Can't Go 100% Local? Eat Meat-Free Once a Week
When it comes to going green, we find that even small choices can have a big impact, like bringing reusable bags to the store, squashing the plastic bottle habit, and swapping to eco-friendly cleaners. And here's one more: a new study shows that simply going meat-free just once a week can make a pretty big impact on greenhouse gas emissions.
We would love to eat entirely local, but find that we lack the time and dedication to make that happen. So we were happy to read that what we're already doing—eating significantly less meat than we used to a couple of years ago—has such a positive impact on our carbon footprint.
According to the study,
"Buying local" could achieve, at maximum, around a 4−5% reduction in GHG emissions due to large sources of both CO2 and non-CO2 emissions in the production of food. Shifting less than 1 day per week's (i.e., 1/7 of total calories) consumption of red meat and/or dairy to other protein sources or a vegetable-based diet could have the same climate impact as buying all household food from local providers.
Have you gone meat-free at least once a week, if not more? We have friends who deem themselves "vegetarian before dinner," and others who prescribe to Meatless Mondays. What about you?

Great idea! We do it in my apartment on occasion, usually without regard for whether or not the dish has meat, simply that it is balanced.
My current roommate, Kathy, has introduced me to legumes. They're AMAZING. And I've had a homemade veggie burger recipe bookmarked for a year now. Might have to make them this weekend!
choosing a meatless diet is one of the single biggest ways you can reduce your carbon footprint. and it's kinder. if you need convincing, read "eating animals."
My bf and I did Meatless Mondays for about 6 months. I was surprised he agreed to it since he's not really a big fan of vegetables.
It expanded my cooking horizons. That was a good thing and a bad thing. On the good side, I learned to make new dishes (and of course all the personal and planet-wide health benefits). On the bad side, not all of them were tasty, they mostly took a lot more effort than grilling a burger, and on the nights when I was just too tired to be creative, we ended up eating pasta with Ragu.
In the end I stopped because it was still taking way more effort than eating meat. I had hoped there would be a learning curve and then it would become quick and easy, but it never did. I know that is a very selfish reason, but there you have it. I might start up again and really focus on simple, quick, nourishing recipes.
My problem was that anything easy tended to be not very nutritious or not very interesting to eat, and most of the nutritious, tasty meals were a lot of work. My vegetarian mom makes AWESOME food but she is a natural foods chef who works from home and spends a lot of her day cooking food.
One of the winners from the whole experiment was the Kitchn's Kale & Potato Gratin. Except I use frozen broccoli instead of kale because I'm lazy (see above).
WRONG! This study was thoroughly debunked by multiple sources almost as soon as it started making the rounds in the blogosphere.
You should strongly consider deleting this post to keep credibility and avoid spreading misinformation.
@Keira, it's a good point that some studies are dated and / or not accurate, but I myself would like to see the actual studies and review of the literature. Treehugger are not famous for their accuracy and what's more they are not a scientific source. Cattle farms do in fact produce methane, although it is short-lived and rice paddies are more to blame for methane release. Nonetheless, potagers / kitchen gardens provide multi-layered habitat for many animals and may even absorb pollution; so aside from monoculture crops like corn that require deforestation, it may be better to container grow or buy from multi-crop farms.
I was a vegetarian for 20 years until a darned wheat allergy knocked me down, now I eat mostly vegan except when I'm feeling anemic. It's a good way to go both health wise and environment wise, but we still need to keep a close eye on where our food comes from, even local food.
@Emmi: Treehugger was not the only source to debunk the study, just the first link I could find in a hurry.
I'm vegetarian, myself, and would love to see more people get on board the vegetarian movement. I just hate seeing people doing trendy things like "go meatless for a day to fix the environment!" and think they're really making a difference.
I haven't eaten meat in almost a year. The environmental effects of producing animal products (not to mention the ethical aspect) was what pushed me to become vegan.
Wow, why did I never think about going meat free for a day a week. There have been many occasions I have had the urge to want to be a vegetarian (for health and ethical reasons), but never have done so. I feel like going meat free for a day a week might help balance out my emotions.
@Keira; Even if people are doing it for the wrong reasons, (being trendy like you said) going meatless for a day can still have an impact even if its not as big as going all the way vegetarian or even as much as the article says. Plus, like other comments have mentioned, it starts getting people to make that push towards becoming a vegetarian.
Besides, as far as "trendy" things go I think a huge amount of people are only going vegan/vegetarian because its trendy so that argument is kinda moot.
@Keira - your point of view seems pretty exclusionary. try to remember there are other colors in the world besides just black and white :)
