5 Foods that Every Nutritionist Stocks in Their Kitchen
Nutritionist Dr. Lisa Young wrote that we need to surround ourselves with not only good people, but good foods. This includes adding whole grains, fresh produce, and protein.
"This is a great way to take inventory if looking to improve your health. As a nutritionist, I have seen firsthand that our environment plays a huge factor guiding our food choices. If our default environment is filled with large portions of junk food, it becomes increasingly difficult to make healthy food choices," she wrote (Huffington Post).

So Game of Thrones season 4 may be months and months and months away (and is winter actually coming this year?) (I have a feeling in a few months, I'm going to regret asking that), but that doesn't mean we still can't get excited about what's to come. The season should include a lot of the action that took place in A Storm of Swords, so it's easy to predict some plot points. But still, seeing as the Red Wedding managed to blow book readers' minds, season 4 could potentially top season 3!
In case you haven't heard, there's likely going to be another wedding that is based on a color: The Purple Wedding between King Joffrey Baratheon (Jack Gleeson) and Margaery Tyrell (Natalie Dormer).
The Purple Wedding has been making headlines recently because of what the series' author, George R. R. Martin, had to say about it! Read on, but be warned, THE INTERNET IS DARK AND FULL OF SPOILERS.
George R. R. Martin told TV Guide: "It's going to be the wedding of the year, and as memorable in its own way as our wedding last season ... It's what the fans call the Purple Wedding, based on the color of the wine, which plays a big part."
He also said, "The bride's dress incorporates roses, there are 77 courses at the dinner feast, and there's some wonderful halftime entertainment."
Haaa, can't wait! Book readers know exactly what the halftime entertainment is: Two dwarfs dueling each other in order to make fun of Joffrey's uncle, Tyrion. To watch the two of them go at it during the entire wedding, from Tyrion giving his gift to Joffrey pouring wine all over his uncle to Tyrion giving Joffrey the wedding chalice, might make it even more crazy and tense than the Red Wedding of season 3.
Also, the Purple Wedding features the iconic moment that Game of Thrones fans have been waiting for since day 1. Yes, King Joffrey does die by poison, but of course, we can't truly be completely happy about, because Tyrion was ultimately blamed and put on trial for his nephew's murder. We may have lost some beloved Starks -- and an innocent direwolf -- all in one scene last year, but watching Joffrey finally get his could put this wedding on top.
Can't wait to see how this all plays out! As for now, some images that might be of the Purple Wedding were leaked on Reddit. Think this could be shots from what should be one of the most amazing scenes of season 4? If they are, they make me miss the show that much more!
Do you think the Red Wedding or Purple Wedding will be more memorable?

How to Get a Bikini Body Fast
Are you looking forward to putting on your swimsuit this summer season? Or are you dreading it because of all the fat you've accumulated on your midsection, butt, or thighs and would rather die than be caught in a bikini? Well if the later part sounds more like you then it may be time to get your butt in gear and start shedding those unwanted pounds and toning that body so you can look great in that tiny bikini. A few small changes can go a long way in transforming your body. So follow these tips and learn how to get a bikini body fast.
Cut out the junk. Ok if you really want to look good this summer you are going to have to make some sacrifices and give up all the stuff that is just making you fat. Really, just do and trust me you will like the results.
This means giving up the sodas, cookies, chocolaty desserts, fried foods, chips, beer, mixed drinks, and all those foods and beverages with empty calories. Yes, you know what I'm talking about, but sorry these are just adding to your waistline.
Just try it for a few weeks and notice not only how slim you feel but how much more energy you will have. And trust me your taste buds will change and it won't seem so bad to miss out on these things. Replace these foods with healthy summer fruits and veggies, and instead reserve your treats for a cheat meal once a week.
Kick some butt. If you're already working out that's excellent! If not start now. They key here is to do more than you are already doing. This may mean you need to up your cardio by doing it more often, a bit longer, or more intensely. Cardio will burn those extra calories, helping you to lean up and burn fat.
And don't skimp on the weight training, especially for those abs, thighs, and arms! Working those muscles will give you that toned appearance and shapely legs, buns, and more.
Make sure to be constantly pushing yourself harder every time you work out to so you can burn maximum calories in less time. No weenie workouts here!
Eat more often including breakfast. A great way to rev up your metabolism is to eat every 3-4 hours and avoid letting yourself get hungry. Waiting too long to eat can cause your body to store fat and even makes you crave bad, bad foods. So just don't go there.
Have snacks handy, plan your meals ahead of time even if this means packing a lunch, and heck even set a timer as a reminder if you need to. And yes, this includes breakfast. Start your day off right and from there your goal is to avoid letting yourself go past that 4 hour mark without eating a small meal of 300-350 calories.
So follow these 3 great tips to start burning fat and boosting that metabolism so you can get a bikini body fast this summer season and look great in next to nothing!

