Fired Recruiter in Custody After 2 Shot at Navy Base
(NEWSER) – Two people have been shot at a Navy base in Millington, Tennessee. WMC-TV in Memphis reports that a suspect is in custody and that the victims are expected to survive. The station says the suspect is a member of the National Guard, and the AP calls him a Navy recruiter who had been fired earlier in the day. Authorities say he used a handgun. The Memphis Commercial Appeal adds that the official name of the facility is Naval Support Activity Mid-South, which has 8,000 mostly military employees. A loudspeaker warned everyone to "shelter in place" about 12:45pm.

The national attention that the Kelley Williams-Bolar case is getting is missing a basic fact that our newspaper has reported more than once:
Williams-Bolar has said she enrolled her daughters in Copley-Fairlawn schools because she was concerned about the safey of her West Akron neighborhood, not because she was unsatisfied with Akron Public Schools. ABJ courts reporter Ed Meyer has reported this more than once in his coverage, including this section where William-Bolars' attorney Kerry O'Brien explains her concerns in court:

Wired Science laments a recent survey of public high school biology teachers that finds few strong advocates for evolution, the cornerstone of modern biology and medicine.
Such teachers ''may play a far more important role in hindering scientific literacy in the United States than the smaller number of explicit creationists,'' wrote Penn State political scientists Michael Berkman and Eric Plutzer, the poll's architects, in a Jan. 28 Science paper.To read more or comment...

At the risk of posting some "no duh" research, this long-term study of 1000 New Zealand children in a ScienceDaily article confirms what many a kindergarten teacher has suspected: the kid who can't control his impulse to stab his neighbor with the scissors probably will find himself in court early and often as an adult.
Two Duke University psychologists led the international team, which found that children as young as age three who scored low on tests measuring impulse control were more likely to have problems with health, finance, drug addiction and criminal behavior by age 32.

Jonah Lehrer writing in the Wall Street Journal talks about a study of twins showing that parental actions and choices have more of an influence on a child's early intelligence than genetic factors in poor families. As you move up the socioeconomic ladder, the reverse is true: genetic factors have more of an influence. Twins were studied at age 10 months and again at two years, long before they show up in kindergarten.
The opposite pattern appeared in 2-year-olds from wealthy households. For these kids, genetics primarily determined performance, accounting for nearly 50% of all variation in mental ability. (The scientists made this conclusion based on the fact that identical twins performed much more similarly than fraternal twins.) The home environment was a distant second. For parents, the correlation appears to be clear: As wealth increases, the choices of adults play a much smaller role in determining the mental ability of their children.To read more or comment...

BATH TOWNSHIP: The Revere school board has decided to go ahead and place two identical issues on separate ballots.To read more or comment...
The Columbus Dispatch reports that a Republican-sponsored bill would elminate the mandate for all schools to offer free all-day kindergarten. Many districts have been putting off this requirement in the former governor's evidence-based model for school funding by seeking one-year waivers. This bill, if passed, would eliminate the mandate and allow districts that charge tuition for full day kindergarten to continue charging.
The bill's sponsor, Rep. Randy Gardner, R-Bowling Green, said he hopes the legislation to undo much of former Gov. Ted Strickland's evidence-based model will "send a strong message from Columbus that there is mandate relief and cost savings on the way as (district officials) plan for the next school year."To read more or comment...

Science Daily reports on new research about how babies learn language. Babies, even those too young to talk, use the same brain structures adults do to learn words, contrary to the idea that learning begins primatively and evolves into the mechanisms and processes adults use.
The Frontal Cortex blog at Wired has an interesting post about a psychology experiment in an Ohio school district that showed that making fonts slightly harder to read in a variety of classes improved long term learning and retention. The basic idea, called disfluency, is that the harder the brain works to grasp something, the more deeply it's ingrained and the easier it is to retrieve later. Changing the font a little in this experiment added that little extra bit of challenge that made the learning more memorable. The authors of the study, published in Cognition, say the trick to choosing the best font is to find the line between more-difficult-to-read and illegible.
Cognitive psychologist and neuroscientist Daniel Willingham offers, via the Washington Post's education blog, The Answer Sheet, three brain facts every educator should know:

