18 July 2008, Cape Town, South Africa
The AIDS and Rights Alliance for Southern Africa (ARASA) issued a report today on tuberculosis (TB), the mining industry and migrant workers in the region, which raises urgent concerns about the failure of the South African government and mining companies to adequately address the health crisis among migrant workers in the South African mining sector. The incidence rate of TB on South African gold mines is among the highest in the world, and up to ten times the national incidence rate. The increased risk of occupational TB disease in miners is largely a result of exposure to silica dust and cramped, poorly ventilated working and living conditions, and is aggravated by the high HIV prevalence in these communities. Regulations for TB control on mines and compensation of workers with occupational TB are inadequate, poorly adhered to by mining companies and poorly supported by governments. "Studies have shown that the prevalence of TB, HIV and other lung disease among miners and ex-miners is out of control," said Gregg Gonsalves, ARASA's regional treatment literacy and advocacy coordinator. "The high rates of TB in these men, their ongoing health problems and difficulties in obtaining compensation for their illnesses amount to a series of gross human rights violations perpetuated by the South African government and the mining houses," he continued. The report is based on recommendations from a meeting sponsored by ARASA in May 2008 with representatives of mining companies, unions, governments, local and international experts and civil society. It calls for sweeping actions to address the high rates of TB, HIV and other lung disease among migrant workers who work or who have worked in South African mine shafts.
Lesotho, for example, has the fourth highest TB incidence rate in the world, and the disease is responsible for 15% of all deaths in the country. The relationship between the South African mining sector and the TB epidemic in Lesotho is unambiguous – a recent study showed that close to 40% of adult male TB patients in three of Maseru's main hospitals were working, or had formerly worked, on South African mines. Furthermore, at least 25% of the drug-resistant TB cases treated in Lesotho since August 2007 were referred from mines in South Africa. It is clear that the public health threat of TB in Lesotho cannot be adequately addressed without dealing with the issues around TB control in migrant miners and their families – on the mines in South Africa, across the border, and in their communities in Lesotho, South Africa and other countries in the region.
The ARASA report urges governments and mining companies to immediately act upon recommendations based on three key priority areas for improving the cross-border control of TB in migrant miners and their families:

Timing your weight loss
By Michael Roizen, M.D., and Mehmet Oz, M.D.
Some crazy diet tricks – like "calorie erasing" sprinkles and "fat melting" shorts – should be banished to the Weight Loss Hall of Shame. If you're struggling with your New Year's resolution to slim down, don't be tempted by these or any other pounds-off scams that sound too good to be true. They always are. Instead, give this new, science-proven strategy a try: Better timing.
Eating by the clock (we'll show you how) is a no-extra-willpower-required way to help you lose more pounds, boost satisfaction and stick with your weight-loss plan for the long haul. Just by working with your body's natural rhythms and needs, you can boost diet success. The latest proof: A new Spanish report says eating your main meal earlier in the day could help you lose 29 percent more weight.
The researchers tracked the eating habits and body weight of 420 dieters who munched, on average, a slimming 1,400 calories a day. Those who ate their biggest meal of the day before 3 p.m. lost 22 pounds in 20 weeks, compared with 17 pounds for those who sat down to their main meal later on. Both groups got similar amounts of sleep and exercise, so those factors didn't account for the difference. Another clue that when you eat – not just what you eat – is crucial for weight-loss success.
Why? We're beginning to suspect that eating helps reset your body clock every day, the same way exposure to sunlight can. Downplaying or ignoring breakfast, then eating a major meal late in the day may throw off the timing that helps keep your metabolism humming – throwing it out of sync with the big body clock in your brain. This could mean the difference between calories getting burned for fuel or stored as fat after a meal.
Better-timing lesson: Start the day with breakfast and make sure you have some protein –there's plenty of evidence that breakfast-eaters are slimmer. Then try to eat the biggest meal of your day at lunch. Keep dinner satisfying by diving into chunky, filling foods like salads, cooked and raw veggies, and veggie-packed soups, stews, stir-fries and casseroles. Then try these two additional ways to turbocharge weight loss while factoring your new, better timing into the equation.
Slow down. Making meals last longer boosts release of appetite-satisfaction hormones that help you feel full. People who spent 30 minutes eating a bowl of ice cream had 25 percent to 30 percent higher levels of two key I-do-not-feel-hungry-any-longer hormones (peptide YY and glucagon-like peptide-1) than those who wolfed down their treats in just five minutes. Slow eaters also saw levels of these hormones remain elevated for the next two and a half hours.
Better-timing lesson: Linger over your meals. Put utensils down between bites, make conversation, listen to music while you eat or just take in the view from your kitchen or dining-room window. Don't sit in front of the television; it's always important to eat mindfully and savor every bite!
Take time off. Yup, breaking your weight-loss diet now and then could help you stick with it. In one fascinating study, researchers found that people who took time off – they stopped counting calories and didn't weigh themselves – lost just as much weight as people who dieted continuously for 11 months. Why? Knowing you'll get a vacation soon makes it easier to resist temptation today.
Better-timing lesson: If you find you've been cheating a lot lately, reset your mealtime clock. Then, once you're back on schedule, give yourself a break. Take the weekend off, declare a "no diet" day once a month in the middle of the week, or if you're on a long-term weight-loss plan, give yourself a whole week off. Make sure you stick to healthy indulgences, like six walnut halves, half an ounce of dark chocolate twice a day or your favorite fruit. And don't forget to stay with veggie and lean protein main dishes.

