Fines won't fix Metro-North
Published 5:24 pm, Wednesday, June 4, 2014
You cannot put a price on a life.
There is no dollar figure that is commensurate with the value of the life of Robert Luden, a 27-year Metro-North employee who was struck by a train and killed in West Haven in May 2013 when a trainee controller apparently prematurely reopened the section of track Luden was working on.
Luden's estate is suing Metro-North for $30 million and even at that lofty rate we're certain his wife, two children and the rest of his family would far prefer to have their 52-year-old husband, father and son back.
So the $5,000 fine issued by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) against Metro-North as a result of the incident, yes, is laughably paltry. But in light of a lost life, so would be any amount.
U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal was in a lather about the size of the fine the other day during a Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation subcommittee hearing in Washington.
With the Luden matter as exhibit No. 1, Blumenthal said FRA's use of its power to fine railroads for safety violations "is a mockery of justice."
Blumenthal asserted the FRA could have fined Metro-North $105,000. And what purpose would that have served? Given the overall sorry state of Metro-North affairs, demands for fines seem more vengeful than fruitful.
Metro-North needs to have its feet held to the fire to improve just about every aspect of its operation and safety, most particularly.
The problems that plague Metro-North, the nation's busiest commuter rail line, are monumental. And they rest at the feet of no one person or agency.
Just for instance, the Norwalk rail bridge that stuck in an open position last week and caused massive delay, is 118 years old.
Decades of under-funding and diverting money from infrastructure improvements are showing up everywhere.
Rather than railing against the FRA for small fines, Blumenthal and other members of Congress. Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and anyone else with clout, should be fighting for substantive improvements: more safety training for Metro-North employees, more inspectors for the FRA, infrastructure improvements, upgraded safety technology, and so on.
FRA Administrator Joseph Szabo, who took the brunt of Blumenthal's fire, may have hit the nail on the head when he said "We can in fact try to improve safety every day. We had fewer accidents in 2012 than we did in 2011."
The deaths that have happened in Metro-North accidents are lasting tragedies.
Fines are not the answer for either the railroad, the families of the dead or for today's riders, who will ultimately bear their cost.
The answer is the full commitment, from Washington down to the workers in, say, the Stamford yard, to improving safety every day.

An accrediting agency that in the 1990s was considered a darling for academic conservatives faced not-so-friendly fire Tuesday from a panel that advises the Bush administration on whether accreditors are doing their jobs and carrying out the education secretary's standards.
Citing serious concerns about the American Academy for Liberal Education [1]'s failure to clearly define "acceptable levels of institutional success with respect to student achievement," based on both quantitative and qualitative external outcomes measures, the panel took the harsh step of essentially recommending a freeze on the AALE's ability to accredit new institutions until its petition for renewal is revisited at the next meeting of the National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity, in June.
What was missing from the AALE application for renewal was, a department staffer said, a quantifiable rubric for assessing student achievement at an institutional level -- a "bright-line indicator," if you will.
The advisory committee's staff had criticized the AALE on the accountability front but had recommended that the panel's members extend a standard five-year re-recognition of the agency, with the requirement that it submit an interim report. But the committee, which is being closely watched as higher education officials wonder how far it will go [2] in pushing Secretary Margaret Spellings' accountability agenda, went even further, originally proposing a much shorter, 18-month re-recognition before deferring the decision altogether.
The accrediting group has 10 days to file an intent to appeal the committee's recommendation that the Education Department refuse to acknowledge any institution newly accredited by AALE until the issue is broached at the June meeting – a move that would render AALE accreditation useless for an institution seeking to obtain access to federal financial aid funds. A similar recommendation passed along by NACIQI in 2005 was later rejected by the assistant secretary for postsecondary education, with the understanding that AALE would go up for renewal of its recognition shortly.
AALE's focus on the traditional, Western core curriculum was initially embraced by right-leaning academics and policy makers who opposed the movement to enhance multiculturalism in college curriculums, although its president said the organization has never had a political bent and features both prominent Republicans and Democrats among its leaders.
Established in 1992, it is charged with evaluating liberal arts curriculums based on a set of rigorous, classroom-based standards and, as of September, had accredited eight institutions and five programs in the United States, in addition to a handful abroad. Included in its range of members [3] are Thomas Aquinas College, in California, ranked among the Young America's Foundation's top 10 conservative colleges [4], St. John's College in Annapolis, an institution based around a "great books" curriculum, and a distance learning general education program at Anne Arundel Community College, in Maryland.
But AALE has most been in the news of late for its work abroad. A 2005 decision to accredit the American University for Humanities Tbilisi College Campus, in the Republic of Georgia, attracted a frenzy of speculation [5] in the early fall, when some observers questioned the college's ties to a now-defunct Hawaii university whose academic quality was questioned.
The irony of Tuesday's proceedings, as Jeffrey D. Wallin, president of AALE, told the committee, is that the accrediting agency was the leader in the accountability movement before the "a-word" became a buzzword.
Back in the late 1990s, the organization had initiated a system for external performance analyses of student work samples at its member institutions, but without the Education Department requiring similar steps of other accreditors, the system was doomed. The external reviews, requiring time and money from members, didn't fly even with those colleges that had signed up to participate, let alone with potential new members that could choose a different accrediting agency with a less rigorous approach for measuring student learning, Wallin said. "AALE at one time decided to do exactly what the committee wanted it to do. We decided that external standards should be required of all of our members. You know why we were stopped? We were stopped by the Department of Education."
But there might as well have been a table in the middle of the room that the two sides alternately turned Tuesday, as the committee members pointed the finger right back squarely at the accreditors sitting before them. George A. Pruitt, a NACIQI member and president of Thomas Edison State College, in New Jersey, wondered why the accrediting group insisted that it needed its own third-party process for measuring student achievement, suggesting that it simply needed a mechanism to evaluate institution-level measures.
And Arthur Keiser, a committee member and chair of the Keiser Collegiate System in Florida, said he was flabbergasted by what he characterized as the accrediting group's inability to exhibit the authority entrusted in it by the Department of Education to hold colleges and programs accountable. "For you to sit here and tell us you 'can't do it because we're going to lose our institutions' truly puts me in a position of questioning your administrative authority," Kaiser said. "You attempted something that to me seems exceptional and you dropped it because the institutions said it was too hard. Who says accreditation is easy?"
However, Wallin, who asked for the committee's help in identifying measures for assessing student learning without alienating his members, charged that NACIQI was holding the AALE to a higher standard than it was applying to its peers (a charge that officials at the Western Association of Schools and Colleges had made the day before, [2] and that several committee members, notably Pruitt, flatly denied). "We feel caught," Wallin said, between a desire for institutional autonomy and the requirements of the committee. "We're sympathetic to what the committee wants us to do. At the moment, we're frankly not sure what to do to address the reasonable question the committee has asked again and again in the past few days."
Wallin also pointed out a procedural irregularity, saying that Education Department staffers had told AALE officials in conversations earlier this year that the group was in compliance in regards to assessing student outcomes. Only during the Thanksgiving holiday did AALE hear otherwise.
Education Department staffers confirmed that to be accurate. Since initially approving the AALE's actions on its assessment of student achievement earlier in the year, "the national discussions have focused on measurable outcomes," said Steve Porcelli, a department official, shifting even the department's own perspective on what counts as sufficient and what does not.
Given the confusion, however, Pruitt suggested a motion be put in place to defer making a recommendation on re-recognition of AALE until the advisory committee's June meeting. The motion, advanced by the panel's vice chair, Geri H. Malandra, interim executive vice chancellor for academic affairs for the University of Texas System, called for significant limitations on AALE's actions in the meantime. It passed unanimously.