I don't purposefully avoid meat on any specific day of the week, but I am attempting to change the way I approach meat. Sometimes I've heard it described as ethical carnivorism or humane eating, but no matter what you call it, seeing as how I'm no millionaire, one of the side effects is that I eat a LOT less meat that I did a year ago. I also keep a food diary, so I know that most weeks I have about two or three completely meatless days. Some weeks more, some less. I don't really need a study to tell me that my own eco-print is a little bit smaller on those days I don't eat meat - that's just common sense.
Out of all of my meals, I probably eat meat about 4 times a week. I like vegetables and have learned not to see meat as a necessity for a meal to be complete. I think the biggest obstacle is a mental one: both learning that meat does not have to be the focus and how to cook vegetables in a variety of ways to create tasty and satisfying meals. A good way to start is just by reducing the portion sizes of meat.
I backed off of eating meat about a year and a half ago due to ethical concerns, but didn't think my body would suffer. I did, and struggled with a way to maintain my own nutrition while not compromising on ethical and environmental grounds. We discovered that locally raised, grass-fed meat can be very ethically raised. I do not have an ethical concern for eating meat per se, especially since my body needs it so acutely -- so we have joined a meat CSA that offers different meats from several local farmers. I have heard that when pasture-based farms are operated efficiently, they actually improve the quality of the air and soil. Not to mention be much healthier eatin'. We don't eat meat with every meal to be sure -- I am pretty frugal and pastured meat is pricey -- but I haven't bought that miserable, drugged, hormone-laden, corn fed CAFO nightmare meat in nearly two years!
While I do think that having meatless mondays or consciously reducing one's meat consumption is admirable, I wonder if this post doesn't send people in the wrong direction. Yes, GHG reductions are desirable all around, but eating local is also about buying from smaller providers who grow delicious food the way it was meant to be grown. I'm all for people considering how their meat consumption impacts GHGs, but having a meal composed of fruits and vegetables shipped thousands of miles doesn't necessarily deserve a pat on the back.
@ username26
Thanks for the support! Well, the first paragraph anyways :) I have been thinking a lot about the food system and how it interacts with politics, the environment, culture, etc., and actually making some changes for myself that ended up being much easier than I expected them to be, mostly because I was finally following my own moral path.
That said, if eating meat is neither ethical nor humane for you, I respect that completely. However, I have to say that it sounds awfully pompous for you to tell me "Consider what is involved...and you will see..." My humanity and my ethics are based on my experiences, culture and background - of which you know nothing and are in no position to pass judgement on. There is no "one right answer for everybody" - each individual has to find their own humanity/ethics/morality, within themselves.
I tried to reduce my meat consumption. However, then I was diagnosed with many food allergies/intolerances that pretty much wipe out all alternative protein sources other than quinoa and yogurt. So that got derailed.
I really appreciate your honesty and openness. It seems like we have very similar personal history - I also grew up on a small farm and with a meat-centered family diet (at least when we could afford meat). I think our difference lies in the way we think about slaughter. I don't feel that raising animals for food and slaughter inherently equals pain and suffering for them. Death is a given, for all of us, so to me death itself does not equal pain and suffering. I've seen animals die from natural causes (illness, injury, predatory animal attacks, old age, etc), and I've seen animals die at slaughter. To me, slaughter done correctly is perfectly humane. Few undomesticated animals experience such a painless, instant death.
Of course, between the CAFOs and the factory farms, animals living a good life and dying a good death are now the exception, and not the rule. That's why, as I said, my meat consumption took a nosedive when I converted to eating animals with thought and compassion towards their life - and their death. But I have no plans stop eating meat, and I feel no moral/ethical compunction to do so.
So I guess, while I agree with you that inflicting pain and suffering on animals is definitely wrong, I don't agree that it logically follows that eating meat is therefore wrong.
This is a nice discussion, thanks!
PS @username26
"If you apply personal definitions to these terms [ethics and humanity] then absolutely anything goes."
Just had to add, the above only makes sense to me if I cease to consider human beings as an intelligent, creative, and social species, and instead consider them little more than monsters. I can't do that, I'm sorry.
"Anyway, I'm glad that less horrible meat is becoming more popular. I do think it's better for everyone involved and hope the trend continues towards legislating these practices be followed on all farms, as well as improving them further. I think we can probably agree on that?"
Absolutely we can. I love finding the common ground! Thanks, and have a lovely day.

