America's Sickening "Omega Imbalance"
What it is, how it happened, and how to fix it … in brief, cut back on vegetable oils and foods high in them, and get ample omega-3s from seafood and supplements
Many scientists familiar with food-borne fats' impacts on human health express deep concern over Americans' relatively recent shift to diets that promote disease.
This unhealthful shift included a rapid rise in consumption of vegetable oils – and packaged or prepared foods made with them – which produced a big, unprecedented, imbalance in Americans' intake of omega-3 and omega-6 fats.
As Columbia University Professor Mehmet Oz, M.D., said, "Maintaining the right balance between omega-3 and omega-6 fats is absolutely vital for your health." (For an expert's explanation of the research behind that statement, see "Essential Viewing", in our sidebar.)
This is the major reason why we offer
The Vital Omega-3 and 6 HUFA Test™
, which reveals users' blood levels and relative ratios of omega-3 and omega-6 fats.
(HUFA is the acronym for "highly unsaturated fatty acids". In human cells, the dominant and only essential HUFAs are long-chain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.)
To learn more about the research that's persuaded Dr. Oz, Dr. Andrew Weil, Dr. William Sears, Dr. Nicholas Perricone – and virtually all nutrition-savvy physicians – see the sidebar at right, and our summary of a landmark study: "
Report Finds Americans Need More Omega-3s ... and Far Fewer Omega-6s
Professor William E. Lands, Ph.D. – one of the world's most respected and published fatty acid scientists – co-authored that research, and makes the broader societal case for optimizing people's omega-3/omega-6 balance:
"Physicians, health insurers, and policymakers could revolutionize preventive health care, and reduce related costs and suffering, by monitoring Americans' proportions of omega-3 and omega-6 blood fatty acids, and encouraging dietary choices that improve that balance." – William E. Lands, Ph.D.
A sickening rise in omega-6s … and decline in omega-3s
The available evidence indicates that people will thrive best – and reduce their risk of most major diseases – on diets providing about three parts omega-6 fats to one part omega-3 fats.
But Americans' relative intakes of omega-6s to omega-3s shifted dramatically in favor of omega-6 fats over the past 100 years … a trend that accelerates sharply starting in the late 1960's.
As a consequence, the average American's diet now provides 20 or more parts omega-6s to one part omega-3s … a whopping seven times or more higher than the three-to-one intake ratio shown to deter major diseases and promote optimal health.
This radical dietary shift resulted partly from a decline in Americans' consumption of omega-3 fatty acids … but mostly from a radically higher intake of omega-6 fatty acids.
Omega-6 fats predominate in the cheap vegetable oils that started replacing butter and lard in the 1960's – with the as yet unrealized goal of reducing heart disease risks – mostly corn, soy, cottonseed, sunflower, and safflower oils.
Note: While wild and farmed salmon have comparable levels of omega-3s, farmed salmon is generally much higher in omega-6 fats (Megdal PA et al. 2009).
But ample and fast-growing evidence shows that America's relatively recent turn to oils high in omega-6 fats – and the great majority packaged and takeout foods made with them – has had unanticipated, seriously unhealthful consequences.
America's severe omega imbalance drives major diseases
Ironically, the consequences of public health authorities' campaign to replace saturated fats with vegetable oils include overlooked or shamefully ignored evidence of harm to heart health … as we explain in "
Heart Association Appears Blind to Risks of America's 'Omega-Imbalance
That article summarizes a rigorous evidence review refuting the American Heart Association's 2009 finding that Americans' very high, historically unprecedented intake of omega-6 fats poses no heart risks.
In short, the AHA's 2009 report didn't distinguish between clinical trials that raised people's omega-6 intake only vs. those in which omega-3 intake also rose … a truly astonishing scientific error that perpetuates the deadly mistake that Americans' extremely high omega-6 intakes don't matter.
Scientists from the U.S. National Institutes of Health detailed the AHA panel's errors in a
2010 report
that we summarized in "
Heart Group's Omega-6 Advice Takes a Huge Hit
Other ill effects of America's omega-imbalance include higher risks for depression and major cancers. To read summaries of recent – and rather alarming – research in this realm, visit the "
Omega-3 / Omega-6 Balance
" section of our news archive.
How the omega imbalance harms human health
Dozens of human clinical and epidemiological studies – and many more cell and animal studies – link the omega-imbalance typical of most American's diets to higher disease risks.
This is because of omega-6 fatty acids' comparatively stronger, generally pro-inflammatory influences on hormone-like immune system agents called eicosanoids (eye-
Omega-3s exert weaker, generally anti-inflammatory influences on these hormone-like agents … and their influence is easily overwhelmed by an excess of dietary omega-6 fats.
The omega balance: How to help get it right
Critically, omega-3 and omega-6 fats compete for absorption into our cells, and an excess of dietary omega-6s will result in too few omega-3s being incorporated into cell membranes, from where they exert their essential, indirectly hormone-like effects.
Adding to this problem, many of the omega-3s in American's diets consist of the "short-chain" omega-3 called ALA, which occurs in a few plant foods … beans, dark leafy greens, flax seeds and oil, canola oil, and walnuts.
Omega-3 ALA has to be converted into the long-chain forms the body actually needs to survive and thrive, called EPA and DHA.
And the rate at which this conversion occurs – which is already very inefficient (only one to 10 percent of ALA gets converted to EPA and DHA), is further reduced when your diet is awash in competing omega-6 fats … especially the short-chain omega-6 fat called LA.
Omega-6 LA predominates in most vegetable oils … except olive, macadamia nut, and "hi-oleic" sunflower oils.
Seafood is the only food source of the long-chain omega-3s our bodies need, and fatty fish like salmon, sardines, tuna, and sablefish offer the highest levels, by far.
This is why doctors and researchers alike urge people to eat more fatty fish and/or take fish oil supplements, instead of trying to balance their omega-6 intake with plant-source omega-3 ALA … which is the kind typically used to "omega-3-fortify" cereals, yogurt, and other packaged foods.