2003-2011 Ford Crown Victoria and Mercury Grand Marquis
2003 • 2004 • 2005 • 2006 • 2007 • 2008 • 2009 • 2010 • 2011
In a nutshell: This article is an overview of your car's audio system and its upgrade options. Use our vehicle selector to find the gear that will fit your Crown Vic or Grand Marquis.
Overview of the Crown Victoria and Grand Marquis
Bored with Sudoku? Here's a math challenge for you: Try to figure out how many individual human beings have taken at least one ride in the Ford Crown Victoria.
Think of all the Crown Vics you've seen in the rental lot at the airport, or in the busy, taxi-filled streets of your nearest major city, or (gulp) in the median just as you crested a blind hill. And that's not even counting the Crown Vics that rolled out of the dealership into a cushy life as a regular family car, of which there were many. The numbers have to be absolutely staggering.
Look at it this way: in all likelihood, everyone you've ever known has probably been in a Crown Vic at some point in their lives – hopefully because they wanted to be, but we're not judging… And if any of those people rode in a Crown Vic cab on the way to see a Kevin Bacon movie… Oh, wow…. This isn't just a big car; it's a big part of our shared culture. They really don't make 'em like this anymore, but with some upgraded audio gear, you can make your car a great place to enjoy music in comfort and style.
The Crown Vic wasn't produced for civilian purchase after 2007, so all later models were made for fleet use. The Mercury Grand Marquis, to which the information below also applies, was sold in dealerships until 2011, when the entire Mercury brand ceased to be. In fact, the very last Mercury that rolled off the assembly line was a Grand Marquis.
Note: For simplicity's sake, we'll refer to the car as a Crown Vic throughout the text, unless we're addressing a Mercury-specific topic. No disrespect to the storied Mercury brand, but "Crown Vic" is a lot easier to type.
Objects in the dash are smaller than they appear (Crutchfield Research Photo)
Factory stereo system
The classic Crown Vic system was an AM/FM/CD/cassette unit with 4 speakers. Even when new, its performance could best be described as "adequate," so there's plenty of room for improvement. There isn't room for a 4" tall double-DIN receiver, however, which might surprise you.
When you glance at the dash, it's only natural to assume that you can pop a big-screen nav receiver into that opening with no trouble at all. Looks can be deceiving, though. A double-DIN can be made to fit, but not without extensive, detailed modifications to the dash opening. Same goes for receivers with flip-out video screens. This might seem odd at first, but it's not at all uncommon on a number of Ford models equipped with this factory radio.
Detailed installation instructions
For that reason, we recommend a single-DIN receiver for your Crown Vic. You won't get the big screen, but there are a number of 2" single-DIN receivers that let you enjoy the convenience of hands-free calling and music streaming, plus great features like multi-line displays, sound-shaping technology, built-in HD Radio™ tuners, and more. You'll need a mounting kit, of course, and it's included at a discount with your Crutchfield stereo purchase.
Unless you happen to be an exceptionally talented and experienced craftsman, you really should consult a car audio professional if you want to install a double-DIN receiver. It's important to understand that there really aren't any do-overs with this job. If you mess it up, your dash is messed up. Period.
Use DIN tools (free with purchase) to remove the radio (Crutchfield Research Photo)
Replacing your factory radio
To remove the factory receiver, you'll need to use the metal DIN tools that are included with your stereo purchase. Insert the tools approximately one inch into the holes in each side of the radio until you hear a click on each side. Be gentle during this process, because excessive force will damage the retaining clips. Once you've heard the magic click, spread the tools apart slightly, pull out the radio, disconnect the wiring harnesses, unplug the antenna and remove the radio.
To install your new receiver, you'll start by attaching it to the mounting bracket that's included at a discount with your Crutchfield stereo purchase. Follow the instructions that come with the kit.
Connect the wiring adapter (also available at a steep discount with your stereo purchase) to the receiver, following the instructions included. Hold the receiver assembly near the dash and connect the wiring adapter to the factory harness. Plug the antenna lead into the rear of the receiver; then slide the assembly into the dash until it snaps into place. It's as simple as that.
Tools needed: DIN tools
Steering wheel audio controls
It's relatively easy to retain the steering wheel audio controls when you install a new stereo in your Crown Vic or Grand Marquis. When you enter your vehicle information, our database will choose the adapter you need to make your factory steering wheel controls work with your new receiver.

Replacing your factory speakers
The Crown Vic didn't change a lot over the years, but there were yearly tweaks and improvements that made it a better car. There were some minor adjustments made with the speakers, and we'll address them below. Overall, the process of replacing your factory speakers is relatively uncomplicated and the improvement in sound should be impressive.
Front speakers
The stock front speakers on all Fords and Mercurys were special-size 6x8 models. You can replace them with aftermarket 6x8s, or install 5-1/4" speakers with the help of the discounted mounting brackets available with your speaker purchase.
Removing and replacing the speakers is a relatively uncomplicated process, but you will have to remove the door panels. We've researched these cars extensively, so the Crutchfield MasterSheet included free with your speaker purchase will contain detailed installation instructions for your specific year, make, and model.
Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, small flat blade screwdriver, panel tool,Torx T30 driver, 5mm socket, ratchet, and extension.
Removal techniques vary for the rear deck speakers (Crutchfield Research Photo)
Rear speakers
The Crown Vic's rear speakers are located in the spacious rear deck. Ford took full advantage of the space and installed a set of factory 6x8 speakers back there. You can replace them with same-size aftermarket speakers, or go with 5-1/4" models mounted in brackets.
As with the front speakers, the exact technique for reaching and replacing the rear deck speakers in a Crown Vic or Grand Marquis changed a bit over the course of the production run. It's quite easy on the 2003 Grand Marquis, for example, but some later models require more work, including removing the rear seat.
There's nothing the average DIY installer can't handle, though, and no matter which year Ford or Mercury you have, you'll get help from your Crutchfield MasterSheet and, if needed, our Technical Advisors.
Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, panel tool, 18mm socket, ratchet, and extension (varies by model).

