The newly created expanded Freedom of Information Act advisory committee set oversight of the FOIA process, increased proactive disclosure and eliminating fees as their top priorities at a June 24 meeting. The committee is comprised of government members and 10 non-governmental members with FOIA expertise. The group was created through the second Open Government National Action Plan with and charged studying FOIA across the government and advising on ways to improve FOIA.
Concern about mobile devices and records management sparked the National Archives and Records Administration to warn agencies about the challenges they're likely to face.
The increasing use of mobile devices at federal agencies may have broad implications for records management, something the National Archives and Records Administration has set out to address.
Federal agency records managers should develop an email management plan when using the new Capstone approach. The plan should suit the needs of the agency, while keeping with legal standards specific to the agency, the National Archives and Records Administration said during a recent workshop.
The Office of Personnel Management Dec. 27 issued a draft description of a formal records management occupational series. The draft position clarification flysheet for records management professionals intends to fulfill a requirement under President Obama's 2011 memorandum on managing government records.
Federal employees utilizing multiple official email accounts doesn't go against record management practices so long as each email account is traceable to its single user, says the National Archives and Records Administration.
The National Archives and Records Administration doesn't know where all agencies store their physical records, the Government Accountability Office says. NARA has tried to gather that information, but not all agencies submitted it. The data that NARA has received is mostly from 2008 and 2009 and is now outdated, the GAO says in a report (.pdf) released Sept. 10.
Federal agencies now have the option of simply designating the contents of entire email accounts as worthy of preservation by the National Archives and Records Administration rather than counting on their users to recognize which individual messages should be sent to NARA.
Auditors find that Homeland Security Department components are doing a good job implementing a 2009 executive order against over classification and subsequent law that specifically requires the homeland security secretary to develop strategy against over classification.
Nearly 80 percent of a 357 million page backlog of classified records has gone through the National Declassification Center's quality assurance review stage, the center announced Aug. 8 in its biannual report. During the quality assurance stage, the NDC works to ensure that still-sensitive information remains classified and that records appropriate for release are declassified.

I am very disappointed that the FreeTime is not available in Scotland or the rest of the UK. Just bought a Kindle Fire HD for my son's Christmas and I have to leave it without adequate parental controls. Yet I've seen complaints on Amazons forums that it is advertised as having this in the UK.
Can't Amazon just post a release date? Will it be available by Christmas?
I have to say also that they could do with a simple setup guide if you're a parent buying for a child. For example…
Do I register the device to me, then add an account for the kid (and how do you do this)?
Also the credit card requirement is all wrong if I want to let my kid download free apps.
Apart from these frustrating downers it does seem to be a great little device! At least its not as confusing as the whole XBox sign up shenanigans of last year!! Now don't get me started on that.

