The brilliant waxing gibbous moon will wash out a lot of stars from the nighttime tonight – February 8, 2014 – but if you look closely in the moon's glare, you might see the star Aldebaran, brightest star in the constellation Taurus the Bull. If you can't see Aldebaran with the unaided eye, try shielding the moon with your finger and then look for this star. You might also see the The Pleiades star cluster in the moon's glare tonight. It looks like six stars in the shape of a tiny dipper. Meanwhile, the brightest object near the moon tonight will be the planet Jupiter.
You'll surely see Jupiter because it's so bright. But if you can't see the Pleiades or Aldebaran (which will be closer to the moon than Jupiter), try binoculars.
Earth passed between the sun and Jupiter on January 5, 2014. We are now fleeing ahead of this planet in our smaller, faster orbit. But Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, and it's always bright. In February 2014, it's the brightest starlike object in the night sky until Venus rises in the east before the sun.

Aldebaran and the Pleiades both reside in the constellation Taurus. Because Taurus is a constellation of the Zodiac, the ecliptic – the pathway of the sun, moon and planets – passes right through it, to the north of Aldebaran but south of the Pleiades cluster.
In predictable cycles, the moon in its orbit can travel anywhere from 5o north to 5o south of the ecliptic when it passes through the constellation Taurus the Bull. In 2014, the moon swings south of the ecliptic but to the north of Aldebaran every month. However, starting on January 29, 2015, the moon will occult – cover over – Aldebaran every month until September 3, 2018. But you have to be on the right spot on Earth to witness any lunar occultation of a star.
For the rest of this year, though, the moon will pass south of the ecliptic and to the north of Aldebaran whenever it goes in front of the constellation Taurus the Bull.
Bottom line: The brightest object near the moon on the night of February 8, 2014 is Jupiter. If you look closely in the moon's glare, you might see two other objects: the bright star Aldebaran and the dipper-shaped Pleiades star cluster. Both are in the constellation Taurus the Bull.

A frustrated businessman and an x-ray machine. Strange bedfellows, for sure, but it was that odd combination that led directly to the creation of Titleist, the world's most famous and successful golf ball manufacturer.
Phillip "Skipper" Young was one of the founders of Acushnet, a rubber company based in Massachusetts. A keen golfer who was dismayed at his lack of consistency on the course Young decided to see if the blame lay with his equipment. When he x-rayed his golf balls he discovered that the rubber cores were not properly centred: Young had found the reason for his erratic play and quickly set about finding the solution.
In 1930 Young unveiled the first Titleist golf ball – proving its effectiveness by using the world's first mechanical golfer to show how consistent his ball was – and a revolution in golf ball production began. World War Two interrupted Titleist's advance but the resumption of proper professional golf after 1945 allowed the company's growth to continue.
By 1949 Titleist was the most popular golf ball at the US Open and Titleist has continued to dominate as the number one choice of tour professionals ever since. At Torrey Pines in 2008 Titleist celebrated its sixtieth straight year as top ball at the US Open.
As the Titleist brand grew the company began to branch out and, in 1962, acquired the company that made the Bulls Eye putter. By the end of the 1960's it was possible for the budding amateur and the hardened professional to use Titleist drivers, Titleist irons and Titleist putters, hit Titleist balls and carry the whole lot in a Titleist bag.
More than seventy years after "Skipper" Young brought the forensic properties of an x-ray machine to bear on his golfing frustrations, the brand he created continues to represent the best in excellence and consistency.
From the Pro V1 golf ball, through the Scotty Cameron putter range and Vokey wedges, Titleist remains the brand that golfers across the world want to be seen with.