Planning Primary Prevention of Coronary Disease – 2009
"Careful review of molecular events connecting diets to death identifies two modifiable food imbalances that cause major chronic diseases in Americans. They are 1) imbalance between ingestion and expenditure of food energy [calories], and 2) imbalance between omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acid levels in ingested foods."
False Profits and Silent Partners in Health Care – 2010
"Many financial losses will likely be decreased by primary prevention advice to choose foods that increase intakes of omega-3 fats, decrease intakes of omega-6 fats and include fewer calories per meal."
Dietary Fat and Health: The Evidence and the Politics of Prevention; Careful Use of Dietary Fats Can Improve Life and Prevent Disease
"Every year, more young people start the slow progressive injury that eventually becomes cardiovascular disease and death."
"It could be prevented with nutrition education, but medical efforts focus more on treatments for older people than on preventing primary causes of disease in young people. Two avoidable risks [omega-3/6 fat imbalance and oxidative stress] are prevented by simple dietary interventions: (1) Eat more omega-3 and less omega-6 fats … (2) eat less food per meal …"
Healthy intakes of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids: estimations considering worldwide diversity
"The increases in world omega-6 LA consumption over the past century may be considered a very large uncontrolled experiment that may have contributed to increased societal burdens of aggression, depression, and cardiovascular mortality …"
"… a healthy dietary allowance for omega-3 HUFAs for current US diets was estimated at 3.5 grams per day for a 2000-calorie per day diet. This allowance for omega-3 HUFAs can likely be reduced to one-tenth of that amount by consuming fewer omega-6 fats."
"…diets during the 4–5 million years of hominid [ancestral human] evolution were likely abundant in seafood and other sources of omega-3 HUFAs but had sparingly little contribution of calories from omega-6-rich seed oils."
"In stark contrast, at the turn of the recent millennium, a single food source, soybean oil, appears to deliver 20% of all calories in the average US diet, with [the result that] about 9% of the average American's calories come from omega-6 linoleic acid (LA) ..."
Stories about acyl chains. – 2000
"The high prevalence in the USA of chronic diseases and disorders mediated by omega-6 eicosanoids prompts the question 'What proportion of omega-6 HUFA in the tissue phospholipid HUFA is optimal for health?'."
"Current dietary habits in the USA maintain about 75% of the phopholipid-form highly unsaturated fatty acids [HUFAs] as omega-6 fatty acids (and cardiovascular mortality and arthritic morbidity is severe), whereas the Japanese have traditionally maintained about 50% of cell membraine fatty acids as omega-6s (and cardiovascular mortality and arthritic morbidity are less severe) and Greenlanders had even lower proportions of omega-6s in their cell membranes, with lower incidence of myocardial infarction [heart attack] or arthritis."
About Dr. Lands
William E.M. Lands (born July 22, 1930) is an American nutritional biochemist who is the world's foremost authority on essential fatty acids. Lands graduated from University of Michigan in 1951 and served on the faculty there from 1955 to 1980.
He then moved to University of Illinois (1980-1990) and subsequently the National Institutes of Health (1990-2002), where he served as the Senior Scientific Advisor to the Director of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Lands is credited for discovering the beneficial effects of balancing the effects of excess omega-6 fatty acids with dietary omega-3 fatty acids.
The effect of essential fatty acids on formation of hormones is documented in his book, "Fish, Omega-3 and Human Health." University of Michigan's Department of Biological Chemistry endowed a Lectureship in honor of William E.M. Lands.

I agree with Mortinka. I want to know what to expect when I make a recipe not hear about how I shouldn't be making it because it's unhealthy or that "it sounds good" because that's why I plan on making it. Enough ranting, I did make this and it was average. The shortcakes cooked up fine, I got nine using 1/4 c. to measure. I used Braeburn apples and they took FOREVER to soften and were sliced very thinly. I finally gave up and threw a lid on the pan and steamed them. Flavor was good but nothing overly special.

