We introduce an exactly solvable model to test various proposals for the imposition of the spin foam simplicity constraints. This model is a three-dimensional Holst-Plebanski action for the gauge group SO(4), in which the simplicity constraints mimic the situation of the four-dimensional theory. In particular, the canonical analysis reveals the presence of secondary second class constraints conjugated to the primary ones. We perform the spin foam quantization of the theory in the spirit of the BC and EPRL models, and give arguments for modifying the measure over the holonomies in order to account for the presence of the secondary second class constraints.

Best Kids Parties: Dinosaurs
Name: Julian (3)
Location: Los Angeles, CA
Like most boys his age, JD loves dinosaurs but we can honestly only credit this love for dinosaurs to the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles! We began visiting the museum with him in 2010 and became members soon after; we haven't stopped visiting it since.
When the Dinosaur Hall opened last year JD became completely fascinated with dinosaurs and fossils. There isn't a week that goes by that he doesn't ask to go to the "Dino Museum." So, when the time came to plan his 3rd birthday party we knew dinosaurs would be the theme. When we found out the NHM of Los Angeles had a birthday party program, we didn't have to think twice about the location.
The Natural History Museum's birthday party program is really great! They provide everything you need to throw an amazing dinosaur party, everything but the food and cake! The program even provides event assistants (really awesome assistants) to help you run your party and direct all the activities and games. All your party guests also get admission to the museum for the day!
Thanks Adriana! Readers, see more of Julian's dino party at Quaintly Garcia.

Telling people you're expecting a baby is one of the most delightful -- and most anxiety-provoking -- times of your life. Chances are, you immediately let your family and close friends know the good news. But when it comes to informing your boss, you hesitate.
"When I told my boss, I was so nervous, he couldn't tell if I was happy about it," says Anna Kelleher, an assistant manager for a nonprofit foundation in San Francisco. "He looked at me and said, ëIs this a good thing?'"
No matter how nervous you are, your maternity leave is one matter you must address in a timely, professional way. By preparing for such a discussion, you can cut a good deal with your boss -- and cut out a lot of stress.
Do the Legwork
Your first step is to find out what you are entitled to, both legally and from your employer. Get to know the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. Under the FMLA, you can take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave if your company has at least 50 employees within a 75-mile radius and if you have worked for your employer for at least one year and for a minimum of 1,250 hours. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act prohibits job bias against pregnant women and requires that a pregnant woman is entitled to the same benefits afforded other employees who are temporarily medically disabled.
The next step is to learn what your employer offers. That information is available in your employee handbook or by talking with the person in your company who handles benefits.
"If your employer has a handbook, you can ask your human-resources representative for it without saying why you need it," says Ellen Bravo, codirector of 9to5, National Association of Working Women, in Milwaukee. Typically, the handbook tells you whether you are covered by the FMLA, the length of leave you're allowed, and whether all or part of it is paid. (When your leave is paid, it is sometimes called disability pay and often is a percentage of your regular pay.) The handbook usually spells out the policy on using sick days and vacation days for your leave as well.
If you're friendly with colleagues who've taken a leave, discreetly ask them what they worked out. Your coworkers may tell you that three months off is the best deal you can get or clue you in to how to negotiate a more generous maternity leave with your boss.
Make a Plan
Once you know your rights and your boss's inclinations, you can decide what plan works best for you. Factor in your budget, the availability of affordable childcare in your area, and your gut feelings about how long a leave you'd like to take.
Whatever you decide, clearly communicate what you want from your boss, both verbally and in a memo. Specifically, your memo should include the terms of your leave: the number of weeks of paid maternity or disability leave; any vacation or personal days; and any additional unpaid leave.
It should also include a list of your duties, what tasks you expect to have completed when you leave, and suggestions as to how your work can be handled while you're out. If your job is multifaceted, you can suggest delegating your work to a number of people.
A Matter of Timing
When should you tell? Professionally speaking, it's better to give your employer as much notice as possible. She'll probably appreciate the early notification and that goodwill may carry over in your negotiations and in your ongoing relationship with the company.
