For keeping track of issues NOT discussed during the recently-concluded presidential debates, there was NO mention of climate change during the three presidential and one Veep debates. That's the first time that the climate was shut out since 1988.
"President Obama and Governor Romney's failed leadership on climate this election season is beyond words," said Maura Cowley, Executive Director of Energy Action Coalition.
"While President Obama & Mitt Romney joked about horses and bayonets, they stepped back into the dark ages themselves by completely ignoring climate change, one of the most pressing foreign policy issues of the 21st century."
The raw political reason doesn't make sense. Yes, people care about climate change but we know it isn't their top priority.
Meanwhile, "Israel" was mentioned 31 times Monday night.
Let's harken back to the first time when the issue — climate change, not Israel — was mentioned on a national debate stage. The year was 1988…..(cue flashback music)….
"The greenhouse effect is an important environmental issue."
Who said that? Republican Dan Quayle. He even said that "in a George Bush administration, you can bet that we will" get working on solutions.
But now? Green bupkis. Here's the video from 1988:

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - UC Santa Barbara had a solid performance at the Northridge Invitational on Saturday as the Gauchos posted several strong finishes despite sending only a handful of runners.
Freshmen Maxine Goyette and Ali Palmer finished second and third, running the 5k course in 18:16.67 and 18:18.73 respectively. They were the only two Gaucho women in the race. Running unattached, Ashley Beechan was fourth in 18:22.15, Harper Cooksley finished eighth in 18:38.67 and Jessy Hansen was 15th in 18:55.73.
On the men's side, sophomore Andrew Farkas ran a 25:47.13 8k to finish in fifth-place, while freshman Abel Mogesse ran 25:58.19 to place eighth. Another freshman, Shyan Vaziri, was 24th in a time of 26:53.71. Only three UCSB men ran as the rest of the team was at Pre-Nationals in Louisville.
Several other Gaucho men ran unattached in the meet. Freshman Adam Avila finished third in a time of 25:37.08, while Austin Goodheart (26:46.21), Bradford Littooy (26:47.57) and Alec Dominguez (26:48.46) were 21st, 22nd and 23rd.
The Gauchos will return to competition on October 19th at the Fullerton Invitational in Fullerton, Calif.

Get the App That'll Destroy Your Perverted Cell Phone Pics
Maybe just once or twice you've felt the need to send the kind of photo to someone that would completely humiliate you if anyone else saw it. We admit that it can be fun and exciting with the right person but what happens when that person is no longer the right person? What about those "fun" photos then?
Just in case you know someone whose judgment isn't as good as yours, we've found the Snapchat app, which will destroy those photos for him.
You don't have to worry about that any more. Some genius came up with Snapchat. It's a social chat app for your iPhone through which you can now send these rather private pics. They try to make it seem like that's not the purpose of the app, but we know better. You just set up your "buddy" on your contact list in the app, send a pic for your pal to enjoy and then after the amount of time you specify, the spicy photo will be erased from your friend's phone.
The best part is the fact that the photos disappear will only encourage you to send more. The fun will never end, until the fun does end and then you don't have to worry about your fun ending up on the internet with commentary about how your fun was digitally enhanced.

Ignoring an Inequality Culprit: Single-Parent Families
Intellectuals fretting about income disparity are oddly silent regarding the decline of the two-parent family.
Suppose a scientific conference on cancer prevention never addressed smoking, on the grounds that in a free society you can't change private behavior, and anyway, maybe the statistical relationships between smoking and cancer are really caused by some other third variable. Wouldn't some suspect that the scientists who raised these claims were driven by something—ideology, tobacco money—other than science?
Yet in the current discussions about increased inequality, few researchers, fewer reporters, and no one in the executive...