The Crown Vic offers plenty of room for bass. And a spare tire. (Crutchfield Research Photo)
Bass in your Crown Victoria or Grand Marquis
We've seen some really trick custom audio work in Crown Vics, so whether your tastes in bass are mild or wild, you have a nice canvas to work with. The same goes for musical tastes, by the way. Adding a sub and an amp isn't just a thing for kids who love loud music. These upgrades will add depth and clarity to any type of music, from classical to country.
The Crown Vic's trunk is, as you know, a truly massive space. If you're all about power and volume, you've got a 40" W x 13" H x 25" D area that will hold a custom component enclosure and enough amplifiers to feed a big-time system.
Even if you want to retain most of your luggage capacity, you still have plenty of room for an enclosed subwoofer and a couple of amps. The more subtle option, of course, is a powered sub. You'll get surprisingly healthy performance in a compact package that will leave you plenty of room for luggage, groceries, golf clubs, and what have you.
Shop for vehicle-specific subwoofers for your Ford Crown Victoria
Other options for your Crown Victoria or Grand Marquis
Here are some other additions that will make your Ford or Mercury even more enjoyable to own:
Just because you can't easily install a touchscreen nav receiver in your car's dash doesn't mean you have to drive around lost. A portable GPS from Garmin, Magellan, or TomTom will mount on your dash and give you turn-by-turn directions, traffic updates, and everything you need to make your road trip go smoothly. Plus, when you get where you're going, you can put your GPS in your pocket and use it to find points of interest around town.
Noise damping
The Crown Vic is, and we mean this respectfully, a tank. The civilian models were made to cruise in near Lincoln-esque silence, while the more workaday Crown Vics were solidly built and reasonably quiet. Still, these are older cars, so they will tend to creak and rattle. Installing Dynamat in the doors when you're replacing the speakers can really help seal out noise and seal in sound. If you're installing a sub, lining the trunk with Dynamat will seal in the thump and keep the trunk lid from rattling, too. If you're all about sound, you might want to line the floors, as well.
Installing a security system in your Crown Vic or Grand Marquis isn't easy (security systems rarely are), but it's less complicated than it could be. If you're installing an alarm, you won't need a transponder bypass unless you're also adding remote start. Our Crutchfield Advisors can help figure out what you need to get the job done, but we usually recommend taking your car and new gear to a professional installer when it comes to security systems.

S.J. sees alarming jump in slayings (California)
Surge in homicides mirrors larger trend
Ellen Thompson
Record Staff Writer
STOCKTON - About two-thirds of the way into the year, the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office has investigated 17 homicides. That is four more than in all of 2005, seven more than in 2004 and matches the total for 2003.
University of the Pacific Sociology professor John Phillips, who specializes in criminology, said a drop in homicide rates nationally may be ending.
"Murders have been dropping for 10 years, but they may have made a recovery," he said. "There is some talk about crime increasing in California and homicides increasing this year."
::: Advertisement :::
Oakland, Sacramento, Santa Cruz County and Fresno are all experiencing higher than normal homicide rates. More homicides have been investigated this year in Sacramento than in any year in more than a decade, and Oakland logged its 100th homicide earlier this month, nearing the total for 2003.
"Nobody wants to say why," Phillips said of the jump statewide, adding that locally, fluctuations are mostly a matter of speculation.
San Joaquin County Sheriff Robert Heidelbach and Homicide Division supervisor Sgt. Joseph Herrera pointed to some general trends. Heidelbach said the population is growing, rural areas are sometimes dumping grounds for murder victims, and the economy is slack.
But methamphetamine's role dwarfs those factors, he said.
"It's had a major impact on our crime rate," Heidelbach said of the drug also known as meth, crystal and speed, among other names.
Drug use, particularly methamphetamine, was a player in most of this year's homicides, Herrera said.
Most recently, methamphetamine appeared to be a factor - though less directly than originally thought - in the double homicide in Thornton that left Janet Jensen, 55, and her grandson Keoni Willis, 21/2, dead at the hands of Jensen's son Michael Carriker, who later committed suicide. Methamphetamine was found in the car driven by Carriker that day, though not in Carriker's system, Herrera said.
The investigation last month in the murder of Jennifer Holland, 19, of Tracy turned up a meth lab at a residence where Holland was living on and off, Herrera said.
Glass pipes used for smoking methamphetamine were found in the Acampo home of homicide victim Lillian Best, 20, he said.
Remnants of a methamphetamine lab were found at the Lockeford home where Juan Carlos Arelleno, 19, was stabbed in July, and Angelique Hewitt, 43, was shot on her front porch in Lathrop in April during a family member's drug deal gone wrong, officials said.
In that case, the drug was marijuana.
"It's not to say these people are bad people," Herrera said. "It's that they've put themselves in a dangerous situation."
Sheriff's Office investigators have had better than average success at solving the cases. Of the 17 homicides the Sheriff's Office is investigating, all but four have been solved, most resulting in arrests.
That's about 76 percent of the cases leading to arrests, compared with a 2004 national average of about 63 percent, the most recent figure available from the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Statistics.
The number of people killed countywide is on pace to be up slightly from the previous few years' averages, with 49 homicides as of Saturday evening, including two this weekend in Stockton.
So far this year, Stockton police have investigated 31 homicides, the same number as this time last year.
Of the 29 homicides in Stockton before the weekend, arrests have been made in 52 percent of them, Stockton police Officer Pete Smith said. No arrests were made as of Saturday afternoon in this weekend's two homicides.
The Lodi Police Department, the only other law enforcement agency in the county currently conducting a homicide investigation, is looking into one homicide. In that case, a "person of interest" is in custody in the County Jail on unrelated charges.
The increase in homicides in the unincorporated area of the county does not mean the average citizen is in danger, Herrera said.
"The vast majority, 99.99 percent of the 600,000 citizens in San Joaquin County that are home with their family at 2 a.m., not ingesting narcotics and not involved in these activities, have an extremely low incidence of being a victim or being involved in a homicide," he said. "You don't need to double-check your doors."

A plush black, brushed elastic waistband adorned with the Male Power logo holds up the front pouch and rear straps that make this such a classic jock style. Adding plenty of support and coverage to sustain your package through moments of high activity on and off the field, it's centre seamed design creates a sculpted pouch that cradles without squishing and even enhances the look of your bulge, and that alone is likely enough to make these your favourite pair of underwear!
The stretchy front panel is an enticing mix of stretchy white fabric with a repeating pattern of elongated oval cut outs surrounded by black. The effect is like that of a repeating wave, hence the name of these fun Sport Jocks. The classic style adds bands around back that frame the cheeks and join the pouch, creating a kinky style that merges form with function.
This Sport Jock is one among many from the Male Power collection of men's underwear, and one of five from the Wave collection which also includes the Mini Pouch Short, the Power Sock, the Micro Thong, and the Mustang Bikini.

I think multipath would be nice feature. Eg. you can have serial/other remote connected and then have local terminal at same time. This would allow remote maintenance for server and then if user is locally there he can operate machine too. For this there would need to be a way to say send output to these terminals and gather input from these terminals.

