June 17, 2011Reviewer: Linda in New Jersey* I highly recommend these shakes. All three flavors taste great. I'm a 65 year old grandma and I'm trying to lose weight.

Kansas Rep. Mike Pompeo is pushing a bill in Congress that would shift responsibility for any labeling of genetically modified foods to the hands of the federal government, potentially stopping the efforts underway in many states to mandate labels on such foods.
Pompeo, who represents an agricultural district in south-central Kansas, said that all evidence to date indicates genetically modified foods are safe. If there does need to be labeling, he said, there should be uniform standards for it, rather than a patchwork of laws and regulations among the states.
"What we can say for sure is that biotechnology has made food safer and more abundant," Pompeo, a Republican, said in a conference call Wednesday. And the bevy of proposals around the country will make it "enormously difficult to operate a food system."
Proponents of labels for genetically modified foods jumped on the proposal as a favor to the Grocery Manufacturers Association and agricultural corporations that make food and genetically modified seeds for use by America's farmers.

The issue of labeling foods that contain genetically modified ingredients has taken hold in states around the country, and more than 25 now have ballot measures or legislative initiatives underway.
Advocates for labeling say they would prefer that the federal Food and Drug Administration take the lead, requiring that companies put labels on food packages to give consumers a heads-up that ingredients inside are made with genetically modified organisms. Those might include substances such as corn, which is widely used in processed foods and more often than not has been genetically modified to help counter pests and boost yields.
But so far, the FDA hasn't agreed to do so. It says that foods from genetically engineered plants must only meet the same safety requirements as foods from traditionally bred plants. And while the agency said it recognizes the strong interest that many consumers have in knowing whether a food was produced using genetic engineering, it supports only voluntary labeling.
That has shifted the battle to the states, where advocates of labeling are hopeful they can accomplish in legislatures and voting booths what hasn't been accomplished in Washington.
Pompeo's bill would prohibit states from requiring labels. In addition, it would require that new foods produced with genetically modified organisms be submitted to the FDA for review. If the FDA determines there is a difference between the genetically modified food and non-modified food and that disclosing that is "necessary to protect health and safety," the FDA can require a label.
But "the use of bioengineering does not, by itself, constitute a material difference," the bill says.
Colin O'Neil, director of government affairs for the advocacy group Center for Food Safety, said the issue is one of a "fundamental right to know" – that consumers should have the opportunity to know what is in the food they are eating, as they do in dozens of other countries.
Given the recent pressure for state-level action, O'Neil said the agriculture and food industries "want to cut this conversation off immediately."
"They see labeling as not a matter of if, but when," he said.

Sophia Mangalee, Contest Director at Monmouth Park recently invited NJ Horseplayer Bill Holobowski to appear as a guest blogger on monmouthpark.com. You can follow his full blog at: www.njhorseplayer.com as he continues his quest to qualify for the NHC. His contribution is below.
An anomalously warm winter aside, March usually bears several meanings for NJ Horseplayer — a near-end to unwanted dates with the snow thrower, an early exit from the Big East tournament for my beloved Rutgers men's basketball team and two decades of NCAA Tournament futility, and the finale of what is one of the top thoroughbred handicapping tournaments around.
Simulcast Series Challenge #3, the last of three monthly winter qualifiers that culminate in April's SSC Invitational where two spots to the National Handicapping Championship (NHC) are awarded, is prominent on the NJ Horseplayer calendar.
The 2012 edition is scheduled for Saturday, March 24, and having zeroed out of SSC#1 and SSC#2, a Top 15 finish in SSC#3 is a priority in my third year of trying to qualify for the NHC.
NHC and SSC may seem like hieroglyphics, but for newcomers to the handicapping contest circuit, the National Thoroughbred Racing Association (NTRA) and Daily Racing Form host an annual championship in Las Vegas, akin to the World Series of Poker. The 2012 NHC was worth $1 million to the winner among 500 players, and double the 2011 payout…impressive a Tour entering its 14th year and that costs $50 to join.
SSC, meanwhile, is one of the best events on Monmouth Park's calendar, and still a relatively unheralded commodity.
Whether NHC Tour members or not, handicappers pay a reasonable $200 ($100 entry fee, $100 bankroll) for a shot at a robust first-place payout (SSC#2 winner Chris Russo of Wall Township took down nearly $14,000 in winnings and cash prizes), and SSC#3 is typically the best-attended SSC tournament.
For NHC Tour players, especially, finishing in the Top 15 is paramount—advancing to the SSC Invitational, scheduled for Saturday, April 28, gives Tour players a shot at one of two "seats" to the NHC, which is the brass ring for even a third-year Tour player like me.
The rules of SSC stipulate that, to qualify for any prizes, players must make wagers of $10 or more on at least 10 races from three contest tracks, usually Aqueduct, Gulfstream Park and Tampa Bay Downs. Wagers must be at least $10 per race and can comprise a win, place, show, or a combination thereof.
The core concept is simple—players need to turn their starting $100 bankrolls into as many winnings as possible. Getting there is often the challenge, and generally mandates strong handicapping skill, though betting strategies can vary depending on one's perspective, and bankroll management is often the key.
First-hand experience suggests that simply lasting to the end of the contest is an extremely difficult but essential hurdle. In a non-SSC tournament at Monmouth a few years back, I went 0-for-8 before turning my remaining $13 into a $550 (7th-place) finish with a well-placed pick of a 7-to-2 shot and subsequently hit on back-to-back 9-to-1 and 14-to-1 winners.
More recently, however, in SSC#1 and SSC#2 I had many near-misses and two off-the-board finishes. The complexion of both contests differed, however, in that in SSC#1 my handicapping was awful and too focused on long-shots (a NJ Horseplayer staple), and in SSC#2 I dabbled in win-place wagers but only ultimately met the same $0 finish.
Leading up to SSC#3, I have given serious consideration to a capital-preservation strategy focusing on move-the-chains show wagers through the middle of the contest in hopes of doubling my bankroll to take one big shot at a price later in the contest. In light of two players hitting the top 15 of SSC#1 with just a $127.50 bankroll and needing $252 in winnings to crack the SSC#2 Top 15, the show strategy deserves some consideration in terms of my making it to the SSC Invitational. Still, admittedly, show betting lacks the allure of hitting a well-placed win wager. Therein lays the inner turmoil of contests!
Whatever the motivation, the Simulcast Series Challenge on Saturday, March 24 is well worth the plunge for any handicapper, and provides an excellent venue to test one's skills versus like-minded, almost fraternal contest players and break from monotonous one-off bets at random tracks. The atmosphere is competitive and almost collegial at the same time, whether between contest regulars or newcomers to the contest/NHC circuit.
Follow along with NJ Horseplayer in the days leading up to SSC#3 and feel free to forward questions or comments in advance. There, I hope to share some strategies (darts not included) and other ideas in terms of preparing to digest a 30-35 race contest card; the preparation entails just a little homework, in my view, but nothing onerous.
Otherwise, stop by the Dining Terrace on the third floor clubhouse at Monmouth Park and give SSC#3 a shot. You'll be glad you did.

