Chief Privacy Officer Profession Grows with Big Data Field
When Harriet Pearson was appointed by IBM in November 2000 to be its first chief privacy officer, it was a headline-making event. While a few smaller companies had created an official CPO role a year or two earlier, Pearson's appointment was one of the first instances of a major corporation making online privacy a priority. Pearson, now a partner at the Washington, D.C., law firm Hogan Lovells, recalls that in her early days at IBM, the biggest concern about online privacy for corporations was compliance with HIPAA health care and other privacy regulations. The approach was, "Do you wait for regulators or self-regulate?" as she puts it. By the mid-2000s, the focus shifted to social media and productivity. These days, she says, "It's all about the data." Pearson is referring to companies' concerns about what she calls "informational privacy," which includes the depersonalization of data for use in website traffic analysis, social media and other applications. Meanwhile, the privacy profession has grown exponentially.

"it's them" the home depot employees whisper as the hipster bloggers grab paint swatches to write inspirational quotes on
basically if you don't talk to me first i'll never talk to you
T- 5 things I love unconditionally.
Reading, watching films, going to museums, baking, and staying in bed.
V - 3 big dreams.
Y - If I like my town and why.
Sometimes. Scenic place with mostly nondescript people. Nothing happens here.
X - If I've done something I regret very much.
God, this is difficult… I hate being an unforgiving person but whenever I think of things I regret, the only thing I can think about is this girl I met last September. The funny thing is that I never approached her first—she did. I can't blame anyone but myself for being so patient and deluded throughout my friendship with her. I mean, the whole house couldn't freaking deal with her. At least, willingly. It was always easy to be tolerant, and look the other way because of her personal problems that she imposed on me (and always reminded me) but I suppose I should at least vent here, where I can always look back since I don't keep a journal/diary.
What I regret: Allowing myself to suffer through a supposed best "friend's" physical and emotional abuse—for letting her constantly undermine and question what I said and did, for disrespecting my opinions and more importantly, my identity. For disregarding my friendships with others, manipulating me, and making me feel incredibly terrible if I was never completely on her "side." And most of all, I regret that I didn't stand up for myself throughout this whole thing and for having been such a good, supporting friend to her. She didn't deserve me, at all. And to whoever is reading this, please know that there is a way to get your opinion across without being such a hurtful, condescending, narrow-minded bitch.
H - The last person I hugged.
My youngest brother.
I - The last time I felt jealous, and why.
Jealous that my first (and currently ex-)wifey, Olive, met Obama.
J - How old I am.
A - If I'm in love.
B - Who the last person I talked to on the phone was.
C - How long it's been since I've kissed someone
D - If I have a preference for boys or girls.
E - How many holes I have in my ears.
F - Give me any options, like 'hot or cold?'
G - The last person I said 'I love you' to.
H - The last person I hugged.
I - The last time I felt jealous, and why.
J - How old I am.
K- What my full name is.
L - If I have siblings.
M - If I forgive betrayal.
N - If you want to know how I treat my friends.
O - If I like my school.
P - What kind of music I like.
Q - What the last party I went to was, and when the next will be.
R - For me to tell 10 of my curiosities.
S - 2 habits.
T- 5 things I love unconditionally.
U - How many texts I send daily.
V - 3 big dreams.
W - An idol.
X - If I've done something I regret very much.
Y - If I like my town and why.
Z - Ask any question you want.

the Genie in the Toilet
And there was much rejoicing.
'Hail, Dudes!' quoth the guy at the counter. 'We knoweth who thou art, and we knoweth what thou wanteth.'
And he didst predict what each of the Dudes' favorite sandwiches were, and they didst eat there.
And so Casey didst go unto the bathroom and taketh a shit.
But little didst he knoweth that this toilet had been smuggled in from Canada, where toilets still flusheth with authority.
And a Genie didst appear before Casey as he flushed, and said unto him, 'I am the Genie in the Toilet, and I shall grant thee three wishes!'
'Okay…' quoth Casey, 'I wish… um, gee, it wouldst be great if I had more time to think up a wish.'
'Granted!' spake the Genie. 'For thy first wish, I have stopped time.'
'Huh?' spake Casey. 'What the hell? I didst not ask for that!'
'Thou didst ask for it,' spake the Genie.
'Take it back!' cried Casey.
'Granted!' spake the Genie. 'For thy second wish, I didst take back thy first wish!'
'That's not what I meant,' quoth Casey.
'Don't fuck with me!' spake the Genie. 'I am the all-powerful Genie in the Toilet! I've taken a lot of shit over the years, and I am not going to take it from a moron like thee! Now make thy final wish so I canst go back to sleep!'
'Fine!' quoth Casey. 'I wish I never ate at Psychic Burger!'
And so the Genie in the Toilet (flush) didst turn back time.

"First of all I believe that when a particular patient comes into my office, it is no coincidence! So often patients will find that as the healing occurs, they find themselves healed of so much more than just an ache or a pain. So often we carry wounds that run deep and prevent real healing from occurring. We have lost the sense of reverence we should have for one another. I believe this has happened because we as a culture have forgotten who we are, and what we are fully called to be.

Chiropractic in New York (NY) - is it right for me?
New York (NY) Chiropractors specialize in the interactions between our nerves, muscles and skeleton and their effects on our general health. They diagnose problems and use manual therapy, including joint adjustment and manipulation, to prevent and treat them.
Many people who seek New York (NY) chiropractic care do so for help with back pain, especially lower back pain, neck pain and headache. Spinal adjustment in New York (NY) or chiropractic adjustment is the most common method of treatment--it refers to the manual adjustment by the chiropractor of the three-joint complex at the base of your spine with sufficient force to create a sensation of 'release', increasing the joint's range and reducing pain.
A treatment plan may involve one or more manual adjustments. Many chiropractors in New York (NY) also incorporate nutritional counseling, exercise or rehabilitation into the treatment plan.
How is a Chiropractor licensed?
The Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) in New York (NY) must complete four academic years at a school accredited by the Council on Chiropractic Education, as well as a one-year internship at an outpatient clinic owned and run by a chiropractic college. They are tested and certified by the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners, and licensed by the state in which they practice. To maintain licensure in most states, practitioners must complete a certain number of continuing education hours annually.
There are several schools of chiropractic adjustment techniques, although most chiropractors mix techniques from several schools. Some Applied Kinesiologists in New York (NY) are qualified as Chiropractors.