Domestic violence survivors often need time off from work to care for a family member who has a serious health condition (whether mental or physical), which is caused or made worse by domestic violence abuse. Under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act and the California Family Rights Act, those employees may be able to take up to twelve weeks of job protected (but unpaid) time off from work each year to care for a child, parent, spouse or registered domestic partner with a serious health condition. California state law provides strong privacy protections for survivors that may allow an employee to take time off from work without disclosing the domestic violence or underlying diagnosis of the survivor to their employer.
Federal and state law provide certain employees with the right to take an unpaid leave from work to care for a family member who has a serious health condition. The federal law is the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA); the state law is the California Family Rights Act (CFRA).
If you qualify for a family/medical leave under these laws, your employer:
Family/medical leave laws also make it illegal for your employer to interfere with your right to take a family/ medical leave, to harass you for taking a family/medical leave, to deny a valid leave request, or to refuse to hire or promote you because you have taken or will take a family/medical leave. It is also illegal for your employer to retaliate against you for requesting a family/medical leave or for complaining about a violation of family/medical leave laws.
Other laws also prohibit your employer from discriminating against you because your employer believes you will have to miss work to care for a family member with a disability.2. Are you covered under family/medical leave laws?
You must meet all of the following conditions to be covered by the family/medical leave laws:
Under the family/medical leave laws, a serious health condition is an illness, injury, impairment, physical condition, or mental condition that causes a period of incapacity (meaning inability to work, attend school or perform other regular daily activities) and requires at least one of the following:
Under family/medical leave laws, the continuing treatment provision requires one of the following:
Cosmetic treatments or surgery, and treatments for routine conditions, such as the flu, are not generally considered sufficient to count as a serious health condition.
Treatment under family/medical leave laws includes examinations to determine if a serious health condition exists and evaluation of that condition. Treatment does not include routine physical, eye or dental exams.
The term health care provider includes:
If your employer's health care plan accepts certification from your family member's doctor of the existence of a serious health condition to substantiate a claim for benefits, your family member's doctor probably counts as a health care provider under the family/medical leave laws.
You may take time off to care for your parent, child, spouse or registered domestic partner with a serious health condition. Parent means a biological parent or an individual who cared for you as a parent when you were a child. Parents-in-law are not included. Spouse means a husband or wife as recognized by the state in which you live. Registered domestic partner means partners of the same sex who have filed a Declaration of Domestic Partnership with the Secretary of State.
Child means a biological, adopted or foster child, a legal ward, or a child for whom you act as a parent even if you have not formally adopted the child. A child must be either (1) under the age of 18, or (2) 18 or older and incapable of self-care because of a mental or physical disability.4. What types of care are covered under family/medical leave laws?
Family/medical leave laws recognize that you may be needed to provide physical or psychological care, or both. So, for example, you may take a family/medical leave when you are needed to provide physical care for a family member with a serious health condition (such as bathing, administering medication, feeding, or transporting to the doctor where the family member is unable to take care of these needs by himself/herself) or if a doctor determines that your providing psychological comfort or reassurance to a family member would be beneficial (staying with a family member who is undergoing surgery, for example). You may also take leave when you are needed to arrange changes in care or to fill in for others who are caring for the family member.5. What are your employer's obligations in notifying you of your family/medical leave rights?
An employer that is covered by the family/medical leave laws (employs 50 or more employees) must do the following:
If your employer has not notified you of your family/medical leave rights and you believe your employer is covered under the family/medical leave laws, ask your employer for information about these rights.6. What are the terms of a family/medical leave?
You must give your employer notice 30 days before taking a family/medical leave that is foreseeable, such as for major surgery scheduled in advance. If you need leave suddenly to care for a family member or if a family member has a medical emergency, you must tell your employer as soon as possible, usually within a couple of days. You should notify your employer in writing of your need for a family/medical leave, and make sure to have documentation of your employer's response.
You are not required to disclose to your employer your family member's diagnosis, but you must give your employer enough information to understand that you are needed to care for a family member who has a serious health condition.
Be sure you understand your employer's rules for family/medical leave before you take leave. Also ask your employer for written information about your rights and responsibilities for family/medical leave.8. What information may your employer request about your leave?
If you take a family/medical leave, your employer is allowed to request from you:
Your employer may ask for written medical certification (such as a doctor's note) showing you are needed to care for a family member with a serious medical condition. The certification does not have to disclose your family member's actual diagnosis, but it must provide enough information for your employer to verify your need for leave. A doctor's note should contain:
Your employer may not ask you or your family member's doctor for more than this basic information. If the certification for your family member's serious health condition meets these requirements, your employer must accept it as sufficient. Your employer may not demand a second or third opinion for certification of a family member's serious health condition. Your employer must keep any medical information provided in a certification confidential.10. Can you take intermittent or part-time leave?
You may take family/medical leave on an intermittent or reduced (part-time) work schedule when your family member's care is best accommodated through an intermittent or reduced work schedule. You may take intermittent leave not only where the family member's need for care is intermittent (for monthly counseling, for example), but also where you are needed only intermittently (such as when sharing care responsibilities with others).
If you need intermittent leave or a reduced work schedule, you must attempt to arrange a schedule with your employer that minimizes disruption of your employer's operations, but still meets your family member's need for care as determined by the health care provider. Your employer may temporarily transfer you to an alternative position with equivalent pay and benefits if that position better accommodates your need for intermittent leave.
Your employer cannot make you take more leave than is medically necessary to care for your family member, nor transfer you to a different position to punish you for taking leave (by transferring you to the late night shift, for example). Once you no longer need a reduced schedule, your employer must reinstate you to the same or equivalent position that you held before taking intermittent leave.11. How does family/medical leave relate to other kinds of leave?
Either you or your employer may choose to apply any accrued paid vacation or personal leave during your leave to care for a family member. However, your employer may apply your vacation or personal leave time only if you request leave for a reason that is covered under the family/medical leave laws. In addition, if your employer's sick leave policy covers time to care for family members, you or your employer may choose to apply your accrued sick time during your leave to care for a family member.
If paid leave of any type is applied during a family/medical leave and your employer's requirements for using that paid leave are less stringent than those in the family/medical leave laws, only those less-stringent requirements may be imposed. (For example, if you do not need to submit a doctor's note to verify your need for personal leave, then your employer cannot ask you to submit a doctor's note to verify your need for family/medical leave.) Your employer may not retroactively designate paid time off as a family/medical leave after you return to work.
Paid Family Leave entitles employees who participate in the State Disability Insurance system to receive a maximum of six weeks of partial pay each year when they take off work to care for a family member with a serious health condition. An employee can receive Paid Family Leave benefits while taking family/medical leave.
Employees who are not eligible for job-protected family/medical leave may still be eligible to receive Paid Family Leave benefits if they pay into State Disability Insurance, and must miss work to care for a family member. All employees who pay into SDI are eligible to receive Paid Family Leave benefits, regardless of the size of the employer or length of employment.
Employers who provide sick leave to their employees must allow employees to use at least half of their annual sick leave time to care for a child, spouse, domestic partner or parent. If you qualify for sick leave, you can use this time to care for these family members (including domestic violence survivors) and your employer cannot discipline you for taking this needed time off.
Family/medical leave laws establish minimum family/medical leave rights. If your employer provides greater family/medical leave benefits under a union contract, other contract, policy or practice, you are entitled to the more generous benefits.Compensatory ("Comp") Time
Your employer may not require you to substitute comp time off for unpaid family/medical leave.12. Where can you get help regarding your family/medical leave rights?
For information about the application of family and medical leave rights to your particular situation, contact the Domestic Violence and Employment Project of the Legal Aid Society–Employment Law Center toll-free at (888) 864-8335 toll-free in California or (415) 593-0033 Outside California.