Second Life founder Philip Rosedale says he knows why the virtual world failed to achieve mainstream acceptance. He's got a plan to do it again, and do it right this time.
You remember Second Life. It's a so-called "virtual world," a three-dimensional digital environment where people drive cartoon-like "avatars" to talk, role play, dance, play music, make art, create virtual landscapes, buildings, and vehicles, do business, make fortunes, and even have cybersex. Evangelists predicted in 2006 to 2007 that it would be as big as the web itself, and soon we'd all be living our lives in virtual worlds.
Second Life proved bewitching for many people. I was one of them. But most people sneered. It's still around, and it got a lot right, but it's mostly forgotten.
But not by Philip Rosedale. The boyish, 45-year-old Second Life founder stepped back from his active role as CEO in 2008, and after launching a couple of startups and a brief return as interim CEO in 2010, Rosedale settled at a new company, High Fidelity, where he's working on a new virtual world, based on 2014 technology, that learns from the lessons of Second Life.
"The reason virtual worlds have been in niche is the double assault of the interface being difficult, and the emotional bandwidth not being there. You can't see my face, you can't see my eyes when I'm talking to you in Second Life," Rosedale said.
"Putting people in an avatar world, finding a way to channel emotional bandwidth into that world -- which I believe is possible -- is going to win. That will give us an alternative way to be present with each other."
[Facebook just crossed the billion-user mark. See how it got there: Facebook History: 10 Defining Moments.]
Basically, Rosedale is starting from bare ground and rebuilding Second Life from the ground up.
Located in a funky section of San Francisco, next to a tattoo parlor and near a combination laundromat/coffee shop, High Fidelity's office is on the second floor of a commercial building. It's an open, blond-wood decorated space big enough for the company's 10 employees. When I visited in November, the lobby was gutted as though for renovations. I also talked with Rosedale by phone in August and again in January.
Why'd it take me five months to get this article done? I'll get to that later. For now, let's let Rosedale speak his piece.
Rosedale believes the main reason Second Life failed to achieve mainstream acceptance is that it's hard to use. And he's got a point. It takes most people a half hour to learn to do anything in Second Life, and weeks to become competent. Getting around involves a bewildering array of onscreen buttons and keyboard shortcuts.
High Fidelity's plan is to replace all that with motion-capture cameras and software, along with optional motion controllers. He gave me a demo of the software, which is in prototype, running on a MacBook. An off-the-shelf webcam captures the user's facial expressions and copies them to the avatar's own face, reproducing movements of the eyes, eyebrows, and mouth. For movement, point where you want to go. Or you can point at what you want to look at inside the virtual world.
High Fidelity is working with several hardware motion controllers to enhance the experience, including the Leap Motion, Razer Hydra, and Sixense. High Fidelity also supports the Oculus Rift, a prototype virtual reality headset. Rosedale anticipates these won't require a big investment for users -- the Leap is under $100 on Amazon, the Razer Hydra is $499. The Sixense and Oculus Rift are still in development. And they're optional. High Fidelity works fine without them.
The software now runs on Mac and Windows. However, High Fidelity relies extensively on WebGL, so it will be relatively easy to port to mobile devices, with tablets a priority, Rosedale said.
Another big problem for Second Life was scalability. The standard Second Life server, or "sim," supports about 40 avatars -- big enough for an intimate nightclub, but not for a big live event.
The reason for the scalability problem is the same as the reason why Second Life is so hard to use: It's based on technology from 2003, when the service launched, Rosedale said. In 2003, the smartphone and tablet market was insignificant, and users got Internet connectivity through a desktop computer connected by a hard Internet connection. (WiFi and cellular data was used only by a few early adopters.)
The cloud was also embryonic and so Linden Lab, which operates Second Life, had to run its own servers in expensive datacenters.
High Fidelity uses a peer-to-peer architecture, distributing the world over the same computers users use to access it. The more people connect, the more computing power is available for an event; Rosedale envisions events populated by hundreds of thousands of people. And High Fidelity will run on both desktop computers and mobile devices -- another advantage over Second Life, which has never had an officially supported mobile client.
Latency is another problem High Fidelity is looking to solve. When there's a lag between an action taken on one side of an interaction and the action being seen or heard on the other side, the system feels unnatural and awkward to participants. Conversation proceeds in fits and starts, with people interrupting each other and pausing to simultaneously defer to each other -- "Go ahead," "No, you go ahead." This is a huge problem in virtual worlds. It's one that the High Fidelity team is working hard to eliminate.

