The Amazon Pink Dolphin's Voice: US to increase anti-poaching efforts as elephants, rhinos die in jaw-dropping numbers
US to increase anti-poaching efforts as elephants, rhinos die in jaw-dropping numbers
Alarmed that rebel militias could be profiting from a sharp increase in the poaching of elephants and rhinos, the U.S. plans to step up efforts to build a global coalition to combat the illegal wildlife trade, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says.
Speaking before animal activists and several international ambassadors, Clinton told a crowd in Washington on Thursday that poachers are using helicopters, night vision goggles and automatic weapons to hunt down wildlife. She wants world leaders to increase their focus on combating the problem and said that she and President Barack Obama will speak to Asian leaders about it next week at the East Asia Summit.
"Some of you might be wondering why a Secretary of State is keynoting an event about wildlife trafficking and conservation," Clinton said on Thursday, before answering her own question: "Over the past few years wildlife trafficking has become more organized, more lucrative, more widespread and more dangerous than ever before."
Elephants across Africa are being slaughtered by the thousands for their ivory tusks, which are shipped to Asia, particularly China, and made into ivory trinkets. In Tanzania alone, 10,000 elephants a year are said to be killed by poachers.
Rhino horns are in great demand globally, particularly in Southeast Asia, ground up for use as alleged aphrodisiacs and in traditional medicines or turned into decorative dagger handles.
Iain Douglas-Hamilton, the founder of Save the Elephants, said Clinton's speech "signifies the will of the United States to tackle the scourge of wildlife poaching and elevates the issue internationally. Now it remains to share awareness with the Chinese and for the U.S. and China to exert joint leadership to lower the demand for ivory before it is too late."
Yao Ming, the oversized basketball star from China, visited Kenya in August to raise awareness in China about the animal deaths required to supply ivory to China's middle class. He is taking part in a film called "The End of the Wild."
Clinton said the U.S. will reach out to leaders around the world to forge a consensus on wildlife protection. The U.S. also plans to launch initiatives and expand and strengthen enforcement of wildlife laws. She noted with regret that the U.S. is the second-largest destination market for illegally trafficked wildlife.
Elsewhere on Friday, a South African court sentenced a Thai national to 40 years for selling rhino horns. Chumlong Lemtongthai pleaded guilty to paying prostitutes who posed as hunters to harvest rhino horns, which were then sold on Asia's traditional medicine market, according to the South African Press Association. At least 458 of South Africa's endangered rhinos have been illegally killed this year _ a record number.

My husband and I are trying to get our fill of summer cherries before they're all gone (that is until next summer). There's nothing quite like fresh sweet cherries and we've been eating them after dinner every night. But I thought I'd shake things up a bit and bake with some of them instead. I used a combination of bing and rainier cherries in my galette. I've never baked with fresh cherries before much less needed to pit so many en masse. So I dug out my never used high volume cherry pitter that I bought on clearance many years ago. The pitter was a fun gadget and it pretty worked well too, but there was cherry juice splattered all over the front of my apron and the kitchen countertop too. I guess that can't be avoided when the cherries are so plump and juicy.
If you use store bought puff pastry like I did (or have a stash of homemade like I'm sure some of you do), it comes together pretty quickly. The cherries went really well with the almond filling (which is also really easy to mix up if you use store bought almond meal). Overall, the galette was not too sweet and made for a very nice dessert with coffee. And the cherries are my "red" for the 18th installment of the "Weekend Cookbook Challenge: Red and White" being hosted by Sara at I Like to Cook. I'm so happy that I can participate in my very first WCC!
Cherry Frangipane Galette
(adapted from Martha Stewart's Baking Handbook)
2/3 cup almond meal (ground almonds)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 tsp salt
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg
1 - 18 ounce package of store bought puff pastry (has 2 sheets)
2 pounds fresh sweet cherries (weigh then remove stems and pits)
Egg wash:
1 large egg yolk
1 tbsp heavy cream or milk
To sprinkle over the top:
1 tbsp granulated sugar
Preheat oven to 425F. Combine almond meal, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Mix in the butter then the egg until mixture is smooth.
On a sheet of parchment paper, roll out each sheet of puff pastry to about 1/8-inch thick keeping a squareish shape. In a small bowl, whisk egg yolk and heavy cream and brush over the surface. Fold up the edges to create a 1-inch edge (you can just fold it or crimp it). Prick dough all over with a fork (but don't prick the edges). Transfer parchment and pastry to a large baking sheet. Freeze until firm, about 15 minutes.
Spread half the almond filling in an even layer on each piece of chilled pastry. Arrange the cherries in a single layer over the almond filling. Freeze for another 15 minutes.
Bake the galettes for 15 minutes at 425F. Sprinkle the 1 tbsp granulated sugar over the galettes and continue to bake until the edges are golden brown, about 5-10 minutes. Transfer the galettes (with the parchment) to cool on a rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

