On this day in 1983, Ben Haggerty, also known as Macklemore was born in Seattle. The musician holds a bachelor degree from Evergreen State College and facilitated musical workshops called "Gateways for Incarcerated Youth" focused on education and cultural identity to reach kids. His hit single "Thrift Shop" has been viewed on YouTube over 300 million times, sold more than 2.2 million copies, and became the first song since 1994 to reach #1 on the Billboard charts without the support of a major record labor. You either love or hate Macklemore and his Thrift Shopping ways. But one thing is for sure; because of his love of Goodwill he is now rolling in dough. Its time to pop some links (see what I did there):
First things first, Kentucky currently holds the top 2014 recruiting class in the nation. Here is the screenshot to prove it:
Kentucky also snagged two recruits yesterday. It was announced that the Davis twins, Demitrious and Chris, will transfer from Pitt to play for the Big Blue and Derrick Kelly, Jr. came along for the ride as well.
Which Kentucky players will be under the most pressure in the upcoming season? Bleacher Report answers this question.
We are all anxious to see the football team debut on August 31st (72 days!), but there is a slight air of mystery around the team as well. SB Nation tells us the three things we know and don't know about Stoops' Troops.
As of right now, UK commit Karl Towns stands at 7'1″ and 250 lbs. Now, he is looking to add even more muscle to improve his game.
Bud Dupree and Avery Williamson were named to the 2013 College Football Performance Awards Defensive Watch List after their strong season last year.
Also, the Kentucky football program is embracing the High Performance revolution.
In celebration of Macklemore's Thrift Shopping ways, I leave you with this video of him singing (rapping?) his hit live. Spoiler? He jumps around. A lot:
The greatest recruiting class of all-time.
No. 9.
Those are some lofty expectations– especially for 18- and 19-year-old kids. But in Lexington, KY, aspirations like that are nothing out of the ordinary.
John Calipari's Wildcats bring in ESPN's top-ranked recruiting class in the country for the fourth time in five years. Despite a disappointing 2013 campaign, the 2012 Kentucky starting five consisting of three freshmen and two sophomores proved that Coach Cal can win it all with young talent. The Big Blue Nation has tasted trailblazing glory and it is hungry for more.
Is it possible for Cal's 'Cats to bring home the school's ninth national championship (and second in three years)? Absolutely. Is it within Kentucky's bounds to complete college basketball's first ever 40-0 undefeated season? In a word, yes– UK's 38-2 (16-0 SEC) 2012 squad was close. But which of these goals should be realistically expected?
If the Wildcats perform poorly and are ousted in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament, such as the fate of the John Wall-led 2010 team, is the season deemed a disappointment? If the blue & white makes its way to the Final Four only to fall in the national semifinals like the overachieving Brandon Knight-led 2011 Wildcats once did, is 2014 a letdown?
The NBA's Miami Heat are currently in the midst of a similar dilemma. LeBron James and Chris Bosh took their talents to South Beach almost three years ago in hopes of winning "not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven…" Larry O'Brien Championship Trophies. Coming into today, the Heat trail the San Antonio Spurs 2 games to 3. Even after three straight NBA Finals appearances in as many years together, most basketball followers can agree: a 1-2 record is a failure.
What say you, Big Blue Nation? What are your expectations for 2013-2014? Of how many lofty expectations do these young 'Cats have to fall short to be considered failures? I'm only asking the questions– I want you decide the answers.
Derrick Kelly from Havana, Fl. and a three star offensive lineman committed to the Cats today. He measures in at 6'5″ 268 lbs and is ranked by 247Sports at 82nd in the nation in his position. He chose UK over East Carolina, Florida, A&M, Florida Atlantic, and Florida International.
********UPDATE (10:39 pm)***********
This just happened everyone:
The San Antonio Spurs lead 3-2, everyone knows this. Game 6 is tonight in Miami, again redundant I know. Danny Green is a major candidate for Finals MVP, common sense right? If you were to ask any person who claims to have some knowledge of the NBA who they thought would be MVP coming in, it would have been the same three names. LeBron James. Tony Parker, or Tim Duncan all would have been the favorites. LeBron gets the nod because he is the best player in the world, Parker because he is the catalyst that has accelerated this offense all season, and Duncan because he is simply Duncan.
One more victory makes the Spurs 5-0 in the NBA Finals, which is second best all time to Michael Jordan's Bulls. When the Spurs have guys like Danny Green and Gary Neal shooting lights out you are probably thinking it has to be over right? Technically this series was destined for seven before it even started. There are no stats that support this claim, but you just feel like you don't want it to end, because it is simply that good of a series. Look at what has transpired so far, obviously the series tally is 3-2, but look closer at the individual games. Game 1 was a close one and the Spurs won by 4 in Miami, 92-88. Stealing a game in Miami was crucial for the Spurs, allowing them to not have to win 3 games in a row at home. Game 2 in Miami was a blowout, with the Heat winning 103-84. The bounce back game from the Heat came as a shock to no one, because if the Heat had gone down 0-2 the series would have been over. Calling Game 3 a blowout would be an understatement, as the Spurs dismantled the Heat by 36, with a final score of 113-77. Game 4 was again a blowout, as the Heat were again able to bounce back and win 109-93. By now you should be able to recognize a pattern here. No matter the score, each team wins the next game following a loss, so why would tonight be any different? Game 5 was a little closer on Sunday, with the Spurs winning 114-104. Sunday nights game had plenty of intriguing story lines, like Manu Ginobilli actually contributing with 24 points and 10 assists. Other Headlines from Game 5:
-Danny Green broke the record for 3s in a Finals series with 25, and Ray Allen is not happy. Green broke the former record of 22 (Ray Allen did it in the 2008 Finals in 6 games). Danny Green is now 25-38 from downtown in this series, and no that is not a typo. I'll reiterate, Danny Green is shooting 66 percent from the three point line in this series. -The Spurs shot 60 percent from the field, while the Heat only shot 43 percent. -Box score of Spurs starting five:
Tim Duncan, PF | 38 | 7-10 | 0-0 | 3-4 | 3 | 9 | 12 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 1 | 1 | +2 | 17 |

