B2. English Sweet

G. Wood/Oaked
H. Fruit (pear, cherry, stonefruit, canefruit, other)
I. Specialty
A1. Common Dry (<1.007 FG)
A2. Common Sweet (>1.007 FG):
(These two distinct categories are sweetness subdivisions of BJCP category 27A. The style guidelines below are borrowed from the BJCP but note that the subcategories break down the final gravity. It is the choice of the entrants to decide which sweetness category to enter into. The organizers and judges will not perform their own gravity readings but will expect perceived sweetness levels based on the category.)
A common cider is made from culinary/table apples, with wild or crab apples often used for acidity/tannin balance.
Aroma/Flavor: Sweet or low-alcohol ciders may have apple aroma and flavor. Dry ciders will be more wine-like with some esters. Sugar and acidity should combine to give a refreshing character, neither cloying nor too austere. Medium to high acidity.
Appearance: Clear to brilliant, pale to medium gold in color.
Mouthfeel: Medium body. Some tannin should be present for slight to moderate astringency, but little bitterness.
Overall Impression: Variable, but should be a medium, refreshing drink. Sweet ciders must not be cloying. Dry ciders must not be too austere. An ideal cider serves well as a "session" drink, and suitably accompanies a wide variety of food.
Comments: Entrants MUST specify carbonation level (still, petillant, or sparkling). Entrants MUST specify sweetness (dry, medium, sweet).
Apple Varieties: Common (Winesap, Macintosh, Golden Delicious, Braeburn, Jonathan), multi-use (Northern Spy, Russets, Baldwin), crabapples, any suitable wildings.
Commercial Examples: Numerous
B1. English Dry (<1.007 FG)
B2. English Sweet (>1.007 FG)
(These two distinct categories are sweetness subdivisions of BJCP category 27B. The style guidelines below are borrowed from the BJCP but note that the subcategories break down the final gravity. It is the choice of the entrants to decide which sweetness category to enter into. The organizers and judges will not perform their own gravity readings but will expect perceived sweetness levels based on the category.)
This includes the English "West Country" plus ciders inspired by that style. These ciders are made with bittersweet and bittersharp apple varieties cultivated specifically for cider making.
Aroma/Flavor: No overt apple character, but various flavors and esters that suggest apples. May have "smoky (bacon)" character from a combination of apple varieties and MLF. Some "Farmyard nose" may be present but must not dominate; mousiness is a serious fault. The common slight farmyard nose of an English West Country cider is the result of lactic acid bacteria, not a Brettanomyces contamination.
Appearance: Slightly cloudy to brilliant. Medium to deep gold color.
Mouthfeel: Full. Moderate to high tannin apparent as astringency and some bitterness. Carbonation still to moderate, never high or gushing.
Overall Impression: Generally dry, full-bodied, austere.
Comments: Entrants MUST specify carbonation level (still or petillant). Entrants MUST specify sweetness (dry to medium). Entrants MAY specify variety of apple for a single varietal cider; if specified, varietal character will be expected.
Apple Varieties: Kingston Black, Stoke Red, Dabinett, Foxwhelp, Yarlington Mill, various Jerseys, etc.
Commercial Examples: [US] Westcott Bay Traditional Very Dry, Traditional Dry and Traditional Medium Sweet (WA), Wandering Aengus Bloom (B2 Sweet) and Wandering Aengus Wanderlust (B1 Dry) (OR)
C. French
(This category generally follows BJCP category 27C. The style guidelines below are borrowed from the BJCP.)
This includes Normandy styles plus ciders inspired by those styles, including ciders made by various techniques to achieve the French flavor profile. These ciders are made with bittersweet and bitter-sharp apple varieties cultivated specifically for cider making. Traditional French procedures may use small amounts of salt and calcium compounds (calcium chloride, calcium carbonate) to aid the process of pectin coagulation. These compounds may be used, pre-fermentation, but in limited quantity. It is a fault if judges can detect a salty or chalky taste.
Aroma/Flavor: Fruity character/aroma. This may come from slow or arrested fermentation (in the French technique of défécation) or approximated by back sweetening with juice. Tends to a rich fullness.
Appearance: Clear to brilliant, medium to deep gold color.
Mouthfeel: Medium to full, mouth filling. Moderate tannin apparent mainly as astringency. Carbonation moderate to champagne-like, but at higher levels it must not gush or foam.
Overall Impression: Medium to sweet, full-bodied, rich.
Comments: Entrants MUST specify carbonation level (petillant or full). Entrants MUST specify sweetness (medium, sweet). Entrants MAY specify variety of apple for a single varietal cider; if specified, varietal character will be expected.
Apple Varieties: Nehou, Muscadet de Dieppe, Reine des Pommes, Michelin, etc.
Commercial Examples: EZ Orchards 2009, 2010, 2011
D. Hopped Cider:
Typically a common cider made from culinary/dessert apples with the added aroma and flavor of hops. Entrants must specify the base cider style (A Common, B English, C French).
Aroma/Flavor: Varies from dry to sweet. May have apple aroma and flavor. Must have hop aroma, may be lightly hop flavored. Hop bitterness should be light and may be nonexistent. Hop varieties may provide aromas of tropical/fruity/citrusy or woody/piney. Sweet hopped ciders should be sweetened to accentuate hop profile, not too cloying.