Henry County authorities say they've found the car belonging to a missing Atlanta grandmother, but so far, there is no sign of her. Lucilla Harris, 72, has been missing since last Friday. Harris' family tells FOX 5 she suffers from dementia, and she doesn't have a cell phone. She drives a gray Saturn Ion with Georgia tags AVH 3948, but usually doesn't stray too far from her Fulton County home.On Friday night, police say her Saturn was discovered off of White Castles Drive in Ellenwood. They say the vehicle is believed to have been abandoned since sometime around Monday afternoon. Police are canvassing the neighborhood where it was found looking for witnesses who might have seen Harris, and they plan to continue searching nearby on Saturday. A K-9 unit also searched the area where the car was discovered, but didn't find anything.Family members don't want to speculate too much on what happened to her, but worry she is out there cold and confused.Anyone who sees Harris should call 911.

Tanker arrives at Cherry Point pushing a whale
the oil tanker Overseas New York arrived at the BP Cherry
Point Refinery last week, the crew of the tug guiding in
the 92,000-ton vessel noticed something unusual. There was
a 60-foot whale draped across the ships bulbous bow.
Somewhere on its trip from Valdez, Alaska to Cherry Point
the ship had struck the whale and kept on going.On
a ship like that you probably cant see it, you cant
feel it when you hit, what can you do? said BP representative
Mike Abendhoff.
Its a mystery how the whale got there, said National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA) representative Brian Gorman. These encounters tend to be chance. Whales usually steer clear.
Whales have not been steering clear enough, and some environmental groups are worried that certain species, specifically the right whale on the east coast, could be faced with extinction if something isnt done to keep whales and fast moving cargo and passenger ships apart. For some mysterious reason, right whales almost always fail to get out of the way of ships. It is possible that acoustic conditions prevent whales from hearing approaching ships, or that whales hear the ships, but have not learned to recognize them as a threat, said a recent World Wildlife Federation report, which listed ship collisions as the primary threat to the right whales.
In the north Pacific fin whales seem to get the brunt of it. Second in weight and size only to the giant blue whale, it is the fastest of the great whales, capable of bursts of speed over 20 miles an hour. Found in all of the worlds oceans, the baleen whales prefer cooler waters and are more common closer to the poles. They have been listed as an endangered species since 1973 and the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) estimates there are less than 2,000 of them off the west coast of North America.
In 1999 the Galaxy cruise ship arrived in Vancouver from Alaska with a dead fin whale lodged on the bow. Earlier this year there was a flurry of whale deaths after collisions with ships, several of them fin whales, in southern California. In August a 60-foot dead fin whale arrived in the port of Seattle on the bow of a Japanese freighter and a few weeks later a smaller fin whale came into Portland, Oregon on a ships bow, said NOAA marine mammal coordinator Brent Norberg. This past couple of months has been a spike as much as the last 13 years, he said.
Gorman said there was a possibility open ocean whales, like the fin whale, could be more susceptible to collisions as they cross shipping lanes while whales that stick close to the coast, like grey whales, do so less often. I really dont think anyone knows, he said. Norberg said they needed more information to determine why certain whales seem to wind up in the path of ships. We dont know if its an issue of not paying attention or not perceiving them as a threat, he said.
Anil Mathur, representing the Alaska Tanker Company which owns the Overseas New York, said this was the first time in the companys five-year history one of their ships had struck a whale. However, he said most of his senior staff have experienced a collision with a marine mammal in their maritime careers. There are whales in the ocean and there are ships in the ocean, he said. We dont know why it happens and we dont know what we can do differently to prevent it from happening.
The whale brought into Birch Bay October 2 could be part of solving the mystery. At the request of NOAA, refinery crews anchored the whale off of Point Whitehorn for several days then brought it ashore for a necropsy. Norberg said they are still waiting for the results, which will give a clearer picture of why the whale might have collided with the ship. All we have now are some very preliminary findings from the initial examination, Norberg said, adding evidence did suggest the animal was alive at the time of the collission. We dont know yet whether the animal was sick or eating something that might have caused different behavior, he said, adding they were also waiting on final reports from the other two fin whales brought into northwest ports. It could be the area where theyre hanging out has shifted, putting them in a traffic lane.
A commercial tug company towed the whale 45 miles out into the Pacific off Cape Flattery for disposal on Friday..

