Ed Levine's Caloric Journey, Week 170: A Change in Course
All right, fans and occasional naysayers of my caloric journey. I am going to take this journey down a different path for awhile. It's my journey, so I determine the route.
I read everyone's comments last week with great interest, both the positive and the negative ones. Of all the comments last week I found Teachertalk's to be the one I couldn't stop thinking about. This is what she said:
"I reread the comments last week and feel badly that they hurt your feelings. I think they were suggestions made out of love and concern, and not at all meant to be harsh. Have you considered reframing your weekly column to be more general? If you continue to make it all about Thinner, you will continue to elicit personal comments that might sting. If you instead make it about making sensible choices (maybe even not weighing yourself every week, but every 2 or 3 weeks)--and include a recipe of something delectable and dietetic that you made or someone else made for you to eat--you would reach the same audience (those of us watching our weight or trying to lose weight) but with a less personal focus. Perhaps you could include a few lines about others' efforts to avoid pigging out on the samples spread on that gigantic, calorie-laden table of yours! Or talk about low carb dishes that were delicious and didn't sidetrack your weight-watching. Just a suggestion, of course. Widening the scope of your column would widen the range of responses, yet still keep you "on track" since Thinner would be the bottom line when you include those readings."
I am going to reframe by caloric journey in the following ways:
I'm not going to weigh myself every week for the post. I think Teachertalk is right. If I weigh myself publicly every three weeks or so I will take the focus of the post off the number and still keep me on the relatively straight and narrow.
So what will the serious eaters find along the side of the road of this journey instead?
- Mini-epiphanies and a few Eurekas! thrown in for good measure.
- Observations and experiences that might help me and others.
- Tricks, big and little, to help maintain my current weight loss and bring it down even further.
- Specific attainable goals.
- Recipes that are seriously delicious, healthy, and promote weight loss.
- Observations and tips from other serious eaters at World HQ who are subjected to the same temptations I am.
Towards this end I want to share a few things with all of you:
- I do exercise quite a lot. I play squash three times a week, swim twice a week, and try to ride my bike to work (10 miles round-trip) and/or to squash as often as the weather and my schedule permit.
- I have been on medication for the past six months that does have an unfortunate side effect of weight gain for some people. I am now off that drug.
- I have started to go back to eating half of what's presented to me in restaurants. I think it will really help.
Carey suggested I keep a food journal for at least a week or two just to see how much food we really eat at SE Headquarters, at home, and at restaurants. I bet the results will be eye-opening.
One problem that I face that the other SE'rs at HQ don't is that (especially lately) I have been having almost daily business lunches and dinners outside the office, so adding those two meals to the array of food we are constantly trying on the groaning board that is our conference table, makes it that much tougher to lose weight. This week, for example, we had a margarita taste test at the office (that I didn't participate in), a creamy peanut butter taste test (that I have also resisted to date, but may try the finalists today), not to mention the daily sandwiches, candy, and soda that invariably finds its way to our office.
That's it for now. I am excited to have made this fairly sharp turn on my caloric journey. I hope many of you will come along for the ride.

Casa Grande
Located between the cities of Phoenix and Tucson, Casa Grande is a city of about 50,00 residents. This is a dynamic, modern city with a small town heritage. Once a farming and agricultural community, Casa Grande today is a city with a booming manufacturing sector, and is a retail trade center. Other top area employers include the state and federal government and tourist related industries. Most residents and visitors to the city enjoy the arid desert climate, with hot summers and very mild winters. This makes it a great place for golf and other sports all year round. There are many scenic attractions in the area that brings tourists from all over the nation and the world. A revitalized downtown area today is home to museums and theaters. Annual events include the Arizona State Chili Open in March, and the annual O'Odham Tash Celebration is a gathering of native tribes from the area that get together for Native American arts and crafts displays, rodeos, ceremonial dances, and more. The city is home to Central Arizona College and Northern Arizona University, so there is a good population of young adults who enjoy the nightlife scene here. This is a low crime area and one of the best places to live in the state of Arizona.

In May 2009, the President went to Notre Dame University to receive an honorary degree, and to address the graduating class. Many of us believed that this was a profoundly scandalous invitation by the administration of the University, which purports to be Catholic.
In response, we were tutted and shushed by those who, like the gullible priest who heads the University, thought that it would be the beginning of a "dialogue" between the pro-abortion President and the pro-life community, particularly with the Church.
Indeed, on that day, the President said this:
When we open our hearts and our minds to those who may not think precisely like we do or believe precisely what we believe—that's when we discover at least the possibility of common ground…. Let's honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion, and draft a sensible conscience clause, and make sure that all of our health care policies are grounded not only in sound science but also in clear ethics as well as respect for the quality of life.
Two years later, we have yet another demonstration of what it means when the President speaks about issues of life and death. It means this — his words have the exact opposite meaning from what he says, and you can always expect that he will do everything in his power to advance the Culture of Death.
Earlier this week, the President's Secretary of Health and Human Services announced that, pursuant to the health care "reform" law, all health insurance plans in the United States would be required to cover — free of charge to the insured person — all forms of contraceptives, under the rubric of "preventive care".
This includes hormonal contraceptives, which corrupt women by treating their healthy fertility as if it were diseased. It includes "intrauterine devices" which are early mechanisms of abortion. It includes "ella", a "morning after pill" that is acknowledged by its own manufacturer to work as an abortion pill. And it writes into law a powerful anti-life message, which teaches people that a new human life is an enemy to be poisoned at its earliest stages — to be "prevented", and not welcomed.
For those individuals who object to this? Nothing. No chance of opting out. No "choice", to use a favored word of the President's.
For those religious institutions that object to this? Nothing — just an "exemption" that is so transparently phony that it is an insult.
This has been yet another important lesson. When the President speaks, it's important that we translate his words into plain English. By "common ground", he means "I will compel you to agree with me or face the consequences". By "honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion", he means "ignore their concerns and force them to pay for abortions and abortifacient contraceptives". By "draft a sensible conscience clause" he means "enact a fig leaf of a provision that everyone will know to be bogus". And by "grounded in clear ethics as well as respect for the quality of life" he means "pushing policies that advance the culture of death and the agenda of those who worship it, regardless of the cost in human lives or souls".
And by "dialogue", he really means "force you to surrender your beliefs and buy into the killing of children and the degradation of women".