Allegiant to Place Order for Airbus Jets?
Allegiant Air is strongly considering placing an order with Airbus for a number of narrow-body aircraft to update their fleet, according to our sources at Airnation.net.
We've been told that the Las Vegas-based budget carrier could order 4-8 A320 and A321 aircraft either through a direct purchase or more likely a lease arrangement.
Allegiant has performed strongly even in a difficult economy and is looking to upgrade its aging fleet of MD-80 series aircraft. Currently they have about 55 aircraft in service, most of which are the aformentioned MD-80 series planes.
They also operate a few Boeing 757-200 planes.

Nice…I hope this happens. The sooner the better they get those gas guzzling hunks of metal out of the sky.
Hey…don't look now but I think one of your A380's wings are falling off…
Haven't seen one fall off yet. And you won't either.
They are- they're being torn off in a hangar with all the airline maintenance workers wondering what the hell airbus did.
I don't normally get in to arguments Mr. Ruler but the DC-9/MD-80 is one of the great planes ever built. Reliable and solid performance. Over 1,000 built.
I happen to like the A380, but you hardly have any baseline to call it a great plane. It just hasn't been in the sky that long. It could end being great, but it surely is not as of now.
It has a LONNNGGGG way to go before it can stand next to the 747, which is a legendary plane.
Then answer me this Jim: How many people have lost their lives in an MD-80: Over 1,000
'As of November 2009, the MD-80 series has been involved in 60 incidents,[27] including 27 hull-loss accidents,[28] with 1,177 fatalities.[29]'
How many in an A380? 0
That would be ZERO
The MD-80 is a death trap, pure and simple.
You're comparing a plane that has been around for 30 years to a plane that's been around for 5.
And son, let me tell you something about life in general: Nothing is ever 'pure and simple' except in coloring books.
OH. He did NOT just try to compare the DC9 derivatives to the A380.
I need to go take my blood pressure pills.
This kid needs to take his toys and go home already. I feel bad for anyone reading this forum, being fed this bigotry. I supposed anyone not around long enough to realize you can't compare the safety record of a plane invented before Vietnam with one designed after 9/11 isn't bright enough to know when he's the pariah of the group.
Ruler, I know you spent a lot of time in high school (graduating at 22 per your previous rants) so did you ever take Statistics and/or Probability?
The A380 has been in service for less than 5 years and only 77 are flying, with approx 20 in the air at any given time. The 747 has been in service for 43 years and a total of 1,435 have been built, with approx 200 flying at any given time.
Do the f*****g math. Probability clearly indicates the 747 has more air time, thus the ratio between incidents:flights will be greater for the plane that hs been flying more.
And you also forgot to take into account the fact that flying was a lot different 40 years ago than it was today! Technology, pilot training, maintenance, and the safety systems installed in new planes wasn't invented when the 747 was designed. STOP COMPARING the 747 and a380 unless you provide DATA that backs up your theory! Your either lack of ability of unwillingness to make an intelligent comment is so disturbing! If you want anyone to take you seriously, than can you at least make an attempt to say something that makes sense? You're an embarassment to this site! Seriously, we are all laughing at you! LOL
Well, well, well… I did a little more research!
Like i said above, the A380 has been in service for less than 5 years with only 77 being built (keep in mind that a majority are still grounded awaiting their wing crack retrofits) and approx 25 in the air at any given time. The DC9/MD8x/MD90/717 has been in service for 47 years, with a total of 2,439 built and approx 280 of these DC9 derivatives in the air at any given time.
Turns out these numbers are more impressive than my use in the 747 vs a380 analogy!
Between 1965 and 1970, the DC9 was involved in 5 "incidents" per your lovely wikipedia site. At this time, only 400 had been built. Thus, the ratio between incidents and production units was 5:400 (or in lowest terms, 1:80).
Between 2007 and 2012, the A380 was involved in 1 "incident" per your lovely wikipedia site. At the time only 77 have been built. This yields a ratio of incidents and production units to 1:77.
Well, if we reduce these fractions, we yield that the DC9's incidents per production units was 1 incident per 80 planes while the A380's is 1 per 77 planes. Close yet the DC9 still wins! These statistics show that in the first 5 years of production, the DC9 built more planes per incident than the A380. Yes the incidents aren't the same; ALL of the 5 incidents for the DC9 were pilot/weather related while 100% of the A380's one incident was caused by design flaw (and yes, engines blowing up and wings breaking open count.
So does that clear it up for you? Even back in 1965, the DC9 still had a greater safety record than the A380 in 2012. And i neglected to mention the fact that the A380 had a major structural failure in it's wings within the first 5 years of ownership while the DC9 has never had one even after 47 years. Oh, and the FAA has certified the DC9 to 100,000 cycles with the A380 only given 20,000 cycles. Oh one more thing… The 747 has been given 20,000 cycles… Where does the A380 show improvement here? And the 747 was designed in 1970. And i should also mention the first A380 with the "wing cracks" had 250 cycles. Two hundred and fifty miniscule cycles. The DC9 is certified to fly 100 THOUSAND cycles without damage.
This is called DATA. This is how you develop solid opinions- not wikipedia or wherever else you seem to be getting your warped information from.
The next time you want to have one of your "rants" maybe think twice about posting data that only incriminates your "theory". You sound like an idiot. You truly are an embarrassment to this site and anyone who's unfortunate enough to have to read your rants.
Last time I checked Wikipedia was fairly reliable.
So, are you disputing that over 1,000 people have perished in crashes in the DC-9/MD-80? If that stat is wrong then ok. But let me see it.
Any hey…you're reading them. (rants)
Where in any of my replies do you see an indication that I'm disputing the total number of "incidents" for the DC9/MD80?
If you read very carefully my mathematics you will note I was counting the accidents for the DC9 between 1965 and 1970 as this is the only USEFUL data if one wishes to compare it to the A380. If you wish you may do the same for the MD80 between 1980 and 1985 however you will find the data works even more against you.
Statistically, you were less likely to experience an "incident" flying aboard a DC9 between 1965 and 1970 than you would flying an A380 between 2007 and 2012. The reason? Only 77 A380's have been produced. Between 1965 and 1970 there were 400 DC9's produced. There were more incidents for the DC9 in the first 5 years because there were more of them flying. If you had statistics or probability you would learn that ratios are used to compare data; not values. One incident per 77 planes flying is more "significant" than 5 incidents per 400 planes flying. Keep in mind that Douglas used to push out 2 planes per day before the DC9 when they were producing planes for war. The DC9 is much smaller than the A380 thus they could produce them faster. More planes in the air yields a greater probability of there being an incident. That's why planes pushed out in great quantity such as the DC9/MD80 have more incidents than the A380. As we have all tried to tell you, the A380 is simply too young in it's infancy to have gathered enough sample size to determine whether it's a better airplane than others who have been in production for 43 years. In the math I have done for you above, I have demonstrated that there are more incidents per A380 than incidents per the DC9 for the first 5 years the A380 was in production and for the first 5 years the DC9 was in production. This is called a "statistic" not a "number". I promise you, in 43 years time the A380 will have more incidents! And if they develop at the same rate as they do now (1 per every 77 flying) that 43 years from now the A380 will have more total incidents than the DC9 has now after 43 years of flying. The 1:77 value is called a "rate of change". As time progresses, more A380s will be produced, and thus the number of incidents will increase. What I'm telling you is that the A380 has a greater number of incidents per plane flying than the DC9 did 43 years ago. I cannot put it any simpler for you. The math is clear.
Do you get it now? We aren't making this up, I promise! It's called statistics.
My grad professors would have been proud tonight!
Damn Chris! I think you just stumped everyone on here including 'A380 Puppet'. :)
Good work!
Haha, the results proved it! I love Science…
I also forgot to add that if the shrapnel that punctured the wing of the A380 during the engine explosion was 12 inches aft, it would have most certainly caused an explosion of the wing and all 500 passengers would have perished. Right there that would bring the total number of A380 "deaths" to half of the total deaths for the DC9/MD80…. in one day. Analyzing the safety data for the DC9/MD80 and considering there are almost 300 of the DC9 derivatives in the air at ANY given time, there's no doubt it's one of the safest and most reliable airliners ever built. I should also note that the 717 maintains a dispatch reliability higher than ANY commercial airliner, ever. Not that it matters…
Impressive work Chris. Like James said, I don't think A380 knows what to say now.
Thanks! There isn't much more he can say… His theories are all full of holes! LOL
I can't find a single other commercial airliner that's had a major structural failure in as little as 250 cycles… Not a SINGLE one except for the A380.
If the puppet has some down time and wants to read published information he can check out these links.
This one illustrates the fact that the wing crack repairs are costing Emirates 30 million dollars a MONTH. Multiply that by 21 planes and it ain't looking pretty. So much for "low operating costs", eh?
And this one reads that each defective A380 (all of them) require 8 weeks to repair the faulty wing parts. That's two months grounded.
NOT A SINGLE commercial jet liner except for the A380 has cost it's airline this much money in damages in the first 5 years of ownership, for damage caused by faulty design. It's outrageous. The more i read about this "money pit" the more worried i get.
Back on subject, Allegiant had a fleet manager opening on it's web site saying "Airbus" behind it.. The Airbus has been taken off the job opening now but looks like they are getting some airbus planes. Anyone know from who or how many? Think way more than 4-8 planes..