When I interviewed a primatologist and a cognitive neuroscientist for a story I did last month about bullying and empathy, we discussed what scientists call a "theory of mind" -- the understanding that someone else has different thoughts and emotions than our own, a key component of empathy.
One of the classic tests for theory of mind is the "Sally Anne test" in which a child is shown a scene with two dolls or puppets, Sally and Anne. A toy is placed inside a basket in the room with both Sally and Anne present. When Sally leaves the room, Anne moves the toy to another box. When Sally returns to the room, where will she look for the toy? Children who don't grasp theory of mind yet will assume Sally has the same information they do and will look for the toy in the new location where Anne moved it. Children who pass the test understand that Sally still thinks the toy is in the basket where she left it and will look for it there, thus taking Sally's perspective.To read more or comment...

To get a change of pace from my normal push ups, sit ups and treadmill routine, I thought it would be a nice change of pace to go back to free weights 2 to 3 times a week or use a few high tech cardio machines (elliptical machines, rowing machines, etc.). So I popped into my local gym to get a quick price quote.
Once I saw the prices, my frugal living complex quickly kicked in and convinced me to keep doing push ups in the garage. Gym membership fees were on a "limited time only price" of $34 per month for full gym access. Of course, the perks cost extra: personal trainers, yoga classes, locker room access, etc., were only available via a la carte pricing and were not included in the monthly gym membership fee.
Being something of a YouTube junkie, I had already convinced myself I could find dozens of creative workout routines for free before I even hit the parking lot. So instead of adding another monthly expense to the budget, I decided to save the extra $34 per month ($408 per year) expense and look for free workout routines on YouTube.
If you have run into the same dilemma and you're looking for a few easy workouts you can do at home in your spare time, here are a few excellent workouts and strength training routines for beginning and advanced levels that I found within minutes of doing a simple search. You'll also notice that none of these workouts requires any type of equipment or fancy gadgets… just you, your time and some sweat equity!
The burpee (also called squat thrusts) is one of the most basic, yet most efficient, total body exercises you can do. It may look like an exercise to build upper body strength, but don't let the push up motion fool you because you're legs will probably start give out long before your arms do.
It's an excellent way to quickly get your heart rate up, boost your metabolism and get a total body workout with minimal time invested. Start with 10 to 20 repetitions for each set and increase the number of reps as your endurance allows.
This is only one individual exercise, but many more combinations can be found at GymJunkies.com.
If you're looking for something a little more diversified or maybe targets a few more muscle groups, here are a few combinations of simple exercises (no need for equipment) designed to raise your heart rate and increase your stamina.
You can go as "advanced" on this sort of workout as you want by simply adding in new exercises, raising the number of sets you do, or by simply increasing the length of time you do each exercise (90 second intervals versus 30 second intervals are far more difficult than it sounds).
If you're new to working out or you're just trying to tone up, your body weight should provide more than enough resistance. A daily regime of simple push ups, squats, and lunges (with varying degrees of difficulty) can get you nicely toned or help you build enough physical strength to move on to more strenuous workouts.
I thought I was in pretty good shape considering I do 100 to 150 knuckle push ups and 100 burpees everyday. Wrong!
This 10 different push up by 10 reps by 10 second recovery time workout had me winded by set #5, and severely winded by set #8. Embarrassingly, I honestly had to pause the video after set #8 and give myself a 60 second break.
If you're looking for an interval/circuit training workout that emphasizes building strength but also boosts your cardio fitness, interval training workouts like these are excellent starting points and lots of users have posted them for you to learn from free of charge.
I've never been much of a yoga person because I've always thought most basic yoga techniques are less strenuous than my old football stretching and warm up drills, but if you're into the stretching, flexibility and getting tone thing, then yoga is something you should consider. Plus, it never hurts to try something new or add some variety to your workout program.