Where can I find a comprehensive source of information on Medicare options in Ohio?
The Ohio Department of Insurance has published a consumer guide, Medicare Supplement Insurance, Medicare Options and Part D.
What is the difference between Medicare and Medicaid?
What are my Medicare coverage options?
Medicare patients have two options in receiving their Medicare benefits: either through Original Medicare or a Medicare Advantage plan. Your out-of-pocket costs vary depending on your plan, coverage and the services you use.
Original Medicare contains what is called Part A (hospital) and Part B (medical) coverage. You can choose to purchase additional insurance such as Medicare supplement insurance (also known as MedSup or Medigap) and Part D prescription drug coverage. Medicare supplement insurance and prescription drug coverage each require a monthly premium in addition to your Part B premium.
Medicare Advantage plans are options approved by Medicare but run by private companies. They are part of the Medicare Program. With Medicare Advantage plans you generally get all your Medicare-covered health care through that plan. Coverage can include prescription drug coverage. You may get extra benefits, such as coverage for vision, hearing, dental, and/or health and wellness programs. You may have to use the plan's doctors and hospitals to get services. You don't need to buy a Medigap policy. These plans may require a monthly premium in addition to your Part B premium.
Am I eligible for Medicare?
Generally, you are eligible for Medicare if you or your spouse worked for at least 10 years in Medicare-covered employment and you are 65 years or older and a citizen or permanent resident of the United States. If you are not yet 65, you might also qualify for coverage if you have a disability or have End-Stage Renal Disease (permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or transplant).
Most people on Medicare do not pay a premium for Part A.
You can get Part A at age 65 premium free if:
While you do not have to pay a premium for Part A if you meet one of these conditions, you must pay for Part B if you want it.
How do I enroll in Medicare?
For some, enrollment is automatic. If you begin receiving Social Security income prior to age 65 or you receive Social Security disability income, your enrollment is automatic. Everyone else must apply through the Social Security Administration.
Those turning age 65 have a total of seven months to enroll. Your Medicare enrollment period starts three months before the month of your 65th birthday. Your enrollment period ends three months after the month of your 65th birthday. If you apply before your birth month, your Medicare coverage should start on the first day of your birth month.
If you don't enroll in Medicare during your initial seven-month enrollment period, you must wait to apply during the next general enrollment period (January through March each year). You may also owe a 10 percent penalty on your Part B premium for each year you delay Part B.
Where can I sign up for Medicaid?
Contact your county Department of Job and Family Services for the proper paperwork to apply for this program. You can visit www.jfs.ohio.gov/ohp for helpful information.
Who can help me understand Medicare?
The Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP) is a program of the Ohio Department of Insurance. Since 1992, OSHIIP's trained staff and network of more than 1,300 volunteers throughout the state have been educating consumers about Medicare and other senior insurance topics such as long-term care insurance. You can call the toll-free OSHIIP hotline at 1-800-686-1578 to talk with a trained representative. You can also read our consumer guide, Medicare Supplemental Insurance, Medicare Options and Part D. Click here to find an OSHIIP volunteer in your area.
Why do I need Medicare supplement insurance?
Original Medicare does not pay all medical expenses. A Medicare supplement policy, also known as MedSup or Medigap insurance, fills most of Medicare's coverage gaps. You can choose from many standardized plans that cover various costs.
How do I determine the quality of a Medicare supplement policy?
By law, the Ohio Department of Insurance cannot rate policies. However, rating services such as A.M. Best Company, Fitch Investors' Service, Standard & Poor, Moody's Investor Service, or Consumer Reports Magazine provide financial and policy holder rating information. Consumers can call OSHIIP - 1-800-686-1578 - with questions.
Are there Medicare Advantage plans in my county?
Each year, private companies offering Medicare Advantage plans must apply to the federal government and meet requirements in order to offer their plans in your area. Some companies choose not to re-apply. That's why it's important to review your options every fall.Consumers should also call OSHIIP - 1-800-6861578 - with questions and visit www.medicare.gov.
Does Medicare cover diabetic supplies?
Medicare covers test strips, lancets, the machine used to test blood sugar levels and outpatient self-management education. It also covers replacement batteries and calibration solution for the machines that require it. Medicare also covers diabetic shoes. Check out Medicare's publication on diabetic coverage.
Does Medicare cover care in a nursing home?
Medicare does not cover long-term care in a nursing home. However, you may be covered for short stays in a skilled-care facility. You must meet certain pre-entrance requirements in order to qualify for benefits. If you're eligible, Medicare will cover skilled care for the first 20 days and a certain amount each day for days 21-100. After 100 days per benefit period, Medicare pays nothing.
Does Medicare cover home health care?
Yes, but only if your doctor orders part-time skilled care and you are homebound. If you meet Medicare's requirements for home health care, it is paid at 100 percent.
Will Medicare pay for outpatient prescriptions, hearing aids, dentures, eyeglasses, etc.?
Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) covers very little with regards to prescription medication. Medicare Part D, which was introduced in 2006, is Medicare's prescription drug benefit. This benefit is available through stand-alone plans or through most Medicare Advantage plans.
Original Medicare also does not cover hearing aids, dental procedures or routine eye exams. Some Medicare Advantage plans will provide some coverage for these extra benefits.
Does Medicare pay for physical therapy?
Yes, Medicare Part B pays 80 percent of the approved amount for outpatient physical therapy up to a maximum. Medicare Part A may also cover physical therapy during inpatient stays.
Can my doctor insist that I pay up front for services before Medicare pays?
Yes, but only if your doctor doesn't accept assignment. If your doctor doesn't accept assignment, he or she cannot charge you more than the Medicare approved amount. If your doctor participates with Medicare, he or she can collect the deductible and copayment.
Who qualifies for Medicaid?
Medicaid is available only to certain low-income individuals and families who fit into an eligibility group that is recognized by federal and state law. Medicaid does not pay money to you; instead, it sends payments directly to your health care providers. See above for enrollment and program information.
Do I need long-term care insurance?
That's a decision only you can make. You should consider your assets, life expectancy, current health, lifestyle, family health history and family support. Please call OSHIIP at 1-800-686-1578 if you have specific questions or read our consumer's guide to long-term care insurance.

