17th gold medal
U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps celebrates winning the men's 100m butterfly final during the swimming event at the London 2012 Olympic Games. By winning, he joined his American teammate Missy Franklin as the only triple gold medalists in London after she broke the world record in the 200 backstroke final a few minutes earlier and took his career tally to 21 medals, including 17 golds.

Casey Desmond, 'Heartbeat' – Free MP3 Download
After her brief run as a member of Adam Levine's team on the first season of 'The Voice,' Casey Desmond returned to Boston, still determined to make music. In her audition for the show, she performed Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way,' and appropriately so. Desmond exudes that element of female-pop-star showmanship, both in her sound and her live performances, but she also incorporates her love of '80s dance-pop. Ultimately, Desmond's music is Robyn-meets-Blondie and incredibly infectious.
Desmond's debut album, 'Déjà Vu' (available now on iTunes), blends all of her pop influences and combines vintage synthesizers and keyboards with a voice that was clearly stellar enough to land her on 'The Voice.' The record delivers a load of great dance tunes that are both dramatic and thoughtful.
You can hear it for yourself on today's free MP3, 'Heartbeat.' The song is not only fearless in sound, but also in its message.
"'Heartbeat' is dedicated to everyone with their heart on their sleeve, loving with reckless abandon, who relinquish control and surrender to the full merging with a lover," she told Diffuser.fm

But how many viruses actually corrupt exe's produced by the development tool chain? The viruses do "bad things" for the user's machine, but the propagation methods tend not to be things like "embedded evil code in compiled exes", just because so few people actually do any development that the growth medium isn't particularly rich. And, again, assuming they do have some evil program (either inadvertently via virus infestation or explicitly, because the user is a bad guy)... what's the damage? Presumably you have decent file system protection so that user A can't do bad things (or even see) user B's files.

Sure.. you let your cluster issue outbound network traffic to the big wide internet? This is probably harder to actually allow than to prevent. Most clusters have a "totally inside the cluster" network that's only implicitly bridged to the outside world through the headnode.

But, also, recall the general model we were discussing.. smallish cluster to support some commercial application (say, a computationally intensive FEM code). In this scenario, the cluster is basically sort of a "network attached appliance". There are lots of network attached storage devices out there (e.g. from Maxtor) using some form of Windows as the OS. They tend not to have AV stuff, just because the software on the appliance is fairly tightly configuration managed (i.e. nobody goes out running random programs on the NAS box). It's just not a huge threat. jim

arthritis, Carla Kienast, dr. burkhead, hip replacement surgery, Medical, replacement surgery, rheumatoid arthritis, shoulder replacement
So I went in for a check up with my shoulder surgeon yesterday, and I'm still so mad I could spit nails (as they say here in Texas).
The shoulder's been doing fine since replacement surgery almost 10 months ago. I can do almost anything shoulder level or below. I can reach, I can stretch, I have good strength. The only issue is, I can't raise my arm above shoulder height. This has been an ongoing issue since the surgery and we've tried different things, including injections and physical therapy to no avail. At one point when I was particularly frustrated the doctor told me I wouldn't have to live with it forever, that at some point we could go in and relieve some of the scar tissue (which I'm prone to generate) and that would provide greater range of motion.
Apparently the doctor has slept since that conversation.
Yesterday he had the nerve to tell me that as a patient with RA, this range of motion may be all that I can expect. WTF? (For those of you who don't know what that acronym stands for, the first two words are "what the".) They replaced the entire joint. Whether I have RA in the rest of my body or not, the new joint ought to work the same.
I'm not going to recount the entire conversation, but he did back off and say that it generally takes about 18 months to achieve full recovery and range of motion without more surgical intervention, so I have several more months to work on it.
I don't know whether that's the good news or the bad news, but the other news is that the other shoulder has been bothering me. The X-rays show that there are not any substantial arthritic changes in it, so I may have some minor tears or bursitis going on. I go in for an MRI next week, then back to the surgeon the following week. Hopefully I will have calmed down by then.
Hope everything you need today is within your range of motion. Thanks for checking in.

Let's discuss an easy way to embed a file-level TOC in a FrameMaker document. We'll generate a standalone TOC for the document and then import it by reference into the same document.
Here's how:
- Open the FrameMaker document.
- Click Special > Table of Contents. When FrameMaker prompts if you want to create a standalone TOC, say Yes.
- In the Set Up Table of Contents dialog, select the paragraph tags that you want to include in the TOC. Click Set. FrameMaker creates a separate TOC file and stores it in the directory where your FrameMaker document is stored.
- Open the new TOC and format it as necessary. You may want to change the font styles/sizes for the TOC paragraphs and set tab stops/leaders.
- Now, open the parent FrameMaker document, place the cursor at the intended insertion point (usually the beginning of the file), and then click File > Import > File. Select the external TOC file and click Import.
- Retain the default settings in the Import Text Flow by Reference dialog box and click Import. FramaMaker imports the TOC by reference into the parent document.