Really? Not one person who has rated this recipe has tried it! Recipies should not be rated if you haven't made them. The rating is not supposed to be based on whether or not it sounds good to you & it's definately not supposed to be based on the fat or sugar content. If it's not healthy enough for you, go on to another recipe insteading of complaining & giving it a bad rating. Also, a recipe shouldn't be rated if you change all the ingredients. When I read a review, I want to hear from someone who's made the recipe as written, otherwise it's not a fair & accurate review.

I?m thinking of hiring a photographer to take pictures for my wedding, what should I expect?
When hiring a photographer for your wedding, you are going to want some one with the experience in the specific field. Wedding photography is not like regular photography for many reasons, the most important being that instead of having people posing for their shots, they aren?t really supposed to know they are being shot. It gives it more of a natural look. Also most of the wedding photographers I looked into seemed to like to turn it into a story, merging all the photos together so that it explains how the wedding went. The photographer needs to be creative in this aspect, being able to separate photos properly. Books

I have some beliefs that don't mix well with older forms of Christian thought, even if they're often times congruent with some of the oldest forms (for instance, I'm a universalist). I'm not saying this, however, in order to earn your accolades; I'm saying it because, generally, if I want much of today's American church–at least Mainline and Emergent–to take me seriously, I feel I have to make such a profession of heresy. Heresy has become the new orthodoxy.

A good time to ask what difference it makes when the Jesus of history turns out to be considerably more interesting than the myth-encrusted Christ created by the church over the centuries. Or does it make any difference at all?
read moreIn these perilous times when the very survival of the human species is at stake, there is a desperate need for wisdom to provide guidance. The sacred literature of the world's major religious traditions is a source for such wisdom, but it has largely been misinterpreted and misunderstood, and, thus, instead of being a source for wisdom, it has been a source for confusion and conflict. The ancient scriptures, for the most part, were written in a language which is quite different from ordinary language. It is a mythological language, which is symbolic, and therefore its meaning is hidden. In the Bible, for example, there are many narratives that appear to be historical, but they are history that has been mythologized, and therefore their surface meaning is not their real meaning. Clyde Edward Brown clearly illustrates that the correct interpretation of the world's religious texts would lead to a different concept of religion. Instead of belief in the literal truth of texts that have been misinterpreted, the emphasis would be on having those religious values, such as social and economic justice, which are common to all religions.
read moreMuch has been written on the plight of women in Indian society, but this book presents an effective practical response to the appalling injustices – and a model of hope for agencies and programs for oppressed women around the world. This book recounts the true story of "Maher", a remarkable project and centre for battered women and children located near Pune, India. Founded in 1997, the project has provided refuge to more than 1250 women, half of whom might otherwise have been murdered, committed suicide, or starved to death. Maher is an interfaith community that honours all religions and strongly repudiates caste distinctions – making it a rare beacon shining new hope upon some of the gravest problems in India and around the world. The book is rich with stories – poignant first-hand accounts by women and children whose lives have been transformed by the Maher project. Later chapters explore the larger implications of this pioneering work, with guidance for implementing similar projects elsewhere. Written in a concise narrative style, "Women Healing Women in India" is an easy and compelling read.
read moreIn Correcting Jesus, Brian Griffith patiently and clearly untangles the many strands of the story of Christianity, and the many changes made over the centuries to the original story of Jesus and his message. For any reader who's wondered, "Where did that rule come from?" and "Was it always this way?" Brian's book is the one you've waited for. He's always passionate but direct in his thesis that the original words of Jesus were meant as a basis for a society based on partnership and equity, not the one of domination and hierarchy they're used so often to justify.

read moreIn Brenda Peterson's unusual memoir, fundamentalism meets deep ecology. The author's childhood in the high Sierra with her forest ranger father led her to embrace the entire natural world, while her Southern Baptist relatives prepared eagerly and busily to leave this world. Peterson survived fierce "sword drill" competitions demanding total recall of the Scriptures and awkward dinner table questions ("Will Rapture take the cat, too?") only to find that environmentalists with prophecies of doom can also be Endtimers. Peterson paints such a hilarious, loving portrait of each world that the reader, too, may want to be Left Behind. Her clever take on the "Left Behind" phenomenon in the book's title isn't just a gentle refutation of an escapist religious prophecy. It's an appeal for something more inclusive than the idea that true believers will one day be swept up midair and whisked off to an eternal paradise, leaving the rest of us to fend for ourselves.

No, its not because of too many nuts and such, it was from cooked food and i can't seem to get the dang weight off of me.