Diaz-Aguilar '14 Hopes to Help Latino Kidsby Joceyln Hopkinson '15 • October 4, 2012 Share:
Fans may have noticed a towering presence missing from the Little Giants' defensive line this fall. Junior defensive end Jorge Diaz-Aguilar has seen limited action after he tore his meniscus early in training camp.
"It was just one of those freak accidents," he said. "My cleat got stuck in the ground while my body twisted. I didn't feel a pop but I know something was wrong. I wasn't able to generate any power out of my stance."
The injury caused 6-foot, 6-inch Diaz-Aguilar to miss the rest of training camp and the team's first game. He was cleared to play the following week, but has been eased back into his starting role.
"I do feel better," he said. "I'm not back to 100 percent yet but it's getting there. My knee swells up after practice so I have to ice down a lot. Really, I ice it after any activity involving my knee so I don't take two steps forward and three steps back."
The Kappa Sigma member thinks he's close to full recovery. However, he and the coaches are still being cautious.
"I'll be in the rotation for the Wittenberg game but I don't think I'm starting," he said. "I know I'll endure some pain but I also know my limits. If it gets to the point where I can't complete my assignment, I know it's better for the team that I'm taken out."
Players and coaches are not the only ones to miss seeing Diaz-Aguilar on the field this fall. His mom misses it too. In fact, one of the reasons Diaz-Aguilar chose Wabash was so he could stay close to home so his mom could see him play.
"The combination of academics and athletics here is perfect," the South Bend, IN native said. "All the other schools I considered were either decent at football but didn't have good academics, or they were good in academics but poor in sports."
Diaz-Aguilar is a Psychology major with a Spanish minor. Even though Spanish is his native tongue, his minor is not being used as a GPA booster.
"I want to get into counseling," he explained. "The counseling would be to help Latino kids that struggle with their English. It would also help their parents. I understand what the kids are going through so I could communicate those problems to the parents and try to encourage the parents to get involved in teaching their child English."
His motivation to help Latino boys and girls comes from personal experience. When he was four, his dad found a job in South Bend. Diaz-Aguilar, his father, mother, and sister left their family in Guadalajara, Mexico for northwest Indiana. As a young boy, Diaz-Aguilar and his friends had a difficult time communicating in school.
"I was placed in the ESL class as a boy with a lot of other Latino kids," he said. "I witnessed the struggles my friends and I faced in speaking English. At home, we would only speak Spanish.
"If you told us something in English, we could get it. But when teachers would ask us to apply it and say it back, it was a struggle."
Fortunately for Diaz-Aguilar, he had his mom, Rosalina, to help him learn.
"The reason I can speak English so well now is my mom," he said. "She would take me to her English classes and I would pick up some things. She'd also have me do different exercises and worksheets so I could learn."
Rosalina was more than a teacher to her only son and daughter.
"My dad wasn't really present in my childhood but my mom has always been there for me," Diaz-Aguilar said. "She always stressed to me: god first, then education, then everything else. She works in a church and its congregation is mostly Latino. She's very involved in the community and when she's involved, I'm involved."
For now, Diaz-Aguilar's involvement is the football team and Sphinx Club. He'll be involved in the middle of the action Saturday in an important game at Wittenberg.

Slain Las Vegas officer leaves wife, 3 children
Alyn Beck, 41, one of two Las Vegas police officers slain in an ambush Sunday, had been with the department since 2001 and leaves behind a wife and three children.
He was a senior patrol officer who had taught advanced officer skills training at the Las Vegas police academy.
Tracy Smith, a friend of Beck's, wrote on his blog, "My friend Alyn was a dynamite guy. He was a riot to be around. He was kind and funny. He was capable of ridiculously juvenile behavior but also shockingly profound intellectual depth."
Smith told CNN on Monday, "Alyn was a good person — all he wanted to do was help people. He was a fine guy. We're talking about a guy who on the one hand was a deadly trained weapon, capable of a massive amount of force — strong and powerful. On the other hand, he was tender. He was gentle."
Beck, he wrote, "was an amazing father and a loyal and loving husband" who liked to swim with his kids in the backyard and was overjoyed with becoming a father again, more than a decade after raising his first two children. "He loved going dancing with his wife (a scene I could never fully comprehend!), and surprisingly, he even liked musicals."
He said Beck was a "top-notch cop" who was "the first guy through the door" during raids. "He relished telling stories about busting down the door of white supremacist gangs, about chasing down gang-bangers after a mile-long foot chase, and about consistently outsmarting bad guys. He was the guy you picture when you think of a trained weapon. He was the guy you would want showing up if you were in any kind of danger, because he was fearless and beyond capable."
In a Monday briefing, police said one of the suspects, Jerad Miller, shot Beck's partner, Igor Soldo, at point-blank range as the officers ate lunch, killing him instantly, before shooting Beck dead as he reacted.

MASS KILLINGS: Happen every two weeks
Two Las Vegas police officers were ambushed and killed while eating lunch Sunday by a man and woman who later killed a third person before turning the guns on themselves. A Las Vegas newspaper reports the couple had white supremacy paraphernalia.

With the calendar now on December, I find myself with visions of chili peppers dancing through my head, as it seems time to make another batch of chili. MrsBlue recently picked me up a giant package of ghost peppers (all of an ounce, which I figure is enough to kill our entire village), so I'm over-equipped for the effort, so I'll have to exercise some judgment that I'm not used to, but I have some margin for error, as it's hard to make something too spicy for me, and MrsBlue has me beaten in this regard.