Roberts Space Industries Website reveals stretch goals for Star Citizen, the upcoming space simulation from Wing Commander creator Chris Roberts, along with a new Star Citizen Ships Development Document with details on the spacecraft being created for the project (thanks Matt). They don't reconcile the separate crowdsourcing efforts between that site and Kickstarter, but they do confirm the game has raised its overall goal of two million dollars, and they are offering separate stretch goals for each, which will likely inspire more interest in the project, and possibly some confusion. Here's word on the two sets of stretch goals and plans to extend their internal fundraising effort to coincide with the external one:

Hipstamatic is planning to bring photos back with a comeback this year. Instagram, 500px and other competitors are attempting to barge through and own as much of the mobile market as possible when it comes to photography. So what's on the cards for Hipstamatic? CEO Lucas Buick spoke to The Next Web, discussing plans as well as to talk about why the company is backing Windows Phone 8.
"When we started looking at what we wanted to do next with photography and mobile, it didn't make a lot of sense to move forward by simply changing what we had done and cutting off all of the people who still love Hipstamatic."
The result is Oggl, which is available on multiple platforms, including Windows Phone. The apps were recently updated (only yesterday) with numerous fixes and improvements. Sporting numerous filters, Oggl really enables you to go wild with photography on the go. It also makes sense for Hipstamatic to be on the platform with Nokia advancing its optics. With the best cameraphone around today, why wouldn't you want to be involved?
Nokia has been knocking balls out the park with numerous partnerships and deals signed with developers and companies to get apps and services on Windows Phone. The manufacturer knows it has to get content available for consumers to want to switch. It's interesting to note that Hipstamatic were in talks with Microsoft previously, but weren't interested in Windows Phone at the time.
The full article over on The Next Web is well worth the read. Going into all the little details like what's with the name "Oggl"? Wait, you actually want to know? Buick explains: "Early on we started focusing in on the trademark look of Hipstamatic, which is the icon; it's a lens with a yellow dot above it. Design wise, we wanted to flatten it out and go post modern with it, and we abstracted that out and it became an O. So we just started focusing in on names that started with O." Nothing too exciting, right?
Alas, rock on over and check out the full interview. Both apps are available for free and include a 60 day trial of all the "gear". You can download Oggl for all Windows Phone 8 devices from the store, but if you own a Nokia Lumia 1020, you'll be able to take advantage of Oggl Pro.

Kathakali Dance: A Colorful Representation of Rich Culture
Kerala Kathakali Dance
The profound facial make-up, colorful costumes and various designed ornaments of Kathakali Dance scares me when I was child. As days passes I grow up and learned that colors are reflection of human temperament which play significant role while traditional folk dance presentations. I learned several new facts about this folk dance of Kerala which transformed my childhood fear into an appealing aspect. For the first time I experienced the live performance of Kerala Kathakali Dance during my Kerala Tour last week. I was in Kerala for my official conference and after attending it I rushed to see this cultural event at Margi Art Theater in Thiruvananthapuram.
Etymologically Kathakali stems from the Malayalam words 'Katha' (story) and 'Kali' (play). Themes of this story dance based on Indian epics like Mahabharata and Ramayana. The story is narrated through proper mudras or hand gestures with a verse of the story sung in the background. This dance is a combination of five elements of fine art which includes expressions (Natyam) emphasis on facial expressions, Dance (Nritham) emphasis on rhythm and movement of hands, legs and body, Enactment (Nrithyam) emphasis on 'mudras' hand gestures, (Geetha) song/vocal accompaniment and (Vadyam) instrument accompaniment.
Apart from this there are several kinds of costume such as Sathwika (the hero), Kathi (the villain), Minukku (females) and Thatti. Each character of this dance is recognized by their characteristic makeup and costume.
The Kathakali show that I watched based on the theme of Ramayana in which characters of Lord Rama and King Ravana presented by artists. They portrayed the good and evil characters so efficiently that one can understand it without even music and narrations. The story of how good wins over evil is presented through facial gestures, various dance steps and hand movements which stolen my heart most during the show. The story was superbly presented and prefect coordination with ballads efficiently conveyed the messages to the audience. Throughout the show I was captivated by the facial gestures, rhythmic flow of body, various dance steps and artistic finger movements which convey several meanings.
After watching the Kathakali performance I realized that it much more than dance because its performance effectively combines the 5 major fine arts namely, literature (Sahityam), music (Sangeetham), Painting (Chitram), acting (Natyam) and dance (Nrithyam).This dance performance touched my soul and made me speechless. With various fascinating thoughts of this rich cultural presentation I returned to my hotel.

The NutriBullet is a device that rewards experimentation. Unfortunately for most people that means seeing if there's any kind of food that it can't pulse into mush within seconds (we'll save you some time and money: there isn't – the NutriBullet is terrifyingly effective).
Instead of doing this, or at least after you've tried blending every single thing in your fridge, it's time to start using the NutriBullet in a more practical manner. Even if you use it every morning to whip up a fruit-filled breakfast smoothie, you're only scratching the surface of what the NutriBullet is capable of. Want proof? Just take a quick glance through @thenutribullet's photo feed on Instagram. It's a carefully curated mix of the very best and most exciting recipes created using your favourite blade-filled kitchen gizmo.
How exciting can they possibly be? Well, pretty darn exciting, it turns out. Never underestimate what the human imagination can produce when armed with a powerful enough blender. There are soups, cakes, fritters, waffles, lollies and, of course, smoothies by the gallon. We've picked out ten of our absolute faves and listed them below. Get blending.

Happy New Year Everyone!
As a 2010 tribute, I want to share some of my favorite reads this season.
Knowledge is power. By continuing to educate ourselves about celiac disease and the gluten-free diet, we can improve our own health and wellbeing as well as that of our families.
I found these recent articles and blog posts to be fascinating, inspiring, even delicious! I hope that reading them will help you start 2010 empowered to further restore your health and reclaim your life.
News published on developments in diagnosis and treatment research mean a brighter future for people with celiac.
Amy Leger, the Savvy Celiac, did a phenomenal series of posts on celiac disease and gluten-free awareness developments over the past decade, and our community's goals for the decade to come.
Dr. Vikki Petersen, journalist Anneli Rufus, and Huffington Post's Dr. Mark Hyman tackle gluten sensitivity and bring attention to a condition warranting more research and greater understanding.
Alina De Almedia, a young nutrition student, is helping raise awareness of people with celiac and gluten intolerance at the hospital where she works. We need more advocates like her in our healthcare system!
And finally, some fantastic food courtesy of the Gluten-Free Goddess herself!