Appearance: Slight haze to brilliant, pale to medium gold in color.
Mouthfeel: Medium body. Hops may provide some bittering. Some tannin may be present for slight astringency.
Overall Impression: Should be a moderately complex yet light drink. Sweetened ciders must not be cloying. A distinct hop aroma must be present. Note that freshly-hopped ciders (using wet/fresh hops) may exhibit distinctly different aromas and flavors (grassy, plant-y) than using dried hops. Ideal hopped cider should be easy to drink and pair well with food.
Apple Varieties: Commonly made with culinary apples (pink lady, golden delicious, red delicious, fuji) and aromatic hops (cascade, amarillo, citra, chinook, simcoe).
Commercial Examples: Tieton Dry Hopped, Finnriver Dry Hopped, Anthem Hop
E: Wild/Non-Sac Cider:
Varies from Common to English to French style in presentation but overriding all should be complexity of the fermentation and potentially noticeable yet not overriding "faults". Aromas/flavors such as band-aid, mouse, rotting leaves and farmyard may not be considered a fault in this category provided the overall drink is enjoyable, in balance, and those aromas/tastes are subtle.
Aroma/Flavor: May include yeasty/bready notes, souring/puckering, rotting apples, moldy cheese. Sulphur/H2S is not acceptable except in minor amounts and not out of balance.
Appearance: Varies from cloudy to brilliant, pale to amber in color.
Mouthfeel: Body varies. Tannins may contribute astringency.
Overall Impression: The greatest capacity for expression exists in the judge's overall impression. For instance, if the entrant notes describe a pediococcus fermentation, the judges will look for corresponding flavors.
Comments: If using commercial yeast cultures, entrants must specify the cultures used and approximate proportion. For instance, brettanomyces bruxellensis or lactobacillus.
Apple Varieties: varies
Commercial Examples: Reverend Nat's Sacrilege Sour Cherry
F. Spiced/Herbed
Aroma and flavor should balance herbs or spices used with the flavors of the cider. Base cider style and herbs or spices used should be specified on entry form.
Aroma/Flavor: Entry form must specify the herbs and/or spices used and the judging will be based on the expectations set by the form. Examples include cinnamon/nutmeg/cloves, ginger, hot pepper, raisins. Spices/herbs used must be in balance and the flavor of apple cider must be present.
Appearance: Varies from cloudy to brilliant, pale to amber in color.
Mouthfeel: Body varies and may linger due to flavors added.
Overall Impression: Should be a moderately complex drink.
Apple Varieties: Typically culinary apples
Commercial Examples: Reverend Nat's Deliverance Ginger, Finnriver Forest Fir, 2 Towns Nice & Naughty
G. Wood/Oaked
Base cider type and wood used should be specified, including type of spirits barrel if applicable. Barrel aged, wood chips, spirals and cubes may be used. Non-oak wood should be noted on the entry form. Ciders must exhibit some flavors or aromas of wood aging.
Aroma/Flavor: The base cider type should be in balance with the wood flavors present. Wood flavors that overwhelm the base cider would be considered a fault. Non-saccharomyces flavors may be present but should be subtle ("smoky bacon" from MLF).
Appearance: Varies from cloudy to brilliant, pale to amber in color.
Mouthfeel: Body should linger and the underlying cider should contribute. Thin watery ciders with oak additions may not provide enough body.
Overall Impression: Wood and oak flavors should complement the original base cider instead of trying to provide flavor for a base cider without any. Flavors should be in balance but the cider may be somewhat challenging to drink.
Commercial Examples: Wandering Aengus Dry Oaked, Finnriver Fire Barrel
H. Fruit Ciders:
(Organizers will judge each of the subcategories separately if number of entries warrants. Subcategory division will be made solely at the discretion of the judges and competition organizers and made be done as late as the day of the judging. Please specify base cider type and fruit used. Entrants MUST specific one of the following subcategories.)
1. Pear cider
2. Cherry cider (pie or sweet cherries)
3. Stonefruit ciders (peaches, apricots, plums, mangos)
4. Canefruit ciders (raspberries, blackberries, marionberries, etc)
5. Other berries & fruits (blueberries, currants, cranberries, banana, orange etc)
Aroma/Flavor: Always fruity in flavor and aroma, but the ciders must remain cidery in nature as opposed to fruit-flavored alcohol.
Appearance: Typically colored due to fruit flavoring but not required. Varies from cloudy to brilliant.
Mouthfeel: Depending on the fruit added, the cider may be simple and quick or linger. Puckering and astringency from fruit may be present but should be pleasing and in line with expectations from the fruit. I.e. mango cider should not be astringent but cranberry should.
Overall Impression: The cider should generally be easily drinkable. Consumers should not have to hunt for the fruit flavor stated on the bottle but the taste of cider must be present.
Commercial Examples: Tieton Apricot, Blue Mountain Cranberry, Anthem Pear, Carlton Peachy Keen
I. Specialty Cider
Where no other category suits. Entrant notes are of utmost importance for ciders in this category.