Everybody loves peanut butter. Or, in the case of Curt Riess, everybody loves PB Crave Premium Peanut Butter. Curt was raised on traditional peanut butter –and hated it. Everything changed the moment he tried a delicious mix of peanut butter, raspberries and mouth-watering chocolate. In fact, he loved this new twist on an old classic so much, he created his own peanut butter company and after 40 years of avoiding peanut butter he is now eating it nearly everyday.
Curt's Peanut Butter Company soon developed four unique PB Crave flavors. The exciting new peanut butter is produced by Sweet Harvest Foods in Cannon Falls, MN — where we've focused on uncompromised quality, discriminating taste and unwavering integrity for nearly 100 years.

As stocks hit new highs, gold and silver suffer
Precious metals tumble as inflation fears ease and the US economy shows strength.
But the real action was in gold (-GC) and silver (-SI). Gold in New York fell by $25 to $1,575.90 an ounce. That was down 1.6% on the day, and it continues the pressures that have pushed gold lower for most of the year.
Silver fell by 69.6 cents to $27.25 an ounce in New York. That was the lowest close for the metal since late summer 2012.Gold is down nearly 6% this year and down about 12.3% from a closing peak of $1,796.50 an ounce on Oct. 4, 2012. While silver is off nearly 10% in 2013, it's also down about 22% from an Oct. 1, 2012, peak at $35.608 an ounce. A loss of 20% or more is the popular definition of a bear market.
The reasons for the selling are multiple, all having to do with the dollar:
- There are worries about Europe and the ultra-high unemployment rates in Spain, Italy, Greece and Cyprus.
- Japan has been working to push the yen lower to make its exports more competitive globally.
- The U.S. economy is looking stronger this year, despite a relatively weak jobs market and the potential that federal spending cuts instituted under a 2011 budget deal will stall domestic growth.
- There have been few inflationary pressures. That had many investors worried when the Federal Reserve embarked on its latest bond-buying program. It's usually called QE3, for a third round of quantitative easing.
If there is an immediate reason to be at least wary. Friday is when the Labor Department reports the March unemployment and non-farm payroll numbers. Both are expected to be decent.
Bright Media Corp. estimated late Tuesday that the economy added 223,000 jobs in March. The consensus estimate is about 195,000 with the unemployment rate holding at 7.7%.
The Dow and S&P 500 moved higher in large part because of a big rally in health-insurance stocks. They surged because it appeared premiums paid under the Medicare Advantage plan could move higher. Most investors had expected premium cuts.
The Dow closed up 89 points to 14,662. The blue chips had been up as many as 111 points. The S&P 500, which set a new closing high on Friday, closed up 8 points to 1,570 after reaching as high as 1,573.66.
This last level is important. It was 2.4 points below the S&P 500's all-time intraday high of 1,576.06, reached on Oct. 11, 2007. A solid push through that level could mean the rally has the strength to move higher.
The Nasdaq Composite Index ($COMPX) climbed 16 points to 3,255, its best close since Nov. 7, 2000.
So, health insurer UnitedHealth (UNH) was the top performer among the 30 Dow stocks, up $3.40 to $62.37 after hitting a 52-week high of $63.95. UnitedHealth contributed 26 points to the Dow's by itself. 26 Dow stocks were higher.
DaVila HealthCare Partners (DVA), which provides kidney-dialysis services, jumped $7.29 to $127.20 and was the the top performer among S&P 500 stocks. It, too, hit a 52-week high: $128.74. Eight of the top 10 S&P 500 performers on Tuesday were healthcare stocks.
At the same time, investors were cheered by a gain in factory orders in February. The gain was spurred by growth in commercial aircraft and automobiles.
March auto sales were up 3.4% from March 2012, and the seasonally adjusted annual sales rate moved up to 15.27 million units from 14.14 million units in March 2012. There was a downside to the sales: the sales rate was the lowest of 2013, but the rate has topped 15 million for five straight months.
Ford Motor (F) shares were up 11 cents to $13.01. General Motors (GM) shares rose 13 cents to $27.93.
If there was a theme to the month it was that light trucks, including sport-utility vehicles, were the big sellers. Most manufacturers saw car sales decline; Honda (HMC) was an exception.