Vegan Nightmare and Other Melbourne VisionsPosted in Mixed Nuts, Photography Tricks on October 24th, 2008 by MadDog
I'm going to do a couple of back-to-back posts to show you some images that I captured in Melbourne in 2007. There is much in that fair city that appeals to my sense of whimsy. Melbourne, to me, seems simultaneously refined and edgy. That's a scrumptious recipe.
Speaking of yummy stuff, I call this one Vegan Nightmare:
The meat is oversaturated (pardon the pun). Vegetarianism, for which Veganism marks the ragged edge, amuses me. Not because I think that it's silly or overblown. I don't. Well, maybe a little overblown. Hey, we're omnivores, for pity's sake.
I wanted to keep the natural market-place colours at the top of the frame, while emphasizing the goriness of the carnage below. I have a couple of Vegan friends who are going to feel slightly nauseous when they see this shot.
And then there's the meatmonger. He put on quite a show. I think that he's probably a local attraction. He was vociferously informing all the world of the quality of Tan Dat Meat.
Okay, pardon the nudity. I know that I have a couple of sensitive readers, but hey, its art, right?
Probably the only thing interesting about this image – aside from which it is probably famous, but I don't remember any of that – is how I did it. Eunie and Val were pretending they didn't know me while furtively looking about for cops or concerned citizens (Oh, people are very concerned in Melbourne – mostly about having a good time.) I lay on my back on the sidewalk and fiddled with my camera until I was satisfied. There were grim looks from both of them when I stood and brushed off my pants. I particularly like the skull imbedded in the wing.
This one puts me in mind of the beautiful bronzes in front of the Honolulu Hilton.
The last one sneaks clumsily into the arena of Art as Social Commentary. If you please, click it to enlarge:
I nearly deleted this frame when I first examined it lightly. I hesitated, and then began to listen to it.
The two people in the foreground are looking away from each other. This creates a sort of anti-symmetry that sets up the story line. Trapped in the long angular space, depersonalized by the indignity of being herded, their spirits diminish. They become the Ghost Riders.
It was easy to find the primary colours in the image and accentuate them. It was easier still to select the flesh and dilute the saturation all the way down to monochrome.
To me, the image speaks of the down-sides of modern city life. However, I say with a wistful grin, that Melbourne is pretty much the last place about which I would complain. Nevertheless, it is a big city with all the comforts – and mindless distractions.
I'm happy to live in a place where life feels more visceral.

film rating:
Three Stars
Three-and-a-Half Stars
reviewed by:

Unless a viewer has a mindset in which the very thought of watching a relatively sympathetic movie about drug-dealing is unthinkable, "Blow" is a mostly agreeable tale of the rise and fall of real-life trafficker George Jung, who claims to have smuggled in about 85% of the Colombian cocaine used in the U.S. in the '70s and early '80s. The script by David McKenna and Nick Cassavetes, based on Bruce Porter's book, is credible and interesting, and Ted Demme's direction is lively if fairly straightforward. The one caveat is that nothing very surprising happens, which is a little odd, given the dramatic nature of George's adventures. Not only does the first-person narration indicate that George has survived and is now in jail, but there are no scenes in which anyone makes an unanticipated choice or events hinge on a strange turn of fate. Everything unfolds more or less as we might expect in a mixture that involves a non-violent American dealer, much tougher crime family associates and the inevitability of detection by law enforcement.
George (Johnny Depp) introduces himself to us via voiceover, then proceeds to show us his childhood in suburban Massachusetts, with his adored working-class father (Ray Liotta) constantly caving in before his cold, angry mother (Rachel Griffiths). George and best friend Tuna (Ethan Suplee) head for Southern California when they're old enough. The late '60s scene in Manhattan Beach – full of bikini-clad stewardesses cheerfully passing joints around – makes the duo think they've landed in heaven. It is Tuna who first proposes selling weed as a way to make money without getting real jobs, but it's George's girlfriend (Franka Potente, of "Run Lola Run") who puts them in touch with mid-level supplier Derek Foreal (Paul Reubens). George and Tuna turn out to be successful salesmen beyond their wildest dreams. George gets busted for dealing marijuana. A friendship in prison leads him into the "blow" trade and eventual contact with Colombian heavy-hitter Pablo Escobar (Cliff Curtis).
What is both good and bad about "Blow" is that the filmmakers keep it at a level where they seem to be telling a story that could happen to anyone who can't tell when a good thing is going bad. We identify with George, but Demme's matter-of-fact style makes his journey seem oddly mundane. When George forces himself to avoid much visible reaction to seeing a man shot in front of him, Depp's naturalism and the quiet of the ensuing scene tend to backfire a bit. We follow George's lead and don't let ourselves fully absorb it, so that it has no immediate emotional resonance – intellectually, of course, we understand we've witnessed a murder, but it doesn't feel as though some line has been irrevocably crossed. Even the wealth and trippiness of the cocaine culture never quite gets its due. George does acquire a fabulous house for awhile, but the place never takes on a personality of its own – it is just a backdrop, not something either lusted after before it's obtained or greatly missed once it's lost (by then, George has bigger things to worry about).
Depp gives a thoroughly fleshed-out performance as George – he takes us into his head as he contemplates each new move. Although he is at times visually hampered by the character's appearance – the blond hair never looks right on him and the middle-aged makeup for George's later years is more distracting than persuasive – Depp himself remains completely convincing. Potente is a charmer and Penelope Cruz as Jung's Colombian wife is capably both all-out sexy and an all-out bitch. Liotta conveys a gentle decency as George's father and Griffiths shows us the profound self-pity of George's mom. Reubens is simply terrific as the playfully campy yet pragmatic Foreal.
"Blow" is part of New Line's Infinifilm series, which means it comes with all sorts of pop-up special features that can be accessed on the Infinifilm track. Many of the features can be found in more than one place – if you don't opt to view the "character outtakes" (interview-style footage of the actors talking in-character) as solo items, they will also crop up as options as the Infinifilm version proceeds, as do deleted scenes and excerpts from director Demme's video "production diary." The fact subtitle track (which has to be enabled – it does not automatically accompany the Infinifilm version or the audio commentary, much less the regular version of "Blow") is pretty informative, providing a physiological and historical overview of cocaine – which countries used it in which centuries and for what reasons – among other things.
The audio commentary track by director Demme and the real Jung has some entertaining production anecdotes, although there are a lot of odd volume shifts and a few drop-outs on Jung's track (presumably because he's still incarcerated, he was recorded under less than acoustically ideal circumstances). Nikka Costa's music video "Push and Pull" is a pleasant two-channel ballad. What seems to be a sonic glitch when the song plays over the closing credits in Chapter 25 turns out to be a deliberate (if debatable) choice when heard in the context of the video.
The 5.1 soundtrack is pleasingly directional, although the effects tend to be more mood-setting than dramatic. Chapter 8 does have an impressive, quake-like rumble that surrounds the viewer in the sound system, just as on-screen law enforcement forces surround a house. Otherwise, the main effects are jets in the rears Chapters 3 and 8 and a forceful blast of Manfred Mann's rendition of "Blinded By the Light" in Chapter 12.
"Blow" is intriguing and well-acted. It works as a story of its times and as cautionary entertainment, but it doesn't manage to make us feel that George is a man whose acts in some way ostensibly shaped a generation. He comes across as merely a very successful dealer, not an agent of dangerous social change. On one level, this lack of self-importance is refreshing and makes George's experiences in "Blow" more universal, but on another level, we feel that we're not getting the full picture.

