I was listening to NPR while getting ready for work on Friday morning, as I do, when this story from Planet Money came on, and ugh, you guys. In "Meet Claudia, the High-Tech Cow," Adam Davidson tells us all about how today's dairy cows are more machine than animal, their every action carefully monitored, controlled, and adjusted for optimum milk-producing capability.
It's so gross, you guys! Dairy is absolutely disgusting. As are the extremes of capitalism: "The free market forced that to happen," he says. "Because either you were going to make a lot of milk … quickly and efficiently … or you wouldn't be in business." Money makes the world go round! And turns cows into literal milk machines! Fuck a living creature, we need cheap milk from perfectly replicated robots. Of course the story says nothing about the cows' living conditions or quality of life, what with them having none to speak of. To wit: "Claudia," the cow "Ferrari," gets a name, while the cows that aren't as genetically perfect are just numbers.
Technology is great and I am happy if modern science is solving our problems. But when technological advances detract from the value of other creatures' lives, how valuable is it?

Top 10 links of the week: a hopscotch game through the playground of veganism! »
Your cute pet video of the week! I just love how intense the kitty is. Like, so intense.
File under things that are actually a big deal—Livestock, antibiotics and superbugs: IT'S ALL TRUE! Original story in NPR but Grist has a great discussion of it.
Philly.com has a message for you: not all vegans are white! I really never got this stereotype, maybe because I'm from Philadelphia and the first vegans I ever knew were Black Panthers. Of course, it makes sense if there are more white vegans in the US than other ethnicities because there are more white people in the US than other ethnicities. Bonus: the piece features Vegan Mainstream's mom!
New Yorkers, take the A/C to Nostrand Avenue and get ready for an affordable fake meat extravaganza! One of Vegansaurus' very favorite sites, Broke-Ass Stuart, is here to guide you through this reasonably-priced TVP adventure!
You've probably heard, but in case you haven't, Mary Kay and some other brands have started animal testing again. Good idea? People are more aware of the cruelty-free label then ever. I hope this tanks them.
From Scientific America, a dingo named Sterling used a table to steal name tags. He's at some kind of "Centre" that I don't know about but still, animals are supre cool.
From Treehugger: Global warming could give rise to miniature animals. I am trying SO HARD not to be excited. I'm not, I swear.
A New York Times blog writes about Blossom's new bakery in Manhattan!
National Geographic presents the "Rhino Wars" in pictures. Pretty sad stuff. Poor rhinos.
Fit Sugar has the lowdown on the top vegan protein sources. It's a very short list. But I like to see us in the mainstream!
Vanity Fair has an interview with one of my faves, Brigitte Bardot! She gets into her love and activism for animals.
"I am not playing political games," she says. "I don't care. I don't bother with that. I belong to no party and I am militant for no one. All of my causes, including the most radical, are motivated by the defense of animals."
I love you, BB!

Paul Shapiro presents: Animal News You Can Use! »
It's Paul Shapiro's Animal News You Can Use! Yay!
I'm honored to be on CNN Headline News this weekend with the great Jane Velez-Mitchell discussing progress for pigs and HSUS's latest undercover investigations into gestation crate factory farms. Check it out.
In a new piece about HSUS, the editor of Pork Magazine calls us "well organized, well funded and relentless." Always nice to be able to agree on something…
NPR did a nice piece on Morning Edition this past Friday about the federal effort to ban barren battery cages and require "eggs from caged hens" labeling on egg cartons. While we're on the topic of NPR, Marketplace had a great piece by the awesome Mark Bittman about why Americans are eating fewer animals.
Want to read a new interview with Wayne Pacelle about his campus dining hall advocacy when he was in college? Your wish = my command.
But wait, there's more!
Compassion Over Killing this morning released a new undercover investigation at a gestation crate factory farm in Iowa, a state where big ag interests are currently trying to ban such exposés with an "ag-gag" bill. Check it out and share.
The media coverage on our announcement that McDonald's is moving to end gestation crate confinement in its US supply chain was significant. There's too much to include here, but just a few selected excerpts:
CNN Money: "McDonald's said it will get its pork suppliers to phase out the use of immobilizing cages for pregnant pigs, a move that was applauded by the Humane Society of the United States, but not the pork industry."
MSNBC: "Earthquake in the pig business: McDonald's to end use of restraining crates"
NY Times: "The buying power of McDonald's adds a significant new dimension to the war on the practice."
Chicago Sun-Times editorial board: "Now let's ban those torture pens for pigs in Illinois."
NY Times blog: "In the world of big-time meat supply, there are two kinds of producers: those who sell to McDonald's and those wish they could."
Chicago Tribune: "By setting the process in motion, McDonald's could be providing the tipping point to change in the $97 billion pork industry."
Lincoln Journal Star: "In calling for phasing out gestation crates for pregnant hogs, the world's largest restaurant chain will put much more pressure on pork producers than any state ever could."

Paul Shapiro presents: Animal News You Can Use! »
It's Paul Shapiro's Animal News You Can Use! Yay!
First, some good news: A bill (H.R. 3798) was introduced in the Congress this week to ban barren battery cages for laying hens, ban starvation molting, require egg producers to label "eggs from caged hens" on their cartons, and more. You can see a joint statement from major animal protection organizations on why they support this bill, and a joint statement from nearly all of the agribusiness trade groups on why they oppose it. Who would you side with?
I was on NPR's All Things Considered yesterday talking about the above effort to help laying hens. Check it out.
Some bad news: The U.S. Supreme Court this week struck down portions of a law passed in California shortly after HSUS's landmark Hallmark/Westland slaughter plant investigation (which led to the largest meat recall in U.S. history). While federal regulations still prohibit the slaughter of adult downer cattle for human consumption, the parts of California's law prohibiting slaughtering other downer animals are no longer in effect.
Back to good news: Get a coffin, since Florida's "ag-gag" legislation is now officially dead. However, Iowa is still debating its whistle-blower suppression bill, and similar bills are still pending in other states.
Time has a compelling online video about undercover investigations and these ag-gag bills that you won't want to miss.
Video of the week: Ever try to teach a pig to sit? Here you go.