Although the FMLA allows for exceptions ó in the case of early labor or complications, for instance ó under normal circumstances, it requires that you let your employer know your expected last day no later than 30 days in advance. That means you must notify your supervisor by your eighth month (by which time the situation should be screamingly obvious!).
While many women wait until they've completed their first trimester, after which time the risk of miscarriage is reduced, others have a different time frame. One woman informed her boss at two months because she was showing early. Another waited until four and a half months, after she'd received her job evaluation and raise. "I wanted to make sure my salary increase went through," explains editor Carol Killmaster of Chicago.
Mind Your Health
Health factors can also influence your decision to tell your boss early in your pregnancy. "If you need to put your head on your desk every lunch hour for a nap, you may want to tell your supervisor earlier," says Robin Hardman, communications director for the Families and Work Institute in New York City.
That's what happened with BabyTalk senior associate editor Kristin O'Callaghan, who informed her bosses of her pregnancy when she was seven weeks along. "I had to explain why I was late for work and needed to lie down," she says.
And if your work environment or the job's rigors are potentially harmful to you or your fetus, you should tell your employer right away so you can discuss changing some of your responsibilities. Such jobs could include working with chemicals in a laboratory or factory, standing all day while styling hair or working at a checkout counter, or lifting heavy objects.
Whenever you tell, be sure not to blurt out the news to the office blabbermouth before informing your boss. "If your supervisor finds out through the grapevine, it sets up an atmosphere of distrust," warns Linda Anderson, a consultant with Hewitt Associates, which is a benefits consulting firm in Lincolnshire, IL.
When Patty Patino-Serrano, an account representative from Cicero, IL, informed her boss she was pregnant, he didn't seem as ecstatic as her mother had been. But, Patino-Serrano says, when he found out she wasn't quitting, he was so relieved, all he could say was, "Wow! Congratulations!"

Anorexic Teens May Gain From Whole-Family Treatment
MONDAY, Oct. 4 (HealthDay News) -- Family-based treatment for anorexic teenagers may be more effective in the long-term than individual counseling, a new study finds.
"Family therapy has been part of the landscape for the treatment of anorexia nervosa for maybe 40 years, but this specific form has been evolving as a likely effective treatment for the last 10," said Dr. James Lock, lead author of a study in the October issue of Archives of General Psychiatry. "But this is the first study to actually compare this treatment to an active treatment."
Anorexia nervosa, an eating disorder most common among teenage girls, can stunt growth, delay puberty and reduce peak bone mass. Almost 6 percent of anorexics die from heart failure or suicide each decade, the authors write.
"Family treatment is offered in specialty centers but not typically available in most communities," said Lock, a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine. "This would be an argument to bolster [its] availability, and training people to be able to use it."
The family therapy model featured in this trial involved the family in treatment as opposed to simply blaming parents for causing the disorder.
"The tradition through much of modern mental health was the parents were somehow the fault or to be blamed, and for treatment you had to get the patient out from underneath the family that caused it," said Dr. Richard E. Kreipe, medical director of the Child and Adolescent Eating Disorders Program at Golisano Children's Hospital, University of Rochester Medical Center.
But practitioners are moving away from this model.
"The idea here is that the disorder is disabling and confusing to both the patient and to the family, and that the family actually needs to learn how to help directly solve the problem of the child eating and over-exercising, and find solutions at home where the child is living," explained Lock, who is also psychiatric director of the Comprehensive Eating Disorders Program at Stanford's Lucile Packard Children's Hospital.
"It's behaviorally focused. It's process focused. It absolutely really makes the point that families, as far as we know, aren't the cause," Lock said.
The family therapy explored in this study focused on parents actively helping kids learn to eat and gain weight, then turning more autonomy over to the patients as their functioning improves.
Here, 121 adolescents, mostly girls, were randomly assigned to receive either family-based therapy or individual therapy. They ranged in age from 12 to 18 years.
Both groups received 24 hours of professional treatment over the course of a year. Follow-ups were scheduled six and 12 months after treatment ended.
