meets 'Weird Science,'" as the LAT notes.
U.S. & World
"The plot couldn't be more different than 'Little Miss Sunshine,' " Berger told the Times. "But in terms of a movie with comedy, with heart and with strong characters, I think it's very similar."
About a year ago it was announced that Dayton and Faris would be directing "Will," starring Paul Rudd and Zach Galifianakis, about a guy who discovers free will when the man in charge of his destiny goes on strike. But there's been little to no follow-up on this since.
Dano already has a number of films we're looking forward to, with roles later this year in "Meek's Cutoff" and "Cowboys & Aliens," and in 2012 he'll be seen in Rian Johnson's "Looper" and "Another Bulls*** Night in Suck City."

Folic acid is one of the B vitamins your body needs for good health. Getting enough of this vitamin prevents folic acid deficiency anemia. It also prevents certain birth defects.
The vitamin is also called folate, but there is a difference:
Most people just say "folic acid" for either form of this vitamin.
Most people can get the amount of folic acid they need by eating a well balanced diet.
Daily amount of folic acid
0–6 months
65 mcg ( micrograms)
7–12 months
80 mcg
1–3 years
150 mcg
4–8 years
200 mcg
9–13 years
300 mcg
13–18 years
400 mcg

Although the recommended amount of folic acid for all adults is 400 mcg a day, many doctors recommend higher amounts for women who are able to get pregnant. This is because folic acid plays a big role in preventing birth defects.
Women who don't get enough folic acid before and during pregnancy are more likely to have a child born with a birth defect, such as:
Daily amount of folic acid (folate)
Pregnant women footnote 2
600 mcg
Breastfeeding women footnote 2
500 mcg
Women who could possibly get pregnant footnote 3
400 mcg to 800 mcg
Most other women
If you're breastfeeding, getting this extra folic acid will make sure that your baby gets the folic acid he or she needs to stay healthy.
Here's an odd fact: The man-made form of this vitamin is actually absorbed better by our bodies than the natural form is. So even if a woman eats a well balanced diet, she may not get the extra folic acid she needs to prevent birth defects unless she also takes a supplement.
It can be hard for women to get extra folic acid from food. So experts say that all women who are able to get pregnant should take a daily supplement that has 400 to 800 mcg of folic acid.footnote 3
Some women need even higher doses.
Follow your doctor's advice about how to get higher amounts of folic acid. Don't just take more multivitamins. You could get too much of the other substances that are in the multivitamin.
Even if you aren't planning to get pregnant, your doctor may recommend a daily supplement.
Many pregnancies aren't planned. And the birth defects that folic acid can prevent start to form in the first 6 weeks of pregnancy. This is often before a woman even knows she's pregnant.
So you can see why getting enough daily folic acid—even before you get pregnant—is so important. If you are pregnant and you have not been taking a vitamin containing folic acid, begin taking it right away.
Foods high in folate include liver, citrus fruits, dark greens like spinach, and fortified breakfast cereals and breads. Read food labels to see how much folate the food contains.

I thought it would be fun to have a place for everyone to post what they are having for supper on any given day. I would be very interested to learn what different people typically have for supper. Maybe I will get some new ideas to spice up my repretoire. So go ahead and post what you are having for supper. It doesn't matter if it is very simple or gourmet or somewhere in between.
Tonight I am making split pea soup. No other dishes. If anyone is still hungry after their soup then can eat fruit.