The legislation on raising the debt ceiling and funding the government is out. And there's some interesting items tucked in.
Here's some dry language from the legislation:
- SEC. 123. Section 3(a)(6) of Public Law 100–676 is amended by striking both occurrences of ''$775,000,000'' and inserting in lieu thereof, ''$2,918,000,000''
What's that? Turns out, the dry language is quite wet: it's a dam project along the Ohio River, in Kentucky. Click here for a favorable write-up from the Kentucky Corn Growers Association.
Hmm, who negotiated the bill? Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, of course, but also Sen. Minority Leader Mitch McConnell — of Kentucky.
That's got some on the right fired up.
"It's the Kentucky Kickback," says this post from the Senate Conservatives Fund. "In exchange for funding Obamacare and raising the debt limit, Mitch McConnell has secured a $2 billion earmark. This is an insult to all the Kentucky families who don't want to pay for Obamacare and don't want to shoulder any more debt."
The SCF has tangled quite a bit with McConnell, and it's expected to endorse Matt Bevin in the Republican primary in Kentucky next year.
Update: Reid was asked about the provision after the vote. He maintained that it was not an earmark and will save Americans money, since they won't have to cancel contracts.
Second update: Taxpayers for Common Sense provides more explanation. The project ran into cost-containment caps that stipulate if a project exceeds 120% of its authorized cost, it has to be reauthorized. Its current cost cap is $1.7 billion, the group says. Project funding will have to come from subsequent appropriations.
They did criticize it, however. "Even though the project was about to run out of authorization, this provision should not have been included in such a consequential piece of legislation," they said.

Words by Sean Moeller, Illustration by Johnnie Cluney, Recording engineered by Mike Gentry
The first layer of most Aunt Martha songs is a combination of rusted pine needles, a fallen night and sunken spirits, along with a red moon that's looking down on a small, isolated place getting hit with the kinds of temperatures that make engines refuse to start. You're going to need a pretty thick coat to get through the outer parts of the songs, but by the time you've gotten to the middles of them, someone's made a nice enough fire that you'll be okay for a while, before reality sets in, we've all outstayed our welcomes and we know we have to drag our bodies back through the woods, back out into that cold, to get back to our cars - which may or may not start when we want them to. We've already been through that possibility. The band from the rural town of Wilmot, New Hampshire, takes us to these cold nights out of habit and it takes us out and into the kinds of intense, but supple conditions that bring forth the feelings of inadequacy, or a general feeling of disconnection. We're out there in the middle of an inspiring chunk of land - with wood smoke as a fragrance and the hollow thrum of our worrisome thoughts and problems. With enough distance and time, we can be swept away in a sea of cumulative slips, gaffs, quarrels, loves and triumphs.
When you get out there, to those places that Aunt Martha and lead singer Tim Noyes seem to spend most of their time, you're without the artifice and you're stuck with yourself. You can think about the man or woman you've become and wonder where you went wrong and still consider the small things that you might have done right along the way, if you're willing to cut yourself any small piece of slack. You see those people that you grew up with - those who grew up in the same house as you did, those with as close to the same blood as you have and those who you met at the oddest of times. There are those that you still think about, wonder how they're doing, if they have a family now, wonder what their wife is like, or wonder if they finally got around to treating themselves the way they should have always treated themselves and started being with men who would treat them right, eventually getting happen. Then there are those whom you've forgotten about forever and the same goes for you in their minds.
It takes some time to become what you're going to become and sometimes it never fully happens. It just means that more walks are in order. It means more hours and more solitary confinement - of a sort - is going to be needed to work through all of the stinking questions that swarm and buzz. Noyes has obviously thought about the sunken nights and the people that he's known, loved and been since he can remember. Perhaps living in a place where everyone knows everyone - can't avoid them, really - allows you to delve deeper into the makeup of some people, yourself included. Maybe it's more important to do such a thing in places like that. "Bloodshot," is a song that stirs your soul. Its words so poignant that they should almost be quoted in full, to corroborate the beauty that a close look can bring out in a man. Noyes sings, "They tell me a man is just the sum of his parts/Well I'm body and blood and a terrible heart/And it all adds up to every different person I've been/I wanted to crash your party but I couldn't find your house/I wanted to touch your body and kiss you on the mouth/Bloodshot/What do you want?/I know that you see me as a younger man/But cities and countries they had other plans/And we all grow up, what do you think you're gonna grow back?/The people around me they're not my friends/You can do what you want/I'd rather pretend/Cause nobody should be lonely/Everyone needs people like that." Nothing can last here and "everyone you know is living at home in a gutted out basement," but what should anyone be running from if the only thing we really need to run from is our disruptive self and damn if that ain't an impossibility.