Mass murderers want glory and fame. Somehow, we need to stop giving it to them.
Posted on May 28, 2014 via ShortFormBlog with 524 notes
I'm starting to understand the real failings of multi-cultural education growing up in K-12 schools. We gave everyone access to the "fun" parts of culture. Let's sing the dreidel song! Now we understand the Jewish experience. Let's talk about segregation. Wasn't that wrong. Aren't we glad it's over? Let's take turns reading parts of the "I Have a Dream" speech. We had access to the easy stuff without having to really examine the hard stuff. And we were giving easy access to things that aren't "ours" and shouldn't be "ours." So you can't just pick up the "fun" stuff and put it into your party theme or Facebook pictures. I'm using simple terms like fun because that's how multiculturalism was given to us as children. And while it may have served a purpose at the time, it gave us too much access to claim things that aren't ours.
I honestly, honestly think that is some of the reasons why the race parties are such a horrible fad on college campuses. They are carrying on what we did in elementary school. Let's make culture a party! Everyone bring your cultural food and put on a costume! The racism is present and good percentage of the participants are really expressing deep rooted racism. But some truly don't want to "understand why it's wrong" when they are re-enacting what we used to do with culture in elementary schools. Culture was supposed to be fun. "I don't understand why you are mad now? I thought culture was a party!" Party's over kids. Put down the head-dress.

You will never be completely at home again, because part of your heart always will be elsewhere. That is the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more than one place.