The Heat are on the brink of elimination, and to add to the pressure an interesting photo leaked today of LeBron's new shoes that are coming out. In the shoe it clearly states 2-time champion, claiming that LeBron won NBA Titles in the 2011-2012 season, and the 2012-2013 season. If this weird Illuminati type prediction is to come true, the Heat have to win the next two games. I think they win tonight simply for the fact that no team has won two consecutive games in this series, but then that would mean the Spurs would have to take game 7. Essentially if the Heat come back and rattle off two wins we can all rest assured that the Illuminati is still alive and well, and still pulling strings. @LittleNicky_KSR
Chris and Demitrious Davis will transfer to the University of Kentucky as walk-ons. They are both wide receivers, hail from Ohio, and originally went to Pitt. They were red-shirted last season as freshman and will have three years eligibility left for UK to work with.
Go Cats. Go twins.
One visit from Terrell Owens and a week later, Chad Johnson is being released from jail. The reason? He said I'm sorry to Broward County Circuit Judge Kathleen McHugh for butt-tapping his attorney in celebration during a hearing for a probation violation. McHugh accepted the apology which was released via the AP:
I just wanted to apologize for disrespecting the court last time. I apologize. I did have time to reflect on the mistakes I made in this courtroom.
Johnson's original sentence for the butt-tapping incident was 30 days, an extra three months of probation, and 25 hours of community service plus 2 counseling sessions per week, but as of now (7 days later) he is being set free.
The moral of this story? Don't slap your attorney's butt in a courtroom. But you'll probably only spend a week in jail for it anyway.
Today, we are celebrating Kentucky's momentary reign as the number one recruiting class in the nation. Right of this moment, Kentucky has the top recruiting class in the SEC with Tennessee in a comfortable second followed by A&M and Bama. Without Stoops we would not be celebrating this glorious achievement. It's June 18th and instead of counting down the days until Big Blue Madness we are overwhelmed in the constant football news. Does this make us a football school now? Or can we have a happy medium? Onto the links:
Yesterday, 247Sports.com named Kentucky target Matt Elam a five-star recruit and the 10th best recruit in the nation.
The Medina Gazette says there isn't very much middle ground on Nerlens Noel, especially concerning where he will go in the draft.
Remember Michael Avery? He's the 8th grader that committed to Kentucky under Billy Clyde. Mark Story of the Lexington Herald compares him (and other young BCG recruits) to Jairus Brents, the seventh grader that Stoops recently offered.
Cal offered two players in the 2015 class yesterday; Skal Labissiere the 6th best player in the class and Stephen Zimmerman, a seven footer who is the #2 player for 2015.
Calipari sent out a few tweets yesterday explaining what exactly what the mythical "Wildcat Code" is. Oh, and his tweet also included "LOL."
Bleacher Report lists the four things we have learned about the team that will run for nine.
Kentuckysports.com has a UK recruiting quiz that you can take. Test your knowledge!
And finally, today is Blake Shelton's 37th birthday. The man is not only married to Miranda Lambert and is a coach/judge on the NBC hit The Voice, but he also sings my dad's new favorite song:
Excuse me, Mr. Shelton. Kentucky boys do dougie… just ask Jarrod Polson.
Yesterday for a few glorious minutes, according to Rivals, Kentucky football was indeed number one. It was short-lived, but emblematic of the impact Stooooooops has had in such a short time at the healm in the Commonwealth. Yet I was interested to see where the Cats 2014 class stacks up in the other major recruiting services rankings that we have been neglecting. Take a look below.
Scout has us at #6 overall and #3 in the SEC behind Texas A&M and Alabama, but just above Tennessee and LSU (still sounds absurd).
ESPN has the Cats class at #11 overall, good for sixth in the SEC behind Alabama, Texas A&M, Tennessee, LSU, and Florida.
Still sounds pretty darn good BBN.
Although Kentucky has a center for the recruiting class in Karl Towns Jr., Calipari has stressed that he wants depth in all areas from this point forward. Calipari experienced what life is like with one big post player on the roster this season, and I cannot see him wanting to experience that ever again. Insert Goodluck Okonoboh into the picture. Okonoboh is from the same high school (Tilton) and AAU Team (BABC) that our flat topped friend Nerlens Noel played for. He visited this season for a UK game and to pal around with his close friend Noel. If Dakari Johnson leaves for the NBA, Okonoboh could become a priority for Calipari in 2014.
6'9″ 225 lbs
Interested Schools (in bold if offered): Indiana, Duke, Uconn, Missouri, Syracuse, Maryland, Kentucky
Strengths: Okonoboh may be smaller than Noel, but he has a very similar game on the defensive end. He is a serious shot blocking threat with more muscle to defend post up players. He has great athleticism which helps him perform at a high level despite being an undersized center. Okonoboh has a great sense of positioning on rebounds. Combined with his strength and quickness, he is one of the best rebounders in the class.
Weaknesses: Like Noel, Okonoboh has needed improvement in his offensive arsenal. While he has developed range as he progresses, it is still a work in progress to be a reliable mid range option. Another deficiency in his game is distributing the ball. Okonoboh is tough to run an offense through because he lacks court vision with the ball in his hand. If he develops a better skill at finding the open man, the rest of his offensive game should blossom as defenders will not key on his attacks to the basket as much.
While writing posts for my The Ones That Got Away series I usually have to go back and look at where players were projected pre-season in order to get a feel for whether their 2013 season panned out. Thanks to the magic of WayBack Machine, an amazing website that allows you to see how websites looked in the past, doing so is pretty easy. One thing that stood out to me while doing research for the posts was that, before the season, Ryan Harrow was actually projected in the lottery in several mock drafts. This got me thinking: How accurate are NBA Mock Drafts and how much do they change after the season has been played? So, with the magic of the internet, I went back and checked several of the biggest Mock Draft sites and compared their preseason (October/November) mock drafts to their current ones (which can be seen below).
Draft Express