To comment on the recent DOW, S&P, jobs, housing and dollar rebound. Stein's law........."If something can't go on forever, it will stop."-Herbert Stein, economist
Take advantage of the recent market upswing, be weary & mindfull that it will not go on forever. It is artificially propped. Interest rates will have to rise at some point in time. Inflation will not be easily concealed and covered up by the government's false CPI data. What comes up, must come down. Learn from the lessons of 2007-2009 and what caused them. Remember that 16 trillion and counting, fiat money printing expanding the money supply, social programs, spending without budgets or means, infinite borrowing with no savings or production is mathematically unsustainable, there will be a day of reckoning at some point in the future. This is all common sense, regardless of investment or financial experience. Do not make the same mistake twice, don't get suckered in with the same dance, different song. That's all I'm saying.
I'm not sure why anyone would be invested in stocks, metals or real estate right now. All three have been artificially inflated by Bernanke dollars and have no threshold assets to retard loss. As they go, they go all the way. In all three venues there are very large players wholly leveraged without safety. Collapse is eminent and both derivatives and debt contracts can force the large players into default. You won't get the chance to sell when the chain reaction drives all three to the bottom.
Are you looking out the window?
The cheerleaders of Wall street don't tell us the real news. The stock market is being artificially inflated thru the Federal Reserve Bank QE. We could be heading towards another financial disaster similar to the one we experience in 2008. Except this time it could be worse.
The recent events in Cypriot should serve as a wake up call to all of us that things are not as they appear. And as far as precious metals goes they are manipulated by JPM to make the dollar look strong. A law suit was brought against JPM which was dropped. Why? Because of JPM political clout.
Banks throughout the west are financially insolvent. When Europe's financial system implodes then that will affect us in the U.S. Other countries such as the BRICS ( Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) see the handwriting on the wall and is actively seeking a way around the USD ( world's reserve currency) they just opened the World Development Bank as a way to circumvent the IMF, BIS and the world bank.

