Postpartum diet & fitness
Now 11 weeks postpartum, I ran the fastest mile, 5k and 15k I've ever run. And it was not even in a race.
mile: 6:30
5k: 21:23
15k: 1 hour 8 min 29 sec
So the 5k was in the middle of the 15k and the mile was at the end of that 5k.
Okay, so it's not that fast, but it is fast for me, the "spiritual runner."
I think the secret has been having slow run days and then short, fast (tempo) run days. And also taking at least one day off of running a week, where I bike and swim.
The other secret is weight loss. I'm down to between 115 and 116lbs or 5 lbs less than my pre-pregnancy weight. I've lost nearly 3 lbs in the last 10 days. Here's what I'm eating:
3 bowls of oatmeal
3 lefse
Diet root beer
1 bowl of oatmeal
3 lefse, each either filled with tofu or fish, sprouts, tomatoes, ketchup and mustard
1 acorn squash
1 bowl of oatmeal
1 frozen yogurt shake
(there are minor variations in there)
I exercise around 2.5 hours a day.
(The Bois is in 2 hours of daycare a day, less if I take him in the baby jogger. I'm working 2 nights a week and 1 weekend day a week. He is with SR while I'm working. We have a babysitter cover for the sometimes 1/2 an hour overlap before SR gets home on weekdays. We're so lucky he gets to be with one of us almost all of the time.)
And yes, I do love oatmeal. Oh and my blood pressure was a nice 86/59 at my IUD placement appointment today. That was obviously before the IUD was put in. Man, the cramps were terrible.
We went to a triathlon class tonight and we're quite excited. We're doing our first tri in June. Competition is fun. And a half marathon is coming up next weekend. It's great to be able to compete with people in a healthy and socially acceptable way. So, ladies in my town, bring it on!

Wow. Who are you? You're exercising 2.5 hours a day and eating that, have dropped that much weight that fast and are proud of it? Hellllooooo eating disorder!
Someone directed me to this blog yesterday because of the idiot move you made with your baby in the bike trailer -- which scared me more about how you wrote about it, which really didn't read like "I was so scared and don't make this mistake" as much as "ha hah look at what we did, oops!". So I don't know you, I'm a total stranger, feeling perfectly comfortable in my relative anonymity telling you that knowing people like you are out there SCARES THE CRAP out of me.
They trust you to administer medical care to other people? That terrifies me. I'm sorry.

Wannabe grower... wish you could spend your time making YOUR life happier rather than criticizing others. That's a big wish on my part, I realize. A far bigger wish would be that you could make a positive impact on others.
The Bois and I are going to enjoy the beautiful day outside now.
I wish you the best. Though I can't say I'm looking forward to more comments from you if they're like the one above.
P.S. Please read the note below the post you are referring to.
P.P.S. I feel great. My goal weight is 114. I'm almost there. Looks like the diet will be over next week. :). Yeah, I'm proud of dieting and succeeding. No doubt about that.

I won't lie, Sea Legs. I am jealous that you are so speedy and thin! I have always been a "big" person (thank goodness I am tall, too!) and I have never been skinny, although when I was younger I could lose weight easier. But I do exercise five days a week and have been running for 18 months (although I am positively SLOW compared with you!). I know once I hit 30, losing weight became much more difficult and frustrating! Stupid aging!
Enjoy your sunny day with that sweet little boy!

Thanks for your comment. The Bois is breastfeeding, so I thought I'd respond. I have been on the bigger side (not tall :)) in my life. I was a chubby kid. And 3 years ago I actually weighed 20-25 lbs more than I do now. Our society sets people up to be overweight (not saying that you ARE). It absolutely does take obsessiveness (or some metabolic derangement) to be an adult female and NOT have extra weight.
Hey and I was the second slowest mile runner in my junior high.
Anyway, I post what I do because I've found something that works for me.
Hope you enjoy your day and weekend, too!

Sea Legs, what is a 'lefse'? At first I thought it might be like Wasa flatbread, but now I think not. Okay, that much oatmeal I think I would die. Perhaps I would explode with all that fiber, LOL! We have a local grocery store (Wegmans) that has a program promoting healthy eating and the slogan is "Strive for Five". Five cups of fruits and veggies each day. Your oatmeal volume would interrupt my fruit/veggie consumption. I also wonder if oatmeal and paper mache' are the same substance. Glad you are enjoying your tri training. You will also gain a new circle of friends!

Have you seen a nutritionist? I am much larger than you (and not an RD) so I don't know what your needs are of course but you seem a little low in protein and Calories. I know I was happy when I went to a nutritionist trying to lose weight-- I wasn't on very low Calories, and was able to on much more. Then, my lean body mass is 125 lb so I know that changes metabolism quite a bit over yours so maybe I'm just projecting.
Best health to you either way.

|Perl: the Markov chain saw
Re: Often Overlooked OO Programming Guidelinesby hardburn (Abbot)
|on Dec 29, 2003 at 21:00 UTC ( #317548=note: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
Some argue that the behavior or subclasses (or subtypes) should not change . . .
I dunno. HTML::Template::Dumper significantly changes the behavior of HTML::Template. If people want to argue that this breaks Liskov, that's fine, but it doesn't stop HTML::Template::Dumper from being useful.
One important benifit is that YAML/Data::Dumper only show the state of the object's internal data structure, but not lexicals used for storing private data (see below). It might be private, but if it's for debugging or human-readability, it might still be important to print it out. So a mere Dump($obj); is often not enough.
Other observations:
1) One thing I often see is people storing things in the object's structure that should be private, or storing things in lexicals that should be accessible to subclasses. As a general rule, if you want a subclass to get at it, it should be in the blessed reference of the object. Or provide accessors/mutators that are only available to subclasses (not public, unless your design explicitly calls for it). If the data needs to be truely private, put it in lexicals declared at the top of the package.
2) If you have a factory method, do not hardcode the name of the class. Instead, put it in a subroutine, like this:
This better supports subclasses, which would otherwise need to override the entire bar_factory method (which could be extremely complex). Now they only need to say sub BAR_CLASS { 'My::Bar::Subclass' } to change exact output of the factory method. (It's the responsibility of the subclass to make sure My::Bar::Subclass implements the same methods as My::Bar).
3) Calling all your own methods should be done in $obj->method( @args ) form. Not method( $obj, @args ) or (worse) method( @args ). Both the bad examples break inheirtance, and the second one isn't a method at all. I could see an argument made for the method( $obj, @args ) form if performance is a concern and you don't care about subclasses or if it's a private method, but I see no excuse for the second form.
4) Document protected methods. Unlike some other languages, Perl doesn't have any very good ways to specify what methods should only be accessible to subclasses (though it has a multitude of hacked solutions). Ultimately, you need to document your protected methods, with warnings of fire coming down from heaven if somebody on the outside uses them. And make sure fire won't come down on ligitimate subclasses.