Sure, flame me, call me a nub, whatever. I've been working on the quest for the past 3 hours, and I constantly die sub 25%. I'm doing the tank one, as a 510+ prot paladin, and it's just infuriating. Whatever the ability is that does that frontal aoe never seems to actually go where the ground effects say. I can be 10 yards behind him, out of it, and still get hit. The last attempt I did was a 15% wipe. I was doing everything perfectly and got hit for 200k by that aoe and that was that. I don't have a problem with quests being hard, (Although I'm sure some of you will be all LOLOLOLEZMODEURBAD) I really enjoyed the legendary dagger questline in Cata and I felt like it made me improve as a rogue, and most of the time if I screwed up there it was frustrating but I could see that it was my fault. Here, I feel like I'm failing through really no fault of my own. I've tried adjusting my graphic settings, no dice. My ms is constantly under 100, and I'm well out of the zone before the damage lands and his cast ends.

Fontana-led charity threatens lawsuits
More Coverage
Related Stories
A charity headed by London Mayor Joe Fontana has threatened to sue The London Free Press and two city hall bloggers for recent stories and comments about the charity, Fontana and some of his connections.
All were served a "notice of intended action" under the Libel and Slander Act this week and a demand for apologies for "defamatory statements" and a correction of "misimpressions."
Besides The Free Press, the Toronto law firm for Trinity Global Support Foundation also targeted city hall bloggers Gina Barber and Phil McLeod for their London Civic Watch and The McLeod Report, respectively.
The two bloggers write extensively about city hall business. Barber is a former city politician and McLeod a former Free Press editor-in-chief.
It's unusual for bloggers to be served with such notices, legal observers say.
A clue about the move may be found in a recent comment Fontana recently posted on his mayoral website: "The local daily has been pricked by the summer musings of local bloggers who sit in cool basements."
In the notice sent to The Free Press, Trinity's lawyer objected to a July 24 article dealing with Fontana and Trinity, an article July 28 about Fontana's business associates and a July 31 editorial. The words complained of by Trinity's Toronto lawyer included nearly all those contained in the three articles.
At The Free Press, Sun Media lawyer Tycho Manson said: "We're confident that the articles in The Free Press are fully defensible and any legal proceedings will be defended vigorously."
Barber said she's seeking legal advice.
"The late women's rights advocate Nellie McClung once said: 'Never explain, never retract, never apologize. Just get the thing done and let them howl.' But those were probably less litigious times," Barber said. "So I am seeking legal advice and clarification on the exact nature of the concerns of Trinity Global Support Foundation with my blog 'Guilt by Association.' "
McLeod suggests the legal notice may discourage public comment.
"By their nature, libel suits do cause journalists to be very careful about what they subsequently report -- not that this is necessarily a bad thing. But if the effect is to force someone to back off a story in fear further reportage might bring court action against an opponent with deep pockets, this is a serious consequence for democracy."
In The Free Press story detailing his ties to the charity and its founder Vincent Ciccone, Fontana said: "I sit on a lot of boards and I know an awful lot of people."
He is chairperson of Trinity Global and his son Ugo Joseph, usually called Joe Jr., is president.
The Free Press reported how the senior Fontana was approached in 2008 to join the registered charity founded a year earlier by his boyhood chum Ciccone. The charity raises funds to feed schoolchildren in Canada and to fight AIDS/HIV in Africa.
Ciccone stepped down after he was charged with fraud and other counts by the Ontario Securities Commission relating to $19 million invested in his Ciccone Group investment firm. A hearing is scheduled for September.
In late 2011, with Fontana at the helm of Trinity, the charity entered a partnership with Global Learning Group, a donation program labelled a "sham" by the Canada Revenue Agency, which rejected tax receipts Global issued.
The Free Press also recounted Fontana's connection to Todd Gillick, financial chair of Fontana's 2010 mayoral campaign, who was appointed to the mayor's economic prosperity council and who was fined by the Mutual Fund Dealers Association.
His business ties with Robert Vanier were also recounted along with Vanier's criminal record under another name and allegations of misappropriating money through Onco Petroleum.

The game has been scheduled as part of a single-admission doubleheader on Thursday, starting at 12:10 pm.
In other words, a traditional doubleheader, and a very nice gesture by the Mets.
Starting Lineup
- Jose Reyes – ss
- Daniel Murphy – 2b
- David Wright – 3b
- Carlos Beltran – rf
- Ike Davis – 1b
- Angel Pagan – cf
- Willie Harris – lf
- Josh Thole – c
- Jon Niese – p
Terry Collins said that Daniel Murphy is at second base because of how well he played last night. This could be something to watch.

Game Preview
The Mets are on a slide right now, and they will look to Jon Niese to pull the team up. Last night the Mets and the Rockies went back and forth and then sadly the bats couldn't squeeze another run out and the bullpen couldn't stop the bleeding. Jon Niese is coming off of a bad game after a great game. He is now 0-1 on the season with a 6.55 ERA over 11 innings pitched. Last season he faced the Rockies twice, pitching 12 innings while posting 4.50 ERA. Over those 12 innings he walked only one batter while striking out 9. The Rockies have these numbers on Jon:
Helton 4-10, 2 2B
Tulowitzki 2-7
Fowler 1-6
Iannetta 2-5
Gonzalez 0-3
The Mets batters will deal with Esmil Rogers tonight, who allowed one earned run in 7.1 innings of work in his first start of the season. Last season he was 2-3 over 72.0 innings of work while posting a 6.13 ERA. Last season he pitched in relief for three innings over two games against the Mets allowing one earned run. The Mets have the following numbers on Rogers:
Wright 0-0, 2 BB
Reyes 1-1
Pagan 1-1
Let's Go Mets!