Welcome to the New Dinosaur Hall!
To view details about some of the features of the Dinosaur Hall, please use your mouse to roll-over the map of the exhibition hall.
The imposing, never-before-displayed Triceratops greets visitors as they enter the exhibition at the start of the 1920s Gallery.
The largest specimen on view in the Dinosaur Hall is this cast of a long-necked Mamenchisauraus.
T. rex Growth Series
The stunning centerpiece of this gallery is the Tyrannosaurus rex growth series, featuring a baby, juvenile, and sub-adult T. rex and is the only series of its kind in the world.
Stegosaurus & Allosaurus
Stegosaurus is an armored dinosaur with a back covered in large plates and with large spikes on its tail. This Stegosaurus is mounted fighting with the predator Allosaurus. Allosaur fossils have been found that show wounds from Stegosaurus spikes, which is why they're posed the way they are in the Dinosaur Hall. Long before T. rex, Allosaurus was a top predator in North America in the late Jurassic period.
Head Gear
Continental Drift
Platecarpus plaque
Fossil Wall
Adjacent to the Triceratops is a 43-foot-wall artfully showcasing 100 diverse dinosaur specimens such as bones, teeth, eggs, footprints, skin patches, and coprolites (fossilized droppings).

Crepes with Strawberries and Cream Recipe
How to make the best meal of the week even better.
Buttery crepes with sweet cream and fragrant strawberries.
- Yield:Serves 4
- Active time: 25 minutes
- Total time:25 minutes
- For the Crepes:
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 tablespoon melted butter, divided
- 1 cup (5 ounces) all purpose flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- For the Strawberries and Cream:
- 1 1/2 pounds (24 ounces) strawberries, quartered
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon orange liquer (like triple sec)
- 1 cup (1/2 pint) whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar
For the Strawberries and Cream: Combine cream and sugar in a large bowl. Using a hand blender or a whisk, whisk cream and sugar together until cream reaches stiff peaks. Cover and keep cool in the fridge.
Place strawberries, sugar, and orange liqueur in a bowl, toss so the strawberries are coated, then allow to sit on the counter while you assemble the crepes.
For the Crepes: Whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons melted butter. In a separate bowl whisk together flour, a pinch of salt, and sugar. Whisk wet ingredients into dry ingredients until no lumps remain.
Using a heat-proof pastry brush, brush a 10-inch nonstick skillet with butter, then heat over heat until the butter begins to sputter. Add just under 1/4 cup of batter to the pan, then swirl the pan until the batter coats as much of the bottom of the pan as possible. Cook until batter begins to brown, about 1 minute. Using a rubber spatula, flip the crepe and cook until the other side is brown, about 1 minute. Remove from pan and repeat with remaining batter.
Place 2 to 3 crepes on each plate and divide strawberries and a dollop of cream. Fold crepe in half and serve.

