KVF tube shape
We've optimized our revolutionary KVF tube shape to give you the stiffness and comfort you expect from Madone in an even lighter, more aero package.
E2 head tube and fork
E2 head tube tapers from a 1.5" lower to a 1-1/8" upper, placing more material where it matters most for the lateral rigidity of a 1.5" system without the added weight.
Crank: compact
Two front chainrings with shorter gearing, for the best combination of climbing ability and flat-terrain speed.
Fender compatible
Fender mounts allow for full-coverage fenders so you can ride comfortably in less-than-ideal conditions.
H2 fit
The right fit for most riders. Our classic H2 fit has a slightly higher head tube to put less strain on your back and neck.
SpeedTrap compatible
SpeedTrap seamlessly integrates the computer sensor into the fork to measure speed and distance with no added aerodynamic drag.
200 Series Alpha Aluminum
Trek's premium road alloy, formed into sophisticated tube shapes for maximum strength and minimum weight.
Madone 2.3
Pricing is set by Trek retailers and does not include freight, import duties or taxes for retailers outside the US.

Director: Jocelyne SaabCast: Jacques Weber, Hala Bassam, Juliet BertoLebanon, France, Canada, Argentina, 90', 1985, colorArabic, French with Turkish subtitles
The first film shot in post-war Lebanon, A Suspended Life is set in Beirut ten years into the conflict. Hala, a child of the war, finds relief from the chaos around her through Egyptian movies she watches on television. Karim, an artist in retreat from life, remains in his apartment in war-torn West Beirut, confident that he is safe in his familiar neighbourhood. An unlikely bond is formed between the two as they face the devastating civil war. A tale of poetic truth, A Suspended Life examines the ways in which war brings people together as well as tearing them apart. "I've invented places," writes director Jocelyne Saab, "as if by making a work of fiction about them, I could preserve them." Click for screening times.

Who had that?
There were so many people with cells to their ears that there was no place to start. I want that.
Cells are ubiquitous to include children; yes, even kids have their own phones.
You don't think a kid of this era would want a plain-jane phone do you? No, me neither, so everybody is wired today.
I didn't think to ask if my 12-year-old grandson has used a rotary dial phone. I doubt it.
People who had rotary dial phones dreaded calling someone with an "8," "9" or "0" because it took so long for the rotary dial to wind its way back to the stop.
There was a time, and not long ago, that a subscriber had to pay extra for the convenience of using a tone-dialing (DTMF) instrument.
The tones are actually two tones sounded together.
Ham radio operators discovered that rotary phones would hear tones if you had a homemade tone-generating apparatus held closely enough to the microphone for the telephone system to detect.
Old wooden wall telephones are seen in museums.
In that ancient technology, the battery-powered phones in a party (or line) were all connected all the time. If two people picked up phones simultaneously, they could talk. The more people who picked up, the more drain was placed on the batteries. Yes, phones ran on batteries.
When you look at an ancient telephone, you notice a crank. The crank turned a magneto which powered bells on all phones on that line, and everyone heard the bells.
You knew who was receiving a call by the calling "ring." My grandparent's ring was two long and one short ring.
There was nothing to prevent anyone on the line from picking up the receiver and listening in on the "line."
Party lines were a source for local news and gossip.
A bored woman in the Bill Arp community listened in on all calls to the local medic, Dr. Houseworth. She was hard of hearing and often asked, "Would you say that again?"
Nothing said on the telephone was private.
Technology improved, but without dial tones.
When you lifted the receiver, you were connected to an operator. The operator, always female, came on the line and asked: "Number please!" After giving her the number, she connected you to the party you wished to call.
Telephone numbers were simple. Our home number was 67-J.
Names from antique phones are still with us.
The ear piece, called the "receiver," hung from a hook that acted as a switch. Completing the call meant hanging up the receiver. We still "hang up."
A phone not properly returned to the cradle is called "off the hook" and will ring busy if dialed.
I have a quirky ring tone on my cell, but I'd love for it to sound like what it is — a telephone.