A fourth baby is believed to have contracted the killer disease, Pseudomonas, at Belfast's Royal Maternity Hospital.
Doctors are anxiously awaiting the results of laboratory tests after the deaths of three babies at the neo-natal unit.
The latest victim has displayed symptoms of the bacterial infection while six other babies are being monitored.
Northern Ireland Health Minister Edwin Poots is to issue an update on Tuesday on the hospital's attempts to trace the source of the deadly virus.
A major deep clean of the maternity unit was carried out over the weekend but staff were unable to trace the source of the infection.
Taps were removed and sinks and pipes checked amid fears it could be in the water system.
Minister Poots has asked for a full report from hospital staff before he addresses the Northern Ireland Assembly at Stormont.
Three babies, all born prematurely, have died since January 6th from pseudomonas aeruginosa which can be found in soil and stagnant water.

The disease is also a threat to elderly people with weak immune systems.
Northern Ireland's Department of Health confirmed that the number of babies who have bacteria on their skin is now six.
A statement said: "It is not causing active infection in these babies. The babies continue to receive the neonatal care they require.
"As a precautionary measure, babies' skin may be screened again as the situation requires to see if they are carrying the bacteria.
"All necessary precautions are being taken to avoid spread of infection.
"The affected area in the unit will remain closed until it is absolutely certain it is a safe environment in which to manage premature babies."
Plans are in place to move expectant mothers to other hospitals if necessary but the hospital is currently fully operational and working as normal.
The statement added: "Neonatal care in NI is provided within a network across the five trusts and all the organisations involved are co-operating fully on a daily basis to ensure that specialist neonatal care remains available for all infants who require this level of support.
"In line with well established practice, some mothers due to give birth or babies who require special neonatal care may be transferred to another unit. This will be on the basis of specialist clinical advice to ensure babies receive the most appropriate care.
"Providing infants with a high level of care and supporting concerned any parents remains a key priority."

A Brazilian judge ordered American swimmers to stay in Rio while their robbery account is probed, the sailing tournament fizzled and records were set in wrestling and soccer. Here are some of the memorable moments from Day 12 of the Rio Games.
Lochte Decamps As Judge Doubts Robbery
U.S. Olympic swimmers Ryan Lochte and Jimmy Feigen were ordered by a Brazilian judge on Wednesday to remain in the country while authorities investigated their report of being robbed at gunpoint in Rio — but Lochte already was back in the United States. Feigen remains in Brazil, according to his lawyer, though he and the rest of the U.S. swim team had left the Olympic Village.
Two other swimmers who were with them — Gunnar Bentz and Jack Conger —were removed from a plane in Rio by Brazilian authorities Wednesday night and will not be allowed to leave the country until they testify about the alleged robbery, their lawyer said. All three swimmers were set to be questioned on Thursday.
Judge Keyla Blanc De Cnop, who authorized the swimmers' passports be seized, said the swimmers had given police contradictory accounts of what had happened. Lochte said there was one robber, while Feigen said there were several, though only one with a gun, the judge said.
Blanc De Cnop also questioned their demeanor on security video obtained by the DailyMail.com as they returned to the Olympic Village passing through detectors.
"You can see the supposed victims arriving without signs of being physically or psychologically shaken, even joking amongst themselves," the judge said.
The men could be liable for punishment if they filed a false police report.
Lochte's lawyer, Jeff Ostrow, told NBC News that Lochte had always said that there were a number of thieves.
"This is a complete circus, and shame on Brazilian authorities for trying to flip the script and make it sound like Ryan isn't telling the truth," Ostrow said. "They have a dark cloud around these Olympics, and they're trying to get out from under it and trying to use Ryan as a pawn."
Lochte, a 12-time Olympic medalist, told NBC News that he, Feigen and the other swimmers, Bentz and Conger, were returning from a night of partying early Sunday when their taxi was pulled over by men who appeared to be police officers. They ordered the swimmers to the ground, and when Lochte refused — he said he told them they'd done nothing wrong — one of the assailants aimed a pistol at him.
But NBC's Matt Lauer said Wednesday evening that Lochte had changed some details of his account. He said that that they were robbed after stopping at a gas station and the gun had been pointed in his direction, not pressed to his forehead.
Wind Knocked From Their Sails
It was a beautiful 79-degree day on Guanabara Bay but for one thing.
In the end, Olympic officials had to cancel the men's and women's 470 medal race.
The uncooperative weather put an end to some races on Monday too — first because of too little wind and then too much. When wind speed reached 38 knots, races were canceled because of unsafe conditions.
The wind is predicted to pick up again Thursday and the sailing to resume.
Before the Rio Games began, the concern was pollution in Guanabara Bay, into which the city still pours untreated sewage. An independent study by The Associated Press showed high levels of viruses and sometimes bacteria from human sewage in the waters where hundreds of sailors are competing
Swift Feet on the Soccer Pitch
Brazil's Neymar scored in the first 15 seconds of a match against Honduras for the fastest goal in men's Olympic history, then scored again in the final minutes in Brazil's 6-0 win.
The victory at Rio's historic Maracana Stadium moves the host nation into the gold medal match against Germany.
Brazil has never won an Olympic gold in soccer. Germany dealt Brazil an embarrassing defeat during World Cup play in 2014 in Brazil and went on to win the competition.
An American Sweep
U.S. women swept the 100-meter hurdles at the Rio Games on Wednesday, the first time one country has taken the top spots in the event.
American Brianna Rollins started out fast and won gold in 12.48 seconds. Nia Ali won silver with 12.59 and Kristi Castlin won 12.61 for bronze.
A Historic Win in Wrestling
Japan swept the first day of women's wresting, winning three medals and setting a record.
Kaori Icho became the first wrestler to ever win four gold medals on Wednesday. She is also the first woman in any sport to win gold in individual events at four Olympics.
Icho trailed late in the 58 kilogram match against Russia's Valeria Koblova, but ended with a dramatic 3-2 win.
Eri Tosaka won in the 48 kilogram match, while Sara Dosho rallied to take the 69 kilograms.
Another teammate, Saori Yoshida, will try to match Icho's four consecutive medals on Thursday.
Boxing Judges Sent Home
An undisclosed number of referees and judges were removed from the Olympics after the International Boxing Association determined they had not met the organization's standards, The Associated Press reported.
The association did not disclose the judges' names or which fights they officiated at but the results of all bouts will stand.
The banished judges apparently didn't include some of those involved in the two most prominent disputed decisions: Russian heavyweight Evgeny Tishchenko's victory over Kazakh power-puncher Vassiliy Levit and Russia's Vladimir Nikitin win over Irish bantamweight world champion Michael Conlan.
Judges in both of those fights were on the organization's list of working officials on Wednesday.
Bronze in Beach Volleyball
The U.S. volleyball team, Kerri Walsh Jennings and April Ross, on Wednesday won the bronze medal in women's beach volleyball.
They defeated a tough Brazilian team for the medal.
Walsh Jennings described her Tuesday night loss, which ended the team's dream of gold, as "a terrible feeling."
Some Lighters Moments
With the final Olympic gymnastics event behind him and two Rio silver medals to his name, American Danell Leyva let loose on the parallel bars during the gymnastics gala.
Meanwhile out on the golf course, the wildlife ruled.