Lab Training
Mike and I both have trained Retrievers for over 25 yrs. We began training Labrador Retrievers for our own use as hunting dogs. While Mike duck hunted in the rice fields of Texas, I was more interested in hunting Pheasants and needed a strong flushing and retrieving dog. I had seen labs point and acquired a yellow puppy from 2 pointing labs. He became an exceptional pheasant and duck dog, that I had the pleasure of hunting over for 5 years. That was in 1979 if I had only used my crystal ball I could have been on the ground floor of what has become a large part of our business here at K and L Kennels.

PHOENIX (AP) - Union and bus company officials say they've signed a temporary agreement that will keep Valley Metro buses in the Phoenix metropolitan area running until at least midnight July 30.
First Transit operates the buses and officials said Tuesday afternoon that negotiations on a contract will resume next week.
Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1433 represents about 400 bus drivers. Union officials credited Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton for temporarily avoiding a work stoppage that would have affected hundreds of workers and thousands of passengers.
A potential bus drivers' strike would have shut down nearly half of Valley Metro's routes primarily in Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert and into Phoenix and Scottsdale.
After negotiations unraveled over the past month, bus drivers voted overwhelmingly June 19 to authorize a strike. A federal mediator then intervened.

Good Mix of Planning and Spontaneity is Needed
February 20, 2014 by Asia is Green
Filed under Asia, Community, Government, Recent, Singapore
By Maxine Chen Li Shan
I like spontaneity. I enjoy it when people speak out of turn in daily conversations and create awkward pauses. I am considering pursuing a career in music solely because of its ability to interlock any number of strangers in a divine jam regardless of age, language or background.
In a group of friends, I am often the one advocating new activities to try out. I recall quite vividly the looks on my girlfriends' faces when I suggested we do the G-Max Reverse Bungy ride at Clarke Quay together (we eventually compromised by standing below the ride to catch vicarious thrills), and the oppressive gloom that materialised when I dragged another to a LAN centre and promptly ruined DOTA for him by asking incessant questions. To all my friends – I apologise. Read more
Singapore's PARKROYAL on Pickering: Hotel in a Garden
October 8, 2013 by Asia is Green
Filed under Asia, Buildings, Recent, Singapore
With the introduction of the Building and Construction Authority (BCA) Green Mark Scheme over the past few years, Singapore has seen an exuberant interest in green buildings. This growing interest has also spread to the hospitality sector, with more sustainable-themed hotels sprouting up in Singapore.
Singapore's latest green hotel, PARKROYAL on Pickering, opened this year at the heart of the Central Business District, between Hong Lim Park and Chinatown. Let's take a look at some of its green features.
The PARKROYAL on Pickering hotel management had sustainability in mind even before the hotel was built. They engaged local architectural firm WOHA to design the hotel based on a hotel-in-a-garden concept with over 15,000 square metres of four-storey tall sky-gardens, reflecting pools, waterfalls, planter terraces and cascading vertical greenery, amounting to twice its land area.
Nature-inspired materials and textures such as light and dark wood, pebbles, water, and glass are also used throughout the design of the hotel. Read more
Sharing the Idea of Collaborative Consumption
October 8, 2013 by Asia is Green
Filed under Asia, Business, Cities, Community, Featured, Recent, Singapore, Stuff
The idea of Collaborative Consumption is gaining traction throughout the world, and would be of great relevance to Asia as our consumption level rises.
Collaborative Consumption refers to sharing that is empowered by technology and social or peer-to-peer networks. It has the potential to change how we consume and the way businesses operate.
Sharing also covers renting, swapping, lending, trading, exchanging, bartering, and gifting. The advantages of sharing are that fewer resources are used to make and ship stuff, and less waste are generated and disposed.
The term Collaborative Consumption was first described in 2010 in the book What's Mine Is Yours: The Rise of Collaborative Consumption by Rachel Botsman and Roo Rogers. Other resources with similar ideas on sharing include the book The Mesh: Why the Future of Business is Sharing by Lisa Gansky and the Shareable website. Read more
Peer-to-Peer Renting in Singapore with Rent Tycoons
October 8, 2013 by Asia is Green
Filed under Asia, Business, Community, Featured, Recent, Singapore, Stuff
Rent Tycoons is the first company in Singapore to provide a peer-to-peer renting platform for individuals and businesses to rent items to/from each other.
Fenni Wang and Swito Yuber, Co-Founders of Rent Tycoons, shared more about their company in this interview:
1) Why did you start Rent Tycoons? Were you influenced by the concept of Collaborative Consumption or the Sharing Economy?
We believe that a majority of people own more things that they actually need and it is evident in each household – a number of useful items sitting around idle in the storage room, etc. In the long run, such items become a form of clutter that fills up the house or get discarded eventually. Our initial idea was to give life to those idling items and reduce wastage!
The concept of Collaborative Consumption/Sharing Economy definitely resonates with Rent Tycoons. It is evident in our corporate vision: Collaborative consumption is a way of building environmentally sustainable communities. Our mission is to help people make money, save money and be green effortlessly! Read more

iCarsClub is the first company in Singapore to provide a peer-to-peer car sharing scheme, where car owners can rent out their cars to drivers looking for temporary use of a car without having to own one.
Eddy Zhang, CEO and Co-Founder of iCarsClub, shared more about his company in this interview:
Why did you start iCarsClub? Were you influenced by the concept of Collaborative Consumption or the Sharing Economy?
Cars parked for days underutilized is both a waste of money and space. In addition to the land transport problem that Singapore currently faces, COE prices hitting the $90,000 mark means many car-owning dreams will be shattered.
We do want to make better use of the cars that are not on the road, saving our members money and doing our small bit to help the planet in the process. Furthermore, Singapore serves as a very good test bed for iCarsClub due to its strategic location and safe environment. Read more

CLC takes on Northland Saturday after win over Mesabi
When the Central Lakes Raiders look back at their 2012, they may look back at a team huddle before the start of the fifth and deciding game against Mesabi on Friday night.
"We were kind of silent for the first minute and a half, and then decided what we needed to do," said Haley Hornick. "Coach said that we needed to stop their outside hitter and that is what we did."

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
We're in a period of open recruitment right now, both to build a second Kara group and make the push to ZA, as well as lower-levels so our alts have more people to do SM and ZF with.
So yesterday, new recruit, who I'll call "Joe" comes on guild chat ...
"WTF! Where'd 1000g go??"
"What do you mean?"
"There was 1000g in the guild bank and now it's gone!"
"We bought the fourth bank tab"
"But I needed that gold to buy my flying mount!!"
Much laughter ensued, followed by Joe complaining about how he didn't even have access to the fourth tab (currently, new recruits can see, but not access, only the first tab, members can access the first two tabs, vets can access first three tabs, and the guild leader is the only one with access to the fourth tab).

It has been a fantastic couple years covering news, community information and events in the area, but this is my last week as local editor for Manassas Patch.
Patch, with the help of the Manassas community, has done some great things that I am extremely proud of and will take with me as I advance my career and spend more time with my family.
Manassas Patch launched in November 2010, and has continued to evolve ever since. I believe Patch has grown to be a wonderful asset to the community.
Starting Friday, Manassas Park Editor Jamie M. Rogers will be taking over the Manassas site. She's been here right with me covering the stories in the greater Manassas area, so she'll fit right in.
I hope you'll still turn to Manassas Patch for your source of news and information and continue to send Jamie (firstname.lastname@example.com) your helpful news tips for stories.
It's been my pleasure to cover this great city and many thanks for your continuing support. I could not have built this site to what it is today without you. I hope to see you around town soon at one of the many community events.
If you have any questions or concerns, please e-mail Associate Regional Editor for Prince William County Lauren Jost at firstname.lastname@example.com or Ms. Rogers.