Simple, healthy, gluten-free cooking.
A New Year's Snack Revolution
New Year's resolutions are the same every year.
# 1. Be gluten-free.
# 2. Eat healthier.
# 3. Change our weight, lose or gain (a little or a lot).
We are a nation of snackers. Isn't it an unalienable right, maybe even in our Constitution?
Visions of pretzels, snack bars, nutritional drinks, cookies (OK, just one or two), maybe a little slice of cake, dance in our heads. Now there are numerous tasty gluten-free versions, and we eat them because we can.
You can make the argument they are healthier for us simply because they are gluten-free. That is true, but we can do better.
So now, I speak up for the silent masses of fruits and veggies: those that do not have lobbyists, associations, and advertising budgets.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are naturally gluten-free; you know that. Buy in season and they are often less expensive than prepared gluten-free snacks. And, you get vitamins, minerals, and fiber wrapped up in deliciousness. Fruits and veggies are all good, no bad. What are you waiting for?
Change your resolutions! Improve your personal constitution!! Join me in a snack revolution!!!
#1. Stock a fruit bowl and keep it in easy reach.
#2. Prep fresh veggies and package them to grab and go.
#3. Advance into new territory. Try a new to you fruit or veggie each week. You might fall in love.
Apples, apricots, bananas, blueberries, cherries, grapes, grapefruit, kiwis, melons, mangos, nectarines, oranges, papayas, peaches, pears, persimmons, pineapple, guavas, raspberries, strawberries - these offer health, sweetness, and fragrance, in beautiful natural packages.
There are the usual broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and colorful bell peppers. But, you could also expand your taste buds with sliced fresh fennel, kohlrabi, small mushrooms, and even sweet onions.
Prep and package them in amounts useful to you. It could be in a big container in the fridge or many small containers to take with you to work or play.
"It is too easy, it won't work," you say. The odds are great, but you can succeed. Enjoy produce every day, the more the better.

NFCA is thrilled to welcome Dan Kohler, chef, celiac and founder of RenegadeKitchen.com, to our gluten-free team! This year, Dan will be sharing some of his fantastic gluten-free recipes and cooking videos with us in our monthly newsletter and Gluten-Free Recipe of the Week Blog.
So who is the Renegade Chef?
A Colorado native, Dan Kohler studied theatre at Northwestern University, and moved to New York to make a name for himself on the big stage. For two years, Dan performed as a Blue Man with Blue Man Group, headlining a Fourth of July celebration with Miley Cyrus and guest-starring on the Dr. Phil Show.
Now that he's no longer bald and blue, Dan is focusing on his other love, food!
Dan launched RenegadeKitchen.com in the summer of 2009. The site features recipes for the allergy bound punched up with a little attitude. His website is aimed at bringing a new voice to the gluten-free cooking world, focusing on simple recipes that you can make for yourself and your friends, whether or not they have allergies. On RenegadeKitchen.com, Dan also hosts a cooking show and video interview series with manufacturers of food for the allergen free crowd.
Having suffered with celiac disease and food allergies himself, Dan is committed to helping others learn how to live well and love eating, even on a restricted diet!
"I started RenegadeKitchen.com as a way to share recipes I've come to love with people who may be new to the lifestyle. My support system was built in; I had my parents and I'm lucky for that. I know the reality is that most people get a diagnosis and feel alone and confused, unsure of where to go or what to do.
Changing my diet was one of the best decisions I've made, I feel more energetic, my skin is less oily and my immune system is stronger. I'd get GF FOR LIFE tattooed on my neck, but that might be a little extreme. No?" he says.