Hello everyone.
I purchased a GreenStar Gold model GP -E1503 from www.juiceland.co.uk 13 months ago.
It was on offer becuase it had a small 5 pence sized dent in the palstic work on the side... barely noticeable. They told me actual juicer is 100% ok inside.
When it arrived it worked perfectly well and continued to work perfectly well until 1 month ago when we noticed the pulp becoming wetter and wetter.
I emailed savant distribution (who cover warranty in UK) and they sent me two new gears out. Today I used the juicer with the new gears for the first time and I can't say the pulp is much dryer at all, and further concerning is the fact that the entire front half of the juicer is now "bobbing" up and down when juicing produce.
Here's some extra info...
We only ever juice apple, carrot, celery, parsely and ginger. We always ensure we use the firmest produce.
The juice extraction body part has cracked all over on two occasions. Both times Savant Distribution replaced the part quickly. They are a very good company!
I fear that this problem won't/can't be fixed and that I will have to put up with wet pulp forever. For £450 I thought I was buying a no-nonsense piece of kit that would work properly for many decades if not my whole life.
PLEASE can ANYONE let me know what is causing these performance issues and how to fix it!

When registering for courses each student should keep in mind the graduation requirements and program guidelines. Once your course requests are entered in our system, the Academic Dean's Office will confirm successful registration with you. In early summer, department chairs will review your record and consider your requests and, in mid-August, we will send you your final schedule.
If at any time after course registration you wish to make a change in your schedule, we ask that you consult with your advisor. You should then fill out the online schedule change request form for submission to the Office of the Academic Dean. Course changes are not automatically granted, but are reviewed with respect to your long-range academic program, as discussed with an advisor, and the limitations of the established class schedule. Ordinarily, any changes must take place within the first two weeks of a term, and all changes must be approved by the Academic Dean.
Course registration can be a daunting task, but rest assured that faculty and advisors will provide guidance and support throughout the process.
If, after you have worked out your program and filled out your course request sheet, you feel ready to engage in long-term program planning, then you can consult the departmental course maps, sample four-year programs, and four-year program planning worksheet.

Sabres' Vanek, Pominville are double trouble as Flyers fall to 0-2
BUFFALO, N.Y. — A nine-month layoff, courtesy of the NHL lockout, wasn't long enough to disrupt the chemistry between the Buffalo Sabres' top two linemates, Thomas Vanek and Jason Pominville.
Vanek scored twice and added three assists, and Pominville provided three assists in leading the Sabres to a 5-2 season-opening win over the Philadelphia Flyers Sunday afternoon.
"Ah, they spent a lot of years playing together. You go all the way back to their days in Rochester," coach Lindy Ruff said, referring to the two playing together in the American Hockey League 2004-05 season. "Those two guys are a little bit like glue."
They sure stuck it to the Flyers as the Sabres scored the game's final four goals — the last three coming in the final five minutes.
"Good linemates," Vanek said of his career-best outing. "And a little bit lucky at the same time."
He became the first Sabres player with five points in a game since Drew Stafford had three goals and two assists in January 2008.
Vanek tied it 2-2 by scoring on a breakaway with 4:06 left in the second period. He then had a hand in setting up defenseman Tyler Myers' go-ahead goal with 5:03 remaining.
The Sabres worked the puck around to the left point, where Myers got off a shot that appeared to deflect in off the skate of Flyers defenseman Kimmo Timonen, who was battling with Vanek for position in front of the net.
Cody Hodgson and newly acquired forward Steve Ott also scored for the Sabres, while Ryan Miller made 27 saves. Buffalo ended a five-game skid against the Flyers (1-4-1) and improved to 6-1-1 in its past eight season openers.
Claude Giroux, with his second goal of the season, and Sean Couturier scored for the Flyers, who were coming off a 3-1 season-opening loss to Pittsburgh Saturday. This marks just the 10th time the Flyers opened 0-2. Continued...
"The bounces aren't going our way right now," Giroux said. "It's not the start that we're looking for, two losses in a row. But we'll just have to fight through it and come back."
The Flyers had two goals disallowed. The first one, scored by Ruslan Fedotenko in the first period, was waved off after referee Steve Kozari ruled Fedotenko had bumped Miller before the puck went in. The second came in the final minutes, when officials ruled the whistle had blown before the puck dribbled over the goal line.
Coach Peter Laviolette questioned why Fedotenko's goal was disallowed, noting the Flyers player was outside the crease when he nudged Miller. As for the second disallowed goal, Laviolette said he never spoke to the official who made the call.
A bigger concern is the Flyers' penalty-killing unit.
After allowing the Penguins to score twice on three power-play chances Saturday, the Flyers gave up three more on Buffalo's six opportunities.
"The penalty-kill right now, we've got to continue to look at it and work at it," Laviolette said. "Every day is a new opportunity. But we've got to get on track here and get a win in the column and get moving in the right direction."
They'll have to get it started on the road. The Flyers are in the middle of a stretch in which they're playing six of seven away from Philadelphia.
The Sabres did little wrong in rewarding their fans in coming out of the NHL lockout.
Before the game, Sabres players, coaches and team owner Terry Pegula were in the First Niagara Center lobby to greet fans when the gates opened. They handed out programs, signed autographs and posed for pictures.
Once the game began, Buffalo scored the first goal, courtesy of Ott. At the final horn, they gathered at center ice and raised their sticks to acknowledge the sold-out house. Continued...
The Sabres were without third-line forward and former Flyer Ville Leino, who is listed as day-to-day with a lower-body injury after he was hurt in practice Friday.
NOTES: At 18 years and 254 days, Sabres rookie C Mikhail Grigorenko became the fifth-youngest player to be on the team's opening roster. Pierre Turgeon was the youngest (18 years, 41 days) in 1987. ... The Sabres have only about 12,000 tickets unsold for their remaining 23 home games. ... Flyers C Zac Rinaldo played just 2:47 before leaving the game with what the team called a lower-body injury.