I know a guy who only runs once a week and he does full marathons. I know he does not care about the racing part of it he just wants to finish the race. I think some runners can train that way so they can fully recover from one long run a week.
It would take me a long time to get up to that one long run a week for that to work. Plus you would not want to skip a week.
There was a guy in our club that supposedly trained 3 times per week; couple of short runs + 20 miler on the weekends and ran marathons in the 3:20 range. Of course, he was in his early 30's and had a 3:10 marathon on his resume' when he was loggng higher mileage. YMMV.
1st road race: Charleston Distance Run 15 Miler - 1974. - Voice
Update: I ran 3 times last week, and my slow long run was up to 15.5KM at 1:33:xx.
I am planning to do another 3 days of run week this week and increase my slow long run to 17KM. I will also do a race pace run and a tempo run on the other 2 run days. I will also continue to lift 2 times a week to complement my running.
After losing weight when I started running, I have eaten more and tweaked the nutrition bit, and have since gained back weight - from 68 Kilos, down to 61, and now back up to 63.
Just do whatever you are doing and tough it out on race day.
That's just stupid.
2014 Goal: I got nothing ......
Approaching 10 years of following these forums I can think of a number of reasons why. Not everyone that runs or frequents this forum enjoys running. This shouldn't be a shock really, running is hard, and while most any healthy child can run not many are inclined to keep running... for very long. The regulars on this forum and those that have been running for more than five years are the exception, not the rule.
I agree with Mike. Let's face it, most people hate running but want to check the half or full marathon box. I call it the "Oprah complex".
Sounds like a much better plan. Check on the ideal weight for your height and stay within the lower end of that range. Some half-M plans peak at 18k, and no more, but if your body is responding well, you could eventually try 21k but at low speed, maybe running the last one third at your target pace. Taper slowly to half total distance on the last 2-3 weeks but keep running for 3 days/week. Save the full effort for the actual race. Good luck!

This Company Wins the Battle Without Fighting
tarun is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Even as Apple and Samsung struggle to expand their market and get the better of each other, Qualcomm (NASDAQ: QCOM) is emerging victorious without much difficulty. It dominates the mobile chip manufacturer market, and has good potential to deliver for its investors. Let's see how.
Qualcomm's current position
Qualcomm's Q1 2013 performance was phenomenal. Earnings and revenue both rose nearly 30% compared to last year. Apple uses most of the chips designed by Qualcomm. Though Apple has left investors skeptical about its future returns, Qualcomm has outperformed. The unparalleled performance by the chip giant is due to its relationships to other tech companies such as Samsung, Nokia, and HTC.
The company owns a number of patents that provide it with a steady flow of revenue. This should improve further, as licensing revenue is expected to grow 17% in the current year. Qualcomm receives a handsome 5% of the price of handsets on all CDMA-enabled 3G devices and the 3G network is nowhere near its saturation point.
Last year, Qualcomm shipped 86% of the total 47 million LTE-capable chips, which shows its supremacy in the LTE market. The company receives around 3.2% of the price of a 4G LTE network-enabled device as its revenue. Currently, the amount of data traffic through 4G is only 1% of the total wireless traffic, but it is expected to grow tenfold in the next five years. That should give the company's top and bottom line a major shift upward.
Moreover, Qualcomm is sincerely dedicated towards mobile processors, with its chips powering Nokia's Lumia phones, BlackBerry's new BB10, and Samsung and HTC phones and tablets. Qualcomm's patents and processors perk up its position to benefit from future growth of 4G mobile, even as its 3G business still has a lot of potential as well.
The company has a clean balance sheet, with debt of only $60 million and a cash balance of $12 billion. Qualcomm without doubt is trading at a premium, with a P/E ratio over 18, while the industry P/E averages around 15 times. But that premium is well-supported, given that Qualcomm is operating at a net margin of 32%. Furthermore, its five-year annual revenue growth clocks in at 17%, and the company's sales are expected to grow by 25% in 2013.
Let's game it up
NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) has ruled the PC graphics and performance segment of the market, and it's now making tablets, smartphones, and handheld gaming its new focal point. Lately, Qualcomm has benefited from the rumors that its processor will be used in Google's next version of Nexus 7 tablet rather than NVIDIA's Tegra 3.
The actual picture still remains unclear, because if Google wants a single source, it can still depend on NVIDIA. NVIDIA's Tegra 4 is now attuned with 4G LTE, resolving the concern that would have been relevant last year, when it had not made its Icera basebands LTE-compatible. Moreover, the report claims that Google is eyeing the standalone APQ8064 chipset rather than LTE-integrated MSM8960. But it's a little difficult to believe that Google would choose an older Snapdragon above the most recent Tegra.
The rumors have definitely affected NVIDIA, but its recent quarterly results which were better than the analysts estimate, should relive the investors a little. Moreover, if the rumors are not true, there can be further upside. If the HPC market continues to grow and the "Tesla" HPC cards persist, it will boost the company's profitability.
The company is in a good position to benefit from the growing PC gaming market. NVIDIA's integrated Tegra 4, which is up to six times more powerful than Tegra 3 and LTE baseband compatible, should start delivering results in 2014. Currently a lot of uncertainty surrounds the company, but with the passage of time things should definitely move in its favor. I would just say, "Investors, be patient. NVIDIA should deliver in the long-run."
The new entrant
Broadcom (NASDAQ: BRCM) is the latest company to enter the LTE network, which is positioned to be available for use next year. Its LTE solution will be one-third the size of its rivals and will support all major technologies and standards. Further, the chip will offer a speed of up to 150 megabits per second. The company's chip is planned for flagship smartphones and tablets, which means it is targeting Apple's iPhone 5 and the 4G-enabled iPad, which currently operate on Qualcomm's LTE chips.
Broadcom's revenue has grown year-over-year and it has a very low debt-equity ratio of 0.23. Its net operating cash flow has increased to $621 million, and with a quick ratio of 2.09 it is fairly liquid. Broadcom currently trades a P/E of 27, with a forward P/E of 11 and PEG ratio of 0.81, signaling significant growth in the future. It is a good stock to diversify an investor's portfolio.
Final words
Qualcomm is clearly the best pick of the lot when compared to its peer for two reasons -- 1. Its revenue stream is more or less certain as it collects fees for its licenses and patents, and 2. It is the only player in the 4G LTE baseband processor market in 2013 as no other competitor will start commercial production before next year. Even when competition seeps into the 4G market, there is not much to be concerned about as the market is going to broaden with time.
Nvidia too is a good stock but its real picture would be clearer in the coming year if Tegra 4 starts delivering results. Broadcom is new in chip manufacturer industry but has strong fundamentals, and might turn out to be a good pick for investors