Because a product on the shelf in your local store is marked "Gluten-Free" does mean that the celiac customer is fully protected. At present, there is no legal definition of what constitutes "gluten-free." The words "gluten-free" on a label may have no real meaning beyond compliance with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruling that says a label has to accurately state what ingredients are in a food.
A product does not need to be "zero gluten". Healthcare professionals agree that less than 20 ppm is acceptable. A product testing at 20 ppm may have anywhere from 20 ppm down to zero ppm. It will be important to know the following: Does the company regularly test its products for gluten content? Is the product made on a dedicated manufacturing line used only for gluten-free products?
The proposed new FDA label would give a strict definition to the words "gluten- free." As it is proposed at this point in time, the new label would require that products with a GF label contain no more than 20 ppm gluten. This level of 20 ppm was arrived at after extensive presentations to FDA by authorities in the field. This would put the burden of proof on the manufacturer who would be required to test that their product conformed to the new standard.
The final proposal was due to go into effect on August 2, 2008. This deadline was not met. The gluten-free community and the food industry look forward to this ruling coming out soon.
In cases where manufacturers have been allowing more, they would be required to lower the gluten content of a product. It would also require companies to test their product. The new law would also, hopefully, reduce the number of warning statements that have proliferated on products of late.
Meanwhile, some products are labeled very carefully and give exact details about production methods and testing levels. Hopefully, the new law will expand that assurance to all the GF products In short, the new labeling law will make your shopping experience more convenient and safer.
Danny the Dragon and Author Tina Turbin Share "Yummy Gluten-Free Tid Bits"
Ever since your child was diagnosed with celiac disease, you've been working hard to manage his or her gluten-free diet. This has required some adjustments, but you're managing your child's gluten-free diet fairly well, learning gluten-free cooking and providing your child with gluten-free alternatives at school and at your favorite local restaurants.
As a gluten-free advocate and mother, I am often asked by parents of celiac children how long it will take after switching to a gluten-free diet before their child will feel better. Not only does a child feeling better give parents the peace of mind that they're finally doing the right thing to stop their child from being ill, but it's useful in getting their celiac child to stick to their new way of eating once they can see and feel the benefits.
The amount of time it takes to feel better on a gluten-free diet is different for every person. Sometimes people feel better right away, but sometimes it can take weeks or even a few months. The average length of time before people begin to experience relief of their symptoms is six to eight weeks. In adults, it can take the intestines several months or even years to heal. Since your child has been diagnosed with celiac disease early in life, their intestines will most likely not need a recovery period of such length.
One of the reasons why the length of time can be prolonged before relief is experienced is that mastering a gluten-free diet takes time. It's not unusual to make some mistakes as you change your child's diet to gluten-free. For instance, you may not know all the synonyms for gluten at first and, in reading food labels, you may overlook these and, unbeknownst to you, end up feeding your child gluten containing foods. Also, avoiding cross-contamination of gluten can be a challenge at first.
Other food intolerances can also influence the celiac child's recovery period. It is common for celiac patients to have other food intolerances and food allergies. Lactose intolerance is a commonly seen alongside celiac disease. Luckily, as the intestines heal while your child is on a gluten-free diet, these intolerances should improve, but this too can take several months.
Celiac disease can also cause deficiencies in vitamins and minerals due to intestinal damage, which prevents proper absorption of nutrients. As a result, untreated celiac disease has also been linked with depression, thyroid disease, and diabetes. Many celiac patients will not feel totally better until, if present, these illnesses have been treated.
If your child has been diagnosed with celiac disease, it's important that he sticks to the gluten-free diet even if he doesn't feel results right away. Learning that the recovery time varies can be encouraging for you and your celiac child. Focus on creative ways of adapting to a gluten-free lifestyle and keep your child busy with fun activities such as baking gluten-free goodies during this time. Continue to tell your child how much healthier he's going to be because of his gluten-free diet. Before you know it, your child will begin to see and feel relief and will be well-grooved into his new gluten-free way of life.

Since then, she has engaged in diligent research and writing about these topics, contributing articles to such publications and websites as Awareness Magazine, MixingBowl.com and the Baby Boomers Knowledge Center, and Celiac.com. She also has her own gluten-free resource website, www.GlutenFreeHelp.info.

The food service industry continues to mainstream gluten-free foods and menus, as numerous trade reports list the gluten-free diet among the top trends for the coming year.
The National Restaurant Association's annual "What's Hot" chef survey ranked gluten-free among the Top 20 Trends for 2010. Almost 2000 American Culinary Federation chefs participated in the survey, which helps professionals stay on top of the hottest developments in food preparation and public demand.
Gluten-free was also acknowledged by Restaurants & Institutions (R&I), listed 17th on their annual '20 Menu Trends' for 2010.
"It's one thing for food-allergy sufferers to find menu items they can enjoy at independent restaurants, where more personal attention from kitchens is expected; it's another to find suitable selections at concepts meant to cater to the mass market."
"It's one thing for food-allergy sufferers to find menu items they can enjoy at independent restaurants, where more personal attention from kitchens is expected; it's another to find suitable selections at concepts meant to cater to the mass market."
R&I encourages food service providers to "do everything they can to position themselves for success at the dawn of a new decade," which includes accommodating the growing number Americans who require a gluten-free diet.
The Food Channel also put gluten-free among the top 10 food trends to watch for 2010. The site released its Top 10 for '10 based on research conducted in conjunction with CultureWaves and the Inter-national Food Futurists.
The NFCA actively seeks to cultivate the gluten-free industry through its activities with the National Restaurant Association, Research Chef's Association, and American Culinary Federation, among others. Thanks to the enthusiastic support of these influential organizations, the NFCA and the GREAT Program will continue to expand their presence and reach throughout the food industry at the 2010 conferences and trade shows.
We continue to emphasize that the gluten-free diet is by no means a fad, but a nutritional movement. We know that through diagnosis and the introduction of the gluten-free diet, we will 'Restore Health and Reclaim Lives' for millions who suffer today.
For Information visit the beyondceliac.org GREAT Association page.
National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) proudly announces the launch of its newest program, Gluten-Free Resource Education Awareness Training (GREAT) Healthcare, the nation's first comprehensive and accredited continuing education program for healthcare professionals dedicated to the topic of celiac disease.
NFCA's goal to have one million new cases of celiac disease diagnosed in the next five years is ambitious. And, we believe it can and will be done. To be successful, the primary care provider needs the assistance of a multi-disciplinary team of trained professionals to help with this formidable task. Gluten-free Resource Education and Awareness Training (GREAT) Healthcare is at the ready!
The program educates healthcare providers about celiac so that they may recognize the symptoms of the disease in undiagnosed patients, and partner with the medical team to support testing and diagnosis. In addition, GREAT Healthcare equips professionals with the critical information and resources necessary to both understand and support patients on a gluten-free diet.
GREATH Healthcare offers customized learning modules for:
The curriculum is fully accredited to meet the continuing education requirements for these healthcare professionals. Programs are offered online, and are appropriate for both the private practitioner and those in a large medical center. Fees are affordable and a sliding scale is offered for groups.
GREAT Healthcare was piloted in early 2009 in cooperation with Saint Barnabas Health Care Systems of New Jersey. The program was implemented in all of St. Barnabas'18 facilities, with the goal of completing training for personnel in all disciplines, including clinicians, dieticians, and food service staff.
"GREAT Healthcare provided our professionals with a heightened awareness and education about celiac. The ability of the NFCA to work within the parameters of our large, integrated health care system, interact with employees at all levels and deliver a professional product made this organization the ideal partner for implementing a program of this scope," said Margaret Weiss Masiello, Clinical Coordinator of the Kogan Celiac Center of the Saint Barnabas Healthcare System.