At the end of treatment, both groups had the same full remission rates with full remission defined partly as achieving normal or close-to-normal weight and displaying an average number of symptoms.
But differences started to emerge at the six- and 12-month marks.
At six months, 40 percent of those in family-based treatment were in full remission versus 18 percent of those in individual therapy. At one year, the numbers were 49 percent and 23 percent, respectively.
"Anorexia nervosa is very difficult to treat, but the important issue is the data are becoming increasingly clear that the long-term outcomes, especially if you can get patients into treatment early, are extremely positive," said Kreipe, who is also medical director of the Western New York Comprehensive Care Center for Eating Disorders and past president of the Society of Adolescent Health & Medicine.
"We would be better off if we defined anorexia as a developmental illness rather than a mental illness," Kreipe added. "This has to do with being an adolescent, [and] issues of autonomy and control and physical control as one goes through puberty. Yes, it has a mental element but also a biological piece and a psychological piece."

With the recent launch of Google Play to replace the Android Market, it seems clear that Google is planning some major moves, likely to compete with its most obvious competitor, Apple's iTunes and iBooks. This doesn't require much explanation as to why, since it would be a vital move for Google to expand its services in order to remain in a contending position. It seems that in addition to offering apps, movies, music and e-books, Google is planning to offer audiobooks, magazines and newspapers as well.
The initial sighting was in the in the Google Play Help Center by Google news site Google Operating System, with empty pages for "Audio Books" and "Magazines and Journals". Also noted is Google's registration of several place holder domains such as googleplaymagazines.com, googleplaynewspapers.com, googleplaynewsstand.com and googleplaytv.com among various other iterations of these themes. Looks to me like Google is planning another major update to its services, and I for one will welcome them with open arms when they're released some time in the future.

VALDOSTA, Ga. – The No. 22 Georgia College golf squad is ninth after two rounds Monday at the First Federal Southeastern Collegiate, hosted by Valdosta State University. The Bobcats stand at plus-11 after rounds of 295 and 292 at the Kinderlou Forest Golf Club.
GC is just eight strokes out of the top-five after posting two rounds at the par-72, 7,140-yard course.
Sophomore Victor Monte (Chantilly, Va.) is just outside the top-10 in 11th, posting a 69 and 73 for two-over par. His first round featured five birdies, including four on the front half.
Junior Patrick Garrett (Kennesaw, Ga.) rebounded nicely from an opening round 76 with a 68. The No. 38 player in the country stands 17th at even par. In round two, Garrett posted an eagle on the par-five 11th hole, and was at par or better on all of the back nine.
Classmate Taylor Smith (Mansfield, Ga.) followed a 72 with a 76 and sits 33rd at four-over par. No. 67 in the nation, Smith birdied the par-four No. 14 twice today.
Freshmen David Sullivan (Woodstock, Ga.) and Ryan Trocchio (Norcross, Ga.) are both tied at 66th. Sullivan shaved five strokes off a first round 80 for a counting score in round two at 75. Trocchio capped a 78 with a 77 in today's action.
The University of North Alabama's Tyler Chandler leads the field at 10-under par, three strokes better than the field. Riding Chandler's success, the No. 13 Lions are in first place in the team race at minus-six. No. 3 Barry University is just a stroke behind, and No. 1 Lynn University only three.
The Bobcats rank third among the five Peach Belt Conference (PBC) schools in the 14-team tournament, and are ahead of one nationally-ranked team in No. 5 Georgia Southwestern State University.
The Bobcats get started in the first group tomorrow, as Sullivan is set to tee off at 8:30 a.m. with golfers from Florida Tech and Columbus State University.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level.

MoonCheese wrote:Don't make a Halo theme! Why not something based on a videogame series that's actually good, like Final Fantasy or Zelda?
1. A licensed theme should tap into a proven long term product, so it's not just a flash in the pan that will be on the clearance shelves in six months.
2. A licensed theme should be broad in scope - not just limited to a particular movie, but rather into a whole universe surrounding that theme. That way you won't run out of set designs after a year.