Stress Management: Caring for Ourselves, Empowering Our Children
Friday, November 12 at 11 a.m.
Experts and studies prove that no matter how busy we are, it is important to find ways to manage stress to maintain a healthy lifestyle and overall sense of well-being. This panel discussion will provide specific tips for reducing stress for ourselves while helping our children to develop healthy stress-management habits, as well.
Presented by representatives from The Child Guidance Center of Southern CT, Darien Youth Options, and Family Centers, this program is part of our Health & Wellness Series, "A Picture of Health."

The Library's Health and Wellness Series is an extensive series of lectures, expert panels, computer workshops, and films. The schedule offers sessions on a variety of health issues, including nutrition, stress management, personal safety for children and teens, pain management, holistic medicine, sleep disorders, and medication management.
Darien Land Trust in cooperation with Darien Nature Center invite the public to a free viewing of Play Again, an award-winning documentary directed by Tonje Hessen Schei. At a time when children spend more time in the virtual world than in the natural world, "Play Again" unplugs a group of media-savvy teens and takes them on their first wilderness adventure. Through the voices of children and leading experts, "Play Again" investigates the consequences of a childhood removed from nature and encourages action for a sustainable future.
The film will be shown on Monday, November 1, in the Community Room of the Darien Library, 1441 Post Rd., Darien. The program is slated to run from 7 to 9 p.m. For more information, visit www.playagainfilm.com.

Oh, yeah. I never tried that. Mine's always in RGB because that's the main way I play. I'll check and see.
A little update on the EL2150 chip.Been doing some experimentation tonight, on the EL2150, while trying to build a Component Video to RGB converter. I found that I get good results from running the syncless signal through a 75 ohm resistor to get the signal back down to reasonable levels. Your mileage may vary depending on what monitor you are using.It may also depend on the console. I found that it looks very nice on the PS2 but comes in quite bright on the Xbox. Need to do some tweaking to accomodate the Xbox. The picture below was taken from the EL2150 datasheet. The 75 and 150 ohm resistors to ground are optional. As for building a cable, find a Pelican PS2 S-Video cable. They tend to overengineer the plug part (meaning that all of the pins are there instead of just some). Gently pry apart the plug case (it is not molded making for easy disassembly). Then gently desolder the wires from the posts in the main plug piece.Now you can easily construct any knid of a/v cable for the PS2 using this plug including a VGA cable. Don't forget your sound though.
I should also point out that on the PS plug page at GamesX the sound pins are reversed.
fragment-- PS2 needs to be in RGB mode, yes. I had the US version of the Blaze VGA adapter and it worked the same with JP games on my modded system. The cheapest price I've found ($15+10 shipping) and where I purchased it from : http://www.success-hk.com/pp/success.asp