A knowledgeable healthcare staff, coupled with gluten-free food service, will result in more and more hospitals, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers and other facilities capable of meeting the celiac community's gluten-free needs.
Help us make the healthcare system a better place for those with celiac by spreading the word about GREAT Healthcare today!

"A great deal changed in 2009 in the area of gluten sensitivity and celiac disease. My book, The Gluten Effect, was published early in the year and I must confess that my co-author and I felt like quite the renegades during the year we were writing it and for several months following its publication. The reason was that there seemed to be two distinct camps in the field: those that felt that celiac disease was the only 'real' diagnosis and those that 'knew' that gluten sensitivity was a very real condition."

It's 2010! The coming of the New Year means many of us have made resolutions to eat healthier and get active. It's always a good idea to keep your energy up and to have a healthy snack on hand that can help you do just that. Whether exercising or just looking for and afternoon snack, my go-to product is Lara Bar. These eight ingredient fruit and nut bars are made from 100% whole, raw foods and are gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, non-GMO, vegan and kosher, so they are perfect for a wide variety of diets. Best of all, they are delicious, truly good for you and available in 16 flavors (both traditional and exotic) so you are bound to find more than one favorite. You can find these bars in many mainstream grocery stores but, if you can't find them near you, you can order directly from their website. http://www.larabar.com/
J & S Foods No Nuts Golden Gluten-Free Peabutter
Yes, you read it right: peabutter. Made from just peas, a variety of oils and sugar, this product is gluten-free, peanut-free, soy-free and sodium free, and absolutely yummy. It's a great alternative for those with nut allergies. I was surprised at how much it really tastes like peanut butter, you can hardly tell the difference. The consistency is slightly less firm, but if you keep it in the fridge it will solidify a bit more. It's also a healthy alternative to traditional peanut butter with just five grams of fat, 80 calories per serving, and no trans fat, saturated fat, sodium or sugar. You can use this peabutter in everything from gluten-free cookies to stir-fry sauce to peabutter and jelly sandwiches! I personally have not seen this product in stores near me, so I order mine online from the Gluten-Free Mall. http://www.glutenfreemall.com/catalog/foods-nuts-golden-glutenfree-peabutter-peanut-butter-alternative-p-236.html
Still Riding Pizza
My boyfriend is from Connecticut. When we go up to visit his parents, they always get me a gluten-free pizza from this small Italian restaurant near their house called Frascatis. For a long time, I thought they made the dough from scratch because it is absolutely delicious, serves up both firm and chewy and really tastes like wood fired pizzeria pizza. But recently, thanks to the investigative work of my boyfriend's mom, I found out that they actually order their crusts from a company called Still Riding Pizza. On the company's website, you can enter in your zip code to find a restaurant that serves this crust near you. The coolest thing is, if it's not available in a restaurant close enough to you, you can enter in information for a restaurant you think should carry it and they will work to bring it to your area! You can also print off a company brochure to take to a pizzeria near you to educate them about the gluten-free crusts and encourage them to serve it. If you prefer to enjoy this pizza in the comfort of your own home, you can order the crusts directly from their website. Amazing! http://www.stillridingpizza.com/
DeBoles Multi Grain Penne
Last weekend, I was at the market doing my shopping for the week. I had a pasta dish planned and had run out of gluten-free noodles. As I perused the shelf, a box of gluten-free DeBoles pasta caught my eye with a label that read "New!" I was so excited to see that the company has come out with a gluten-free multi grain penne. Made from a blend of rice, quinoa and amaranth, this cooks up with a much heartier flavor than pasta made from brown rice alone. If you are someone that was at one point eating traditional whole grain pasta and enjoyed the taste, you should definitely try this new brand from DeBoles. Another great thing about this new pasta is that it is enriched with nutrients that are commonly missing from the gluten-free diet such as fiber and B vitamins. Another healthy choice for the New Year! I found this brand right at my local Harris Teeter. If you can't find it in a grocery store near you, try the website's store locator feature or order direct. http://www.deboles.com/products/gluten-free-products.php
Food Bank in Colorado Pioneers Gluten-Free Donations
A food bank in Loveland, Colorado recently became the nation's first food bank to promote gluten-free foods for needy families who have a member with celiac or other wheat intolerances. The House of Neighborly Service food bank was able to provide Anne Miller, a mother of seven who has a daughter on a gluten-free diet, with a grocery cart full of gluten-free soups, pastas, and pizza dough mixes. Because of the higher price of gluten-free products, many families are finding themselves scraping by when it comes to their food bills. Hopefully, more food banks across the country will follow along with this shining example. http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iyFHV8iz6ptpASKxFVrCiG85KJvgD9CL8AB00
The Varied Symptoms of Celiac Disease
It is well known that celiac disease can present with a wide variety of symptoms. Some of them clearly point to celiac, while others are far more ambiguous. This article, in a recent issue of the Washington Post discusses the varied symptoms of celiac disease in the form of a Q and A with Dr. Sheila Crowe, a professor in the division of gastroenterology and hepatology in the department of medicine at the University of Virginia. I found it to be very informative. At one point, it discusses how symptoms of celiac can often emerge in individuals during the first year of college due to the diet on most campuses being higher in gluten than a traditional meat and potatoes diet, as well as increased levels of stress. This article is definitely worth a read. http://consults.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/12/21/the-varied-symptoms-of-celiac-disease/
Celiac is "In" for 2010
At the turn of the New Year, the Washington Post featured an article about what's "in" and what's "out" for the year 2010. Interestingly, they listed celiac disease as being "in" for this year. Unfortunately, the counterpoint on the "out" list was peanut allergies. While this is certainly not the case, as peanut allergies are just as common and important as they were a month ago, it is nice to see that celiac is getting this mainstream attention. Hopefully, 2010 will bring even more awareness and progress for the celiac community! http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/artsandliving/features/2009/holiday-guide/the-list-2010/index.html?hpid=topnews