I fitted this battery to a series three diesel land rover that is used solely for moving materials around a 40 acre estate. The battery is kept topped up by a small solar panel. As one may gather, the use is hard on the battery because the vehicle is never driven for a long enough time to allow the alternator to charge the battery at a high current. A rough rule of thumb is that you have to drive for half an hour to replace the charge used to start the engine. This never happens in this case.
However for the past year and a half the land rover has always started first time and given no trouble.

The Truth about the Minimum Wage
Scripted, animated, and produced by Steve Patterson. Special thanks to Julia Patterson and Chuck Grimmett.
Want to learn more? Here are some resources about the economics of the minimum wage: http://www.fee.org/the_freeman/detail/the-truth-about-the-minimum-wage#a...
People don't like to think that anyone's labor is worth less than the minimum wage. Someone might end up flipping burgers for $5.00 an hour. You might think the minimum wage is a way of paying some sort of dignity premium -- hence language like "living wage." People with such good intentions look at the direct beneficiaries of these policies, say, burger flippers now making $7.50 an hour. They pat themselves on the back. But they rarely count the invisible costs: willing human beings who never get hired in the first place.
But $5.00 an hour is not enough to live on!, they'll say. For whom? A teenager living at home with his parents? An elderly person who wants simply to stay active? A single mom with three kids? A single woman sharing an apartment with 2 roommates? Of course, not all of these people could live off of $5 an hour. But some of them could given the opportunity. Concerns about those who couldn't don't justify minimum wages even if we ignored the invisible costs of the policy, which include reduced margins to businesses that might otherwise grow (and hire more people).
In other words, if you pull take off the bottom two rungs of the income ladder, many will never climb it. That's the effect of the minimum wage.

LONDON (Reuters) - Graphic artist Storm Thorgerson, who designed the cover for Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side of the Moon" album and also created artwork for Led Zeppelin and Genesis in their heydays, has died aged 69 from cancer.
Thorgerson was a teenage friend of Pink Floyd's founding members and became their main designer. His most famous work is the prism and rainbow stripe on the "The Dark Side of the Moon", which marked its 40th anniversary last month.
It was voted the greatest album cover of all time in a poll by website musicradar.com last year. Pink Floyd's "Animals" cover, in which Thorgerson depicted a pig flying over London's Battersea power station, came 10th.
"He has been a constant force in my life, both at work and in private, a shoulder to cry on and a great friend," Pink Floyd guitarist and singer David Gilmour said in a statement.
"The artworks that he created for Pink Floyd from 1968 to the present day have been an inseparable part of our work."
"The Dark Side of The Moon", one of the best-selling albums of all time, was released in Britain in 1973 and became the band's first No. 1 album in the United States.
As well as working with Pink Floyd, the British designer created artwork for a list of musicians including Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Genesis, and, more recently, the Cranberries and Anthrax.
Thorgerson's family said in a statement that he died peacefully on Thursday, surrounded by family and friends.