Pictures: The Biggest Cheaters in Sports
Major League Baseball suspended Alex Rodriguez through the end of the 2014 season for use of performance-enhancing drugs, making him the newest member of the group no athlete wants to join: the Sports Cheating Hall of Shame. It's the home for sports icons who got caught when they didn't play by the rules. We asked our staff to come up with the other members of the Hall who might be on the welcoming committee, ready embrace Armstrong as one of their own.

Tiger Woods( January 15, 2013 )
It wasn't cheating at golf that got Tiger Woods in trouble - it was the cheating he did on his wife with many women. It all came to a head the day after Thanksgiving in 2009 when Woods wrecked his Escalade outside his home in Isleworth. He was reportedly to avoid angry wife Elin Nordgren who found text messages from one of his mistresses. Woods' squeaky-clean image was forever erased, he entered rehab for sex addition and paid huge sums to Nordegren in their divorce. His golf game has yet to recover.

They would weep when they realise how lame they are without me.
There was this one time when playing ice hockey on the bridge when Picard was all like "Ensign! Cut that out! You're getting ice all over the instruments!" I was just about to tell him to stick it up his ass when hailing frequencies opened with a Romulan ship. The Romulans were like "Yo dude, get out of the neutral zone or we'll blow you up" but then they saw how badass I was being and joined me in my hockey match. We beat Picard 10-1
¿Por qué no ambos? *plays taco ad music*
I ain't related to nobody, baby. I'm a lone wolf. I do what I want, when I want, who I want.
I'll let you in on a secret. Fancy sweaters are the quickest way to pull maximum alien babes. Did you see that pumpkin sweater I wore in season 1 with celtic chain stitching in the middle? I had to use a phaser to ward off the chicks. Although the only thing set to stun was my killer looks.
I don't like to think about them. I prefer to think about manly things like banging hot chicks and my muscle car.
It was the spring of 47325.6. I had just finished eating a pizza in the Enterprise cafe when who should burst come out of the turbo lift but Captain Picard. He was all like "Sparks, go up to the bridge yo, and plot a course to Azati Prime" and I was like "i gotta course you can plot, the course of my foot kicking your ass!!" and I jumped in my muscle car with 14 alien babes and drove through the window of the cafe toward that planet where everyone runs around half naked and gives each other massages. Afterwards I played scrabble with the natives.
thankyou :D we are so happy people like our blog ^_^
\(*T▽T*)/ We are very honored to have you as a follower Mr Wheaton :D And we are glad we can evoke this strange, but good feeling you feel. Also, we can't wait to see you at Supanova, we're both coming as Sparks McGee ;D
We spent a day trying to come up with a witty answer to this but we got nothing. So I'm going to be literal and say with Paint.net
Thanks for the compliment anyway :D
yay thankyou!!!!! ^_^

Kelly Osbourne Dishes On Her Stay-Slim Secrets
Written on May 1, 2014 at 3:42 pm , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Jordan Clifford, editorial intern
Famous for her colorful hair, unique style and true-to-herself attitude, the fashion-forward Kelly Osbourne has been focused on getting and, more importantly, staying healthy. (Since kicking off her weight loss journey back in 2009, Osbourne has shed and kept off an impressive 70 pounds!) To help celebrate the launch of Wheat Thins Popped, we got the skinny on Osbourne's fit physique.
"I've been through a huge transformation in my life," Osbourne told FITNESS Associate Beauty Editor Molly Ritterbeck. "It's not just about health, it's about maintenance. It's finding the way you want to be and working on yourself and finding things that work for you." So, how does she do it? Simple swaps and go-to snacks are her top tricks. "I've started to take my own snacks with me on set," said the Fashion Police starlet, adding that Wheat Thin's new poppable product is actually one of her favorites.
"I tasted-tested every single one before I said 'yes' to doing this [campaign] because I can't lie," she said. And boy, do we appreciate her honesty! But sometimes a little mental fibbing is just what you need when it comes to swapping out those not-so-good-for-you treats. "If you want sour cream, have fat-free Greek yogurt instead and add some lime and a little pinch of salt and your mind thinks it's the same thing," explained Osbourne.
And when it comes to her workouts, Osbourne likes to mix it up. "I love a good sweat and a run and I do circuit training," she said. "But I also love my hula hooping and…fun stuff like the trampoline workouts and there's a jazzercise class that I want to start doing in LA." She even tried out salsa but says she can't keep it up "because I get too competitive and by the time I leave, I can't walk." Looks like her Dancing with the Stars days aren't quite behind her yet!