Phillylacrosse.com, Posted 1/30/14
From Press Release
Georgetown topped the 2014 BIG EAST Preseason Women's Lacrosse Poll as announced by the conference today. The Hoyas claimed all seven possible first-place votes and totaled 49 points, while Connecticut earned the final first-place vote and 40 points to be tabbed runner-up. UConn's Lauren Kahn was voted BIG EAST Preseason Offensive Player of the Year, while Louisville's Monica Negron was selected as Preseason Defensive Player of the Year.
All eight BIG EAST head coaches, who were not allowed to vote for their own players of teams, participated in the poll.
The Hoyas are fresh off their 13th NCAA Tournament appearance in program history and are guided by 10th-year head coach Ricky Fried. Georgetown finished the 2013 campaign 13-6 overall and 6-2 in BIG EAST play, earning the No. 6 seed at the NCAAs before bowing out in the second round. Fried, who led Team USA to its seventh world championship this past summer, was selected as head coach for the 2017 U.S. Women's National Team in August.
Georgetown returns 26 letterwinners from last season's roster, including unanimous Preseason All-BIG EAST selection Caroline Tarzian. Tarzian, a 2013 IWLCA Division I All-American Third Team honoree and All-BIG EAST First Team choice, led the Hoyas with 50 points last season off 36 goals and 14 assists. Tarzian was one of two unanimous preseason picks for GU, joined by senior midfielder Kelyn Freedman (Radnor). Freedman, the 2010 Phillylacrosse.com Player of the Year, finished third on the squad in 2013 in points (41) and first in shots (67).
Georgetown led all teams with six Preseason All-BIG EAST selections as Freedman and Tarzian were accompanied by Barbara Black, Adrianne Devine, Hannah Franklin and Casey McGowan.
Preseason Offensive Player of the Year Lauren Kahn led Connecticut to runner-up honors in the preseason poll. Kahn, the 2013 BIG EAST Midfielder of the Year and second-team IWLCA All-American, registered a team-high 65 points off 42 goals and 23 assists last season. The senior out of Nanuet, N.Y., finished the year ranked 25th nationally in ground balls per game (2.56) and also among the leaders in draw controls (3.39).
Kahn was a unanimous Preseason All-BIG EAST selection, as was teammate Shannon Nee. The sophomore goalkeeper, who earned All-BIG EAST Second-Team honors in 2013, started all 18 games as a freshman, winning 11 games in the cage. Nee turned away 95 shots as the Huskies finished 13-5 overall and 5-3 against league foes. Senior Kacey Pippitt also earned Preseason All-BIG EAST recognition. Head coach Katie Woods returns for her fourth season on the sidelines. Woods was tabbed the 2013 BIG EAST Coach of the Year as the Huskies earned their first NCAA Tournament bid in program history.
BIG EAST Preseason Defensive Player of the Year Monica Negron led Louisville to its No. 3 position in the poll. A three-time second team IWLCA All-West/Midwest Region honoree, Negron caused 1.44 turnovers per game in 2013 and led the BIG EAST with 4.06 draw controls per contest, ranking 21st nationally. Her 31 ground balls led the Cardinals last year, who finished the campaign 11-6 overall and 3-5 in BIG EAST play, winning their final three tilts of the year.
Senior attacker Nikki Boltja was also a unanimous preseason selection for the Cardinals. Boltja finished 2013 ranked second nationally in goals per game (3.71), and is the BIG EAST's top returning points earner and goal scorer from last season. She was named to the Tewaaraton Award Watch List in April 2013 and earned first team IWLCA all-West/Midwest Region status. Teammate Kay Morissette rounded out Louisville's Preseason All-BIG EAST honorees. Head coach Kellie Young enters her seventh season at UofL.
Rutgers boasts four Preseason All-BIG EAST selections and a fourth-place ranking in the poll. The Scarlet Knights went 9-8 in 2013, including 1-7 against league competition. RU returns its No. 2 goal scorer from 2013 in Megan Clements, who was joined on the conference's preseason squad by Chelsea Intrabartola, Lauren Sbrilli and Hollie DiMuro. Laura Brand-Sias is beginning her 12th season as head coach at RU.
Temple claimed the No. 5 spot in the preseason poll. The Owls, who enter the BIG EAST for the first time in 2014 after previously competing in the Atlantic-10, finished last season with a 9-8 record. Temple returns their Nos. 3 and 4 scorers from a season ago, while Bonnie Rosen will serve on the sidelines for the eighth season as head coach of the Owls.
Villanova came in sixth in the preseason poll following a 6-10 overall record in 2013. The Wildcats return 2013 BIG EAST assists leader Jessica Mucci (39), while Amy Begay, who saw action on defense in all 16 games last season, also returns to the lineup in 2014. Head coach Julie Young enters her third season on the sidelines.
Cincinnati and Marquette tied for seventh in the preseason poll. The Bearcats finished 2013 with a 7-9 record overall, including 1-7 in BIG EAST play, while the Golden Eagles are coming off their first season of Division I lacrosse in which they went 2-15. Gina Oliver is in her second season as head coach at UC, while Meredith Black has been MU's head mentor since the program's inception in 2011.
Lacrosse season officially gets under way on Feb. 9 when Louisville travels to Duke. Cincinnati follows three days later at Notre Dame, before the bulk of the BIG EAST squads (Marquette at Johns Hopkins, Georgetown vs. Delaware, Connecticut vs. UMass, Rutgers at Manhattan, Temple vs. Saint Joseph's) begin on Feb. 15. Villanova is the final league team to begin its 2014 campaign, with the Wildcats hitting the field on Feb. 22 against Michigan.
BIG EAST Preseason Poll
1. Georgetown – 49 points (seven first-place votes)
2. Connecticut – 40 points (one first-place vote)