New lenient policy on immigration to be implemented
Last June John Morton, the Director of Homeland Security's Immigration and Custom Reform, had signaled a more lenient approach to the deportation of undocumented immigrants who posed no threat to security and had a clean criminal record. But the rate of deportations maintained a record pace—more than 360,000 this year. By the director's own admission, only 55 percent of those deportees had criminal record, and for many of those their only crime of felony proportions was re-entering the country after an exclusion order. That means that 45 percent of deportations are not criminal. Entering the country without authorization was an administrative offense. There are 11 million of them.
The Obama administration promised the more lenient approach through prosecutorial discretion. In part it was meant to ease the crush in immigration courts and federal courts. But, politically, it was meant to mollify Hispanic voters who had voted overwhelmingly for Obama in 2008 and seal their support for 2012. It didn't work, because the new policy was resisted by many agents in the field and was slow and confusing in implementation. Supposed beneficiaries were being detained and deported, while others were ignored. Many dreamers "came out of the closet" in public demonstrations and were left unbothered. Some even took to urging the undocumented in Alabama, as an act of defiance to the new and harsh law, to go public.
Now ICE, in response to the growing criticism, is implementing a pilot program in Denver and Baltimore to clarify criteria for leniency and to develop procedures. The agency lawyers will review cases before immigration courts, especially those of the elderly, children, Dreamers, victims of domestic violence, adults who have lived here many years and have ties to the community--especially children. All must have clean criminal records. These low priority cases are not dismissed and can be revived by the government.
The new policy does not satisfy the critics. Rep. Lamar Smith, chair of the House Judiciary Committee which has jurisdiction over immigration and the courts, repeats his oft quoted quip--the new policy is a "back-door amnesty". But many immigration advocates remain wary--in part because they are distrustful of ICE for dragging its feet since the June memo announcing the policy, and in part because it's not clear who qualifies. Also, we might add, it makes no provision for those who have already been deported who might have benefited under the new leniency. They're waiting to see the details of the implementation of the new policy.

General autopsy procedure
[Dr. Fierro]: The autopsy itself is an extended surgical procedure and just as the surgeon might open you from the site at the bottom of your breastbone down to your public bone, we would extend that up to the shoulders so that we're able to look into the chest cavity and into the belly cavity. And we would look in the head by making an incision and pushing and pulling the scalp forward and removing the bone, looking and examining the brain and returning it. And autopsy if properly performed should not disfigure the body. Now keep in mind many bodies come in and they are in terrible shape to begin with. They have terribly disfiguring injuries. Well, we're not going to improve their appearance, but hey shouldn't look any worse when they leave us. I think to a man the forensic pathologist holds the body in special reverence and does most anything he can do to keep from having to disfigure it further than it already is.

Scotties Clock The Mustangs
GHS Dominates In Top 10 Clash, 38-6; 'Running The Clock' Rule Starts Before Half
The Glasgow Scottie football team came out of the gates on fire last Friday night against their 2B conference rivals, the Malta Mustangs, and cruised to a decisive 38-6 victory. The Scotties – stocked with key players from Glasgow, Nashua and Hinsdale this season – had their foot on the gas pedal in the first half to build a 35-0 lead and start a "running clock" before halftime.
Entering the game, GHS was ranked sixth statewide in Class B and Malta seventh. Afterward, the Scotties remained No. 6 and Malta dropped out of the Top 10.
The Scotties got things rolling in the first quarter on a 42-yard TD pass from Jason Thibault to one of his favorite targets, tight end Keil Krumwiede.
Later in the first quarter, Jonathan Koessl tackled the Malta punt returner in the end zone for a safety to increase the Scotties lead to 8-0.
Malta kicked the ball off to Glasgow after the safety, and the Scotties used a little football trickery. GHS executed a 20-yard hook-and-ladder scoring play consisting of a 10-yard pass from Thibault to Chase Fossum, who then tossed the ball back to Koessl as he ran by to the outside for 10 more yards into the end zone. New Hinsdale exchange student Valentin Robert from France kicked the PAT to give the Scotties a 15-0 lead.
To say the Scottie fans and players were thrilled would be an understatement.
In the second quarter, Thibault and Krumwiede connected once again, this time on a short pass across the middle, where Krumwiede took the ball to the outside and outran the Malta defenders for a 20 yd score. Robert kicked the PAT to build Glasgow's lead to 22-0.
To counter Malta's strong run defense, the Scotties continued with their solid passing game. Thibault then threw to his other favorite receiver, 6-4 Chase Fossum, in the end zone for a 24-yard TD pass. Robert tconnected on the PAT to increase the lead to 29-0.
Glasgow's defense continued to smother Malta's offense and caused a fumble late in the second quarter by Jared Smith, which Krumwiede scooped up, ran again to the outside, broke a tackle, then raced 50 yards for Glasgow's final TD. The extra point by Robert was wide right and Glasgow's lead was 35-0 – which in Montana High School Association rules starts the game clock running continuously (except for injuries or timeouts, as long as the 35 point margin remains).
The second half flew by quickly and with Glasgow's sizable lead established, the Scotties used the opportunity to work on their running game. Glasgow also was able to utilize kicker Robert's strong foot in the second half, as he connected on a 30-yard field goal to increase Glasgow's lead to 38-0.
Malta's lone score came in the fourth quarter on a 71-yard punt return by Allen Williamson. The 2-point conversion try failed after the TD to leave the final score at 38-6.
Glasgow's defense played extremely well in only surrendering 66 total yards against the Mustangs offense. The defensive line and linebackers filled the gaps, stuffed the running backs and pressured the quarterback all night. The defensive line consists of ends Jared Smith and Krumwiede and tackles Luke Gunderson, an All-State player, and Harley Eliason.The linebacker corps is led by Tanner Roness with Lachlan Vaira, Dallas Capdeville and Jason Thibault. The secondary consists of cornerbacks Koessl and Ryan Grandchamp with safety Chase Fossum.
It should be noted that the Scotties defense has now held the last three opponents (Shelby, Harlem and Malta) scoreless for a total of 12 quarters. The only points scored against the Scotties have been on a punt return, safety and fumble return.
Offensively, the Scotties racked up 286 yards on offense against Malta with 213 coming through the air and 73 on the ground.
Glasgow prepares this week for another 2B conference game against the Wolf Point Wolves here on Friday. We look forward to seeing all the Scottie fans once again, wearing red and cheering the players on.
Scottie Stats
Passing: Thibault 13-23, 213 yards, 3 TDs, 0 interceptions.
Rushing: Koessl 10-27, Thiabult 5-25, Roness 6-22, Krumwiede 3-(-1)
Receiving: Krumwiede 5-95, Fossum 3-68, Koessl 5-43.