3. A licensed theme should appeal to both kids and adults. Bonus if there is already an established collector/geek community among adults.
4. A licensed theme should provide something that a non-licensed theme does not. Ideally this should be more than just minifigs.
5. A licensed theme should have a variety of build possibilities - ideally both vehicles and locations.

Vatican Expert Reveals Secret of Padre Pio's Holiness
Like Teresa de Lisieux, He Was Obsessed With Saving Souls
OME, APR 29 (ZENIT).- Only days before the beatification of Padre Pio, Rome is beginning to come under siege by the thousands of groups converging on the Eternal City to be a part of this historic moment.
onservative estimates expect at least half a million people but, on the
street, most agree with Guido from Bologna who says: "at least a million,
maybe more. Ain't been nothing like this since the times of St. Francis!"
Perhaps. The fact is that even the government television station is
suggesting that people stay home and watch it on TV so as not to overburden the already strained public transport system that is not-quite-ready for the enormous influx of pilgrims expected this weekend in Rome.
f course, true to style, the Italians go about their business with little
regard for "official" suggestions and are turning out from every corner of
the country if only to be able to say "they were here." They are arriving
in buses, campers, cars, trains, and planes, even an Italian pilgrimage on
bicycles has added to the popular folklore sure to be remembered for years
to come. Or at least until next year's Jubilee begins and shatters all
previous records.
his weekend in Italy is shaping up to look like St. Patrick's Day in
Ireland where the only two kinds of people are devotees of Padre Pio, and
those who wish they were.
n order to better understand the person of Padre Pio, the Vatican news
agency 'Fides' interviewed Fr Fidel Gonzales, Consultor of the Congregation
for the Causes of Saints, who has read 104 volumes of documentation on the life and work of this humble friar. Fr. Gonzales is a Comboni missionary
who worked in Africa for 11 years and currently is professor of Church
History at the Pontifical Urban University and the Pontifical Gregorian
ell us about the holiness of Padre Pio.
R. GONZALEZ: The life, work and virtues of a Saint are an expression of
Christ's mystery. A Saint is a person who at a certain time in history
reveals the face of Christ to those around him. Tommaso of Celano, who
wrote a biography of Saint Francis of Assisi, writes in the prologue:
"Francis renewed the Church by showing that poverty and inner freedom are a path to holiness". The foundation of the Order was an extension in time and
space of St Francis' charity. This also applies very well to Padre Pio: he
was a "Franciscus redivivus," a new Saint Francis, gifted with the very
same charisma. He brought the charisma of Saint Francis nearer to our day.
eople were drawn to Padre Pio while he was alive and they still are,
indeed even more since his death. In 1997, Pope Paul VI held him up as a
model of holiness: "Look at his fame. Look at all the people from all over
the world he gathered round him! Why? Was he a philosopher or a man of
great wisdom, or a man of many means? ... Because he said Mass with deep
humility, heard confessions from morning to night... because he was a man
of prayer and of suffering!"
hat would you say was at the heart of Padre Pio 's experience?
R. GONZALEZ: A reflection by Cardinal Siri touches, I think, the nucleus
of Padre Pio's charismatic experience: intimate sharing in the spiritual
pain of Christ's passion. "It is in Our Lord's agony in the Garden -- the
Cardinal writes -- that Padre Pio has the most profound and intimate
spiritual experience (...) His mission was to renew Christ's Passion". This
is the nucleus of Padre Pio's experience, found again and again in the
documentation and in his writings.
ould you say Padre Pio was a missionary?