Iraqi officials say the United States will transfer security control of Iraq's Anbar province to Iraqi forces on Monday, September 1.
U.S. Marine Corps Commander General James Conway said Wednesday that security in the once volatile region has improved to the extent that Marines there are doing more rebuilding than fighting. He says keeping 25,000 Marines in the province is excessive.
The U.S. military had been due to hand over security responsibility for Anbar to Iraqi forces in June, but the move was delayed.
Anbar will be the 10th province to revert to Iraqi control. It has experienced a sharp drop in violence since local Sunni tribes turned against al-Qaida militants in 2006.
In other news, radical Iraqi Shi'ite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr Thursday announced he has suspended indefinitely the activity of his militia, the Mahdi Army.
Earlier this month, Sadr said he would dissolve the militia if U.S. forces started withdrawing from Iraq.
The U.S. and Iraqi governments are still negotiating a long-term security pact when the United Nations mandate ends for U.S. forces in Iraq at the end of this year.
On Wednesday, Iraqi President Jalal Talabani said the United States asked for permission to keep troops in Iraq until 2015, but later agreed to a 2011 withdrawal date.
U.S. officials say a deal with Iraq is close, but there is no final agreement.
Separately, the U.S. military says an American soldier has died of wounds suffered in a small-arms fire attack in Baghdad Wednesday.
Some information for this report was provided by AFP, AP and Reuters.

The Statue of Liberty is one of the world's most recognisable icons - how many times have you seen her on the TV or in the movies?

No matter what you choose to do, try and take in as much as possible because there's nothing like seeing NYC for the very first time.
Day 3 New York City
Start your day with a stroll over the historic Brooklyn Bridge, then hit the Lower East Side and take in some immigration history at the Tenement Museum. Grab a gourmet bite to eat at the famous Chelsea Market or opt to channel New Yorks most famous foursome on a Sex and the City tour, then perhaps hit trendy Williamsburg or the East Village to check out some impressive urban street art. Then it's another one for the bucket list - we're heading to the most famous New York landmark, the Empire State Building. With an uninterrupted view of the concrete jungle lit up like a Christmas tree, that's one big tick off the ever growing list.

Remember my need to want to create and it involved something sweet? Oh but of course it involved food - ha!
I came home from my vacation and was begged and forced and dragged into hosting a table at my church's Fall Tea last Saturday.
Okay so maybe I wasn't forced or dragged - begged, maybe a little!
Well I wanted to do something different at my table. I wanted it to be cheap. I didn't want to wake up early that morning and go to the flower mart I just didn't. A latte in my pajamas sounded way better.
So I visited the 99cent store and decided on a "Sweet Couture" table theme!
I loved it. It was a SWEET day sharing a table with my SWEET peeps! Thanks girls for joining me at the last minute!
You see though what pictures I thought were important - the food not the friends.
I think I got thrown off due to the fact that they made me stand up in front of 200 women as they all sang happy birthday to me since the tea was in my honor.
Okay so it really wasn't in my honor it just happen to fall on my birthday but I pretended it was on purpose cuz in my head that was more fun!
Everyone got fun polka dot goodie bags to take home lots of candy.
It was a SWEET day - thanks ladies for all your hard work!!!

Welcome to the AED community.
The AussieEggDonor group was started in 2002 when two Australian egg donors thought there was a need for an Australian/New Zealand support group.
From a few initial members, the group has grown to over 400 active members, providing support, information and guidance in all stages of the egg donation journey, both recipients and donors, as well as surrogate mothers and embryo donors.
As a community, we are committed to supporting others on this path and warmly welcome you.
We have created this space as a private bulletin board, and all members are approved by Administration. It has always been the group's aim to protect each member's privacy and to provide a safe haven to talk frankly and openly.
Due to the senstive nature of the information we share, we expect people to post at least once every two weeks in order to discourage lurking. If it is not possible to post once every two weeks, please contact Admin and let them know so your account is not deleted.
As per our guidelines at AED, although we have provided an opportunity for recipients to indicate they are looking for a donor, we encourage all recipients not to approach donors, but to allow donors the freedom of the board to approach recipients if they choose to do so. Likewise we encourage donors to only approach one recipient at a time. We encourage everyone to be honest with their dealings with other people.
Under Victorian legislation, it is illegal for recipients to advertise for a donor unless they have the appropriate written authoristaion from the Minister for Health - we will delete all advertisements from Victorian recipients until they have the appropriate approval.
If you would like to join this Online Community, please visit the Forum Page to find out more.

Analysis Variable:
Number of Postdoctorates (Type of Doctoral Degree)
This variable is the number of postdoctorates in GSS-eligible science, engineering, and health (SEH) units in the fall of the data collection year. Breakdowns of these data are available by: academic institution, state, Carnegie classification, type-of-control (public or private), discipline, highest degree granted (unit and/or institution level), mechanism of support, and type of doctoral degree.
Postdoctorates include individuals with SEH degrees as Ph.D.'s, M.D.'s, D.D.S.'s, or D.V.M.'s (including foreign degrees equivalent to U.S. doctorates) who devote their
primary effort to their own research training through research activities or study
in the department under temporary appointments carrying no academic rank. These individuals may contribute to the academic program through seminars, lectures, or working with graduate students. Such postdoctorates may have different titles at different institutions, e.g., "Postdoctoral Scholar," "Research Associate," "Postdoctoral Fellow," or "Postgraduate Researcher." Excluded are clinical fellows and those with appointments in residency training programs in medical and health professions,
unless research training under the supervision of a senior mentor is the primary purpose
of the appointment.
Data are available for fall 2010-present.
Please see the data source help for details on the population size and structure for each year.
Data Limitations
Data collection for postdoctoral appointees (postdocs) and other doctorate-holding nonfaculty researchers (NFRs) expanded considerably in 2010, and significant efforts made to ensure that appropriate personnel at the surveyed institutions were providing these data. Missing data within newly collected items were not imputed due to the lack of historical data. All postdoc and NFR data will be re-imputed following the 2012 cycle.