Tesla Motors Chief Executive and co-founder Elon Musk started off his week on Monday by tweeting an announcement that, from anyone else, would have sounded like a tease for a bad sci-fi movie.
"Will publish Hyperloop alpha design by Aug 12. Critical feedback for improvements would be much appreciated."
If you still think electric cars or rocket ships are cool, you haven't been keeping up with Musk. His "hyperloop" is a proposed "really rapid transit system" that he says will be able to get a passenger from San Francisco to Los Angeles in a half-hour. That would mean travel at 800 miles per hour, or about twice the speed of conventional aircraft.
He has been a little vague on how this works, except to say recently that the concept is "a cross between a Concorde, a railgun, and an air-hockey table."
Also, he says it will be impossible to crash, always available on demand, way less expensive than current travel options and, ideally, solar-powered.
Remember, this isn't Donald Trump talking trash. This is Elon Musk, who has already changed the nature of money, as a co-founder of PayPal, the electronic payments system.
Since selling PayPal to eBay EBAY, -0.98% , Musk has served as CEO of SpaceX, which is in the business of building rocket ships and spacecraft. The company, which he co-founded, is now under contract with NASA to service the International Space Station.
Of greater interest to today's investors, though, is Musk's role as co-founder, CEO, and CTO of Tesla Motors TSLA, -4.35% , the venture that is proving that building all-electric vehicles can be a profitable business.
We'll find out how profitable it is right now on July 22, when Tesla announces its earnings results for the second quarter. The stock, which just made a splashy debut on the Nasdaq-100 Index NDX, +0.62% , has zoomed from $25.52 to $133.26 in a bit less than a year.
That's the kind of price increase that makes for warnings about a bubble market.
But Musk says Tesla is just getting started. His real goal is to produce electric cars at an increasingly economical price. The first Tesla model, launched in 2008, was a roadster with a base price of about $70,000.
At an event for Tesla owners over the weekend, Musk said the company hopes to ship 800 vehicles per week by the end of 2014. It has added a second model, Model S, and has a minivan in the works for next year.
If you think this is sufficient innovation for an entrepreneur who is, after all, only 42 years old, wait until he unveils his plans for what he calls "the fifth mode of transportation," alongside trains, planes, cars and boats.
Speculation is rife about what exactly this mode of transportation could be. Blogger Brian Dodson, who really is a rocket scientist, explains how he thinks it might work, based on the sparse information available.
In short, it sounds like the hyperloop might be a kind of pneumatic tube for people. Musk has to be one of the few people on Earth who could suggest such an idea without getting laughed at.
Ironically, the concept, like that of an electric car, isn't new. Pneumatic tube systems, which use compressed air to move objects through a tube connecting fixed points, are still in use in some industries, but were more common in the late 19th century. In their early years, there was speculation that the technology could be used to transport people, but nobody ever proved it.
Musk hasn't promised proof at this point, just an "alpha design." But he has said that he will make the design available as "open source," and that he will not seek any patents for it.

Grae's Rating:
I no longer want to kill Adam Sandler.
Perhaps it's just that the pier of my soul has been battered, weakened, and left dispirited by decades of getting pummeled by the waves of the Happy Madison films. Or maybe I am officially old and waxing nostalgic for what's "from my day." More than likely, it's that when Adam Sandler hires a solid team (director Sean Anders of Sex Drive and writer David Caspe of Happy Endings) to make yet another film about a weirdo-badass-with-a-heart-of-gold, it makes me laugh like I did the first time I saw Billy Madison. Now, someone could say the words Just Go with It and Jack and Jill to me and I won't try to punch their lights out.
The reason my eyes almost broke from rolling so much while watching Sandler's last two pictures is that I don't want to be subjected to seeing him as a relatively cool, super-rich guy with a hot wife/girlfriend. Thankfully, this time he's back to his old tricks as Donny, who as a skinny, dumb, acid-washed jean-wearing teenager, managed to score with his ridiculously hot teacher Mrs. McGarricle (Eva Amurri Martino). In the adolescent fantasy world of Happy Madison productions, he becomes a superstar with his own Made for TV movie…and their love child son to raise, which he names Han Solo Berger (Andy Samberg).
Years after turning 18 and high-tailing it out of there, Han Solo has changed his name to Todd and is getting married to Jamie (Leighton Meester). It's the big weekend of their wedding at his rich bosses' home, so all of the quirky characters necessary to make this crazy are there--Jamie's brother the Marine (Milo Ventimiglia), the sassy grandma (Peggy Stewart), and the ex-boxer priest (James Caan), just to name a few. Donny sniffs out the wedding and quickly proves how much cooler he is than Todd, pulling beers out of every conceivable hiding place and making a patchwork quilt robe look really, really good. He knows Vanilla Ice (played expertly by Vanilla Ice) too. And they have a special hand shake.
The conceit that you never really see how cool your parents are until you're older keeps getting more and more exaggerated, and that's why the movie is so funny and relatable. By the time the guys head out for Todd's bachelor party, I was almost worried over how much I was enjoying this experience. It was like the joy of The Wedding Singer and Happy Gilmore combined with yet another great wig sitting there like a cherry on top of a gorgeous sundae. Of course, it's no Punch Drunk Love, but you gotta pay the bills somehow. I get it.