TRP Company Blur Relief - 0.5 oz.
TRP Company Blur Relief is a patented formula of all natural, homeopathic agents, scientifically engineered for the health of your eyes. According to homeopathic indications these ingredients provide temporary relief from symptoms associated with presyobia such as:
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Presbyopia?Presbyopia translated from Greek means "aging eye." It is a condition that causes vision to progressively blur with age, causing eye fatigue, poor night vision and reliance on bifocals & reading glasses. This homeopathic formula is designed tp stimulate the body's ability to support eye vitality and refresh tired, dry, red and irritated eyes.
What is Blur Relief™?Blur Relief™ is a homeopathic eye drop with seven active ingredients which are indicated to address blurry vision, dry, red, tired eyes and poor night vision from glare.
How does Blur Relief™ work?Blur Relief™ works via the traditional homeopathic mode of action, which is that it utilizes small amounts (micro-dilutions) of ingredients which would cause, in a large dose – blurry, dry, red and tired eyes. These ingredients in a micro-dilution gently stimulate the immune system to address these symptoms.
Can I use Blur Relief™ with contact lenses in place?People report the drops feel great with contacts. You should consult your doctor before use.
Should I see a doctor?Blurry vision may be a symptom of other conditions which should be ruled out by an doctor.
How long should I use Blur Relief™ before getting relief?Every individual is different and since the homeopathic active ingredients are stimulating the body's response, results will vary from person to person. Generally, results will be very gradually noticed between weeks to months. Dryness, redness and sensation of fatigue are often relieved immediately. People report that the drops feel wonderful to use and have a soothing, vitalizing effect
What adverse reactions, drug interactions, contra-indications, or possible complications are there?Homeopathic remedies have a 200 year history of having no known adverse reactions or drug interactions. They are okay for children and adults. USE ONLY AFTER DIAGNOSES BY A PHYSICIAN. A physician should always be consulted to rule out serious causes. Initial worsening of symptoms may occur, a situation known by homeopathic doctors as a healing aggravation. If this occurs, discontinue use until symptoms subside, then resume use.
Overview: What Is Homeopathy?Homeopathy is a system of complementary medicine, based on observations of natural healing over thousands of years.
Homeopathy is based on laws of nature and has been used successfully for over 200 years. It was formalized into a scientific treatment modality in 1796 by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann. Dr. Hahnemann documented that the underlying cause of disease was solved by preparing all-natural remedies. These remedies are made by repeatedly diluting and potentizing active homeopathic ingredients.
The "like cures like" principle says that a sick person can be cured by taking very small amounts of ingredients that cause their pain. As an example, Nux Vomica is an ingredient in a few TRP products (most notably TRP's Fibromyalgia Relief™). Nux Vomica is a poisonous flower, but with a small amount that has been diluted, it may help symptoms such as sleeplessness or irritable bowels (TRP's Irritable Bowel Syndrome Therapy™). Another example is salicylic acid which causes ringing of the ears in a toxic overdose and in a microdilution, triggers relief of the same symptoms (TRP's Ring Relief™).
Understanding Homeopathic Drug PotencyA principle tenent of homeopathy is the observation that the medicine is more effective as the active ingredient(s) are diluted and potentiated. Because many homeopathic ingredients are potent, volatile, and sometimes even harmful in their most natural form, TRP dilute the substance enough to maintain their healing properties while still making them safe for human consumption. On a drug ingredient panel, the active ingredient will be followed by a number, then a "C" or an "X". This number ("12X") represents how many times the ingredient has been diluted and potentized.
What's The Difference Between Homeopathy & Conventional Medicine?It is generally accepted that there are three types of treatments available:
Conventional medicine traditionally utilizes the first two options while Homeopathy, the third – attempting to trigger the body's self regulating (immune) system to perform.
For example: lubricant eye drops replace tears – homeopathic drops stimulate tears. Antibiotics kill bacteria – homeopathic medicines trigger stronger immune response. Cataract surgery removes the offending tissue but doesn't address the underlying chronic deficiency – homeopathy stimulates the body to reverse the deficiency.
What's the difference between herbs and homeopathy?There are a number of differences between herbs and homeopathy:
Homeopathy uses a strict scientific set of rules to determine which remedy is indicated for which symptom/condition utilizing the "Law of Similars", or "Like Cures Like" as the guideline. Its remedies are processed and regulated (in the U.S.) by the FDA according to the strict guidelines of the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States (HPUS).
Is homeopathy regulated?All homeopathic remedies are regulated in the United States by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA), according to the strict guidelines of the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States. All active homeopathic ingredients listed in the required "drug facts panel" which are appended with the acronym "HPUS" must be manufactured according to the strict guidelines of the homeopathic pharmacopoeia of the United States, the guiding reference for the FDA's regulating of homeopathic medicines.
Can Homeopathic Medicines Be Taken In Conjunction With Other Medications?Every case is different, so TRP would recommend consulting with your health care provider first. However, homeopathic medicines are safe, have no known side effects, and are often used in conjunction with other medications. Many people have used homeopathy treatments as complementary with other treatments.
Can I Use Homeopathic Medicines By Myself, Without A Doctor's Permission?TRP recommend seeking the advice of a doctor before undergoing any type of treatment. However, homeopathic medicines are safe, and are clearly labeled with warnings and directions for proper use. Please read carefully, and follow the directions.
Are Homeopathic Medicines Safe To Use While Pregnant?Like any other treatment or medication, pregnant women should seek their physician's advice before using TRP products.
Can I Treat My Child With Homeopathic Medicines?For treating children that are older than 2 years old, please follow the directions clearly printed on all product labels. For children under the age of 2, consult a physician.
Does Homeopathic Medicine Have An Expiration Date?Many homeopathic medicines last between two and five years before expiring. Some homeopathic medicines have no expiration dates, and, as such, are safe to use indefinitely.
Can Animals Be Treated With Homeopathic Medicines?Homeopathic medicines have been used to treat pets, farm animals, competitive animals, and even wild animals. For further information, please contact your veterinarian or homeopathic veterinary reference book.