People of Faith Fight to Preserve Marriage
- Monday, April 26, 2004
Shannon Royce wants marriage to be more than a union between a man and a woman. She also wants it to be a wedding between the U.S. government and God's will for the world.
Royce, executive director of the Marriage Amendment Project, is pushing for a constitutional amendment that would leave no wiggle room for same-sex marriage.
"People need to pick up a phone and call their Representatives and Senators and let them know they support the federal marriage amendment that is there now,'' said Royce, who is leading the charge to create a national mandate that marriage unites members of the opposite sex only.
Working against that rally is a Massachusetts directive scheduled to take effect on May 17 that will issue legal marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
"I don't think any of us can foresee the devastating effects of that. It's so beyond our imagination,'' said Royce, who senses that the public won't begin to blister about same-sex marriage until the Massachusetts law takes effect.
"You'll see even more of a spontaneous response when people see the front pages of their newspapers and see that Massachusetts is giving out legal licenses,'' she said, explaining that so far most of the hand-wringing has been over unlawful gay "marriages'' in San Francisco and New York.
Royce doesn't want to wait until May 17 to put out the flame of homosexual marriage, which is why she is pressing for the amendment that President Bush has said he supports.
The amendment resolution currently has 117 co-sponsors in the House (H.J. Res 56) and 13 in the Senate (S.J. Res 30), said Royce, who thinks government plays a role in marriage. Just not "the'' role.
"Marriage is an institution that predates government,'' she said. "Government was created for the benefit of the family, but marriage was before written history, so government does not create marriage, but simply affirms it.''
The current U.S. laws regarding marriage are good; Royce just doesn't want to see them erased in one fell Massachusetts swoop.
She explained that once Massachusetts acts, a same-sex couple from another state could go there, get married, then return to their home state demanding to have their marriage recognized in every way.
"And when they're denied, they sue and claim it's a violation of their equal protection rights,'' she said, adding that failure to pass a constitutional amendment would have the effect of playing dominoes.

SHERMAN, TX -- The final weekend of the presidential campaign is here, but when it comes to convincing one group of voters, both candidates are out of luck.
Students at Fairview Elementary School have already held their election for who they believe should win the race, and they picked President Barack Obama over Mitt Romney.
"The people, they were really excited to vote, because they were like, 'I didn't know I could do this, I thought I had to be 16!'" says Romney supporter Marie Matey.
Several fourth graders who make up the student council worked the polls and counted the ballots. "We kind of called them down whenever we were ready for them in grade level order, but some people were a little late and it blocked it up," says Romney supporter Hogan Harris.
Supervised by the fourth graders who make up the student council, students from kindergarten through fourth grade went up to the voting booth to make their choice known.
"They would fill out their form and then they would receive their voter registration card and they came to the judges we had set up and they would check in," says teacher Ashley Gaulden.
Student council members separated the votes, with one table for Obama and one for Romney.
"I voted for Mitt Romney because he doesn't believe in bad things and he's just a really nice person," says Matey.
"He's Republican and in class we learned about the stuff that he did and I liked the stuff that he did," says Romney supporter Cade Roller.
While Romney drew plenty of followers, there were also plenty of kids who thought Obama should have a second term.
"I voted for Barack Obama because he's a great man and very intelligent and I know he could help out the United States," says Obama supporter Emily Bard.
"I think that everything is going really well for him," says Obama supporter Ryan Dobbs. "I think that he's a good businessman and he runs things well."
In the end, Obama won the vote of the student body with 220 votes to 144 for Romney.
"It doesn't matter who wins, so if the president you don't want wins, that doesn't mean you move to another country," says Bard.
If all that wasn't enough excitement for one day, some of the students also got to take a limo ride to Cici's Pizza as a reward for getting lots of people to buy in a fundraising contest.

Hey all! I know this is a smallish pic of the brochure, but I wanted to post some info on a recent storage solution I found. I have the large double craft pantry, and love it! It works really well, and since it comes in unfinished wood, hubster stained it to match the rest of my office furniture. I've never found such affordable stamping storage, so wanted to share it with all of you!
The company is made up of a husband and wife team, and they are just the nicest folks. Feel free to pass this along to all to all those space challenged stampers you know!

Finishing Our Project
Today we are completing the final edit of our project. I have spent most of my morning working in the Peace Center on the computer with the girls Dadon and Phunima. I have been helping them edit the narrative and we started the photo editing process. They picked up the editing program really quickly and we flew through it. Meanwhile, Chris was working with the boys to finalize the last few photos and create image credits.
After lunch, Lhapka and Chundak took turns editing the second half of the images while the girls got artistic and created title slides.
We were interrupted by a group of Norwegians who donated funds to build the Peace Center we were working in. The students suddenly became very shy around these new strangers and I realized then how far we have all come since the day we met (was that only 6 days ago?!). We are all now more than volunteers and students – we are friends.
By the end of the day, we only needed to create some transitions and layer in some ambient sounds. We are very tired from all of our hard work but also in a very good place to be ready for tomorrow night's film festival!

Closing party lives up to billing
Aug 13 2012
The closing ceremony of the London 2012 Games lived up to its billing as "the world's greatest after-party" after wowing a global audience of millions with a spectacular celebration of British music and culture.
Organisers were given the unenviable task of following in the footsteps of Danny Boyle's critically acclaimed curtain raiser that got the Games off to a flying star more than two weeks ago.
But scintillating performances from a galaxy of British pop stars - including the Spice Girls, Take That and The Who - and another display of thrilling British eccentricity made the last hurrah of the London Olympics a resounding hit.
The closing ceremony won a bigger average audience than the spectacular opening event, figures showed. It drew an average 22.9 million viewers to BBC1 - half a million more than saw Danny Boyle's mesmerising launch a fortnight earlier. A peak audience of 26.3 million was watching the event - created by artistic director Kim Gavin - at its height on BBC1, on a dedicated Olympic channel and on HD at 9.35pm.
The event set a new audience record for Olympic closing ceremonies, easily outstripping the previous high of 11 million for Barcelona in 1992. The peak was actually slightly down on the audience for the opening ceremony which reached a combined 26.9 million across several BBC channels.
Some of the biggest names in UK music from both past and present partied with volunteers, athletes and the world during the breathtaking close to the Games. Stars including Annie Lennox, Madness, the Pet Shop Boys, Kaiser Chiefs, George Michael, Tinie Tempah, Emeli Sande and Jessie J, along with faces such as Kate Moss, Russell Brand, Julian Lloyd Webber, Naomi Campbell and Darcey Bussell took to the stage to celebrate one of the nation's strongest cultural exports over the last 50 years.