Money-market, stock and bond funds had net outflows of $48.8 billion in June, according to data released by the Financial Research Corp. late Friday, which includes ETFs, but excludes fund-of-funds.
Money-market funds experienced the biggest pain–with $48.3 billion in net outflows in June, which followed outflows of $5.8 billion in May. Year to date, money-market funds have experienced $136.7 billion in outflows vs. outflows of $489.4 billion for the first six months of 2010.
When combined with stock and bond funds, though, the mutual fund industry looks far healthier: It has experienced close to $35 billion in total net inflows in the first six months of 2011 vs. outflows of roughly $270 billion in the same period of 2010. Total assets stand at $12.1 trillion vs. $10.3 trillion in June 2010.
Stock, Bond Funds
Excluding money markets, long-term stock and bond funds had outflows of $487 million in June, after experiencing net inflows of $12.5 billion in May. Year to date, these fund groups have had net inflows of $171.4 billion vs. inflows of $219.3 in the same year-ago period.
On the positive side, international/global fixed-income funds experienced net inflows of $5.7 billion in the month, followed by government bonds with $4.5 billion and international/global equity funds with $2.5 billion. Tax-free funds drew $2.2 billion, while corporate-focused funds gained $665 million.
Equity funds had outflows of $16 billion, though some ETFs faired quite well: The SPDR S&P 500 attracted $4.4 billion to lead the fund sales chart, FRC says.
By Morningstar category, world bonds led the flows list in June with $3.4 billion. Intermediate-term bonds had close to $3.4 billion, while multi-sector bonds had nearly $3.1 billion in net flows. Diversified emerging-markets funds attracted nearly $3.1 billion, and emerging-markets bonds expanded by $2.6 billion.
Top Funds, Groups
Vanguard continues to top the fund-family chart in terms of assets with $1.52 trillion. American Funds is in the second-largest position with $988 billion, followed by Fidelity with $919 billion.
BlackRock has roughly $625 billion, while PIMCO has $438 billion and Franklin Templeton $355 billion.
The largest fund families saw their overall asset levels fall slight in June from the prior month by between 0.2% (PIMCO) to 2.5% (Fidelity).
Year to date, though, these fund groups have grown their assets by a range of 1.55% (American Funds) to 7.54% (PIMCO and Franklin Templeton).
The SPDR S&P 500 was the post popular individual fund in June (with flows of $4.4 billion).
Other funds that attracted large flows include the Vanguard MSCI Emerging Markets Fund ($2.5 billion) and the Franklin Templeton Global Bond Fund ($2.0 bonds).
Thanks to the popularity of its global-bond fund and overall investor sentiment that has recently turned against equities, the stock of Franklin Resources (the parent company of Franklin Templeton) has been trading up about 14% vs. stock declines of roughly 10% for other asset managers and custody banks included the S&P 500, Bloomberg reported Friday.
According to FRC, the Franklin Templeton Global Bond Fund has experienced inflows of $10.7 billion in the first six months of 2011. It now has about $59 billion in total assets.

(Editor's Update: Full story here)
DARWIN, Australia (CNS) — Pope Benedict XVI celebrated a 7 a.m. Mass in the chapel of the rectory at St. Mary's Cathedral in Sydney, Australia, July 21, with four victims of clerical sex abuse in attendance. The victims were two men and two women, accompanied by supporters and by priest in charge of offering them pastoral assistance. After the Mass, the pope spoke to each individually and allowed them to share their story. Vatican spokesman Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi called it a "concrete gesture to express the feelings he had demonstrated," earlier when the pope publically apologized to victims.
The Vatican told members of the media about the Mass with victims when they arrived at the airport Monday in Sydney, Australia, for the pope's return flight to Rome from World Youth Day.