r H fLJulnJ n r Volume 40 Issue 40 Seven positions open Elections petitions circulotin By Michael Tupa Elections for studentbody positions will be held April 15 and 16, and candidates are currently in the process of petitioning for respective offices. The seven positions to be filled by student elections include, studentbody president, academic-vice president, and vice presidents for activities student services, administrative, cultural, and public relations for ASWSC. The office of studentbody president has been held this year by Bryan Steele and the duties of the office include heading up the executive council, participating in the Student Administrative Forum and sitting in on the Institutional council. Scott Adamson has filled the position of academic vice-president this school year, the duties of this office are to head up Iranians weather bad sentiment for prestigious U.S. education By Matt Cole With the negative sentiments Iranian students are receiving on U.S. college campuses, the crisis in their homeland, their inability to come up with tuition payments and bureaucracy pressure of both governments, a person is compelled to wonder how Iranian students are sustaining under these pressures. Tony Spanos, WSC foreign student advisor, said "The Iranians are used to living in tough times. They tend to help one another out and they will do what they have to do to stay in school." The major problem confronting the students is the inability to receive cash from their homeland. Without the money they can't pay tuition, which is essential for them to maintain a visa. Being in this country on a visa also means they cannot receive any U.S. government aid and must be enrolled in school. Problems Began When the Shah was dethroned, problems began. People in Iran were striking, burning records of bank files and the whole system of government in Iran began to crumble. Consequently, it r o due in April, the Academic Assembly and be part of the Faculty Standing Committee. Movies and dances have been under the charge of Sally M. Johnson as activities vice-president, whose other duties include being in charge of the College Activities Board and Union Cultural events. The position of student services vice-president has been headed by Mike Arave and the responsibilities include overseeing projects for married students and Volunteer's in Community Environment. Clay Richardson is the administrative vice-president and his duties have included opinion research and participation in the Administrative Standing CommitteeConvocations have been run by cultural vice-president Rex Leetham, whose office is also in became difficult for the families of the Iranian students to send money. With the present regime under the Ayatollah Khomeini, families are finding it even harder to send money to the U.S. This is because the Ayotollah does not believe in what the Western world stands for and does not want money coming here. To compromise with the Iranian's position the college administration set up a deferred payment plan for those students experiencing financial troubles. This plan allows the student to pay tuition by making payments throughout the quarter. All but six students have been able to come up with tuition payments for winter quarter. Spanos said. Corrupt With the difficulties Iranians are facing, why can't they attend college in their own country? "The education system in Iran is so competitive and tough only a fraction can get in," said Spanos. The education system is also corrupt and at any given time some radical may go to the administration office of the college and burn the files. WEBER n charge of concerts. The office of public relations has been filled by Chris Malan and the responsibilities include campus relations, community relations and hjgh school relations. Petitions for all these offices are now available at the student government office from the secretary. They must be turned in by March 11 with 50 signatures in order for a candidate to be qualified. In cases where three or more people qualify to run for the same office a primary election will be held, April 8 and 9 to reduce the field to two candidates per office. Final elections will be held April 15 and 16. Among the people who picked up petitions for studentbody president thus far include Mike Arave and Ken Stiltner. In Iran it is prestigious to have gone to school abroad. Spanos said that a person in Iran with a degree from an American university is almost guaranteed a high paying job with an oil company. To obtain a visa, the Iranian student must meet certain requirements. WSC has an "1-20" form which each Iranian student must fill out to be judged by the college, then sent to the American Embassy to be judged. If both committees agree that the student passes the requirements, he is allowed into this country as long as he is enrolled in a college and maintaining a minimum grade point average. Basically, the only way an Iranian can obtain citizenship is by marriage to an American citizen. The other way is by assuming the foreigner had a job at an American firm and the firm felt the person's skills were irreplaceable. The firm would then most likely petition for the person's citizenship. Spanos indicated that recently there have been more marriages among foreign students to American citizens. After graduation, over 90 percent of the foreign students return to their native country.

At least 50 signatures are necessary for a student to run for office. Photo by Dave Barrett. Running again? Paulsen ponders political position By Michael Tupa "Well, I travel around the country, do a lot of colleges. I stay in a lot of hotels and you know, I figured since I was doing this for Marriott, I figure I'd maybe get some free rooms because of doing a favor like this." Uh-huh. This was the reason given by former presidential candidate Pat Paulsen, who is hosting an upcoming fund-raising dinner for congressman Dan Marriott, according to a press release from the Marriott office. The event will be held March 21 in the Hotel Utah Grand Ballroom at 7 p.m. Confused? When informed this wasn't J. Willard Marriott, the hotel magnate, Paulsen said. "Oh, this is ah-oh, goash, I didn't well then, I'm doing this because we're old buddies and I'm the kind of guy who helps his friends a lot." Paulsen then went on to say if Marriott is re-elected he hopes to receive help on his next Presidential campaign. Paulsen was the head of the STAG Party. (Straight Talkin' American Government). He ran for the Presidency because "I thought I'd look good on a dime." About the dinner, Paulsen said he was going "to be the host with the roast." Raises Money He recalled his own 89 cent-a-plate dinner-fund raiser in which he raised $200 one night. The dinner is being billed as Marriott's kick off for campaign. Other guests will include Orrin Hatch, Jake Garn, Don Clausen, congressman from California and Guy Vander Jagt, congressman from Michigan.