In the sylvan post-apocalypse of Margaret Atwood's MaddAddam, mankind is all but extinct and dreadful puns roam the Earth. Pursued by psychotic Painballers, the one-time employees of the HelthWyzer corporation join with exiles from the Paradice Dome in the overgrown AnooYoo Spa, sustaining themselves on foraged Choco-Nutrinos and Mo'Hair milk. "Why did he do it?" one wails. "The lethal wipeout virus in the BlyssPluss pills?" "Heart like shale," another admonishes his lover. "What you need is a good fracking."
MaddAddam is Atwood's third visit to the weird world she created in Oryx and Crake, a satire that contrasted the last days of an overripe human society with the fresh horrors of the green Eden that replaced it. Set a quarter-century after a global plague, the narrative of Oryx and Crake skipped between the pre-catastrophe world, a Caligulan nightmare of pornography, fast food and science-for-profit, and its successor, a dystopian jungle roamed by GM monster pigs, sorrowful human survivors and the Crakers, singing blue post-people with the brains of a chickpea.
When Oryx and Crake was published, Atwood claimed not to be writing science fiction, which was, she contended, all "monsters and spaceships", but speculative fiction, which "could really happen". Since her book appeared in the same year that the first genetically modified pet, the fluorescent Glofish, went on sale, this was at least arguable; but it was widely seen as simple logic-chopping over an unfashionable shelf mark, since its author was clearly making delighted use of several tropes from a genre that had no qualms about calling itself science fiction. These ranged from the facetious punning names, which go back at least as far as Philip K Dick's wonder drugs Can-D and Chew-Z, to the Brunneresque reductio ad absurdum of contemporary obsessions (YouTube for decapitations, an assisted-suicide livestream) and, most importantly, the freedom to concentrate on social lampoonery and world-building at the expense of character.
Like Gulliver's Travels, from which it took an epigraph, Oryx and Crake's effects depended as much on allegory as on entertainment: its weird science could be traced directly back to contemporary advances in genetics, while the grotesqueries of its pre-apocalypse society were clearly designed as bilious commentary on our own.
The sequel, The Year of the Flood, offered the disconcerting spectacle of an author trying to construct a plausible world out of materials seemingly designed for parody alone. Where the first book had presented the lonely adventures of the last man on Earth, the second discovered another band of eco-cultist survivors who had also dodged the plague, only to find themselves besieged by murderous escapees from a gladiatorial prison system.
This is the story that MaddAddam sets itself to continue, and the results are just as peculiar; rather as though Gulliver's reports from Laputa and the land of the Houyhnhnms had been expanded to multivolume adventures with a love interest and a cast of sidekicks.
Like its predecessor, this last volume never quite succeeds in establishing its world as something more than an authorial toy, while Atwood's clear interest in the interiority of her characters is persistently undercut by the parodic demands she places on the setting. What began in Oryx and Crake as excruciating black comedy is now dulled to a kind of invasive jocularity, and the barbs at current affairs are getting less and less subtle, with far-future characters reflecting incongruously on "those riots they used to show in the documentaries of the early 21st century, when kids would join phone-swarms and then break windows and mob shops" and so on.
What's left of the satire bites hardest when it circles the exploitation of women. Where Oryx and Crake introduced us to HottTott, a globally popular child porn website, MaddAddam offers Tudor-style beheading booths that make literal the vicious incitements of 21st-century porn ("Mary Queen of Scots: Feel This Hot Red-Head Spurt!"). The genetically engineered Crakers mate by gangbang, with four "fourfathers" piling on smilingly available womenfolk, and there are horrid consequences when human females are introduced to the mix. Rape and sexual threat are the constants of this apocalypse, overtly or covertly present in every character's backstory, and Atwood's blank portrayal of brutalised women having to rethink the rules of subjection constitutes the troubling dark heart of MaddAddam. The rest of it seems to be having too much fun.

So I get this ad that pops up, plays a song, Singin' "We are the police we are the police"
But it sounds to me..."We are the bullies, we are the bullies."
'Cause they are just a bunch of bullies.
No doubt the NSA and their team of elite jews is tracking me and sending me a message, I don't give a shit.
Never said I was committing any crimes, just that IF there were no laws and rules, I'd do a lot of things I wanted to do.
But I intend to obey the rules.
You big bully.
Guess you have to domesticate every little thing don't you...breed out anyone with a backbone or violent tendencies is my guess, genepool of cucks and slaves is what you want.

I apologize for not posting on the Wall for the longest time, but yes, I'm still alive (just been busy with Themify). Today I have an awesome post to share — 30 great interactive sites. HTML5, CSS3, and Javascript have opened up many design possibilities. Web design nowadays is very interactive, it is no longer limited by static layouts. The 30 sites listed below demonstrate great examples of interactive web design. It ranges from simple transition effect to cool parallax scrolling to rich media presentation such as music audio and videos. Enjoy!
Bienville Capital Management
The Bienville Capital Management site offers seamless transition between pages. Try to click around the site and you will notice there is no redirection when navigating to different pages. The page transits smoothly with fading and sliding animation
Tool of North America
The background's blurry effect is particularly stunning on the Whiteboard site. To see it yourself: narrow your browser to mobile breakpoint or check it on a mobile device and click on the menu icon, the background will be transformed with the blur effect.
Simply beautiful illustrations presented with parallax scrolling! Check out the Parallax theme if you like parallax scrolling effect.
Mahedine Yahia
The main background animation on Mahedine's site consists of 191 images (each image is about 56kb file size, 470 x 264px). It produces frame-by-frame animation effect as you scroll.
Life of Pi
The Life of Pi jorney site has taken parallax scrolling and frame-by-frame animation to another level. If you like the movie, you will definitely enjoy scrolling on their site. It shows you behind the scene materials in frame-by-frame animation as you scroll. The result is breath-taking with just over 100 images with heavy Javascript and CSS3 work.
Each story (post) on Teehan+Lax is beautifully crafted with great attention to details. The content is presented with beautiful typesetting and subtle animation effects (eg. check these two posts). In case you are not aware of this minor UX detail: when you are at the middle of the page, notice the top nav bar slides down when you scroll up and it slides up again when you scroll down. The logic makes perfect sense. When you scroll down, you probably want to continue to read, so you don't want the nav bar to obstruct your reading area. When you scroll up, the nav bar appears in case you want to jump to another page.
Coffee Surfing illy
The page transition on Coffee Surfing illy site is not as seamless as the Bienville Capital Management site as mentioned above, but the half page scrolling is interesting. When you scroll, the page is divided in half and scroll in opposite direction.
Satorisan has a very nice shop design. The shop main page allows you to view all products in a scrollable/draggable horizontal list. Clicking on any product will transit to the product detail page with parallax scrolling effect.
Wink TTD
Wink did an awesome job on their responsive and interactive website. Whether you are viewing the site on a large iMac screen or a tiny iPhone display, the design and animation is very consistent.
From design to interaction, the Solasie site is two thumbs up. It was pleasant browsing on the site to enjoy the rich media content (gallery images, music, and videos). The only problem is the SEO and accessibilty issue. The content is not indexable and the page URLs can not be shared because the pages are queried with Ajax. This is a common problem with sites relying on Ajax to display the content, but they often provide anchor tags in the URL bar for sharing pages.
REI 1440 Project
The timeline presentation on the REI 1440 site is very suitable for their concept, "minute-by-minute" timeline making up a 24-hour period. You can use the arrow keys to navigate through the timeline which saves time from moving your mouse and clicking. Try out their clock time selector — from design concept to technical execution, all were done excellently!
The text masking on the navigation menu is a nice touch to the site.
Anonymous agency not only makes good design, but they present their portfolio well. The portfolio images were masked with silhouette of faces — very cute! The portfolio expander might seem like it is pulled with Ajax, but they are actually separate pages. Also, notice the tiny detail of the year bubble tooltip as you scroll through the portfolio items?
Beatbox Academy
The Beatbox Academy lets you create drum beats by hitting certain keys on your keyboard. It doen't really serve any other purposes (you can not save or export the beats), but it is fun. The parallax scrolling on the site is nicely done though.
Quartz puts the center focus on the content. Unlike most news/editorial sites where they force you to click on the article to read full story, Quartz displays all articles with full content on one page. As you scroll through the articles, the address bar automatically updates the URL (good for sharing articles). Their mobile breakpoint provides the same browsing experience as on the desktop.
Evans Halshaw - Bond Cars
If you are a parallax scrolling lover, this Bond Cars site by Evens Halshaw is a must see.
Zurb Manifesto
Another parallax scrolling site.
Peugeot Hybrid4
If you think the above parallax scrolling sites are cool, wait until you see the Peugeot Hybrid4 site below — nice illustrations, keyframe animation, awesome sound effects, and great transition. Don't forget to turn on your speakers while checking the site.
Chrysler: Test of Ownership
Chrysler's Test of Ownership site is another good example of page transition. The page layout/content transits nicely when switching different pages. Not to mention the beautiful animation on the Proof page. Scrolling down will animate the numbers, charts, and bars. Scrolling up will reverse the animation. Simple, but cool.
As you scroll on the Tinke site, it shows you a complete walk-through of the product, all in action! Unfortunately, it is not responsive.