Gameloft Releases New Trailer for Iron Man 3 — The Official Game
The May 3 premiere of the Iron Man 3 movie is right around the corner and you know what that means ... the official Iron Man 3 game is about to arrive as well! We looked at the title a few weeks ago, but just today Gameloft dropped a new trailer and it's pretty slick.
If you missed it the first time around, Iron Man 3 -- The Official Game will be an endless runner, though since it's starring Iron Man, it will be more of an "endless flyer." You will get to suit up in 18 different versions of Iron Man's armor, piloting the 'ol tin head through waves and waves of enemies.
Blast your way through levels with Iron Man's hand repulsor, avoid incoming ordinance, jet fighters and other high-tech dangers. If the game ends up being like its movie counterparts, this will promise to be one heck of a freemium action title.
Check out the new trailer below:

Fire Emblem Awakening Getting A Limited Edition 3DS Bundle
Could it be? Is this fabled 3DS bundle coming to North American shores?
Earlier this week, rumors had been circling on forums on sites like NeoGAF and Cheap Ass Gamer, saying that an ad for a Fire Emblem Awakening 3DS Bundle had been spotted. The sleuths of the internet got to work with trying to blow the image up to glean whether or not the game came pre-installed, if the handheld contained inside was an XL or an OG 3DS (original 3DS), and any other details they could find.
Well, the theory-crafting can stop, at least momentarily, because Nintendo of America made the announcement on Twitter that a Fire Emblem Awakening hardware bundle will be making it to North America.
And if the image of the bundle is any indicator, the game will come pre-installed on the machine. This makes sense since Nintendo will be releasing the game in both a physical form for retailers and digital form for the eShop. The handheld looks to be the same one released for Japan last year, so those who were hoping for an XL will be getting an OG instead.
The game is said to be more accessible to newcomers and players of all types, giving them an option to play a Casual Mode in which character deaths are not permanent. They'll also be able to save at any point in the game, giving them the ability to fix any tactical mistakes. The lack of these two options may have turned away less hardcore players from the games before, but Awakening should provide newbies with a good entry point for the series.
A demo for the game will be available on the eShop starting January 17th, 2013. Not long after that, the game proper will be released on February 4th, 2013, so tentative buyers will have a chance to play the next entry in the Fire Emblem series a few weeks in advance.
Let us know if you're excited for this bundle and whether or not you'd prefer an XL over an OG 3DS!

Cylindria and I took our first Colorado skiing trip a couple of weeks ago. Wow, it was beautiful. Breathtaking 30 minute lift rides up and hour long skiing back down. I'm sure the appreciation of the view and such wears off after a while, and a ski trip just turns into trying to get in as much skiing as possible. I hope that takes a while, though! Here's the view from half way down the mountain or so.
The only point of reference I have is skiing on a giant hill of garbage in Michigan that they converted to a ski hill that needs fake snow blown onto most of the time. Skiing on Mt. Garbage consists of riding a lift or tow line up for a minute or two and then skiing down for 30 seconds. Rinse and repeat. See the difference:
Back to our CO skiing. The day started at 7 with a fantastic drive into the mountains during sunrise. We took a beginner-ish lesson to learn some basics so we wouldn't die. Our instructor was a trip. He took us around the mountain for three hours showing us the ropes and then we were on our own. The top of the mountain was much better for us because it was less crowded, so I wouldn't take down a group of people when I fell. I fell more than she did, but I blame it on taking more risks. Here's me between falls:
My natural complexion is ghost white going on invisible, so I applied sunscreen three or four times during the day. Cylindria only put some on early in the morning. She toasted herself BAD. Her face swelled into a giant red balloon the next morning. It was bad. Here she is tearing up the slopes while cooking:
We ended up skiing for about 6 hours or so, which was a LONG time for us. We had to take a nap on the drive down the mountain so I didn't sleep drive us off the road (and mountain).
Anyway, was a great time. We'll be heading back next season. Go here for more pictures.