|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

- Friday, January 26, 2007
I have a friend named Jim, who many people would think of as gay, or at least bisexual. However, he doesn't see himself that way. He is married but has been attracted to men for as long as he can remember. His wife is the only girl he has ever been with and he says, "She is still the only woman that turns me on."
Although I am not Jim's counselor, he and I often talk about matters of sexuality since I research and write in that arena and he lives it.
So since Jim is mainly attracted to guys, why isn't he openly gay and why did he get married? For Jim, it is a primarily a matter of being true to his beliefs.
"I wrestled with the question of what my faith teaches, what do I believe, and no matter how many different ways I look at it, I cannot reconcile my sexual attractions with my faith," he explained.
Ironically, his church and his religion did not always support his faith.
As an evangelical Christian, Jim looked to ministries designed to help him with his struggle. Although the groups were well-intentioned, he did not find much encouragement. Jim recalls,
A few years ago, when I was debating whether or not to "embrace" my homosexuality, I heard a radio broadcast from a ministry I trusted. I still highly respect them, even today. But I believe that they have blinders on, that allow them to see homosexuality in only one way. Anyway, I listened to the broadcast on homosexuality, complete with some very moving testimonies. And then the host came on and said, essentially, that homosexuality was a sickness, and Jesus Christ was in the business of healing. Well, I've been a Christian since 1971, have asked God to take my attractions to men away so many times I've lost count, and still struggle with it.
It was a moment of complete hopelessness.
Despite many prayers and counseling sessions, Jim still felt bothered by his feelings. The alternative point of view was not attractive: perhaps God was unable to change him.
As a means to find help, he explored the reasons he was attracted to guys. "It didn't help much. I know what all the theories say and I have been through counseling about that but I still am attracted to certain guys."
"The theories" Jim is referring to is the oft-cited viewpoint among social conservatives that being homosexual, at least for men, stems from a lack of early bonding with one's father. To be sure, Jim's dad fit the stereotype.
"My relationship with my dad was very poor. Frankly, he was quite abusive. But it was so bad, that I never had any desire to bond with him, or repair anything."
Although Jim's life matches up well with predictions based on the common view, he does not think he is attracted to men because of his poor relationship with his father. He explains, "My brother and sister also were abused. Neither of them struggles with homosexuality, as far as I am aware."

Arizona Cardinals
ESPN analyst says Fitzgerald is frustrated, but 'sold out' for Cardinals
Former NFL receiver and current ESPN NFL analyst Cris Carter is glad he's not Larry Fitzgerald.
Carter caught 1,101 passes over his 16-year career, which was spent with the Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota Vikings and Miami Dolphins.
He was one of the best receivers in the game, though he has not caught a pass since retiring after the 2002 season.
And yet, Fitzgerald caught just one more pass than Carter did this past Sunday.
"He is not our typical wide receiver but he's very frustrated, though," Carter told ESPN's Mike & Mike Tuesday morning.
Fitzgerald is having one of the worst seasons of his career, and is on pace to catch just 75 passes for 867 yards and five touchdowns. He's been held to five catches over the last three games -- on 26 targets -- and his team is riding an eight-game losing streak.
"There's no greater competitor in the National Football League than Larry Fitzgerald," Carter said. "There is no wide receiver who likes to look good better than Larry Fitzgerald.
"There is no guy who wants to get the ball and loves seeing himself get the ball to affect the overall outcome of the game."
He has been unable to do that this season, largely through no fault of his own. Fitzgerald has caught passes from three different quarterbacks in 2012 as the Cardinals have searched for someone to replace Kurt Warner.
There is no end in sight to the quest, and Carter said Fitzgerald knew this was possible. That said, the analyst noted his friend is not looking to leave the desert.
"He is very, very frustrated, but he is sold out for the Cardinals," Carter said. "That's his team, that's where he's going to make his home, that's where he's going to live his life."

daughter, Serene – born just days after her father died.

The Animal Humane Society and Kindest Cut: Legal Implications and Requirements of Offering Veterinary Services in MN
Backyard to Battery Cages: Egg and Poultry Production, Consumption and Regulation
On 1/31/13, the Animal Law Section (ALS) held a meeting to discuss whether to publicly support SF 36 and HF 84 which would regulate commercial dog and cat breeders in Minnesota. The ALS voted to express public support and submitted its proposal to the MSBA for approval on 2/12/13. The ALS sought and obtained the Agricultural & Rural Law Section's position on the ALS's proposed public position on 2/14/13. Unfortunately, the ALS's proposal to publicly support the legislation was pre-empted by MSBA President Bob Enger on 2/15/13. Mr. Enger stated SF 36 and HF 84 required funding and was therefore highly likely to conflict with the MSBA's position supporting adequate funding for the courts, public defenders, and civil legal services. Consequently, the ALS was not able to express public support for the bills prior to June 30, 2013.