More tornadoes from global warming? Nobody knows
A deadly tornado hit suburban Oklahoma City on Monday. A quick look at some basic facts:
Q. Is global warming to blame?
A. You can't blame a single weather event on global warming. In any case, scientists just don't know whether there will be more or fewer twisters as global warming increases. Tornadoes arise from very local conditions, and so they're not as influenced by climate change as much as larger weather systems like hurricanes and nor'easters. They're not easy to incorporate in the large computer simulations scientists use to gauge the impact of global warming.
And when scientists ponder the key weather ingredients that lead to twisters, there's still no clear answer about whether to expect more or fewer twisters. Some scientists theorize that the jet stream is changing because sea ice in the Arctic is shrinking. And the jet stream pattern drives weather in the Northern Hemisphere.
Q. How does this tornado season stack up against previous ones?
A. The season got off to a quiet start this year. Typically, there are more during spring, and the numbers dwindle in the worst heat of the summer. An unusually cool spring kept the funnel clouds at bay until mid-May this year. The last two seasons illustrate the extremes in tornado activity. In 2011, the United States saw its second-deadliest tornado season. Last year, it was busy in April but there were few twisters after that.
Q. What happened in Oklahoma?
A. The tornado destroyed two elementary schools and flattened neighborhoods with winds estimated between 200 and 210 mph. The National Weather Service on Tuesday gave the twister a top-of-the-scale ranking of EF5. The tornado at some points was 1.3 miles wide, and its path went on for 17 miles and 40 minutes.
Q. How did it form?
A. Like the most destructive and deadly tornadoes, this one came from a rotating thunderstorm. The thunderstorm developed in an area where warm moist air rose into cooler air. Winds in the area caused the storm to rotate, and that rotation promoted the development of a tornado.

June 7, 2004 Cataloger's Desktop Now Available on the Web
Press Contact: John Sayers, Public Affairs (202) 707-9216
Public Contact: Peter Seligman, Cataloging Distribution Service (202) 707-1314
The Cataloging Distribution Service (CDS) of the Library of Congress has introduced a Web-accessible version of its widely used cataloging tool, Cataloger's Desktop. The new fee-for-service subscription product for catalogers can be now accessed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and provides the most widely used cataloging documentation resources in an integrated, online system. Also, the new product includes the current version of the Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules, 2nd edition (AACR2).
"Cataloger's Desktop on the Web represents the Library of Congress' successful initiative to offer catalogers everywhere a highly useful and reliable Web cataloging tool," said Kathryn Mendenhall, chief of CDS. "It incorporates all of the indispensable cataloging publications catalogers use daily, but were previously available only in a large number of individual print editions or as a quarterly CD-ROM disc from CDS."
More than 1,600 catalogers worldwide tested the product over the two-month beta test. Their critiques helped the CDS development team fine-tune the product prior to its release. "I love the 'open new window' feature; I can compare the AACR2 with the LCRI [Library of Congress Rule Interpretations] and MARC format," said beta user Patricia Thurston of Yale University's Sterling Memorial Library.
"Because of the inclusion of AACR2 in Cataloger's Desktop, the Web product has been adopted by all Library of Congress catalogers and should become a standard tool for catalogers throughout the world," said Bruce Johnson, Cataloger's Desktop development team leader.
The rules in AACR2 form the basis for descriptive cataloging practice in the English-speaking library community, with implications for cataloging standardization worldwide. The inclusion of AACR2 in Cataloger's Desktop ensures that cataloging will employ standardized description, which in turn makes the cataloging interchangeable from one catalog to the next.
The Cataloging Distribution Service of the Library of Congress has provided technical library publications and services to the international cataloging community on a cost-recovery basis for more than 100 years. Additional information about CDS and Cataloger's Desktop, including subscription options and pricing, is available online at www.loc.gov/cds/desktop/.
AACR2 is copyrighted by of the American Library Association, the Canadian Library Association, the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals.