India rode on opener Thirush Kamini Murugesan's maiden century to thrash West Indies by 105 runs in their opening Group A match of the ICC Women's World Cup here yesterday.
Kamini scored 100 off 146 balls to become the first Indian eve to notch up a century in 50-over World Cup as the hosts piled up a commendable 284 for six after being sent into bat.
Defending the total, Nagarajan Niranjana (3/52), Jhulan Goswami (2/13) and left-arm spinner Gouher Sultana (2/38) starred with the ball to help India bundle out the Caribbean side for 179 runs with 5.3 overs to spare.
West Indies run chase never really got off as they lost wickets at regular intervals. Opener Kycia Knight, one of the twin sister in the team, was dismissed in the second ball of the innings after she was run out by a direct hit from Harmanpreet Kaur.
West Indies then other opener Stafanie Taylor in the first ball of the sixth over after she edged one to wicket-keeper Karuna Jain off Amita Sharma's bowling.
Niranjana then castled the timbers of Shemaine Campbelle with an in swinger to reduce the West Indies to 38 for three. Deandra Dottin then took the attack to the opposition with a 16-ball 39-run blitzkrieg which was studded with four sixes and three fours. The 21-year old West Indian clobbered Niranjana for two sixes and a four in the 19th over before the pacer took her revenge by trapping Dottin plumb in front of the wicket in the same over.
Kyshona Knight (11) was then bowled by Sultana in the next over as West Indies lost half of the side back with just 84 runs on the board. West Indies skipper Merissa Aguilleira shared a 49-run stand for the sixth wicket with Shanel Daley before she was caught at covers by Indian skipper Mithali Raj off Nilanjana. From there on, victory was just a formality for India and Goswami ensured a quick end to the match by picking up two wickets in the later stages of West Indies' innings.
Earlier, Kamini etched her name record books and together with Poonam Raut (72) shared 175 runs for the opening wicket to lay the foundation for India's total. Before Kamini, the previous best by an Indian eve in a World Cup was by skipper Mithali Raj who socred 91 against the Netherlands in the 2005 edition, while this was the highest team total posted by the side.
India surpassed their previous highest score of 275 against the Netherlands in the 2000 World Cup in New Zealand. Left-hander Kamini, who made a comeback into the side, scored 100 in 146 balls was finally run-out. She struck 11 fours and a six and batted till the 43rd over and spent 156 minutes at the crease. Put into bat, Kamini and Poonam Raut (72) made best use of the flat track at Brabourne Stadium here. Raut's 72 runs came off 94 balls and she struck seven fours during her 144-minute stay at the crease. Raut was finally out leg before trying a sweep shot off spinner Shanel Daley.
India tried to accelerate and made best use of the Powerplay as 45 runs came off those five overs. She was joined by former Indian skipper Jhulan Goswami, who was promoted as a pinch hitter and Goswami made a quickfire 36 in 21 balls.
India started losing wickets towards the end in their bid to step up the ante. For the visitors, seamer Deandra Dottin picked up three wickets in her four overs while giving away 32 runs, and Daley picked up one.

A 20-year-old
woman died Thursday morning from injuries suffered in a Christmas Day crash in Virginia.
Annalee S. Marshall was pronounced dead at Inova Fairfax Hospital, according to a news release from the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office.
Marshall was driving north on U.S. 15 near Black Walnut Lane at about 12:45 p.m. Tuesday in a 1997 Honda Civic when the vehicle ran off the east shoulder, according to the sheriff's office. Police said she over- corrected and crossed into the southbound lane, striking a 2005 Acura driven by Todd Willman, 55, of Chambersburg, Pa.
Marshall was flown to the hospital, authorities said. Two passengers in the other car were treated for minor injuries. A third passenger, a 23-year-old, was also flown out. He remained hospitalized Thursday, according to the sheriff's office.
The crash remains under investigation by the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office Crash Reconstruction Unit.