Well in case you did not know, last night was the 2013 Miss USA Pageant. So as is the case with these types of pageants, one contestant usually ends up biffing an answer during the Q&A session. Pretty normal occurrence you are probably saying right? Well unfortunately for Utah's own Marissa Powell, she ended up becoming an overnight sensation for what is arguably one of the most incoherent things ever said on TV and then typed up on this site (which is a big deal). Now the question Powell was asked was about the male-female income disparity in this country, to which she gave us this gem of a reply below:
"I think we can relate this back to education and how we are continuing to try to strive to (awkward pause) figure out how to create jobs right now. That is the biggest problem and I think, especially the men, are um, seen as the leaders of this and so we need to try and figure out how to create education better so we can solve this problem."
Now while it's easy to jump on the bashing train, you have to realize that the question she was asked was a kind of difficult one for her to have answered on-the-spot. However, I still think she could have articulated something a little more coherent than that above quote. I mean come on, the phrase "figure out how to create education better" was dropped, which in no form of English makes any sense. You're better than this Miss Utah.

Blake Bone, the 47th best WR in the nation and a four-star recruit, just cut his list to four via twitter and as you can see from the tweet above, the Cats made the cut.
Come be a hero.
This is not a test. Kentucky's 2014 commit Ryan Flannigan just got his Rivals' recruiting ranking and as a result, Kentucky momentarily had the top recruiting class in the nation. Guys, I think I just saw a pig flying by my window. They have now moved back to two as a result of Rivals taking Tyre Brady's committment off of UK's board (again). But either way, Cats fans can officially say we had the number one recruiting class (for about 10 minutes at least). Kentucky will probably move back up once they put Brady's committment back up.
Last night around 11 o'clock the latest Miss USA was crowned. Erin Brady of South Glastonbury, Connecticut "upset" Miss Alabama to take the crown back to the constitution state. The infamous "question" round which usually throws the sparkly pageant hopefuls for a loop didn't really phase Miss Connecticut, who answered a question about the U.S. Supreme Court's decisions regarding DNA testing criminals. The new Miss USA will now compete in the Miss Universe pageant on November 9th. I could go into total girly girl mode and analyze the whole pageant (I used to work in a prom dress shop) but I will spare you all those details (you're welcome). Onto the links:
Bleacher Report says that Kentucky's historic 2014 recruiting class is just getting silly now.
In case you missed it yesterday, Derek Kief committed to Alabama instead of UK. Also, he committed via baby.
A lot of media members are throwing a fit over Stoops offering 13-year-old Jairus Brents a scholarship to UK even though he isn't even in high school yet.
Dominique Hawkins owned the court in the Kentucky All-Stars loss against Indiana. Hawkins came out of the game tallying 33 points.

The Golden State Warriors are one of the most exciting teams in the NBA. They are young, fast, and they play hard for one of the loudest crowds in the league. The Warriors are coming off a Western Conference Semifinals appearance where they took the Spurs to 6 games, while Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Harrison Barnes, and Mark Jackson (his coaching improved throughout the playoffs) all grew right in front of our eyes. They don't have a pick in this year's NBA Draft, but that doesn't mean that they won't acquire any.
Team Needs:
The Warriors are likely to lose Jarrett Jack and Carl Laundry to free-agency this summer.
Power Forward – With David Lee having the starting PF position locked, the Warriors need to find a backup that can give rest for Lee while also developing his skill set. This would be a great opportunity for GS to take a young player who isn't going to be pressured into playing a ton of minutes right from the start.
Point Guard — Stephen Curry isn't a true point guard, but there are plenty of them in this year's draft to replace Jack (Jeff Teague, for example).
With no picks available, the Warriors will be forced to make a trade in order to acquire one. Mark Jackson likes his core group of guys (Curry, Thompson, Barnes, Bogut, Lee, Green, and Ezeli), so I don't see them parting ways with any of them, but they may be able to throw someone like Richard Jefferson and some cash into a deal that looks good to other teams. If Golden State gets a pick, it'll be mid-first round. You may see them take someone like Tony Mitchell (PF, North Texas, 6'8″, SO) or Shane Larkin (PG, Miami, 5'10″, SO). The Warriors won't like the idea of throwing Larkin directly into the starting rotation, so they'll probably look for a more experienced player in the free-agency market to control the young guys. Tony Mitchell would be a good pick because of his athletic ability that fits right into the offensive system of Golden State, and he would be able to develop underneath of Lee and Bogut.
The Warriors like young studs that are able to run, defend, and hustle. Tony Mitchell and Shane Larkin will do all three of those things, and if they listen to Mark Jackson's advice and put it in their game, the sky is the limit for these raw players. Golden State has needs, it'll just be interesting to see if they decide to meet the need through the draft or through the free agent market. Either way, you have to trust that the Warriors will pick a high character, team player.