» Rats are sweet to their buddies!
I am AS I TYPE riding in the car and listening to NPR (whee, iPad), where I just heard this story about how rats not only work to free their caged buddies, but then are nice and empathic enough to share their chocolate chips with them. An experiment on animals that shows why experiments on animals can be so cruel. Rats have empathy! Duh! Yay!

Paul Shapiro Presents: Animal News You Can Use! (Thanksgiving Edition!) »
It's time for the next installment of Paul Shapiro's Animal News You Can Use! This time, it's THANKSGIVING-STYLE, boooy! Take it away, Paul! I'm thinking we might need an adorable graphic for this? Anyone want to make us one? In return, I will give you a gigantic Thanksgiving high-five! What a feeling!
Well, if you've been living under a rock, you may not have heard about Mercy For Animals' potent new investigation at Sparboe Foods, one of the sole egg producers in the country lobbying against the federal effort to ban barren battery cages. In the wake of the investigation, both McDonald's and Target dropped Sparboe as a supplier.
MFA's investigation resulted in massive news coverage, including a powerful 20/20 segment along with much other ABC News content (including a couple minutes of me hanging out with chickens talking about battery cages). Amusingly, a spokesman for the egg company claimed the video was "staged," only to have the company later publicly correct him, asserting they have no evidence of that.
The NPR affiliate in DC sat down with me for lunch to talk about veg eating and Meatless Monday. You can listen to the six-minute segment here.
Finally, the headline says it all: "Talking Turkey: 9 out of 10 retail turkey samples contaminated with fecal bacteria."
Have a nice holiday… :-)
P.S. No, the above video of me with chickens isn't the video of the week. This cow playing with a ball is.

Big news: The REAL Paleo diet is pretty damn close to vegetarian! HA! »
Apparently the paleo diet wasn't exactly meat meat meat. It was mostly veggies. On NPR's food blog, anthropologist Barbara King lays it down:
Our ancestors began to eat meat in large quantities around 2 million years ago, when the first Homo forms began regular use of stone tool technology. Before that, the diet of australopithecines and their relatives was overwhelmingly plant-based, judging from clues in teeth and bones. I could argue that the more genuine "paleo" diet was vegetarian.
BAM! That's called science taking one for the team. Thank you for being so brave and smart, science!
So I think that means all those disciples of the paleo diet better switch to a diet of almost exclusively veggies, right? And some grains? And a whole shit load less dead animal. And at the very least, the next time you run into the paleo diet bullshit, you can have some valuable information to BAM! them with. And most importantly, you can just call them out on being on a low carb diet like a little Zone dieting Atkins dieter. It's like, if you're only gonna eat bacon wrapped chicken breasts on beds of lettuce, at least admit it's because you're on some creepy diet, and not because you're "getting back" to what our ancestors ate. DONE AND DONE!

Yvonne the renegade is the coolest cow in Europe »
NPR has collected the amazing story of a six-year-old German cow called Yvonne, who three months ago got past an electric barrier and escaped to the forest, where she's been living ever since. Why did she run? Perhaps a sense of impending doom, as her owners had intended her for the slaughterhouse. Her nominal owners have offered 10,000 euro for her safe return, but in the time as a fugitive Yvonne has become a sort of folk hero for the residents of Zangberg.
Yvonne has successfully avoided accidental and deliberate death so far, and brought significant, international attention and tourist traffic to Zangberg. Not bad for an animal who might've been Zangberg's supper. Everyone's happy! Except maybe her previous owners, and the people who run Gut Aiderbichl Animal Sanctuary—they want Yvonne to make a permanent home at their facility, but they can't catch her, either. Some of us just need to be free.

Shut up, NPR: "Why Bacon Is A Gateway To Meat For Vegetarians" »
NPR has gone totally punch-in-the-faceable with its article exploring the science behind bacon's mass appeal, particularly to people who don't eat meat.
Come on, Eliza Barclay: this trend piece is already three years old, people who rescind on their commitment not to eat animals aren't exemplary of the veg community, and not all humanity is in love with bacon, anyway. Me, I didn't like it even as an omnivore, and when I was an omnivore, I declined no meats, however foreign and terrifying. Bacon never did it for me, and I am not the only one.
I can't believe it's 2011 and the media are still acting like bacon is the be-all, end-all of foods. "We even talked to vegetarians about this, and one said, 'I have long thought if for some reason I ever started eating meat again, I would start with bacon.'" Wikipedia doesn't accept one anonymous source as legit proof for a claim, and omitting the specific number of vegetarians you "talked to about this" is pretty telling—even a toothpaste will tell you how many dentists recommend it.
This article is unimaginative, obnoxious, and misspells the name of the author of Vegetarianism: Movement or Moment—how are you gonna use Donna Maurer's Howard Lyman-recommended book to help work your dumbass angle and then not even bother to get her name right? Fucking FAIL on all counts, NPR.