People Who Got Shorter Sentences Than Bradley Manning: Spies Selling Secrets To Russians & Active Terrorists
from the disproportionate deptBy now, of course, you've heard that Bradley Manning received a sentence of 35 years, and lots of people are arguing over whether or not this is reasonable. In fact, we've even seen some people arguing that he got off easy. Okay, well, let's explore that line of reasoning. Over at the Huffington Post, there's a good article looking at the sentences that eight actual spies received from the US. These are people who actively sold or tried to sell key US secrets to enemies, such as the Russians, as opposed to revealing wrongdoing to the public via the press. Guess what? The actual spies got off with lighter sentences.
Take, for example, the case of David Henry Barnett, a CIA agent who directly sold secrets to the Russians, including but not limited to outing around 30 active CIA agents to the KGB. Oh, and at the urging of the KGB, he also tried to get a job on Capitol Hill in order to get access to more secrets. He was eventually caught and charged with espionage in 1980... and received an 18 year sentence. Got that? Directly sell the identity of CIA agents to the KGB and you get about half the time that Manning got, not for revealing the identity of any intelligence agents, but basically for embarrassing the State Department and the military. That doesn't seem right.
Okay. And how about people, including Americans, who actively tried to hurt America? Remember, Manning made it quite clear his goal was to help America. But that's not true for these five people who joined the Taliban or teamed up with terrorists working on plans to attack America. Those people actively wanted to harm America. And they got shorter sentences.
Or, for a different type of comparison, how about how other countries have treated leakers of key government information? Once again, we discover people who appear to have revealed much more damaging information... and got off with much lighter sentences.
David Hicks: An Australian national who was captured fighting alongside the Taliban and sent to Guantanamo Bay prison in 2002, Hicks plead guilty to material support for terrorism in a Gitmo military commission in 2007 and was sentenced to seven years confinement. That sentence was reduced to nine months given time already served.
John Walker Lindh: Lindh was convicted of a slew of terrorism and conspiracy charges in 2003 for fighting with the Taliban against the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison.
Had he been born in Denmark, he might have gotten four months for disclosing information a Danish court found highly damaging to national security. That's the penalty Danish Defense Intelligence analyst Frank Grevil received in 2005 for disclosing threat assessments concerning Iraq's possession of weapons of mass destruction.In fact, the article notes that, after looking at the laws of 20 European countries, they discovered that while all have criminal penalties for disclosing classified national security info, most have a top penalty of just a few years in jail, so long as the person leaked the information, rather than delivering it directly to a foreign state. In the UK and Great Britain, for example, the longest time allowed under law is two years in prison. France is the most aggressive punisher, where leakers can face up to 7 years in jail.
Or, had he been British, he could have been released after serving seven weeks of a six month sentence, as was David Shayler, the former MI5 member who gave a newspaper 28 security and intelligence files on a variety of topics, including on Libyan links with the IRA, Soviet funding of the Communist party of Great Britain, agents' names and other highly sensitive information.
Or, given his military status, he might have received a sentence of 12 months in jail – the penalty a British judge gave to Navy petty officer Steven Hayden in 1998 for selling significant security and intelligence information to a newspaper concerning a plot by Saddam Hussein to launch anthrax attacks in the UK. That sentence was the heaviest awarded to any of the eight Britons convicted of disclosing sensitive information since the current Official Secrets Act was passed in 1989.
Now, compare that to the truth about Bradley Manning. There's no evidence he put anyone in danger. Nothing he leaked was "top secret" (even though he had top secret clearance). His intent was clear from the beginning and it was not to aid our enemies or to harm America. Yet guess who gets the longer sentence?
Given all of these comparisons, it's difficult to see how the sentence that Manning received is anywhere even close to proportionate or reasonable. It seems fairly obvious: Bradley Manning was not punished so harshly for harming the US. He was punished for embarrassing the government. That's not how things are supposed to happen in an open and free society.