Conservatives: GOP Needs New Direction on Immigration
November 08, 2012
Recording of today's media availability: http://tinyurl.com/GOPnewdirection
Washington, D.C — Today key leaders from the law enforcement, business and evangelical communities highlighted the new political landscape on immigration in the wake of the presidential election. As the GOP commences a period of soul-searching, top Republicans are reading the demographic writing on the wall and calling on their party to embrace a pragmatic approach on immigration or risk continuing to alienate the fastest-growing segment of the electorate: Latino voters.
A new, powerful bipartisan alliance from across the country is gearing up to exert the grassroots pressure necessary to get immigration reform past the finish line in 2013. The curtain raiser for this bipartisan push for reform will be a national convening in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 4 and 5. Faith, law enforcement and business leaders from across the political spectrum will come together to call on the president and the new Congress to make immigration reform a must-pass priority.
The statements below can be attributed to the following speakers:
The Honorable Mark Shurtleff (R), Attorney General, Utah:
"There is an opening door right now for Congress to take up bipartisan immigration reform. I call upon the John McCains and Orrin Hatches in the Senate, who were strong advocates of workable immigration policies, to lead the way on immigration reform and reject the extreme right-wing rhetoric that has hurt our party with Hispanic voters.
"The House of Representatives needs to commit on pragmatic, just and uniquely American comprehensive immigration reform. I am confident that our nation can move forward on immigration."
Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, President, National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference:
"The Republicans can begin to redeem the narrative with the Latino community by passing comprehensive immigration reform. GOP leaders in the House of Representatives have a historic opportunity to realign themselves with the values of Lincoln and Reagan. We encourage business, faith and law enforcement officials who respect the rule of law but also appreciate the opportunities embedded in the full engagement of this community to pressure Republican congressional leaders to pass immigration reform.
"The question arises: Is the Hispanic alienation by the GOP temporary or permanent? Going from 44 percent Hispanic support of the GOP ticket in 2004 to today's reality, can the Republicans afford not to pass immigration reform? It's the family values things to do. It's the moral thing to do. It's the evangelical and Christian thing to do. It's the right political thing to do."
Allie Devine, attorney and lobbyist for the Kansas Business Coalition:
"The Kansas business coalition continues to push for immigration reform and work authorization. Our economy needs for the federal government to address the immigration issue and to provide a stable workforce for America's businesses."
Ali Noorani, Executive Director, National Immigration Forum:
"To pass immigration reform in 2013 requires conservatives across the nation to encourage their members of Congress to be a part of a solution. As the base of the Republican Party, faith, law enforcement and business leaders will play an important role in this work. And, because of their work over the past two years to forge a new consensus on immigrants and America, these constituencies are ready."

Penny Auction Sites - How Legitimate Are They?
quibids.com reviews - If you have been hearing a lot about online sites where items such as appliances and electronic devices that we desire owning so much are availed at cheap prices; then we might think these sites are a scam. We often consider the process as one especially that it asks for buying credits at once and this is the first thing that comes to our minds when money is involved upfront. But considering the amount of money involved in the bid; which is only from a penny to a dollar; surely you cannot help but wonder that it is a golden opportunity of joining the bid and getting an item that you want to own.
quibids.com reviews - Just like any transaction done online through the net, there are advantages and disadvantages involved. But even if this is so, learning the basics of how to be involved in the trade and putting in your time and patience in the process will afford an income that you cannot imagine you can acquire and will provide the things that you dream of owning and simply cannot afford to buy.
quibids.com reviews - When you review the comments written by most people on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter, you will find out for yourself how legitimate these auction sites are. Much has been said about the products and goods people have acquired cheaply from these sites by winning the bids. There have been many positive reviews said about these sites and a lot of people have been boasting about their latest conquests of possessing valuable items by putting on their bids for them.
If you are in doubt as to the reliability of the auction site, try to find one that has been around for a while as these are most probably the companies that are reputable and of good record. If they have been flaunting good reviews and have written legitimate information on how to contact them, then the company is fairly safe to make transactions with.

Found November 02, 2012 on Project Spurs:
PLAYERS: Tony Parker, James Harden, Gregg Popovich, Tim Duncan, Kawhi Leonard, Danny Green, Kevin Durant, Eric Maynor, Serge Ibaka, Stephen Jackson, Russell Westbrook, Kendrick Perkins
TEAMS: San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Utah Jazz
TEAMS: San Antonio Spurs, Houston Rockets, Oklahoma City Thunder, Utah Jazz
In consecutive nights, San Antonio Spurs guard Tony Parker was given the ball on the perimeter, definitely not Parker's strong suit, and both times Parker delivered with a late-game three-pointer to give the Spurs a chance at a win. Tonight it was even sweeter as Parker hit the three and followed with a buzzer-beater on a midrange jumper that swished through the net as time expired and the Spurs got some revenge against an Oklahoma City Thunder team that won the final four games of the Western Conference Finals on their way to the NBA Finals. Since the Spurs got back together for training camp, what we've heard most of was about this team still feeling the pain of losing to this Thunder team, even if it is a bit of a different squad after losing James Harden in a trade to the Rockets recently. "We're still feeling the pain of that loss to Oklahoma City. When you're in the conference finals and you're up 2-0 and you don't get it done that hurts. Obviously you give them credit, they're a heck of a team, but it doesn't take the hurt away," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said on the first day of training camp. "I think we still all feel it very very much. That's a good thing. We gotta use that as fuel. That was a very, very, very tough loss. It's our job to just see what else we can do to combat that youth and that talent, and we've got some ideas and we'll see what happens." Apparently for Popovich and the Spurs, Parker, a big game by Tim Duncan and a ball-hawking Kawhi Leonard were just what the doctor ordered. As Parker's 13th and 14th points soared through the net in an 86-84 nail biter of a win, the Spurs could finally exhale, with this win as a bit of a pain reliever after having that nasty taste in their mouths the entire summer. The Thunder started out the first quarter with the same intensity the Spurs saw back in the Western Conference Finals, scoring the first eight points of the game before two Duncan free throws started the Spurs on an 11-0 run. The rest of the quarter went both ways until the Thunder secured a three-point lead to end the first. Midway through the second quarter, with the Spurs down two, Duncan again jump-started the Spurs, scoring four straight points. The Spurs ended the half on an 11-4 run and dominated on defense, holding the Thunder to 34 percent shooting in the half. "I think it was excellent. The activity, the communication, the transition D. But more than anything, we took care of the ball," Popovich said. The Spurs got hot on offense again in the third quarter, besting every Thunder effort. Danny Green chipped in seven points to lead the Spurs on a 16-5 run and a 10-point advantage before Kevin Durant ended it with a three-pointer with 3:36 remaining in the third. The Thunder crept back in and when it looked like the Spurs would close out the third quarter with a three-point lead, backup guard Eric Maynor launched a contested halfcourt three that found its way to the basket as the quarter expired. It wouldn't have been a Spurs-Thunder game without an exciting fourth quarter. When the Spurs abandoned the offensive sets they were running in favor of going four down to Tim Duncan, who had been hot all game, the Spurs offense slowed down and the Thunder took advantage at the other end of the court before Parker knocked in the three to tie and Kawhi Leonard picked off a pass to ruin Oklahoma City's plans for a late game upset. For Leonard it would be his fifth steal of the game in an otherwise off night. That's 10 steals in two games for Leonard who is getting his name out there as an early season defensive player of the year candidate. While it's a long season, you can't blame Spurs fans for getting excited. Even Popovich sang his praises after the game. "Kawhi understands his role and works very hard at trying to be as good as he can possibly be at it and at a young age. He's pretty impressive," Popovich said. " He uses his length and anticipation well to clog lanes and get hands on balls. He just has a knack for it. He's been very important to us both nights." Duncan led the Spurs on his second consecutive 20 point night and added eight rebounds, three blocked shots and a nasty slam over Serge Ibaka. Duncan was one of five scorers in double figures. Parker finished with 14 points and 11 assists, Danny Green had 13 points and five rebounds and Stephen Jackson came off the bench for 11 points and six rebounds. Durant led the Thunder with 23 points and 14 rebounds and Russell Westbrook had 18 points, but went just 6-of-21 from the field and missed all three of his three-point attempts. Aside from limiting the Thunder defensively (37 percent from the field), the Spurs dominated inside. Just months ago, Kendrick Perkins and Ibaka couldn't seem to miss, but the pair only had six points between them as the Spurs outscored the Thunder in the paint 44-24. Up next, the Spurs will play host to the Utah Jazz on Saturday for a 7:30 p.m. tip.