- There's a rumor that Sean Penn was thrown out of the Governor's Ball last night for punching Greg Shapiro, a Hurt Locker producer reportedly dating Robin Wright. Though there are numerous sources, gossips can't seem to get their stories straight:
- One claims, "Academy officials...said he was banned from the Ball." However, a rep for the Academy says, "Sean Penn chose not to attend the Governors Ball." [E!]
- TMZ's sources agree that Sean Penn couldn't have been kicked out of the Governors Ball because he was never there in the first place. Penn and Greg Shapiro did run into each other backstage at the Oscars, but no one saw this alleged fight. An "insider" says, "I didn't see it happen ... something could've happened, but if it did, it was minor and only lasted a second." [TMZ]
- A source says at Elton John's Oscars party, "Madonna walked in with her manager Guy Oseary and her entourage and ordered a Belvedere vodka. It was left to one rather nervous waiter to tell her only Grey Goose was available and when he did all hell broke loose. Madonna was dropping F-bombs like they were going out of fashion. Fortunately Guy was able to calm her down. But she sulked about the vodka and ordered a non-alcoholic virgin mojito instead. She was clearly up for a drink, but wasn't prepared to compromise on her vodka choice." [The Mirror]
- Ryan O'Neal said of Farrah Fawcett being left out of the Oscars' "In Memorium" segment, "It was a terrible decision and very hurtful.. Farrah was a member of the Academy for over 40 years and we could not believe she did not get a mention." [Radar]
- Craig Nevius, who worked with Farrah Fawcett on the documentary Farrah's Story said, "Farrah's shocking omission from the 'In Memoriam' montage on the Oscars isn't a reflection of Farrah. It's a reflection of the producers and of the Academy itself. After all, this is a broadcast - as opposed to a 'production' - that has become all about shuffling winners on and off stage and cutting off acceptance speeches in order to make more air time for jokes without punchlines and scripted spontaneity the likes of which we haven't seen since vaudeville. They should be ashamed of themselves and owe a public apology in the name of Farrah Fawcett." [Radar]
- A spokeswoman for the Academy refused to apologize for Farrah Fawcett's omission. "I would not say that it was an oversight," she said. "No matter how carefully and how conscientiously people address who is included, there are people who just simply can't be. In any given year there will always be some people that other people think should have been included and that there's more justification for one person versus another. It is impossible to include everybody." [E!]
- What was up with George Clooney's glum expression at the Oscars? According to his rep, he "was fine, just under the weather ... happens." [MSNBC]
- Here are some other clues: George Clooney skipped all the parties and was spotted drinking from a flask at the ceremony. [Showbiz 411]
- Sandra Bullock's Blind Side co-star Quinton Aaron was only given one ticket to the Oscars and no ticket to the Governor Ball. When asked why he was milling around outside the theater after the show he said, "I did get two tickets to the Vanity Fair party, so I'm waiting for my date to come pick me up." [Showbiz 411]
- In the video at the link, Sandra Bullock says she'll keep her Oscar and her Razzie near each other "on a shelf somewhere... the Razzie maybe on a different shelf, lower." [People]
- After leaving the Kodak Theater, Meryl Streep said, "That bitch!" referring to Sandra Bullock, then laughed and said, "I love her!" [Showbiz 411]
- Jesse James says that, after going missing for several weeks, his dog CinnaBun is "Good. She's spoiled again … She's back to normal." [People]
- Alec Baldwin will speak at NYU's commencement this year. [NYU News]
- In a Huffington Post editorial about hosting the Academy Awards, Alec Baldwin says, "I had a wonderful time at the Oscars this year, because the reality of just how many remarkably talented people work in the movie business was never more vivid to me than last night. We all have our preferences (I had to be careful to keep mine to myself in advance of the show). We all think that someone should have been nominated that was overlooked. (500 Days of Summer, anyone?) That someone should have won who didn't." [HuffPo]
- Macaulay Culkin says he was asked to appear in the John Hughes tribute at the Oscars, "About a month ago. I wasn't sure what we were going to do until I got here. As long as the family loved it, that's all that is important to me." [Us]
- Though Charlize Theron said of her Oscar gown, "I just loved this dress," one E! critic said, "This one's going down in the history books along with the swan dresses and pirate costumes." [Us]
- Sacha Baron Cohen's Academy Awards appearance as a female Na'vi was canceled, but James Cameron says he wouldn't have been offended: "Well I heard about that. But, you know, it's all part of the fun, isn't it?" [Us]
- Last night at an Oscars after-party, Jon Voight said his recent reunion with Angelina Jolie, "Was wonderful. It was a wonderful trip. It was wonderful to be with the family and each of the kids is very special in their own way. And Brad and Angie are wonderful parents, so I had a great time." When asked if James Haven helped bring them together he said, "I don't want to say anything about any of that...people reported it, and there was some pictures taken, and I was there. It was great." [E!]
- Kathy Ireland replied to each person who made fun of her awkward appearance on ABC's pre-Oscar special on Twitter. Here are some responses: "No meds or alcohol Angel===just J.O.Y.!", "Never use drugs and that as a Mom is not a cool or funny suggestion," and "Don't feel embarrassed for me. Had a blast and it was so much FUN!" [Us]
- Mo'Nique attended the Academy Awards with her own bodyguard for unknown reasons. "It's the safest place in the world," said a publicist. When someone asked who designed her gown, the question was fielded to the bodyguard, who didn't know. [Showbiz 411]
- Brittany Murphy's husband Simon Monjack was invited to the Academy Awards because Brittany appeared in the "In Memoriam" segment, but he wasn't invited to any of the after-parties. "They told me they were at capacity," Simon said. "I just think it's a shame since they've said that Brittany was their favorite interview and one of their favorite people." [Radar]