Wake Up, Fuel Up: 5 Ways to Build a Better Breakfast
Written on September 24, 2013 at 11:07 am , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Alena Hall, editorial intern
While breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, it's the first thing to go when a busy morning schedule gets the best of us. Unfortunately, those spared minutes do not provide the metabolism-revving, energy-boosting and cholesterol-lowering benefits of a well-balanced breakfast. We touched base with Bonnie Taub-Dix, RDN, author of Read It Before You Eat It and New York-based nutrition expert to get her top tips on fueling up before running out the door each morning. The most important meal of the day just got easier, tastier and a whole lot faster!
1. Think outside of the box of cereal. An ideal breakfast is made up of three components: whole-grain carbohydrates, lean protein and healthy fats. Mix and match some of your fave whole-grain, high-fiber cereals to customize your flavor—just read the label to keep sugar levels in check. If you have a thing for cereals that are a little too high, find another that is low in sugar (1-3 grams) and combine the two. Remember, watch portion sizes! Aim for 1 cup total, about the size of a tennis ball. For more dense cereals, like granola, shoot for a little less, as the cereal is more dense.
2. Don't make having breakfast negotiable. As much as we may hate to admit it, breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day. Skipping breakfast altogether leaves you feeling hungry and irritable, and possibly leads to overindulgence at lunchtime. Even nibbling on a handful of nuts or a piece of fruit is better than nothing—it sends the message to the brain that you have fuel to last you until the next meal. "If you have time to put on makeup, there's time for breakfast," says Bonnie. Have containers of yogurt, snack bags of chopped almonds and dry cereal and a bag of plastic spoons available for some grab-and-go goodness.
3. When making your lunch, toast a frozen whole grain waffle and add a smear of almond butter or cottage cheese topped with cinnamon for munching on-the-go. For those of us who squeeze in a workout before work, finding the right time to eat breakfast can be tricky. "Eat something on the light side about a half hour before working out," she suggests. Try Greek yogurt or a smoothie for a quick, easy-to-digest meal that will keep you energized through your workout and the rest of your morning.
4. When you are able to (even if it's only one day a week), take the time to make yourself a gourmet breakfast—perhaps an omelet stuffed with a medley of sautéed veggies and a whole grain muffin. You're worth it and your body will thank you for the attention!
5. Don't break the fast while multitasking! Yes, it's better to have breakfast while posting something on Twitter than to ditch this meal altogether, but when possible, pay attention to the texture, temperature and taste of your meal. If you pay attention to what you're eating you'll not only appreciate those three T's even more, but you'll also feel more satisfied and be less likely to search for something else.

10 Foods Fit Women Need: Your National Nutrition Month Shopping List!
Written on March 19, 2013 at 9:29 am , by Karla Walsh
We're right in the middle of National Nutrition Month—the perfect time for a pantry raid! We asked Allison Enke, R.D., a dietitian with Whole Foods Market, to help us examine our kitchen shelves and shopping lists to see if we're picking the proper fueling foods. Keep reading for her picks for the 10 essential items active women need in their pantries, refrigerators and freezers. "These foods that are packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other nutrients," says Enke.
1. Oatmeal. Soluble fiber from oatmeal, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. Click here for 11 fun ways our readers jazz up a usual bowl of oats!
2. Berries. A handful of frozen berries adds antioxidants and fiber to your morning smoothie or oatmeal. Blueberries are only 80 calories per cup, Enke notes, and they pack a powerful nutrition punch by supporting brain, eye and heart health.
3. Fish. Fatty fish are one of the best foods sources of essential omega-3 fatty acids and also provide vitamin D, a critical nutrient that many women lack (it works with calcium to preserve bone strength). Enke keeps cans of ready-to-serve 365 Everyday Value Wild Alaskan Red Sockeye Salmon in her pantry to add to salads or to make salmon patties for a quick, healthy dinner.
4. Flaxseed. Not a seafood fan? Flaxseeds are also rich in omega-3 fats, and they're also filled with fiber. Mix a spoonful into oatmeal, Greek yogurt or smoothies to add flavor, texture and nutrition.
5. Quinoa. It contains all 9 essential amino acids as well as bone-boosting minerals like copper, phosphorous, iron and magnesium. Try it in one of these FITNESS fan-favorite meals.
To see the other five foods you should always have on-hand for quick, nutritious meals and snacks, click below.

Fit Blogger We Love: Cait Plus Ate
Written on December 6, 2012 at 2:40 pm , by Karla Walsh
We've all probably had our fill of "Kate Plus 8." But Cait Plus Ate? That's a completely different story. Just like that other Kate, Cait is a master at juggling: she rocks her job, her school work (Cait's working toward her MBA!) and her active lifestyle—and with way less conflict than on a reality show.
Read on for Cait's can't-miss gym class, her super-powered snack pick and more.
My favorite way to work out: A well-choreographed, intense step class! My gym has an amazing one during which a routine is taught (broken down into combos) and dispersed throughout are tough cardio peak intervals. The step routine includes kicks, jumping knees and more heart-rate elevating workouts. It's fun to try to hit every move and the class flies by because I'm so busy concentrating on learning the combos! Top 40 hits on the playlist are the cherry on top.
On my fit life (fitness bucket) list: Aerial yoga! I have read so many cool reviews of these classes on blogs and would love to try one out for myself, but none are offered in my area. I enjoy yoga and any workout that switches it up and keeps things interesting is one for me—how much more unique can you get than aerial yoga?!
My fave fit snack: Fruit with plain Chobani. I prefer to flavor plain Chobani with chopped fruit than purchase the flavored Cho varieties. Bananas are my favorite fruit to combine with the Greek yogurt but I also love doing blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. Sometimes I also throw PB into the mix.
My fitness mantra: Do what I enjoy, not what I "should." I have forced myself to attend plenty of group fitness classes that absolutely crawled by simply because I thought that they were the classes I should be doing. I've realized that I reap so many more mental benefits of exercise when I go with the form of fitness I'm feelin' on a given day. If I want to do Zumba, I'll enjoy my workout and it'll go by faster if I do that and don't make myself run on a treadmill just because running seems like it might burn more calories. Movement should be fun and the enjoyment-not-should mantra is something I am actively working on learning each day, but I have made great progress!
My gym bag must-have: My Big Banjees running wallet by Sprigs! I actually use it to hold my iPhone, case and all, when I lift weights because I use my phone as my iPod too. It's the only running wallet I've ever found that will a) stay fixed on my arm and b) hold my iPhone with the case still on. I used to try to stick the iPhone in my waistband or sports bra, but you can imagine how cumbersome that was. My strength training sessions are easier now!