Ballgirls may be wondering if their jobs are safe as Myers' role continues to evolve
April 23 2007
If you've been wondering what Brett Myers' role is going to be while pitching out of the pen, wonder no more. Apparently he's the guy that pitches when the Phils are up seven runs in the bottom of the ninth.
Charlie Manuel has been comfortable trashing the pen. But it's hard to see who is to blame besides Manuel himself if he's going to let Myers pitch in situations like he did yesterday. Madson and Rosario haven't pitched since Wednesday. If they aren't going to pitch in games that are close or games that aren't close it doesn't leave them with much to do. I find it hard to believe that the organization doesn't have seven relief pitchers they feel comfortable using when the Phils are up seven runs.
Hopefully the Phils get their pen straightened out and can put Myers back in the rotation soon. Until they do, I'm hoping they save him to pitch in critical spots as he is clearly the best arm they have out there.
The Phils beat the Reds yesterday, winning 9-3 to improve to 6-11 on the year. They have won two in a row for the first time this season. They also won their first series of the year, winning two of three against Cincinnati.
Freddy Garcia made his second start for the Phillies and was solid in his second start, although he did not go deep into the game. He went five innings, allowing two runs on four hits. Two of the hits went for extra-bases, a double and a triple. He struck out three and did not walk a batter. Opponents stole two more bases with him on the hill.
Garcia hit Brandon Phillips with a pitch with two down in the first. Josh Hamilton lined to right to end the inning with the Phils up 2-0.
He set the Reds down 1-2-3 in the second.
In the third the first two Reds went down before Ryan Freel hit a ball into left center that Rowand misplayed into a triple. No dive but he took an odd angle and the ball got behind him. Scott Hatteberg was next and dribbled a ball to third. Helms charged, barehanded and threw to first. Hatteberg was called out. Nice play by Helms either way, but Hatteberg looked safe to me. Saved the Phils a run.
Phillips led off the fourth with a single and stole second. Hamilton was next and hit a ball to first that Howard got a glove on but did not field. Should have been an error but Hamilton was given a single and Phillips moved to third. Garcia struck out Adam Dunn for the first out of the inning. Javier Valentin was next and he fit a ball in foul territory that Dobbs caught near the wall. Phillips tagged from third and scored to cut the Phils lead to 4-1 with two down and Hamilton on first. With Edwin Encarnacion at the plate, Hamilton stole second. Encarnacion flew to center to end the inning. Everyone's running on Garcia again this season. Coming into the game, Ruiz had thrown out just 3 of 14 runners attempting to steal a base this season.
Garcia set the Reds down 1-2-3 in the fifth. He got the third out on a diving catch by Rowand on a ball hit by Freel that was in nearly the same place as the ball Freel hit for a triple in the third.
Scott Hatteberg led off the sixth with a double and Phillips followed and was hit by another pitch. That was it for Garcia, and with back-to-back lefties due up Manuel called on Matt Smith. Smith struck out Hamilton but walked Dunn on a close 3-2 pitch to load the bases after getting ahead of him 1-2. Smith stayed in to face the switch-hitter Javier Valentin and Valentin was retired on a line drive to Howard at first. With the righty Encarnacion up, Manuel brought in Geary to pitch and Encarnacion singled to right. Hatteberg scored to cut the Phils' lead to 4-2, but Victorino's throw was strong and Ruiz blocked the plate nicely to get Phillips and end the inning.
Geary returned to pitch a 1-2-3 seventh.
Alfonseca pitched a 1-2-3 eighth to drop his ERA to 0.84.
Myers came in to pitch the ninth with a 9-2 lead. Crazy. Myers got the first man before walking Valentin and giving up an RBI-double to pinch-hitter Ken Griffey that made the score 9-3. He got the next two men on ground outs to end the inning. Myers threw 21 completely unnecessary pitches -- hopefully he's available tonight against Houston.
The Phillies lineup against righty Matt Belisle went (1) Rollins (2) Victorino (3) Utley (4) Howard (5) Helms (6) Dobbs (7) Rowand (8) Ruiz. Howard returns to the lineup and no signs of the lineup shakeup from Saturday night's game. Rowand drops back to seventh after hitting second against the lefty on Saturday. Rollins back in the leadoff after hitting third. Burrell on the bench and Dobbs in left. Ruiz catches Garcia again.
Victorino singled in the first with one out and went to third or a hard double to right by Utley. Howard hit a long fly ball to center for the first out, scoring Victorino to put the Phillies up 1-0 and moving Utley to third. Helms was next and snuck a dribbler into right field to put the Phils up 2-0. Dobbs hit the ball hard but it was snared at second to end the inning.
The Phils went 1-2-3 in the second.
Rollins led off the third with a single. On a hit and run, Victorino smoked the ball into right field and Rollins went to third. Utley was next and doubled down the line to left, scoring Rollins and sending Victorino to third. 3-0 Phils. The Reds walked Ryan Howard intentionally. With the bases loaded, Helms struck out on three pitches for the first out of the inning. Dobbs was next and he had a long at-bat that ended with a line drive into left. Dunn made a running catch and Victorino tagged and scored from third to put the Phils up 4-0 as the other runners held first and second. Rowand reached on an infield single to third, loading the bases again with two down. Ruiz struck out to end the inning.
The Phils went 1-2-3 in the fourth.
After Utley and Howard struck out to start the fifth, Helms hit a liner into center that a diving Freel couldn't come up with. Helms was safe at first with his second hit of the day, but Dobbs lined to right to set the Phils down.
Rowand singled to lead off the sixth and Ruiz followed and struck out. Garcia bunted Rowand to second, but Rollins struck out to end the frame.
Utley walked with one out in the seventh, but Howard followed and flew out to center for the second out of the inning. Utley stole second and took third on a throwing error from Valentin. Helms reached on another error, this on from Encarnacion, that allowed Utley to score and extend the Phillies' lead to 5-2. Burrell pinch-hit for Dobbs and lined to short to end the inning.
In the eighth, Rowand led off and reached on yet another error, this one by Juan Castro. Ruiz bunted him to second and Werth pinch-hit for Geary. Werth grounded out to second, sending Rowand to third. Rollins was hit by a pitch to put runners on first and third for Victorino, but Victorino struck out to end the frame.
Utley was hit by a pitch to start the ninth and Howard followed with his second home run of the year, putting the Phils up 7-2. Helms doubled to right before Bourn popped out for the first out of the inning. Rowand walked, putting runners on first and second, and Ruiz brought them both home with a double to right-center. 9-2 Phils. Nunez was next and smashed the ball back to the pitcher, who snared it in the air and threw to second to double-off Ruiz and set the Phils down.
Rollins was 1-for-4 with a single. 2-for-12 with two singles in the series.
Victorino was 2-for-5 to raise his average to .297. 4-for-14 with four singles. Doing a great job of getting on-base (.395) but slugging .375.
Utley was two-for-three with two doubles, a walk and an RBI. 4-for-10 with three doubles, a homer and four RBI in the series.
Howard was 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and three RBI in his return.
Helms was 3-for-5 with a double and an RBI. 5-for-12 with a double in the series. He's been outslugged by Victorino so far. Helms is at 286/333/339 with three extra-base hits, all doubles, in his first 56 at-bats.
Dobbs was 0-for-2 with an RBI. 1-for-4 in the series and 190/217/286 after 21 at-bats. Burrell was 1-for-8 in the series and doesn't have an extra-base hit in his last 38 at-bats.
Rowand was 2-for-4 with a walk to raise his average to .355. 5-for-12 with a home run in the series.
Ruiz was 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI. Ruiz was 2-for-8 in the series. Barajas 1-for-3.
Adam Eaton (1-1, 6.62) faces righty Chris Sampson (2-0, 1.20) tonight in Philly in a makeup of the April 15 rainout. Eaton has made three starts, the last two of which have been okay after the Braves scored eight runs in 4 2/3 innings against him in his first start on April 5. Opponents are hitting just .246 against him. Sampson has appeared in three games, the last two of which were starts. In his two starts he's allowed two runs in 12 innings. He's allowed just ten hits and three walks in 15 innings this season.