Watershed assessment, management and restoration of Little Kern golden trout in the Little Kern River, California
Heritage and Wild Trout Program
Zuber, C., R. Bloom, S. Mehalick, and J. Weaver
Goals and Objectives
Since 2010, the HWTP has gathered baseline fisheries and habitat data throughout the native range of Little Kern golden trout in an effort to help restore and manage this threatened species. As of August 2013, 38 percent of the Little Kern River and tributaries have been surveyed via electrofishing (Figure 4). A
Little Kern golden trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss whitei) are endemic to the Little Kern River watershed and are listed as Threatened under the federal Endangered Species Act. The Little Kern River is tributary to the Kern River and is located approximately 65 miles northeast of Bakersfield, CA (Figure 1).
comprehensive assessment of the entire watershed should be completed by 2014.
These data will provide up-to-date information to aid in the development of recovery plans, provide information on the current
Little Kern golden trout
status of fish in the watershed and give insight into any associated threats posed to Little Kern golden trout such as genetic introgression and/or impacts from recent fire.

Throughout this process, the HWTP is evaluating the Little Kern River and tributaries for designation as a Heritage and Wild
Trout Water. Wild Trout Waters are those that support self-sustaining (wild) trout populations, are aesthetically pleasing and environmentally productive, provide adequate catch rates in terms of numbers or size of trout, and are open to public angling. Heritage Trout Waters

The Little Kern River watershed encompasses a total of 137 miles of perennial stream habitat, the majority of which is located on public land administered by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS)
within the Sequoia National Forest. Concern about the current status of Little Kern golden trout populations prompted the California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) Heritage and Wild Trout Program (HWTP), with assistance from the Sequoia and Inyo National forests, to initiate fisheries and habitat assessments throughout the watershed (Figure 2).

This project is a collaborative effort with the USFS; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; University of California at Davis; California Trout; Trout Unlimited; and private landowners. In addition, data collection has been accomplished through the hard work and dedication of Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission employees, CDFW personnel, and numerous volunteers.

American women soldiers are probably among the most liberated women in the world, fighting in the world's most sophisticated army. Many are on the ground in Afghanistan. Their aim is not only to wage war on terror but also to battle the Taliban-led campaign against women's rights. Some Afghan women, though, say they want to fight this battle on their own. Mandy Clark has this report from Khost, in eastern Afghanistan.
Sergeant Barbara Ospina sits on a dusty bench cleaning her rifle. She joined the U.S. Army as a response to al-Qaida's September 11th, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington. The 23-year-old wife and mother says she is committed to fighting the war on terror - but also another battle: the fight for women's rights in Afghanistan."It's pretty much like night and day when you look at American women compared to Afghan women but after all, we're all women," said Sergeant Ospina.
Although the United States military ousted the Taliban in 2001, Ospina says Taliban ideas about women - and how they should behave - are still ingrained in the country's psyche.
Ospina says she hopes to help change that during her tour in Afghanistan.
"I would hope that when we leave here in 14 more months that it's a step closer than when we came in - not for us, but for the Afghan people because that's what they want, and that's what I want to help provide for them," she said.
Apache helicopter pilot Sharon Kelly has similar goals. She believes the Taliban must be defeated. She says American forces can help the Afghan people win their battle for basic freedoms.
"For me it's about America, but it's about everybody else too because we have such an amazing way of life and we have freedom and choices,' said Kelly. "But we want them to have the choices and to have the freedom that we do. I mean, having women in Afghanistan free would be an amazing thing."
Afghanistan has always been a traditional, male-dominated society, but women under the Islamic extremist Taliban rule suffered much more than before. Women and girls were confined to their homes, and barred from school. They could leave home only if accompanied by a male member of the family. And they had to wear a Burka, a flowing cape that covered them from head to toe, with a mesh screen over their eyes, their narrow window on the world.
That was supposed to change when the Taliban was routed. And some things have. Now, women are serving in government and girls can go to school.
But Parween, from the Revolutionary Afghan Women's Association, says not enough has changed. She would only give a first name. She says women's advocates are often targeted by extremists and she blames the Americans for the resurgence of the Taliban and what she says are new dangers for women.
"We think the situation for Afghan women is worse than before, it is no different to Taliban time and now," said Parween. "This war is not war against Taliban and al-Qaida, it's war against our people. United States bombing villages, killing the children and when people ask them, they say it was just a mistake and we thought there was Taliban. For this reason Taliban every day become more powerful."
The Taliban has been regrouping, especially in the country's east and south. The battles between Taliban fighters and U.S.-led coalition troops have heightened a sense of insecurity. They have also stoked fears that Taliban rule is on the way back. A growing number of civilians have fled their homes and are displaced inside the country.
"OK, we have had the international military forces come in, but in fact the situation has got worse in the last two to three years and in fact we are seeing more people fleeing their places of origin," said Maya Amertunga, who is from the U.N.'s refugee agency. "We have so many internally displaced peoples, IDPs, who have received threatening letters from the Taliban. So something as fundamental as the right to an education is under attack here."
Afghan political activist, Malalai Joya, says the Americans may be well intentioned. But, she says, freedom cannot come from the barrel of a gun.
"Maybe this B-52 will bring real democracy, first of all security for us," said Malalai Joya. "Today unfortunately, we do not have women rights. Women rights, human rights, these values are not something that someone [can] donate [to] us."
Afghan women activists and American women soldiers - their goals are similar; their ideas on how to achieve them remain vastly different.