Do calories count, or not?
According to Marion Nestle (author of Why Calories Count) and thousands of other self-appointed experts in fat tissue metabolism, the answer is an unambiguous "YES!" that's as impassioned as any "HALLELUJAH!" you'll hear in a fire-n-brimstone church.
No matter how many times we Calorie Deniers point out that the gospel of calories flows from a simple, logical error — the confusing of cause and effect with respect to the applicability of the First Law of Thermodynamics to fat tissue regulation — nothing changes. It's as if the Calories Count crowd literally cannot understand us.
The unwavering fixation on calories, as enshrined in the dogma of "just eat less and move more," seems impervious to any counterevidence or counterargument.
As one of the world's most respected skeptical doctors once wrote to me in an email: "I'm not skeptical of calorie counting because I've seen it work for my dog."
Excuse me. WTF times 100?
So if I eat like your dog, will I, too, grow a tail and start barking at the mailman?
Head. Slam. On. Desk.
Let me reiterate: that retort came from one of the world's most respected professional skeptics, not from some brainless internet troll.
That brings me to this manifesto. Below, I provide 9 pieces of pictorial evidence that should convince anyone with a working brain to acknowledge the actual truth about fat loss and obesity: namely, that our preoccupation with calories is AT BEST an oversimplification, and an inaccurate and morally mean one at that.
1. Insulin-injection-induced fat belly
This Type 1 diabetic injected insulin for 31 years in the same location, leading to what the New England Journal of Medicine called "insulin lipohypertrophy." In layman's speak, that's insulin-induced fat tissue growth. Did "overeating" — a "positive calorie balance" — cause this big lump of fat?
Obviously, no.
Obviously, the insulin injections changed how this guy's body partitioned fuel into fat. Gluttony or lack-of-portion-control didn't cause this problem, and a few extra laps on the treadmill wouldn't fix it.
2. Obese baby afflicted with Cushing's Syndrome
Cushing's Syndrome is an awful disease that you can read more about here. One of the side effects is fat tissue growth — a.k.a. obesity.
Do you really think that the disease made this baby fat by forcing him to "overeat" milk or formula? Would the solution be to starve him and put him on a treadmill?
3. Sam Feltham's remarkable overeating experiment
Smash The Fat's Sam Feltham recently completed what he called the 21 Day 5000 Calorie Challenge, where he purposefully forced himself to consume ~5700 calories a day of low carb/high fat food. That was roughly ~2700 more calories than he had been eating at baseline, before the experiment. If the "calorie math" actually worked, he should have gained ~16 kgs. Instead, he gained less than 2 kgs AND dropped his waist size.
So much for gluttony — even forced gluttony! — as a possible cause of obesity.
Sam's an awesome guy, btw, and we just did a "podcast swap." I'll be publishing my interview with him in early July.
4. Progressive lipodystrophy
Did this woman become emaciated up top because she didn't eat enough?
Did she become obese below because she ate too much?
Should she eat less and exercise more to lose fat below the waist… or eat more and move less to gain some fat above her waist? Or both at the same time, somehow?
Hold on. Brain exploding!
5. HIV medication makes people obese and emaciated at the same time!
According to this article, ARV therapy for HIV patients can lead to obesity AND emaciation AT THE SAME TIME.
Mind = blown. Right?
Here are some of the symptoms. I've added the bolding and underlining and asterisks, so the point is clear.
"Main Symptoms
!!!****Fat atrophy****!!!
• face (sunken cheeks, temple hollowness, sunken eyes,
prominent zygomatic arch)
• arms and legs (prominent veins, skinny appearance)
• buttocks (loss of contour, loose skin folds)
!!!***Fat accumulation***!!
• ****!!!!abdomen (increased abdominal girth due to visceralfat accumulation****!!!!!)Related symptoms
• dorsocervical ('buffalo hump')
• breast enlargement
• hypertriglyceridaemia
• hypercholesterolaemia
• abnormal insulin resistance or glucose tolerance or
new onset of diabetes mellitus
• elevated C-peptide
Let me repeat that. This course of HIV medication apparently causes people to become OBESE AND EMACIATED AT THE SAME TIME.
Trying to apply the calorie counting logic to this kind of obesity is like dividing by zero.
6. Low carb diets curing both obesity… and anorexia!
Most people know that low carb diets, like Atkins, can be used to treat obesity.
But did you know that low carb has been able to treat anorexia, too? No kidding.
In their book, Life Without Bread, German doctors Allan and Lutz describe how they successfully treated anorexics with a low carbohydrate diet. Here's the money quote:
"The low carbohydrate program augments the anabolic processes that contribute to increased body mass… over a long period of time, they [i.e. anorexics] will eventually reach a larger body mass compared to when they began the low-carbohydrate program. The new weight, however, will be in all the right places." P. 144 Life Without Bread
So somehow, a low carbohydrate diet can help an anorexic man gain fat in "all the right places" AND help an overweight woman lose fat "in all the right places."
Two possibilities:
a) low carb diets are magical
b) fat tissue health (and size!) can be mightily influenced by the QUALITY of food eaten
I'm putting my money on (b).
7. Obesity and Malnutrition are often found together.
From the Abstract for this article, Obesity and Malnutrition in a Shantytown Population in the City of São Paulo, Brazil,(published in the journal Obesity in 2012): "To investigate the prevalence of obesity and malnutrition in the poor Brazilian population we conducted a survey on the socioeconomic and nutritional status of 535 families (comprising 2 411 individuals) living in shanty towns in the city of São Paulo. There was a 30% prevalence of malnutrition in the children, with chronic malnutrition as the most predominant problem. The prevalence of obesity was 6.4% in boys and 8.7% in girls."
Okay, so in a population that barely gets enough to eat, we see obesity AND malnutrition occurring at the same time. Think about how amazing that is — how much it conflicts with our basic assumption that Americans get fat because we have too much yummy food.
Are we to believe that the people in this shantytown have access to yummier food than, say, the affluent, healthy, non-obese, non-malnourished populations in the Mediterranean and Japan do?
Are we to assume that, somehow, the malnourished cohort in this society passively allows the obese cohort to eat more than their fair share, while they starve?
That doesn't make any sense. Put on your thinking cap, Marion Nestle & co!
It's not about the "yummyness" of the food we eat or how much we eat.
It's about the FAT TISSUE. It's about what messes the fat tissue up (e.g. unhealthy processed foods, consumed chronically).
8. There's no such thing as a "calorie receptor" in the human body.
Here's diagram of a fat cell – a.k.a. an "adipocyte."
Do you see any "calorie receptors" on it?
No? Neither do I.
So how in Hades are "calories" supposed to make us fat, biochemically?
Oops. There is no answer that makes any sense. And I've asked many a Calorie Wizard this question. Never gotten an answer that's even made half a lick of sense.
9. 2nd Law of Thermodynamics ALSO applies to the human body.
Per Richard Feinman and Eugene Fine: "The second law of thermodynamics says that variation of efficiency for different metabolic pathways is to be expected. Thus, ironically the dictum that a "calorie is a calorie" violates the second law of thermodynamics, as a matter of principle."
See their full paper here.
If body processes different calories differently, howzabout we stop giving all people one-size-fits-all advice to deal with weight control issues? Just a thought.
In Summary – It's Not That Complicated, People
Calories do not count on a boat.
They do not count with a goat.
They do not count in the rain.
They do not count on a train.
Not in the dark! Not in a tree!
Not in a car! So shut up about calories already!
They do not count in a box.
They do not count with a fox.
They do not count in a house.
They do not count with a mouse.
They do not count here or there.
They do not count ANYWHERE!
The Calorie Counting mentality:
- Is mean, in that it blames obese people for being gluttonous sloths who care more about pound cake than about their health.
- Is wrong (see above).
- Is the beating black heart of all the B.S. that has made our nation (and world) fat and sick and sad — and has kept it that way.
Join with me and with the growing legion of Calorie Skeptics around the globe to free as many people as possible from the nonsensical calorie delusion. We just need 10% of the population. Then the Othello board can flip, and we can finally have a sensible conversation about the true causes (and possible cures) for obesity and the hundreds of chronic diseases associated with it.
!Viva La Revolucion!