LONDON, Jan. 15, 2013-- INRIX announced the availability of a turn-key set of applications for media that deliver traffic and travel news in less time and at significantly lower cost than traditional methods.
"This opens up a whole new market for traffic reporting," said Nick Simmons, Vice President and General Manager of Media, INRIX. "For the first time, local broadcasters have access to turn-key, professional services that deliver valuable traffic insight and inventory with just a few clicks."
The INRIX Digital Media Suite consists of a radio and a TV application offering journalists robust yet simple to use "drag and drop" traffic report creation and editing tools. By eliminating the time journalists waste scouring multiple sites with a service that provides a complete view of traffic conditions in one application, reporters can create their reports and broadcast breaking travel news in a matter of minutes. The Apps provide journalists with an intuitive Web-based interface that offers a comprehensive picture of local conditions including traffic speeds and travel times, detailed real-time traffic maps, alerts to delays caused by accidents and other incidents as well as real-time eyewitness reports from the station's Twitter and Facebook community. Unlike legacy traffic systems requiring stations to buy expensive hardware that is extremely difficult to scale, INRIX TV and INRIX Radio can be activated immediately and scaled to connect with other devices, production facilities or desired coverage areas.
Specific INRIX Radio and INRIX TV App features include:
One Source for Accurate and Relevant Traffic Information
INRIX Digital Media Suite Apps are powered by traffic information content sourced from the INRIX Traffic Intelligence Platform which analyzes data from public and private sources ranging from government road sensors, official accident and incident reports to real-time traffic speeds crowd-sourced from community of approximately 100 million drivers. INRIX provides reporters with in-depth coverage of traffic conditions that extends beyond highways to city streets and other heavily travelled local roads. The INRIX Traffic Intelligence Platform accounts for common traffic-impacting factors, such as, the day of the week, the season, local holidays, current and forecasted weather, accidents and road construction to help ensure broadcasters provide their audience with time-saving insight they can rely on every day1.
INRIX Radio and INRIX TV joins the company's existing set of services for broadcasters that includes traffic flow and incident services. INRIX will demonstrate the INRIX Digital Media Suite at Le Radio in Paris, Radio Days Europe in Berlin and NAB 2013 in Las Vegas. For more information, go to www.inrix.com/media.

Nobody likes the brothers Busch. They're mean and snarky and they'll wreck you for no reason. (Kurt and Kyle are also really good drivers, which makes it even worse.) But in the new world of nicey-nice NASCAR it takes a mean and snarky guy to tell the truth, and Busch the Younger told it last week at Dover, Del.
"It's never Junior," Kyle Busch told the media. "It's always the crew chief."
His many fans have spent many years making excuses for Dale Earnhardt Jr., who's the most overrated figure in American sports. (That's unless/until Brett Favre unretires again, in which case he laps the field.) Earnhardt has won one Cup race in 1,100 days. When he was with DEI, it was said he was too good for his wicked stepmother's shop. But now he has been part of Rick Hendrick's imperial garage for 17 months, and nothing has changed.
Last week Hendick fired Tony Eury Jr., Earnhardt's longtime crew chief and also his cousin. Junior ranks 18th in points, putting him a distant fourth on his four-man team. The journeyman David Reutimann, driving for Michael Waltrip's modestly outfitted group, won the truncated Coca-Cola 600 a week ago. The sport's most popular driver finished 40th.
At Dover on Sunday, Earnhardt finished 12th and pronounced himself pleased with new crew chief Lance McGrew. That, too, will pass. Soon Earnhardt will again be finishing up the track, as we say in horse racing, and Junior Nation will scrounge for someone else to blame.
Kyle Busch again: "If Junior doesn't run well again, then [the crew chief] is going to be 'the problem' again."
Dale Earnhardt Jr. is 34, older than his far more accomplished teammate Jimmie Johnson. How long will it be until something actually becomes his fault? How long until Junior grows up?