The End Dogfighting campaign: the HSUS helps ex-dogfighters with education and looooove »
Stereotypically, your Vegansaurus loves public radio. We also love dogs, DUH, and pit bulls particularly. Today's Morning Edition returned that love hundredfold, with a story about personal and canine redemption.
The End Dogfighting campaign began in Chicago in 2006, expanded to Atlanta in 2008, and has just begun in Philadelphia. It "recruits former dogfighters and young, at-risk pit bull owners to take weekly training classes with their pets." And you know what happens when people take their dogs to quality training classes on a regular basis? MAGIC—or, you know, the humans and animals develop mutual respect and love. According to Chicago program leader Tio Hardiman, "there's a connection between fighting pit bulls and struggling to live in a violent society…. [K]eeping guys out of the world of dogfighting is good for them, their dogs, their families and the rest of the community."
They also say that Michael Vick's "testimony" about his former dogfighting exploits is really helpful, as he shares a socioeconomic background with many of the programs' participants. Look at multimillionaire, making a difference!
What you need to do, though, is go to NPR and listen to Elizabeth Fiedler's report—like all dogfighting stories, it's got some horrific elements, but hearing the people talk about their experiences themselves, while the dogs bark all happily in the background, is way more valuable than reading a description.

Decision Trees and Dead Ends
History is written by the winners. But history is always written as if the initial decision was what the final result was. The dead ends and bad decisions are always written out. And rarely do we recall that things could have been different if…
In business you will make a lot of decisions. Some will lead to positive results and more decision opportunities. Some will lead to dead ends and you will need to go back to a point where you can make a different decision. Some decisions will also lead off in new directions.
Human nature is funny. We forget the dead ends and when we document the experiences, we only record the decisions that moved us toward our goal.
That is why in business, as in life, it is important to have your purpose for the project clearly in front of you and to write down you goals. That way you can check off your progress on the journey.
And keep in mind that you may decide to alter your goals but only with careful consideration alter your purpose. Goals can change with new information, ideas and circumstances.
You need the goals as markers in your decision tree though as each is a point where you need to decide how to move to the next decision. Your met goal is also the point you can return to if you go down a dead end.
A word of caution – perfect decisions are impossible. Good business owners make decisions as early as practical. If you delay to get all the information, that is a decision and sometimes that decision will cost you in lost opportunity. Procrastination can be good but also bad.
How do you know?
If your head says wait then find out if you are waiting out of fear or something else. If you are afraid of losing face or making a wrong decisions, feel the fear and decide to take action.
Being serious about doing business means making decisions and moving forward.

#13 Mind Map Your Ideas
If you have never done a mind map, today is a good day to learn. It will simplify your life, allow more colour and help you plan more effectively.
I use this FREE software - FreeMind http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page
But my favourite tools for mind mapping are coloured pencils and a BIG sheet of paper.
One advantage of a mind map is to help you think. Most people do not think linearly. We seldom think of one sentence then another sentence and then another sentence. We think in words and pictures and one thought often gives rise to several other thoughts.
Mind mapping allows you to capture all those different thoughts. A mind map allows you to add more information later or easily update information when you learn more information.
Over the last 12 days, you have looked at a lot of information. This time is critical to your business future so before you start another week, let the mind map show you what you have discovered and thought.
Take each section and write the key points as a separate string. That means you will have at least 12 events coming off the central bubble called "My Business". The number of strings that come off each node will vary with your thought processes. Feel free to add more thoughts too. Put down words or concepts, grammar is unimportant in a mind map.
Once you have created your mind map you will start to see relationships between the different areas. Now you can start to look at your next action steps.
Highlight or underline your key words, words that matter to you.
Tomorrow you will be using all the words you highlighted so be colourful.
Have fun.

LWN.net Weekly Edition for May 9, 2013
Based on our progress during this feature freeze, we will not complete the feature freeze until August/September. I think we need adjust expectations about an 8.3 release date, and decide if we want to radically change our work process. Basically, to make a release anywhere near July, we need 10x more progress than we have had, which is unlikely. We could ship what is in CVS now, but that just pushes the patches for 8.4, and isn't fair to patch submitters. We could shove what we have now into CVS, but that is unwise. I think the only other thing we _could_ do is to re-open normal 8.3 development, so we aren't hampering updates to trivial parts of the code. Many of the patches now in the queue had been developed for months before 8.3 started, so the hope is that we wouldn't have many more new large patches, but several small ones we could deal with while we whittle away at the larger patches during the next few months. The question is whether it is healthy for us to remain in feature freeze for months, and if it is unhealthy, what are our options?