Hot yoga (also called Bikram Yoga, heat yoga, or sweat yoga) is a unique way of taking differing levels of yoga techniques and cranking up the intensity. I've taken a few of these classes in my younger years, and it's definitely not something you should try if you can't do the basic strength poses, may be claustrophobic (my classes were packed in like sheep), or might not have the mental endurance to tolerate 3o to 90 minutes of 105 °F degree heat.
I included this video because the narrating yoga instructor gives specific instructions how you can replicate a hot yoga studio environment (within reason) by using a space heater, multiple layers of clothes or doing a prior cardio workout like those listed above. If you haven't done this at least once in your life, you're missing out!
No workout is complete without including a few basic core exercises, so it's important to include a few sets of basic crunches or sit ups into your workout routine. Every personal trainer that I've spoken to over the years believes that strong abs takes stress off your lower back, so a few extra minutes a day is worth the bad back insurance policy.
If you're looking for something a bit more hardcore or perhaps you want to take a shot at developing those hard to get 6 pack abs, you need a fairly tough ab workout routine. This video will definitely put you on the right path because it's a tough, well rounded routine. Plus, the guy has the abs to prove that his program works.
Not sure about his diet plan, though, if you're specific goal is to get six pack abs. Free runners burn a lot of calories and I'm not sure as many people burn as many as he would. Although a French fries and ice diet does sound appealing!
Will a home workout program equal or better a monthly gym membership? It's debatable. It all depends on how much effort and time you're willing to put into it.
Many of the "gym rats" that I know do a few benchpresses, a few bicep curls, and oogle the spandex clad ladies taking the kickboxing classes. Not to mention, they usually go 3 to 4 days a week and spend most of their time chatting far too long in between sets, so they probably aren't getting the best bang for their buck. Of course, one could argue that going to the gym is as much of a social event as it is a place to work out, so getting a good workout may not be their prime objective.
One thing is for certain: the combination of 100 push ups, 230 sit ups and 100 burpees workout routine I completed yesterday definitely had me huffing and puffing just as hard — or harder — had I agreed to pay $34 per month for the gym membership.
In the end, isn't that what matters most?
It depends on your workout. I go to the gym 4-5 days a week and do weight lifting so it makes sense for me. For those who want simple and effective exercises, stick to online videos. There are good ones out there for free. I have done some abs ones myself and liked them.
.-= Craig´s last blog ..Huge Giveaway at Money Crashers with $4367+ in Prizes =-.
Excellent point. If you're trying to build muscle mass beyond what an elevated push up can do, hitting the iron is definitely the way to go.
I would definitely say it depends on your methods. I've seen a LOT of people with the wrong form when using weights and weight machines. This can lead to a lot of problems and/or not working the muscles as effectively (if at all).
So I would consider at least getting a personal trainer to learn the basics, if a weight regime is what you're after. That said, all PTs aren't created equal. Most have minimal training. APEX, for example, is a couple of classes and a test. But it's one of the main qualifications you'll see on a lot of trainers' resumes.
Look for someone who actually went to school for this stuff, preferably sports medicine, physiology or kinesiology.
I pshaw-ed trainers for awhile, but lucked into a great one who works with special populations. Since I have chronic fatigue, his help was invaluable. I wouldn't have trusted most trainers to know my limits. But he always knew exactly when to push me a little bit more and when to stop. I never experienced a setback (which can land someone with CFS indoors for days at a time).
But for the average gym-goer, yeah I would say get a couple of training sessions (most gyms offer a freebie to induce you to get more) to get your form down. Then you can train at home.
.-= Abigail´s last blog ..Sanity savers I: Rewards Programs =-.
Absolutely. If you're an experienced gym rat (I started at 16), or you've attended a few specialty classes (yoga, kickboxing, etc) then it should definitely be okay to go solo.
If you have special needs (BTW sorry about your condition), or if you require that gym atmosphere to get pumped it, the gym is definitely the best alternative. I've also known a few people who like to show off as well! haha!!!