R. GONZALEZ: His suffering itself had clearly a missionary dimension,
since the suffering of Christ is a redeeming suffering, for the salvation
of all mankind. Padre Pio was fully aware that through his physical and
interior suffering he shared in Christ's saving mystery for the salvation
of the world. He realized that he was completing the Lord's Passion for the
good of the Church, as Saint Paul says: "I complete in my body what is
lacking in the sufferings of Christ for his body, that is the Church". (Col
1,24). Indeed he was ever more aware of this as the years passed. On
November 6th 1919 he wrote: "Poor me, I am exhausted and plunged into the deepest sadness, amidst the most profound anguish, not that I will never
see my God, but that I will not be able to win all people for God". His one
concern in life was the salvation of sinners. His whole life was centered
on the fact that salvation is universal and must be communicated to all men
and women.
nother missionary trait of his life was that he saw time, not as his own,
but as belonging to others. He devoted himself entirely to encouraging and
consoling other people. For many sinners Padre Pio was the embrace of
Christ which is a new beginning. Although, like Saint Teresa the Little
Flower, patroness of Missions, was never to go on mission, he participated
in the mission of communicating salvation.
oreover the great works he left us are signs of his profound missionary
spirit. These works are also a demonstration of his sociability: he was not
a mystic. He was acutely aware of the suffering of mankind and his great
desire was to alleviate it. Padre Pio could not remain passive in front of
human suffering: he felt he had to do something. The hospital is but one
fruit of his concern, his charity. He involved prayer groups formed of
people wishing to share his spiritual experience and so his missionary
charity was immediately concretized.
hat gift did Padre Pio bring to the Church?
R. GONZALEZ: With Padre Pio the Church has been enriched in many ways. He helped thousands of people to renew their life as Christians, to rediscover their faith or to find it for the first time. In November 1922 he writes in his notes that he heard a voice saying "Be more holy and make others holy!" Moreover his life was lived within the Franciscan charisma. His
consecration to Christ followed the charisma of Francis, an awareness which
never left him. He also brought a strong new thrust to this Franciscan
charisma, making it more vital and active in the Church.
s a missionary priest yourself, what have you learned from Padre Pio?
R. GONZALEZ: I was struck by his total adhesion to the Passion, the love he showed in prayer with the Lord, his charity, love towards others, born of an experience of divine love. As a missionary I feel keenly his concern for the sufferings of the whole world, but also the harmony which the Holy Spirit breathed into his being: he lived a spiritual infancy, always a
child, just like Saint Teresa, joyfully expectant of the Holy Spirit's surprises. I was also moved by the way he said Mass, by his gentleness in the confessional. Both as a missionary and a priest, I have benefited from knowing Padre Pio. He strengthened my vocation, helping me to be a more
committed priest, open to the whole Church. I approached him not only as a
scholar, that was my task: drawing near to Padre Pio has been a special grace for my spiritual life, as a priest and as a missionary.

An 84-year-old, longtime Raceland mechanic, who died April 22, was a "fun-lovin' " man who loved to dance and smile, said friends and family Wednesday.
Chance Ryan
Staff Writer
An 84-year-old, longtime Raceland mechanic, who died April 22, was a "fun-lovin' " man who loved to dance and smile, said friends and family Wednesday.
Irvin "T.U." Robichaux died at home due to heart complications. He was a native and resident of Raceland who owned T.U.'s Garage in town.
"He loved to make people laugh," said daughter Rhonda Folse. "It was his No. 1 hobby."
Folse said her father loved living his life to the fullest.
"He was always having parties and having people come over to dance, play the guitar and sing songs," she said.
As a mechanic for 40 years, Robichaux took pride in his work and taught his daughters to do the same, Folse said.
"Go to work and do the best that you can do," Robichaux always told his three daughters, Folse said. "And to this day, all of his girls work very hard, and we're proud of who we are."
While in his 30s, Robichaux was also assistant fire chief for the Raceland Fire Department, Folse said.
"My dad was such an authority figure to us. We grew up in total respect to him."
Longtime neighbor and friend of Robichaux, Arthur Blouin, said he and Robichaux had been pals for about 50 years.
"He was a good neighbor and a real friendly fella," Blouin said. "He'd do anything in the world to help somebody."
Blouin echoed Folse's sentiment that Robichaux was a happy guy.
"He loved to dance," he said. "Every time you went out with T.U. — everyone wanted to be out there with him. Him and his wife, Marie, she was just as fun lovin' as he was."
Folse said there must have been about 600 people, "from all walks of life," who attended Robichaux's funeral, which was held April 24 at the Falgout Funeral Home in Raceland.