Puppy Mill Bust
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Submitted by Connie | January 4 2013 | Permalink
I believe in shutting down the mills but let us not forget those poor puppies in the pet stores or mills. They need homes still in spite of everything else. The shelters are overwhelmed. We can be vigilant but please don't let these poor animals suffer anymore than they have.
Submitted by Xandrie | August 29 2013 | Permalink
That's pretty much what the story is about, Connie.
Submitted by Wendy Klinke | June 7 2013 | Permalink
This could be your next door neighbor , and you might not even know!! This is why I foster! This is why, when I see a pet store I ask them about the puppies...where they came from etc Then... I let everyone in the store Know The TRUTH!! I start shouting about puppy mills, I point out why these puppies should not be drinking from water bottles! I point out the listless ones, the ones with eye drainage, the bad coats, the thin! I do get escorted out of the store, but not before I make sure everyone there knows about rescues, and the number if dogs being killed because there is no room at the shelters. And not before I have those people leaving the store, and coming to ask me questions...

SCV Fishing Report December 4th: Local Lakes and Saltwater Report
Once again, it's time for the Tuesday fish report for KHTS AM-1220:
Freshwater Report:
1) Castaic Lake...Very good striper fishing near the Marina, Kong Island, Necktie Canyon and the Buoy Line; the stripers are chasing the planted trout. A 14 pound striper was caught this past week! Toss a kastmaster or small swimbait for best results. Another trout stocking will take place TODAY.
2) Pyramid Lake...Good striper fishing here, because of a recent 2700 pound trout plant; anything that resembles a trout works the best. Fair fishing for largemouth bass; catfishing is fair to good on cut baits and nightcrawlers.
3) Lake Piru...The bass are enjoying the higher water level of the lake and are biting in depths of 8 feet to 25 feet. The crappie are liking it too; find some structure and fish small jigs with meal worms for them.
4) Lake Cachuma...Everything is slow, except the trout fishing. For trollers, fish with Rapalas near the Dam, Harvey's Bay or Cachuma Bay. Shore anglers should try Marina Point, E Point or the Mohawk Pier.
Another trout plant is scheduled for 12/13 (so, why not call in sick!...I'm kidding).
Saltwater Report:
Landings from Long Beach to Marina Del Rey:
The "Monte Carlo" from 22nd Street Landing, on its 1/2 day run on Saturday morning got 29 red snapper, 38 rockfish, 13 whitefish, and 6 sheephead. Meanwhile on the "Enterprise" from Long Beach Marina, 19 anglers brought back 53 rockfish, 38 salmon grouper, 11 red snapper, 14 sheephead, 95 sculpin and 7 whitefish. No recent reports from Redondo. Mostly rockfish and some sculpin and a few lings from the Marina Del Rey fleet.
Oxnard/Ventura Landings:
At Cisco Landing, the "Ranger 85" returned Sunday from a 2 day trip with 29 anglers; they caught 60 lingcod, 580 rockfish, 50 whitefish, 15 sheephead, and 2 bonito. The "Pacific Islander" with 17 anglers nabbed 25 lingcod, 170 rockfish, 29 whitefish and 39 sheephead. The "Aloha Spirit" returned Monday from its weekly "lingcod special" with 19 lingcod, 229 rockfish, 58 whitefish, and 7 sheephead. At Ventura Sportfishing, the "Pacific Eagle" on a Sunday twilight trip with only 6 anglers got 28 calico bass, 32 sand bass, 4 rockfish, 1 lingcod and 1 cabezon. Live squid is still plentiful.
...okay, until next week, Halibut Hal signing off for your Hometown Station, KHTS AM-1220.

Led by London-based improvisatory cellist Ben Davis, Basquiat Strings caused a stir in 2007 when its debut self-titled album was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize. Recorded in 2009 but only now released, 'Part Two' is very much a companion piece to the original. The sextet's blend of through-composed tunes – of complex, jagged rhythmic structures or sostenuto calm – and extended improvising space is as beguiling as before. Davis remains the outstanding improviser among the string players (his sotto voce opening solo on History of Her is sublime), but every player takes at least one solo.
There are differences too, however. As well as mixed classical (Bartók and Pärt) and jazz influences, there are nods to South American melodies and rhythms. Seb Rochford's sympathetic drumming is even more integrated into the overall texture while the ensemble playing, and the recording, is intimate and refined. And in contrast to the original CD, apart from a pleasingly sleazy version of 'It Ain't Necessarily So', an inventive double-stopped cello solo, all the pieces here are by Davis. His distinctive compositional voice and the group's tighter playing makes 'Part Two' a more mature recording, even if his tunes aren't always as memorable as the covers of part one.

A Dangerous Nexus: Crime, Conflict, and Terrorism in Failing States
When the United Nations was established after the Second World War, organized crime and terrorism had almost nothing to do with international peace and security. Yet the collapse of Communism, the opening of illicit markets through globalization, and the proliferation of underdeveloped and weakly governed states has given rise to a new era of global crime as well as transnational terrorism.