Octodad: Dadliest Catch will contain PlayStation Move support when it launches on PlayStation 4.
If you won't feel like flailing your arms around in real-life, just use the DualShock 4 controller.
Players who opt to use Move will need just one controller and can alternate which leg you're moving using the front Move button for the right leg, or the back trigger for left, and then wave the controller in the direction you want to stumble.
You can read up on how you can make Octodad do other crazy things over on the PS Blog.

Occasionally, the excerpt does not show a read-more at the end of the text. This is obviously the case, if the text content of the post is shorter than the set excerpt length.
Normally this is no problem – however, if your post contains images and/or important formatting, you would like to point the reader to the full post.
The above also assumes that you have customized your theme, to show a link to the post at the end of the excerpt – refer to the Codex chapter 'Make the read-more link to the post'.
A way to remedy the situation, is to edit functions.php of the theme, and to find the related code, such as:
function new_excerpt_more($more) { global $post; return 'ID) . '">' . 'Read the Rest...' . ''; } add_filter('excerpt_more', 'new_excerpt_more');
Remove that, and add a new filter function in its place; something like:
function excerpt_read_more_link($output) { global $post; return $output . 'ID) . '">Read All ...'; } add_filter('the_excerpt', 'excerpt_read_more_link');
And now you have a 'read-more' link at the end of each excerpt, linked to the full post.

Superstar Jennifer Lopez has her ex-husband, Marc Anthony, to thank for boosting her confidence as a singer in 2008 when she harbored serious doubts about her own abilities behind the microphone.
The "On The Floor" hit maker reveals she battled secret insecurities about her skills as a musician for years, until salsa star Anthony convinced her she was being too hard on herself.
She tells Cosmopolitan magazine, "The biggest insecurity I had was my singing. Even though I had sold 70 million records, there was this feeling like, 'I'm not good at this.'"
"He kept telling me, 'You're the only one holding yourself back from reaching your full potential as a singer. You have to let go'… I was always so insecure and just kind of going along. Then I grew, little by little, and realized, 'Wait a minute, this is not a fluke. I'm not a mistake – I work my ass off. And I know what I'm doing.'"
Lopez and Anthony split in 2011 after almost seven years of marriage.

Checkoff's partnership with McDonald's directly contributed to an additional 1.7 billion pounds of milk sold between 2009 and 2011.
Source: Dairy Management Inc. news release
ORLANDO, Fla. – The dairy checkoff's strategy of working with powerful partners is helping to "secure dairy's future" by contributing to billions of additional pounds of milk sales and enhancing dairy's image.
Dairy producer promotion leaders delivered this message to nearly 1,000 producer and industry representatives at the 2012 National Dairy Promotion and Research Board (NDB)/National Milk Producers Federation/United Dairy Industry Association (UDIA) Joint Annual Meeting in Orlando, Fla., Oct. 29-31.
Working with industry leaders McDonald's® and Domino's® represents a business strategy that helps the dairy checkoff "do more with less," said California producer Steve Maddox, NDB chairman. NDB carries out coordinated promotion and research programs to help build demand and expand domestic and international markets for dairy products.
"In the past, checkoff efforts were largely focused on generic promotion to help raise consumer awareness through generic advertising," Maddox said. "We had some great ads that producers were extremely proud of, but we didn't grow sustained dairy sales."
Maddox said the checkoff's partnership with McDonald's directly contributed to an additional 1.7 billion pounds of milk sold between 2009 and 2011. Producers can expect continued growth in McDonald's dairy sales, he said, pointing to menu development efforts driven by checkoff employees who work at McDonald's headquarters in Oak Brook, Ill.
Beyond McDonald's, the checkoff's partnerships with Domino's and other pizza companies and suppliers have moved more than 6 billion pounds of milk since 2009, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Pizza innovation continues with the recent introduction of Domino's Handmade Pan Pizza, which uses up to 40 percent more cheese than the chain's two-topping, hand-tossed pizzas.
Innovation Center Unifies Industry on Common Goals
Another example of checkoff partnerships to grow sales is focused on working with and through the dairy industry.
The Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy®, created by producers in 2008, allows the checkoff to partner with processors, manufacturers and others to leverage their financial and other resources. More than 800 professionals representing 300 companies dedicate their time and expertise to help advance checkoff goals and priorities.
"Our checkoff program cannot do it alone," said Paul Rovey, Arizona dairy producer and chair of Dairy Management Inc.™, which manages the national dairy checkoff through funding from NDB and UDIA. "We need the added muscle and backing of powerful partners through an industry-wide approach."
Rovey said the Innovation Center is one of the most groundbreaking partnership concepts the checkoff has created, and its successes benefit the entire industry. In the area of food safety, the Innovation Center has facilitated an industry-funded training program to help reduce the risk of pathogen contamination in dairy foods. It also has conducted a greenhouse gas life cycle assessment for fluid milk to set the record straight about milk's environmental impact.
Fuel Up to Play 60 Positively Impacting Future Consumers
Other checkoff partnerships are aimed at youth to help reverse the alarming obesity epidemic that is putting the health of future generations at risk.
Fuel Up to Play 60 is a partnership between the dairy checkoff and the National Football League®, with support from USDA. State and regional checkoff staffs have implemented it in more than 73,000 schools.
Schools are important to producers because 55 million students across the country are in class an average of 180 days a year. These students account for 7 percent of total fluid milk consumption.
"Children represent 100 percent of our future consumers," said Bill Siebenborn, Missouri producer and UDIA chair. "We have a tremendous opportunity to positively impact these youngsters' diets with healthy, nutritious dairy products."
Local checkoff organizations also remain critical to protecting and promoting dairy's image. Image efforts are focused on having more conversations – especially through social media channels – with consumers who are generations removed from food production. These consumers are interested in learning more about the work that occurs on dairy farms. Research shows they will be more loyal to products whose values – real or perceived – mirror their own.
Dairy's story is one that "consumers tell us they want to hear," Siebenborn said. "It's a story about our commitment to provide safe, nutritious foods to feed our country and the world. It's a story about our dedication to environmental stewardship and caring for our animals. It's about our involvement and leadership in local communities across this nation."
At the core of these efforts is the partnership between national and local organizations that form UDIA, a federation of 19 state and regional dairy promotion organizations that collaborate to develop and implement strategies to grow sales.
"There is no more important relationship than the one between our national and state and regional dairy promotion organizations," Siebenborn said. "Through DMI, dairy producers are able to implement programs nationally so that we have a consistent, unified approach to protect and promote dairy. Our staffs at the state and regional level bring our programs to life."