Weighing the Risk of CT Scans
Could getting a CT scan bring you more harm than good?
Dr. Nina Shapiro: An article in this week's Archives of Internal Medicine showed that getting a single CT (computed tomography) scan can tremendously increase the risk of cancer in the near and distant future. While this is a compelling article, we have to better understand how this information is being presented. This was a modeling study. The authors were likening the radiation exposure incurred by the atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II to that received during CT scans. A significant difference is that the atomic bombs released a sudden blast of radiation in an uncontrolled fashion to the entire population, to the entire body of each person.
While CT scans do emit a higher dose of radiation than conventional X-rays, they are performed in a controlled fashion. No study has actually shown that CT scans cause cancer. The model is an extrapolation from the information gleaned from these horrific atomic blasts. But the question remains: What do we do if our doctor orders a CT scan for us or our kids?
Certainly, as with any test being ordered, or any procedure to be performed: ask questions. Is this the best test to assess the problem? Are there alternative, less "invasive" options? And as with all issues in medicine and in life, for that matter, there is always a risk-benefit analysis: which is more risky -- the swine flu or the swine flu vaccine? A Cesarean section or a VBAC? Injury from an airbag or no airbag at all? But as with all technological advances in medicine that are later fraught with concerning data, we need to all step back and realize the benefits they have brought.
CT scans have saved thousands, if not millions, of lives. They have saved people from unnecessary trips to the operating room, and, conversely, have hastened the necessity for emergency surgery. They can detect MAJOR intracranial bleeding after seemingly minor head injuries, saving countless lives, and preventing permanent brain damage. They detect tiny brain tumors, lung cancers, and abdominal cancers, which may have been otherwise missed.
While I am alarmed and concerned about the data from this article, the nature of the work warrants more studies on the safety and efficacy of this type of radiation exposure.

She is an Associate Professor and Director of Pediatric Ear, Nose, and Throat at the Mattel Children's Hospital at UCLA. She has treated tens of thousands of children with ear problems, sleep problems, and breathing problems. She lives with her husband and two young children in Los Angeles.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) - Investigators say a woman jumped from a pickup truck on a Southern California freeway after the driver, her husband, splashed her with gasoline and set her ablaze.
California Highway Patrol Officer Sylvia Vargas says the 23-year-old woman is hospitalized at Riverside County Regional Medical Center and is expected to recover.
Riverside County district attorney's spokesman John Hall said Friday that 39-year-old Constantino Monterrosas Gamez is charged with attempted murder and other felonies. He's in jail with bail set at $1 million pending arraignment July 28.
The CHP says Gamez was driving a pickup on Interstate 15 in Corona last week when the couple began arguing. Investigators say Gamez doused her in gas while driving and used a lighter to set her on fire.
The woman then jumped from the moving pickup.

Eurotunnel vowed to fight an interim ruling by UK regulators against the move by the operator of the subsea rail tunnel between Britain and France into the shipping market between the two countries.
The Competition Commission said Eurotunnel's acquisition of three ships formerly owned by SeaFrance, a French ferry company that collapsed in early 2012, would " significantly increase" its "already high" 40 percent share of the cross-Channel market, one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.
The Commission claimed freight rates and passenger fares would rise, particularly if the extra capacity forced a ferry operator to quit the route. Its proposed remedies include the forced disposal of the three ships operated by Eurotunnel's MyFerry Link subsidiary.
"It would seem that Eurotunnel moved into the ferry business because it was concerned at the increased competition it would face if another operator bought the [SeaFrance] assets," said Alasdair Smith, the deputy chairman of the Competition Commission.
The UK regulator, which is due to make a final ruling in April, faces a showdown with its French counterpart which waved through Eurotunnel's 65 million euro ($87 million) acquisition of the three ships from SeaFrance, a unit of SNCF, France's state-owned railway.
The French authorities raised concerns, however, about the impact on the freight market and forbade Eurotunnel from cross-marketing cargo services on rail and ships for five years.
Eurotunnel, which outbid a subsidiary of Denmark's DFDS for the vessels, said MyFerryLink had increased competition and brought additional choice for customers.

The GOP's immigration problem
Old vaudeville joke:
Man goes to the doctor. Says he has a pain in his arm.
"Have you ever had this problem before?" the doctor says.
"Yes," the man answers.
"Well, you got it again."
Now look at the Republicans' immigration problem. Have they had this problem before? Yes. Well, they've got it again.
Republicans had an immigration problem nearly 100 years ago. A huge wave of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe – Poles, Hungarians, Italians, Jews – came to this country during the first two decades of the 20th century, before strict national quotas were imposed in 1924. These immigrants were largely Catholic and Jewish.
Republicans were the party of the white Anglo-Saxon Protestant establishment. The GOP did little to reach out to immigrants, except to try to "Americanize" them and "reform" them (the temperance movement).
Democrats then, as now, were the party of out-groups. The Democratic Party had a long history of accommodating immigrants, going back to the Irish in the 19th century. Municipal jobs (like policemen) were some of the only opportunities available to the Irish, and they were heavily recruited by big-city Democratic political machines that controlled patronage.

Romney opens ad offensive against Obama
Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney's first television commercial attacking Barack Obama's record hits the airwaves in New Hampshire on Tuesday -- just in time to welcome the president on a visit to the early primary state.
A discussion of jobs was on the agenda for Obama's quick trip to a high school in Manchester. But Romney didn't wait for the president's arrival.

Obama says biggest task left for him is to fix U.S. politics

There's energy policy, for example, which he would like to revamp. There's immigration reform, which he hopes to "implement."

Jon Huntsman is counting on right-of-center politics to give him an advantage in the race for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, despite polls showing him trailing far behind the favorites in a crowded field.
He says Democrat Barack Obama is too far to the left and the president's other Republican opponents are too far to the right.

Aide to rival calls California's Whitman a 'whore'
California's personal and unpleasant governor's race just took another step toward the bottom as a tape emerged in which an aide to Democrat Jerry Brown calls Republican Meg Whitman a "whore" for her attempts to get endorsements from law enforcement.
The Los Angeles Times was given the tape of an answering machine message from Brown to a law enforcement group. Brown apparently didn't hang up, and so a private conversation was captured on tape. The Times' blog is here, with the audio tape is at the bottom or here.