Thanks for the Nascar blog! Please drop 1-2 of these a week, since Mark Martin has came back full time I have found it interesting to watch Nascar for the first time in 3-4 seasons.
Also note that David Reutimann has the nickname "The Franchise" by MWR (Michael Waltrip Racing) hardly a nickname given out to someone who is a journey man. Although we all can question Michael Waltrips eye for talent since his epic failure into being a car owner w/ Toyota!

If Junior had grown up hungry like his Dad did, he would be trying harder and winning more.
NASCAR itself has gone so far down hill that is has become almost as bad as pro hockey and pro basketball. Give me the days of Bill France and Bill France Jr. The drivers were individuals, said what they thought, and fought when they felt they had to fight. They also raced the entire race instead of just the last 20 to 50 laps.

Kyle Busch is the biggest D-Bag in NASCAR!!! He has no heart but I guess that's what you're saying it takes to win races??? Junior is not that way! He is not his dad. He drives his own way. GET OVER IT!
Hendrick didn't fire Tony Jr. He merely reassigned him with another position within the company.

Junior is way overated as a driver. Kyle, love him or hate him, is the most talented driver out there. His car/truck control is uncanny.
June 2nd, 2009
8:41 am
Tony Jr was not fired he was moved , because Hendrick could see it was not the crew cheif it is the DRIVER. He is given the same equipment as the other Hendrick drivers and is filling the pack instead of contending for the championship.

Dale Jr. is a complete joke! Time to get off daddy's coattails there junebug. Go back to the Busch Series, u might when there once a year.

It seems Junior's heart has never been in racing. Yes, he enjoyed the limelight with his Father prior to his death, and it appears, he just may have been riding the coatails. I think Junior cares about his family and those friends close around him, but the pressure to compete, win races, and championships has taken its toll. He is does not have the talent of the Busch bros. Junior would make a good car owner.
June 2nd, 2009
9:09 am
I think you are very wrong!!! Dale Jr has alot of talent! I would rather be a Dale Jr fan than a Kyle Busch fan! You ask when Junior is going to grow up? He always talks to the media no matter waht kind of day he had on the track! After 3 flat tires this weekend where was Kyle? Not talking to the media and pouting as usual!!! I would like to see you get out there and drive a race car with the last name of Earnhardt! I will be a Dale Jr fan Forever!
June 2nd, 2009

Junior's more Dick Trickle than Cole Trickle, but what the hell….somebody has to be 36, 37, 38, 39…….etc. Poor ol' Junior, all of that acclaim, fame, and change….just no wins. But we all know, the chicks dig the wallet, not the trophies.
I never liked the Old Man, but Junior is a very likeable fellow….I just wish he could win a few races, although he's certainly no "Awesome Bill from Dawsonville".
June 2nd, 2009
9:28 am
This poll result SHOULD be one-sided. Brett Favre has a championship; Dale Earnhardt Jr. never will.
Hendrick Motorsports should not worry about crew chiefs. They should tell Jr. to worry about pressing the gas pedal and racing instead of doing commercials.
June 2nd, 2009
9:34 am
Everyone expects him to be like his daddy, just isn't going to happen. Look at Kyle Petty. He is a perfect example. Sometimes the apple does fall from the tree.
June 2nd, 2009
9:44 am
Though a little (very little) more competitive than Kyle Petty was, he still, like Petty, trades on his old man's name and basically just rides around every weekend. But, it beats a regular job, he's making good money and nailing good lookin' women, if he can live with the not winning part, more power to him. He's like South Carolina football, he doesn't win much, but the fans turn out in droves.
June 2nd, 2009
9:49 am
Mark you do cover the field, thanks. " Cavuto"
Little E has won 1 race out of 57?….agree he's over rated. Kyle Busch has won 10 or more this year counting everything. Mean are just a damn good driver? Oh, Little -e ,will wreak your a@@. He has caused several this year, but to his fans he can do no wrong.
What's happen to the great # 24? Whats his excuse?
June 2nd, 2009
9:54 am
I like the guy. He was my favorite driver. Honestly, I too often turn off the races when he ain't running good, which, sadly, is all too often these days. Don't know why it all fell apart after the 2004 season, but this is now season five or so of stinking. I just don't think he's focused, and I don't think he works out hard enough. If he worked out more, and partied less, he might not wilt so much during races and seasons. People think NASCAR is not an athletic event, but it does take a good amount of strength and endurance to go 500, 600 miles 35 times a year. The less in shape you are, the less your body and your mind will be able to withstand the rigors of the long races and long seasons.
I think Junior needs to rededicate himself to conditioning, less partying, and more racing. Kyle Busch would run every darn race all week long if he could. He loves racing, competing, winning, showcasing his skills that much. It seems to me that alot of struggling drivers seem to do better if they race more, especially in things like truck or the Busch series, where the results don't matter as much, and you can just race for the simple thrill of it.
June 2nd, 2009
9:54 am
You can teach a monkey to drive a NASCAR! NASCAR is the WWE of racing! And anybody that thinks that ANY NASCAR driver can compete in any other form of motor sport is a fool. I've worked in the ALMS, ROLEX and the FIA GT and there's not a single NASCAR driver that is on the level of any driver that competes on a worldwide level.
I even worked with AJR at the 24hrs of Daytona, Both of the Earnhardt's struggled to even get the factory Vette's out of the pits, and after stalling the car twice(sr), and three(jr) times they were in the fastest car on the track still running 3.5sec off the pace of the other drivers on their team! Get some real heroes NASCAR fans!
The mediocrity of your talent pool only adds to the stupidity of driving in a circle! Sad but true! GM and Chrysler might still be in business five years from now if they were building proven street cars by developing REAL race cars! Im sure that's banging around like a bb in a battleship in the heads of most of NASCAR fans but it's true!
Jr sucks! Any one can be a NASCAR driver! Im a 9 year motor sport vet, 9yrs as a composite tech working on REAL RACE CARS w/ REAL DRIVERS and REAL MECHANICS and REAL PIT TEAMS!
June 2nd, 2009

Dale Jr. has always been vastly overrated. Just imagine how bad this guy would be if he were on one of the teams with far fewer resources. If that were the case he would have had a hard time being in the top 35. Let's face it. He tries hard but he just isn't very good.
June 2nd, 2009

Being a NASCAR fan it pains me to say this but Danica Patrick is a more talented driver than Dale Jr.

Jr. is a bit overrated, but has had some success & does have talent. However, he lacks the grit/tenacity of his Daddy & seems overly fixated on being an "anti-hero"/maverick while milking the media spotlight & sponsorship gravy train. He tries too hard to be non-traditional, and needs to get back to the basics.