What if certain foods were addictive for some people in the same way as tobacco?
Doctors would no longer tell the obese just to eat less and move more. That advice would prove as useless as telling smokers to cut back on ciggies.
Instead, there would be support groups for people trying to quit addictive foods and public policy measures to counter their pull and consumption.
Smoking not so long ago was considered in the same way as food is now: just a bad habit. It wasn't until the 1970s that nicotine was identified as addictive.
What if the very foods that health professionals and food companies are pushing are precisely those with addictive properties?
It's happened before. The New Zealand government provided cigarettes free to soldiers in World War I. American doctors endorsed including cigarettes in ration packs in World War II.
The other week I attended a nutrition conference in Sydney. Dr Simon Thornley, a lecturer in epidemiology and biostatistics at the University of Auckland, theorised that certain foods are indeed addictive.
Along with AUT University colleague Dr Hayden McRobbie he's written a book called Sickly Sweet: Sugar, Refined Carbohydrate, Addiction and Global Obesity.
The two men are experts in nicotine addiction and treatment. They have recently turned their attention to obesity, for which the possibility of food addiction is largely unexplored.
The possibility of certain foods being addictive does not absolve us from personal responsibility. But it does change how we think about our own behaviour and how best we can improve ourselves.
It's hard to quit smoking by willpower alone. You may last a few weeks, or even months, but chances are you will end up back there. It's the same with dieting. People can lose weight. But very few keep it off.
So why do people smoke? It's to avoid the withdrawal discomfort. They feel terrible when they don't smoke.
I have never smoked so I don't understand it. But I felt sick for days when I cut out sugar and flour. I was lethargic, irritable. I had aches and pains. I found myself thinking about nothing but food - specifically, food with sugar and flour.
The signs for McDonald's, the billboards, the beautiful food wrappers filling supermarket shelves were siren calls pulling me in. And if I broke, if I put a slice of bread in my mouth, or a biscuit, the hit and relief were instant. Then I couldn't stop. I would gobble food until I was more than stuffed full. And soon I would be hungry for more.
As the two doctors explain it, that sounds less like quitting smoking and more like opiate withdrawal. Body aches and pains are more commonly described after quitting heroin than cigarettes.
Yet, after two months, I broke free of the pain and the cravings. Just like a heroin addict. Unlike dieting, and eating a balanced diet, white knuckle willpower has proved not to be a forever thing. I just had to break through the addiction.
And just like a heroin addict, I can't have a little bit of sugar or a little bit of flour. To do so is to start all over again. I am back there living my life obsessed by my next sugar fix. My only way to be free of the cravings is to live free of the stuff.
Doctors Thornley and McRobbie explain the pathways in the brain responsible for nicotine and cocaine addiction and the possibility they are responsible for food addiction. It's fascinating stuff.
But best you try it for yourself. Cut out sugar and flour for a couple of days. See how you feel. And consider that, perhaps, you too could be addicted.
Cut the sugar, the flour, the processed foods, the starch.
Of course, you have to eat something else. And so you must eat the nutrient-dense traditional food - eggs, cheese, fatty meats, cream, green vegetables.
They are the foods we always ate. They aren't the foods we crave and eat unconsciously, such as biscuits, bread, soft drinks and fast food. These are the foods that satisfy us. And nourish us.
I suspect Doctors Thornley and McRobbie are on to something. Bacon and eggs and cheese for breakfast. Not fruit juice, breakfast cereal and low-fat yoghurt.
I am not the perfect shape by any means. But it's marvellous living free of the addiction. And the food is better.

Seeking an indulgence for remission of sin may not be everyone's cup of tea, but judging from the Web hits on our story last December on how to gain an indulgence for the 150th anniversary of the apparitions at Lourdes, they certainly remain a popular form of Catholic devotion.
So there's a new chance for a plenary indulgence in connection with the jubilee year of St. Paul that begins in just over a month. Details are in this story we posted this morning.

Six Joplin Family Members Among 21 Indicted for Meth Conspiracy
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Tammy Dickinson, United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri, announced today that a Joplin, Mo., couple and their four adult sons are among 21 defendants who have been indicted by a federal grand jury for their roles in a conspiracy to distribute large quantities of methamphetamine in Jasper County, Mo.
Gerardo Hernandez Cazares, Sr., 51, his wife, Leticia Cazares, 51, a citizen of Mexico who is a permanent legal resident of the United States and his four sons, Jose DeLeon Cazares, 28, Gerardo Cazares Jr., 29, Eric Eziquel Cazares, 30, and Abraham Cazares, 24, all of Joplin; Casey Murray, 19, Gilbert Roland, 49, David Roland, 32, Charles Jackson Lee III, 29, James Pickel, 55, Michael Fordyce, 52, Michael Ray Hendrix, 33, Jimmy Don Thompson, 22, Nathan Kent Hernandez, 33, Jorge Ercules, 27, a citizen of Honduras, Henry Gonzalez, 31 and Hugo Rodriguez, 41, both citizens of Mexico, all of Joplin; Daniel Nevarez, 27, (Gerardo Cazares's son in law), of Carl Junction, Mo.; Gabrielle Sharp, 20, of Springfield, Mo.; and Jose Puente, 41, of Commerce, Okla., were charged in a 34-count indictment returned by a federal grand jury in Springfield on July 24, 2013. The indictment replaced a federal criminal complaint that was filed on June 13, 2013.
According to an affidavit filed in support of the original criminal complaint, law enforcement authorities noticed a significant increase in the availability of methamphetamine in the Joplin area beginning in June 2012. A confidential source stated there was a drug-trafficking organization in Joplin that was importing very pure methamphetamine from Mexico into the United States, then transporting it by automobile to Joplin.
The federal indictment alleges that all 21 defendants participated in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine from July 16, 2012, to June 14, 2013.
In addition to the conspiracy, Gerardo Cazares, Sr., Gerardo Cazares, Jr., Jose Cazares, Hendrix, Pickel, Ercules and Gonzalez are variously charged in 22 counts related to distributing methamphetamine.
Gerardo Cazares, Sr., Gerardo Cazares, Jr., Jose Cazares, Eric Cazares, Leticia Cazares, Hendrix, Pickel, Sharp, Thompson, Hernandez, Rodriguez and Lee are also variously charged in 11 counts related to using a telephone to facilitate the drug-trafficking conspiracy.
The federal indictment also contains two forfeiture allegations, which would require Pickel to forfeit to the government $1,600 that was seized by law enforcement officers, and would require Roland to forfeit to the government $4,162 that was seized by law enforcement officers.
Dickinson cautioned that the charges contained in this indictment are simply accusations, and not evidence of guilt. Evidence supporting the charges must be presented to a federal trial jury, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.This case is being prosecuted by Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Ami Harshad Miller. It was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the FBI, IRS-Criminal Investigation, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, the Jasper County Drug Task Force, the Joplin, Mo., Police Department and the Miami, Okla., Police Department.

Feet in the sand, swaying palm trees, the murmuring of the sea — in Aruba, there seems to be a romantic spot around every corner. No wonder it's such a popular place to propose or get married. And with a declaration of love comes a profound attachment to the island: many couples keep coming back to celebrate their anniversary.
Every couple has a favourite spot on Aruba. This may be the Divi Divi tree where he proposed or the boutique resort where they got married — or even that table on the beach where they enjoyed that romantic dinner at sunset. It may not even be a specific place, but more of a feeling: a combination of sultry tropical nights and scents of the island. Whatever it is, Aruba is full of warm memories for many.