CHOCTAW, Miss. -- Senior Josh Simer finished third to earn
all-tournament honors and help lead the Tennessee Tech men's golf
team to second place among 13 teams at the Frito Lay-AT&T
Invitational hosted by Jackson State University.
The Golden Eagles matched tournament champion Union University in posting the lowest round of the day Monday with a 306. It helped Tech jump all the way from eighth place after Sunday's play to second.
Simer followed his opening round 71 with a 77 on Monday for a 36-hole total 148, three shots back of the top spot held by Archie Shepherd III of Florida A&M. It was the second all-tournament honor andhighest finish this season for Simer, who placed fourth last fall at the Murray State Invitational.
Union's 618 won the team crown, with Tech sneaking in to second place with a 624, one shot ahead of host Jackson State (625). Florida A&M (627) was fourth and McNeese (628) fifth. The next five included Mississippi College (629), Lipscomb and Lambuth (638), UT Martin (642) and Savannah State (693).
Tech had four golfers in the Top 20, including three on the team plus Travis Ramsey who competed as an individual.
Jake Heatherly and Blake Garrison tied for 19th place at 159. Heatherly shot rounds of 79 and 80, while Garrison made a huge jump Monday, improving from 85 on the first day to a team-best 74 on Monday.
Wes Korth had the biggest jump on the team, going from a non-counting 91 Sunday to a 75 on Monday, the second-best score on the squad. Preston Marshall, Tech's fifth team member, shot 83-89--172 and tied for 46th place.
Ramsey actually had Tech's second-best showing in the tournament, finishing in a tie for 13th place with scores of 80 and 76 for a 156 total, but it didn't count toward the team's total.
The Golden Eagles will play in the Grover Page Invitational, hosted by UT Martin, next Monday and Tuesday.

I was very skeptical about shooting jewelry with Iphone. But when Alex Koloskov showed me the test result I was impressed! More about Jewelry Photography with iPhone.
I just wanna say: It's unbelievable!
Now, if you need your jewelry pictures for web, you don't have to buy an expensive professional camera, even more, you don't have to buy a camera at all…if you have Iphone of course:-)
And with some Photoshop skills you can get a great images for web sites.
Look at my examples of before and after post-production:
I'm reading the book by Betty Edwards now: Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain
This book opens my eyes. Highly recommend to everyone.
My pictures become better and better. I'll show it some day here:-) My dream is to combine retouching, painting and drawing in Photoshop. Should be fun:-)

With over 1.5 billion adherents, Islam is the world's second-largest religion after Christianity. Muslims believe the faith's central text, the Qur'an, was revealed to the prophet Muhammed during a series of divine encounters. The doctrines of the Qur'an are expounded in the Hadith, collections of sayings attributed to Muhammed, and enacted in Sharia, a moral code considered to be the infallible law of God. The religion is known for its "five pillars": testimony, prayer, almsgiving, fasting, and pilgrimage, all of which have parallels in Western Christianity. Islam diverges from Christianity in its rejection of several core tenets: the Trinity, the divinity of Christ, the atonement of Christ, the grace of God, and the nature of the afterlife. Embattled in a centuries-long conflict spanning the early days of the Roman Empire to the September 11 terrorist attacks and beyond, Muslims and Christians continue to jockey for cultural and spiritual influence via interfaith evangelism efforts and sociopolitical advocacy.

KABUL, Afghanistan — The international military coalition in Afghanistan says two of its service members died in an attack in the country's east.
The NATO force said the two died Monday but gave no other details. Coalition policy is for home countries to identify their military dead.
The deaths come two days after five British service members died in a helicopter crash in the southern province of Kandahar. They bring to nine the number of international troops killed in Afghanistan this month and 25 this year.
Casualties have been falling in the U.S.-led military coalition as its forces pull back to allow the Afghan army and police to fight the Taliban insurgency. All combat troops are scheduled to be withdrawn from the country by the end of this year.

Former premier Frank Hsieh (謝長廷) of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) announced yesterday he would visit China from Thursday until Monday, adding that he hoped the visit would serve as a catalyst for the DPP's closer engagement with Beijing.
The five-day trip that will take him and his delegation to Xiamen and Beijing will make Hsieh the highest-ranking former DPP official to visit China. Hsieh has served as premier and DPP chairman
"I am willing to take the first step for bilateral exchanges [between the DPP and China] and be responsible for whatever consequences may follow," Hsieh told a press conference at his office, with more than 50 reporters covering the event.
"Cross-strait engagement cannot be monopolized by the Chinese Nationalist Party [KMT]. The DPP cannot stand still and neither should it be marginalized from the platform of bilateral dialogue," he said.
The veteran politician has accepted an invitation from the the International Bartenders' Association to watch a bartending competition in Beijing and was granted a visa for the trip.
Hsieh and his delegation are scheduled to visit Xiamen, Fujian Province, where he will pay tribute to his ancestors on Dongshan Island and visit Xiamen University, as well as Taiwanese businesses, on Thursday and Friday. He will then go to Beijing for the bartending event and a visit to the Beijing National Stadium, nicknamed "the Bird's Nest."
Hsieh said he would visit China in his private capacity as chairman of the Taiwan Reform Foundation and there would be "no public political events" in his itinerary.
"The visit will also be an attempt to forge mutual trust, which is crucial between domestic political parties, as well as countries across the strait," he said.
The visit to Xiamen was a dream finally fulfilled, Hsieh said, because a visit he had planned to the city when he was Kaohsiung mayor 12 years ago was blocked by then-president Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁).
While he would like to make the trip non-political, Hsieh said he would not hesitate to talk to officials in Beijing about the Republic of China and his China policies, which call for a "constitutional consensus" (憲法共識) and "one Constitution, two interpretations (憲法各表)".
Hsieh has been using the two concepts in recent years to replace his previous concept of "constitutional one China" (憲法一中), a vague term that was criticized by some DPP members.
Concerns about his possible political discussions with Chinese leaders were unnecessary, Hsieh said in a question-and-answer session, saying he had "put all [his] ideas in a book," so he could not change them overnight.
The delegation will include DPP lawmakers Lee Ying-yuan (李應元) and Chao Tien-lin (趙天麟), Greater Kaohsiung Councilor Kang Yu-cheng (康裕成), Yunlin County Commissioner Su Chih-fen (蘇治芬) and TransWorld University professor Hsieh Min-chieh (謝敏捷).
Several DPP members have visited China since the DPP's loss in the presidential election in January, including New Taipei City (新北市) office director Lo Chih-cheng (羅致政), former Straits Exchange Foundation chairman Hung Chi-chang (洪奇昌) and DPP Legislator Hsiao Bi-khim (蕭美琴).
Hsieh said he had talked to DPP Chairman Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) about the trip, but declined to disclose further details.
Su responded yesterday evening by lauding Hsieh's effort to promote better understanding of China, saying that he was confident that the trip would be "surprise-free" because Hsieh has always been a wise politician who knows very well how to safeguard Taiwan's sovereignty and democratic values.