The seemingly never-ending countdown to the premiere of the revived soap operas, "All My Children" and "One Life to Live," is nearly over: Monday, April 29 is literally just hours away! And to make sure you're completely, fully and 100 percent ready to see the new Pine Valley and Llanview in all their online glory, The OnLine Network has produced a new video that is guaranteed to make your premiere experience a good one!
The behind-the-scenes drama that's been brewing since Prospect Park filed a lawsuit against ABC on April 18 is about to get even soapier! According to a story in The Hollywood Reporter, Prospect Park producers wished to buy ad space for "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" during broadcast soaps ("General Hospital," "Days of our Lives," "The Bold and the Beautiful," and "The Young and the Restless"), but CBS and NBC allegedly refused to help promote the competition — and in light of the $25 million lawsuit Prospect Park launched against ABC, the alphabet network isn't willing to run spots for the show, either!
With "All My Children" literally back from the dead as it gears up to re-launch on Monday, April 29 on Hulu, Hulu Plus and iTunes, Prospect Park's The OnLine Network has announced that it has joined forces with the Agnes Nixon Playwriting Festival at Northwestern University in order to offer students a chance to hone their craft by providing them with a chance to write a future episode of the iconic soap. As the creator of both "AMC" and "One Life to Live," Nixon is back to in the game as a creative consultant on the reboots for Prospect Park.
On the back cover of the newest double issue edition of TV Guide Magazine (dated April 22-May 5, 2013), those individuals who have yet to discover that "All My Children" and "One Life to Live" are now back in session will be in for a surprise when they see The OnLine Network's advertisement in the magazine proclaiming that "America's Favorite Dramas" premiere with new 30 minute daily episodes that can be viewed whenever they want, however they want and wherever they want via Hulu, Hulu Plus and iTunes beginning Monday, April 29.
As the old saying goes, a happy employee is a productive employee. And that must be a mantra Prospect Park believes in. According to the actors who have signed on to the serial dramas, "All My Children" and "One Life to Live," the production company — headed by Jeff Kwatinetz and Richard Frank — has batted a thousand when it comes to being respectfully in charge. And the end result, as the performers preview, is pure magic.
Last week, Soap Opera Network featured a CENTER STAGE interview with "One Life to Live's" legendary veteran, Erika Slezak (Victoria Lord). She opened up about the future of "OLTL," working with the fresh, young faces on the show, and what it's been like to have show creator Agnes Nixon back at the helm. And this week, we're revealing how she feels about Robin Strasser (Dorian Lord), what it's like working with Roger Howarth (Todd Manning) versus working with Trevor St. John (Victor Lord), and who she'd like to see return to Llanview!
With six Outstanding Lead Actress Daytime Emmy Awards under her belt — or rather, on her shelf — "One Life to Live's" Erika Slezak (Victoria Lord) is one woman to be respected. So when she says TOLN's version of the iconic show she's been a part of for more than 40 years is going to be stellar, you'd damn well better believe her!
"I think we're in great shape. I really do," the actress reveals. "I have ultimate faith in [co-headwriter] Susan Horgan. She emailed me a few weeks ago, and she said, 'You're going to love this. This is so exciting." I had lunch with her right after she took the job, and we talked for like three hours just about where the show was when it ended, and she already had so many crazy, wonderful ideas, and I thought, 'This is going to be great.'"
There are lots of questions surrounding the Monday, April 29 launch of "All My Children" on The OnLine Network (TOLN), the main one being, "What can we expect?" Debbi Morgan (Angie Hubbard), Darnell Williams (Jesse Hubbard) and David Canary (Adam Chandler) took that question by storm during the show's first official photo shoot in February, and while they couldn't reveal storyline details, the three stars did open up about the high number of new and young faces on the show, how the shorter 30-minute time slot will affect their acting and how they feel about the women who hold Pine Valley's future in their hands.
Reporting by Scotty Gore and Errol Lewis
With "All My Children" completing its first round of filming last Friday and "One Life to Live" set to begin filming next week, soap fans have been anxiously awaiting the much anticipated returns of their beloved Agnes Nixon daytime dramas. After months of speculation, Prospect Park has finally revealed that both series will debut on Hulu, Hulu Plus and iTunes on Monday, April 29 at noon ET, with fans getting their first glimpse of the new Pine Valley and Llanview.
"All My Children's" Pine Valley has been a bit of ghost town since the show left the air back in 2011, but not any more: Monday, February 25 marked the first day that past and new actors alike stepped into TOLN's version of the legendary soap's fictional town in Stamford, Connecticut — and judging by actor tweets, it seems the first week of taping is going well!
"It was a bright, sunny day in Pine Valley today, even for Dr. D!" joked Vincent Irizarry, who has reprised his role as David. Added Eric Nelson, who's playing a SORASed AJ: "Filming today was amazing… I have the best cast and crew ever!"

Jeff Tripplette went from hero to goat in the span of three hours on Sunday afternoon. Joe Buck thought he was going to announce a riot when the no-call came on the obvious fumble and it did seem like the crowd was ripe for violence...but a holding call on the go-ahead field goal wi[ped out a Saints lead and you just knew that he would miss the follow-up.
It wasnt a good day for the regular officials in this game at least from the Packers perspective but a win is a win and they keep pace with the surprising Vikings that have now won three games.
Things to like: The o-line opening holes and Cedric Benson finding them...James Jones makes the most of his chances...scoring touchdowns 4 of 5 times in the Red Zone.
Things not to like: more drops...confusion in the secondary...Woodson losing his head (he probably should have been tossed)
The PAck now faces an unfamiliar challenge...three in a row on the road.
The Badgers are a mess...luckily they get three winnable games before facing Michigan State..but if you cant get one yard with the game on the line what chance do you have. Apparantly it was a communication breakdown and was supposed to be a QB sneak instead of a handoff. Montee Ball must be ruing the day he didnt go pro .
The Orioles, Yankees & Rangers clinched playoff spots yesterday. The A's, Tigers & Cardinals are close. The Brewers were eliminated yesterday with a 7-0 loss to the Astros.
The European golfers came up with the biggst rally in Ryder Cup history and beaqt the Americans 14 1/2 to 13 1/2. Tiger Woods and Steve Stricker did not have a good week. The Euros overcame a four point deficit on the final day. That really is incredible.
Had a nice night at KB Willet Arena on Saturday night doing the PA for the Joe Zuniga Memorial Hockey game between the CW Saints and The Fort Wayne Federals. Joe was the founder and owner of the Saints and a long-time hockey booster in the Stevens Point area. He passed away earlier this year.

Does my 3-month-old daughter need a male role model in the household?
While I'm glad you're sensitive to this issue, your concerns are premature. For a child this young, the gender of the people who care for her is far less important than the fact that she's loved and protected. That's where I'd focus my efforts for the first year.
As she becomes a
, however, it would be a good idea for her to have some regular interactions with an adult male she can bond with. This should be someone who's likely to have an ongoing role in her lifea relative or godfather, perhaps, not someone you're dating. This will help her feel more comfortable with men, and give her experiences that complement the ones she has at home.
When you look for a preschool and kindergarten in a few years, you may wish to find one that has at least one male teacher. (Unfortunately, this is still relatively rare.) Again, this will help your daughter get used to different social styles and ways of interacting.
But for the time being, don't worry about it.