E.O. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
- X-ray optics
- Slope measuring instrumentation
- Measures mirror slopes with very high degree of accuracy
- Software adaptable to other laser slope measuring instruments
Developed for use at Berkeley National Laboratory's Advanced Light Source, the Long Trace Profiler (LTP) assures mirror quality by measuring the surface profile of long, high radius-of-curvature X-ray mirrors. Berkeley National Laboratory's new three beam processing technique now makes it possible to measure mirrors with unprecedented accuracy by characterizing artifacts of the LTP that add small errors to mirror measurement. In this technique, the LTP's probe beam is split three ways, and small changes in the LTP probe head and even changes in the probe beam are monitored and used to correct the mirror surface measurement. Berkeley National Laboratory scientists have written an R&D 100 award-winning algorithm for making this correction, and have incorporated it into the software package that controls the LTP. This software can be applied in compensating for laser pointing instability in slope measuring instruments, including surface profilers and coordinate measuring instruments, using optical methods.

This was an excellent recipe! Loved the balsamic glaze with the strawberries. Would be good on fish, too. The bacon-wrapped pork was tasty on its own, too.
Pork Tenderloins with Balsamic Strawberries
Photo: Becky Luigart-Stayner; Styling: Caroline M. Cunningham
Wrap the pork tightly with bacon to give it smoky flavor and a crispy crust.
This recipe goes with Pork Pesto Panini
Yield: Makes 4 servings
- 1 (3-lb.) package pork tenderloins
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
- 10 bacon slices
- 2 (8-oz.) packages haricots verts (thin green beans)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 4 garlic cloves, divided
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/3 cup strawberry preserves
- 1/2 cup quartered fresh strawberries
- 1. Preheat grill to 400° to 500° (high) heat. Sprinkle pork with pepper and 1 tsp. salt; wrap 5 bacon slices around each tenderloin, and secure with wooden picks.
- 2. Place green beans, 1 Tbsp. olive oil, 2 garlic cloves, and remaining 1 tsp. salt in center of a 24- x 18-inch piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil; toss to coat. Bring up sides of foil over beans; double fold top and side edges to seal, making a packet.
- 3. Turn off one side of grill. Arrange pork and foil packet over unlit side, and grill, covered with grill lid, 25 to 30 minutes.
- 4. Meanwhile, mince remaining 2 garlic cloves; sauté in remaining 1 Tbsp. hot olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. Add vinegar; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in preserves. Reserve half of mixture for basting. Stir fresh strawberries into remaining mixture.
- 5. Remove foil packet from grill; transfer pork to lit side. Baste pork with reserved strawberry mixture. Grill 5 more minutes over lit side, turning once. Remove pork from grill; reserve 1 tenderloin for Pork Pesto Panini. Slice remaining tenderloin, and serve with strawberry mixture and green beans.
- LEFTOVER DINNER: Pork Pesto Panini. Cut reserved pork from Pork Tenderloins with Balsamic Strawberries into 18 thin slices. Drain 1 (7-oz.) jar roasted red bell peppers; cut peppers into 6 pieces. Spread 2 tsp. pesto on each of 6 artisan bread slices. Top each with 3 pork slices, 1 red pepper piece, 1 (1-oz.) Havarti cheese slice, and 1 bread slice. Cook in a preheated panini press 2 to 3 minutes or until golden. Makes 6 servings.

The Run Down
Jeff Luhnow is so flippin' awesome. I cannot stress this enough. In little more than a year at the helm of the Astros, he's turned the organization into one of the most fascinating franchises in the sport. Obviously, they're not among the better ball clubs — not at the MLB level, at least — but by surrounding himself with baseball bloggers and NASA engineers, Luhnow has created an environment that celebrates new ideas and is well ahead of the curve in terms of analytics. Houston had a few nice prospects in place when he arrived, but the system as a whole was shallow and weak. Luhnow spent his first year cutting big league payroll, adding depth to the farm via trade, and spending big in the draft. I imagine more of the same is in store for 2013, so expect another sub-60 win season as Houston joins the AL West. It might be a few years before they're competitive again, the Astros are transforming much more quickly than I thought was possible. They're building cost-controlled depth, and waves of promising prospects are set to arrive in Houston beginning this year. So even if Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio aren't voted into the HOF this afternoon, Astros fans can sleep soundly. The future is bright, indeed, for Houston.