SAN JOSE — Two Milpitas teens were killed early Saturday when the car they were riding in careened off Interstate 880 and ran into a ditch, the California Highway Patrol said.
The 19-year-old passenger died at the scene after he was ejected from his car near the Gish Road exit in San Jose. The driver, also 19, was transported to Regional Medical Center with major injuries suffered in the 1:37 a.m. crash. He later died at the hospital, CHP Officer D.J. Sarabia said.
According to the CHP, a 2010 silver Chevrolet Cobalt was headed north on I-880 in the slow lane early Saturday. The vehicle left the roadway to the right, went out of control down an embankment and ran into the ditch. The car ended up just south of the freeway on-ramp.
The Chevy was speeding, the CHP reported. Alcohol is suspected as a factor in the crash, Sarabia said.
The CHP did not identity either the driver or the passenger, nor say whether either was wearing a seat belt. San Jose Fire Department paramedics pronounced the passenger dead at the scene.
No other vehicles were involved in the crash.
The middle lane of northbound I-880 was closed for about 30 minutes; the slow lane was closed for about three hours near Gish Road.

Knowledge Press
Today, as individuals and as a society, we are faced with highly complex challenges. When we don't solve them correctly they rapidly become crises. This book explains how we can use complex systems research to solve complex problems in: ♦ healthcare ♦ education ♦ military conflict ♦ ethnic violence and terrorism ♦ international development.
Highly complex problems cannot be solved by any one individual. Traditional organizations, traditional forms of control and planning are not effective. Making Things Work draws on insights from complex systems research about emergence, complexity, patterns, networks and evolution. It explains how effective organizations form through cooperation and competition, and how to make non-hierarchical distributed organizational structures effective at their tasks.
About the author: Yaneer Bar-Yam is the President of the New England Complex Systems Institute and author of Dynamics of Complex Systems, the premier textbook on the science of complex systems. He has been working with: military planners on military organization, technology and transformation; healthcare executives on medical errors and quality of care; systems engineers on Air Force real time systems; members of the intelligence community on ethnic violence and terrorism; educators on education system reform; and executives at corporations on corporate effectiveness in an uncertain highly competitive world. Here he shares insights about ways to apply concepts from the study of complex systems to real world problems.
This book deals with pressing issues confronting our society and gives a new perspective on how they can be addressed using novel tools from the study of complex systems. The scientific study of complex systems is attracting the attention of executives and policy makers because our society has reached a remarkably high level of complexity. New ideas are essential to meet the challenges we face.
"Complexity is the science of the 21st century. The catch is that we may have to wait decades to see it applied. Bar-Yam offers a convincing case, however, that the applications have arrived: many complex problems occurring in business and society can be successfully solved using the insights and tools of the emerging field. A thought provoking work by one of the field's prominent thinkers."
-- Albert-László Barabási, Author of Linked: The New Science of Networks

MACRO CHALLENGES OF OUR COMPLEX WORLD & ORGANIZATIONS., July 19, 2005
Reviewer: Gerry Stern "Stern's Management Review Online" (Culver City, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This book is bound to please anyone who wants to grapple with the complexity of today's world and organizations, and is interested in the truly big picture and issues.
Part I explains concepts central to complex systems, such as: parts, wholes and relationships; patterns; networks and collective memory; possibilities; and evolution. The second and major part of the book focuses on how we can apply complex systems ideas to help solve such major real-world challenges as: military warfare and conflict; health care (the system and errors); learning and the educational system; international development; enlightened evolutionary engineering; and global control, ethnic violence and terrorism. The first hurdle is to comprehend these problems using our knowledge of complex systems and then begin to address them using a complex systems framework.
The book is intellectually refreshing and bold. Its content is expansive, enlightening, and mind-stimulating.

Complexity demystified, March 15, 2005
Reviewer: John McGuirl "rocketman_37" (RI, USA) - See all my reviews
In "Making Things Work" Yaneer provides the reader with an excellent, non-technical discussion of some of the more important concepts in Complexity science. Like other successful popularizers of science such as Carl Sagan, Yaneer has a gift for explaining difficult subjects in a way that everyone can understand. He then shows how these concepts can (and should) be used to address real-world problems such as the health-care crisis and education. It should be required reading for policy-makers and business leaders.
For a more technical treatment, I'd recommend Yaneer's earlier book or better yet, take a course at NECSI.