SOURCE Car Care Council
BETHESDA, Md., March 21, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- How will you spend your tax refund? Another flat-screen TV? An iPad? Clothes? The Car Care Council has a better idea for your money: spend it on your second biggest investment, your car.
"Whether it's an oil change, replacing brakes or new belts and hoses, that periodic repair bill is a drop in the bucket compared to monthly payments on a new car," said Rich White, executive director Car Care Council. "The bottom line is that a properly maintained vehicle is safer, more dependable, more fuel efficient, less polluting and more valuable. The smartest way to get a solid return on investment is to keep your car through what we call the 'Cinderella Era.' It's that period of time after the payoff when your car is still in great shape and needs only modest repairs."
With proper care, the typical vehicle should deliver at least 200,000 miles of safe, dependable performance. The most common maintenance procedures and repairs to keep your car operating safely and reliably while maintaining its long-term value involve checking the oil, filters and fluids, the belts and hoses, brakes, tires and air conditioning. The council also recommends an annual tune-up and wheel alignment.
"Last year, the average tax refund was nearly $3,000. By simply allocating a portion, or the equivalent of just one new car payment, consumers could cover an entire year's worth of basic maintenance and live happily ever after with their current vehicle," said White.
The Car Care Council is the source of information for the "Be Car Care Aware" consumer education campaign promoting the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance and repair to consumers. For a copy of the council's Car Care Guide or for more information, visit www.carcare.org.

The curriculum at Elase Academy is a well-rounded look at what it takes to be a salon professional—maybe because cofounder Carrie Brinton isn't just a skincare expert but also a business owner who employs more than 20 master aestheticians herself. Thanks to her influence, students learn the principles of customer service, business operations, and sales at the same time as they practice their aesthetics skills at the school's onsite spa. Brinton's staff of experienced instructors supervises students as they treat clients to spa services both traditional and trendy. Students perform facials, chemical peels, nail services, and waxing to cover their classic treatment bases, and man ultramodern lasers to oust unwanted hair, moles, and tracking devices from the skin.
Part of the venerable Paul Mitchell network, the Salt Lake City school channels its doctrines of style and technique through a squad of students supervised by professional instructors. Inside the school's 22,000-square-foot facility, beauty-gurus-to-be assuredly snip away during haircuts, each of which includes a five-minute scalp massage, and slather on lactic-acid peels, each of which includes a five-minute memoriam to dead skin cells. Tresses can be smoothed into submission with a flatiron, curled into a hirsute coil, or stylishly swept into an updo. Students complement these many shapes with bold or subtle coloring treatments, sometimes relying on block or dimensional color to add depth.
Paul Mitchell the School trains its students to be citizens of the world as well as ambassadors of beauty. The school sets an example worth following with its eco-friendly practices and support for charitable causes that give back to the local community.
A group of musicians step onto a parade trailer and man their requisite noisemakers—guitars, bass, and drums. Only months ago, they may have never even picked up an instrument, much less thought they'd be part of a band playing a live gig. But now, their nimble fingers deftly play live covers of The Beatles, AC/DC, and Maroon 5, which pump from speakers as the movable stage winds through Lehi's streets.
The university-trained instructors of Utah School of Music & Dance organize music and dance recitals like these each year, helping students of all ages and abilities to share their burgeoning expertise. Profiled by the Utah Valley Business Blog, the school encompasses both private and group training studios where tutors such as guitarist Scott Miller—author of Mel Bay's Getting Into Jazz Fusion Guitar—help emerging Mozarts as young as 3 to master woodwinds, percussion, or the art of destroying a guitar amplifier. During dance classes, expressive movers practice hip-hop, jazz, or ballet moves atop a supportive floating floor, lingering afterward in a waiting room decked out with complimentary movies and WiFi.
A hub for sociable quilters, Elaine's Quilt Block hosts classes and get-togethers alongside a stock of more than 5,000 bolts of fabric and armfuls of notions, patterns, and books. Inside the homey space, which Quilt Sampler magazine lauded as "a beautiful setting for inspiring quilters" thanks to its 19th-century style and scenic location near the Wasatch Mountains, a massive baby room mingles bright hues among pale pink and blue fabrics. Books and patterns teach sewers to arrange geometric strips of fabric into trees, birds, or mime outfits using various stitching styles, such as appliqué and strip piecing. Sociable events including Sew & Tell gather quilters to show off ongoing projects and glean inspiration and information from others. During Civil War–themed classes, history-minded staffers and crafty time-travelers celebrate the heritage of their hobby with patterns that showcase old-timey arrangements and commemorate women's struggles during the war.
Lucky Duck Aviation's FAA-certified flight instructors have created a unique step-by-step curriculum to help the land-locked proceed into the clouds. Flying Cessna 172s in their lessons and tours, Lucky Duck equips amateur pilots with the necessary tools to safely fly as a hobby or profession while learning to avoid nomadic gangs of flying saucers. The trained pilots also give guided tours of 30–60 minutes so passengers can behold some of Utah's most notable sites, such as the Red Butte Gardens, Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty, and local wildlife.
Mark Stasinos is no stranger to the decisive slash of a saber. Beginning his fencing training in Europe nearly 40 years ago, Mark eventually imported his talent to the United States, where he served as the vice president of the United States Fencing Association. He also founded the fencing program at BYU, where he taught Julie Seal, an athlete who now owns more national titles than most Olympic jousters. Thanks to Stasinos' guidance, Seal took home multiple Division I gold medals in both foil and saber.
Since Salle D'Escrime's inception in 1988, Mark and his resident teachers have also churned out a few more national champs by relying on their signature method—gradually ushering pupils toward more difficult techniques and pitting them against village ogres in a no-holds-barred round of charades. The progressive process fosters fast improvement during both all-ages group classes and private lessons.