Motivation is key from my experience, and for whatever reason, the most demotivating factor of going to the gym is the effort it takes me to get there. Driving 20 minutes is so demotivating that I would never go, and end up not working out at all or just doing some push ups with my feet on the stairwell. Guess I get hung up on the productivity or efficiency metrics when it comes to my time.
Thanks for commenting!
I guess it would depend on your age, and if you already own Wii, but Biggest Loser on Wii w/the balance board is one hell of a work out! Granted the game and the balance board was a gift.
.-= Evan´s last blog ..I Have No Idea about Credit Card Rewards =-.
@ Evan,
I really didn't even consider using the Nintendo Wii in the post, so I appreciate you bringing a fairly new exercise medium to the discussion.
When I was a kid, Nintendo unveiled a Track and Field video game where the user had to run in place. By the end of several heats, your heart was racing pretty fast. But I'm guessing the technology has improved somewhat and users get a better experience.
I'm curious, though, what workouts can you do on the Nintendo Wii that might be a pseudo-replacement for a real life gym? Just basic cardio with step workouts or something more complex?
Videos from Youtube are good. But sometimes we have specific questions that need answers, and so it is also good to have a responsive trainer. :-)
.-= Walter´s last blog ..Words are never enough =-.
Good point. I'm sure the many of the video authors/blog owners would be willing to answer your questions, but nothing beats immediate feedback when you're having difficulty. Plus, the words of encouragement (or tough love) would help also if you're doing a good job (or slacking).
And in addition to the freebies on YouTube, heading to the great outdoors for walking, jogging, biking or roller blading is also free!
The gyms by me have been lowering their prices to $10-$15 month, unlimited visits. It seems John and Jane Q. Public have figured out that they have a few options!
But these YouTube videos definately can supplement other efforts.
.-= Kevin@OutOfYourRut´s last blog ..Save a Bundle By Repairing Your Eyeglasses =-.
Excellent point and thanks for making it. I have a treadmill myself, and even though I put about 10 miles a week on it, nothing beats a good hike through the woods in the Spring and Fall seasons.
I do the same thing for simple body weight exercises at home. I actually used quite a few of those Ab videos.
.-= Derek´s last blog ..$50 of Target Gift Cards Giveaway =-.
Thanks for commenting Derek. I probably screened 20 different ab exercise videos and barely scratched the surface. Really seems like you can find anything you're looking for if you're willing to do the screening.
Doesn't replace the personal trainer or gym experience, but then again, neither do all of those late night workout videos.
This is a great post. From time to time I have used youtube for this various thing. Especially when I am trying to research something like the crossfit exercise of the day, or when a friend suggests a new exercise to me, but isn't around to show me, youtube works perfectly.
Thanks Mike! My problem is that I get bored fairly easily, so if I can find something new to challenge me or a creative way to do liven up the standard push ups and sit ups routine… I'm all for it!
I agree. Numerous times I have joined gym's only to find I lose motivation after a couple of months. I haven't looked on YouTube before but sounds like a great idea. What I have been doing is cardio on my own and I also use a product I found called Jym (www.jym.me). It allows me to keep track of my strength progress and I can even use it to target the muscles i want to work on. Much cheaper than gyms and PT's and I workout when I want. Might try adding some YouTube workouts so i stick at it. Thanks
Following my habit of being a gym meathead in high school and college I can't imagine life without the gym… it's where I find my inner zen! As I'm squatting, benching, an dead lifting surrounded by big sweaty dudes.
I think for that most people this post is a great idea, but for me I'm headed back to the gym.
Great compilation of videos… The 3rd one in particular was fun to watch ;)
Yeah, you definitely can't replicate the squat rack or the sound of iron hitting the floor after a set deadlifts without being in the gym, so that's definitely a negative to this idea.
It's really more for anyone who gives an excuse that the gym is too expensive, they're too busy to workout, or don't want to waste 20 minutes driving to the gym.
(FYI: I think I'm all three!)
Being a former gym rat as well – high school and college mainly – nothing comes close to replicating what The Iron can do. But somehow, the realism of waiting 20 minutes for a spot at the bench press only to be hurried through my 3 sets made me seek alternatives. So lots of elevated push ups, sit ups and burpees, and I'm done in 20 minutes.
But yeah, the 3rd video was eye catching to say the least. Another reason that working out at home can't beat the gym… the patrons!