Moderated by Rick Badie
Atlanta has a reputation for attracting and breeding entrepreneurs, especially the tech savvy. Fast Magazine, which chronicles trends in technology, innovation and leadership, recently named our city the next technology hub. Today, a local chamber executive charts the region's technology growth, while a counterpart does likewise for Chattanooga, an emerging tech city.
Commenting is open below Sam Williams' column.
By J. Ed Marston
Chattanooga may have seemed an unlikely candidate to emerge as a tech hub, but recent announcements reveal an entrepreneurial scene that's been bubbling to a boil for some time.
On Dec. 10, Access America, a tech-oriented logistics company founded in Chattanooga by three entrepreneurs in 2002, unveiled plans to more than double its 425-person workforce while growing its annual revenues of $382 million to over $1 billion.
In North Chattanooga, Woople, a revolutionary e-learning web application, is celebrating its three-year anniversary, having delivered over 30 million minutes of user-generated educational video to more than 130,000 e-learners. And newly formed Variable Technologies is flush with orders thanks to a Forbes article entitled "NODE: What Every Techie Wants for Christmas." It praised the company's cutting-edge, palm-sized wireless sensor that works with a smartphone.
Here's how Chattanooga is fueling the entrepreneurial fire for tech innovations:
— Step 1: Establish America's first Gig City. In 2010, EPB, Chattanooga's municipally-owned utility, began operating America's first community-wide Gig Network. With fiber to more than 172,000 homes and businesses in a 600-square-mile area, the network can deliver data speeds of up to 1,000 megabits per second. Claris Networks, a cloud-computing company, quickly discovered it was cheaper and easier to deliver its services from Chattanooga to other markets, causing them to relocate most of their technical infrastructure here.
Chattanooga-based Diagnostic Radiology Consultants enjoys increased productivity equivalent to adding another doctor to the group because it can spend more time reading images and less time waiting on downloads and uploads. Meanwhile, Chattanooga-based Global Green Lighting is installing network-controlled LED street lights across the city that will save taxpayers an estimated 75 percent on bills.
— Step 2: Serve as the nation's living laboratory for the Internet of the future. Being located in Chattanooga gives companies a head start on pioneering and defining the ultra-bandwidth Internet every city will eventually enjoy. National tech players are taking notice.
Chattanooga served as the model community of the future during a White House press conference announcing the U.S. Ignite initiative to develop next generation infrastructure and applications. The utility has already used its fiber optic network to deploy the nation's most advanced and automated Smart Grid. Many cities impacted by Hurricane Sandy and other storms look to Chattanooga for guidance.
Alcatel-Lucent, Warner Brothers, CISCO and IBM all invested in the first GigTank, which brought entrepreneurs and students from all over the world to Chattanooga to spend 100 days developing ultra-bandwidth applications with room, board and seed capital provided.
Banyan, which won last summer's Gig Tank for developing a platform for scientific researchers to collaborate on massive data files, recently announced it is moving to Chattanooga because of its founders missed the speed and productivity of the Gig Network.
— Step 3: Enrich the pipeline of tech talent. Chattanooga is amping up its talent pipeline with a new STEM High School and Innovation Hub to provide project-based learning in science, technology, engineering and math to students. Chattanooga State and the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga offer excellent post-secondary programs in technical fields.
Chattanooga has also launched GeekMove, a relocation incentive for experienced programmers and others with technical expertise. Currently, applications are open for 10 relocation incentives, including which include a $10,000 forgivable second mortgage and $1,250 for relocation expenses. Details are available at geekmove.com.
The foundation for these strategies is excellent collaboration among government officials, investors, private companies, foundations, accelerators, the Chattanooga Chamber's INCubator and institutions of K-12 and higher education. The success of Chattanooga's tech companies bespeaks the quality of that cooperation. That's the Chattanooga Way of doing things.
J. Ed Marston is vice president of marketing and communication for the Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce.
By Sam Williams
Atlanta stands as one of the country's most significant and innovative technology hubs.
That standing is partly based on a history of success in attracting and growing top technology companies. Our world-class universities and our ability to develop a critical mass of companies in the field has provided the foundation for a true global center for technology business.
The decades-long building of our technology ecosystem is what has kept Atlanta years ahead of industry changes. It has kept our city at the forefront of key developments across the technology industry.
Georgia Tech, Emory University and Georgia State University are global leaders in technology and bioscience degree programs. Companies headquartered here are some of the world's largest and most influential.
From the early days of Peachtree Software, which revolutionized accounting software, to the kick-off of pioneers like Scientific Atlanta and McKesson Corp., Atlanta technology companies have always stretched the boundaries of innovation and shaped the way the world thinks about technology, its uses and products.
Georgia now has some 13,000 technology companies employing 250,000 technology workers. It is home to pioneers like AT&T Mobility, CNN and Damballa Inc., each of which represent next-generation technology development and talent.
Meanwhile, we continue to grow numerous new technology stars through stellar incubators like the Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC). Stand-out ATDC graduates include Theragenics Corp. and CardioMEMs, Inc.
Atlanta has become what industry leaders describe as the technology ecosystem of the real world. We have the people and companies that drive the content – companies like The Weather Channel and Turner Broadcasting System. We make the software and provide the best in Internet security through companies like IBM Internet Security Systems. We process the payments through companies like Global Payments Inc., and we do the most innovative research and development in the industry. Some 70 percent of all credit card and debit transactions that are handled in the U.S. are handled by companies based in Georgia.
Atlanta also holds the key to long-term technology growth. We have targeted and developed key strengths in the most vibrant areas for growth, such as financial technology, health care IT, e-commerce, logistics/supply chain software and mobility. Just about every technology company in the world is developing a mobility strategy. Atlanta stands at the epicenter of mobile technology development.
Atlanta also is fortunate to provide a talented, creative and diverse workforce due to the region's proximity to 57 colleges and universities with more than 250,000 enrolled students. Top-ranked university business programs continue to produce talent to aid in technology business development.
Every year, a new class of students matriculate at Georgia Tech, Georgia State University, Emory University, the University of Georgia, our historically black colleges and universities, and dozens of institutions close to our city. The national reputation of these schools allows Atlanta technology companies to have first choice among the brightest students.
We are busy growing the next generation of innovation, from engineering software research to health IT applications coming out of Emory University, to Kennesaw State University's mobile apps lab. Companies are doing the same through initiatives like the GE Smart Grid Technology Center of Excellence and the Novelis Global Research & Technology Center, which opened in Kennesaw in June.
Metro Atlanta has a significant market access advantage over competitors, driven in large part by Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the world's busiest airport. Our global and U.S. market accessibility is crucial to our success.
Atlanta also has the customers. We are ranked No. 3 by Forbes Magazine among top cities with the most Fortune 500 companies. These are companies committed to supporting entrepreneurial growth.
We are a technology founder and leader based on decades of success and a consistent, pervasive focus on this field. Atlanta will remain one of the world's most important global technology hubs.
Sam Williams is president of the Metro Atlanta Chamber.