The shooting of an unarmed and naked Alabama university student killed in a late-night confrontation with a campus police officer appears to be unjustified, the lawyer for the young man's family said Thursday.
Part of the brief incident Saturday night that led to the death of 18-year-old Gilbert Thomas Collar of Wetumpka, Ala., was captured on a surveillance camera outside the University of South Alabama police station.
The video has not yet been viewed by reporters or the public, but the Collar family's attorney, Jere Beasley, said, "There is nothing on the surveillance tape that justifies the use of deadly force."
Mobile County Sheriff Sam Cochran said Tuesday that Collar, naked, sweating profusely and acting erratically, showed up at the police station and began banging on the door and window.
An officer came out, his handgun drawn, and started issuing orders to Collar while retreating backward across the back patio of the building, according to Cochran.
After retreating for more than 100 feet, according to Cochran, the officer fired when Collar drew within five feet of him. Collar, struck once in the chest, collapsed and died at the scene. The incident unfolded over no more than 20 or 30 seconds, Beasley said.
While Cochran said the police investigation into the shooting continues, Beasley said he questioned why the officer did not wait until backup arrived to engage Collar, who had no history of violence or drug use. He also questioned why the officer did not use either pepper spray or a baton in an effort to subdue Collar.
The officer had access to both pepper spray and a baton, Beasley said, but he noted that campus police are apparently not certified to use stun guns.
"Had either a stun gun, baton or pepper spray been used in this case, we wouldn't be here today," he said.
Both Beasley and sheriff's investigators believe someone gave a substance to Collar that led to his erratic behavior. At Tuesday's news conference, Cochran said witnesses told police someone had given Collar LSD sometime during the night.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Major-conference teams often have to guard against overconfidence in early-season games against programs from one-bid leagues.
Not in this case.
Jarnell Stokes scored 19 points and went 7-of-8 from the floor Monday as Tennessee relied on suffocating defense to roll to a 77-50 victory over Oakland, a Summit League program that had defeated the Volunteers each of the last two seasons. Oakland, which has averaged 23.5 wins over the last four years, won 89-82 at Knoxville in December 2010 and beat the Vols 89-81 at home last season.
Tennessee guard Trae Golden said assistant coach Kent Williams took him aside during the pregame shootaround and reminded him that "we owe these guys."
"We just wanted to come out, make sure we played as hard as we can," said Golden, who collected 18 points and seven assists with only one turnover. "We kind of got them back for last year."
Tennessee (4-1) earned that revenge by continuing Oakland's cold streak. Oakland shot just 28.6 percent (16-of-56) overall and went 2-of-16 from 3-point range, the lowest shooting percentage by any Tennessee opponent in Vols coach Cuonzo Martin's two-year tenure. The Golden Grizzlies (2-5) were coming off a 70-52 loss at Michigan State on Friday in which they shot 27.6 percent (16-of-58), their worst field-goal percentage since joining the Division I ranks in 1999.
"It's probably one of the better efforts since I've been here from top to bottom," Martin said.