With all this talk of the new Rupp arena renovations fans cannot help but get excited, but what would the UK fan's dream arena have?
The John Wall Ball Room
In 2009 John Wall twisted his arm and instantly BBN fell in love. The internet was flooded with videos of grandmas, babies, and celebrities doing the "John Wall." Imagine if there was a room where UK fans could get together and do the "John Wall" – and maybe the crazy thing Archie did at Big Blue Madness. If fans are lucky maybe Mathew Mitchel would stop by and do his MC Hammer impersonation.
The Willie Cauley-Stein 3D Glasses
It's no secret that Rupp is a little outdated. Entertainment technology today is at an all-time high. UK fans want the most innovative arena that coal money can buy, so a 4 sided 3D Jumbotron that hangs in the center for everyone to see is a no brainer. Now I know some people can't stand 3D but just give it a chance. I think your mind will change when you see J Randle put a player on a poster. To add that UK flair the glasses will be in the Willy Cauley-Stein style.
The "Jorts" Denim Seat Cushions
All the fans in the top row know where I'm coming from on this one. How many times have you had to sit on those freaking awful bleachers? Is it too much to ask for a cushion? No, why not go all out and cover them bad boys in some denim. The denim will bring back old memories of when you would sit in your father's lap and watch the games.
The Anthony Davis "Uni-Browser"
I love being in Rupp. When you fill any place with a bunch of UK fans you know it's going to be a good time. The only downside to a packed arena is the cell phone signal. I hate when I take a picture with Kyle Wiltjer, and I can't post it to twitter right then. That is why I think Rupp needs to install the Anthony Davis Uni-Browser. This wireless network will be strong enough to "swat" your signal strength out the roof.
The University of Alabama. Kief announced his committment with this really cool video:
Is this the first time somebody has committed via baby???

"A welcome and intriguing addition to the growing body of tantric literature available in English."Altar
"Tsong-kha-pa's synthesis and elucidation of the Vajrayana vows is a welcome and intriguing addition to the growing body of tantric literature available in English. This text (and Sparham's careful reading of it) highlights Tsong-kha-pa's distinctive breadth and interpretive strategies, specifically his sophisticated text criticism, deference to Indian sources, and overriding concern to demonstrate that the morality taught in a tantric context builds on exoteric Mahayana Buddhism."Altar
"Another masterpiece by Tsongkhapa has just appeared in print: Tantric Ethics: An Explanation of the Precepts for Buddhist Vajrayana Practice. In this work, Tsongkhapa carefully lays out the precepts for tantric practitioners and addresses dilemmas such as those faced by Tibetan monks who vow to uphold the fundamental monastic precepts against violence and simultaneously take the tantric vow not to refrain from violence when it's called for. Questions like this were of vital importance throughout Tibetan Buddhist history and generated an enormous body of specialized literature. Translator Gareth Sparham labored for twenty-five years in his attempt to unravel and explain the complexity of Tsongkhapa's account. His introduction orients the reader with a thorough grounding in the issues at stake and the terms in which they were debated. Tantric Ethics offers a glimpse into one of the most important debates in Tibetan Buddhist thought, and provides fertile ground for reflection on ways to define a Buddhist morality."Buddhadharma: The Practitioner's Journal
"A wonderful book that contains a masterly translation of Je Tsongkhapa's explanation of the tantric vows, providing a clear explanation of each vow and the criteria for determining when a downfall has occurred. A must-read for practitioners and scholars alike."Mandala
"Any work by Je Tsongkhapa is bound to be profound and clarifying. The present discourse entitled Fruit Clusters of Siddhis fully meets this expectation. Skillfully and lucidly translated here by Gareth Sparham, who teaches Tibetan language at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Fruit Clusters of Siddhis represents an authoritative exposition of the tantric vows. As with the other writings of Je Tsongkhapa, the present text overwhelmingly demonstrates that we are in the presence of a superb master of Yoga whose knowledge of the scriptures is unparalleled and whose own consummate realization allows him to speak with great insight and authority."Georg Feuerstein, Traditional Yoga Studies Interactive
Gareth Sparham, Translator Gareth Sparham, a monk for over twenty years, holds a Ph D. in Asian Studies from the University of British Columbia. He lives in India.