Daily Round-Up: Lucky 7! July 7th, 2011.
7. 7. 7. 7. 7. 7. 7. Pretty good day for me too.
Anyway, off to the round-ups, you lucky people!
The Moment: Major ISPs give users "six strikes" for copyright infringements. It's an interesting idea, and the move that everybody can really agree to. The idea is simple – Copyright holders will continue to look for copyright infringements on torrent sites and other sites on the Web. Major internet providers will continue to give their customers privacy so ISPs won't have to supply copyright holders with information on copyright infringements unless the Court requires them to. In a meanwhile, copyright holders will "ping" ISPs with notice if they see users on the network downloading/uploading any copyrighted work without permissions. Users will get First and Second notice as a warning via e-mail that directs them to know more about the copyright issue. Users will get third and fourth notice the same way, except they will be in the more noticeable forms such as pop-up alerts. Fifth and sixth notice will bring "mitigation measures," which include throttling, forcing violators to visit landing page that tells violators to settle the matter with the ISP and others. This doesn't stop people from spoofing IP address, or jumping from ISP to another ISP to avoid any trouble with the violation. But if ISP can act in a reasonable way (they can't cancel your internet service or prevent you from sending e-mails or consulting with doctors online so that's a start), this can be a better way than suing the heck out of everyone to get money that they will probably never fully get to begin with.
"My Bold, Cold, Bald Picks": This will increase piracy short-term, but will eventually lead to more reasonable relationships between content consumers and creators. Given that even reaching sixth strike has a light consequence, it's not hard to imagine people moving more toward piracy since they don't have to worry about getting sued by MPAAs and record companies. But in a more factual way, people who usually pirates software or contents separate into two groups: Those who actually buy a lot more content than those who don't and those who are too poor to buy legal contents anyway. For the first group of people, one study revealed that people who pirates download 10 TIMES the amount of music downloaded by people who don't pirate. Piracy actually exposes people to more musics and artists, eventually pushing people to legally buy albums and singles of artists that they gave a listen via torrents. For the second group of people, teens are main factors in piracy. It's partly because they're more tech-savvy but mainly because teens usually get a little allowance. A lot of teens have a very fickle musical taste and listen to songs that are "hot," which changes almost every week. With little allowances that they have, they cannot buy all songs that they want to put on their iPods and iPhones. So what do they resort to? Piracy. Same thing applies to most of the contents that are pirated such as movies and games.
So, two groups of people who pirates are either those who will not buy legal contents, or those who already buy enough legal contents. This means content creators really have a little need to crack down on piracy. While I don't advocate for the full-on legalization of piracy, relaxing on piracy probably will also cut the consumer backlash MPAAs and RIAAs of organizations get when they sue ordinary people for millions of dollars just because they uploaded couple songs.
Okay… running late here. Off to the links…:
Facebook Vibe seen, music service coming to Facebook? This really makes Facebook look like MySpace now.
Steve Ballmer will deliver CES 12 keynote. Perhaps with the sneak peek of Windows 8? Rumor says that Windows 8 will be released next April anyway.
Apple loses "appstore" copyright lawsuit against Amazon. Judge declares Apples' App Store not famous enough, or renowned, or prominent. App Store is not famous enough, and Kim Kardashian is?
Another Moment: Google Maps updated on Android, enables offline map viewing. Here goes TomTom and Garmin. (Maybe Garmin can try Nuvifone 2?)
Swype on iOS. Only if you are jailbroken. There's a reason to try JailbreakMe.
iAD facing competition as competitors woo companies. Seriously though, million dollar fees to start iADs are way, way too high.
iPad HD coming this year, with Final Cut Pro and Aperture? I don't know how fingers can do sensitive image editing work? Maybe they will have Mighty Mouse compatible with iPad soon? (iPad in Eee Pad Transformer form would be awesome, actually)
Virgin Mobile's $ 25 unlimited data/text, 300 minutes plan will have a price hike to $ 35. Still one of best deals you can get if you're using a smartphone. Especially when a competitive plan for Verizon costs close to $ 130.
App Store hits 15 billion downloads, and $ 2.5 billion given to developers. Android Market just hit 5 billion last week, so there's your bar right there, Android.
Government arrests 15 people from Anonymous. Five of them are under 18. That's some hot young IT prospects right there… In a meanwhile, AntiSec is hacking more organizations. This hacking spree just won't stop!
Sony will include "PSN Pass" in first-party games, which links PSN account with the game CD. This bans people who bought used CDs to play online games, although I'm pretty sure people will find a way.
Investors accuse RIM of using the split of CEO/Chairman as a "stall tactic" to prevent them from suggesting more changes. The company is falling apart on the outside and on the inside.
In brief: Toshiba Thrive in stock for $ 430…Verizon already controls 32% of iPhone 4 data usage in the U.S….Xoom may get Android 3.2 which nobody knows what it is (Ice Cream Sandwich should be 4.0)…SpongeBob Twitter Adventure! More cheaper iPhone rumor…Apple releasing Lion on July 14th?..2Pac Albums on iTunes!
Unlocked HD2 for $ 260, EVO 4G for $ 30 at Radio Shack… Fallout New Vegas for $ 10 at Best Buy…Fieldrunners HD for Android free on Amazon…FIFA 11 for $ 24, NCAA Football 12 with $ 20 gift card for $ 57 at Amazon…
4000 XBox Live points along with your Windows Phone for a penny…Samsung Bluetooth handset for $ 4 after $ 20 rebate…Refurbished Sandy Bridge Dell XPS desktop with 8GB of RAM, i7 CPU, and Radeon HD 5770 for $ 649…
Happy 7/7 day and good night!