Notes from Paris is a series of posts from Valerie Nahmias, Beauty Editor of Femina Magazine in Paris. Brought together by our mutual friend and fashion photographer, Franco Lacosta, her posts will be featured each month bringing us her insights on beauty from products to fabulous tips! Last time, Valerie talked about the Masculine Revolution! Today she lets us in on beauty's connection with art!
How can a step back in time, inspire our vision of beauty? Shocking gold, true blue or red cracking... the miniature "The Hours of the Virgin" speaks about love, women, deep secrets, and reminds me of the passion of one of the biggest french sponsors of his time, Jean de France, the Duke of Berry (1340-1416).
In 1405, this « Prince of the Arts » ordered young artists Paul Herman and Jean de Limbourg, to create a series of miniature illuminations around prayer and worship. Immediate success. That work is a masterpiece of the means age.
Named « Beautiful Hours », this book, property of Metropolitan Museum of Art, is untied the time of an exceptional exhibition.
How can we express this art in our everyday life? By faith, sure, because Glamour is our religion. To the devil the Puritanism, let's live the beautiful hours! And enjoy gloss and make-up, with these tints "shocking" that support perfectly a personality. From the classicism to the modernity, everything takes place on the art to handle these exuberant colors.
YSL, Shu Uemura, Bourjois, M.A.C Cosmetics, Chanel… inspired by the art, those brands play with mascara blue, cheekbones fuchsia, vermilion mouth, lamé golden varnish. Forget about « nude », nothing is more sexy than true colors for summer. and if it is sometimes necessary to go to draw from pastime to be at the top of our time, never forget that we act today for the tomorrow's beauty.
52 days, 1248, it is the number of those Beautiful Hours that we have, to contemplate, with worship, these magnificent icons.
Valerie is the Beauty Editor of Paris' Femina Magazine and it's blog Redaction Beaute and has spent her years in the fashion/beauty industry. She was an assistant at French Elle Magazine for Carine Roitfeld (who is now French Vogue's Editor in Chief) and wrote the book, Pour Etre Belle.

LunarTR1+ and LunarHyperWorkout+
Can your shoes really make a difference in how well you workout? If they're part of the new line of Nike shoes, that certainly seems to be the case.
The new line of Nike+ sport shoes has four pressure sensors inside the sole that wirelessly link to a Nike iPhone app to give you an obscene amount of information about what you're doing.
There's a basketball shoe and a running shoe. The basketball one can give you stats after playing, such as how many times you jumped and how high those jumps were. The jogging version can tell you weight, balance and exertion.
The free iOS apps that will accompany those shoes will also give you workouts which show you what to do and can help you keep track of how well you're doing, thanks, again, to those sensors.
The shoes are just about to hit shelves. The LunarTR1+ basketball shoes will cost about $235, while the LunarHyperWorkout+ running shoes will go for $220.
So your hands don't feel left out, a company called Pressman Toys has just come out with iPieces, little conductive plastic game pieces that work with their corresponding apps.
You can play air hockey with one of those little air hockey mallets, run through a chutes-and-ladders-type game with a physical game piece to place on the board and even go fishing with a little fishing rod.
Right now, there are four types of pieces and four corresponding games available for the iPad. A set of pieces costs $12.99. The apps are free.

A comparative study on design of turkish coffee brewing machines for self-service
Last Updated on Wednesday, 09 February 2011 18:01
Authors: O. Erkarslan, S. Basarir
Institutions: Izmir Institute of Technology (Turkey)
Abstract: Traditional Turkish coffee brewing method has a history of five hundred years, new gadgets which were the rivals of the ibrik, had been designed to meet the 'need of speed', which was the requirement of the era. In this study the history of coffee and the Turkish coffee brewing methods was mentioned. Then three Turkish coffee brewing machines which were chosen from the market was examined according to the level of their customer requirement satisfaction by using (QFD) quality function deployment method. After evaluating the datas obtained from this examination, findings were argued and suggestions were made about which specifications of the products should have been developed in the next generation design of the products.
Keywords: Industrial design, Turkish coffee brewing machines, customer satisfaction, comparative analysis, Turkey
A Model for the Management of Design Project Issues. The Case of the Microsatellites Design
Last Updated on Wednesday, 09 February 2011 17:58
Authors: C. Belleval, I. Deniaud, C. Lerch
Institutions: University of Strasbourg (France)
Abstract: This article studies the resolution of problems related to the design of complex products using a systems engineering approach. We illustrate our discussion with a case study from the space sector pertaining to the design of microsatellites. We postulate that problem complexity depends on the nature of the interaction between product subsystems, as well as on the difficulty of defining an acceptable formulation of the problem by the project team. Our analysis tends to show that although systems engineering is effective for breaking a product into subsystems and managing the resulting issues, it is sometimes inefficient to deal with problems that are difficult to formulate. This is because systems engineering does not explicitly take into account the technical, organizational and cognitive contradictions inherent in the most innovative design problems.
Keywords: Design, contradiction, systems engineering, Vee cycle
Advanced methodology for structuring partners selection criteria
Last Updated on Wednesday, 09 February 2011 17:55
Authors: A. Wehbe1,2, M. Zolghadri2, C. Baron1, G. Auriol1
Institutions: 1INSA de Toulouse, Université de Toulouse (France), 2Université de Bordeaux (France)
Abstract: The company's ability in developing new products is a crucial factor in its commercial success which mostly relies on partner's performance too. These partners by their needed and asked contribution become an integrated part of the industrial strategy. The partner selection task is therefore a more and more risky one because companies have to take account of diversified and complex selection criteria. Consequently, the selection criteria should be structured in order to be feasible for an efficient partner selection. In this paper, we present a methodology for selecting partners, and we use the partners' classification as the main driver of criteria structure. This idea is illustrated through its application to a set of selection criteria taken from the scientific literature.
Keywords: Product design, partner's selection, new product development project, partner network, structuring criteria
Survey on standards for product data exchange and sharing: application in CAD/CAE interoperability
Last Updated on Wednesday, 09 February 2011 17:37
Authors: I. Assouroko1, P. Boutinaud1, N. Troussier2, B. Eynard2, G. Ducellier3
Institutions: 1Cadesis (France), 2Université de Technologie de Compiègne (France), 3Université de Technologie de Troyes (France)
Abstract: Nowadays, PLM systems take a major place in the product development process. PLM implementation through IT environment is a key strategy for collaborative definition and management of product data and knowledge. In order to improve product cost and quality, to reduce time to market, companies and their partners need to exchange and share their data effectively. The aim of the paper is to provide a literature review of research works developed for data and information exchange and sharing between CAD and CAE systems such as implemented in the current PLM strategy. Then, the paper proposes a survey of data exchange protocols and standards. Finally, a more comprehensive approach for software interoperability and data exchange and sharing will be developed.