Weight Watchers International was founded in the early 1960's by Jean Nidetch. It, like many other weight management services, claim their information and advice is based on the latest nutritional research. I challenge that claim by stating flat out that their advice is based on conventional wisdom?
With so many people being overweight and suffering from other chronic diseases while following the dictums of conventional wisdom, one has to wonder about conventional wisdom. If "modern concepts" are actually still based on the conventional wisdom of the 1960s, is the "modern advice" actually valid? For a fact conventional wisdom does not address the cause? And what is the cause? It is literally the food most people eat and most of it is thought to be healthy food. But which foods are actually the best and which are the worst? For a fact MOST of the food choices recommended by the majority of weight-management services and even doctors are very unhealthy choices!
To prove my point, I invite you to read the essay on this Web page plus another one on Busting the Healthy Food Myths.
Watching Your Weight?
If you want to lose weight and are thinking low-fat, portion control, vitamin supplements, specially concocted foods, lots of fruit, and eating discipline then you are battling symptoms rather than the cause! It's time you learned something about food. This Web site is loaded with information on which foods are best and which are worst.
America's so-called "best" foods do not provide the balanced nutritional needs human bodies demand. That is why so many people suffer from chronic disease. Knowing why our foods are deficient is the key to maintaining optimal health.
This essay not only explains why our food system is flawed, but points out the best foods all humans should eat to optimize body function. The answers as to what are best foods and worst foods will surprise you.
There is no question that "we are what we eat." But what should we eat?
This essay explains where our nation's misguided dietary notions are focused and where they should be focused.
For decades scientists have been telling us some foods are sources for chronic disease.
Yet Americans continue to eat the worst foods every day throughout the day. Then they wonder why they are not healthy.
Yes, Virginia, there is such a thing as "best foods" that are good for our bodies.