Sometimes I forget.
I get caught up in "This is the most important project I should be working on!" And I forget. And then things go downhill: my mood changes (I feel rotten, don't want to be around people, get sad more often), my attitude changes ("everything sticnks"), my drive and motivation change.
And then, one morning, I wake up and say, "Hey! I haven't exercised all week." What kind of example is this to clients that I've worked with? Whenever I've worked with a coaching client, he/she has "homework" between each session: a Body Exercise as well as a Mind Exercise. Ask any effective coach: the best progress for a client happens between sessions. When people are focused on gradual, deliberate change (often in the same time at the same place: more on this below). There is something to be said for consistency in life. What we do each day is what we can see as results in hindsight.
That's why exercise seems trivial, and at the same time, exercise can decrease depression, anxiety, and stress. Even more interestingly (!), not only can exercise make us healthier, but lack of exercise can make us feel depressed (I searched for the specific result I wanted [that not doing 30 min of exercise per day is linked with increased depression], and cannot find it right now, but will find it for you later and update here; the closest immediate result I found is that lack of exercise is the key between depression and cardiovascular disease).
Just last week, 2,000 adults polled in the UK turned out to not have been exercising enough. This article says that minimum exercise for adults is 30 min per day for five days. Others say 10,000 steps per day is a good metric of exercise. Still other fitness devotees say interval cardio three times a week for 20 minutes each time, and weight lifting three times a week for under an hour.
Whatever your choice of HOW is great as long as the choice is TO DO. I've just returned to my choice of TO DO. I cannot believe I dropped the ball on exercise.
Me who says it's the second most important thing towards happiness here and here.
The last thought as I go back to the large project I'm working on is based on the research by Dr. Wendy Wood at Duke: a habit is something people do at the same time in the same place. Think of brushing your teeth: same time, same exact location. How can you make exercise a habit? For me, it's running when I wake up, and running generally the same path, but with increasing the number of minutes each week. What's your trick?
Great summer to you!
(Or winter if you're in Oz or NZ). :)

Hopper's pictures "deal with America not only on the surface, but dig deep into the American dream, radically examining this profoundly American dilemma of appearances and reality," says the German film maker Wim Wenders, who refers to the great American painter Edward Hopper (1882–1967) in his work like many other artists from Alfred Hitchcock and David Hockney to Paul Auster and Peter Handke. Hardly any twentieth-century artist has succeeded in combining existential artistic claims with an aesthetics that describes everyday life, the individual moment, and the iconography of a place in such a poetical and impressive manner. Regardless of the art fashions of his day, Hopper developed a metarealism transforming the subjective perception of reality into something universal, reflecting the isolation of modern urban man, and exploring new forms of visual narration. The representation and manipulation of space, time, light, and shadow are the essential ingredients guaranteeing Hopper's unbroken topicality in art. His reduced, psychologically charged, and meticulously constructed spaces unfold a lasting tension between the real and the fictitious, specific moments and duration, intimacy and anonymity, nature and civilization.
Edward Hopper: Western Motel, 1957Yale University Art GalleryBequest of Stephen Carlton Clark, B.A, 1903
From Ed Ruscha's stereotype condensations of the American myth and Rachel Whiteread's and David Claerbout's investigations of space-time coordinates to the homelessness of present-day existence as mirrored in Philip-Lorca diCorcia's and Tim Eitel's work, Hopper's oeuvre finds its echo in the exhibition's contemporary positions. Hopper's works continue to describe the state of today's world, his cinematographic view providing the starting point for narrative inventions and imaginations in space and time.
Participating artists: Edward Hopper and David Claerbout, Dawn Clements, Jonas Dahlberg, Thomas Demand, Gustav Deutsch, Philip-Lorca diCorcia, Tim Eitel, Jim Jarmusch, Rachel Khedoori, Mark Lewis, Ed Ruscha, Markus Schinwald/Oleg Soulimenko, Jeff Wall, Rachel Whiteread

Reunion 'Cooks' With Books
March 11, 2006
Twelve alumni from Lewis & Clark's Lambda Phi Epsilon fraternity, along with family and friends, traveled to the Cook Islands in the South Pacific for a reunion in July 2005. The celebration was the third reunion for the fraternity brothers, who have met every five years since 1995.
During this trip, participants donated more than 12 boxes of books to a local library in Rarotonga. Michael Powell, owner of Powell's Books in Portland, matched the number of books collected by members.
The fraternity's next reunion is slated for 2010 in Hawaii. Lambda Phi Epsilon, which was formed by 12 varsity football team members in 1946, was active on campus until 1977.