Geometrical tools for the description and control of functional specifications at the conceptual design phase
Last Updated on Wednesday, 09 February 2011 17:33
Authors: G. Mandil1,2, P. Serre2, M. Moinet2, A. Desrochers1
Institutions: 1Université de Sherbrooke (Canada), 2Supméca Paris (France)
Abstract: This paper presents a geometrical model that uses points and line segments to describe mechanisms at the early phases of the product design process. This model allows the description of an object with a topological matrix and another matrix that contains the metric information about the object. The paper also indicates how to associate two objects represented using this model. Finally, the interest of this model for the mapping of a geometrical requirement along the product life-cycle is shown on a case study.

LONDON — The first Trust Women conference, hosted by Thomson Reuters Foundation and the International Herald Tribune in London this week, boasted an impressive line up of speakers — from Melanne Verveer, the U.S. ambassador-at-large for global women's issues to Christy Turlington Burns of Every Mother Counts to Queen Noor of Jordan, to name a few.
The conference confronted difficult subjects like modern-day slavery, the role of women after the Arab Spring, child marriage, corruption and development. The opening speech was delivered by Daw Aung San Suu Kyi by video.
When she was small, she said, growing up with her widowed mother, she thought women ruled the world. The Burmese politician, the second woman in history to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, said she couldn't empathize more with the title of the conference "Trust Women." "We women have to learn to trust ourselves much more than society has perhaps allowed us to do," she said.
Sessions on how to change laws, enforce existing laws and change mindsets to empower women led inevitably to discussion of the role women themselves play in passing their predicament on to future generations. Shirin Ebadi, the Iranian lawyer and human rights activist featured in my film "Lili's Journey," said, "Men are children of women, they are raised by women, and often these notions of patriarchy are carried from generation to generation even more fiercely by the women themselves."
Dr. Ebadi, also a Nobel Peace Prize laureate, has set out with volunteers to collect one million signatures in Iran to address the gender discrimination laws in the country's constitution. "The aim is not to simply gather these million signatures, but to engage the entire society so that they themselves can be the change from within."
"We tell them useful facts, unbeknownst to many like: Did you know that in an accident, the law dictates that compensation for your male counterpart will be twice the amount of yours?"
Nazir Afzal, Britain's chief crown prosecutor for the northwest, told the conference that he was on a drive to bring those guilty of "the organized crime that is honor killing" to justice.
Most shockingly, he explained to the audience that a missing underage girl in Britain who is forced into marriage and sent back to her parents' native country is not protected by the laws of the Western country in which she was born.
He noted of such girls, "Nobody looks for them when they go missing. When your own family is at the origin of the harm that is being done to you, there is no one else to ring the alarm bell for them."
Home-grown grass-roots action and leadership is needed to change some of these vast issues in different cultures, which are intrinsically linked to strong traditions.
And while the concept of the "white savior complex" crossed a few minds at the conference, it was very obvious that the activists represented today need support but are deemed best placed to know how far to stretch their own communities, challenging their own specific circumstances and heritage.
They are not expecting anybody else to do it for them. Mabel van Oranje, senior adviser to the group of global leaders known as The Elders, said, for instance, that "in the African countries where we are active, we are often told to keep our nose out, but the word of Desmond Tutu, the word of Kofi Annan is highly respected … to
them, it is the voice that comes from within" Africa.
The panel on the role of women and the Arab Spring brought out some of these perspectives. When the journalist Katrin Bennhold of the International Herald Tribune asked the panel of women from Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain and Egypt whether they perceive Western women to be charging around with notions of what is best for them, the answer was rather candid.
"We are not here to import Western laws," said Alaa Murabit, the founder of Voice of Libyan Women. Then she added, "We need a more accurate interpretation of the Shariah law to establish our new constitution."
The comment upset an Iranian delegate who begged for clarification on what exactly it meant for women to be subjected to Shariah. What is the provision for women in a correct interpretation of Shariah law when it comes to gender equality, access to your children and to financial independence? The outburst threw a lot of questions into the air. They remained unanswered.
Personally, since producing my film, "Lili's Journey," on women's empowerment, I am compelled by the topic of public-private partnerships to achieve some of the important development goals broached during the conference.
At the end of a two-day meeting that created dozens of new connections, fresh stories and much determination to act, Emma Bonino took the stage — epitomizing all that energy, and vowing to take it to Yangon, where she plans to spend time over the Christmas holidays with Aung San Suu Kyi. Who knows, she speculated, perhaps we can go there next year?
Noting that much of the conference had dwelled on how to empower women and get things moving in Africa, Asia or the Middle East, Emma reminded everyone in no uncertain fashion that "we in Europe still have a very, very long way to go."
The latest example, she said, was the failure to get a woman on to the board of the European Central Bank. Comparing the many struggles faced by women today to one of her first campaigns — to legalize abortion in Italy in the 1970s — she urged everyone present to stay focused, and to fight for laws because they do make a difference. They are the first step to ensuring that achievements are "set in stone," so "that there is no going back," she insisted, recalling the joy she had felt when abortion was allowed in Italy, that she was no longer someone campaigning for something illegal, but working to make something that was legal work well.
Activists should remember, she added, that it is important to ask governments, politicians and other individuals and institutions to do their social duty. "We must pretend that institutions are capable of reacting to the needs of people," she said. "We must mob them….The more we leave them alone, the happier they are!"