The criminality of 'small beer'
Joe Sixpack reports that this is his final column for the Appeal-Democrat. "Because of my increasing workload from Philly Beer Week, I just don't have enough time to produce this syndicated version of my column any longer," he wrote.
Thanks for being a part of the A-D, Joe. We wish you the best of luck in your other endeavors.
"I will make it felony to drink small beer." — "Henry IV, Part 2."
If he had his way, Shakespeare — or at least his memorable character, Jack Cade, who declared his contempt for weak beer — would be filing criminal charges on the first-ever Session Beer Day this Saturday.
The day is intended as a nationwide effort to encourage bars to serve flavorful yet easy-drinking, low-alcohol ales and lagers that can be enjoyed for extended hours — or a session. Think British-style mild, Czech pilsner, German hefeweizen or Irish stout. (Follow the movement on Twitter with the hashtag #sessionday.)
The date of the event (April 7) was selected to coincide with the anniversary of a 1933 amendment to the Volstead Act that paved the way for the repeal of Prohibition. Its passage legalized the sale of so-called 3.2 beer, containing 3.2 percent alcohol by weight (or about 4 percent by volume).
Alcohol content is a keystone in a burgeoning backlash against the hype surrounding strong beer.
For the past 10 years or so, small American brewers have sought attention by producing increasingly stronger specialties, like double India pale ale and imperial stout. In one recent analysis, beer blogger Ken Weaver (HopPress.com) determined the average alcohol by volume of new American releases is now more than 7 percent. By comparison, new foreign beer releases average about 5.5 percent ABV.
The surge of strength is understandable because that's what gets the attention from the industry's most avid enthusiasts. Bloggers rave about "big" beers, and Facebook users brag about their collection of potent bottles.
At the BeerAdvocate.com ratings site, for example, brands with more than 10 percent alcohol account for about half of the world's 100 top-scoring beers.
The problem is, you can enjoy only a couple of glasses of these gems before falling off the barstool. Yes, there are plenty of low-alcohol beers available in America, but they tend to be factory-made light beers with little or no distinctive character.
That's what prompted beer writer Lew Bryson to launch his Session Beer Project in 2007. "I wanted to encourage brewers to make more low-alcohol beers because there are people out here who will drink them," said Bryson, who stresses he is not opposed to high-alcohol beer.
He defines session beer as:
• Less than 4.5 percent alcohol by volume;
• Flavorful enough to be interesting — no light beers, please;
• Balanced enough for multiple pints;
• Conducive to conversation;
• Reasonably priced.
That alcohol limit seems fascistic to some because it summarily excludes brands that many regard as perfectly "sessionable," including the likes of Allagash White (5.2 percent ABV), Stoudt's Pils (5.5 percent ABV) and Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (5.6 percent ABV).
Ironically, some session beer proponents think 4.5 percent ABV is too high.
Bryson acknowledged the weakness of dictating an alcohol limit, but said he proposed it because Americans are fixated by numbers. He said he preferred a more subjective definition: "Session beer is beer you can drink while you're playing cards without worrying about gambling away your house."
It's an admirable goal, even if it ignores the obvious (if distasteful) alternative: Drink fewer beers.
Which points to session beer's more troublesome challenge.
A good deal of microbrewers' success is due to the potency of their product. Small brewers differentiated themselves from macro-brew conglomerates by offering full-flavored ales and lagers, justifying their higher prices by boasting that you didn't have to drink as much to feel the buzz.
Consumers may rightly feel they're not getting their money's worth if the alcohol content is lower, especially since the new wave of session beers are not substantially cheaper than higher-alcohol varieties.
Which is exactly why Jack Cade declared small beer a felony.

David Gray - White Ladder
Album Details
- Artist: David Gray
- Album: White Ladder
- Label: IHT

- ME Rating:
- Reviewed by: dscanland on 2003-03-30
A big buzz surrounds David Gray in the UK and people are wondering if that will carry on in North America. With the underground already embracing this beautiful album I think it will only be time before White Ladder breaks here too. It is suprising that this album actually saw the light of day after two major label attempts falling by the wayside. Another one of those "Overnight Successes". White Ladder really is a singer / songwriter masterpiece and you will realize it once the infectious "Please Forgive Me" creeps out of the stereo. He switched to drum machines with subtle dance tracks to back most of the songs. Included on the album is his cover of Soft Cell's "Say Hello Wave Goodbye" which is brilliant. Originally only available in the UK Dave Matthews label ATO picked it up and released it in March 2000. Watch out for David Gray and don't let him pass you by again.

There was a time when David Gray was everybody's darling. Around the turn of the millennium you couldn't switch on the radio or put on a TV music programme without hearing David Gray. Then he just seemed to vanish. Of course he didnt, he's still putting out albums, but he has been all but forgotten amongst those who once idolised him. Perhaps people just became tired of him, or perhaps his follow up material was not up to the mark.
When "White Ladders" came out it was an album which I couldn't stop playing. It seemed so pertinent to so many things which were going on around me. Had I reviewed it then, it may have got eight or even nine stars. But these days, over a decade after its release, I am no longer so sure that it warrants such treatment. These days I rarely play it, and when a track comes up on shuffle it reminds me of how I once felt about the album. Which track it is depends on whether I recollect those feelings with warmth or embarrassment.
David Gray has a pleasant voice and writes some good songs. In "Babylon" he has written a fine pop song and this song deservedly got him acclaim at the time. But Gray's song writing is erratic. At times he writes some damn fine stuff; at others he is ponderous and bland. Take the last song on the album, the cover of Soft Cell's "Say Hello Wave Goodbye", which is nine minutes of increasing frustration. It is also, I am sad to say, rather derivative. It reminds me very much of Van Morrison's "Astral Weeks" and there are even lines which have been lifted wholesale from songs on that album into this song. The similarity may but unintentional but if it is not it is unforgiveable.
And yet there are a handful of songs on here which make the album worthwhile. If I hear one of those songs I can remember the album with fondness. "Please Forgive Me", "Sail Away" and "This Year's Love", in addition to the aforementioned single, are worth having the album for. But these days it seems dated and has lost a lot of its spark. Gray was a fine songwriter. Had he pushed the boundaries a bit more he could have been a great one. But then, had he pushed the boundaries, he may not have been flavour of the month a decade or so ago.