On an island rimmed with white sand beaches and charming bays, it's only natural to have a beach wedding. The powdery sand of Eagle Beach is the perfect location and a beautiful spot to revisit years later — like a couple of sea turtles, who also always come back after years of wandering.
The spectacular Arikok National Park on the east coast of Aruba guarantees a beautiful setting for wedding pictures, with its lovely geological formations of volcanic rock and tall sand dunes. The whimsical coastline of Boca Prins and Dos Playa sharply contrasts with the crowded beaches on the other side of the island. How about an unadulterated 'trash the dress' session in Conchi, at the natural swimming pool? Arrive in style — on horseback.
There is no better place to retreat than in the exclusive Tara Beach penthouse suite — a rare good excuse to take a break from the hustle and bustle of island life. The suite has a king-size bed, deluxe free-standing bathtub, and a private terrace with a delightfully comfortable lounge bed. And all of that comes with beautiful views, not only of the most beautiful beach on Aruba, but naturally also of your beloved.

The Lipscomb cross country teams are in Spartanburg, S.C., this weekend for the Atlantic Sun Conference Championships.
The women, ranked third in the conference, are being projected as one of the teams that could finish in first place. The men, ranked fifth in the A-Sun, are expected to place in the top half of the field.
Nine Lady Bisons runners will compete. There are four freshmen, two sophomores and three juniors. Freshmen Dani Walker and Alex Newby have consistently been at or near the top of the field for the Lady Bisons.
When the races begin Saturday morning coach Bill Taylor doesn't think the youth of the team will be a factor.
"I've been asked a few times if I have concerns about our freshmen competing well at the A-Sun Championships," Taylor said. "Not at all. It's a team and they all share the responsibility for what we are together. We have a very deep team and they are all equal partners in what we do and accomplish. I think we will run very well."
The Lady Bisons have competed at a high level this season. Taylor is confident that those experiences will translate into success in the championship.
"We got a lot of incredible experience this year," Taylor said. "The A-Sun meet will be the second smallest meet we have competed in all year, and we've faced ranked teams in every single meet.
"If our young runners can go out and succeed against all the teams they faced at Willamette where the course narrows and great teams are packed in tight, or if they can get out with nearly 500 runners at the Chile Pepper, one of the top meets in the nation with nearly half the field regionally or nationally ranked, and step up, they can handle our conference meet."
The Lady Bisons have competed on all types of courses and against tough teams in every race. Taylor doesn't expect the A-Sun Championship to pose any challenges the team hasn't already faced. He stresses that it is a matter of keeping everything simple.
"Finally, what is the worst that can happen, "Taylor asked. "If we don't run well it's really not that big of a deal. It's not life. I want to succeed and they do too. I love to win and my goals for this program are huge.
"We are an incredible program and we will get better and better. We want to run a great race at conference, just like we want to run a great race every time we race. But there is nothing to worry about. If we don't run great, we will regroup, learn from the experience and be better for it. There is something to gain from everything that happens. And we go in ranked third in the conference. External expectations are low. We go to conference pretty relaxed and ready to just find out what we can do."
This season Tim Muller has led the Bisons team. He has been the most consistent part of a transition season. Taylor admits he is hesitant to make a prediction of where the Bisons will finish.
"I really don't know what to expect from the men," Taylor said. "That isn't a bad thing. I am hoping for their best race of the season and they are fully capable.
"They are as physically ready as they've been all season. It's really going to be a question of how badly they want it, how they interpret data and if they are willing to risk or settle. If they make the right choices they could finish very well...above our fifth place ranking. If they don't, they could finish seventh or eighth pretty easily. There just isn't a lot of separation between a lot of the conference teams."
Regardless of the finish, Taylor believes the men's team is on the right track.
"We've got a lot of work to do over the next few years to get it right, but we are definitely on the right track," Taylor said. "It will be fun to see what decisions they make Saturday. No matter what, we learn and grow from this."