eos Visibly Soft Lip Balm, enriched with natural conditioning oils, moisturizing shea butter and antioxidant vitamins C & E, nourishes for immediately softer, more beautiful lips. (source: eos website)
eos claims the Visibly Soft line offers long-lasting moisture for immediately softer and more beautiful lips, it has shea butter & vitamins C & E ingredients and the lip balm glides on lips smoothly with a cute twist-off top.
Visibly Soft Lip Balm is made in USA, 99% natural and it is free of Petrolatum, Paraben, Gluten and Phtalate.
Can you imagine what coconut milk smells like? Smells like coconut, of course... duh! Well close... eos Visibly Soft Lip Balm in Coconut Milk smells just like pina colada! The fragrance is not too strong, but it's still very visible and it could last ages on the lips after application. I love the coconut scent, and I hope it won't ever change its smell like Strawberry Sorbet did.
I feel like eos has improved its texture of the Visibly Soft Lip Balm range, like it's no longer as waxy and hard to apply! Compare to Strawberry Sorbet that I have previously owned, the texture is so much softer and when I swipe it on my lips, it glides on smoothly and I no longer have to swipe it so many times and wait for the waxy part to smelt into my lips.
The formula is also very impressive with this new range, my lips feels very hydrated when wearing Coconut Milk, it doesn't dry out my lips and it keeps my lips very moisturized. Also the lip balm stayed on longer than the regular eos, with two swipes of the lip balm, it could last up to two hours for me.
Overall I am impressed with the new Visibly Soft Lip Balm range, the texture, application, formula, moisturization has been changed for better and it is no longer as waxy, hard to apply and not moisturizing. I really enjoy the sweet coconut milk / pina colada scent and I love that the fragrance stayed on for a long times after application.
There's really nothing bad to say about eos Coconut Milk Lip Balm :3 It's really an amazing products and I highly recommend you to try it if you haven't, especially for those coconut lovers, you will love this! ♥
Are you an eos fan? Have you tried Coconut Milk & what is your favourite eos lip balm flavor?

For five Army heroes Father's Day is especially poignant… because they are lucky to be alive.
Trooper Stevie Shine, Lance Corporal Martyn Compton, Private Mikey Court, Sapper Tom Folwell and Corporal Mike Day are Britain's bravest dads.
They were blown up by improvised explosive devices in Iraq and Afghanistan lost legs and digits and suffered horrific brain and spine injuries.
The dads, whose story we first told last August, they are making history by becoming professional racing drivers with soldier 's charity KartForce, beating able bodied competitors in the process.
KartForce ambassador and dad-of-two Martyn Compton said: "We've seen unimaginable horror but we've fought back from it and are incredibly happy to be alive.
"When people ask what makes us proudest we have the same answer – our beautiful kids.
"We don't consider ourselves heroes - we're just trying to be the best dads and role models we can be.
"Every Father's Day is so much more precious knowing we might not have been there."
The five want to raise £15,000 for KartForce – to donate click here
Blast victim 'died' four times
It's little short of a miracle that brave Martyn Compton can play with his kids in the garden on Sunday.
As Martyn, 30, cuddles Archie, three, and Coral, aged two, he knows he is lucky to be alive.
In August 2006, he was blown up, shot in the right thigh and "died" four times.
A lance corporal with the Household Cavalry Regiment in Afghanistan, Compo was in a vehicle blasted by an IED then rocket-propelled grenades in Helmand.
Martyn, of Hastings, East Sussex said: "I was trapped and suffered 75% burns, a combination of third degree and full thickness.
"As I escaped and ran for cover I was shot twice in my right femur. They lost me four times en route back to the UK.
"I remember dying the first time. Everything stopped hurting, I just wanted to go to sleep. It was a strange, cosy feeling."
Since then Martyn has had about 500 operations and had two kids with Michelle, now 33.
He said: "I so nearly wasn't here for them. They've been making cards for today and we'll be spending time playing in the garden.
"Those precious moments are what truly matters in life."
Martyn, who wants to work in the motor industry and will be medically discharged from the Army, said: "Archie has asked me why I have no hair – and he's old enough to understand that daddy is a soldier.
"I will tell them my story when the time is right. At the moment my focus is on being the best father I can possibly be."
Mike's lucky to be alive
Father's Day has meant far more to Corporal Mike "Doris" Day since he was blown up by a grenade in 2009.
Mike, 31, has an 18-month-old son Obi with wife of three years Nickie and daughters Chloe, ten, and Phoebe, eight.
He said: "Since I've been injured, Father's Day has taken on a whole new meaning. I feel so lucky to be alive and despite my injuries I feel so blessed to be able to spend the day with my three beautiful kids."
Mike, of Salisbury, Wilts, of 4 Rifles, was injured in Afghanistan just a day after he escaped unscathed being blown up by an IED.
A grenade was thrown over a wall and landed on his right foot. The blast broke his back and embedded shrapnel in his
temple, legs and backside.
"I suffered lots of painful operations, post traumatic stress and have a mild brain injury."
Mike is now a youth worker at his local college and has started a business to provide outdoor education and activities for 12-18 year olds.
Today he is taking his kids on a boat trip in Weymouth. He added: "It'll be a great day out for all of us."
Kids saved me
Trooper Stevie Shine whose left leg is amputated above the knee credits his four kids with giving him the strength to carry on.
The 30-year-old, of the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment, was in a CR2 Challenger tank in Basra, Iraq, in 2007 when it was blown up by two roadside bombs.
Stevie, of West London, badly damaged both his legs but was one of few amputees to serve in Afghanistan with a prosthetic limb.
Stevie is dad to sons Chayce, six, five-year-old Albey, Fletcher, two, and 18 month old Poppy. He married wife Zoe, 26, on April 26th 2014.
He was medically discharged last month and said being injured has made him a better dad. "Your whole life is put into perspective when something like this happens to you," he said.
"This Father's Day we're off to our local park to play football.
"They love being outside and running around.
"When I see them all together that makes me so happy – as it so nearly didn't happen."
He said: "After I was injured I did get depressed – but my children gave me a point and a reason to pick myself back up."
He added: "My drive was to make them proud of me and to be a role model and the best dad I can possibly be."
Car-daft little lad's my world
Petrolhead Mikey Courts could not be more proud as he lifts up his two-year-old son in a matching racing suit.
A private with Black Watch (3 Scots) based in Fife, Mikey was injured on foot patrol in 2011 leaping a large ditch to take cover from sniper fire.
He suffered a broken left knee, ruptured a disc in his spine and permanently damaged the nerves on his right.
On the day he phoned partner Stacey McCutcheon, 25, to tell her he was being airlifted home she said she was pregnant.
"It was an amazing coincidence which spurred me on as I tried to recover."
Today Mikey – like the other dads, a star of our report last August into the hero's kart driving – will take Calvin to the races and reckons his boy is a future champ.
Mikey, 24, said: "He is car daft. He made a Father's Day card – there's lots of squiggles but I love it.
"Every time I look at him I feel grateful to be alive – everything I do is for him."
Mikey, an offshore oil rigs inspector after being medically discharged, also credits Calvin with helping to heal his wounds from two Afghanistan tours.
He said: "On my first tour in 2009 I was one of three people blown up by an IED on foot patrol. I was thrown clear by the blast and hit a wall but the other two guys died. These are things you never forget and it hit me very hard."
The horrific incident gave Mikey, 19 at the time, suffered post traumatic stress. "I consider myself lucky to be alive – someone must have been watching down on me that day as I didn't have a scratch."
Leg loss sapper's hope for baby Harvey
Doting Tom Folwell cherishes every moment with baby Harvey and even thinks being injured will make him a better dad.
Sapper Tom, 29, said: "I love changing him, feeding him and watching him sleep. Every one of those moments is so amazing and incredible. It's what life is all about."
Tom was on foot patrol with the Personnel Recovery Unit 145 Brigade in Helmand in June 2012 when he stepped on an IED in a compound.
He says: "One minute I was walking, the next I was lying on the ground injured. I can't remember much about what happened as it was all over in an instant. I was initially flown to Camp Bastion for life saving surgery."
"Two days later I was flown back to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, but they had to stop in Cyprus as I developed a blood clot. They needed to stabilize me… it was touch and go.
"I lost both legs, my right above the knee and my left through the knee and on my left hand the tops of all four of my fingers were blown off in the blast. But I'm really grateful to be alive."
Since then, Tom, of Chatham, Kent, who was a London Olympics torchbearer, has recovered enough to stand on prosthetic legs and have Harvey, now seven months, with wife Tania, 42.
He said: "This Father's Day will be my first as a dad and I believe being injured will make me a better father."