On April 3, 2012, shortly after dinner, a beautiful, curious 2-year-old little girl named Chance was playing around in her house. While running back and forth between bedrooms, she yelled to her mom, "I love you, mama." Her mom, Keisha, replied, "I love you too, Chance."
Chance continued to play. She went into her 7-year-old brother's bedroom and began pulling out the drawers to the dresser so she could climb up and reach a TV -- a TV that was sitting on top of the wobbly dresser. In an instant, both the TV and dresser fell over and Chance died instantly.
Unfortunately, these tragedies happen more often than you would think. Every three weeks, a child dies from a television tipping over. And every 45 minutes, a child is injured by a falling TV.
It's been almost two years since the tragedy, and Keisha says she thinks about Chance "every day." She wants to share her story with as many people as possible. Not so that we'll feel sad, but because "I want other families do whatever they can to protect their kids and make sure that what happened to my family doesn't happen to them."
So, what better time to think about TV safety than before the Super Bowl, when millions of families will gather in front of their TVs to watch the big game?
On February 1, the day before the Super Bowl, Safe Kids Worldwide and the Consumer Electronic Association (CEA) are teaming up for National TV Safety Day. We're asking families to add one important, and perhaps overlooked, task to their Super Bowl prep. Do a quick check of your home and make sure all TVs are safely secured and placed properly.
It's as easy as asking a few simple questions:
- Can my flat panel TV tip over? If so, be sure it's properly secured. Mounting your TV is a safe solution.
- Is my older, bulky TV placed on high furniture? Now's the time to move it to a low, stable piece of furniture that is appropriate for the TV's size and weight. If you don't use that old TV anymore, consider recycling it. Here's a video that will give you all the inspiration and information you'll need.
Checking your TV matters. So before the Super Bowl, please help us spread the word about National TV Safety Day, and take the necessary precautions to secure all TVs in your home. The safety of your children and your own peace of mind are well worth the time and effort.

Associated Press
Japan's prime-minister-to-be announced his top lieutenants on Tuesday and promised his conservative party will pursue fresh policies to tackle the nation's chronic economic woes and bolster its sagging influence on the international stage.
Shinzo Abe, who led his conservative Liberal Democratic Party to victory in elections Dec. 16 after three years in opposition, was to be formally installed as prime minister on Wednesday for his second turn at the nation's helm. He was also prime minister in 2006-2007.
In filling the top party posts, Abe vowed to take bold measures to bring Japan out of its doldrums and win back public trust in the government, which has taken a beating over what many voters see as politicians' failure to shore up the economy, deal with a swelling national debt and come up with a recovery plan following last year's devastating earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crises.
The new top party lineup includes two women _ more than previous LDP administrations _ and is younger than earlier ones, with three of the four in their 50s.
The LDP governed Japan for decades after it was founded in 1955, but has been the top opposition party since 2009 elections won by the left-leaning Democratic Party of Japan. Before it was ousted, the LDP was hobbled by scandals and its own problems getting key legislation through a divided parliament.
This time around, Abe has promised to make the economy his top priority and is expected to push for a 2 percent inflation target designed to fight a problem that was until recently relatively unique in the world _ deflation, or continually dropping prices, which deadens economic activity. The Japanese economy has been stuck in deflation for two decades.
Besides generous promises to boost public-works spending _ by as much as 10 trillion yen ($119 billion), according to party officials _ Abe is pressuring the central bank to work more closely with the government to reach the inflation target.
Abe has also stressed his desire to make Japan a bigger player on the world stage, a stance that has resonated with many voters who are concerned that their nation is increasingly taking a back seat both economically and diplomatically to China. Abe has vowed to stand up to Beijing over an ongoing territorial dispute and strengthen Tokyo's security alliance with Washington.
He has acknowledged, however, that the road ahead for Japan will be bumpy.
The ousted Democrats, meanwhile, named a new party chief to replace outgoing Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda.
Banri Kaieda, a former trade minister, vowed to keep the left-leaning Democratic Party of Japan from collapsing after its stinging defeat in the latest elections. Kaieda also said the party must continue to fight the conservatives.