Tennessee played at Oakland last year just four days after returning from the Maui Classic and looked like a tired team that entire game. The Vols avoided a similar issue this year by getting plenty of rest after returning from the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. Monday marked the Vols' first game since their 83-69 victory over Massachusetts on Nov. 18 in Puerto Rico.
The difference in the Vols' energy level was apparent from the opening minutes. Tennessee took an early 15-2 lead, built a 38-15 halftime advantage and never looked back.
"A lot of guys were tired of practicing," Stokes said. "They were ready to play. That's where the energy came from. We don't want to go into the next practice with a bad defensive effort. You know practice would just get uglier. Guys were very energetic." Continued...
This time, Oakland looked like the weary team as it played its sixth game in a 16-day stretch. Oakland has gone 1-5 during that period, though it did take Pittsburgh to overtime.
"I'm not going to make excuses," Oakland coach Greg Kampe said. "They beat the hell out of us. But I will tell you that we looked the way we looked because we've played six games in 16 days. We flew to Louisiana, to Boise, to Pittsburgh, to Michigan State to here (Knoxville). That's a lot of travel to put on a group of young kids, that many games in that many days. We haven't practiced in two weeks and we played like it. The collateral damage of that schedule was tonight. I knew it would be somewhere, I was hoping it wouldn't be here, but it was tonight."
Tennessee staged a defensive clinic in the first half, as Oakland shot 5-of-32 overall and 1-of-11 from 3-point range. Oakland's 15 first-half points were the fewest Tennessee had allowed in a half since Martin took over the program last season.
After scoring a total of four fast-break points in three Puerto Rico Tip-Off games, the Vols compiled 15 fast-break points against Oakland. Golden continually got the ball to Stokes and senior forward Kenny Hall for easy transition baskets.
"I kind of pulled Kenny and Jarnell to the side and told them, 'You've got to run the court. If Kenny gets the rebound, Jarnell you outrun everybody else and vice versa,'" Golden said. "With that, they ran the floor and I just got them the ball."
Golden nearly outscored the Grizzlies by himself in the first half, as he scored 14 points before the intermission. Golden made his first five shots of the night before missing a hurried 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer.
Although Oakland shot a little bit better after halftime while Tennessee wasn't quite as sharp, the Vols' second-half lead still never dipped below 19 points.
Travis Bader scored 18 points and Corey Petros added 10 points for Oakland. Hall compiled nine points and 11 rebounds for Tennessee.
The Vols need big performances from Stokes and Hall as they continue to play without starting forward Jeronne Maymon, who hasn't played all season because of a setback in his recovery from offseason arthroscopic knee surgery. The road only gets tougher here for the Vols, who next play Friday against No. 20 Georgetown at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C.
Martin looks forward to seeing how the Vols match up with a quality major-conference program. The Vols already have made an impression on Kampe, who believes they're similar to the Pittsburgh and Michigan State teams Oakland faced earlier this season. Continued...
"Tennessee does not rebound like Pittsburgh and (Michigan) State do," Kampe said, "but I don't think Pittsburgh and (Michigan) State have the scoring potential that this team has."