Wouldn't it be amazing if the folks in Atlanta and Chattanooga realized that their cities are part of a region, and started collaborating rather than dissing or ignoring each other. They might really accomplish something!

I have a 20 minute bike ride to work; walk to restaurants, bars, and entertainment; take the train to the airport; use my car only once or twice a week for errands; and don't sit in traffic congestion for two hours every day. And I live in Atlanta. If you drive to downtown Chattanooga OR downtown Atlanta and park your car there are plenty of things to do on foot. And if you go beyond downtown Chattanooga you will definitely find congestion. I have crawled through the interstate system on many occasions trying to get from one side to the other. Chattanooga is cute, a nice place to visit, and has a number of progressive initiatives underway. It's also a very small city with a geography that you would not find livable based on your criteria even if you just doubled the population (and it would still be only a fraction of Atlanta's size).
Atlanta has its problems but you can certainly live here without spending all of your time stuck in traffic. And then you have plenty of time to enjoy the wealth of cultural, educational, and professional opportunities, not to mention the global connectivity. And be careful about overselling the idyllic life in Chattanooga. Before long you'll be living in Murfreesboro complaining about how bad things are in Chattanooga.

I visit every so often because I love parking, getting out, and walking throughout a city, Chatt being a prime example (that and we do some work over in Cleveland). I'd move there in a heart beat if the right job prospect presented itself. I like it almost as much as Portland for the same reasons.
December 19th, 2012
2:49 pm
MANGLER good point! In fact, ATL's congestion is why I called it quit there after 15 years and headed north to Chattanooga. The number of people that I've met 20 and 30 something that could have lived anywhere and chose Chattanooga is really amazing. I love ATL and still visit often, but now I love my life and not my car. Come up and visit and you'll see for yourself.
December 19th, 2012
1:19 pm
Chattanooga doesn't have the congestion issues Atlanta has. Obviously it's because that's a much smaller region, 750,000 vs. 5,600,000. But as they grow, they will have learned from our troubles. Driving 3 hours to get to the big airport once in a while compared to sitting in congestion 2 hours a day seems an easy trade-off.
December 19th, 2012
11:14 am
While the Atlanta region does have a good representation of technology based companies I am not sure I would say it is a "Technology Hub". Many of those employed by local tech companies are employed in non-technical roles or at best semi-technical roles like sales and customer service. At one point the Technology Park area was a hub for high-tech manufacturing, but for many reason those companies have left for due to corporate consolidation, cheaper labor or friendlier regulatory climates.
The State of Georgia really needs to do more to encourage entrepreneurial growth associated with the various Universities by setting up more High Tech Incubators and providing seed money. Also, we need to focus on ways to increase the manufacturing presence around the metro area.

Frenchman says fellow centre-back can come of age this term.
Sylvain Distin
Sylvain Distin insists fellow centre-back Shane Duffy is ready to come of age this season.
The Frenchman's form and that of new Everton skipper Phil Jagielka meant the 21-year-old Irishman was restricted to just three first-team appearances last term.
But 18 months on from bailing the Blues out during a crippling defensive injury crisis, Distin feels a player 14 years his junior is better set than ever to make a telling first-team impact.
Injuries to both Distin and Jagielka saw Duffy called upon for four straight games in January 2012 as the Blues picked up precious Premier League points against Aston Villa and Blackburn before knocking Fulham out in the FA Cup.
And asked if 2013/14 could be the youngster's time to shine again, Distin told evertontv: "It's difficult to predict what is going to happen because football is never an exact science.
"What I am sure about is that I've seen enough of Duffy to feel comfortable with him being able to play in the Premier League and I'm pretty sure he already proved it two seasons ago when because of injuries he had to play and he did a great job.
"I remember when I came back into the squad I told him I was happy to be back obviously, but I didn't feel like it was fair because he did great.
"I think he surprised a lot of people and possibly even himself. That will have given him a confidence boost and we will have to wait and see."