The DropMind advantage
How to manage your information more effectively?
Every company is in constant struggle to improve 2 attributes above all; productivity and efficiency. These attributes can have a wide range of activities depending on the company and the industry they're in, but let us talk about the meaning of those attributes in an office environment.
There are many different strategies to approach these attributes, but I believe that productivity will increase by increasing motivation and minimizing confusion, and effectiveness will increase by increasing creativity.
Given a normal work day at the office, people are prone to deal with many different ideas, challenges, meetings, assignments and I can only keep going if I am to form a complete list of activities. This brings to mind a vision for an application which makes an informational base.
Seavus DropMind™ allows for better control over information and allows you to:
• Form a base and create a visual database,
• Organize and collaborate,
• Present and start a project,
• Save time,
• Keep yourself up to date and think for the future.
Now let me go into more details
(1)Think about every time you come across something that you think might serve you well in the future, you usually write the stuff down. You jot it on sticky notes or write it on a blank sheet of paper, then it ends' up being lost.
(2)I have also learned that having many applications to work with, no matter how great they are, the situation proves to be prone to generate a long array of confused moments.
(3)Meetings, assignment due dates, we all try our best to perform the best but sometimes that isn't enough.
This is why it helps to have one, base application, in which you record your information, from which you access your information, from where you manipulate with your information, and most importantly the base application needs to be as user friendly as possible.
Seavus DropMind™ is developed in a way to help you capitalize on the effectiveness of information management by using the aid of visual perspective. This enables users to work with greater ease in a hasty manner by quickly locating the needed information, and generating the needed documents. DropMind's look and feel is relaxing and smooth and it uses the popular top of screen ribbon in order to preserve simplicity. Additionally the application allows you to:
• Place attachments of any file type,
• Use organizational charts to help you place your thoughts and ideas anywhere on a map ,and organize them in an format pleasing to your eye
• Enter notes which briefly describe a topic, or note recent changes made in the same
• Add hyperlinks if you have gotten the info from the web
• Use tasks and alerts to help you prepare yourself for important activities and due dates
• More benefits for using Seavus DropMind are the integrations, of which most notable are:
o The MS® Word integration.
o The MS® PowerPoint integration.
o The MS® Project integration.
o The MS® Outlook integration.
o The Basecamp integration.
o The Google integration, which allows users to upload and attach Google Docs, and also allows importing Google Contacts in the mind map community; through which by using an advanced search allows searching the content of their Google Docs.
Seavus DropMind™ has extensive options for export/import into another file type and they let your work become much more versatile in the way it gets handled. Imagine the freedom which you can enjoy.
Let's say that you have a map full of tasks, topics, attachments, notes and other info you may have placed. In other words, let us say you have an idea/project where you've organized your info on a map, and now you have to make few copies of the same content on a different format.
For the sake of this example, let us assume you need to hand out a hard copy of the material, and you have to make a presentation of the same. Seavus DropMind™ lets you use many options in order to customize your export from within the application. This advanced approach to export/import (as shown on the screen shot) also applies for other file types.
Among many, other notable feature is the advanced filter. This is a benefit which saves you time. You can use this filter to show or hide all your content which is related to a specific group of attributes (tasks, attachments, hyperlinks, notes and other) to save you on searching time. Also, you can summarize all the tasks on one topic along with all the tasks of its subtopics. Using this feature, a Project Manager can just come in to work and see today's due dates for the team and themselves as well.
I believe that creativity is what has brought us all to a level at which we are now, and from my professional perspective the top ranked information management applications are lacking the ability to trigger people to open up their minds. Instead of looking at a linear fashion, as I mentioned before, Seavus DropMind™ is displaying the information in a more dimensional and visual manner. This allows you to quickly recognize the priority level of a topic along with all its connections and dependencies and its current position status.
Additionally, by saving you on searching time along with the benefit of visual perspective, Seavus DropMind™ has proven to force people to be more inventive, and has resulted in opening up people's minds to fresh new ideas for solving a given problem.
Handling a large load of sensitive information can get quite overwhelming. Also when working on the details of a particular project for an extensive period of time can sometimes result in a fading memory of the bigger picture. I think it would be good to be able to choose and switch between your points of view of your work. Look at the whole project from a "bird's point of view "in order to grasp the bigger picture and minimize confusion, or look closer into the details to focus your work on a particular task or topic.
I'd like to quote Chuck Oldman (writer), one of DropMind's creative users. In one of his blogs he has written "DropMind is a lot of fun to use; it most certainly allows you to treat your work as creative play. The design is friendly, just about everything is customizable, and what was once a daunting task seems to have become a welcome challenge."
Think about having one visual map were all the info you need is easy accessible saying "My Work"! Wouldn't that be great!?
This concept is a way of thinking, a visual thinking, which is not so widely spread but it keeps on positively surprising people in the business world.
Our DropMind team prides itself in excellence, and we try to maintain that goal by always striving to deliver great customer service, and working on developing the application according to our user's needs.
We love every opportunity to listen to their wishes for improvement. You would have to experience Seavus DropMind™ yourself to know what I'm referring to, and to see the advantages. I am convinced that once you have placed your work on a DropMind map, and have it organized the way you want to, your work will become more creative and enjoyable!

Interesting product concept, but the site doesn't work correctly to download a trial and understand the product a little bit more. When trying to download it automatically specify I have to download a Portuguese version and you receive the following error: Requested URL: /desktop/order/DownloadNowPortuguese.aspx
Even though I didn't specify any language... I may be from Brazil, but I don't have a single product in Portuguese in my MAC.

Buttery and citrus flavored marmalade cake, it was at instant hit and my family loved it.There was no specific recipe. I just used an ordinary cake recipe and gave extra flavor with orange juice, orange marmalade and wine.Adding wine is optional,I had some leftover after I made Christmas plum cake and so added into this cake.You can substitute it with buttermilk.I had actually prepared a orange syrup( orange juice and sugar) to drench cake layers,but the wine and orange juice had already made the cake moist and super flavorful so I did not use the syrup. Try this cake,you will surely love it.
Flour- 2 1/2 cup
Baking powder- 1 1/2 tsp
Salt - a pinch
Eggs- 3
Sugar- 3/4 cup
Butter- 1/2 cup
Vanilla essence-1 tsp
Wine- 1/2 cup
( or you can use 1/2 cup butter milk)
Zest of one lemon
Juice of one lemon
Orange marmalade- 1/3 cup
(I used the store brought one-use 1 tsp for the cake and rest to spread on top of the cake)
In a medium mixing bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.Shift flour and keep aside.Preheat oven to 350 degree F.Prepare cake tin by buttering and lining with parchment paper.
In a small mixing bowl, stir in the juice of one lemon, zest of one lemon, orange marmalade and wine and set aside.
Using a hand mixer beat room temperature butter till soft and fluffy. Add little by little of sugar till it blends well and becomes a pale color. Beat for about three to four minute. Now add one egg at a time and continue to beat in high speed till it is well blended,light and fluffy.Add vanilla essence. With a spatula fold in 1/3 of the flour mixture and little of the orange juice wine mixture.Gently fold and continue the same process till all the dry and wet ingredients are well incorporated.
Pour into prepared cake tin. Even it using the spatula spread it evenly in the pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes or till the tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cake completely. Decorate the cake as you desire. If you wish you can do a cream frosting and use orange marmalade as a filling. I just spread a layer of marmalade on top of the cake.
Try this..
Hope you will all enjoy..

My girlfriend's 10 y/o male Min Pin was just diagnosed with diabetes (she literally just found out). She has to take him to the vet today to learn how to give him insulin injections 2x per day. They said he's a "level 6" diabetic.
Does anybody have any advice I can pass along to her? She's obviously pretty upset as Stewart is her little man.