Three senior crew from a foreign-charter vessel have been charged with illegally dumping fish at sea under the Fisheries Act. These charges were called in the Christchurch District Court today and have been adjourned until 18 September. No pleas were entered. The vessel was contracted to fish for a New Zealand fishing company and is registered in Malta and has a Polish crew. Ministry of Fisheries Christchurch Investigations Manager John Slaughter said the charges relate to the vessel fishing for hoki in New Zealand's Exclusive Economic Zone east of the South Island. Mr Slaughter said crew members approached an MFish observer on board the vessel with evidence from a previous trip of dumping fish in contravention of the Fisheries Act 1996. The alleged offending occurred on a trip between May and July this year. "MFish compliance staff met the vessel when it came into Lyttelton on Sunday night and have been interviewing crew members this week, resulting in these charges." Mr Slaughter said dumping fish undermines the ongoing sustainability of New Zealand's fisheries and was taken extremely seriously by MFish. The investigation will continue and culpability of other parties involved will also be considered.
Fish-dumping is the illegal practice of getting rid of less valuable fish, including small and damaged fish, from a vessel's catch at sea. This allows catches to be made up of more valuable fish. This practice can also be referred to as "high-grading", as only the highest grade fish are retained. With some species, bigger fish fetch a better price, so small individuals are dumped. Some species are less valuable and are sometimes dumped. Damaged fish are less valuable and are sometimes dumped.
New Zealand's fisheries are carefully managed under the Quota Management System. The QMS sets annual limits for how much of each species can be caught so enough fish are left to breed and ensure the population will be sustainable in the future. Fishers must report the weight of each fish species they catch, so fisheries managers can ensure limits are not exceeded, and can monitor the health of each fish stock. When fish is dumped at sea without any reporting, these fish are not accounted for and are essentially over and above the limits set under the QMS. This puts the sustainability and future of the fishery at risk.

"Very long periods of unemployment were only rarely reported in the United States before the Great Recession. Laid-off workers, along with those just entering the labor force, typically found jobs relatively quickly," the Brookings Institution wrote in a report titled "Long-Term Unemployment: Anatomy of the Scourge." "From 1990 to 2007, for example, more than a quarter of all American workers who were classified as unemployed in a given month found jobs the following month."
If Obama's assertion that "our rights are wrapped up in the rights of others" is correct, then we all should do a better job at helping these folks. And part of that may be just seeking to understand them.
Is the State of our Union strong?
After Peters greeted me at the door, she settled into her patchwork chair, one of the only pieces of furniture she kept after the eviction notice came a couple weeks ago.
She knew the day would come. She was months behind on rent. But she had hoped to buy more time. She gathered up her things and called friends and family members to scrape together the money to pay the deposit on this new place, a duplex in a neighborhood so close to the airport that a plane swooping overhead gave me the "Duck!" reflex. She also called homeless shelters, thinking that might be her only option if the money didn't come through.
She thanks God daily that she has a roof over her head.
At the beginning of Obama's speech, Peters was optimistic. And she was encouraged, initially, that the president was focusing on jobs. The president rattled off positive stats about the economy -- 6 million new jobs, a stock market that's "rebounding," a housing sector on the mend -- before declaring that "the state of our union is strong."
Something about that didn't sit quite right with Peters. She wanted to hear more about jobs.
Obama went on, saying that far too many Americans are out of work ("Thank you! Now you're talking!"), and Peters decided to tell me a story of her own. Her daughter was at school recently when a teacher asked her what she would ask Martin Luther King Jr. if she had one question. "I would ask Martin Luther King to give my momma a job," she said. "When she told me that, I bursted out crying," Peters told me.