The I-405 Sepulveda Pass Improvements Project cost taxpayers $1 billion and will feature a 10-mile car pool lane but the problem is, despite all the money that has already been poured in, the county Metropolitan Transportation Authority could be asking drivers to pay to use the car pool lanes.
The construction project is reportedly $100 million over budget and to cover the cost overrun the Metro board asked staff to look into implementing a congestion pricing program for the 405 HOV lanes.
Such a program would create a toll road system for the car pool lanes that are more expensive during peak hours.
Metro chairman Michael Antonovich proposed the study be done but his office tells Fox 11 that the L.A. county supervisor is actually against congestion pricing.
His office said he only proposed the study because if the HOV lanes aren't tolled the tab would most likely be picked up by the entire county, meaning west side residents and valley drivers would benefit with the rest of the county being disproportionately impacted.
Drivers we spoke with said the late timing of such a measure is unfair.
"I think at this point in the game it's not fair to spring that on us who are commuting to work every day," said Emily Heidt, a Pacific Palisades resident.

WEST LAFAYETTE | Kawann Short wants so badly to play pro football, he's given up pizza and ribs and chocolate sundaes.
He can now see his feet.
The former Purdue defensive tackle, as that old one-liner goes, used to be a "light" eater — he'd start eating when it got light outside.
That was the case when the jovial 300-pounder played football and basketball at East Chicago Central, and during his earlier years at Purdue.
Now, proper conditioning and good stamina could determine Kawann Short's pro career, who drafts him, in what round, and whether or not he signs for the big money or settles for chump change.
To drop from a playing weight of 320 pounds last season to 303 is a huge step toward making his NFL dream come true.
"No fast foods. Just dining in and working out every day. It's helped a lot," said Short, who also sweated off considerable poundage while training in Florida.
Monday, more than 40 NFL scouts came to snowy West Lafayette for his Pro Day. When you're projected as a first- or high second-round pick, no one with a clipboard and stop watch is going to whine over living out of a suitcase while searching for that can't-miss prospect.
'KK' has been in their cross-hairs for some time.
"This is harder than playing in front of thousands of people. You've just got these few people here focusing on you," he said of the scouts watching and charting his every move.
"This will determine your job, so don't shoot yourself in the foot. I was nervous coming in. I couldn't sleep last night. I just wanted to give the best effort."
I didn't see any scouts shaking their head with regret.
"This is a one-time go," said Short, who missed the NFL combine with a sore hamstring. "I'm just glad I got good film to back it up.
"Today was the most important job interview of my life. Getting out there, showing these guys I can move around, that I'm serious and I dropped weight, was the main focus."
His first pro workout is March 27 with the Carolina Panthers. The Bears also are working on a date.
The 6-foot-3, 300-pounder has always been easy to spot around Purdue. Many within the football program regarded him as an ambassador, and he prepared for that role way in advance.
"That's just how I was raised in my household," Short said. "To be that guy who doesn't get into trouble and be able to face adversity when it comes my way."
With the draft fast approaching, Short's bandwagon will be chased by "new" friends and potential hangers-on, but they should be warned that his inner circle remains tight.
"It started happening my senior year. People were calling, asking for tickets," he said. "It's hard to tell people 'no' but nowadays, I can't answer numbers I don't know. It's always somebody different.
"You just got to be upfront with these guys. If you lose friends, they weren't friends from the get-go."
Like this kid? Wait until he's actually drafted and signed. That bandwagon will tip over.

Saving The Ocean
Destination BajaEpisode Guide »
A remarkable success story of how local fishing people developed a whale-watching co-op that now caters to tourists from all over the world. The co-op runs not only the tourist accommodations, but also polices the lagoon, regulates access to the whales, and preserves most of the area as a quiet sanctuary for the whales and their calves. And it's not just whales -- there are now several other highly successful, self-regulated fishing co-ops along Baja's Pacific coast.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to our 2013:
Thanks so much to all of the supporters, friends, sponsors, honorary committee members and hosts who helped make the 2013 Right to Shoes such a success! More than 400 supporters gathered to enjoy gourmet food and drink and to participate in a charity auction with over 100 items, including exclusive ticket packages to Orioles and Ravens games, a Key West vacation, and an African Safari.
With the funds raised by this event and charity auction, PPM continues to serve more than 40,000 Maryland women, men, and families each year.
View pictures from our fabulous event and enjoy a few of our favorites below:
Guests heard personal and moving remarks about the long history of PPM from an impressive array of speakers including: Baltimore City Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, Maryland Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown, US Congressman John Sarbanes, Maryland Attorney General Douglas Gansler, Comptroller Peter Franchot, and Baltimore City Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot.
One highlight of the event was the presentation of the Betty Tyler Award to Fran Phillips. In honor of a long-serving Board Member and volunteer, each year PPM bestows our Betty Tyler Memorial Award to a Maryland leader who exemplifies the highest care and protection of women's rights in our state.
A new feature that proved popular was the "You Are Not in Her Shoes" cam, modeled after famous red carpet cameras where guests were asked to show-off their fancy footwear on our mini red carpet. Even Baltimore City Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake jumped in on the fun! Nearly 100 guests had their picture taken to show that you can't make a health care decision for anyone else - "You are not in her shoes." You can see a collection of these photos here.