Best and Worst Foods
This essay not only explains why our food system is flawed, but points out which foods all humans should eat to optimize body function, lose weight, and address chronic diseases. The answers will surprise you. This essay just touches the tip of the iceberg about what is well known in scientific circles and it begins and ends by helping you understand what all the fuss is about regarding Omega-3 fatty acids. For more about what is and is not proper food for man -- and why -- please check out some of the other essays listed above.
Best and Worst Foods
I've analyzed the recommendations of many of the more popular nutritionists. By far too many of them follow the government's lead, which has already influenced the thinking of the masses. Therefore their safe common knowledge approach is readily accepted as practical and proper by the masses, most educators, the popular press and, of course, is supported by Big Business who serve the masses who vote with their dollars. It's also the approach most physicians use because common knowledge is backed by USDA guidelines, therefore it's the "safe" way to discuss nutrition even if it doesn't work.
Other nutritionists are supplement-oriented rather than food-oriented. They believe all foods (and it doesn't matter in what combination) lack the nutrient mix man requires. They also tend to believe that most foods are contaminated with toxic compounds. These anti-food types are easy to identify because they tell you to eat no fat, little meat, and little of anything else except tofu. They are the driving force behind our nation's low-fat craze. They also recommend a whole host of supplements for curing this and that and for balancing one's diet of crummy food. These misguided types actually believe they can prescribe the right supplements to perfectly match your body's requirements -- and do a far better job of it than God's old-fashioned provisions which are real foods.
Still other nutritionists are quite scientifically based. They expound on the fatty acids, antioxidants, glycemic indexes, calories, protein, and more. Yet they still want you to eat lean meat in moderation which is no more than three ounces per day. That's because they fear meat unless it's fish or wild game. Of course, the livestock products they fear come from grain-fed livestock, and sad to say, they do not realize there are folks raising grass-fed livestock whose total nutrient profiles replicate that of wild critters.
Only a very small handful of nutritionists and dietitians today have the Big Picture well in mind. They are scientifically oriented. They understand that the nutritional needs of all animal life on our planet are nearly the same. They know which foods are foreign to man and all animal life, which are concocted, and which are loaded with harmful substances that take their toll on our health over time. These professionals tell us America's huge food machine has deviated far afield in its quest for cheap, convenient, and tasty food. If the powers that be listened to these folks, nearly the entire American food production system would have to change. The cost would be enormous and very disruptive to the economy if it took only a decade to make the change. So, even if our countrymen started listening to the professional scientific minority and wanted to change, it would still be many decades before our country would once again produce real food for the masses.
The Cradle of Life
What are real foods? Is there one foundation food that all animal life requires for optimal health? For some background, let's review a few selected excerpts from Exploring the Secrets of the Sea by William J. Cromie, an oceanographer, that was published in 1962.
The ocean was the cradle of life.
Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and oxygen make up 99% of all living matter. Hence, at the very moment of its formation, the ocean contained all the ingredients of living substance.
There are on earth today certain green and purple bacteria (sometimes called microbes or germs) which are capable of using the sun's energy to help them break down organic matter. These are probably decedents of the first organisms that increased their efficiency in this way. But organisms such as these only decreased the amount of ready-made organic material still further, while the amount of carbon dioxide released as a waste product rapidly increased. Before the organic material was completely used up, however, certain green colored cells evolved a way to make their own food from the carbon dioxide, water, and some of the inorganic materials in the oceanic soup. They did this by using energy from the sun together with the chemical action of the green pigment. This pigment is known as chlorophyll (green leaf) and the process of making organic material as photosynthesis (putting together by light).
This was a tremendous step forward. For the first time the organisms no longer had to depend on the food supply of the ocean: they could make their own. These first green cells were the ancestors of all the prolific forests and the grasslands that Charles Darwin marveled at on his trip around the world. Indeed, they were the ancestors of all the plant kingdom.
Cromie reemphasized the importance of green plants with this quote: Diatoms and other one-celled plants are the grasses of the sea. They take the place of prairies and rich pastures on land, and are grazed on by all marine vegetarians.
Knowing that leafy green plants, not grain, are the foundation foods for all animals in the sea and on land is wisdom indeed. We must keep this in mind as we develop our list of good and bad foods. Additionally, we must respect the anthropologist's view of events. He has studied early man, and from careful analysis of bones, discards from around their campsites, and environmental factors has been able to piece together what man ate for millions of years before the invention of agriculture (grain growing and domestic livestock), events which occurred between 4,000 and 10,000 years ago. In the Big Picture that is only yesterday!
The Good Foods
One of the world's most renowned scientists doing research in this field is Loren Cordain, Ph.D., a professor in the Health and Exercise Science Department at Colorado State University. In his book, The Paleo Diet, he does an outstanding job of pointing out the good foods and the bad foods. His Web site is very educational. Here are the high points of his lists.
Wild animal food products dominated Paleolithic diets or as some people refer to it, the Caveman diet or the Hunter Gatherer diet. For millions of years those foods consistently provided the same balance of fatty acids, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Furthermore, the protein diets of early man were quite high compared to modern standards.
Virtually all of the carbohydrates Paleolithic people ate came from non starchy, wild fruits and vegetables. Fruits and vegetables provide antioxidants, phytochemicals, and fiber. (They help prevent heart disease, cancer, and osteoporosis.)
Early man ate some nuts, which are a rich source of mono unsaturated fats, but they were seasonal. That means he ate them rarely, not frequently. (The best nuts are macadamia nuts yet those and all other nuts are not worth eating other than for a rare treat.)
A mix of these foods (meats, eggs, and fish from grass/plankton eaters or eaters of the animals that ate grass/plankton, plus vegetables, some tart fruits sparingly and seasonally, and very rarely if ever some nuts) without a doubt provided nearly 100% of early man's nutrient intake.
The Bad Foods
Paleolithic people ate no dairy products, hardly ever ate cereal grains, didn't salt their food, didn't have refined sugar, and sporadically ate honey -- when they found it. They did not eat legumes (soybeans, all other beans, black-eyed peas, tofu, peanuts, etc.). They did not eat processed foods with grain additives (i.e., high-fructose corn syrup), partially hydrogenated oils (trans fatty acids), nor did they cook with processed vegetable, fruit, or nut oils. And they did not eat high-starch foods such as potatoes and yams!
Modern Americans use a lot of vegetable oils. Early man did not. Consequently, nearly all of these oils should be avoided altogether. Among the worst are coconut, corn, soybean, safflower, wheat germ, olive, avocado, walnut, canola, and cottonseed. Only a few oils are safe in moderation. The best are flaxseed and fish. In all cases oils are major doses of fat and that in itself is questionable. Maybe the best fat of all is grass-fed animal fat!
Change Is Required
Most of America's food is not real. All livestock products come from grain-fed critters. Most concocted (processed) foods have grain additives as a sweetener for flavor and/or as a filler to lower the cost of the processed foods. Most packaged and many canned foods have partially hydrogenated oils added to them to preserve freshness, extend shelf life, and create convenience -- all of which keeps food cheap. Our nation is hooked on soft drinks (from colas and aids to juices), which are loaded with corn syrup. And Americans love deep-fat-fried foods (including potatoes) -- especially those cooked with all the wrong oils.
Except for improving the quality and freshness of fruits and vegetables (more locally produced fruits and vegetables), nearly every other aspect of America's huge food machine faces major change if it is to provide truly nutritional food to the American consumer. This transition to real food will cost trillions of dollars and will take at least several generations before it can be completed. Consequently, if you want to live to a ripe old age in good health without drugs and operations, you must take matters into your own hands. The system won't help you. It still relies on the USDA's 50-year-old Food Pyramid or its modern derivatives that say we should eat lots of grain and grain products, some fruits and vegetables, and a dab of meat and dairy products.
Modern-Day Real Foods
You can eat real food today. Wild fish is available. Wild game is replicated by the meats and eggs of grass-fed domestic critters, which are readily available. Most of us can raise our own fruits and vegetables, purchase fresh frozen, or find stores that specialize in fresh fruits and vegetables. The list of processed real foods is quite short, but there's enough if we aren't too demanding. We can easily avoid foods with additives of grain and/or partially hydrogenated oils by simply reading ingredient labels. We can easily change cooking and salad oils, cut back on salt, and cut way back on refined sugar, potatoes, and legumes.
If our diet was restricted to grass-fed livestock products, wild fish, vegetables, some tart fruit, and just a few nuts a year in that order, we'd quickly learn that these real foods supplied 100% of all of our body's nutrient requirements in exactly the proper proportions except for vitamin D. To get our vitamin D we'd have to spend 15 minutes or so outside. (Our skin absorbs vitamin D from the sun's rays.)
Is the change to the "best food" worth the effort? Well, peer-reviewed nutritional research indicates a balanced diet of real foods dramatically decreases the incidence of ulcerative colitis, ADHD, arthritis, asthma, autism, cancer, chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes, heart disease, obesity, stroke, bipolar, osteoporosis, hay fever, allergies, gout, autoimmune disorders, thyroditis, multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythmematosus, acne, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, Crohn's and a whole host of other body failings. Is that worth the price of change? Or should we ask if we are up to the task? Are you? Most folks aren't. They could be dying from a chronic disease that could be cured by diet and they'll refuse to change. That's where most American's are. Instead of change they'd rather gripe and die miserably with a mouth full of "traditional" food.
Ted Slanker
Below are two totally different "food pyramids." The first is from the USDA. Yes, they've updated it, but basically the thinking behind the new one is the same as the old one. The second one we put together. The USDA's list of "good foods" is bad for your health. The second pyramid, representing The Real Diet of Man, will improve your health the more you eat because it recommends only real foods. Remember, the foundation food for all animal life is the green leaf. When your nutrient stream strays away from the green-leaf base body failure is the result. Eating proper foods not only prevents disease, but can cure many chronic diseases! For more about that check out True Health Stories.
Here's the USDA's Old Food Pyramid.
Here's our Caveman Food Pyramid.