Top Chef All-Star Winner Richard Blais Trims Down Thanksgiving Dinner
Written on November 12, 2012 at 9:40 am , by Samantha Shelton
While Thanksgiving is one of the most delicious meals of the year, it's also usually the heaviest. Instead of chowing down on foods filled with oil, butter and mayonnaise, we searched for lighter fare that was still super tasty. What (or who) did we find? Bravo's Top Chef All-Star winner, Richard Blais. We met the cooking extraordinaire at a recent Dannon Oikos Greek yogurt event, where he wined and dined us with dishes that left us feeling full and satisfied, without the "oh my gosh I need to go run 10 miles" feeling.
So what's Blais' big secret? Aside from the fact that he's a top-notch chef who blows our aprons out of the water, he subbed the aforementioned ingredients with Dannon's Oikos Greek nonfat yogurt. We didn't miss any of the heavy-calorie items, and got to keep all the flavor. Win-win for us!
It wouldn't be right to brag about the decadent meal this marathoner whipped up without nabbing some recipes, though. Check out the appetizer and dessert dishes below, then use them to start and end a perfect Thanksgiving meal in your own home.
Malted Panna Cotta
Serves: 4
- 5 fl. oz. heavy cream
- 2/3 cup Dannon Oikos vanilla Greek nonfat yogurt (or use a 5.3 oz. single-serve container)
- 1 oz. sugar
- 1 oz. malted barley
- 1 gelatin sheet
- Clementine slices for garnish
- Candied ginger for garnish
- Chocolate dusted almonds for garnish
- Heat the heavy cream and sugar together until the sugar dissolves. Remove liquid from the heat and add malted barley. Let steep for 1 hour.
- Strain mixture into a clean pot and stir in Greek yogurt.
- Bloom gelatin in an ice bath. Meanwhile, bring strained mixture to a simmer.
- Remove strained mixture from heat and add gelatin.
- Pour liquid into four small containers. Let chill for 2 hour or until panna cottas have set.
- Garnish each with a few slices of clementine, a scattering of candied ginger and chocolate dusted almonds.

Iron Chef Bobby Flay's Favorite Secret Ingredient
Written on October 1, 2012 at 11:07 am , by Karla Walsh
On Iron Chef, Bobby Flay has slayed the competition using ingredients as varied as buffalo, bananas and blue foot chicken. Clearly, this is one man who knows his way around the kitchen (or grill!). So what's this Food Network star's dream secret ingredient? "Greek yogurt. It's good for so much more than just eating straight topped with honey and berries," Flay says.
In fact, the tangy dairy item has made an appearance in several of his Iron Chef battles, including a grilled lamb dish with pomegranate and mint yogurt sauce that "takes 60 seconds to make." [Editor's note: Can we be on the tasting panel?]
Flay loves the versatility of Greek yogurt, using it as a meat marinade, substitute for heavy cream or creme fraiche as a soup-topper, and in dessert, of course. "Frozen yogurt is nothing new, so why not frozen Greek yogurt?" he suggests. "Think of it as a vanilla base and add berries, cinnamon or ricotta cheese."
Flay, who dreams of taking on Gordon Ramsay in Kitchen Stadium one day, has teamed up with Fage Total to host a recipe contest. They want to see your most innovative, flavorful Greek yogurt ideas. The winner will see her recipe featured on the menu at a special Plain Kitchen event (not to mention a trip to New York City to meet the chef himself)!
To get things rolling, Flay shared one of his favorite snack recipes that includes Greek yogurt: hummus with pita chips. Click below for the recipe, and find more at fageusa.com/plainkitchen.

Schnucks Log-O-Beef
A rather unfortunate name, in my opinion…
Posted in Photography Tagged food, funny, photo, photography, schnucks log-o-beef Leave a comment
Shiitake Mushrooms
The first fruiting of my home grown shiitake mushroom patch. Only two years for them to incubate and start producing!
For the shiitake mushrooms, I bought ~1000 inoculated plugs from fungi.com and put them into oak logs that I had cut on the property. It's a pretty labor intensive process: cut the oak (other hardwoods work too), let it age for about six weeks on the ground, drill a hole for each of the plugs, pound the plugs in with a rubber hammer, cover with wax, set the logs against something, water and wait. It took nearly two years for them to start fruiting. It's normally meant to be about six months, but mine took longer for some reason. There are a number of variables, so I'm not certain why.
I keep the logs behind the studio where they are mostly in shade, and water them with a lawn sprinkler every two days for fifteen minutes on a timer.
The process of plugging the logs took me about two half-days, with intermittent help from Rob and Kurt. The bigger logs weighed around 70 pounds each, and my back was sore for about two weeks afterwards from lifting them – that was bad. Big investment of energy up front, but now I only have to water them and harvest mushrooms.
You can also buy kits with inoculated substrate, usually wood chips or grain or something. These incubate faster, but also produce for a much shorter period of time – just a couple months. The logs are supposed to produce heavily for two years and then continue for up to five to six years, until the log is basically gone. You can check out more about this at fungi.com, and they have a variety of different mushrooms you can grow.