- Australian Grand Prix - Qualifying
New Williams 'undriveable' - Maldonado

- Australian Grand Prix

- Teams:
- Williams
Pastor Maldonado says his Williams was "undriveable" during qualifying for the Australian Grand Prix and is concerned his team has taken a step back this year.
Maldonado did not make the cut for the second session of qualifying and will start from 17th on the grid at the season-opener in Melbourne. Talking immediately after the session, he said he thinks Williams may be facing another situation like 2011, a season when it only scored five points all year.
"I think we're back to two years' ago with the conditions in the team," he said. "We need to work very hard to sort the problems; the car is undriveable at the moment and we need to work. That's it."
Maldonado thinks the car will be more competitive in race conditions but says the Williams is not suited to Albert Park in any conditions.
"The track is completely different, the conditions and everything. For any reason we didn't adapt our car to this track in whatever the conditions are. In the wet we were slow, in the dry as well, so we'll see. The pace for tomorrow seems to be much better but qualifying pace is really bad."

I don't know what Grid you're talking about, but the one pioneered by projects such as Legion and Globus has always realized that network latency is limited by the speed of light. That and the fact that large collections of machines have continual small failures are the two features that separate grid computing from cluster or parallel computing. Meanwhile, network bandwidth, which is needed by the actual Grid, is improving quite rapidly. -- greg

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2009, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
A gay couple says they were detained by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints security guards after one man kissed another on the cheek Thursday on Main Street Plaza.
"They targeted us," said Matt Aune, 28. "We weren't doing anything inappropriate or illegal, or anything most people would consider inappropriate for any other couple."
Aune and his partner, Derek Jones, 25, were cited by Salt Lake City police for trespassing on the plaza, located at 50 East North Temple, according to Sgt. Robin Snyder.
In a written statement, church spokeswoman Kim Farah denied the two were singled out for being gay.
The church contends the couple was "asked to stop engaging in inappropriate behavior just as any other couple would have been. They became argumentative and used profanity and refused to leave the property. They were arrested and then given a citation for criminal trespass by SLPD."
Though Salt Lake City sold the property to the church in the late 1990s, it remains a popular pedestrian thoroughfare, and a site where couples often pose affectionately for photos.
The Salt Lake Police Department on Friday denied a Salt Lake Tribune request for a full police report on the incident, citing Utah laws giving them five business days to respond to records requests.
Snyder refused to name the reason security guards gave for alerting police, saying it is "irrelevant."
"If a person is asked to leave private property for whatever reason and refuses to do so, that is technically trespassing," she said.
Aune said the incident started when he and Jones were walking back to their Salt Lake City home from a Twilight Concert Series show at the Gallivan Center. The couple live just blocks away from the plaza in the Marmalade district of the Capitol Hill neighborhood.
The pair crossed the plaza holding hands, Aune said. About 20 feet from the edge of the plaza, Aune said he stopped, put his arm on Jones' back and kissed him on the cheek.
Several security guards then arrived and asked the pair to leave, saying that public displays of affection are not allowed on the church property, Aune and Jones said. They protested, saying they often see other couples holding hands and kissing there, said Jones.
"We were kind of standing up for ourselves," Jones said. "It was obviously because we were gay."
The guards put Jones on the ground and handcuffed him, he said. Aune said he was also cuffed roughly, and suffered bruises and a swollen wrist. The injuries did not require medical treatment, Snyder said.
Farah said the two men "became argumentative," refused to leave, and used profanity.
Aune said he felt "upset" and "affronted" during the approximately five-minute exchange.
"When I was handcuffed, I was very pissed and I unleashed a flurry of profanities," he said.
Police arrived about 10:30 p.m. They spoke with the couple and two security guards before issuing the citations, Snyder said. The pair was banned from LDS Church Headquarters' campus for six months, Farah confirmed. That does not include the City Creek or any other properties.
The kiss happened on a former public easement given up by city in 2003 in a controversial land-swap deal. The easement became private property, allowing the church to ban protesting, smoking, sunbathing and other "offensive, indecent, obscene, lewd or disorderly speech, dress or conduct," church officials said at the time. In exchange, the city got church property for a west-side community center.
Aune said he was one of those who protested the transfer at the time.
"They claimed in 2003 this would never happen, they were never going to arrest anyone," he said. "It's clear now they do have an agenda."