Destination Weddings in the Coastal South
As a growing number of couples return to traditional ceremonies reflecting family values, they are making choices for settings that express individuality. Since their celebration is also a time of reuniting families and friends, the setting becomes even more important.
The Jekyll Island Club Hotel offers an exquisite range of indoor and outdoor wedding venues. The Club Ballroom, which accommodates up to 250 people for a reception and 120 for sit-down meals, opens through four sets of double doors onto a veranda. Frequently, a bride situates the hors d' oeuvres and cocktail bar on the veranda, and guests enjoy the opportunity to circulate inside and outside.
The Hotel's collection of historic accommodations include Crane Cottage and Cherokee, adding a total of 23 additional rooms and suites. The Italian Renaissance style cottages also have 2,000 square feet of beautiful event space. Cherokee, the smaller of the two, has 10 charming rooms and suites, and its great room is delightful for smaller gatherings of up to 50 people. Crane Cottage has a landscaped formal sunken garden with original fountains and upper terrace; this outdoor space is perfect for wedding ceremonies up to 250 people. Take a virtual tour of Crane Garden. Additionally, Crane has a fountain courtyard with arcaded loggia and seating for up to 130 people. Faith Chapel, with its Tiffany stained glass window, is across the lane from Crane Cottage.

For a more intimate setting, the hotel has four event rooms, each of which accommodates thirty people or some may be used together, to accommodate larger groups. The Pulitzer, Federal Reserve, Aldrich and Alexander rooms all have twelve-foot ceilings; some have large bay windows and others, floor-to-ceiling windows that look west over the Marshes of Glynn. The fireplace in each room is accented with an ornate white mantel piece which matches the wainscoting.
The Pulitzer Room, the choice of many brides for a small formal dinner or luncheon, is dominated by a large fireplace with original mirror above the mantel. The rich deep wedgewood blue of this lovely room contrasts with white woodwork and fireplace. This room opens in the Aspinwall Room, a circular sunroom which then accesses the Riverfront Veranda.
The most exquisite piece of leaded art glass in the hotel is the focal point of the Federal Reserve Room. Its extraordinary colors, vivid in the afternoon sunlight – yellows, golds, and ambers – change to shades of light green and blue as the day wanes. Its hues dictate the colors of the room, light lemon with pastel accents. Opening through double wooden pocket doors is the Aldrich Room, a complement to the Federal Reserve Room, sharing its color scheme and overall plan. It has a bay window looking onto the club courtyard.
Decorated in a rich Victorian shade of terra cotta, the Alexander Room's most attractive feature is a bay window with an exquisitely colored, leaded art glass skylight with design elements similar to those seen in the works of Louis Comfort Tiffany.
The DuBignon Room easily accommodates 70 people for dinner or 100 for a reception. Located in the main section of the hotel, it opens onto the fountain courtyard and has a distinctive charm all its own.
Jekyll's beach is magnificent any season. The hotel's Beach Pavilion, a spacious open-air structure, accommodates 60 people for dinner and 150 for a seaside reception and of course if you want your feet in the sand, a traditional beach ceremony. The beauty of the sea and the sound of the surf provide an exceptional setting for non-traditional, alfresco wedding events or rehearsal dinners.
The Executive Chef is rapidly achieving a reputation for serving the finest and most beautifully presented cuisine in this part of the country. The hotel's pastry chef has numerous styles of wedding cakes and groom's cakes, which he prepares with masterful creativity. The catering staff, dedicated to a standard of excellence in every aspect of wedding event service, considers that no detail is too trivial, and no effort too great, in ensuring the satisfaction of our guests. They are prepared to make certain your coastal Georgia wedding is perfection.
The Morgan Center is the hotel's newest and largest venue for weddings-up to 300 guests! The Morgan Center boasts a mezzanine, outdoor terrace and lawn-ideal for your ceremony and a 4900 sq. ft. main floor for receptions and seated dinners.