Dairy Management Inc.™ (DMI) is the nonprofit domestic and international planning and management organization response for increasing demand for dairy products and ingredients. DMI manages the American Dairy Association® and National Dairy Council®. DMI also has established affiliate organizations, including the U.S. Dairy Export Council®, Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy and the Dairy Research Institute.

What if there was a key to unlocking a full, happy, purposeful life? Would you be willing to risk trading in your mediocrity for the extraordinary?
Well, you don't need a secret key, or a magic wand, but you may need to let go of some dis-empowering beliefs you have about yourself and life, realize that limitations stem from fear (an emotion not a fact), and begin to shift your perception to a more positive hopeful outlook.
How can this be done? It can be much easier than you may think. Many people with issues resort to traditional therapy, which can become a lifelong process of sitting on a couch once a week and answering the question "How do you feel about that?" This is a question you could be asking yourself for the rest of your life, with no positive results.
Although Life Coaching has been around since the early 1980's, it is a vastly growing alternative to traditional therapy for the fact that it conquers issues directly, using action to create efficient life transforming results.
It's easy for you to see what others may be doing wrong, but when it's your life and you are in it, you can't always get a clear perception of what is really going on. Having a life coach is like having a mirror, and finally being able to see things from a new perspective.
The most debilitating self-sabotaging quality one can possess is fear: fear of failing, succeeding, not being good enough, not being loved, or fear of change. Unless you face and conquer fear head on, you will continue to live the same humdrum life as long as you can endure it.
You must take action and learn to live outside of your comfort zone if you want to begin the journey of learning what you're actually capable of.
What a Life Coach can help you improve and overcome: lack of confidence, depression, anxiety, phobias, marital and family issues, career change, finances, spirituality, OCD behaviors, creating life goals, devising an action plan to support you in reaching your goals, and much more.
We all have struggles. It's whether we choose to suffer in them, or rise above and decide to be happy anyway, that makes the difference in our lives. You are meant to be happy. If you find that you feel otherwise, working with a Life Coach may just be the answer you're looking for.