There are common questions that we can answer about all health topics, such as "What is it?" and "How many people are affected." Answers to these questions are found under Condition Information. Each health topic frequently has specific questions that pertain only to that topic. We have answered those in this section.
In 1997, Congress asked the NICHD, along with the U.S. Department of Education (ED), to form the National Reading Panel to review research on how children learn to read and determine which methods of teaching reading are most effective based on the research evidence.
The panel included members from different backgrounds, including school administrators, working teachers, and scientists involved in reading research.
The panel was formed because many of the nation's children have problems learning to read. If they don't get the help they need, these children will fall behind in school and struggle with reading throughout their lives.
Although parents, teachers, and school officials work hard to help kids learn to read, there have been many different ideas about what ways of teaching reading have worked the best—and some ideas have contradicted each other.
Congress asked the NICHD and the ED to form the National Reading Panel to evaluate existing research about reading and, based on the evidence, determine what methods work best for teaching children to read.
Specifically, Congress asked the panel to:
In addition, the National Reading Panel held public hearings where people could give their opinions on what topics the panel should study.
The National Reading Panel's analysis made it clear that the best approach to reading instruction is one that incorporates:
The following is a summary of the panel's findings:
The findings of the National Reading Panel were highlighted in President Bush's plan for improving education—the No Child Left Behind Act.
The NICHD, the National Institute for Literacy, and the ED also united to form the Partnership for Reading.
The Partnership was an effort to distribute evidence-based reading research—such as the findings of the National Reading Panel—to those who can benefit the most from it. The Partnership works to ensure that the methods of reading instruction used in the classroom reflect evidence-based methods, such as those put forth by the National Reading Panel. Publications developed under this partnership are still relevant and available despite termination of the National Institute for Literacy. These resources for educators and parents are available on the National Reading Panel website.
Many organizations for people with reading and other learning disorders provide a wealth of resources to help these people and their parents get help.
A few places to start are:
The Resources and Publications page of this website has other helpful resources as well.

Charles Hamilton Houston Memorial: Community Outreach
Throughout this project there will be numerous opportunities for the community to get involved. In addition to community outreach programs, the public will be invited to comment on the three final proposals. The maquettes will be displayed at the Charles Houston Recreation Center for four weeks beginning in February of 2010 (anticipated date). The online comment form will be posted on this page during the public comment period. Comment cards will also be collected at the Recreation Center. And, of course, we hope all of you will join us for the unveiling of the Charles Hamilton Houston Memorial upon completion
Oral History ProjectIt is critically important that we preserve our community's past. There are many important stories and lessons that must be passed on to generations to come. We hope you will help us in our desire to facilitate an oral history project for the Parker-Gray community. We are currently looking for volunteers who will attend a training session on how to conduct oral history interviews. The next orientation is tentatively scheduled for September 14 at the Watson Reading Room, 902 Wythe Street, Alexandria, Virginia. If you are interested in learning more, or would like to suggest an individual to interview, please contact Cheryl Anne Colton, Cultural Arts Administrator at email@example.com. Completed Oral Histories: Tea & TalkA series of "Tea & Talk" programs will be held on a quarterly basis at the Charles Houston Recreation Center. The purpose of the program is to encourage community members to share the stories of their civil rights experience in Alexandria and how it was shaped by the Parker-Gray School and Charles Hamilton Houston. The first event was held on June 8, 2009 and attracted nearly 40 participants.
Re-enactment of Alexandria Library Civil Rights Sit-InIn 1939, five citizens walked into Barrett Library. For merely sitting and reading, they were arrested. On August 21, 2009, the 70th Anniversary of the 1939 Alexandria Library Civil Rights Sit-In, a reinactment was held to commemorate the event. Sponsored by the Office of Historic Alexandria and the Black History Museum, Alexandria City Public Schools and the Alexandria Libraries.

Those who were offended by the choice of menu should realize that vegeterians are a minority and this article was written for the WHOLE public at large. What this had to offer was a perspective on how to handle problems, and many, many times food will help. You are entitled to eat what you want, but you are not entitled to criticize what others eat. A little respect goes a long way.
A supper of oatmeal is a good calmer-downer for a wound-up child...or when you feel stressed at the end of the day.
most days this horiscope is spot on some days it is down right scary it is so close.
Having been vegetarian for close to 30 years, I do not feel guilty about my diet, so the astrology was way off today!

Didier Deschamps is poised to become the new France coach after holding talks in Paris.
The French Football Federation has confirmed that president Noel Le Graet met Deschamps to discuss terms of a deal to replace Laurent Blanc.
Blanc stepped down from the helm of Les Bleus last week following the fall-out of their UEFA EURO 2012 quarter-final exit to eventual winners Spain.
"Noel Le Graet, president of the French Football Federation, and Didier Deschamps met in Paris on Saturday," a statement on the FFF's website read. "They engaged in a discussion on possible terms of contract to be the coach of the France team."
Deschamps, who captained France to their 1998 FIFA World Cup™ and EURO 2000 triumphs, was quickly installed as favourite to succeed Blanc after he left his post at Marseille by mutual consent last week.
The 43-year-old guided OM to one Ligue 1 title and a record three successive League Cups in as many years on the south coast.
Deschamps, who has also previously managed Juventus and Monaco, endured a difficult campaign last season, however, as OM managed only tenth place in Ligue 1.
Should Deschamps be appointed, his first game in charge would be against South American champions Uruguay in Le Havre on 15 August.