Post by Yancy Franks with Encino IT GroupCreating a next-generation data center in today's dynamic, virtualized environment presents a number of challenges for enterprises and service providers. Yet, ongoing power and cooling cost along with pressure to be more efficient are forcing many data center operators to look for ways to reduce costs and tackle the complexity of their legacy IT infrastructures. One way many organizations attack this problem, as highlighted in this article from HP is to consolidate the existing number of systems, using virtualization.
Most organizations, especially in today's economy, need a well-designed IT infrastructure that:• Provides high levels of: service, availability, server utilization, performance, application isolation, flexibility, and automation at a reasonable cost• Supports high fluctuation of traffic and demands• Rapidly deploys, grows, shrinks, and changes server environments in line with constantly changing business requirements• Provides access to the precise capacity they need at any point in time, but flexible enough to keep that capacity separate from the capacity utilized by other customers.• Supports fastest time-to-market for new services
This mod for Clear Cloud Network is targeted to those browsers interested in a next-generation data center blueprint specifically designed to eliminate costly IT and application silos. This paper module highlights some common usage scenarios using the different HP-UX virtualization technologies on these servers. There are many cases studies presented here, perhaps one similar to your situation....view the informative videos......

Operation Downtown works hard to ensure Des Moines' core is an area people keep coming back to, by doing such things as picking up litter, helping locate vehicles in parking ramps, and providing money for special projects, representatives say.

You need to use SQL server validation rather than Windows validation of login in your database.
I need to clarify my question. When a Talend job is exported, a .sh script is created. Part of the job connects to a SQL Server database. My actual question is -- if I run the .sh script from Linux, is there anything else required to make the SQL Server connection, since I am running the script from Linux?
I think this is no matter with OS.
Just create metadata->Connections or use components about SQL Server.
Then configure all parameters correctly, such as Login, Password, Server, Port, DB, Schema and so on so forth.
Feel free to ask any questions if you encounter some errors.
What is required by Talend in order to access Microsoft SQL Server from Linux?

text: Among the exciting, leading edge research projects being carried out at New York Weill Cornell's Center for Reproductive Medicine and Infertility is the unprecedented identification and isolation of human spermatogenic cells (young sperm cells) from men with testicular failure and azoospermia. Sperm can be recovered from the tissue of a testicular biopsy and then prepared for use with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in in vitro fertilization (IVF). IVF with ICSI is the treatment of choice for male factor infertility and allows the achievement of pregnancies with sperm from subfertile men who are unable to conceive by standard IVF methods. The close collaboration of the Center's reproductive endocrinologists and infertility specialists with urologists from New York Weill Cornell's Center for Male Reproduction and Microsurgery yields outstanding results in the arena of male factor infertility. In fact, the first pregnancies after sperm retrieval for testicular failure were reported by New York Weill Cornell Center and their published results are among the highest in the world.

When I travel, whether for business or pleasure, I do almost everything possible to maintain my fitness regimen. Granted, It isn't always easy and I'm sometimes unsuccessful, but regardless, my sneakers, my workout clothing and my iPod are always packed.
Recently, while away with a friend, she seemed surprised when I told her I would be heading to the gym during our weekend away. I don't know why I felt compelled to launch into an explanation, but I did. I found myself making excuses for my lifestyle and defending something that is natural to me. At that moment, I realized that exercise really means different things to different people. For me, it is a way of life...a way to keep me sane. For others, it might purely be a way to keep off, or for that matter, lose weight.
If there is a perception that exercise represents deprivation, I can totally understand why people would loathe exercise while on vacation. However, there are so many benefits to maintaining your exercise regimen while away. Focusing on the positives might make you think twice next time you whisk yourself away to paradise.
- Regularity: I don't know about you, but when I travel, my digestive tract tends to get a little out of whack. Things don't necessarily move as freely as I'd like. Exercising helps to maintain proper bowel function and reduce constipation. Further, if you are like me, you may get a little bloated from eating differently while you are away. Exercising will also help to alleviate that gassy feeling.
- Energy Levels: When you travel, it is easy to feel tired and out of sorts...especially when crossing time-zones. Exercising helps you to maintain your energy levels and stamina so that you can be productive (if working) or energized for fun.
- Sleep Patterns: Just as exercise helps you to maintain your energy levels, it also helps to ensure a good night's sleep. While on the road, it can be difficult to get the sleep you need. Exercising helps to maintain good sleep patterns, mood and overall well-being while you are away.
- Rehab: Chances are when you are traveling you may be indulging in a few extra alcoholic 'bevies'. Believe it or not, if you feel a little sluggish or even hung over the day after a big night out, exercising will make you feel a lot better. You will sweat out all of the toxins, giving your body a boost in the recovery process.
- Weight Maintenance: Although I hate to focus on weight here, it is true. If you indulge during your getaway, exercising while you are away will help you to 'stay on track' so that you don't have to work extra hard when you get home. In essence, you will avoid the "Vacation 5" or the couple extra pounds from your trip.
- Stress Relief: Even if you are traveling for pleasure, the process can cause added stress. Whether it be flight delays, long security lines or lengthy check-in processes, the stress easily mounts. Exercising will help you to decompress and 'let-go' of the stress that built up from your travel.
- Muscle Fatigue: Lifting heavy bags and jostling through airports and crowds can cause pain and fatigue in your back, shoulders, neck and feet, just to name a few areas. Exercising can help to stretch out muscles and release the tension that settles in your muscles.
So next time you are on vacation, think about how a ½ hour walk or some stretching can benefit you...making you feel a little more yourself. Do you maintain your exercise regimen while away? What are your reasons for doing so?

It's amazing to me how much it's changed in so short a time. Remember when you didn't "friend" someone, you "added" them? Remember SuperPoke? Remember the "20 Things About Me" note trend?

More mind-blowing than anything: remember when you didn't have Facebook?