Is Your Diet Making You Mad?

- Eat, Exercise, and Lose Weight Without Mood Swings
How Your Diet Affects Your Mood
I recently had one of those rock-bottom, bummed-with-my-body moments. Oh sure, I'd had a few of them through the years, but this time was different. I was 30 pounds overweight and in the worst shape of my life. So I committed to a complete diet-and-lifestyle overhaul, beginning with a one-week fat-blasting jump start involving calorie-torching cardio, plenty of protein, and a scarcity of starch. It wasn't the worst week of my life, but it sure felt like it -- to me and my family. If I saw my husband enjoying a slice of pizza, or my 5-year-old son innocently offered me a gummy bear, I snapped at them. I swore at them (OK, just at my husband). I cried into my crudités.
I'm not the only one who gets "hangry" (so hungry that you're angry). According to a recent study published in the Journal of Consumer Research, people who ate an apple instead of chocolate for dietary reasons were more likely to choose violent movies over milder ones and were more irritated by a marketer's message urging them to exercise. I can relate: I rolled my eyes -- and may have uttered an audible "Take this jog and shove it!" -- at the trainer on my workout DVD as he encouraged me to run in place.
But wait. Shouldn't eating healthfully and exercising make you happy? "It should," says Elizabeth Somer, RD, author of Eat Your Way to Happiness. "But not when you go to extremes or cut out the wrong foods." Oops. So what's the secret to smiling while you slim down? I dove into the research and grilled experts to find out. Learn from my mistakes and get ready to lose weight without the "hanger."Mood buster: Running on empty
Eat less, exercise more. That's the secret to shedding pounds, right? I thought so, which is why I ate just 1,300 to 1,500 calories a day and burned about 500 most days. My belly rumbled so loudly, I found myself at the computer googling things like killing for calories. No wonder I was irritable: "Changes in brain chemistry that can affect your mood occur when you restrict calories," says Gary L. Wenk, PhD, professor in the departments of psychology and neuroscience at Ohio State University in Columbus, and author of Your Brain on Food. A recent study in Biological Psychiatry noted that when you're hungry, levels of the brain chemical serotonin -- a neurotransmitter that regulates mood as well as appetite and sleep -- fluctuate and make it difficult to control your anger.
Turns out, being famished goes hand in hand with being frazzled. When researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, put women on a 1,200-calorie-a-day diet, they found that test subjects produced more of the stress hormone cortisol and reported higher levels of perceived stress.
Luckily, there are ways to curb low-cal crankiness. "Cut back slowly, so the body can adjust," says Wenk, who suggests trimming as little as 50 calories a day to start and then gradually more. "This takes time and patience but will help you avoid irritability and mood shifts." Most women need to consume at least 1,500 calories a day -- more when exercising -- to keep blood sugar stable and energy and mood elevated. "If you're losing more than one to two pounds a week, you're dropping too low," Somer says. I guess my three-pound loss the first week wasn't cause for celebration.Mood buster: Fudging the fats
I knew I was supposed to eat fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines, which contain healthy fats that help spur weight loss. Had I actually eaten them, they would also have boosted my mood. Sadly, I'm not a fan of seafood, especially the recommended types, so I opted for a few handfuls of raw almonds instead. I thought it was a good swap, but not so much.
According to research, a deficiency in omega-3 fatty acids -- alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), found in plant sources like flaxseeds, soybeans, and walnuts, but not almonds; docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), both found in fish and algae -- is associated with depression, anger, and hostility. Getting adequate amounts of omega-3s can actually improve brainpower and mood. "About 60 percent of the brain is made of fat, and omega-3 fats are particularly important for proper neuron function," says Drew Ramsey, MD, assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University and coauthor of The Happiness Diet. "These fats decrease inflammation and increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF, a type of molecule that promotes the birth of new brain cells and better connections between brain cells."
Not only do almonds lack the optimum fats for feeding my head, but even nuts and seeds that are rich in omega-3s are inferior to fish. "Animal sources are better than plant sources," explains Dr. Ramsey, who recommends at least two 6-ounce servings of fatty fish per week. Because I have an aversion to the aforementioned fish options, he suggests rotating in other good sources of omega-3s, like shrimp, cod, and mussels, or, alternatively, grass-fed meats or pasture-raised eggs. Personally, I would rather just pop a supplement, and studies suggest that getting about 1,000 milligrams of combined DHA and EPA daily can help improve mood. Dr. Ramsey notes that it typically takes a few weeks to see any sort of effect; other research indicates it can take up to three months.Mood buster: Going against the grains
As soon as I cut out most sugars and starches, my body started screaming, "Dude! Where's my carb?" and I was angrier than Demi Moore after an Ashton Kutcher sex scandal. This response is apparently not uncommon. According to a recent study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, people who followed low-carb diets had higher scores on "anger-hostility, confusion-bewilderment, and depression-dejection" scales than those who followed low-fat diets. One possible reason, the researchers noted, was that limiting carbs impedes the brain's ability to synthesize mood-boosting serotonin.
Sugar also stimulates areas in the brain that are linked with pleasure and addiction, Dr. Ramsey says. "All carbohydrates are made of sugar," he explains, "and preliminary research demonstrates that a withdrawal from sugar has similar symptoms to those of an addict withdrawing from heroin." In my case, carbs accounted for just 30 percent of my daily calories. Considering that the Institute of Medicine recommends 45 to 65 percent, it's no wonder I was jonesing for my fix.