I think the husband who loves bacon probably thinks I'm crazy at this point. Luckily, he tends to put up with my crazy food escapades as long as he gets fed. About a week ago, a box appeared in our breezeway emblazoned with the Amazon logo. Hoping it was a treat for him, I had to inform him that no, it's not anything for him, but a stove-top smoker. Never in my life did I think I'd be purchasing a stove top smoker, but I opened that box like a kid on Christmas, throwing wrapping everywhere.
Inside, a shiny small Cameron stove-top smoker and a package of 5 different kinds of smoking chips. Seriously, there was no reason to buy so many smoking chips, but in general, I go overboard on things I'm excited about. Live to extremes, much? Anyhoo, it was all purchased for this month's Charcutepalooza challenge of smoking. I'd have to say it comes up as my second favorite challenge so far (I really loved making bacon). I love a good, smoky flavor to pretty much anything - pork, salmon, even cheese.
You know what else I like? I enjoy pairing foods with booze. Isn't that an eloquent way of putting it? I felt a good smoked pork would play very nicely with bourbon. Well heck, what *doesn't* pair nicely with bourbon? I also enjoy a little bit of kick to my food, so I needed something spicy for this. Not too spicy, however, and it also had to be a little sweet. A little sweet chili sauce ended up doing just the trick. So I had the beginnings of some kind of marinade going here. I tossed a few other things in a massive Ziploc bag (fear not, actual recipe to follow), and threw our friend, a small pork loin roast, in there.
This is a recipe best planned ahead for. Ideally, you want to let that piece of porky goodness marinate for 24 hours. In a pinch, 6 would be OK, but you really want that bourbon flavor to come through, especially after smoking. Once it's soaked up all that flavor, you want to pat it dry. It's very important what you smoke is dry, otherwise the smoke won't stick. I did all this, then I got my wood chips out.
Now you could go "double-bourbon" flavor here if you have bourbon soaked wood chips. I did not, so I went classic and chose hickory chips for this endeavor. The smell of those things is seriously intoxicating.
Here's where I diverged from the road more often traveled. Most recipes for smoking a pork loin will tell you to trim the fat off first. I've never done well with a piece of pork that didn't have the fat still on it. It imparts flavor and moistness. No worries about the smoke, it'll stick just fine, and permeate that entire roast. I'll give you the smoking time down below, but you'll have to finish this one off in the oven. Smoking simply won't get it done the entire way. I was, however, crazy impressed with the Cameron stove-top smoker. It smoked perfectly, was a breeze to clean-up afterward and worked just right. I highly suggest it if you think you'll be doing a bit of smoking. Just please remember to take that baby outside to open it up initially. Otherwise, your kitchen will smell like hickory for a good few days.
So what's your reward after all this hard work? Look at that beautiful caramel-colored crust on that pork. It's beautiful, and I promise it tastes WAY better than it looks. It's smoky, sweet and hearty. It ended up being a perfect Sunday dinner in our house. It also ended up convincing the bacon-loving husband that I'm not entirely crazy because the food, well, it usually turns out absolutely fabulous.
Spicy Bourbon Smoked Pork
Serves: 6-8
1 2-pound pork loin roast
1 cup bourbon
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sweet chili sauce (Frank's has a version, there also a ton of Thai versions)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
hickory smoking chips
Combine all bourbon through cayenne pepper in a large Ziploc bag or container (large enough to hold your pork loin) and shake until combined. Place your roast in the bag and marinate in the fridge 24 hours (you can do 6-12 in a pinch), flipping a couple of times so the marinade covers the entire piece of meat.
Once the pork is marinated, take out of bag and pat dry and set aside. Get your stove top-smoker going. (If you don't have either, you can do this with a wok or grill, see an explanation here). Place 1 1/2 tablespoons of hickory smoking chips in the bottom of your smoker. Place your foil-wrapped (easier for clean-up) drip tray on top and then put your oiled up (again easier for clean-up) rack on top of the drip tray. You can now put your pork roast on the rack and close the smoker up (see your manual for specific instructions).
Set your stove-top burner to medium and place the entire smoker on top. Turn exhaust fan to high. You will notice a whisp or two of smoke escape as the chips start to smolder. If you're noticing a lot of smoke escaping, consult your manual as to how to "tweak" the smoker so its seal is a bit tighter. Smoke pork loin for 35 minutes.
While your pork loin is smoking, preheat your oven to 375 degrees. Once the pork is done smoking, take your smoker outside (being VERY careful, it's hot) and open the lid to let the smoke escape. Transfer smoker, minus the lid, into the oven (make sure your version is oven safe, otherwise transfer to a roasting pan or dish), and bake until brown, about 25 minutes or until your thermometer registers 165 degrees.
Take out of oven, tent foil over the top and allow to rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve over Mashed Maple Sweet Potatoes and with Spicy Mustard Cream Sauce (both recipes below)
Mashed Maple Sweet Potatoes
Serves: 6-8
3-pound sweet potatoes (about 3-4 large)
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
dash of pepper
1/2 cup heavy cream (you can substitute milk if you'd like)
Boil sweet potatoes until tender, about 35 minutes. Drain and set aside until cool enough to handle, but still warm. Peel sweet potatoes and transfer back into a large dutch oven. Over medium heat, add the rest of the ingredients and mash until you reach your desired consistency. Heat through until warm.
Spicy Mustard Cream Sauce
Serves: 6
Adapted from: Taste of Home
1/4 cup sour cream (I use Cabot's)
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl until well combined. Can be made ahead and refrigerated until needed.