BlackWarGreymon is a Dragon Man Digimon. Feared as the "Jet-black Dragon Warrior", it is a Virus-species WarGreymon. Although its creed and principles are the polar opposite of those of the Virus Buster WarGreymon, it exists for the sake of its own peculiar justice. It detests cowardice and foul play, and it doesn't consider itself a fellow of vulgar Digimon, even if they are of the same Virus-species. The full details of how it converted to a Virus are a mystery, and the "Brave Shield" equipped to its back is not engraved with the Crest of Courage.[7]

We were already downstairs when we heard the car pull up. My husband took a seat in the back of the room. As they came down the stairs I could see the flush fill her cheeks.
I walked over to her, took her bag, and lead her into the room. Her husband followed behind, looking a bit cautious.
"It is going to be ok. I promise you will enjoy this. Both of you."
I asked him to undress to his boxers and take a seat next to my husband. He obliged. There they were. Our audience. Already buzzing with anticipation.
I turned to her. She was fidgeting with her hair and trying to act natural. She wasn't sure what tonight would bring, what I could show her.
"Lets get you settled now."
I slid her shirt up over her head. Kissed her neck. I walked around her and kissed the nape, the shoulder, the hollow. Lovely thing. As my hand circled her, I undid the clasp on her bra. She wiggled and let it fall to the floor. She had amazing breasts. Full and large on her small frame. I couldn't wait to see them with her arms above her head. I grabbed my cuffs and restrained her wrists. Her heart started pounding and a smile crossed her face.
"This is the part you were looking forward to?"
"Oh yes."
With a laugh I let her know this was merely the set up. I loved that I was privileged to give this to her.
"Good. You are easy to please then."
I hooked her cuffs to the ceiling. There she stood, arms over head, those gorgeous breasts exposed and lifted. I unbuttoned her jeans and slid them down over her hips. Her black lace boyshorts hugged her curves. I love black lace. I turned her to face the men.
"Look how beautiful your wife looks."
The husbands just nodded. Visibly excited and shifting a bit in their seats. They mirrored each other with their broad shoulders and dark hair. I was glad they were enjoying the show so far.
I ran my hands down her sides as I stood behind her. I pulled her ass to my hips and trailed my hands down her thighs, pushing them open until her feet spread. I ran my fingertips under her breasts and her skin prickled. I bit her neck again and trailed kisses down her spine. I let my hands and lips wander along her breasts, her abdomen, the small of her back. I raked my nails up her spread thighs. I loved having access to all sides of her. I could tell she was enjoying herself by the shallow breaths and responsive skin even though she was quiet and still half dressed.
I motioned to her husband to come over to us.
"I'd like you to follow what I say. Can you do that?"
"I believe so."
"Ok. Good. Kneel in front of her."
As he dropped to his knees, so did I behind her. I grabbed her rosy ass with both hands and kissed the dimples in her back. I took those black lace panties in my teeth and tugged, pulling them down to the ground and slipping them off her feet. Now she was fully undressed and presented to her husband.
"Lick your wife. Do not touch her. Use only your mouth. Slowly."
I spread her legs as wide as the suspension would allow. She was soaked and starting to squirm. Her husband bent down and trailed his tongue over her clit. She was grateful for stimulation finally. She groaned and leaned her hips into his face. I pulled her hips back into position.
"Try to stay still."
He continued to work her clit. Passing his tongue over her labia. Dipping it in and out. Toying with her clit. She was swollen and wet and ready but it wasn't time yet. I let him continue and walked over to my patiently awaiting husband. I kissed him and ran my fingers over the prominent ridge I could feel through his boxers. They were starting to get wet as his erection continued.
"Are you enjoying the show?"
"Of course."
"Your turn is coming. What toys would you like to see her get fucked with?"
He grabbed my blue Cush and sent me on my work. Good choice. The Cush is big, but not too big. It would fill her nicely. Then he handed me a small black plug. I knew my guest had never experimented with anal play, so I raised my eyebrow in surprise.
"Trust me." he said.
I took both toys back to my lovely plaything, grabbing my blindfold on the way. I covered her eyes. I wanted her to experience the sensations as they came, not as she expected them. I pulled out the coconut oil and lubed up the plug. As I ran several lubed fingers over her ass, she gasped. Her husband had to chase her with his mouth as she leaned back into me.
"Ah. Ah. Stay still."
I watched her husband gingerly kiss and suck and my heart raced. She was pink and swollen and begging and I wasn't far behind. My own lacy panties were soaked. My own clit throbbing. It was an amazing thrill showing her my world. A world of toys and tension and play.
I ran the plug between her cheeks and nudged it inside. Her back arched allowing me to slide it into her ass.
"Keep licking her. She will relax" I instructed.
She was mere breaths away from coming. The sensation of the plug filling her ass was foreign and overwhelming. So full, so OPEN. Now drips were trailing down the inside of her thighs. I didn't need the lube for the Cush. I eased it into her cunt and she cried out. Slowly, I fucked her, matching her husband's languid licks. She moaned and rocked on the toy. She was stuffed. Her limits stretched farther than they had been. She came with a rough shudder, and arched back, and a stifled yell. The flush filling her chest and every hair on her body stood on end.
I motioned for her husband to return to his seat. Reaching up, I unhooked the cuffs and removed the blindfold. I kissed her swollen mouth and removed the plug.
"How ya doing?"
She just kissed me back. I held her hand and took her to the men. We both fell to our knees in front of our husbands. I pulled back my husbands boxers and slid them down his hips. His cock was expectant. My guest did the same. God, it was an amazing sight. These two, sexy men, waiting for us. I licked his cock from the base to tip, tasting his salty expectations. She followed suit and soon we were both sucking and stroking and licking. I turned to kiss her and undid my bra. Bare breast brushing against each other. It is such as different feeling than a man. Something I never thought would be such a turn on, but here I was. Enwrapped.
We both turned to her husband. 4 hands, 2 mouths, 2 tongues. Wrapping around him. Taking turns running tasting him; kissing each other; tasting him in her mouth. My husband got out of his seat and came up behind me. His fingers found my cunt and finally gave me the stimulation I needed. I rocked back on his hand as fingers dipped in and out, circling my clit, filing me up. I was so close but didn't want to come just yet. The tension was too delicious.
"I'll be right back."
I stood to leave and my lovely guest took both men into her hands. She traded them back and forth into her mouth. I knew they were in good hands for a second.
I grabbed my harness and Fuze. I put a vibrator into the toy. I was ready. I had never fucked a woman before. I was very much looking forward to the experience.
When I returned to them, my husbands adept hands had moved on to her clit. Her husband was kissing her breasts. I followed suit, taking her nipple into my mouth and drawing. My tongue teasing her. I turned her over, on her knees in front of her husband. She continued to go down on him and I turned on my vibrator. I slowly slid the toy into her. Fucking her softly and slowly as she sucked her husband's cock. It was a luscious sight and was so appreciated by my husband, he came behind me and slid his cock into me. He fucked me and his thrusts translated into my thrusts into her. I was pressed between them. He held me into her, being sure the vibrator was driving me crazy. He pulled out and drove back in. He grabbed my hips and fucked. Hard, deep, rhythmic, penetrating movements. Within moments, she let out orgasmic moans muffled by the cock in her mouth. I was quick to follow, being fucked against a beautiful woman becoming too much for me to hold out. I screamed and my husband kissed me, sucking the breath right out of me. I pulled out of her and climbed on top of my husband. She stood and sat on her husband's lap, riding him until he came. Breathless and stunned. I settled on my husband's cock. Bouncing my ass on his dick. Drawing it back in quick strokes. He moaned and twitched and came inside me.
The four of us collapsed, sweaty, flushed, and content.
"So, what are you guys doing next weekend?"
If only he'd said yes…
We were already downstairs when we heard the car pull up. My husband took a seat in the back of the room. As they came down the stairs I could see the flush fill her cheeks.