Now that will give the fans something to cheer about.
He is running for show now anyhow.
June 2nd, 2009
10:55 am
Nascar has gotten too boring to watch. The changes over the last 20 years have decimated a once great sport.
Restrictor plates began the problems. Then, we have the rule of no more racing back to the yellow flag. then the "lucky dog" rule to compensate for that makes racing a joke.
They have legislated the drivers to the point of pure boredom! Tony Stewart kept it exciting for awhile until he got tired of paying fines, now he is boring too.
The next debacle is the stupid "race to the chase." That totally is a terrible system that eliminates the majority of the field toward the end of the season.
Now we have this POS called the "car of tomorrow"
When did "stock" car racing decide to abandon all differences between cars. This sport is going the wrong direction as evidenced by attendance figures.
June 2nd, 2009
11:08 am
Its about time someone had the grape fruits to call JR out on his lousy performance at HMS. He is a disgrace to his daddy's name! If SR were alive, he would of fired his lousy a$$ three years ago.

GREAT article!! Yes, Eury Jr. was ""moved"".. technically, but he was fired from being crew chief. Until they work on the real problem, the driver, it won't be fixed. And, good for Kyle for saying the truth. Kyle is awesome!!!
June 2nd, 2009
11:39 am
Dale Jr. is nothing like his dad, he is more like Kerry Earnhardt than he is like Dale Sr.
The only reason all of you rednecks love him is because he gives you that connection to the past, to the "Intimidator". Who, by the way always said what he felt and rubbed people the wrong way. Similar to a young Kyle Busch.
When it is all said and done, Dale Jr will be more like Kyle Petty and Kyle Busch will be more like Dale Sr.
Just wait and see…
June 2nd, 2009
11:42 am
Goodness knows that Brett Farve is overrated (Fran Tarkenton was right) but he did win a Super Bowl so I would not even say that Dale Jr. is in his league. Unfortuantely, Dale Jr. has more in common with…Anna Kournikova—-boatloads of endorsement income but very little money or titles earned competitively…plus they both talk funny!
June 2nd, 2009
12:12 pm
I"m a big fan of Karl Childers. I laugh every time.
June 2nd, 2009
12:15 pm
Jr. is no race car driver and if his dad didnt wreck the best drivers to win most of his races he would only have maybe 2 championshps. Never cared for either one of them. I will say that the races were more interesting when Sr. was around because then I had someone to hate.
June 2nd, 2009
12:21 pm
You pretty much hit the nail on the head with your question about Jr. growing up, Mr. Bradley. I've been saying this for years. He spends too much time running with his "posse", opening up new bars, and playing x-box when he should be spending more time with the racing team, practicing, and establishing a better working relationship with his pit crew. Indeed, when WILL he grow up and take his occupation more seriously and approach it in a more intense manner?
June 2nd, 2009
12:53 pm
Junior would probably laugh (all the way to the bank!) at some of these comments while he counts his money.
Guy above hit it on the head about the boring aspect of nascar…the all look alike, have same HP, cannot race back to flag, don't have to worry much about making up a "lucky dog" lap…but just must keep the $30MM sponser happy.
June 2nd, 2009
1:11 pm
Back before Dale died and the WWJD bumper stickers were popular, a guy I worked with had a sign at his desk, "WWLED." What would Little E do? He has never and cannot ever live up to the hype.
June 2nd, 2009
1:12 pm
All you see on here are Jr bashers, including the writer. Not Jr fan but hate Whiney Kyle Busch. He could not wait to try to trash Jr. with cc change and all it did was prove what a arrogant jerk that thinks he is better than everyone else. He would NOT make a pimple on either Sr or Jr's Butt. It sounds to me everyone is jealous of Dale Jr.Hey if you got it go with it. Jr just happens to have it apparently. I think Jr lost his way when his daddy died. He does not deserve you all bashing the why you do. That young man even after the crap Kyle or anyone else talks about him always shows he is a better person and never heard him
try to begrade anyone. That is a true champion in my book!
June 2nd, 2009
1:27 pm
I think all of us should step in to JR's shoes and see if we could with stand the pressure. UNlike no other sibling in ALL sporst has someone had to live in the shadows that Jr does. It is a far bigger shadow than Klye Petty ever had cause Dale Sr was taken Tragicly and her was Jr. Still trying to develop as a drive, when he was thrust into this huge shadow. A huge fan following searching for answers and he was put into a situation i dare say no of us could have handled well. Now take Earnhart off of his name and look at him as a driver. He is Mark Martin, Sterling Marlin, Ryan Newman, Clint Boyer, Kyle Bush…good driver who has won a championship. Yes Kyle has one alot of races lately in all series, but no championships in any of them. At leats Jr has to nationwise series championships. As for the guy who thinks if his father was alive he would fire him, and for the person who thinks he was to good to work for terasea: If his dad was alive he would be better focased,less pressure, still driving at DEI in the number 8. as far as crew chiefs go, they ar a dime a dozen, look how many people brad parret has been crew chief for. Chad Kanus said it best last night on this week in nascar, if it had been any other crew chief change beside dale jr. it would be a mute issue. I bet there have been atleats 5 five chew chief changes before this on. Rouse and RCR do it all the time. The fact of the matter is some people just want to hate on JR. I like Jr, wasn't a huge Sr. fan but respected the guy. One thing is for sure, Dale Sr. would have got in Jr's face and got his mind right, but he also would have told all you haters to shut the H*** up and if you don't like it line up and get you but whipped.
June 2nd, 2009
1:44 pm
I've never met Dale Jr. and I'm sure he's a nice enough guy but he's basically just an average driver.
On Dick Trickle: If you only saw him drive in Winston Cup, you never saw the real Dick Trickle. He was in his late 40's before he ever got a regular Winston Cup ride. He had over 1200 feature wins (estimated, nobody knows for sure) on the short tracks around the country. Back in the 70's (1973 I think) he was the winningest short track driver in the country with over 70 wins. I saw the man race many times when he was in his prime and he could wheel.
Kurt Busch: Love him or hate him; he can drive a race car.
To me, NASCAR has never been the same since about the early 80's when the emphasis went from winning races to winning championships. Back in the 70's you had David Pearson with the Wood Brothers, Donnie Allison with Hoss Ellington, etc. who didn't run all the races and didn't care about points. They were strictly there to win the race and it raised the level of competition. Once a few years ago, I heard a driver (I forget which one) say, "I had a chance to win the race but I had to think about the big picture and not push it". I about puked. You'd never hear a real racer say something like that.
June 2nd, 2009
1:55 pm
Isn't it ironic as hell that Earnhardt fans are ripping Kyle Busch. The firey youngster is the closest thing the sport has had to Dale Earnhardt since he was in his prime. I love this guys "checkers or wreckers" mentality.
June 2nd, 2009
1:57 pm
NASCAR should spend whatever is necessary to entice Danica Patrick into the Car of Tomorrow, and I don't mean in the back seat! NASCAR badly needs a jolt, and Danica is the outstanding race car driver with the looks, public recognition and Busch-like competitiveness to provide it (plus she's got a healthy temper). Helton and the bigs should also do more than provide token lip service to developing more Black and Hispanic race drivers, ever notice when the grandstand crowd lifts out of the seats, its (literally!) Lily White?? How sustainable is that in tomorrow's U. S. demographics??
June 2nd, 2009
1:58 pm
Thank you Mark Bradley. This says it all for those of us who aren't hiding behind #88 sunglasses.
Dale Jr. is just as good as Steven Wallace! Two guys who are only in the sport because of their dads.
June 2nd, 2009
2:04 pm
I'm waiting for Warren Wallace!
June 2nd, 2009
2:34 pm
Actually, it was Lauren Wallace. And I miss him, too. Its a shame the relationship between Mike Wallace and GEICO had to end.
And apparently, at some point, its become "cool" to be a Junior basher. Not sure when that happened. I don't see how anyone can question Junior's drive to have more success. If all he was interested in was money, he could have stayed at DEI and still be raking it in. Of course, alot of people are going to say that he moved to Hendrick just to cash in on people buying new gear. But if that was his main reason for switching, why not go to RCR and drive the #3 car? That would have resulted in even more sales. And it would have made a large part of his fan base MUCH happier than his decision to be Jeff Gordon's teammate. I'm surprised Junior didn't lose more of his fan base by making that move.
There's also alot of people who say that Junior spends too much time with his "extra" activities, like video games and Whisky River, and it pulls his concentration away from racing. But many of the press people say that Junior spends more time with his race team than any other driver. They say that he rarely leaves the track during a race weekend and is always one of the last drivers to leave the track after a race. Many of you suppose that you know exactly what Junior does between races during the week. But you don't. You have no way of knowing. Very few of us do. I have heard it said, though, that he spends little to no time at his bar. And I have heard straight from his own cousin who works in the store at JR Motorsports that he spends at least 1 full day (sometimes more) of his off time at JR Motorsports taking care of business related to the race team.
I sincerely hope that the crew chief change on the #88 team works out as good as all of Junior's fans hope it will. I hope he starts winning races, making the Chase, and eventually getting one or more of those Cup championships that have eluded him. It won't matter in terms of Internet chatter, I guess, because the Junior bashers will still give reasons why everyone but Junior should be credited with any success the #88 team has. But Junior's fans will know the real reason… that their driver was just as talented as they'd hoped all along, and now he's got the capability to prove it.