Great applications!, January 31, 2005
Reviewer: Cameran Young (Cambridge, MA) - See all my reviews
"Making Things Work" provides a great background into the study of complex systems (something that I knew very little about beforehand) and then continues on to apply those concepts and models to real world examples. The examples are easy to follow and all make perfect sense. This book certainly provides many useful problem-solving lifestyle changes

Interesting, clear, powerful, January 27, 2005
Reviewer: Mary Ann Allison (Brooklyn, New York USA) - See all my reviews
"Making Things Work" is one of those rare and to-be-treasured books which 1) addresses serious and difficult problems and 2) is an easy and interesting read.
Bar-Yam applies key principles of complex systems to many of the large and seemingly insoluble problems that we face as a society and gives us a reason to hope by providing new ways of understanding and addressing them. Bar-Yam's approaches are not simplistic panaceas. Implementation requires new ways of thinking and acting.
The only caution I have is that, for most people, it takes time and mental discipline to be able to use these powerful ideas effectively.

Clear and Comprehensible, January 26, 2005
Reviewer: Steve Young (Chicago) - See all my reviews
I read the author's previous book "Dynamics of Complex Systems," which is also an outstanding book that offers a more technical and in-depth look at complex systems in textbook form. The new book, "Making Things Work: Solving Complex Problems in a Complex World", presents complex systems concepts in a clear and understandable manner. Most of the book is devoted to detailed discussion of real world examples from the military, health care, education, international development, engineering, and global ethnic violence and terrorism. The author provides thought-provoking insights as well as innovative approaches to dealing with the complex problems in these areas. The world could be a different place if more people read this book.

Truly Enlightening, January 17, 2005
Reviewer: D Moore (Florida) - See all my reviews
Making Things Work is a truly enlightening work. It opens your mind to a new way of thinking and approaching real complex problems. The author provides both the scientific framework of complex systems in a readable form as well as the practical application to various real problems. The chapters on healthcare as well as the chapters on education have inspired my thinking.

Pragmatism & the Science of Complexity, January 17, 2005
Reviewer: D. O. Norman (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
Making Things Work is a lucid presentation of an important topic that takes the reader by the hand and walks along a path that all would do well to travel. I particularly liked his preludes where he sets the social context and personal "ah ha!" he's experienced.
This book is must reading for decision makers in industry and government. A well-thumbed copy should be found on the shelf of any person claiming to think deeply about "transformation."

Local China-based PC player Hedy recently took to the media to voice its displeasure with Intel and make allegation of misuse of the chip giant's market development fund (MDF) in China. Hedy vice president Junbiao Mao made bold claims to Chinese-language media site Southern.com that Intel is using its marketing development fund and frequent assessments of companies to increase the dependence of China PC players on the IT giant.
Intel responded to the accusations by stating that it believes its business practices in China have been fair and lawful.
While Hedy is just one company, some of the accusations aimed at Intel ring familiar to past allegations made by disgruntled industry players before Intel reportedly significantly cut back on its MDF in many markets after Intel and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) ended all outstanding legal disputes between them late last year.
Mao claimed that while perhaps a favored PC vendor in China can sell only 50,000 PCs each month, Intel would provide the company with 100,000 CPUs, with the excess supply going to grey market sales in Hong Kong. This creates a system where vendors lose money on PC sales but earn profits through the sales of CPUs. Mao also accused Intel of judging players in the China market by the proportion of its sales going to Intel- and AMD-based products.
A quick visit to Hedy's English-language website revealed that most of the company's PC models came with a choice of Intel or AMD processors/motherboards, though it remains to be seen – based on Hedy's own evaluation of the market – whether it will continue offering Intel products. Mao claimed in the report that if a vendor's AMD product proportion surpasses that of Intel, supply of Intel CPUs would be cut. Mao also said that Hedy will form relationship with AMD and reduce its cooperation with Intel in the future.
Other accusations made by Hedy seemed to convey the message that the PC vendor is actively trying to end any relationship (if there is still one) it has with Intel. Mao claimed most China-based PC players believe that in 2006 Intel stopped supplying CPUs to China-based Tsinghua Tongfang due to the player expanded its cooperation with AMD, despite Tsinghua Tongfang having denied the rumor (Also, Tsinghua Tongfang currently offers CPU-based PCs). Mao also accused Intel of forcing China-based PC players to buy high-end CPUs to help digest excess inventory at the chipmaker. Some players needing to reach quota will purchase CPUs at the original price and sell them at a cheaper price since demand for high-end CPU in China is weak, thus cutting into profits from mainstream processor-based products.
Mao concluded by saying Hedy had a quarter of its profit coming from Intel's marketing development fund in 2002, though one could surmise that the proportion has dropped in the past eight years.

Foo Fighters, My Morning Jacket to Appear On New John Fogerty Record
Generations of rock musicians will collide in the fall when John Fogerty, the legendary frontman for Creedence Clearwater Revivial, will release 'Wrote A Song For Everyone.' The album features Fogerty re-recording some of his classic songs with an assortment of performers from the pop, rock and country genres.
Three acts from the alternative and indie world have been confirmed for the project. Foo Fighters will sing 'Fortunate Son,' Creedence's 1969 protest song about how children of privilege did not have to fight in Vietnam. My Morning Jacket and Dawes, worthy heirs to Jackson Browne's realm of world-weary folk-rock, will also contribute to the project.
Creedence Clearwater Revival were one of the most successful and prolific bands of their day. Between 1968 and 1974 they recorded seven albums and had ten Top Ten hits, including 'Proud Mary,'Bad Moon Rising' and 'Have You Ever Seen the Rain?' They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993. Fogerty had several hits as a solo artist in the 1970s and 1980s, notably 'Rockin' All Over the World,' 'Centerfield' and 'The Old Man Down the Road.' The latter of those songs sparked a famous 1985 lawsuit where Fogerty was unsuccessfully sued by his old label for plagiarizing his own work.
The album's title, 'Wrote a Song For Everyone,' comes from Creedence's 1969 album, 'Green River.' The song was covered in 2010 by gospel legend Mavis Staples on her Grammy-winning album, 'You Are Not Alone,' which was produced by Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy.