"Everybody knew him, and everybody loved him, that's all I can say," Blouin said.
Robichaux was buried at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Raceland where he was a parishioner.
He is survived by his wife, Marie Babin Robichaux; daughters, Diana Verdin and husband, Mack, Cindy Turner and husband, Don, and Rhonda Folse and husband, Jacques; brother, Milton "T-Mit" Robichaux; sister, Velma Mayet; nine grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; and two great-great-grandchildren.

Lennon Parham and Jessica St. Clair have made a career out of being best friends -- onscreen and off.
The comedic duo first brought (a thinly-veiled version of) their friendship to television with the short-lived NBC sitcom "Best Friends Forever," about a woman (St. Clair) who gets dumped by her husband and moves in with her best friend (Parham).
The USA Network sitcom "Playing House," now in its second season, switches up the formula ever so slightly: This time, Emma (St. Clair) returns to her hometown to live with her best friend (Parham), who is both pregnant and going through a divorce.

DETROIT (AP) Detroit Lions defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh was issued a traffic citation by a police officer who said Suh was driving fast and passing cars from the right lane of a suburban Detroit roadway.
The Lathrup Village officer gave Suh the ticket on Nov. 15 for driving without due care and caution, but Police Chief William Armstrong told The Associated Press on Tuesday he was not sure the citation would hold up.
The chief was awaiting a call back from the city attorney to discuss the case, which he said was ``in limbo.''
``From my bird's eye view, taking a quick glance at it, I'd say the charge doesn't fit,'' Armstrong said after watching video footage of Suh's driving that day. ``Just looking at the tape, Mr. Suh was traveling faster than the cars around him, but I don't think it was to the extent of driving without due care and caution.''
Suh was not available for comment after practice Tuesday. Coach Jim Schwartz did not appear too concerned about the citation.
``The No. 1 concern is what's here in the facility, and then on the field on Sundays,'' Schwartz said. ``We have traffic citations for a lot of different players. Those generally don't come across my desk and don't really get on our radar when it comes to stuff like that, as long as people are taking care of what they're supposed to be taking care of.''
Word of the traffic stop was reported Monday by Detroit-area TV station WJBK. Earlier that day, the NFL announced it wouldn't suspend Suh for a low blow he delivered to Houston Texans quarterback Matt Schaub on Thanksgiving. Suh was on his chest after being taken down by an offensive lineman and extended his left foot to hit Schaub below the belt.
Suh, 25, was suspended for two games a year ago after he was ejected for stomping on the right arm of Green Bay offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith, also during a game on Thanksgiving. He has been fined in previous seasons for roughing up quarterbacks.
Suh, whom the Lions selected with the second overall pick out of Nebraska in 2010, has been involved in several traffic incidents over the past year.
He was ticketed for speeding, improperly signaling and not carrying proof of insurance during a March stop in his hometown of Portland, Ore. Police said he was driving a BMW 91 mph in a 55 mph zone.
In December 2011, Suh lost control of a car and crashed into a drinking fountain and tree in Portland. A woman has filed a civil lawsuit seeking $1 million from Suh in the crash.
He also was involved in a traffic accident last month in Dearborn. Police in the Detroit suburb said the accident was minor and fault could not be determined. When Suh played at Nebraska he pleaded guilty to negligent driving and paid a $60 fine after crashing into three parked cars.
Schwartz chuckled when asked if it might benefit Suh to hire a driver.
``Honestly, I think it would be best for every single player in the NFL to have a driver,'' Schwartz said. ``I don't know if that's always feasible and things like that, but I think there are a lot of situations that can be avoided ... if you have a driver. And it just takes something else off your radar, and he certainly is in a very fortunate position that he could afford something like that.
``We want all our players to be good citizens off the field, to be safe drivers, to pay parking tickets - all those things. That's just all part of being a member of society.''
Associated Press writer David Runk and AP Sports Writers Larry Lage and Noah Trister contributed to this report.