Before you buy the latest anti-aging skin cream or conditioning hair product, consider this: Your diet plays a key role in how you look.
In other words, if you're not taking care of yourself on the inside -- drinking enough water and eating healthy foods -- all the expensive beauty products and makeup in the world won't stop you from looking pale and exhausted on the outside.
Michele Pavia, wellness expert and author of Lose Your F in Attitude, explains how by simply including the five following foods in a well-balanced diet, we can look radiant and gorgeous from the inside out:
"... Makeup gives an illusion not so much of beauty but of health. A healthy complexion with plump lips is healthy. A sallow complexion with dehydrated and pale lips can mean anemia or an underlying condition or disease; or, simply a poor diet. So, you see that what we eat can actually help us be more healthy looking; and healthy looking is the key to beauty."
In other words, you know the old saying, "You are what you eat"? That most certainly applies to these five beautifying wonder foods ...
1. Raisins
Beauty benefits: Radiant, healthy skin; reduced eye squinting; increased eye sparkle.
Why it makes you look good: Loaded with potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, and iron, raisins help with body balance and boost blood health. They also are packed with photonutrients, which help fight germs, bacteria, and viruses -- thus causing your body to look more vibrant and strong. Raisins give the body energy and vitality and help in relieving toxins.
Recommended amount per week: A handful or more every other day. Keep a box in your purse for a convenient, naturally sweet snack.
2. Tomatoes
Beauty benefits: Rejuvenated, younger-looking skin; shiny hair.
Why it makes you look good: Tomatoes are packed with antioxidants that flush free radicals away and help you keep a youthful appearance. One serving has a huge helping of vitamin C, which aids in detoxing and immunity function.
Recommended amount per week: Every other day. In a sauce, on a pizza, plain ... there is no wrong way to get this food. It only takes a few tablespoons to give you optimal benefit, so have your sauce without guilt! You can even slather it on your skin to relieve sunburns, or comb through your hair to add shine.
3. Peanuts
Beauty benefits: Muscle tone; healthy skin; strong hair and nails; good posture.
Why it makes you look good: Peanuts are packed with protein, which gives you strong and healthy hair and nails; plus, it's a boost for skin tone and muscle tone. Rich in calcium, they help bone health, which shows in how you carry yourself: Strong bones and standing tall are a beautiful asset. Peanuts also have fiber; so you'll notice that you eliminate a bit more and that is great for skin health.
Recommended amount per week: Every other day or three times a week (provided you don't have a peanut allergy).
4. Onions
Beauty benefits: Healthy-looking skin, hair, eyes, and teeth.
Why it makes you look good: The sulfides and chromium in onions help to boost the immune system and heart health, as well as act as an antibacterial and detox trigger. Onions also help the person to lose unwanted water weight gently, thus eliminating bloating as well.
Recommended amount per week: A few slivers every other day.
5. Potatoes
Beauty benefits: Reduced wrinkles; strong, energetic body.
Why it makes you look good: Potatoes have vitamin C, potassium, manganese, B6, copper, tryptophan, and fiber -- all of which are great to calm you down and relieve joint health. Having healthy nerves and joint health not only help you feel better, but you'll walk and talk differently than if you're in pain or stressed. In fact, eat a potato and you'll be walking and acting like a carefree youth.
Recommended amount per week: Potatoes can be eaten almost daily.
If you happen to fall short of the weekly recommendations once in a while, don't sweat it. Just chug a couple extra glasses of water and you'll be feeling young and beautiful in no time.

Do chocolate covered raisins count?
Awesome-I just need to add more raisins and I'm set! :-)
Hi All - Michele here :)
To be honest, Chocolate covered raisins are not bad once in a while but I'd go slow on them for a daily "food" only because the sugar content if it is milk chocolate and sweetened.
One thing you can do is mix one small box of chocolate raisins, one small box of yogurt covered raisins and two boxes of plain... a snack with oomph and not overwhelming with additives.
To be honest, my favorite "hormonal/pms" snack is lightly salted raisins. (the snack size boxes, a handful or so) and I use ionized salt because I don't eat much seafood and ionized really can boost the thyroid. It's got the perfect salt/sugar thing with PMS! LOL
I eat 4 out of 5 on a daily.....I wonder how muct cuter I could get by eating more raisins? LOL.
Dang! That's the 1st time I can say all of the above on the list, I EAT!!!!!