The new school year is upon us and having a child that has to eat gluten-free makes it all a little more stressful. Fortunately over the past couple of years, things have become a little easier.
Jon is entering into 8th grade, his last year in middle school. How did I get old enough to have a child that is almost in high school? The nice thing about this age is that there is not the worry of class parties with gluten-filled goodies from home being brought in to be shared. Every once in a while, they will have a food party of sorts and I will send something in for Jon. I usually ask him what he prefers. Sometimes it is just a snack like yogurt or a Think Thin bar. He doesn't always have to have the equivalent of what the rest of the kids are having….that doesn't seem to bother him.
Even though Jon is well versed on the gluten-free diet and is old enough to explain to his teachers that he can't eat gluten, I still send out an email at the beginning of the year so that they are all aware. I not only do this so that they know that he can't eat certain things if they have them in class, but so that they understand that if he is sick due to a potential incident with gluten, they don't give him any trouble. You can find an example of the letter/email that I send here and please feel free to use it and modify it to fit your needs. Gluten Intolerance Group is another site that has all kinds of publications that may be useful this time of the year.
Now, onto the fun stuff. School lunch. Jon is not the only child in his school with Celiac Disease. Last year there were 7 or 8 and at least 1 staff member that I was aware of. Because of this, the cafeteria staff is somewhat aware of the needs of the needs of those on a gluten-free diet. I have not felt comfortable enough yet to give this route a try, though now that Jon is older, I may let him try it out this year. I will meet with the head of the cafeteria & base my decision on his/her knowledge & explanation of how they plan to accommodate his needs.
Packed lunches. This is what we have been doing for the past few years that Jon has been on the gluten-free diet. There are several different things that Jon will take for lunch. Whenever I mention a sandwich, we are using Pamela's Gluten -free bread mix that I make weekly.
- PB & J (I toast the bread, let it cool, then spread each piece with PB and put the jelly on top. This helps keep the bread from getting soggy from the jelly).
- Turkey or Ham & cheese
- Mac & Cheese in the thermos
- Spaghetti & meat sauce in the thermos
- Deli roll-ups (roll up cheese in deli meat..could use cream cheese, though Jon doesn't like it)
- Pepperoni & cheese (Hormel regular & turkey says "GF" on the package)
Side items
- yogurt (Yopliat custard style Light says "GF" on the side)
- chips (we do Lay's Stax or Lay's Potato Chips)
- Blue corn chips & salsa
- applesauce (I do natural w/ added cinnamon)
- fresh cut fruit (whatever is in season, though Jon is picky)
- GF Cookies
- GF brownies
Other ideas
- Salads w/ a protein (grilled chicken, steak, salmon, tuna)
- tuna salad w/ GF crackers
- Carrots & celery w/PB or AB
- Cream cheese w/ celery
- dried fruit
- fresh fruit
- Lara Bars, Pure Bars, Kind Bars, Think Thin Bars
- Greek yogurt + fruit + dried cereal or GF granola
- Cheese & GF Crackers
- GF Pasta or quinoa salad (add beans like chickpeas or black beans for protein)
- Apples or other fruit with PB or AB
- hard boiled eggs
- nuts or trail mix
- fruit leather (Trader Joe's has a great 100% fruit, no sugar added variety)
There are countless options out there, you just have to get a little creative. For more fun ideas, visit this site for 30 more school lunch ideas. They aren't all GF, but they can be modified to fit your needs.
Jon does buy milk or yogurt from the cafeteria and as I mentioned above, I hope to be able to give him a little more freedom this year and hope I can get the cooperation from the cafeteria staff.
I hope that this was helpful to you. I wish everyone a safe & happy 2009 – 2010 school year!