I kinda figured his branded soil mix was more profit-driven. I like the concept of intensive planting and am planning on using raised beds but was gonna go with plain top soil with compost mixed in.
the harmful toxins in the plant were 'cooked' off... i wonder if the same could be said of herbicides?

The Honorable John A. Fritchey
Chair, Judiciary I Committee
Illinois General Assembly
200-7S Stratton Office Building
Springfield, IL 62706
Dear Chairman Fritchey:
I write on behalf of the Department of Justice Antitrust Division ("Department") to provide the Department's views concerning the likely effect on competition and consumers of House Bill 4313, currently referred to your committee. Today, Illinois stands with the vast majority of states that allow real estate brokers to rebate part of their commission to their clients. Because Illinois' current law, 225 ILCS § 454/10-15, allows rebates, brokers throughout Illinois are paying rebates to home buyers, saving them thousands of dollars per transaction. House Bill 4313 would reverse the law and put Illinois among the small and dwindling number of states that ban rebates. The Department believes that such a ban would harm competition and Illinois consumers.
This bill would harm the many Illinois brokers who compete by offering commission rebates to their clients. These brokers include Bill Brynelsen of New Market Realty and Ben Worrell of Ready Real Estate – both of Illinois, and both of whom are willing to discuss with you how rebates enhance competition and benefit consumers.(1) We understand that several important groups also oppose this legislation, including the Illinois Association of Realtors, the American Homeowners Grassroots Alliance, and the Consumer Federation of America.
As you may know, the Department is one of two federal agencies (the other being the Federal Trade Commission) charged with enforcing the federal antitrust laws to protect competition and consumers. Part of our mission is to share our experience evaluating policies that may negatively affect consumers and the impact that proposed government action may have on the competitive process. The Division has been active in preserving competition in the real estate brokerage industry. With the Federal Trade Commission, we held a public workshop on competition in the real estate industry in October 2005, and in April 2007 we published a report entitled "Competition in the Real Estate Brokerage Industry." We have also commented to state legislators and regulators on the effects of proposals in the real estate field on competition and consumers. For more information on the Department's findings and role in protecting competition in the real estate industry, see our website Competition and Real Estate, at http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/public/real_estate.
In the real estate industry, one of the key ways in which consumers can benefit from competition is through rebates offered by buyers' brokers. Brokers' freedom to offer rebates is important because of the structure of a typical real estate listing contract. As you know, the seller and seller's broker typically agree on the rate of the commission to be paid on a home sale, and how that commission will be allocated between the seller's and buyer's brokers. Although the seller pays this commission, the buyer bears part of the burden of the commission through the sales price of the home. No matter how the agreement between the seller and its agent allocates the commission between the brokers, the total commission paid remains the same. As a result, there is no opportunity for the buyer to negotiate with his or her broker for a lower commission rate for the services that the buyers' broker provides to the buyer. The only practical way for the buyer's broker to reduce its fee – i.e., to engage in price competition in order to attract more business is to offer a rebate of the commission to his or her clients. Sellers benefit from rebates too; buyers receiving rebates may choose to spend that extra money by offering a higher price on the home.
To illustrate the benefits of rebates, suppose that an Illinois resident looking to buy a home in Chicago today hires a broker who promises to refund part of the commission she earns on the sale equal to one percent of the total sales price, assuming a five percent total commission split equally to both brokers. According to the Illinois Association of Realtors, the median home sale price in Chicago was $254,000 in 2007. Therefore, on a typical transaction where a broker rebates 1 percent of total sales price out of the 2.5 percent of her total commission, the consumer would receive $2,540. This is money back in buyers' pockets that would have otherwise gone toward commissions. This example is illustrated below:
As you can see, rebates save buyers thousands of dollars and thus represent a powerful tool for brokers to attract customers. Today, Illinois home buyers and sellers may receive the benefits of competition when real estate brokers pay back to their clients part of their sales commission in the form of a rebate. The proposed Bill would end this competition and harm consumers. Under the proposed law there would be no method by which buyers may receive a cash rebate from their brokers, and Illinois brokers would be forced to stop offering consumers these savings. Such a result would undermine competition and reduce choice.
In addition, we have seen no evidence demonstrating that the harm caused by banning rebates is offset by any benefits to consumers. In all of our work on legislation like this bill, proponents of such bills have never provided any convincing rationale that the bill will benefit consumers. Rebate bans do not prevent consumer fraud or any other potential harm to consumers. The notion that consumers are protected by limiting price competition is simply not defensible. Free and open competition is ultimately the best protection for consumers because market forces provide higher quality products at lower prices.
If H.B. 4313's ban on paying rebates is passed, Illinois would be among the small minority of states that continue to maintain rebate bans. All but twelve states allow brokers to offer rebates to consumers. With one exception, the recent trend among the states has been to repeal these bans. Kentucky, West Virginia, and South Dakota have all taken action to end their bans.
Consumers benefit from the price competition that the law currently allows, and they would be harmed if Illinois law were changed to disable that competition. Accordingly, we encourage you to evaluate H.B. 4313 in light of the harms to competition and consumers that the bill would engender. Should your committee decide to hold hearings on H.B. 4313, we would be pleased to share with you in more depth our experience evaluating the impact of measures that restrict the ability of brokers to pay rebates. Feel free to call Matthew Bester (202-353-3491) or Bennett Matelson (202-616-5871) of my staff if you have any questions or would like more information.
1. Mr. Brynelson may be reached at 815-575-1601, and Mr. Worrell may be reached at 773-244-5305.

I'd love to see an Indy Kubrick series and I guess they could do four series' fairly easily, one for each movie. At this point though the biggest hitch would be how to incorporate an ROTLA Indy into that movie series and still make it different enough from the chase version from the SW series 2 version. The other three movies would be quite easy to do and the rest of the ROTLA series as well. But it's got to have an Indy in it, maybe a Professor Indy version?