When the Fed Speaks, Markets Listen. Should You?
Sept. 26, 2013
Comments made by
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke following the Federal Reserve's June policy-setting
meeting caused a stir in the financial markets. The realization that the Fed
might cut back on some of its stimulus efforts sparked back-to-back declines of
more than 200 points in the Dow Jones Industrial Average.1 The Fed's recent decision to
continue its bond-buying program ("QE") to hold down interest rates was a
temporary relief to stock and bond markets.
Economists, Wall Street, and the
media may all try to anticipate potential monetary policy shifts. The odds of
an expected action may be "priced into" the financial markets even before
announcements are made, but surprises tend to have a more dramatic effect on
stock and bond prices.
The Federal Reserve has been using
unprecedented measures to help lower borrowing costs and stimulate economic
growth. Recent events serve as a reminder that even the misinterpretation of
Fed communications can spur episodes of market volatility.
Bernanke has further explained that
any decision to start tapering bond purchases would be separate from any action
to raise interest rates, and that the Fed still plans to hold the target
interest rate near zero until unemployment falls to 6.5% or less.ł
Clarification of the Fed's position seemed to reassure the markets; U.S. stock
indexes later rebounded to new highs.4
When interest rates go up, the
value of existing bond investments typically falls, which can adversely affect
performance. But bonds may still have an important role to play in many
investors' portfolios — namely to help moderate the effects of stock market
volatility and portfolio risk.
Applying sound investment
principles may help mitigate some of the risks associated with bond investing
in a low-interest-rate environment. Bonds with short-term maturities tend to be
less sensitive to interest-rate fluctuations than bonds with longer-term
maturities. Owning a diversified mix of bond investments may also help cushion
the effects of interest-rate risk. Diversification is a method used to help
manage investment risk; it does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss.
Stock indexes may move up or down
in response to the prospect of more or less Fed support of the economy, but
individual stock prices are also tied to corporate earnings growth. Thus, many
companies could benefit from a more robust economy, regardless of the level of
interest rates.
The return and principal value of
stocks and bonds fluctuate with market conditions. Shares, when sold, and bonds
redeemed prior to maturity may be worth more or less than their original cost.
U.S. Treasuries are guaranteed by the U.S. government as to the timely
payment of principal and interest.
Considering the overall level of
weakness, economists can only guess how long it will take for the broader
economy to improve enough for the Fed to tighten its policy stance. Following
Treasuries, 30-year fixed mortgage rates rose to a two-year high in July, which
could threaten to slow progress in the housing sector.8
The financial markets may continue
to react — and possibly overreact — as the Federal Reserve assesses economic
data and makes critical decisions in the coming months. Keeping a long-term
perspective and making sound investment decisions based on your time horizon,
risk tolerance, and personal financial goals may help your portfolio weather
short-term periods of market uncertainty.

Shiu-Lok Hu
Milo Gibaldi Endowed Professor, Department of Pharmaceutics; Professor, Department of Microbiology
Postdoctoral fellowship, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, New York; PhD in molecular biology, University of Wisconsin; BA with great distinction in biochemistry, University of California, Berkeley
Research Interests
- Design and preclinical evaluation of vaccines against HIV and related primate lentiviruses
- Structural, functional, and immunogenic studies of HIV-1 envelope proteins
- Host-pathogen interactions in primate lentivirus infections
Dr. Hu holds a BA degree with great distinction in biochemistry from the University of California, Berkeley, and a PhD in molecular biology from the University of Wisconsin. He completed his postdoctoral training in tumor virology in Dr. J.F. Sambrook's laboratory at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory.
The primary interests of his laboratory are HIV pathogenesis and approaches for the prevention and treatment of AIDS. Currently, the staff pursues three major research areas: design and preclinical evaluation of vaccines against HIV and related primate lentiviruses; structural, functional, and immunogenic studies of HIV-1 envelope proteins; and host-pathogen interactions in primate lentivirus infections. His research may yield insights for novel targets for antiviral therapy and help the development of appropriate animal models to study HIV infection and AIDS.
Previously, Hu was part of a team at Oncogen that pioneered bringing the prime-boost immunization method—an early AIDS vaccine candidate—to clinical trial in 1988. This discovery laid the foundation for much of his work at the UW. His focus now is on basic research coupled with pre-clinical, proof-of-concept studies. He is currently part of three, multiyear, multi-institution National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases HIV Vaccine Research and Design grants, for which his contributions total more than $9.5 million. He also has a $6.7 million Gates Foundation grant with the Consortium for AIDS Vaccine Discovery (CAVD), an international network of scientists designing novel HIV vaccine candidates and advance the most promising candidates to clinical trials.

Hello :) I'm gona rant about my height lol
Ok so I NEED to meet the boys and get a picture and all that but I'm pretty sure I'm taller then all of them…. Being 13 years old and 6 foot is NOT fun. I'm assuming the tallest boy is also 6 foot but that would just be awkward right? If I meet them should I scrunch down or make them go on tiptoes??? IT'S SO HARD!!!
I would just like to say i hate chips ahoy, but I love the boys