Cambridge Audio and PSB system review
A winning combination of audio components that delivers fantastic sound
Heads up!Welcome to this article from the Crutchfield archives. Have fun reading it, but be aware that the information may be outdated and links may be broken.
A match that's music to our ears
The right combination of audio gear can provide a deeper emotional connection to your music. But how do you know what the right combination is? Often it simply comes down to intuition, experience, and a little luck. We're fortunate enough to have the Crutchfield Labs here as our "test kitchen" where we can experiment with a wide variety of "ingredients" to come up with the best sounding combos. We recently headed to the Labs listening room to check out a system of critically acclaimed components from Cambridge Audio, PSB, and Furman first hand. Read our impressions below.
Our capable cast of players
Starting with Cambridge Audio's beefy 851A integrated amplifier, we added the multi-talented Cambridge 851C. This versatile component not only plays CDs, its built-in DAC (digital-to-analog converter) also does a fantastic job decoding audio signals from a PC, network music streamer, or any other digital music source you care to play through it. We then connected PSB's Imagine T2 tower speakers, and finally plugged our electronics into the Furman Elite-15 PFi for clean, safe power.
A combination made in hi-fi heaven
A panel of experienced listeners from our Creative department spun CDs and used the USB output from a Wi-Fi®-connected laptop computer to play music from MOG, a high-quality online music streaming service. Overall, our panel found this musically satisfying system exceptional at re-creating a near-live listening experience with stunning dynamics, and for its ability to reveal the vast differences in recorded sound from track to track.
Our Cambridge Audio System in Detail
Impressions from the panel
"I was sitting on the far left edge of the room on the floor, at the end of the row, but I was still able to hear a pretty good stereo presentation, even from the corner."
"When we switched over to an acoustic swing track, it really slapped me in the face how different the recording was from the previous Fairport Convention cut. (As you would expect.) I was really digging on the warmth and the laid-back feel of the Fairport Convention mix ... sounded kinda like vinyl. I did not particularly dig the slightly colder sound of the second cut...it had a bit of a brassy edge. But those are differences you'd want your audio system to be able to reproduce."
"I liked all the MOG tracks. The system did a nice job of resolving complex mixes. In the quieter guitar passages, there was a whole array of subtle tonal colors that SRV (Stevie Ray Vaughan) was able to evoke, just by varying his hand techniques -- not sure I'd heard that particular quality in his playing before yesterday, at least not to that degree."
"When Jim brought the computer down and let the DAC do some work, HO-LEE-COW! I began to hear things in the stream that provided me with realistic information about the room, as well as the full dynamics of the instruments and their characteristics. I guess that's just a fancy way of saying that the last two recordings I heard made me feel like the artist was in the room. I can't really give any system a higher compliment than that."
"The 851A integrated amp was able to drive the T2s without any compression to levels beyond what I'm normally comfortable listening to (that is, fairly loud but realistic concert hall volume when appropriate). I couldn't help but feel they might need even more power for those who listen to bass-heavy content at near-insane levels. PSB says the T2s will handle 300 watts RMS — I totally believe them. However in my opinion, this system is all about finesse, head bangers really needn't apply."
"CD playback was more than respectable, but where this system really shined was streaming audio. When used as a USB DAC with a laptop connected, the 851C was brilliant. It burnished compressed MOG audio files (streamed at a better-than-average 320 kbps) to a fine glow. The degree of detail resolution was astounding, yet there was a pleasant analog-like smoothness to the sound that invited you to listen fatigue-free for hours."
Our Cambridge Audio System in Detail
|Cambridge Audio Azur 851A amplifier
Cambridge Audio Azur 851A integrated amplifier
Cambridge's flagship integrated amp will spoil you with its astonishing levels of musical detail, finesse, and speaker-gripping power. This component features: two toroidal transformers supplying pristine, supercharged power. But let's break this statement down to its nuts and bolts. The toroidal transformers are nearly impervious to hum, buzz, and interference. And Cambridge Audio's patented Class XD amplification technology combine the sonic refinements of a Class A amplifier with the cool-running efficiency of a Class AB amp.
|Cambridge Audio Azur 851C CD player, DAC and digital preamp
Cambridge Audio Azur 851C CD player/DAC/digital preamp
This upsampling digital-to-analog converter makes the most of your CD collection, as well as all of your other digital music sources. The player's full complement of digital inputs include USB for your computer, coaxial digital inputs for a DVD or Blu-ray player, or a Sonos® Connect player; and optical digital inputs for an HDTV, Apple TV®, or game console. There's also a balanced digital XLR input that provides an ultra-low-noise connection for a compatible high-end transport. Plus, this player's balanced XLR audio outputs provide a low-noise, pro-quality connection to a compatible high-end amplifier (like the Azur 851A, above).
|Furman Elite 15 PFi power protector
Furman Elite-15 PFi Power line conditioner and surge protector
Exclusive Furman technologies help maximize the protection and performance of your audio gear. The Elite-15 PFi constantly monitors the incoming AC, and if voltage reaches 15% above normal, it automatically shuts off power to all connected equipment. Wide-bandwidth noise filtration reduces the AC line noise that can mask low-level audio and video details. The result is noticeably improved picture and sound quality.
A pair of PSB Imagine T2 Tower floor-standing speakers
This slender, elegantly curved tower speaker conjures up a wide, deep soundstage with pinpoint accuracy and clarity. The Imagine T2 uses a five-driver array made up of three woofers, a midrange, and a dome tweeter. Each woofer is isolated in its own sealed chamber to provide more precise cabinet tuning. The T'2s are capable of powerful, controlled bass down to 34Hz. The T2's present a superbly accurate and stable stereo image.

Fixing Broken Formula Links in Excel 2007
Formulas in Excel 2007 can reference external workbooks. Links become broken when external workbooks are moved, deleted, or renamed. When a workbook that contains an external reference is opened but cannot find the other workbook(s) referenced in one or more formulas, a warning message appears. Excel displays the following message when a link is broken.
You have two choices when this error message appears:
Click the Continue button. The cells that contain formulas that reference external workbooks present results calculated with the last known values found in the external workbooks from previous sessions.
Click the Edit Links button. This action displays the Edit Links dialog box. This dialog box offers a number of choices for handling the broken links.Using the Edit Links dialog box to correct external reference problems.
The Edit Links dialog box gives you options on how to handle broken links. The buttons along the right side of the dialog box work like this:
Update Values: When external workbooks are where they should be, this action gets the values from the external workbooks, and the cells with those formulas are recalculated. When there are broken links, a dialog box appears from which you browse to a file that contains the values. This does not necessarily have to be the missing workbook — it could be another workbook. However, using Update Values in this manner does not fix the link. It helps you get values, but does not change the way formulas are written. Instead, use the Change Source option, listed next.
Change Source: This option displays a dialog box that lets you select an external workbook to use. Selecting a workbook in this dialog box actually alters the formula that references the external workbook. So this is the best course to take to permanently fix a broken link.
Open Source: In the case of broken links, this action does nothing because the source (the external workbook) cannot be found. An error message will confirm this. In the case of working links, this action opens the workbook referenced in the link.
Break Link: This action converts formulas that contain external links to the calculated values. In other words, the cells that contain formulas with external links are replaced with a value; the formulas are removed. Make sure this is what you want to do. You cannot undo this action, and it can be a serious mistake if you did this unintentionally.
Check Status: Provides status on links. A number of values are possible (such as OK, Unknown, Error: Source not found, Error: Worksheet not found, and so on). In the Edit Links dialog box, Status is a column in the middle of the dialog box. Each link receives its own status.

From the New York Times
With regard to financial reform, the outcome of the November election seems straightforward. At the presidential level, the too-big-to-fail banks bet heavily on Mitt Romney and lost; President Obama received relatively few contributions from the financial sector, in contrast to 2008. In Senate races, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Sherrod Brown of Ohio demonstrated that it was possible to win not just without Wall Street money but against Wall Street money. Read More