Naked Barley: The Best Grain
Pearl barley has by far the lowest glycemic index of any grain ever tested. Its GI is 25. Next lowest is rye, but only in the form of its whole kernels, with a GI of 34. Low glycemic is good for people with diabetes, because it has little effect on our blood glucose levels.
But pearl barley is not a whole grain, according to the National Barley Foods Council. When processors prepare pearl barley, we lose some of the insoluble fiber, trace minerals, and micronutrients.
The government's "Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005" encourages us to eat whole grains. Its definition of a whole grain is one that "must retain nearly the same relative proportions of bran, germ, and endosperm as the original grain."
If we look hard enough, we can get the whole grain form of barley. It almost certainly has an even lower glycemic index than pearl barley.
Whole grain barley goes by many names. Most common is "hulless barley," at least according to a Google search, which returns 31,300 hits. But 16,000 sites call it "hull-less barley." Even less common is "hullless barley," with just 61 hits.
Because all those letter "l's" come together, the name is awkward. I prefer to call it "naked barley." Anyway, that's what processors often call it. It's not what most people have in mind when they put a "Get Naked" bumper sticker on their cars, but it's probably a better idea.
You can get naked barley, aka hulless barley, at some of the larger Wild Oats stores. A great Internet and mail order source of hulless barley that I have used for years is Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods in Milwaukie, Oregon.
Naked barley has a pleasant chewy texture and more fiber and nutritional value than pearl barley. Unlike most grains, it takes 4 cups of water to every cup of barley. I learned that lesson early on, when I used just a 2 to 1 proportion and produced something that was almost inedible.
Nowadays, I cook it in a small rice cooker that has become solely my barley cooker. I add the naked barley to soups - particularly Campbell's very low sodium cream of mushroom soup, stews, and curries. You can use naked barley everywhere that you formerly used rice.
Naked barley makes a great low-GI breakfast. Sweeten it with Splenda, add some cinnamon and soy milk, and you have a real comfort food.
Whole Control's Golden Barley Cereal that I wrote about in November 2005 is a special, all-natural variety of naked (hulless) barley. This is my most frequent breakfast.
In the United States we use barley as food for our animals and as malted barley for the beer industry. There is a new demand for it for in ethanol production. I prefer to drink my malted barley as single malt Scotch whisky and to eat it naked.

DailyOM - Awake at Work by Michael Carroll
Awake at Work
Awake at Work
BY Michael Carroll
When we think of work, we often think of drudgery, frustration, and stress. For too many of us, work is the last place in our lives we expect to experience satisfaction, fulfillment, or spiritual growth. In this unique book, Michael Carroll--a meditation teacher, executive coach, and corporate director--shares Buddhist wisdom on how to transform the common hassles and anxieties of the workplace into valuable opportunities for heightened wisdom and enhanced effectiveness. Carroll shows us how life on the job--no matter what kind of work we do--can become one of the most engaging and fulfilling areas of our lives.
At its heart, Awake at Workoffers thirty-five principles that we can use throughout our day to revitalize our work as well as our understanding of ourselves and others. Carroll invites readers to contemplate these slogans and to use them on-the-spot, in the midst of work's chaos, to develop clarity, wisdom, and inspiration.
Along the way, Carroll presents a variety of techniques and insights to help us acknowledge work, with all its complications, as "a valuable invitation to fully live our lives." In an engaging, accessible, and often humorous style, Awake at Work offers readers a path to rediscovering our natural sense of intelligence, confidence, and delight on the job.
Chapter 15: Open
When we are awake at work, we engage our everyday circumstances from a simple yet powerful perspective: we are open. Without our rehearsals, we are mindful and available, precise in our conduct, and familiar with our feelings and instincts. Our mind and body and our physical setting synchronize, and our jobs become both art and science, spontaneous and planned, relaxing and demanding. By being open at our job, we also discover that our work setting cannot be taken for granted. Where we find ourselves is not just a passing landscape, removed and somewhat two-dimensional. Our desk and tools, customers and colleagues, lunch counter and elevator, all share and display a lively intelligence that weaves through each moment and in all directions. We discover that not only are we open but the situation is profoundly open as well: vivid, inviting, and strangely playful.