The human body burns more calories during the first four hours of night sleep, than during any other activity, including sports activities. The consumption of two teaspoons of honey before bedtime combined with regular physical exercises at least three times a week, stimulates this process. visit www.ehoneybees.com for more secrets!!!3/8/2012 06:41:27 AM Report Abuse

Western Wall
The builders of the Western Wall could never have fathomed that one day their modest creation would become the most important religious shrine for the Jewish people. Indeed, when it was built some 2000 years ago it was merely a retaining wall supporting the outer portion of the Temple Mount, upon which stood the Second Temple. (The Second Temple was constructed around 520 BC.

In Buchanan County, Mo., crop news infuses daily life.
The news flows from farmer to farmer at the store, the ball game, and lunch after church. Corn price, bean price, bushel per acre.
"You know how to figure what you'll get," said Ronnie Dean, one of those farmers. Last year Dean figured he needed a change.
For 20 years before this spring, Dean had enrolled his land in the federal Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) and earned about $83 an acre a year to grow grass. But this fall his fields sprouted soybeans and corn, and Dean earned about $800 an acre, he said.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, which funds CRP, trumpets the program's success in reducing soil loss, reviving wetlands and boosting rural incomes. But high commodity prices are prompting farmers like Dean to plow CRP-planted grass fields and cultivate increasingly lucrative food crops.
The change in land use has been dramatic.
Since last year, CRP acreage dropped 23 percent in Missouri and 15 percent across the United States, according to records from the Farm Service Agency. Fewer acres in the program could puncture its conservation gains, harming land and water ecosystems, experts say
Dean, who is nearly 70, has farmed this land since high school. Back then, heavy rain would slice deep ditches in the fields.
"That water, it just keeps cutting until you have no dirt left," he said.
As a last resort, two decades ago he signed up most of his 450 acres in CRP and sowed them with warm- and cool-weather grasses. Over time, the 6- to 8-feet-tall switchgrass grew too thick to walk through. It held the soil and stopped the ditches from forming.
The conservation program targets land like this to keep rain from washing soil and fertilizer into surrounding water, such as the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. Another aim is to boost wildlife habitat, compensating for habitat overtaken by sprawling farms.
In adjacent Andrew County, the Adkins family had quail in mind as they lined the edges of their cornfields with grass and trees through CRP. Quail hunting runs in the family.
But farmer Curtis Adkins is not sure this land will stay for the birds. In August, as he stood next to his combine while taking a break from harvesting corn, prices stood above $8 a bushel.
"If corn goes to $10, beans go to $20, I may be farming it all again," Adkins said.

Since 2008 corn prices have spiked skyward due to a host of forces, such as overseas demand, ethanol production and harsh weather, according to the USDA. This summer they reached unparalleled highs.
"It's really tough to convince people to forgo that income to put their land back in CRP," said Dwaine Gelnar, state resource conservationist with USDA's Natural Resource Conservation Service.
On a recent morning, five Bobwhite quail squeaked to each other in a cluster of fall-colored trees at Happy Holler Lake Conservation Area near Savannah.
In autumn they call out to find each other, huddle up and keep warm.
This conservation area fosters birds by providing the right mix of grassy fields and trees for them to hide from predators, find food and lay eggs. Despite areas like Happy Holler Lake and the CRP program, quail populations have declined across Missouri for 25 years, according to conservation department studies.
Less land in CRP means even less land managed specifically to protect birds like quail, pheasants and songbirds. And as farmers cultivate crops, rain carries fertilizer and soil downhill into rivers and streams, harming aquatic life as far downstream as the Gulf of Mexico.
"It's going to have some detrimental impacts," Gelnar said.
But how much impact is hard to measure, he said.
One reason is farmers are more "in tune with conservation" than 20 years ago, he said. Farmers have learned they can prevent erosion by cutting steep fields into terraces, or leaving plant debris on the ground to shield soil from rain that would wash it away.
On Dean's farm in Northwest Missouri, the land is so steep and curvy it looks like an ancient Greek amphitheater. He tries to prevent run-off in part by leaving shattered corn stalks and husks on the field after harvest, he said.
Dean doesn't expect to re-enroll his land in CRP, even if commodity prices drop. He believes prices eventually will jump back up each time they drop.
"I'll just farm it through those times," Dean said.