The Backstreet Boys reveal their most embarrassing performance
Listen to The Backstreet Boys on iHeartRadio
The Backstreet Boys returned home to Central Florida for a concert, but first they stopped by Mix 100.7 in Tampa for a special performance & to celebrate Howie's birthday.
The guys talked about their most embarrassing performance. "It was in Miami, " Howie went on to say it was a "foam party" and a wet t-shirt contest. When they went out on stage to perform the guys in front of the stage were expecting the contest, not the Backstreet Boys.
Howie, Nick, AJ, Brian and Kevin performed "Madeleine", "In A World Like This" among others, and answered fan questions. When a fan asked what their favorite Backstreet Boys song of all time was, Nick jokingly answered, "That's What Makes You Beautiful," giving a nod to One Direction.
Watch them talk about the coolest thing a fan has ever done for them, and wanting to perform in front of the pyramids in Egypt. AJ even admitted to using mascara back in the day to paint on his beard below!

Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines
Be your own barista! Semi-automatic espresso machines offer just the right amount of control over how your espresso is made at home. While they may look different, the basic functionality of a semi-automatic espresso machine includes a boiler, a portafilter and a switch or lever to perform the extraction. You'll still grind and tamp your espresso (or insert an espresso pod), start the extraction and then steam or froth your milk as necessary. Semi-automatic espresso machines fall into two different types:
- Manual Control: On these semi-automatic espresso machines, the shot is initiated and you stop it once you decide the extraction is complete, usually in 20-30 seconds. This offers real-time control over the length of your extractions
- Programmable Doses: These semi-automatic espresso machines allow you to program the extraction to stop after a specific amount of time.

Obama Administration Skips First Senate Hearing on Gitmo in Five Years
There was no shortage of outrage at Wednesday's Senate hearing on closing the detention facility at Guantánamo Bay. Both critics and supporters of the prison repeated well-rehearsed arguments about why keeping it open—or shutting it down—would harm the national security and American interests more broadly. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL), who chaired the Judiciary Committee panel, argued that "every day it remains open, Guantánamo prison weakens our alliances, inspires our enemies, and calls into question our commitment to human rights." Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) countered that shuttering the facility would endanger the lives of Americans. "Until we are presented with a good, viable strategy for what to do with terrorists who would work night and day to murder innocent Americans," Cruz said, "I have a hard time seeing how it is responsible to shut down our detention facilities and send these individuals home, where they would almost surely be released and almost surely would return to threaten and kill more Americans."
Over the course of the nearly two-hour hearing, the first held in the Senate in five years, senators and witnesses raised plenty of other well-worn arguments. Guantánamo critics pointed to the high cost of keeping detainees incarcerated at the facility—$2.7 million a year per detainee. A former Bush administration Defense Department official argued that transferring detainees to U.S. prisons would allow them to spread their brand of "radical sharia," or Islamic law, to the homeland.
What the hearing did not address—at all—were the practical steps that could be taken to follow through on President Obama's renewed promise to shutter Guantánamo. And it was notable that no member of the Obama administration, which is largely responsible for developing a plan of action, testified at the hearing. (A Durbin aide said the administration was invited but declined to send a witness.)
Maintaining a low profile for the moment likely reflects a desire to duck some tough questions. Chief among them is whether the administration plans to use its existing authority to start transferring detainees out of Guantánamo. Of the 166 prisoners who remain in the camp, 86 have been cleared for release. And while Congress repeatedly has imposed onerous restrictions on repatriating or moving detainees to third countries, more recently it has provided waivers for the administration to bypass those limitations. Originally, Congress required certification from the secretary of defense that prisoners transferred out of Guantánamo would not engage in any future terrorist activity, an almost impossible standard to meet. Now that requirement can be waived so long as the receiving country can "substantially mitigate" the risk that the detainee will return to terrorism, a lower threshold.
The administration so far has not invoked its waiver authority to transfer detainees. But in the wake of Obama's revived initiative to close Guantánamo, opponents of keeping the facility open have urged the administration to do so. in a new report, "Guantanamo: A Comprehensive Exit Strategy," Human Rights First calls on the administration to "certify transfers and issue national security waivers to the fullest extent possible." And there were signs that at least some in the administration were listening. Officials at the State Department and Justice Department are said to be in favor of a plan to begin transferring a small number of detainees using national security waivers. To start, it would likely involve detainees from countries, including Morocco and Algeria, that have demonstrated an ability to safely integrate terror detainees. In reality, it would take the White House to direct the secretary of defense to issue the waivers and begin the transfers.