Today marks my first night in my own room! I can't believe it! It actually feels like I went and got a new apartment (not that I've actually ever done that but I think this is how it would feel). I have candles everywhere - stuff in boxes, a mismatch of art on the wall, a bed that needs new linens, and a couple of days of clothes unpacked. I have a lot to do to make my "suite" my own. I'm actually getting a bit excited!
Here's the backstory:
I was previously married to a poly-interested, very sexually repressed, and sadly, quite crazy (yes, actually diagnosed) man, whom I'll call BeautifulMind (because yes, he's just like the guy in the movie). Well, eventually his issues posed a safety concern for me and the kiddies - and we divorced. I loved the man, but we were all suffering. His issues eventually led to him losing custody of the kids. He can see them if I allow it but he has been stripped of the ability to make any decisions for them. It's a sad situation - and an emotionally/financially costly one too. I have two super middle school aged kiddos from that marriage - ScienceGuy and AthleteGirl. At the end of my marriage to BeautifulMind, I met PipedPiper....who swepped me off my feet. He made my tummy do flipflops like I had never experienced. During our first sexual experience I actually asked him what we were doing! hahahaha It was just such a different experience than I had ever known. I was numb everywhere and I had the biggest grin I had ever seen on my very red with joy, face. But having been forced to consider a poly lifestyle with BeautifulMind and turned it down outright, I refused to be asked to be "shared" again. PipedPiper promised he would never, ever share me. Boy was he wrong.
Admittedly, PipedPiper confessed that he had cheated on every woman he had ever been with - but after a broken engagement due to such behavior, he swore he had changed. WRONG. About 7 months into our marriage, he asked to become involved with a woman (Marathon) he had previously dated. I was a bit turned on by the possibility so I agreed. It led to a 5 month serious dating situation. She and I started emailing and IMing - eventually we met (we lived in different states) and hit it off....emotionally and sexually. I am typicaly not at all attracted to women but she was the right combination of controlling and smart - so I was attracted to her anyway. I found that I was enormously turned on by watching her and Piped Piper have sex. Our threesomes were, well, simply put, they were amazing...best sex I've ever had. Unfortunately, she had a darkside and that relationship ended. I found out that her and PipedPiper had been sleeping together right before our wedding. I have never recovered from that information. It makes our wedding such a joke. She wanted him to divorce me, he refused, she left, 'nuff said. 3 years goes by. I needed a loooonnnggg time to recover. I was so angry and hurt.
Finally I told Piped Piper that I'm ready to let him try again. Things were good between us and I felt better. Enter Ant. She was young, beautiful, and very innocent. He appeared to be honest with her and liked her a lot. But she was too young for this life. 10 years our junior, she was terrified to fall for him or to meet me. We tried like 5 or 6 times and each time, the sky would fall, she wouldn't show, and the cycle would begin again. Eventually, she had a terrible accident and so far, has spent 14 months in the hospital recovering. Go figure - it happened the night I said, "forget it, I can't keep trying to do this - this is rediculous." But who bails on a girl in crisis? So he continued to try. But we had a trajedy of our own. Our family became very sick - PipedPiper and I lost one of our daughters (Butterfly) and the other spent 6 months in intensive care (Pea). I was hospitalized for a couple of weeks and he was treated outpatient. But it took an enormous toll on us both. Eventually, Ant and PipedPiper couldn't keep it going. She was in a hospital 3 hours away and becoming more and more depressed (not surprising) but with his own woes, it was just too much to continue.
3 months pass - and PipedPiper decides to date her sister, Colada. <sigh> Really? her sister? <sigh again> Well, Colada is older, better educated, more career minded, stronger....blah blah blah. As far as I can tell, she's just as commitment-phobic as her sister so it won't work either. Nonetheless, it's been 5 months now and they're in wuv. But she won't meet me either. And I mean, kicking, screaming, hysterical crying afraid to meet me. <sigh again and again> He says she's worth it - I coulnd't tell you - and at this point, I'm not sure I care. We've tried to connect over email but it's been sporatic, at best and agonizingly shallow. So basically, it's not doing anything for me. But he likes her and wants to make her comfortable. So I said forget it - make her your primary. I'm out.
Enter today. I've moved downstairs. We have two master suites in the house so I moved into the spare one. I've decided to take some time to spend with myself because I need a B-R-E-A-K! We just celebrated the girls' birthdays and it was very difficult missing one. I miss Butterfly so much it hurts sometimes. I resent PipedPiper for making me face, yet another, drama in the face of dealing with the children. But he's not going to change and I love my kiddies way too much to leave him so here we are - stuck. For better, for worse, I suppose.
But I've turned into a sniveling, sad, depressed, mess of a woman who begs for attention - who is that?! I don't BEG. or do I? Apparently I do. Well, no more. I need to reconnect with me and figure myself out before I can even consider how deal with Piper's poly "needs". And Colada? oh who knows...I have no idea how to deal with her, or even if I need to.
So I started this blog in order to record my thoughts and my journey. I've asked for 30 days of space. We'll see how it all unfolds. For now, I'm treated like the secondary - sorta. We use condoms, they don't. She gets first choice of time but I get all the responsibility (his moods, his needs, his work, etc). Enough! If she's going to be primary, then the responsibility comes with it! I'd like to just be the fun one - the one with energy, personal space, and only work to worry about. (well, except that I adore my children so I enjoy that privelege)
I don't know how I'll feel in 30 days...but I do know I should learn a thing or two. We'll see if I really like the idea of being second -- or not?
Mono wife to husband (Pied Piper) and his GF (Colada)

Shoulder Position At Impact
In this tip, I explain where the shoulders should be by the time the club is making contact with the golf ball. In most people that I teach, their shoulders are square or even closed to the golf ball. But the majority of tour payers are in an open position, this is because they are firing their body, not hitting with their arms. Since your arms can move so much faster then your body it is impossible for your body to catch up if your arms go first.
This is why it is so critical for your body to start the downswing. If not then your arms will hit the ball and your shoulders will end up square or closed to the ball. Sometimes people try to work on stretching the arms out and not realize that this has to be combined with the shoulders open to the ball at contact. Try this the next time you gol out and practice and you will see the improvement in contact.