Health Care REIT's gleaming new office center in Ohio was just awarded LEED Platinum certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. The colonial-style complex was designed by Centerbrook Architects in collaboration with + Duket Architects Planners of Ohio and is set on a grassy hill. The new complex has renovated a forty-year old building, updating it with modern green standards.
The rehabbed Healthcare REIT Building is only one of nine LEED Platinum Buildings, out of 212 LEED Certified buildings in the state. The colonial façade, complete with Doric columns, welcome visitors to the energy-saving complex. Centerbrook and Duket installed a green roof system on the existing structure, which filters rainwater and protects the interior from solar gain. Windows and skylights were added to ensure optimum natural lighting throughout the entire complex.
A solar photovoltaic array was also added to the roof, to help power the building's energy needs. The complex also features a retention pond, thermal storage and solar thermal panels that save energy used for heating. Sustainable wood was used in construction throughout, and an intensive recycling program has been integrated into day to day operations.
The building's energy consumption is monitored and controlled through real-time metering and automatic controls. Combined, these features greatly reduce the overall energy, water, and electricity consumption – in addition to a 78% reduction of construction waste and a 100% reduction of potable water for irrigation.
Aside from the traditional green features, the Health Care REIT facility has a state of the art telecommunications system that allows employees to "meet" regularly and remotely. This sophisticated structure saves employees time and energy that would be spent on commuting. Health Care REIT's office campus was designed to make employees comfortable, and to thrive in a healthy working environment.

Triumph has cut straight to the point with its marketing of the Tiger Explorer. Most other new big adventure bikes, they tell us, are not rivals of the class-defining BMW R1200GS because they don't have any real off-road ability. But it's a thin claim, because only a tiny minority of GS owners do any sort of off-road riding. So anything with adventure-bike looks and a vaguely similar price is in competition with the GS, whether the rival manufacturers like it or not.
No such equivocation from Triumph, though: the Explorer is designed to steal GS sales, it does have off-road ability and the German bike was the benchmark throughout the development process, which started back in 2006.
It's a long gestation period, partly because the category is entirely new to Triumph and partly because to be truly competitive, it decided it needed an all-new bike, rather than trying to adapt an existing one, as Kawasaki and Honda have with the Versys 1000 and Crosstourer. So, the 1,215cc, liquid-cooled, three-cylinder engine is all new, if familiar in its basic architecture, and it's fitted in a purpose-built, tubular steel frame with a twin-spar layout.
The appeal of adventure bikes is partly the go-anywhere image and also the long-distance ability, which means comfort and range. It's also about practicality and equipment, which demands a host of accessories. The first sign that Triumph understands the market, is in the alternator, which has a huge 900W capacity backed up by a big 18Ah battery. Even the GS makes do with a mere 720W.
Other important features include an easily adjusted screen with an optional larger version, height-adjustable seat, a satnav mount, heated seats, engine bars and sump guard, ABS brakes and traction control, plus useful dash information such as ambient temperature, fuel economy and range.
Every box is ticked on the Explorer, then, and the good-size panniers are purposeful and well designed, although the top box is smaller than some will like. But you don't need the key every time you want to open them, you can just leave them unlocked, unlike many. Even the sidestand has an extra large footprint for use on softer ground.
The Triumph does the fundamentals exceptionally well, too. The engine offers more torque and power than the GS right across the rev range, but most importantly it pulls strongly and eagerly at lower speeds in higher gears. It's smooth and it also sounds fabulous with a gravelly rasp that turns heads.
Maximum power is 135bhp, but the important number is 74lb ft of torque, as the motor makes at least this from 2,500rpm up to the power peak at 9,500rpm, with a maximum of 89lb ft. The one criticism is the overly light throttle – even on the road a bump can have you opening it inadvertently.
I can't be definitive about economy until our long-term test Explorer arrives, but brim to brim on the press launch, where the bike was mostly ridden hard, it achieved just over 39mpg, a figure confirmed almost exactly by the dash. From that I'd guess 43-45mpg to be typical in everyday riding, which means, importantly, the range will be at least 190 miles.
Comfort is also good. The seat is large and supportive, while the riding position is spacious and commanding. Smaller riders might find the ergonomics, including the seat height, a bit stretched out.
You use a button on the left handlebar for scrolling through the dash info, where many still demand you lean forward to the dash itself and take one hand off the bars. The suspension provides a plush ride that shames many rivals, and while the comfort bias means it gets a little out of shape when used hard, it's the right balance for this bike.
Importantly it's also enjoyable, and if it's a little less wieldy than the GS, you get more feedback through the chassis. GS riders will find the front end dive under braking excessive compared with the anti-dive Telelever front ends of the BMW.
It's excellent as a touring bike but still capable enough in a sporting guise, and dynamically better than a GS in almost every way. It even offers the longest service intervals of any production bike at 10,000 miles for minor ones, 20,000 for major services. It's slightly cheaper than a GS too.
Triumph Tiger Explorer
Price/availability: £11,149/now
Power/torque: 135bhp @ 9,000rpm/89lb ft @ 6,400rpm
Top speed: 140mph (electronically restricted)
Fuel tank/range: 4.4 gallons/190 miles (est)
Verdict: The best bike in the class. All it lacks is the kudos and heritage of the R1200GS
Telegraph rating: Five out of five stars
Priced above to a similar spec as the Triumph, the GS is significantly costlier yet it offers less performance. But it has the badge and the image and it's still an excellent and astonishingly versatile motorcycle.
Honda Crosstourer, £11,475
The muscular, creamy V4 is a compelling engine but it's too thirsty and the bike itself is too heavy. Comfort isn't as good as the Triumph, the range is poor and extra equipment limited. Should outlast the pyramids, though.
Kawasaki Versys 1000, £9,499
You must make do with chain drive and a mere 1,043cc engine but the Versys is comfortable, fast and effortless, it comes with ABS and the most sophisticated traction control in the class. It's agile too - and look at the price.