This is the device that mounts to a bicycle's seat post and projects two 5-milliwatt red lasers onto the ground, generating a virtual bicycle lane. Providing motorists with a visual indicator of a cyclist's riding width, it is ideal for increasing the safety margin around a cyclist during pre-dawn or dusk rides. Visible under headlights and streetlights from over a mile away, the 6'-long lane begins mid-cycle at the seat post and extends behind. An additional five red LEDs increase visibility as a standard blinking taillight.

Well worth the Purchase
By Bobby
from Maywood, CA
I use the light every night going home from work. the only flaw I see is that it only mounts to the Seat post. If the mount was adjustable I could mount it to the frame under the seat. I had to remove my U-lock whichs doubles as my rack to put the light on. The bracket for my lock sits in the same spot the Light is in now. It was either have the light for safety at night or the lock. The light won. I just have to figure out where to put the lock. I basically bought the light to have the laser beam lanes. not the light I already have a bright tail light. Thats why if this light had an Adjustable mount I could put it on the frame under the seat and still have use of my lock rack. I have told everyone I know that rides a bicycle about this light and shown them mine. They asked me where to get one, I gave them all a print out of the Lght off the website so they have the Item # and website where to get it. They all want one. My bike is my car I don't drive. besides this light I have a 250 Lumen headlight and a taillight that can be seen from 2 miles away. This laser Beam Lane will be used well. Hopefully if I ever do need to replace it you will still carry it, or an updated verion with the Adjustable Mount.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

VERY bright rear light
By suburban family bikers
from okc
Bought four more (have on five different bikes) after trying out. We use these during early morning cycling in medium traffic (two lane each way, room for cars to use other lane without slowing them down)--The cars respond much better than before we had them. The bike lane light and the rear with it's many configurations adjust to the changing light conditions of early morning, dawn and sunrise. They are also always on during any trip. It came with batteries and is still doing well. So far we have ridden six times of three hours (probably more) each using the different modes. ON full/flash, the light attracts attention even in broad daylight.

Very Noticeable
By Charmaine, The Biker Chick
from Washington, D.C.
I used this light when biking back from seeing the July 4 fireworks in DC. Many people and cyclists commented to me how cool the laser light lanes were. I was in limited traffic, so I don't know reaction of drivers.

By Nighthawk779

Well it mounts easy and is very visible. I have not used the other phases besides the steady light. I am not sure whether they are legal in Missouri

Great Safety Device!
By Karen
from Seattle, WA
Gave this to our two extremely avid bikers in the family and they love it. Light projects well and great at night! Highly recommend to help keep bikers safer while riding on the road.
nice light
By Grandma
from Franklin, IN
I bought this for my son who cycles to work weather permitting. He said it was easy to install. He likes the brightness of the led lights. He also likes the big light that can be put on steady light or flashing. He doesn't ride in the dark very much but the lane lights do help on the pre-dawn mornings. He thinks a night rider would benefit from the lane lights.
I feel safe.
By Mom
from Cleveland OH
Makes me more visible to motorists at night. Worked with my saddle bags. It's fun.