New York Students Protest Governor's Tuition Hike Plan
Reader Comments
There is a simple solution. The colleges could download all their courses for free. The courses could include study guides for a small fee. Students could also purchase low cost CD lectures from the Teaching Co. on a wide range of subjects from calculus, astronomy to history, generally for less than $200 a course (including a workbook). When students are ready, the state should allow them to sit for an exam and be granted credit toward a degree if they pass. Students must put in an effort; seek out experts in the field, research the Internet, etc. The key is to gain knowledge; sitting in a classroom listening to some professor drone on isn't necessary. The government and individuals can longer afford college whereby students attend regularly scheduled courses, sleep in the student union after a night at the bar and paint their faces for the weekend basketball game. Never in the history of man has so much information been available for so little of a price. Except for a few, the modern campus is outdated. I wrote about the free, Virtual University in a book "Invisible Money." Protesting, burning down a campus won't solve the problem. Our nation is broke. We should also return to corporate sponsored apprenticeship programs.
I have a job, an internship, and I'm a full time college student! I even do side jobs to get by. How about you get a LIFE and don't suck at it?
I graduated from the NY SUNY system. I recieved a fantastic education and now have a successful career. If not for the affordable tuition and the help of student loans and grants, I would not have been able to attend, being from a lower income family.
The student walkout in Hunter has NOTHING to do with "typical Libs" wanting free stuff. It has everything to do with trying to make a better life through a good education.
I bet these students, just like I did, do have JOBS!
I know times are tough all over, but the students in SUNY system deserve a shot and increasing tuition and eliminating funds will make it a lot tougher.
typical Libs want everything for free or next to free.
How about getting a JOB and working your way through college?

Core77's Hand-Eye Supply is quite pleased to have Molly Danielsson and Mathew Lippincott of MDML in what promises to be a fascinating Curiosity Club. The talk starts at 6 at the Hand-Eye Supply store in Portland, OR. Come early and check out our space or check in with us online for the live broadcast!
Mathew Lippincott & Molly Danielsson
MDML "Designing in a Cultural Blind Spot: Restrooms, Ergonomics, and the Environment. "
Hand-Eye Supply
23 NW 4th Ave
Portland, OR, 97209
Tuesday, August 7th, 6PM PST
Bathrooms are not designed in vacuums. Often they're designed by people wearing pants. Join us for an exploration of the interrelated cultural and social issues at play in designing the components of restrooms and the treatment of excrement.
More than any other issue, the handling of human excrement defies the logic of impact reductionism. Our excrement is the waste most intimately ours and also the waste we are least able to limit; we can't reduce it and its production is not a choice. It is also a valuable source of nutrients crucial to soil health and structure. Combining inevitability, intimacy, and ecological value, the problem of excrement is situated directly between our artificial boundaries of human and natural environments. Unraveling these interconnections and demonstrating a new positive human ecology is the key to understanding our place in our environment, and deconstructing our systemic problems of waste. Ecological Sanitation is more than simply environmentally conscious sanitation, it is a powerful model for re-imagining ourselves as a keystone species and positive ecological actors.
Mathew Lippincott flies kites and balloons to solve problems. Mathew is Director of Production in Education for Public Laboratory for Open Technology and Science (PLOTS). PLOTS supports citizen-based, grassroots data gathering and research. He is Co-Founder of the Cloacina Project, a project to create replicable sustainable portable sanitation services for the Pacific Northwest. Partner, MDML Design. B.A. Oberlin College Philosophy 2006.
Molly Danielsson is illustrating the science behind shit. Molly and Mathew co-founded the Cloacina Project two years ago and have created a series of educational publications, workshops and services in order to demonstrate the economic feasibility of sustainable sanitation through a replicable business model. Molly is lending her artistic hand to ReCode Oregon to create an educational campaign for regulators and the public on ecological sanitation with funding from the Bullitt Foundation. Partner, MDML Design. B.A. Oberlin College, Environmental Studies 2007

Constructing a safe path; Authorities: Don't panic when an emergency vehicle comes up behind you in one-lane zones
Imagine driving through a construction zone with one lane for both directions. Traffic lines the roads for miles when sirens fill the air, and you look in your rearview mirror to find an ambulance speeding down the highway. But there is one problem: There is no room to move over to let it pass.