Miami uses good zone defense to defeat Georgia Tech
ATLANTA (AP) — Freshman point guard Manu Lecomte seems to be maturing at just the right time for Miami.
"You need a guy like that to handle the ball, who won't make mistakes and runs the team," teammate Rion Brown said. "He's getting better and better each game."
Lecomte scored a career-high 16 points, Donnavan Kirk added 14 points and Miami used its tight zone defense to beat Georgia Tech 56-42 on Saturday.
The Hurricanes (10-7, 2-3 Atlantic Coast Conference) showed why they rank ninth in the nation in average points allowed, causing Georgia Tech to miss 27 of its first 35 shots from the field.
Miami gave the Yellow Jackets hardly any room to dribble inside the perimeter. Those few times that Georgia Tech managed to get through, the Hurricanes often stripped the ball away or grabbed a defensive rebound.
Trae Golden, despite missing six of seven 3-point attempts, finished with 12 points for the Yellow Jackets (10-8, 1-4), who used an eight-man rotation following injuries or sickness suffered by Robert Carter Jr., Jason Morris and Solomon Poole.
"We have some guys who haven't shot the ball as well as obviously we would like," Jackets coach Brian Gregory said. "It's kind of a double-edged sword. They're hard to score on — they've proven that — and when you have open shots, you have to make them."
The Hurricanes never trailed after Lecomte's layup made it 7-5 early in the first, taking their first double-digit lead on a pair of free throws by Lemonte with 3 seconds left before intermission.
Brown had 12 points for Miami, which finished with just four assists as most of the Hurricanes' baskets came off the dribble.
Georgia Tech, which began the game with the nation's 11th-worst shooting percentage on 3-point attempts, finished 4 for 20 beyond the arc.
And Chris Bolden sank further into his season-long slump. The starting sophomore guard went 0 for 5 on 3s and is now shooting just 25 percent on 52 attempts.
"We've got to shoot the ball better," Gregory said. "We've got to move the ball better and just keep plugging away.
Miami took charge of the momentum with an 8-0 run to end the first half. By the early minutes of the second half, the Hurricanes had outscored Georgia Tech 16-4 in the paint.
Lecomte and Brown hit straightaway treys that helped push the lead to 37-19 during that stretch, but it seemed strange that Miami won despite three assists from Lecomte, one from Garrius Adams and none from anyone else.
"I was really surprised about that," Miami coach Jim Larranaga said. "It ended up coming down to that Manu's baskets came off the dribble, Donnavan Kirk's baskets came off the dribble, and those are the guys who did all the scoring — them and Rion Brown."
Georgia Tech shot 29.5 percent, marking just the fifth time since 1964-65 that the Jackets had such a poor performance from the field.
Though Miami has held opponents to 60 points or less in 10 straight games, Lecomte said that Larranaga is still far from satisfied with the team's zone defense. Larranaga, who installed the scheme before the season, used mostly man-to-man defenses during his first 29 years as a head coach.
But for a freshman like Lecomte, who last year was in high school as Larranaga led the Hurricanes to the Sweet 16 in his first season at Miami, there hasn't been much of an adjustment.
The message is the same.
"Every day at practice, he is always telling us that we've got to get better on defense," Lecomte said. "I think we played good tonight."