I love what I do but without the right tools, it would be difficult to get my work done. Every day that I'm in my office, I reach for these tried and true items to keep my projects running smoothly. I'm always on the hunt for products and services that have the right mix of looks, value and functionality and these are what I've personally found to work best.
I hope this list saves you time on your search for the perfect mix of gear:
1. Samsung Digital Camera:
I love this camera so much. After going through a total of six others over the last 15 years, this is hands-down the best one I've ever owned. While I loved my Sony, this is leaps and bounds above in picture quality, durability and looks. The best part is that it's WIFI compatible so when you're on the go, you can snap a photo, send it straight to your phone, edit and upload on the spot. The quality of this puts phone cameras to shame so for the last year, I've been exclusively using it to shoot photos for my Instagram stream, not to mention every single photo on my blog.
I could go on forever about this camera and its awesome features but the real proof is in how many people around me have the same exact model — Kat, Gala, Pam and even my mom swear by it!
2. Canon Scanner:
I used to have a big, clunky scanner until I was introduced to this model at one of my agency jobs. Besides being affordable, it's super slim and the quality is fantastic. I've been using this for the last 5 years and it's still going strong.
3. Samsung Color Laser Printer:
Years ago, I had an ink jet but once I started doing larger scale projects, the cartridges just got to be too expensive. I knew laser printers were the way to go but had always assumed that the color versions were out of my league. After some research, I came across this Samsung model and it can print hundreds of color copies on the same set of cartridges. Plus, it's so small that it fits right next to my desk. The days of those massive copy machines in offices are over — the quality of this is on-par with them! While the printer comes boxed with a starter set of color cartridges to get you going, I'd recommend bundling it with the separate full set of cartridges as well so you never run out mid-project.
4. Aesop Body Balm:
When you're designing for long stretches, it's nice to have quality basics nearby. I picked up this Aesop lotion on a whim and love its non-greasy texture and super citrusy scent. I'm a minimalist at heart and it's one of just a few things I constantly keep on my desk.
5. Pantone Coated and Uncoated Swatches:
I still send projects to print all the time and as you know, what you see on your monitor is not always accurate. It's also nice to have these on hand so you can list the PMS swatch equivalents in a client's brand guidelines. This is the set I have and it comes boxed with both the coated and uncoated books so you've got the basics covered.
6. Western Digital External Drive:
When I needed an external hard drive a few years back, I started my search on Amazon and kept coming across rave reviews for Western Digital drives. They're solid, a great value and both Mac and PC compatible. I now have multiples and recommend them to all my friends and clients. I always keep two on hand to run backups — one is plugged into my computer at all times to run Time Machine and the other is a complete backup of my computer I do every few months and store in a separate, safe place.
As a sidenote, when I bought my first external hard drive, I threw it in my purse and was hard on it which led to the connecting cable going bad. Now, I'm much more careful and always carry it in a case. These cases are cheap, lightweight and fit the Western Digital drives perfectly.
7. Adobe Creative Cloud:
I renew my membership once a year and updates for the Adobe Suite download straight to my desktop. I use these products for a solid 10 hours a day and couldn't do my job without them. If you're curious about all the plan options, you can check them out here.
8. Apple 27" iMac:
My everyday workhorse, I've been on the same iMac for the last four years and it's still going strong.
9. Dropbox:
When I finish a client's suite of brand files, I send them a Dropbox download link to access them. It's nice to have their assets stored in a place that they can grab as needed at any time. I have the Pro account and it's more than paid for itself — I literally use it every day.
10. Fellowes Paper Shredder:
I'm super careful when it comes to printing out comps of my clients' works in progress, dealing with junk mail and any other documents I don't want end up in the wrong hands. This shredder takes care of business, handling up to six sheets at a time. Yes, there are cheaper shredders but they jam constantly and there's nothing more annoying than that.
11. Kikki K Weekly Planner:
I'm super basic when it comes to tracking what needs to be done. There are a million apps and digital calendars out there but nothing has worked as well for me as good old fashioned pen and paper. I love these weekly planners because you can see exactly where you have gaps of time for meetings, projects and calls at a quick glance.
12. Spotify:
When I'm busy, I don't have time to sift through a million new albums. I love the endless amount of playlists on here, especially those by Tim Schlesser, who does the Ace Hotel mixes. I turn one on and it lasts all day, allowing me to star the best of the best songs to revisit later.
13. Apple MacBook Air:
I used to have the regular MacBook but after a series of 10 flights in less than a month, I was left with an aching back and knew that the Air was a necessity. I travel with this 13" model everywhere and even though it's super thin and lightweight, it's solid. More importantly, the battery life lasts and lasts.
14. Wacom Tablet:
This medium size gives you room to sketch and explore and you can also pick up an optional mouse to use on the surface when you're not drawing.
15. Poppin Ballpoint Pens:
I splurged when I moved into the new Branch studio last year and bought coordinating Poppin office supplies and not only are they fun but the quality is awesome. I reach for these ballpoint pens constantly.
Okay, now it's your turn! What products and services do you swear by to keep your creative business running smoothly?

The Force is definitely strong with Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher.
Turns out, the two stars were clued in on the bombshell news that new "Star Wars" movies would be coming down the pike, and it was none other than Master Jedi George Lucas himself who spilled the hush-hush intel.
Ah, the perks of having had to endure cinnamon-bun 'dos and metal slave bras!
U.S. & World
"Star Wars"-Disney mashups hit the Web at light speed
"He did tell us last summer about wanting to go on and do [Episodes] VII, VIII, and IX," Hamill tells Entertainment Weekly, "and that [newly appointed Lucasfilm president] Kathleen Kennedy would be doing them."
It all went down during a seemingly innocuous lunch date the three had late in the summer, during which Hamill expected the trio to chat about the Jedi mogul's pending retirement.
"Last August, he asked Carrie and I to have lunch with him, and we did," the 61-year-old actor says. "I thought he was going to talk about either his retirement or the "Star Wars" TV series that I've heard about...So when he said, 'We decided we're going to do Episodes VII, VIII, and IX,' I was just gobsmacked. 'What? Are you nuts?!'"
Disney-"Star Wars" deal: 5 bold ideas for reinventing the franchise
In keeping with his typically cryptic nature, Lucas didn't reveal much to his "Star Wars" alums other than to talk "about writers and the fact that he wouldn't be directing," Hamill recalls. "I guess he wanted us to know before everybody else knew."
The star says he has "mixed feelings" about Disney's acquisition of Lucasfilm but concedes that he's slowly coming around to the idea.
"They haven't done badly by Marvel and the Muppets and Pixar," he notes. "It's one of those big decisions that at first seems unusual but then the more you look at it, the more it makes sense."
What does George Lucas' retirement mean for the franchise?
As for anything else he might have gleaned about the new "Star Wars" movies?
Well, for now Hamill says he doesn't have much to go by. "Until we know more, it's hard to make any comment other than congratulations to George."
Guess we'll just have to try to use our Jedi mind trick on Lucas to steal some intel!


text: Don't know that I've ever eaten anything from a dehydrator. What is the purpose of this? Is this primary a tool to preserve food longer or does it serve some other purpose? It would seem to me that dehydrating food might lead to a concentration of calories which isn't always a win-win. I suppose I'm being crazy (like normal), but the cool thing about hydrated vegetables/food if you can eat a ton of it and never gain any weight….since most of what you're eating is water. What am I missing here?