Protestantism can be an embarassing concept at times... For the first twenty years of my life the term was identified with the Troubles which raged around my generation, and the ugly notion of taking aggravated and hostile sides against 'the other sort'. As school life at a Protestant boys school gave way to university and diversity, my sense of malaise about being a 'Protestant' intensified, leading me eventually to energetically distance myself from the term and those who espoused it. 'Evangelical' or simply 'Christian' were label enough for me without the cultural entailment of heated and Scripturally infused invective which 'Protestant' seemed to embody. The most prominent spokesmen for 'Protestant' communities in our political life did little to temper my disgust at much of what was identified with my own cultural heritage. Looking back such shame at one's heritage and background can scarcely be a healthy thing.
This is where the Banner of Truth and other Reformed publishers came into play as I read my way through my twenties. The books published by them and the articles within their magazine brought me face to face with a Protestant viewpoint emancipated from the hateful caricature which is painted on gable walls, and etched upon the never, never, neverland fantasies of politically contorted Christianity, or spirtually distorted politics. The Banner allowed me to approach Protestant thinking from an historical, theological and more sociologically nuanced perspective, in which the intellectual underpinnings of the great movement for spiritual change in the sixteenth century were shown to be glorious and grand in many respects.
The gradual changes which have taken place in my thinking were recently thrown into bold relief by my reading of T.M. Lindsay's 'The Reformation'. Written as a shorter version of Merle D'Aubigne's magnum opus, Lindsay's 267 page work is designed to demonstrate that the Reformation, and the Protestant heritage which emerged from it, were nothing short of a revival of religion - and one for which we ought to be enormously thankful.
Lindsay's procedural basis is plain and simple, although his engagement with the issues is by no means facile or smugly uncritical. The book views history through the lens of geography, demonstrating how the liberating effect of the Reformation took hold across Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland, France, the Netherlands, Scotland and England. Lindsay is keen to show that God's providence lay behind the events of the sixteenth century, but not so keen as to lose his poise or critical facility as an historian. Where benefits were brought by the Reformers Lindsay is quick to highlight them, but is likewise careful to trace the shortcomings and ideological failures which were embodied by almost every expression of Reformation across the European countries he highlights. At times the detail in the book can be a little overhwhelming, but it does give the book a feel of being scholarly as well as popular, and this is refreshing when it comes to an issue which is too often handled emotionally rather than intellectually.
For me the strongest section of the book was Lindsay's depiction of the Reformation in England, with a balance of empathy with those who shed their blood to see the evangelical faith established, and sympathy for the antagonists of the Reformation, with Mary Tudor in particular depicted with depth and pathos which could easily be lacking in such an account. Lindsay's tracing of medieval trends which pressed for Reform prior to the events of the sixteenth century is also refreshing, and alleviates some of the 'line in the sand' thinking around this historical period which can be most unhelpful.
Lindsay's work is an excellent example of good historical writing, with an evangelical bias. This book is not the Banner of Truth equivalent of 'The Reformation for Dummies' but is a serous study of the great movement of God in the sixteenth century, distilled into a brief and terse account which draws the reader in and maintains their attention throughout.
Under the terms outlined by Lindsay it is possible for previously disillusioned people like me to realise that there is much to be proud of in Protestant heritage. It does not need to imply hatred for those who differ, or a polarised 'them and us' mentality which demonises other communities, but can stand as a social, moral and spiritual identity which prizes liberty of conscience, earnest enquiry and intellectual probing of those things which are taken as absolutes within society. I'm a long way from identifying myself primarily, chiefly or even readily as a 'Protestant', but books such as 'The Reformation' give good reason to probe further into the rich heritage which belongs to those who come from such a background.

I recently discovered the video game suggestion on Mdb and wanted to make you know about a Snes game not very popular (I think) .
" Front mission: Gun Hazard" , this game is extraordinary ! I think that any metroid fan will love it , there is a metroid feeling about it. It was distributed by Squaresoft only in Japan. Music scored by Yasunori Mitsuda, Nobuo Uematsu and cover art by Yoshitaka Amano ( Squaresoft big gun, lol ). The game was designed by the same team of " Cybernator " on snes. The game is very similar but was highly polished and transformed into a A-Rpg. And some nice people translated it for us, just find the patch ! Well that's it, thank you for reading!
Oh and, please, If you already played the game or did play it because of me, feel free to discuss it here I'd be happy !
Ps : Sorry for the spelling mistake , if there is any, I am not english

Straight from the UGHHH, WHYY file comes a truth-bomb about red wine that will blow your shit. Although it still carries the feel of louche European glamour (getting drunk on Jaegerbombs? Tacky. Getting drunk on red wine? "French!"), the myth that a glass or three of vino rouge is any healthier or less caloric than its counterparts is rapidly going the way of the dinosaursespecially for women.
While your standard single glass is thought to contain resveratrol, which lowers the risk of heart disease and increases life expectancy in certain women, getting a carafes worth of the stuff along with your pasta is increasingly ill-advised. Because we ladies metabolize alcohol differently than dudes, (we feel the effects faster) a single glass of wine falls under the category of "moderate drinking" for us, while a guy can, according to the stats, go for two. As a reminder, binge drinking is defined as the consumption of four drinks or more within a two to three hour period. (Think about your standard Thursday night dinner with girlfriends. Now, uh, cringe.)
I apologize in advance for this FML-worthy information, but according to Dr. Linda Pourmassina, a Seattle Internal Medicine physician and Seattle Times columnist, two five-ounce glasses of red wine contain the same amount of calories found in a Snickers bar.
Of course, there are worse downsides to drinking too much cab sauv besides needing a crane to put on your Rag & Bone jeans: It was recently discovered that even light drinking can contribute to your breast cancer risk if the disease runs in your family. It can also worsen mood changes, sleep issues and overall depression.
This begs the question: Can you stop at one glass? If so, youre a stronger woman than I.

On December 7, Professors Jon Bauer and Miriam Marton will speak to a Human Rights and Social Work class at the UConn School of Social Work about refugee law and the work of the Asylum and Human Rights Clinic.
The Asylum and Human Rights Clinic recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. During this intensive, one-semester program students handle every aspect of representation in high-stakes cases that determine whether a client who has fled from political, religious or other persecution will be allowed to remain permanently in the United States, or face deportation.
Since 2002, Professor Bauer has directed the Asylum and Human Rights Clinic, a clinical program in which law students represent refugees who have fled from persecution and are seeking asylum in the United States. He has frequently addressed bar groups and social service organizations, and testified before legislative committees, on issues relating to anti-discrimination law, refugees, legal ethics, and the provision of legal services to the poor. His writings include an article on clinical pedagogy (co-written with Professor James H. Stark) that has been included in the Clinical Legal Education Association's bibliography of basic readings for new clinical teachers, and a study of discrimination against people with disabilities in the bar admissions process, published in the UCLA Law Review.
Professor Marton joined the Law School faculty in fall 2011. Professor Marton has been practicing law for ten years. During the last several years of her practice, Professor Marton spent a significant amount of time representing asylum applicants as part of the pro bono program at the New York offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP. Prior to going to law school, Ms. Marton was a social worker for fourteen years, specializing in working with survivors of trauma.