Fears rise over growing anti-Muslim feeling in U.S.
(Photo: An honor guard trumpeter plays during the ceremony on the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks in New York September 11, 2010/Chris Hondros)
Amid threats of Koran burning and a heated dispute over a planned Muslim cultural center in New York, Muslim leaders and rights activists warn of growing anti-Muslim feeling in America partly provoked for political reasons. "Many people now treat Muslims as 'the other' -- as something to vilify and to discriminate against," said Daniel Mach of the American Civil Liberties Union. And, he said, some people have exploited that fear in the media, "for political gain or cheap notoriety."
The imam leading the project to build the cultural center, including a prayer room, near the site of the September 11, 2001 attacks said there was a rise of what he called "Islamophobia" and the debate had been radicalized by extremists. "The radicals in the United States and the radicals in the Muslim world feed off each other. And to a certain extent, the attention that they've been able to get by the media has even aggravated the problem," Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf in an interview with ABC news aired on Sunday.
from Tales from the Trail:
Arizona law galvanizes U.S. Latinos
The swastika made of refried beans smeared onto the glass doors of the Arizona State Capitol this week captured the anger of Hispanics at the law authorizing local police to question anyone reasonably suspected of being in the United States illegally. The controvesial law, which critics say is a mandate for racial profiling, has galvanized the country's largest minority that is expected to turn out in large numbers at planned rallies in more than 70 U.S. cities.
Hispanics were disappointed that President Barack Obama failed to deliver on his campaign promise to overhaul the immigration system in his first year in office. The Pew Research Center says 76 percent of the estimated 11.9 million illegal immigrants in the United States are Hispanics. The Latino community sees the undocumented immigrants as contributing with their labor to the growth of the U.S. economy and deserve the right to be legal residents.

Peanuts: The Newest Pregnancy No-No?
Guest blogger Ronda Kaysen: The list of things pregnant women should avoid may be about to get longer. Yes, peanuts may soon make a reappearance on the no-no list. A new study suggests that pregnant women might need to back off eating the nuts if food allergies run in their families.
The study looked at babies aged 3 to 15 months and tested them for sensitivities to eggs, dairy and nuts. The more peanuts a new mom ate during her third trimester, the greater likelihood her baby would develop a sensitivity to one of the above. Since the study looked at kids in 2008, it's too soon to tell if those babies will develop a true allergy or not.
"Our study looked at sensitization, not peanut allergy," researcher Scott H. Sicherer, MD, of New York's Mount Sinai School of Medicine, told WebMD. "It is going to be a few years before we know whether these children really do develop true peanut allergies."
This isn't entirely new information. Researchers have long linked moms eating peanuts during pregnancy to kids having food allergies, but the research has always been weak. For a while, the American Academy of Pediatrics told moms to abstain from peanuts during the third trimester, but they backed off that suggestion in 2008 because the research was so thin.
Despite the recent findings, however, researchers aren't ready to definitively return nuts to the list of dangerous pregnancy food. "We simply don't have enough information to tell women they should or should not eat peanuts during pregnancy," said Sicherer.
In fact, some studies have pointed to just the opposite: that early exposure to allergens reduces the rate of allergies in kids. This tidbit of information brings to light a very important point: It's not always clear what we should do to protect our babies before they're born.
As a very pregnant mama, I find all this contradictory news distressing. Obviously I don't want to give my kids food allergies or cause them any other suffering because of my eating habits. But at the same time, I find the endless list of things to avoid overwhelming, frequently impractical and often contradictory. I know I shouldn't drink like a fish or smoke or take out the kitty litter. OK. Those seem like avoidable toxins. But then you start adding on the other ones .... "Fish is good for you, but not too much of the big fish. Avoid raw cheeses and deli meats and undercooked anything." And now nuts, too?
Nuts are tasty, nutritious and filling when you're very hungry and very pregnant. But as a person who grew up in a house with kids and grownups with food allergies, I know what a burden food allergies can be. Allergies are restrictive, exhausting and stressful. The last thing I'd want would be to bestow them on my kids.
Steering clear of peanuts for a few months seems like a reasonable thing to do. Unless, of course, early exposure is the way to go, and I should be doing just the opposite!

I do like the way you have presented this situation plus it really does give us some fodder for thought. However, because of just what I have experienced, I only trust when the comments pile on that folks stay on issue and not embark upon a soap box associated with some other news of the day. Anyway, thank you for this fantastic piece and while I can not agree with it in totality, I regard your standpoint.
With all the doggone snow we have gotten as of late I am stuck inside , fortunately there is the internet, thanks for giving me something to do. :)

Skye Terrier Rescue
What is Skye Terrier Rescue?
Skye Rescue is a volunteer, not for profit program whose purpose it is to help Skye Terriers who through no fault of their own are orphaned, abandoned or in need of re-homing. Most Skye who enter the rescue loop are rescued from shelters or humane associations. Other have been given up by owners who are unable or unwilling to continue to care for their Skyes.
What does Rescue do?
Skye Rescue rescues Skyes in distress. This program rescues and places approximately 20 Skyes each year. Once a Skye Terrier joins our rescue family, he is evaluated for temperament, personality, medical statue, and his specific needs. All Rescue Skyes are spayed or neutered prior to placement. All Rescue Skyes are current on vaccinations, screened for heartworm and treated if necessary, and deemed to be healthy prior to placement. Skye Rescue evaluates each Skye's individual needs to assess who they in order to make the best placement decision both for the Skye and the adoptive family.
Skye Rescue carefully screens, reviews rescue applications and interviews prospective adoptive families. It is the goal of Skye Rescue to best match the needs and personality of each rescue Skye with that of the prospective home. Our high rate of success is because of the care taken evaluating both the Rescue Skye, the applicants and then finding the best possible home for each Skye. It is Rescue's goal that each adoption result in a permanent home for these needy Skye Terriers.
What are Rescue Skyes like?
Skye Terriers are a medium sized dog with short legs. They stand approximately 10″ -13″ at the shoulder, whose body is approximately 20″ – 25″ long as measured from the keel bone ( point of chest) to the base of the tail, and weighs between 25 and 40 pounds. Skyes appear very low and long and should be two times as long as they are tall. Skyes are a long coated breed whose coat may hang to the floor. The coats on Rescue Skyes may be cut down or very short. Their coat color can be black, any shade of gray or cream with black ears. Sometimes their ear are gray rather than black. Skyes can have either prick ears (standing up) or drop ears (similar to spaniel ears). Most Rescue Skyes are adult dogs – young adults to senior citizens. Our is a long lived breed many living until 13 – 14 years of age.
Rescue Skyes have proven that Skyes are a very adaptable breed with a forgiving spirit. They are a uniquely wonderful, special and truly 'heavenly' breed. Skyes are very bright and pragmatic enough to understand that they have been to the pits and recognize gentle, patient, loving care, structure and support when offered. Skye Rescue has successfully re-homed or assisted over 150 Skyes in distress.
However, a Skye may not be the right dog for everyone. Skyes are a breed with an independent point of view. They do not accept dominance for the sake of dominance; owners must earn a Skye's respect, love and acceptance. We often say that folks who live with Skyes are owned by them. Skye Terriers are intelligent, sensitive but strong willed. Skyes can be stubborn and protective of their territory and their people. They may appear shy, fearful or perhaps even aggressive if in a stressful, unknown, unsuitable, cornered or unusual situation. Once these stressed Skyes are allowed to rehabilitate and are given time to heal, they make fabulous dogs to live with. They do not take kindly to harsh correction or criticism. Training of a Skye is most successful when approached as something positive and a fun activity to do together. As with most terriers, harsh correction or aggressive training will only make a Skye Terrier more aggressive.
Skye Terriers require regular grooming. They should be brushed weekly and bathed every two – three weeks.
What does it cost to adopt a Skye Terrier?
Adopting a Rescue Skye is an excellent way to own a pure bred Skye Terrier whose temperament, personality and medical statue have carefully been screened and matched to the needs and life style or the applicant. There is no mandatory adoption fee; we ask the adoptive family to reimburse us, if possible, for any shipping costs, if required to the new home. We also ask for a voluntary tax deductible donation to the Skye Terrier Foundation to allow us to continue to asset other Skyes in distress. Most of our funds come from the generosity of friends of our 'heavenly' Skyes who make it possible for Skye Rescue to continue its good works.
How can you help?
The success of Skye Terrier Rescue depends on each of us. We ask you to be our eyes and ears. We ask you to contact us immediately if you learn of a Skye Terrier who needs to be rescued, is in a Shelter or Humane Association facility or if you have you can no longer keep.