DENVER -- Former Rep. Rob Witwer quoted GOP stalwarts Barry Goldwater and Dick Cheney on Thursday night during the launch of a Republican group in support of civil unions.
Young and old, gay and straight, the high-powered and the humble gathered to cheer what they see as a growing national acceptance of gay couples. Even a few Democrats dropped in to offer their support to the GOP group Coloradans for Freedom.
Witwer, a Genesee Republican, acknowledged the differences of opinion within his own party on gay rights.
"We come to our beliefs on this issue from a conservative perspective as well, and that is a respect for liberty and a respect for freedom," he said.
Witwer noted that the former vice president said "people ought to be free to enter into any kind of relationship they want," adding Cheney is "hardly a soft Republican or a 'squish.'"

(CBS News) The lawyer for Boston mobster James "Whitey" Bulger says he shouldn't go on trial in November because he had an immunity deal with the government, protecting him from prosecution.
Bulger, 82, was arrested last June after 16 years on the run. He is charged in 19 murders.
Released documents detail "Whitey" Bulger's secret life
Prosecutors recommend 10-year sentence for Whitey Bulger's girlfriend Catherine Greig
After his attorney Attorney J.W. Carney, Jr. files the motion, Bulger - a former government informant - will have a hearing, Newsweek contributor T.J. English explained on "CBS This Morning." English, who has written extensively about the Bulger case says the hearing will be "quite dramatic."
"It will be a full casting call of a lot of the people in the government, in the Justice Department (and the FBI) that have been handling Bulger all those years," he said.
However, Bulger isn't likely to be immune from prosecution, English said, even though he did have some sort of arrangement with officials.
"They knew he was a criminal, they knew he was a killer. This was part of the arrangement they had with him," English said. "... We don't know if it was spelled out on paper. We don't know how many supervisory people were in on this. We don't know who knew about it, who supervised it."
And no one is talking. "A lot of them are retired, they've gone on with their careers, they've retired. In the history of the Bulger saga, not a single supervisory person in the Justice Department or the FBI has ever been held accountable for this relationship, so I imagine a lot of them are squirming in their seats with this information."
Former FBI agent John Connolly, who was Bulger's case agent in the years that he was an informant, is currently serving a 40-year sentence in Florida for his involvement with Bulger - including tipping him and an associate off prior to their 1995 racketeering indictments.
"Connelly was his direct handler," Connolly said. "But what we don't know is who above that supervised that relationship, who else is culpable."
Since his arrest last June, English said many things have been confirmed about Bulger, including "how Machiavellian he is." "He is a master player," English said. "I think we get the sense now that it's possible he's looking forward to this trial. ... It will be his last big power play. It's the last card he has to play, and so I imagine he's relishing the idea of dragging all these people that he did business with in the government over the years, dragging them all out into the open. It's his way of saying good-bye."

Immune drug doesn't help kids with hard-to-treat kidney disorder
The drug rituximab, an antibody that targets the immune system and is often used to treat immune disorders such as lymphoma and arthritis, has recently emerged as a potential treatment for a childhood kidney disorder known as idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS). While the cause of INS is not fully known, it is believed to be an immune disorder. Unfortunately, rituximab does not appear to benefit children who have INS that is resistant to standard treatments, according to a study appearing in an upcoming issue of new study in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN).
INS has an estimated incidence of two to seven cases per 100,000 children and a prevalence of nearly 16 cases per 100,000. Children with the disease excrete large amounts of protein in their urine and exhibit other signs of kidney damage. Gian Marco Ghiggeri, MD (IRCCS Giannina Gaslini Children Hospital, in Genoa, Italy) and his colleagues recently reported that rituximab can successfully lower protein excretion in children with INS that responds to standard treatments consisting of steroids and immunosuppressants called calcineurin inhibitors. Therefore, rituxmab may allow such patients to discontinue these potentially toxic medications.
A few anecdotal cases and small studies also suggest that rituximab may benefit children with INS that is unresponsive to standard treatments. To test this more rigorously, Ghiggeri and his team conducted the first randomized controlled trial of rituximab in 31 children with INS that did not respond to steroids and calcineurin inhibitors. All children in the study continued taking steroids and calcineurin inhibitors at the doses they took before they enrolled. Half of the patients also received two doses of rituximab.
After three months of treatment, rituximab did not reduce protein excretion in the urine.
By identifying which patients benefit from rituximab and which do not, "our work represents a step forward on the road to treating nephrotic syndrome in children," said Dr. Ghiggeri. However, the negative results of this latest study suggest that researchers and clinicians need a much better understanding of INS to develop effective therapies against cases that are resistant to standard treatment.