HOUSTON - A lot of people will be spending the Labor Day holiday outside, so officials warn that precautions should be taken against West Nile virus.
Every state, except Alaska and Hawaii, has seen outbreaks. Texas has been the hardest hit, with nearly half of all infections in the country.
The West Nile virus killed 66 people so far in 2012 nationally, with over 1,500 human cases being reported in the country. Thirty human cases were confirmed in Houston and Harris County and three of those people have died.
This year has been named as the worst since the virus hit the U.S. over a decade ago. According to the CDC, those numbers are expected to rise.
"It's a late summer disease so the fact the we've got so many cases this early and it's so wide widespread does not bode well," said Joe Conlon with the American Mosquito Control Association.
"When we find virus activity, we go to that area and we spray that area," Dr. R. Bueno in Harris County.
Seventeen areas in Harris County were sprayed last night.
"We've noticed the difference," said Eddie Rodriguez, who helps run the golf course at Bear Creek Park, which was sprayed last week. "It's better than it used to be."
There are ways to help protect you and your family from the deadly virus.
The most common -- use a repellent, experts say preferably one that has DEET in it -- mosquitoes hate the smell.
Also, according to Harris County, the mosquito that carries the West Nile virus is most active during dusk and dawn, so use extra precautions then.
Protect Yourself From West Nile Virus
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, West Nile virus, which is spread through mosquito bites, can be fended off by emptying containers that may collect rainwater and sprinkler water. Also, use insect repellent, especially when going out in the evening.
To help eliminate mosquito-breeding sites and prevent mosquito-borne diseases, residents should do the following:
- Wear long pants and long-sleeve shirts when outdoors, particularly at dawn and dusk.
- Use insect repellent that contains DEET. Children should use insect repellents that contain less than 10 percent DEET. Do not apply DEET on babies. Adults should use insect repellents that contain more than 10 percent DEET.
- Make sure screens on windows and doors are in good condition.
- Keep the storm sewers clean to reduce mosquito breeding.
- Sweep up lawn clippings, leaves and limbs from sidewalks, driveways, curbs and gutters.
- Don't let lawn water or car-washing water enter the street.
- Pick up litter and other debris from the yard and the street.
- Keep mosquitoes out of the house.
- Keep doors and windows closed.
- Seal cracks and gaps in the house.
- If mosquitoes are in the house, use flying insect spray, following label instructions.
- Empty, remove or dispose of anything in the yard that can hold water: flower pot saucers, cans, toys, litter, rain barrels, plastic sheeting, etc.
- Pet water bowls and birdbaths should be emptied and refilled at least twice a week.
- Keep rain gutters on the house clean and properly draining.
- Repair household water leaks and move air-conditioner drain hoses frequently.

Vitamin D Holds Promise For Multiple Sclerosis Prevention
In an article recently published in the Journal of Cellular Biochemistry, researchers from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey propose a protective role for vitamin D against the development of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS).*
Sylvia Christakos, PhD, and colleagues describe several findings that point to the vitamin's protective benefit. They observe that the incidence of MS declines as vitamin D from sunlight or diet increases. Areas of the world in which fish intake is high also have a low incidence of MS. Fish and fish oils are among the few food sources of the vitamin.
In view of the strong reduction in the risk of MS that has been associated with having higher serum levels of vitamin D3 before the age of 20, the authors suggest that vitamin D supplements may provide a protective benefit if administered to adolescents and young adults.

Berries Protect Against Carcinogens
The journal Cancer Research published the findings of researchers at Ohio State University that consuming black raspberries can prevent some of the genetic changes that result from carcinogen exposure, thereby reducing the risk of cancer.*
Gary D. Stoner, PhD, and his associates fed rats a normal diet or a diet that contained 5% freeze-dried black raspberry powder for three weeks. During the third week, half of the animals were injected with a carcinogen, and genetic changes were measured.
Among rats that received the carcinogen, 2,261 genes showed a change in activity, yet in animals that received berry powder, 462 of these genes demonstrated activity that was near normal. The majority of these genes were involved in processes related to cancer.
"This suggests to us that a mixture of preventative agents, which berries provide, may more effectively prevent cancer than a single agent that targets only one or a few genes," Dr. Stoner stated.

Disability Rates May Not Increase With Very Old Age
A report published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences confirms that increasing rates of disability may not be inevitable among the very old.*
Kaare Christensen from the Danish Aging Research Center at the University of Southern Denmark and colleagues studied 2,262 Danish men and women born in 1905. The subjects were surveyed in 1998 and in 2000, 2003, and 2005 to evaluate physical functioning, cognitive function, and depression.
At the beginning of the study, 39% of the subjects were classified as independent. This percentage declined by an additional
"modest" 6% by 2005 among the 166 surviving participants. The authors write that with improved medical treatment and education, as well as a reduction in the number of those who smoke among those entering the oldest-old population, a decrease in disability among this age group can be expected.

Boswellia Extract Improves Symptoms of Osteoarthritis
An herbal extract, 5-Loxin®, significantly decreases pain and improves mobility in osteoarthritis of the knee, according to a study from India.* Derived from the herb Boswellia serrata (Indian frankincense), 5-Loxin® inhibits the 5-lipoxygenase enzyme to combat inflammation and pain.
In this study, 75 patients aged 40 to 80 years with mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis of the knee were randomly assigned to take 100 mg/day or 250 mg/day 5-Loxin®, or matching placebo, for 90 days. By the study's end, patients taking 5-Loxin® at either dose reported significant improvements in pain and physical function compared with placebo recipients, and these changes were already present at day seven of treatment with the 250-mg dose. Synovial fluid from both supplemented groups showed significant reductions in levels of matrix metalloproteinase-3 (an enzyme that degrades cartilage). Safety was comparable among groups.
5-Loxin® may represent a safe and effective anti-inflammatory treatment for osteoarthritis with fewer adverse effects than standard therapy.