High cholesterol? A recent study shows that certain foods can reduce artery-clogging LDL-cholesterol by flushing out fat and cholesterol.
Knock down your LDL-cholesterol with
- a handful of nuts every day – any kind of nuts will do
- soy foods – try tofu, soy nuts, veggie burgers, edamame and soy milk
- "sticky" fibers such as oats and barley… For oats: oatmeal, homemade granola, oatmeal muffins, oats in meatballs and meatloaf… For barley: cooked barley cereal, barley soup, cold barley salad with celery, onions and spinach, and hot barley (instead of rice) as a side dish.
- natural plant sterols - they're found in nuts, veggies and fruits, and legumes. Hmm, sounds like a vegetarian diet to me…
The most commonly prescribed medications in this country are the statin drugs, such as Lipitor. In fact, millions of prescriptions have been written in 2011. Holy cow! For many folks, however, medications can be eliminated or reduced by simply making healthier food choices to lower cholesterol.
These high-fiber muffins have cooked two ingredients that can lower cholesterol – barley and chopped cashews:

If Boston College could win out in the regular season, the Eagles could head into the ACC tournament with a 9-9 record in league play. To accomplish that feat, Boston College would have to make history in Sunday's trip to Duke. The Eagles are 0-6 all-time at Cameron Indoor Stadium, but did play Duke tough earlier this month in a 62-61 home loss to the Blue Devils. Boston College must find a way to slow down Duke's dynamic duo of Mason Plumlee (17.5 ppg) and Seth Curry (17.1), who make the Devils one of only five teams in the country with two players averaging at least 17 points. TV: 2 p.m. ET, ACC Network.ABOUT BOSTON COLLEGE (12-14, 4-9 ACC): Freshman Olivier Hanlan, who scored 20 points in the first meeting with Duke, continues to make major contributions. The only rookie in the ACC's top 10 in scoring (9th, 14.5 ppg), Hanlan is fifth in the league in scoring in conference games (16). He's coming off a career-high 26-point performance in Tuesday's win over Maryland. The Eagles are making 70.1 percent of their free throws in league play, which ranks third in the ACC. ABOUT DUKE (23-3, 10-3): The Blue Devils have lived and died with the 3-pointer all season, but had one of their finest perimeter shooting performances in Thursday's rout of Virginia Tech. Duke posted a .706 shooting percentage beyond the arc, the highest all season for a Division I team playing on the road. Keep an eye on Plumlee, who needs just one more rebound to reach 1,000 boards for his career. Plumlee would be the eighth Blue Devil to reach that milestone.TIP-INS1. Duke is 15-2 all-time against Boston College and has won the previous six meetings. 2. Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski has 877 wins at Duke, the third-most victories by any coach at one school. Krzyzewski is two wins from tying Dean Smith for second place on the list. 3. That loss to Duke on Feb. 10 gave Boston College a spark. At the time, the Eagles were in last place in the ACC, but they've won two of the subsequent three games. PREDICTION: Duke 82, Boston College 67

As an automotive sales person, people find it hard to believe that I could care about the environment. After all, I have worked for the majority of my life for one of the most petroleum dependant industries on the planet.
Over the past few years however, there has been a strong movement towards eco-friendly modes of transportation and a divide between consumer's wants and the manufacturers needs to produce such vehicles. To sum that up-if we want green vehicles built, we need to buy them!
At this point, most people you talk to about electric cars have seen the documentary Who Killed the Electric Car, and while we tend to put all the blame on the oil industry and the government, there is somebody else who needs to shoulder some of the blame...us!
With Ford, Nissan and Toyota leading the charge and making zero emission fully electric vehicles (Ford C-MaxEnergi, Nissan Leaf, Ford Focus EV) and hybrid vehicles (Ford Fusion Hybrid, Toyota Prius, Ford C-Max Hybrid), there are plenty of options available for running a zero emission or eco-friendly vehicle. How many of us drive one?
I am not casting blame; I just bought a Ford Fusion hybrid after years of wondering why there aren't more of them on the road. I LOVE my car, couldn't be happier. Admittedly though, I was one of those drivers who used to love another car, a Mitsubishi Pajero with its right-hand drive, diesel engine and four-wheel drive.
This love affair ended when I started doing some research. Did you know that the reason you are starting to see more Japanese imported vehicles on our roads is that they no longer pass Japan's strict environmental and safety inspections? This means that the government of Japan has said that these vehicles aren't safe on the roads and that the vehicle is harming the environment, yet myself and many others were driving them thinking they were a decent green choice. There's something wrong with that picture.
Ford, Nissan and other manufacturers agree and are trying to come up with a solution, but they cannot do this without the consumer.
Nissan, who created the Leaf, which is one of the first fully electric vehicles, reported that in 2012 they did not cover the Leaf's production costs with their sales. How long can that continue before production ceases? Look, I know it's a vicious cycle. We don't buy electric vehicles until there are charging stations. Government doesn't build charging stations until manufacturers build more electric cars.
Manufacturers don't build more electric vehicles until we buy them.
Ford has predicted that in 2013 in Canada, they will sell a TOTAL of 160 fully electric vehicles! I'll bet there are 160 "Cowichin-ites" alone that would like to buy one so there seems to be a discrepancy.
If we want more eco-friendly vehicles on the road, then buy one! You, the atmosphere and the North American economy will appreciate it.
Ian Smith Ken Evans Ford