Wanted skye terrier
I would really be very interested to know how to go about adopting a skye terrier. My elderly mother was born and raised in Edinburgh, Scotland in the same neighbourhood as the Greyfrair's fountain and nearby cemetery. I still remember as a child that water poured from the base of the monument to satisfy the thirst of any passing four legged friend.
I would truly appreciate each and everyone's assistance in my pursuit.
Kind Regards,
Retired single gentleman with OLIVIA history in Skyes seeking new companion. Experience in training for agility.
I have had a f Skye terrier it was my
sons until he went to college and then
it was mine we all loved her for 13 years they are hard to find.. when we
were in Scotland a number of years ago
we saw the monument of skye there…
I have an intact male Skye who I need to rehome. He is 4 years old. He is uncomfortable and nervous around our toddler. Although very sweet and loving, as well as loyal and compliant, he has been unable to adjust to life with our little one. There have been no incidents of biting, just growls and bears his teeth when the baby gets too close. We do not want to give up on this dog, but believe it would serve him best to live with adults and older children. Contact me if this dog sounds like the right fit for you.
Live on a large lake .. big fenced in yard. I love the skyes. Would love if u can find me one.
My Skye guy has found his forever home! Thank you all for your interest and well wishes :)
Looking for a Skye terrier. Don't care about sex.
I've had a CairnTerrier and Westie. We live in East Tennessee & would love a Skye Terrier. We have 32 acres and a large fenced back yard and smaller fenced side yard. We have a 4 year old lab and a very nice cat…both inside animals.