As Sean Connery famously said in the movie Entrapment, "Let's dress up like Smurfs to cause our crimes that is the best way." Ever since, it has been an endless string of copycat criminals, trying to be masters of crime in their Smurf costumes. We've all heard the stories. At this point, it is weird when someone causes a crime who is NOT in a Smurf costume. Are they trying to be caught? Is this the cry for help? Two mysteries. But today we have another story of another perfect crime caused in Australia by a gang in Smurf costumes. According to the news, they assaulted a man in a 7-11 parking lot after he refused to light their cigarette, which they asked him to light in the middle of trying to rob a car. So two great crimes all in one. This was probably their last job before they tried to go clean because they would make enough from the stolen white VS Commodore Sedan and the lit cigarette to retire to some garbage can somewhere. I'm not saying that I approve of causing crimes, because I don't, but it's always exciting to watch skilled professionals do incredible work. See the masters displaying their craft after the jump:
The Smurf is probably just using the card reader to check his bank balance and make sure the wire transfer of 100 cigarettes directly into his big account went through. Now he's a ghost. Kaizer Smurfse. (GOOD ONE, GABE! THAT JOKE IS A CRIME!)

Guess who's going to the Sublime concert tonight….
That's right…
I am so excited. This is an opportunity I thought I'd never have.
I'm sad that they have a new lead singer, but I guess that was unevitable.
From what I see on YouTube, Rome does an awesome job being the lead. He has some pretty motherfucking HUGE shoes to fill.
This is one of my most FAVORITE songs they sing.
My favorite part is when he sings, "Ramona, please step back..BOP! BOP!"
I'm weird. I know. I can't help it. It's why you love me.
I'm pretty fucking tired…had my sleepy time pills…so sorry such a shitty post.
I love you guys!!

Posted on August 12, 2015 in Strings
Babolat RPM Blast, Luxilon ALU Power, Solinco Tour Bite… these polyester tennis strings are popular on the pro tour because of their low-powered response that allows players to swing extremely fast and generate tons of spin. Also, their monofilament construction also offers excellent durability for frequent string breakers.
Let it be known that if you don't have long, fast, more modern "low to high" strokes, then polyester strings may not be ideal for you. They are very low-powered and stiff which can cause arm problems in players that can't generate a lot of their own power. A good rule of thumb to remember is that if you are able to break softer strings like synthetic gut or multifilament in 20 hours of less, then you'll most like benefit from the unique properties that polyester strings provide.
With so many polyester tennis string options out there, you don't have to break the bank to get great performance. Here is a list of some of our TW Staff's favorite polyester strings that are available under $10 a set:

Okay. I did a harvest today.Tomorrow I will attempt to make spaghetti sauce and can it in my water bath set up.I know not to add meat (thanks Kathleen!), but what about other fresh veggies from the garden, like green pepper, onion and jalapeno?I got fresh oregano, basil, thyme and garlic and I know these are no problem...TIA...LJ
They'd all be good if those flavors will work in all applications you have in mind for the sauce. Sometimes, "less is more" if the profusion of veggies and spices result in a sauce that's overly complex. One excellent addition is some slivers of carrot to counter the natural acidity of the tomatoes. They'll disappear after lengthy cooking and add a natural sweetness.Do you plan to remove the seeds from the tomatoes? A bit of work, but worth it!Good luck!Dick
For you lucky tomato harvesters, this is a delicious and unusual twist on the traditional spaghetti sauces. The recipe was put together by a friend on the old Cooks Forum on CI$.***** BAKED TOMATO SPAGHETTI ***** 12 Medium size (about 1 3/4 lb. total) firm ripe Roma Salt and Pepper 4 garlic cloves,HUGE ones, chopped/crushed 3/4 cup chopped parsley (I used more and used Italian) 1/2+ cup olive oil 1 lb dry spaghetti (I used linguine) 2 Tbsp butter, room temp 1/2 cup basil, fresh whole 2 Tablespoons crumbled dry Fresh-grated Parmesan cheese Cut tomatoes in half lengthwise and set, cut sides up, in a 9 by 13 inch baking pan or dish (line w/foil if glass). Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper. Mix garlic, 1/2 cup parsley, and 3-4 tablespoons olive oil; pat mixture over cut sides of tomatoes. Drizzle 2 tablespoons oil over tomatoes. Bake in a 425 oven until browned on top, 60 to 70 minutes. In a 5-6 quart pan, bring about 3 quarts water to a boil on high heat. Add spaghetti and cook, uncovered, until barely tender to bite, 8 to 9 minutes. Drain. (I cook my spaghetti a little longer, for a smoother texture) In a warm large serving bowl, combine butter, remaining parsley and oil, basil, and 4 tomato halves. Remove and discard most of the skin from the 4 halves; coarsely mash. Add pasta and mix. Add remaining baked tomatoes and pan juices. Gently mix, adding salt, pepper, and cheese to taste. Makes 9 cups, or 6 to 8 servings.
Thanks for the carrot suggestion!I plan to leave the seeds in the sauce...I have quite a few green peppers, so have decided to make a relish rather than put them in the sauce for canning.In the sauce I think I will just add garlic and seasonings (and carrot)...Here's the green pepper relish I want to make - will leave out the pimentos though and will cut the recipe down:GREEN PEPPER RELISH24 med. green peppers, cored & seeded12 med. onions3 c. sugar3 c. vinegar2 tbsp. salt2 tbsp. celery seed2 tbsp. mustard seed1 tbsp. crushed red pepper flakes4 oz. can pimientos, drained & dicedPut green peppers and onions through medium blade of meat grinder. Place in colander. Pour boiling water over vegetables; drain; repeat with more boiling water. Turn vegetables into large pot; add remaining ingredients. Bring to boil; cook over very low heat for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour into hot sterilized jars. Seal at once.LJ
I got fresh oregano, basil, thyme and garlic and I know these are no problem...A little oregano and a decent amount of minced garlic are almost a must. Oregano is very powerful, and bitter if overused - A little goes a long way. I don't know about thyme. I've never tried it. Like oregano, thyme is very powerful and I wouldn't want to end up with a sauce that tastes like it was made in a chemical lab. Some Basil is good.I also like using some ripe and/or salad olives. I often add a couple of finely chopped jalapeño peppers along with the bell peppers for (a bit of) heat, depending on whom I'm making the sauce for. Adding meat is probably not a good idea for storing, but I would definitely add some browned hamburger and ground pork with 20% fat before serving. The ground pork adds a lot of flavor. Some people don't care for mushrooms. I do. If you like them, I'd probably add them to the meat while it's browning along with some chopped sweet vidalia onions. I also like to add a dry wine - Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. I usually add sugar and butter at the end, to taste - Sugar can correct overuse of oregano, to a degree, and butter tends to mellow the overall sauce somewhat.
< I usually add sugar and butter at the end, to taste - Sugar can correct overuse of oregano, to a degree, and butter tends to mellow the overall sauce somewhat.>Cool tip about the sugar! I like a buttery taste in just about everything - oh yeah - hold a dandelion under my chin!I did put jalapenos in my sauce as well as onions and garlic. I love black olives, and can't believe I didn't think about adding it! Guess I was thinking all fresh ingredients from the garden.Lots of things can be added when actually using the sauce. In the meantime I am proud of myself for getting my second canning ever done!This week I am finally going to do the green pepper relish - quite a few large ones on the vine!Thanks!LJ

Bypassing androgen pathway dependence in advanced prostate cancer.
Bluemn, Eric Gregory
MetadataShow full item record
Continued reliance of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) on androgen receptor (AR) signaling has spurred the development of novel, potent antiandrogen therapeutics. The clinical use of successively more potent antiandrogens will likely generate CRPC that is independent of AR-driven pathways for survival. This is corroborated by an increase in AR-null neuroendocrine-like prostate cancers (NEPCa) following extended androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). However, there are currently no models of epithelial-like Androgen Pathway-Independent Prostate Cancer (APIPC) that have been generated from previously AR-positive models. We took a two-step approach to study APIPC in more detail: Aim 1) Utilize high-throughput functional genomics to screen for genes/pathways regulating ligand-independent CRPC growth and Aim 2) Develop a cell-line model of APIPC from an AR-positive cell line through Total Androgen Pathway Suppression, and identify the emergent growth pathway sufficient for androgen pathway-independent growth. In Aim 1 we identified a protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) regulatory subunit (PPP2R2C) as a suppressor of CRPC growth. Using in vitro molecular biology we demonstrated that loss of PPP2R2C promotes non-AR-mediated castration-resistant growth in previously androgen-dependent cell lines. We also found that PPP2R2C expression is downregulated in primary and metastatic prostate tumors compared to benign prostate epithelia. Furthermore, investigation of retrospective outcomes from patients surgically treated for primary prostate cancer indicated that low PPP2R2C expression is associated with a poor prognosis. Aim 2 successfully led to the development of an APIPC model cell line that does not express AR or androgen-regulated genes, and relies on an autocrine growth pathway for androgen-free survival. Furthermore, it does not express markers of neuroendocrine prostate cancer, a well-defined AR-null prostate cancer variant. By analyzing a panel of human metastases, we were able to identify a subset of tumors that also do not express AR, androgen-regulated genes, or markers of neuroendocrine prostate cancer. These data suggest that metastatic prostate tumors can compensate for total loss of androgen receptor signaling by deregulating alternative growth and survival pathways in vitro and in vivo. Our results identify signaling pathways that may be targeted to inhibit the development of AR-null disease.