Grand Ole Opry hosting Breast Cancer awareness show
Listen to LeAnn Rimes on iHeartRadio
LeAnn Rimes is helping the Grand Ole Opry shed light on breast cancer awareness. The country star will play a key role in the Opry's fifth annual "Opry Goes Pink" show Tuesday night.
She's been tapped to flick the switch to bathe the Opry's barn backdrop in a pink light to highlight the cause.
Along with promoting greater awareness of the disease, the show will also celebrate breast cancer survivors.
And the audience won't just be seeing a special concert, but they'll be supporting the cause. The Opry is giving five dollars from every ticket sold to "Women Rock For The Cure."
Performers for the "Opry Goes Pink" show include Lorrie Morgan, Pam Tillis, and Jeannie Seely, while Natalie Grant and Mandisa will be making their Opry debuts.

About South AfricaView a map of South Africa wineries South Africa
Shop our most popular wine from South Africa
Shop our top rated wine from South Africa
A long history of growing grapes and making wine, but less of a history on exporting it, and even lesser on the quality aspect. At the turn of the century (1900, that is), a surplus of wine in South Africa created a hierarchy of cooperatives, the biggest and best known being KWV. This organization seemed to favor quantity over quality and had most control over wines and vineyards until the late 1980's. Now, with a bit more competition, quality is coming around. Yet, South African wine was not even seen in American wine stores until the mid-1990's – the trade embargo on the country for their racial apartheid laws kept South African wine out of the US. When apartheid fell, so did the embargo, and SA bottles began showing up on US shelves.
Notable Facts
White wine has always been the cash crop of South Africa, with much of it distilled to make brandy. More white than red is planted, much of it the Steen variety – known elsewhere in the world as Chenin Blanc. Good producers are making top quality dry wines from this grape. Another grape gaining some raves is Sauvignon Blanc, producing whites that are dry and crisp, yet rounder than many of its Southern Hemisphere counterparts. For reds, the top grapes are Syrah/Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon (& blends) and Pinotage. Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux blends was once the favorite and most-produced, but Shiraz is taking over as wineries crank out high quality wines from the variety. Pinotage, which used to be a grape only your mother could love, has improved dramatically and is often as delicious as it is distinctive. The most popular regions of the country include Stellenbosch and Paarl.

Hey Baby - Gwen Stefani is expecting another boy!
Listen to No Doubt on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Gwen Stefani may be seriously outnumbered, but she's still the queen of her castle.
The 44-year-old singer announced on Instagram Friday that she and her husband, Gavin Rossdale, are expecting another boy.
"I was ready to hand over the crown. but I guess I am still queen of the house. #itsaboy #surroundedbyboys," she wrote.
Gwen and Gavin, who have remained mum on the pregnancy up until now, are already parents to sons Kingston, 7, and Zuma, 5. Rossdale, 48, also has a 24-year-old daughter, model Daisy Lowe, from a previous relationship.
Though we must admit we were a tad excited at the prospect of seeing the No Doubt frontwoman dress up a little girl, we're sure Gwen's new bundle of joy will have a rockin' style all his own much like his big brothers.

Why nurses should be able to practice without doctors
I have worked with nurse practitioners (NPs) ever since I graduated from medical school: during residency, when I did an additional fellowship, and at both my previous and current practices. These experiences have included caring for very premature infants, treating children with cancer, managing the reproductive health of adolescents, as well as primary-care pediatrics. On a few occasions I've had to transfer an ill child to another facility, and sometimes the medical provider who arrived with the ambulance to assume care was an NP. I was always grateful when they got there.
With an exception or two, these NPs have been wonderful to work with. (Show me a profession that doesn't have a few sub-par members. Lord knows I can list plenty of clunker physicians.) I have the utmost respect for them as colleagues, and value the work they do immensely. When I have a patient with a weird rash I want someone else to look at, or when I feel like running a treatment plan I've put in place by another person, I am as apt to grab one of the NPs in my office as a physician.
It has been projected that tens of thousands of additional primary-care physicianswill be needed to meet the nation's health-care demands within a little more than a decade. While increasing the number of residency slots has been proposed as one solution to this problem, allowing NPs to practice with minimal restriction is another possible option. Though many states permit NPs to practice without physician supervision, the majority—including the state where I practice—put some kind of restriction on the care NPs can deliver autonomously.
I am wholeheartedly supportive of allowing NPs to practice without physician supervision. However, not all doctors share my perspective.
In a recent New York Times op-ed, Dr. Sandeep Jauhar lamented New York becoming the latest state to give NPs freedom to practice without oversight from doctors. He cited a study from 1999 that found NPs ordered more tests and consultations than their physician colleagues, and posited that this discrepancy is due to their inferior training and resultant lack of clinical confidence or acumen. He went on to speculate about a two-tiered system in which under-trained and unsupervised NPs would deliver care that is not as good as that delivered by doctors.
I do not believe such a two-tiered system will come to pass. As was mentioned subsequently in a letter to the editor dissenting from Dr. Jauhar's views, a 2010 report by the Institute of Medicine found clinical outcomes for patients treated by NPs were comparable to those for patients treated by doctors. That finding is entirely in keeping with my own observations of NPs delivering excellent care over the years, both as co-workers and as health-care providers for various members of my family—kids included.