The AAFP and other physician-led organizations are urging CMS to apply a number of protections before potentially releasing individual Medicare physician claims data. These protections should help ensure that claims data are used fairly and accurately and in a way that promotes improvements in the nation's health care system, say the organizations.
In a Sept. 5 letter(8 page PDF), the AAFP, the AMA and dozens of other physician-led organizations urge CMS to partner with physicians to develop policies on the release of individual physician claims data. "Our goal is to promote efforts focused on improving the quality of patient care while safeguarding against potential abuses that could negatively impact health care outcomes or diminish the privacy of Medicare physicians and patients," says the letter.
"Given the potential for security breaches, hackers, or efforts to re-identify information, we urge CMS to consider the potential impact of any data release on patient privacy and engage with experienced data statisticians, physician organizations and other relevant stakeholders on ways to further protect such data."
The AAFP and the other organizations are calling for steps to "ensure that the release of data does not mislead the public into making inappropriate and potentially harmful health care treatment decisions."
"Individual Medicare payment information should be presented together with quality (i.e., clinical) information, encouraging and facilitating value-based decision-making by consumers. If quality information is not available, cost and price information should be presented in a context that raises the importance of considering quality in decisions about providers, treatments and health care services."
In the letter, the organizations underscore their support for efforts to increase the quality of care and efficient use of resources in health care delivery, and they acknowledge that "greater access to Medicare data may be necessary to expand new delivery models and transform the existing payment system."
"Consequently, we urge CMS to engage with physicians and focus on care quality given that obstacles to this data may be blocking improvements to our health care system."
However, the groups also point out that "If not approached thoughtfully, release of individual physician payment data to anyone for any purpose can have unintentional, adverse consequences for patients, providers, and the health care system. For any data release program, safeguards must be in place to ensure that neither false nor misleading conclusions are derived from this information."
The groups ask CMS to
- focus on efforts to improve health care quality;
- ensure data are accurate by educating those accessing the information;
- allow physicians to review and correct any errors; and
- follow existing safeguards, including appropriate risk-adjustment and attribution methods, for any public reports that use the information.
"Raw Medicare claims data is a crude metric for assessing the quality of medical care," says the letter. "When used in isolation, this data ignores the more important clinical factors that affect patients, including case mix, comorbidities, and other patient characteristics. These deficiencies are exacerbated by the fact that Medicare claims constitute only a portion of services performed by many physicians.
"For these reasons, we discourage public reporting of claims data without any relevant quality information or the inclusion of other payer sources. CMS must safeguard attempts to mischaracterize the data or emphasize volume as an indicator of quality."

Rodgers excited by Swansea clash
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is relishing a Capital One Cup fourth-round clash with former club Swansea - and is determined the holders will not easily relinquish their grip on the trophy after they defeated West Brom 2-1.
Rodgers made 11 changes for the third-round trip to the Baggies and two goals from on-loan Real Madrid midfielder Nuri Sahin secured a win after Gabriel Tamas had given Albion an early lead. The Reds manager made the switch from the Swans in the summer and was finally able to celebrate his first win in domestic football with his new club.
"The Swansea game will be a special occasion, very much so. It is a wonderful club, a brilliant club, and I was in no rush to leave there," Rodgers said.
"I could only leave there to go to another special club. It will be a great night. I think in the competition you prefer home games so to play Swansea at Anfield, in front of two wonderful sets of supporters, it will be a great night.
"I said to the players afterwards that the cup is stored at Anfield and I don't want to give it up too easy. I want us to fight even thought it is difficult because of our lack of depth in the group.
"It is a competition we want to do well in. Of course, we will be really stretched with the Europa League, Premier League between now and January. But the nature of this club is we want to win every game and, if we get a few young players out of it (the Capital One Cup), it will really help us moving forward."
Baggies manager Steve Clarke, a former assistant boss at Liverpool, admitted the mistake by keeper Ben Foster for the first goal was crucial.
He said: "We said we'd have a go, we certainly started that way. I think their first goal knocked the stuffing out of us a bit. I don't know why, maybe because it was such a soft goal to lose, it knocked us back a bit in the first half.
"It is unusual for Ben. I don't think it's even worth having an in depth discussion about it. It is not like Ben, it doesn't happen very often and we move on.
"After 1-1 they were better, they passed it better, we sat off them too much. The second half was much better, we got about them, we pressed, made a game of it, and the second half could have gone either way."