Tobacco, Gum Disease, and Bad Breath
Posted: June 4, 2009
We all know that cigarettes cause bad breath, right? As a rule of thumb, the more you use chewing tobacco, the more likely you are to have bad breath. Not only can chewing tobacco cause cancer and other health issues, but it has a strong link to foul breath also. Tobacco use is indeed linked to periodontal disease (gum disease, gingivitis) because it causes the gums to lose some of their ability to adhere to the teeth. They start pulling away from the teeth and then receding, which exposes dentin and creates pockets between the teeth/gums where bacteria can grow. Exposed dentin is very sensitive to hot and cold temperatures, which also makes it sensitive to tooth decay, with building oral bacteria producing foul-smelling sulfur compounds. These sulfur compounds cause halitosis, which is one way how tobacco can cause bad breath. Periodontal disease can take a long time to develop, but bad breath can be caused by tobacco in more immediate ways. Tobacco causes the saliva in one's mouth to decrease, which allows oral bacteria to proliferate. The anaerobic bacteria (that produce the sulfur compounds) can grow out of control without enough saliva in the mouth. All in all, you will much more likely have bad breath if you use tobacco continuously. Furthermore, you will more likely develop gum disease, oral infections, and even mouth cancer. Believe us on this-- your life will be much easier in the long run if you choose to avoid tobacco.

Mitch McConnell wanted a dance partner, and in Joe Biden he found one.
Lawmakers narrowly averted the worst of a fiscal crisis this week, largely thanks to behind-the-scenes negotiations between the Senate minority leader and the vice president – two Senate veterans and old-school politicians who reached a compromise no one seems to love but that enough members of both parties could accept.
The end to weeks of fevered negotiations came when a frustrated McConnell, who's a Kentucky Republican, put out the call Sunday for someone to barter with after talks with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., had stalled. McConnell suggested Biden, who speedily returned to Washington from his home in Delaware.
By day's end, the two had spoken more than three times by phone, and eventually they hammered out what would become a compromise to avert sudden economic peril.
"When the history books are written, we will see they made the difference," said Rep. G.K. Butterfield, D-N.C. "They may not be political allies who see eye to eye, but they have mutual respect for each other and that's what was needed."
It's not the first time the political odd couple – who served in the Senate together for more than two decades – has teamed up to broker deals, including a pact to extend the Bush-era income tax cuts in 2010 and another to lift the debt ceiling in 2011.
President Barack Obama, who was elected before he finished his first term in the Senate and has had frosty relations with Congress, has often turned to Biden as an ambassador to the chambers. Biden – whose public persona is often defined by a propensity for gaffes – spent 36 years as Delaware's senator and knows how the Senate works and what it takes to make deals, observers say.
Biden shepherded the administration's 2009 economic stimulus proposal, and he was asked last month to lead a task force to come up with suggestions on curbing gun violence in the wake of the school shootings in Newtown, Conn. His emergence as a deal-maker comes as speculation ramps up about whether he'll mount a third run for president in 2016.
Observers say the shared Senate experience helped the two leaders talk to each other.
"Biden's very much an institution man, as opposed to Obama, who pretty much passed through," Senate Historian Donald Ritchie noted. McConnell and Biden "served together, and there's a great deal of trust there that enables them to work together. They've known each other for decades, and they've taken the measure of each other along the way."
Both men, said Jared Bernstein, a former economic adviser to Biden, come from an era of deal-making.
"These are two guys who remember how to compromise," Bernstein said. "Unfortunately, that's a lost art."
Despite McConnell's take-no-prisoners approach on the Senate floor – some Democrats revile him for his remarks in October 2010 that his priority was preventing Obama from winning a second term – Senate observers say he has a record of finding common ground.
Behind the scenes, McConnell repeatedly has shown a veteran senator's knack for getting 80 percent of what he wants, not the 100 percent that younger members often insist on.
He's often credited with finding a path to end the weeks-long impasse over raising the debt limit in August 2011. He first proposed the multi-stage approach to raising the limit, the outline of a plan that was later adopted.
He got all but five members of the Senate's Republican caucus to vote for this week's fiscal cliff fix.
For his part, Biden sold the plan to members of Congress in personal, and lengthy, trips to the Senate and the House of Representatives. Asked what powers of persuasion he'd employed, he quipped, "Me," and said he'd reassured wavering senators, "I'm Joe. I'm your buddy.'"
In the House, Biden spent more than two hours answering questions from Democrats who were worried that the administration was giving up too much when it came to income levels for higher tax rates.
"I thought it was a filibuster," Rep. Norm Dicks, D-Wash., quipped as he left the meeting.
In the end, just 16 House Democrats voted against it, and three in the Senate.
Late Tuesday, after the House had voted to send the legislation to Obama for his signature, the president took the stage at the White House, a beaming Biden at his side. Obama thanked legislative leaders, including McConnell. And he singled out Biden, calling him his "extraordinary" vice president.
"Everybody worked very hard on this and I appreciate it," the president said, adding, "Joe, once again, I want to thank you for your great work."