Curcumin Shows Promise Against Cold Sore Virus
Curcumin, a component of the curry spice turmeric, significantly inhibits the growth of herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1) in cell culture.* HSV-1 is the virus responsible for cold sores.
Cells were cultured and then either pretreated with curcumin or left untreated, followed by administration of HSV-1. Curcumin significantly reduced the growth of HSV-1 in the treated cells, as determined by the number of plaques, size of plaques, and viral counts, compared with untreated cells. The results indicate that curcumin aids cells in resisting HSV-1 infection and slows HSV-1 replication (growth). The antiviral effect is due to suppression of HSV-1 gene expression.
Future research is necessary to determine how curcumin works in vivo (i.e., in humans). The authors note that this "is key to developing curcumin as an alternative drug for HSV-1 treatment... our results can be considered as an early step in elucidating the molecular basis of the antiviral activities of curcumin."

Sleep Loss May Encourage Inflammatory Diseases
Losing sleep for just a portion of one night is sufficient to trigger production of the potent inflammatory mediator, nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB), according to a new report.1 Previous research has linked inadequate sleep with a greater risk of inflammatory diseases, including diabetes, arthritis, cardiovascular disease, and even cancer.1,2
Scientists at the University of California, Los Angeles, monitored blood levels of NF-kB, a transcription factor that serves a crucial role in the promotion of the inflammatory cascade, among 14 healthy men and women after sleep. Subjects' blood levels of NF-kB were repeatedly monitored, following a full night's sleep, recovery sleep, and partial sleep deprivation (a night interrupted by remaining awake from 11 pm to 3 am).1
"In the morning after a night of sleep loss, mononuclear cell nuclear factor-kappa B activation was significantly greater compared with morning levels following uninterrupted baseline or recovery sleep," wrote the researchers.1
These findings help elucidate how sleep disturbances may play a role in inflammatory disorders.

Green Tea Extract Improves Blood Glucose Control
Supplementation with green tea powder for two months significantly reduces levels of hemoglobin A1c, an indicator of long-term glucose control, in Japanese patients with borderline diabetes.*
Participants were 60 male and female volunteers with elevated blood glucose who were divided into two groups. The early-intervention group drank a supplement of green tea extract (containing 544 mg polyphenols) each day for two months, followed by two months of observation without supplement, and the later-intervention group followed the opposite schedule.
During the study, blood levels of hemoglobin A1c declined significantly in the early-intervention group from baseline (6.2%) to two months (5.9%) and four months (5.8%); levels in the later-intervention group were 6.1%, 6.1%, and 5.9%, respectively. Healthy hemoglobin A1c levels usually range from 4% to 5.9%. Diastolic blood pressure also modestly decreased with supplementation.
These findings suggest that modulating long-term blood glucose control may represent yet another health benefit of green tea extracts.

Flaxseed Extract Reduces Male Urinary Symptoms
A recent clinical trial shows that a flaxseed lignan extract significantly improves lower urinary tract symptoms among men with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).* The extract contained 33% secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG), the principal ingredient.
In this study, 87 men with an enlarged prostate were randomly assigned to take 300 or 600 mg/day SDG, or placebo (no supplement), for four months. Both supplement groups had significant improvements in the International Prostate Symptom Score, the Quality of Life score, and the number of patients with a change in overall urinary symptoms from "moderate/severe" to "mild" compared with baseline; changes were not significant for the placebo group. Improvements in urinary symptoms were correlated with plasma concentrations of total lignans, SDG, and other active ingredients.
The authors note that the benefits of flaxseed extract appear comparable to the therapeutic effects of common treatments for BPH.

Problems in the workplace?
Employment law governs the relationship between workers and their employers. This law, contained in federal and state statutes, administrative regulations, and judicial decisions, specifies the rights and restrictions applicable to each party in the workplace.
This area of law regulates such issues as employee benefits, discipline, hiring, firing, leave, payroll, and health and safety in the workplace. It also encompasses non-compete agreements, retaliation, severance, unemployment compensation, pensions, whistle-blowing, worker classification, wage garnishment, work authorization for non-U.S. citizens, worker's compensation, and employee handbooks.
Both federal and state laws govern the relationship between employees and employers. Federal laws such as Title VII, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and Age Discrimination in Employment Act prohibit employers from discriminating against employees based on certain characteristics. Many states have enacted their own laws similar to federal ones (and sometimes are more stringent). Cities and counties also can enact ordinances that affect employee rights, such as local minimum wage laws.
Employment lawyers can choose to accept only employees as clients, only employers, or both. Some attorneys focus on a specific area of employment law, such as workers' compensation, whistleblowing or discrimination, but many can handle a wide range of employment law issues.
Essential job functions: The fundamental job duties of the employment position that the individual with a disability holds or desires. The term essential functions does not include marginal functions of the position.
Exempt employee: An employee who is not entitled to the minimum wage or overtime pay protections of the Fair Labor Standards Act.

Conversation with
A Man Who Went to Mars
by Morgan Kochel
Morgan Kochel says:
…"And there you have it! This was the end of our discussion about the Mars mission, but I have remained in touch with Chad. At this point, I hope to be able to convince him to do a video or TV interview, but of course, there will be more than a few obstacles to overcome, the main one being that he may currently be in some danger if he goes public.
Furthermore, there is always the barrier of peoples' understandable skepticism.
As I said in the beginning, I cannot verify this story for anyone, nor is my intent to convince anyone of its veracity. My goal is only to help him get his story heard, because if this story IS true, the people of this planet are being lied to on a grand scale, and perhaps this will eventually help the UFO Disclosure Movement. It's time for the lies to be uncovered, and time for the truth -- whatever that may be -- to be known once and for all.
Please read and spread. Thanks