Jacobs & Brichford "Adair"
You know you're in for something great when you bite into a piece of ice cold cheese (because you couldn't wait for it to come up to room temperature) and that cheese, despite its muted flavors, still bursts with flavors of salted cream, butter, and mushrooms. Meet Connersville, Indiana-based Jacobs & Brichford's "Adair."
The family cheese operation first got on my radar as it did many others' at the American Cheese Society conference in Raleigh in 2012. There, the farming-cheesemaking family was sampling their goldenrod-colored creamy washed-rind beauty called Ameribella. If I'd had my own spoon, whatever remained of the Ameribella would have landed in my mouth and mine only. It was that good.
Fast-forward to the American Cheese Society conference held in Providence, Rhode Island in August 2015, and this time I knew to make a beeline for the Jacobs & Brichford cheeses. What I did not know was that their newest cheese called Adair would stop me dead in my tracks. Truth be told, all their cheeses did. My hastily-written notes about their Alpine-style cheese called Everton had no shortage of exclamation points either.
Matthew Brichford, the farmer/cheesemaker/father member of the Jacobs & Brichford team, says the inspiration for Adair was a cheese research trip to the Savoie region of France and that region's heralded Reblochon cheese. That pungent washed-rind cheese is unavailable in the United States because of our law mandating an aging period of at least 60 days for a raw milk cheese. Reblochon is typically aged about 54 days. Close but not close enough according to the FDA. Luckily for cheese lovers, a cheese made closer to home can spend those extra few days on the aging shelf before having to be shipped. In turn, this means a raw milk cheese can be made using Old World techniques and still meet our government standards.
All the Jacobs & Brichford cheeses are made with the raw milk that comes from their pasture-grazed and 100-percent grass-fed cows (read: zero grain). The cows themselves are Tarentaise, Normande, and Jersey crossbreeds, the milk from which is prized for its high butterfat and protein. In combination with the grass-based diet, the milk transforms into a cheese whose interior (called the paste) is preternaturally golden in color.
As a washed-rind cheese, Adair is partly dependent on so called b. linens (salt-loving bacteria) to create the more assertive flavors and pinkish color of the rind. Brichford explains that he doesn't have to add any during the make process of Adair because their milk as well as the aging room abounds in natural b. linens. It probably doesn't hurt that the cheese is aged in the same room as Ameribella, which is in the same family of b. linen-developed washed-rind cheeses.
In addition to the beneficial bacteria, Adair is exposed to geotrichum yeast and penicillium Candidum mold by way of a brine bath. The latter not only results in a fine white dusting of mold on the surface of the cheese but the combination of the two also helps to ripen as well as bring about various flavor components in the cheese.
The 1.5-pound wheel generously sent to me by Matthew and his wife, company marketing chief, Leslie Jacobs, is the smaller of the two sizes Matthew makes. The larger wheel is closer to about 4 pounds.
When I first unwrapped the cheese (this time at room temperature), I got a heady scent of mushrooms, which for me is the cheese equivalent of catnip. There was also an expected funky aroma – expected because that's what most washed-rind cheeses will emit – but it was tamped down and oddly satisfying.
Cutting into the cheese was akin to slicing a piece of dense fudge, and the mouthfeel is not much different. Adair is creamy, almost thick, in the mouth. The rind is a bit tacky to the touch and has compelling micro-crystals that crunch with each bite. Washed-rind cheeses tend to be saltier than most other cheeses – after all, they're washed with salt – and Adair is no exception. But the cheese is beautifully balanced by mushroomy, meaty flavors and a slightly sour but entirely pleasant finish.
Because Adair is newer in the Jacobs & Brichford repertoire, word is just getting out about it. That means that while you might have a little trouble finding it now, I'm guessing it won't take long before it starts showing up on shelves at your favorite cheese shop. Or at least, let's hope that will be the case. This is one great cheese.

RadioShack and Toys R Us Holiday Foursquare Badges and Deals
This year it seems like we as consumers have been placed right in the middle of a digital battle of epic proportions between retailers and our wallets. This is likely due to the economic problems impacting merchants and all of the new digital communication mediums that companies can add to their marketing mix. From a location standpoint, Foursquare is certainly the overwhelming favorite and many retailers from the national level down to the local independant shop are lining up promos to lure people into their stores to spend money this holiday season. Two notable national campaigns have recently rolled out and will feature not only savings, but new badges as well: RadioShack and Toys R Us.
Long time electronics retailer RadioShack is ramping up their holiday marketing efforts under a new marketing initiative called Be A Holiday Hero which turns ordinary shoppers into superheroes after they give the perfect gift this season. To unlock the new Holiday Hero RadioShack Foursquare badge you need to follow RadioShack then check into two different "holiday hero hot-spots" before checking in at a RadioShack store. What is a holiday hero hot-spot? Well, this is the part where they tie in their new marketing campaign with the Foursquare badge. You need to visit a gym (where superheroes work out) or a coffee shop (where superheroes refuel their powers) or a travel location (how superheroes speed around the country). These are category based venues and do not need a branded tip to qualify. Once you visit the RadioShack location you will be awarded the new badge and will receive a 10% discount for checking in, a 15% discount if you are the mayor, and a 20% discount when you unlock the badge!
I've been a Toys R Us kid my whole life so this badge is a lot of fun for me personally. Earning the Toys"R"Us Geoffrey the Giraffe holiday badge is a little simpler as it does not require you to follow them on Foursquare and only takes one check-in at a Toys R Us store to unlock it (starting at 9:30pm on Thanksgiving night). Both this and the RadioShack badge should be available through the holiday season at the end of December. In conjunction with this new badge, they are running a check-in promotion to kick off the infamous "Black Friday" shopping day. Toys R Us will open at 9:30pm local time on Thanksgiving and will be rewarding the first 3,000 shoppers who check-in on either Facebook Places, Yelp, or Foursquare a coupon for 15% off an in-store purchase of $150 or more.
Good luck out there folks. This holiday season will be intense as companies fight for your dollars. Hope y'all have a safe and happy holiday!

Pittsburgh trends the wrong way in its failed planning
Urban density looks like this.
Too often, the trend among Pittsburgh's planning efforts is to take the urban elements out of the city. Those in charge are trying to turn Pittsburgh into a suburban landscape, not an urban one. They have been trying to make Pittsburgh something that it isn't. And, they have been failing.
The URA was fine with the building of the research park on Second Avenue. But, it was a research park that could have been in any rural or beltway city. It was not built with any density in mind. It was not built with a face to the river. It was built with a need for parking garages and without any mixed uses.
We need to do much better.
Downtown has seen many of its buildings torn down. We have 'green space' where there used to be high-rises. If you thin downtown enough, we'll all be able to park on the streets -- as there won't be anyone here.

Efkin is a Braey elf who has just taken his position on the council of Lords. He is charged with the task of seeking the Sylvan Horn that sang the world into existence. Now he will tackle frightening beings, dragons and all manner of evil to obtain the horn and break the runes that threaten to destroy the world. He dreams of the forest, he sees the pale being no-one else seems to see, and he is the one who was given the pendant from the High Priestess. On his adventure Efkin discovers his true nature and the reason it must be he who saves the world.
Efkin meets many beings along the way, but who can Efkin trust? The men who have shown they use dark magic and cruelty? The pale being who seems to know his fate? The dwarves? The Knights? The Wizard King? And how can the Trolls have used the sorcery when they are so unintelligent?

(KCEN) -- Whooping cough is on the rise in Texas.
State health officials say the number of people affected is on track to reach the highest level in more than 50 years.
The Texas Department of State Health Services is urging people to make sure they are vaccinated against the highly contagious disease.
There have been almost 2,000 cases reported this year.
Two infants died, both were too young to be vaccinated.
Whooping cough spreads easily through the air when an infected person breathes, coughs or sneezes.
While infants are most at risk, people of all ages can get whooping cough.

I had written it off as "not for me" and happily continued using Tremor... (which is pretty awesome, but I digress) but this demo. It made me realize that DSI got it all wrong. The stuff out there too tame. Call me crazy, but too drum synth like. What seems to be the best and most well thought out part of the Tempest is it's sound engine which seems to be really good for doing odd and interesting synth sounds with tonality. The standard drum sounds are "meh" IMO. I can see why they gave it a negative review though, as with so many basic functions missing at release, it would be hard to overlook it. You can't say you're building the text generation of drum machine and then miss out on things like MIDI sync without getting knocks form reviewers.