waves' notes: Glad to see so many 'Kings win' predictions. Easily the most of any game so far with only 3 people (and one cereal character) picking the quacks. 5 more games with Pacific division teams. This is one of them. This is huge. Must kill, must cook, must eat. The only good duck is dead duck!
PREDICTIONS – Game 15 of 32
The Anaheim Ducks versus Your Los Angeles Kings
|I'm not convinced the recent 4 goal games were a sign of things to come.
|Ducks 2-1 R
|It's the dux 5th game in 7 days, 3rd in 4 days, off a back to back. There is no excuse for losing this game. The one concern is towards the end of the game, that the cheap shot dux don't injure anyone.
|Kings 4-2
|Matt Murray
|The Kings' offense is slowly coming around, finally catching up to their All-Star goaltender's stellar season. The Carter/Richards Connection will finally connect, and the power play will ignite. Could this be the start of their playoff push?
|Kings 3-0
|At the very least the Kings have to win the home end of this rivalry as the Ducks are becoming a very real threat for the #8 spot. The Kings will remember the end of last year and respond!
|Kings 3-1
|Periodically at this time of year I'm forced to hand off the tickets to my wife and leave town on business. Two years ago this resulted in the Kings beating the Quacks in my absence.
|Kings 3-2 R
|Forum Gold
|Kings win and move into a tie for 8th. Williams scores the game winner as the Kings faithful (including Forum Gold attending his first Duck game at Staples) go crazy. Carter scores 2 and is already a fan favorite. Were off to Nashville to change our tune.
|Kings 4-3 SO
|The Royal Half
|Depsite 4 goals from Jeff Carter… oh, wait… cool.. Jeff Carter scores 4 goals and the Kings win!
|Kings 4-0
|Reason because the Kings not known to get a winning streak.
|Ducks 3-2 R
|Jon Gillette
|The Ducks have been trying to scare us recently but it all came to an end against the Sabers. The Kings are going to put the finishing touches on the misery in Anaheim. And, 4-0… When the Kings roll, that appears to be HOW they roll.
|Kings 4-0
|I know it's not a rivalry that rivals a bitter playoff rivalry, but hey, it's a pretty exciting game nonetheless, right? It's shaping up to be a bad-blood type of game, and I certainly hope it lives up to the billing. With our own offensive threat to rival Perry, I'm looking at this to be the game where Carter makes his mark. Quick will be so rested and ready to put his team on his back if need be, but I don't think it will come to that. Still, it's a tough call considering what's on the line for both clubs. I just hope we pummel their top guys all night long. Carter with the chicken dinner.
|Kings 3-2 OT
|Meg Jarrell
|It will be the typical Kings-Ducks slugfest, but pride — and the playoffs are at stake.
|Kings 3-2 OT
|A tight playoff type physical game ensues, and I think the Kings win it in a overtime stunner. Rival time. Kings make a statement with the win, Carter nets his first as a King.
|Kings 3-2 OT
|[Dominick enjoys the changed system, up-tempo transition through the neutral zone and marvels at the solid fore-checking Kings in their home victory. ~waves]
|Kings 3-1
|Bobby Scribe
|Surly's birthday. They must win.
|Kings 5-3
|Both teams MUST win, but we're at home and we've sucked at home this year. This team MUST make a statement for the playoff push. This team MUST win its home games with so many left on the road. Do all these 'Musts' equal wins? Not exactly, but I'm expecting the extra effort to make it happen. One MUST that will happen: I MUST drink more beer to get through this season. Tequila optional (and welcome).
|Kings 3-2 R
|A riotous feeling in LA regardless of outcome.
|Kings 3-1
|Bottom 6 finally add some secondary scoring for the Kings.
|Kings 3-2
|Two words: Frosted Flakes.
|Ducks 5-1
|Kings rookie continue to be the difference both on the scoreboard and on the fight card. Jeff Carter comes alive and Brown does his thing. Willie Mitchell scored the GW goal…that what he does against the Ducks.
|Kings 4-3 OT
|Both teams are Kung Fu Pao fighting for points. I expect a lot 'o' chippiness, with the Kings landing the final blow in a shootout. Dustin Brown with the SO winner – bonus prediction!
|Kings 3-2 SO
|Because I suck at picking, I'm going with the ducks 4-2… GO KINGS GO!!!
|Ducks 4-2
|Kings 27 minutes in penalties, Ducks 35. Score?
|Kings 5-3
*Predictions are sorted by current standings. Bloggers are in bold and linked to their respective websites.
What is this about? Matt Murray from Life in Hockeywood proposed a Kings blogger prediction panel for the last 32 games of the season. Seven websites are represented on the panel and we simply predict the score of the game and give a reason why we believe it will turn out that way. Also invited are commenters from LA Kings Insider to compete against us!
Playing: Simply predict the score of the game and give a reason why you think it will go that way. I will email you before every game to get your predictions.
Scoring: A win gets you 2 points. Or a correct score gets you 3 points (exacta). Or a correct score (along with regulation, overtime or shootout correct) gets you 4 points (perfecta). Standings will be sorted by Points, Win/Loss, Plus/Minus, Exacta/Perfecta.
Playoffs: The Top 10 predictors in the standings at the end of the regular season will qualify for the esteemed Playoff Prediction Panel. You will be looked upon for guidance on blogs and admired all across the Kingdom. Trumpets will sound wherever you go. There's still loads of time to crack the Top 10.
Plus/Minus: Minus are only counted if you lose. Otherwise, the worst you can get is Even. If you lose, you get a -1 for every goal you're wrong in your prediction. Then one of the following… If you predict one correct score then you get a +1. If you predict the total number of goals in the game correct then you get a +1. If you predict the exact score then you get a +3. If you predict the exact score and ending (reg/ot/so) then you get a +4.
What do I win?: Not sure yet. The winner will get something though.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (UPI) — Crocodiles, generally thought of as slow swimmers and somewhat ungainly ground waddlers, are actually accomplished tree climbers, U.S. researchers say.
In the journal Herpetology News, Vladimir Dinets of the University of Tennessee at Knoxville and his colleagues have reported the results of their study of the reptiles' tree-climbing and tree-basking behavior.
Observation of crocodile species on three continents — Australia, Africa and North America — revealed four species climbed trees, usually above water, but how far they ventured upward and outward varied by their sizes, the researchers said.
Smaller crocodiles were able to climb higher and further out than the larger ones, they said; some species were observed climbing as far as 13 feet high in a tree and 16 feet out on a branch.
"Climbing a steep hill or steep branch is mechanically similar, assuming the branch is wide enough to walk on," the researchers reported. "Still, the ability to climb vertically is a measure of crocodiles' spectacular agility on land."
Tree climbing and basking are believed to be driven by two conditions, they said: thermoregulation and surveillance of habitat.
"The most frequent observations of tree-basking were in areas where there were few places to bask on the ground, implying that the individuals needed alternatives for regulating their body temperature," they said. "Likewise, their wary nature suggests that climbing leads to improved site surveillance of potential threats and prey."

We sort of already resent ourselves for posting on this. Needless to say, we are, and as a result we've got mixed emotions. That said, what makes Han Solo so attractive when he is encased in Carbonite? It's a question we've long pondered. To make matters more complicated, he is now frozen in "gourmet" dark chocolate.
So why would you get this? Not for yourself. It's definitely a stocking stuffer or gag gift for any Star Wars fan, big or small. Before you buy, though, keep in mind it's damn expensive for a chocolate bar – probably a reflection of licensing costs to Lucas. Doesn't the man already have enough money?
If you wanna spend your money a bit more effectively you could always opt for the Han Solo USB Flash Drive with the Carbonite case.

Meatball Parmesan Sub
Serving size: 1 sandwich View Nutrition Facts
- 12 pre-cooked turkey meatballs (such as Shadybrook Farms)
- 1 cup good quality marinara sauce (such as Raos)
- 4 ounces mozzarella, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 4 hoagie rolls, cut in half horizontally
1. Preheat the broiler on high.
2. Coat a pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs, turning occasionally until they're brown and caramelized all over, about 10 minutes. Add in marinara sauce and turn the heat down to medium-low. Cook for an additional 4 minutes.
3. To make sandwiches, add 3 meatballs to each of the 4 rolls, pouring remaining marinara sauce evenly over the top of each sandwich. Cover with 1/4 of the parmesan and 1/4 of the mozzarella. Wrap the bottom of the sandwich in tin foil to stabilize, then broil, meatball side up, until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 3 minutes.
- These sandwiches are great made in advance. Just wrap the whole thing in tinfoil and when you're ready to eat, reheat in a 350 oven until warm.
Do not use ready made meatballs. Make your own.4/17/2014 10:42:54 AM Report Abuse
How is browning meatballs in a frying pan a secret? This is the well known Maillard Reaction and is no secret. Cooking meat is why it tastes better and attaining the brown crust is always the way to go for meatballs.4/17/2014 10:40:37 AM Report Abuse