I post this here because there was nowhere else I could think of and it's still Blizzard related.

What resolution do iTunes movie rentals display in with this adapter if I got the HD version? Full 1080p?
- Asked by Gabriel V from San Jose
- Nov 30, 2012
The iTunes movie rentals would display at the max resolution of the adapter, which, unfortunately, i s 1600 x 900. This is due to the fact that the cable has inside it a computer chip, which decodes the information from the iPad, and then up scales it to 1080p, so the image is first compressed, and then expanded again, decreasing the image quality. However, due to the fact that the cord has a chip inside it, it may be possible to update the chip, and increase the resolution in the future. Until then, though, the true resolution of the video is up scaled 1600 x 900, whether you have the HD version or not. …

Having run out of patience for Congress to act on a cybersecurity bill, President Obama has decided to take matters into his own hands.
Obama signed an executive order on Tuesday addressing the country's most basic cybersecurity needs and highlighted the effort in his State of the Union address.
"We cannot look back years from now and wonder why we did nothing in the face of real threats to our security and our economy," Obama said.
The order will make it easier for private companies in control of the nation's critical infrastructure to share information about cyberattacks with the government. In return, the Department of Homeland Security will share "sanitized" classified information with companies about attacks believed to be occurring or that are about to take place.
The order also directs the government to work with the private sector on standards that will help protect companies from cybercrime, though there is nothing in the order about how this will be enforced.
This is hardly comprehensive, but at least it's something aimed at protecting our nation's power, water and nuclear systems from attack. That's more than Congress can say it has accomplished. Lawmakers failed to pass any of the dozens of cybersecurity bills aimed at meaningfully securing critical infrastructure from an online criminals.
Meanwhile, the number of attacks on critical infrastructure companies reported to a U.S. Department of Homeland Security cybersecurity response team grew by 52% in 2012, according to a recent report. Several of them resulted in successful break-ins.
While Obama's plan to remedy the problem is a start, critics say it has major limitations that make the order virtually meaningless.
"It doesn't have any teeth; it has no backing," said Rob Beck, critical infrastructure cybersecurity consultant for Casaba Security. "This is not going to have any measurable impact on anything."
Administration officials acknowledged the order's limitations on Tuesday, but insisted the changes will have a meaningful impact.

Christina Milian suffered a major wardrobe malfunction in Miami!
Last week, C. Mili got into a war of words with her ex-husband and baby daddy The-Dream, but from the look of things, she's not letting it get her down.
DETAILS: The Dream Has A Change Of Heart, Apologizes To Christina
The "Dip It Low" songstress was spotted taking a dip in the water, when a huge wave knocked her snakeskin print mono-kini completely out of whack, exposing her butt crack and nipple.
DETAILS: Christina Gets Support For Being A Great Mother
The shocked mother quickly adjusted her swimsuit and covered her nipple, but it was too late - the paparazzi already captured the moment on film.
Christina was a good sport about the whole ordeal, hopping on Twitter to give props to the South Beach wave that crashed into her.
"#SouthBeach love the sound of the waves crashing #crashintoyou"
It's all fun in South Beach. Check out the pictures of Christina Milian's fun-filled time in South Beach.