Hidden surveillance recorders all over NYC are tweeting people's conversations
A pair of artists have hidden recording devices in random public and private places around New York City and have been tweeting people's private conversations for months as part of an experiment to increase surveillance awareness.
Kyle McDonald and Brian House installed the Wi-Fi-enabled audio recorders in lamps at McDonalds, a library, a bank, Washington Square Park and even a bedroom. The captured audio is then sent to the crowdsourcing Internet marketplace Mechanical Turk, where workers transcribe the conversations and post them on Twitter. They call the project "Conversnitch."
Many of the bits and pieces of conversations posted are rather harmless.
"Socks, I need socks."
"No, I don't follow the weather. You can't trust what they say."
Others touch on more private topics.
"I'm not pestering you, hun, I'm just asking why you didn't get the job!"
"I'm not sure I'm qualified for the new position."
"Are you sure you want to be talking about this? I really don't know if this is the place."

Mom who ate poppy seeds sues over failed drug test
(NEWSER) – A first-time mother who says she failed a drug test while in labor because she ate poppy seeds has sued a Pittsburgh hospital, saying officials defamed her and violated her doctor-patient confidentiality by sharing the results with a child welfare agency. Rachael Devore, 31, who gave birth at Magee-Women's Hospital of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center on June 24, contends in her lawsuit that the hospital staff tested her urine while she was in labor and then turned over the "positive" drug test to county caseworkers. That led to weeks of random visits to her home.

Survivng Doors members planning Ray Manzarek tribute
Listen to The Doors on iHeartRadio
Surviving Doors drummer John Densmore says he and guitarist Robby Krieger are planning a tribute event for their late bandmate Ray Manzarek, who died of cancer back in April.
Densmore had only recently reconciled with both Robby and Ray before Ray's death, and he tells RollingStone.com it "really feels nice to connect again." He adds that he suggested to Robby in an e-mail a few weeks ago that they should make their musical reunion for Ray.
Densmore says he'd like for them to get together with other musicians they know who love and admire the band and play some Doors songs at the Whisky or Wiltern in Los Angeles. He adds that he told Robby he'd "like to break the ice that way."
While no specifics on the event have been announced as yet, John says it should happen pretty soon.

New 'SI' swimsuit cover makes TV debut on 'Kimmel'
"Sports Illustrated" is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its swimsuit edition with a history-making cover featuring three models. Among the models is R&B singer John Legend's wife, Chrissy Teigen, as well as Nina Agdal and Lily Aldridge. But Jimmy Kimmel points out that this isn't the first time "Sports Illustrated" has tried something new.
Kimmel gave the new cover its television debut on Thursday's "Jimmy Kimmel Live" after "Sports Illustrated" shared it on the Swim Daily blog earlier that evening.
Teigen, Agdal, and Aldridge are also set to visit Kimmel's ABC show on Monday, although he says they probably won't be dressed the same way they are on the cover.
The three women brought an end to fellow model Kate Upton's two-year run as the cover star. Upton was the first to grace back-to-back swimsuit covers since Carolyn Murphy did it in 2005 and 2006.