Dimension 80cm x 60cm x 60cm. Various selected paper, salvaged books and some Folk Art magic.
'Billedskolen i Tvillingehallen' commissioned the making of a Diamond Shade for their meeting room. I based the lamp on traditional landscape painting, (rectangle landscape, green at the bottom, moody sky at the top). Besides coloured paper I used old books about planes, so parts of planes now fly through the sky. In referance to the history of Tvillingehallen, the building was once a slaughterhouse, I found an appropriate book and used it to make the sky a little overcast and to dot the landscape with cattle.
The Art School is for children and young adults who come into the school on different days of the week. I set up the Silent Circus in the entrance and slowly made the lamp, spread over a week, so all the students got to see the lamp in progress. I then had to take it home to finish it, these things are not quick to make, plus the children kept interrupting me.
Besides me making a lamp for the school, I also introduced the JW006 craft ebook to the Wednesday 5 o'clock class, who all made their-own Diamond Shade lamps over the following couple of Wednesdays.
The lamp shade is designed as Folk Art process. The process and templates are available to download at DesignYouMake craft ebook JW006

Os designers de todo o mundo estão enviando designs criativos para DH1 na categoria de design de logo - custom.
Clean, brandable, and fun-looking logos for a MySpace resource website that conveys a friendly atmosphere and attractive to users in the 16-24 age range. We need one logo for MrDoe.com and one for MrsDoe.com that are similar but mr geared to guys and mrs geared towards girls.
MrDoe.com and MrsDoe.com
Desired Color Scheme:
For MrDoe.com we'd like fun more manly colors. For MrsDoe.com we'd like more girly colors.
Desired Style:
More fun/friendly/unique than anything
Accepted File Formats:
I have posted a contest on here before in which I paid FAMOUSARTGUY just so this is in the open! Love this site.
Were looking for a logo that will be used for a MySpace resource website, which contains layouts, images, etc. for users of MySpace. It should be fun in nature and not serious, so serif fonts should probably be left out (not required, however).
We plan on offering two websites one for guys, named MrDoe.com, and one for girls, named MrsDoe.com. Wed like two versions of the logo one for each site, but they do not have to be drastically different.
We have a concept of a friendly guy holding a sign that says MrDoe.com, and another one of a girl holding a sign that says MrsDoe.com. You do not have to do this, but its a concept we like. If you have something you think that looks better, by all means do it and well let you know if we like it. We like the logo that http://www.zobbler.com/ has with their mascot, if you were looking for any ideas.
Again, the logo should be fun and attract people of the 16-24 year old age range. Be creative!
Thanks. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Usually the passage of time weakens cold homicide cases. Key witnesses die or move away, evidence is misplaced and memories fade.
But in one significant way it was easier to prove Kimberly "Kimmy" Greene-Medina was murdered this past week than it would have been if the case had gone to trial in 1996: it proved that the 19-year-old mother wasn't just missing, but dead.
A jury found Michael J. Medina guilty Friday of murdering his wife Greene-Medina. He was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Two prosecutors in District Attorney George Brauchler's office took the case against Medina to trial despite some big holes in the case.
John Kellner, a deputy district attorney in Brauchler's newly formed cold case unit, and Cara Morlan, also a deputy district attorney, didn't have a body, a weapon, a murder scene or an eye witness to help prove their case.
"It wasn't just not having a body but it was also the complete lack of a crime scene as well," said Kellner.
Kimmy's remains have yet to be found. There was little or no physical evidence confirming a story of how she died.
Greene-Medina's family and friends had long said she would never abandon her two young daughters, then 2 and 3 years old. But it still could have happened.
Kellner and Morlan studied cases around the country in which prosecutors took murder cases to trial without a body.
"There weren't a lot of cases but there were some," Kellner said.
Among the cases they reviewed was the murder of Kristina Tournai-Sandoval on Oct. 19, 1995 in Greeley.

text: I finally had time to take some proper outfit photos so here they are :) I am currently obsessed with my white furry scrunchy from Topshop and subsequently bought it in black this week too. In fact, anything white and fluffy I am naturally drawn to... hence the pom-pom on the bag. The shirt is second hand Calvin Klein and arguably fairly festive but I wear it all year round regardless hehe, hope you like. Also my hair is still so much shorter! I'm v excited for it to grow and get back to it's former mane-like state. Xxx