If you are over the age of 49, you need to take the story of a comedian and a hopelessly lost television network seriously. And even if you are younger, it's worth considering that you likely hope to live way past 49, as well. I might add that if you are a conservative or Republican, you need to check your ideology and political affiliation at the door for a moment.
Yes, North Korea is rattling its saber again, and Iran continues to threaten Israel. But those are like repeats of "The Tonight Show," old news. No, we have a bigger battle looming here. We all know that the world of television and its advertisers value the youngest of viewers the most. I mean, after all, the youngest viewers have so much disposable income and routinely settle down to watch 11:30 p.m. network entertainment shows — not!
And, yes, I know that Jay Leno, like most on network TV, is a self-proclaimed "liberal," but I could care less. Next to David Letterman, he looks like Barry Goldwater.
The problem is that Leno — the most watched late night host in America — happens to be in his sixties. You see, the jerks at Comcast - who, in my opinion, ought to get their horrible customer service and often crummy reception under control first — have reportedly decided, through their new brilliant leadership of NBC, to shove Leno aside in favor of a Jimmy Fallon-hosted and New York-based "Tonight Show."
Fallon is a likeable and funny guy. And he is in his thirties so he has greater potential to appeal to younger viewers in years to come. I get all of that. But what puzzles me is why a guy who has continually won the ratings war and is, by virtually every account, a good and decent man, has to be jerked around by a network whose news department seems an adjunct of a presidential administration and has some of the worst primetime programming since the days of "My Mother the Car."
This is all about age and ego. Comcast takes over NBC, so of course they have to apply their "corporate culture" to everything, including one of the few shows they have that isn't in the tank. What next, will they yank SNL because they deem Lorne Micheals is too darn old to know what's funny? Perhaps they can replace him with their MSNBC talk show host, the Reverend Al Sharpton. Listening to him struggle on air is about as funny as anything the owners of NBC and its related companies seem to be capable of producing.
The critics generally hate Leno, because to them he's too much a part of "average" America. He doesn't have the endless — and I mean endless — sarcasm of Letterman and actually refrains from attacking people. He's not cutting edge. He's too much the apple pie American. Oh and he's too funny to a majority of Americans.
And NBC doesn't seem to really care about those of us who are, say 50 years old, have worked hard, saved money and have real disposable income. Most of the MSNBC "news hosts" advocate that we be taxed to death or "share the wealth" with government. NBC's so-called top news correspondents are not very adroit at hiding their similar views.
What Leno does is make even us folks in our late-40s, 50s, or older take an hour to forget how hard we have worked. He takes our attention away from how much liberty and personal resources we have lost through the idiotic moves of both Democrat and Republican leaders. And when he does focus on these matters, he brings us together for a laugh. He is an equal opportunity offender with his humor, but one with a heart.
It seems like the last person to accomplish what Jay Leno has achieved was a man named Johnny Carson. Lord knows he wouldn't have survived the "too cool for school" geniuses at today's NBC either. After all, "Carnac the Magnificent" would have never flown with a 26-year-old viewer with two college loans to pay off and money left over for pizza once a week.
So Jay, although I don't know you and likely never will, this is for you … I think I now know why NBC has shows named "Grimm," "The Biggest Loser," and "Deception," — they all seem to represent the mood, performance level and tactics of top NBC executives. My best guess is that these same experts described themselves perfectly when they also scheduled "Betty White's Off Their Rockers." Because that's just what the new leaders at NBC are … off their rockers!

Kaneland boys golf in 10th place after first day
Moments after finishing lunch following their rounds at the IHSA Class 2A state meet, Kaneland boys golfers voted to take a field trip.
Forget the hotel. The Knights departed the clubhouse at Illinois State's Weibring Golf Club in Normal and headed for The Den at Fox Creek in adjacent Bloomington.
The Den is the site of this weekend's 3A meet, but the Knights had no interest in watching. They bellied up to the pro shop counter, paid for a few buckets and took aim at the range.

This is true for the most part. Also, communicating mainly by text takes the pressure out of translating what your Japanese friends are saying (either from Japanese or from "English").
Cliodhna wrote:When you receive your bill in the mail, all you have to do is go to your nearest convenience store (as long as it's listed as ok on the back of the bill- generally 711 is the place to go), and as you're shopping, put your bill on top of your items of purchase and the bill will be added as part of the price. You pay them (cash), they stamp your bill in two places, hand you back the stub, and you've paid your cell phone bill. Incidentally enough, you can also pay your utility bills in the exact same way. It's pretty nifty. Don't be afraid when you have to thumb out ¥30,000 on the counter for bills, though. It's normal, and you're not going to get mugged on your way out.
It's true that you can do this, but there is a small fee for paying this way (or there was 4 years ago, at least). I don't remember exactly what I did, but I know I paid at the combini only once. I know I paid a couple months up front, so that took care of part of the issue. I think you can go to one of your provider's stores and pay for free there? That being said, if you're inaka, it's probably easier to just pay the fee at Lawson's or whatever.
Side-note for the being mugged part: I'm not going to say that nothing will happen to you crime-wise in Japan, because there are definitely (rare) instances where people were attacked (I know I read an account of a near-rape on either the JET site or in the handbook), but you'll probably feel and be safer than you would be in America (I don't know about other home countries, but I assume it's similar).
During the orientation at my Japanese school, there was the following exchange with the exchange students coordinator:
Coordinator (asking a room full of Westerners): How many of you think Japan is the safest country in the world?
(almost everyone raises his or her hand)
Coordinator, shaking his head and completely serious: It may seem like it, but let me tell you something: We have a shoplifting problem.
(the room was full of stifled laughter)

Excellent point - I agree! You'll also want to see what your friends have before you decide on a phone or a provider, and shopping for a phone and seeing all the differences from your own country's phones is very fun.

I think this can actually go either way. Cancelling my cell phone was one of the few financial-type things I did without a fluent Japanese speaker, a salesperson who spoke English, or a precise note from the (Japanese) exchange student coordinator along with me. The lady was very nice, but there was some miscommunication about whether or not I wanted to keep my phone, so she almost took it from me. I don't know if I would've gotten money back; I was frazzled enough trying to express that I wanted to keep it without trying to ask other questions.
And now I've said almost as much as Cliodhna did - oops!