How the Show Works
Here's the concept: Everyone gets one vote. But you can earn more.
If you've got a smart-phone or tablet (either iOS or Android) you can get the app.
If not, don't sweat it - you can play along online.
Simply create an account and start earning those votes!
During the week, we'll be posting daily, vote-earning challenges. The more challenges you complete, the more votes you can earn. On Sunday nights you can play along with the show and earn even more votes.
If you're not into all of that, there's a phone vote too.
But that's not all.
The Wizard of Oz was a major breakthrough in cinematic special effects.
And we want to live up to that legacy - Over the Rainbow is a major breakthrough in interactive television.
Here's how.
For the first time ever, you'll have control over what you see on TV.
During the live show and just before the end of a Dorothy's performance, you'll see a magic crystal ball on your device. Rate that Dorothy's performance and the more you like it, the more the ball will glow and light up on TV.
It's a little bit of magic to get you into the picture.
Don't get it? Don't believe us?
Join us on Sunday nights- and you too can be a part of TV history.
Andrew Lloyd Webber's production of The Wizard of Oz is coming to the Ed Mirvish Theatre, in Toronto. But who will play Dorothy?
This is the nation-wide search for a star.
On Sunday nights, starting with ten Dorothy's, we'll put on a live show from CBC studios.
We'll ask the Canadian public to vote for their favourite, and on Mondays, the two contestants with the least votes will battle it out in a sing-off. The judges will save one, and send one home.
Andrew Lloyd Webber expects that the role of Dorothy will change somebody's life. Our journey started the first week of June, with regional auditions across the country.
But that's not all, we're looking for a Toto, too!

The United States should work with the United Nations to improve conditions for the Burmese people.
By BOB GRAHAM, former U.S. senator
Published December 12, 2007
Ask an American what he or she knows about the nation of Myanmar, and you are likely to receive a blank stare in return. Most of us know little about the geographically largest country in Southeast Asia.
But that may soon change, and in dramatic fashion. At a time when neighbors like India, Thailand and Vietnam are joining the global community and realizing increased economic growth and political freedom, Myanmar (formerly known as Burma) has not moved beyond the isolation, extreme poverty and human rights abuses that have gripped it for the last half century. This dangerous mix could easily produce an explosive upheaval not seen in Southeast Asia for decades.
In October, I visited Myanmar for the first time. Nearly 20 years ago, the ruling military junta renamed the nation - a designation that Burmese opposition groups and some foreign governments do not recognize.
The signs of trouble were evident from my first bus ride in the nation's largest city, Yangon (formerly called Rangoon). Our tour guide would not discuss everyday living conditions, even though they were clearly demonstrated by the moldy and deteriorating buildings lining the dirt streets of the city.
The guide's reticence was understandable. One month before, Burmese citizens were violently reminded to watch what they say. In September, Buddhist monks led tens of thousands of fellow citizens in protests against the harsh dictatorship. The military's response was devastating. According to one account, thousands of protesters were massacred, their bodies dumped in the jungle. A thousand more were sent to Myanmar's infamous prisons, which are known for torture. Soldiers raided monasteries nationwide. I saw few monks during my visit.
Economic conditions mirror the political deterioration. Sixty years ago, Myanmar was the most literate and prosperous country in Southeast Asia. Today, the per capita annual income is $174, compared to its neighbor Thailand's $3,155. Myanmar has a substantial underground economy which primarily benefits the military leaders. Once referred to as the "Harvard of Southeast Asia," the University of Rangoon is now padlocked. Thousands of school-aged children beg on the streets rather than learn in classrooms.
The Bush administration has not made the situation any easier with several missteps. For example, we have clumsily outsourced our diplomatic responsibilities by encouraging Myanmar's neighbor China to push reform. This request ignores that China's main interest - commerce - depends on the military junta's goodwill. Nor will the monks in prison be reassured to know that we have asked the same Chinese rulers who produced Tiananmen Square and other human rights abuses to advocate for their well-being.
Conversely, though we have recently taken steps to strengthen U.S.-India relations, and India shares a 700-mile border with Myanmar, we have not effectively pushed the Indian government to take a more active role in improving conditions for nearly 50-million people to its west.
Worst of all is the perception that the United States should not even try to succeed diplomatically. Some Burmese reformers have suggested that we use our armed forces to liberate their country just like Iraq. We are seen as a power with no capability other than military might.
The best way for the United States to correct its missteps and change perceptions would be to work with other concerned countries through the United Nations. It was November before U.N. human rights envoy Paulo Sergio Pinhiero was allowed in Myanmar for the first time in four years. He and others are working to establish a genuine national dialogue among ethnic minorities, prodemocracy reformers and the military, and to create space for humanitarian relief agencies to feed the one-third of Burmese children who are malnourished.
The Burmese people are gentle, with an ironic sense of humor. When asked why so many have bad teeth, they say it is because they cannot open their mouths. The international community has an obligation to free the Burmese to flex their jaws - and improve their lives.

Jay Cutler's Journey: NFC Championship Game Rests On His ShouldersJanuary 22, 2011
The NFC Championship Game pits the NFL's fiercest historical rivals against each other to decide who represents the NFC in this year's Super Bowl.
Most of the "experts" in the media have picked the Green Bay Packers to triumph over the Chicago Bears and move on to play either the Pittsburgh Steelers or New York Jets for the NFL championship.
There are many subplots that play into this game: quarterback Aaron Rodgers creating his own legacy and stepping out of the shadow of the legendary Brett Favre, the Packers' myriad of injuries making the fact that they're even still playing that much more impressive, Bears head coach Lovie Smith's need for a contract extension that until six weeks ago was anything but guaranteed, and at least a billion other angles people can put on this game.
For the Bears, the most significant storyline is the journey of Jay Cutler.
The beleaguered quarterback seemed to whine his way out of Denver only to put up one of the more horrid statistical seasons of any Bears quarterback—and that's saying a lot. When you add to the mix the fact that the Bears gave up two first-round picks to the Broncos to acquire him and you have a player with an awful lot to prove.
Cutler is enigmatic to say the least. He is confident, which makes him seem aloof when he is clearly the one needing to do it better and cleaner than everyone else. That confidence, while it allows him to have a short memory, also causes him to try to fit the ball in spaces he really shouldn't.
These usually lead to interceptions that are at best unfortunate and at worst absolutely devastating depending on the time and circumstances under which they happen.
This season Cutler did not get much help early on from his offensive line, as it seemed they were more interested in finding out if a human being could be decapitated without using sharp edges. As the season wore on, the coaching staff settled on a lineup they liked and continuity brought a marked improvement in performance of not only Cutler, but running back Matt Forte.
The problem here is that the Packers get to the quarterback better than most teams. Most people would say that the impetus is on the offensive line to make sure protection is at a maximum. However we know what we're going to get from this group and Cutler does too. He'll need to know when to get rid of the ball quick and when he needs to tuck and run.
Which tells every football fan with any interest in this game that of all the machinations that will unfold as the game progresses, the one that means the most to the Bears is the play of their quarterback.
Big-game quarterbacks recognize this and respond accordingly. Pretenders throw two or three interceptions and never shake the monkey off their back. Cutler has made strides in Chicago the second part of this season. That all means nothing if Cutler lays an egg.
Sorry, Jay, it's on you.