Waking up to this mutual openness is something that can and does happen quite naturally, requiring no other technique than simply being human. Just noticing a fall leaf tumble to the pavement or the steam gently rise from a hot cup of coffee can immediately reveal the vastness of this life. Sometimes, particularly when work's tone and pace seem to slow down, we may choose to deliberately remind ourselves to wake up: to be open and acknowledge the openness of our work setting.
At any time during our day we can open ourselves by using the following four simple steps, which I discuss below:
1. Notice, pause, and breathe.
2. Acknowledge mutual openness.
3. Get back to work.
4. Stay open.
Notice, Pause, and Breathe
Being open starts with stopping our minds. We can do so by being mindful of just about anything. Our shoe might be untied; our boss may be walking quickly out the door; a computer screen flickers; a dog barks. And suddenly we notice that our world is simply and energetically happening.
Noticing the sheer immediacy stops our minds instantly. Such moments are signals for us to relax further, to slow down even further. Once we stop and notice the immediate moment, we naturally pause. It's as if there were a gentle invitation to linger--a restful sense that there is nothing to do, nowhere to go. Normally we rush past this pause. Out of anxiety or habit, out of blindness or just speed, we miss the invitation to pause and quickly become removed from the immediacy, talking to ourselves or becoming absorbed in a task once again. But in this case, we deliberately acknowledge the pause by taking a long, deep, unhurried breath.
Acknowledge Mutual Openness
By taking a breath, we accept the invitation to linger with the restful sense of just being present. Lingering in the moment--even for just a split second--can be very personal and touching. There is sharpness to our alertness, yet there is a calm personal warmth as well--a calm alertness. From such a perspective, we consciously acknowledge that we are no longer closed off from our world. Our inner rehearsals, the speed of our job, the worries and firefighting, are not closing us off for that moment; we are simply open, and surprisingly our world is open as well. So open that the world is not what we thought it was all along, so open that our experience is beyond watcher and watched, us and it, before and after. For a split second we may glimpse the vastness of being awake. And then we gently acknowledge this openness, as if quietly within ourselves we joined our hands and gently bowed our heads in respect. At such a moment, we may even be so fortunate as to recognize such openness as an old, old friend.
Get Back to Work
Once we acknowledge this mutual openness, we bring our attention back to the tasks at hand; we literally ''get back to work.'' We do this not to dismiss or ignore the openness but to avoid confining it. By lingering too long with acknowledging openness, we might make the mistake of solidifying our experience, making openness an object of curiosity rather than what it actually is: this very moment completely free from any agenda or reference points. By getting back to work, we drop any attachment to our experience of openness and let ourselves freely engage our work circumstances as they unfold.
Sometimes we may remain open as we get back to work: our body, mind, and action remain synchronized and we engage our job with a heightened awareness that lacks any self-consciousness or hesitation. At other times we may become distracted by work's speed and excitement. Running the old commentaries, rushing past the present moment, we simply forget to be open. Either way is fine--we simply get back to
Stay Open
Staying open is not a matter of achieving anything, of trying to be present for longer and longer periods of time. Rather, staying open is appreciating that openness happens with or without our even noticing it. Over time we come to understand that being open is not an option that we can turn on and off like a light switch but a condition of being alive. We may space out, forget, get absorbed in our anger or anxiety, or simply mindlessly distract ourselves from the immediate moment, but we cannot escape. Our feet still touch the ground and our head still turns right and left; we cannot avoid such things. The present moment stays open with or without our attention. We stay open, then, because there is no other option.
Of course, this may sound a bit too cute--too koanlike: ''You stay open even when you are not open. Staying open happens even when you close up.'' Being skeptical of such things makes a lot of sense: we should never buy such a bill of goods without testing it for ourselves. If we doubt such a thing--that we have no option but to stay open even when we are closed--we can do a simple test: stop our mind, notice the black ink on this white page, take a long, unhurried breath, and simply acknowledge whatever happens next.