It has clearly been an eternity since my last post and much has happened. Let's do a quick review for the benefit of those who have been following and wondering, or for those who are new to our story. A lot of this will come from the perspective of my Facebook account.
January 2014
February 2014Our lawyer finished constructing the waiver and sent it to USCIS to wait in line to be reviewed. At the time, we were anticipating perhaps a 6-month wait.
Spring 2014A documentary filmmaker contacted us about participating in the filming of a new project on immigration/family separation and the response of faith communities. I was intrigued and we got onboard. He came to film me, my parents, and the kids and then flew to Mexico to interview Carlos. He also interviewed our lawyer and lots of other experts on the topic. More about the documentary below...
July 2, 2014Almost exactly at the 5-month mark, I got a text message that our case status had changed and could be reviewed online. I was enjoying a summer outing with my kids and parents at Navy Pier when I got that notification. I'll never forget the feelings of dread that flooded over me as I stopped to log in and see what the update said. And I'll never forget the anguish I felt when I read the following:
Later when the denial letter came in the mail, it became apparent that they hadn't even reviewed the facts surrounding Carlos' eligibility for this waiver, nor the merits of our hardship case. Because he had been deemed ineligible in 2012, before this new policy had gone into effect, they hadn't even looked at the waiver, simply denied it.
I had known that this denial was possible but once it became reality, I was devastated. I couldn't believe our separation was going to continue, and the fight was going to drag on.

Another fun episode. So one side is super hot, while the other side is super cold. It seems so much like Akainu and Aokiji, like their essence is here. It looks like an experimental island by the marines, so I wonder if they did experiments on those guys to enhance their powers or create the island the way it is as a new weapon?
Also, we've heard so much about Vegapunk as the top navy scientist. I wonder if that gas mad scientist is Vegapunk, or if maybe an assistant of his?
Also, I'm guessing the samurai they are talking about might be the guy that is in pieces, since we've only seen parts of him. His upper body could be doing the slicing.
As for which Warlord he could be referring to, the ones that slice are Doflamingo and Mihawk. I don't think it is Mihawk, although as a samurai, he might want to fight him. It is more likely Doflamingo, since he is quite the bastard.

Love how they have the VA who voices Mayuri from Bleach as the voice of yet another mad scientist...though he did the voice for yet another mad scientist in the Strong World movie. It was like he was born to do such roles!

That Punk Hazard really is full of weird things.
Luffy is one crazy guy, but so is this island.
They really did barbecue and eat that dragon LOL
The lower half only man was pretty ridiculous as well.
The rest of the crew got kidnapped and trapped.
Looks like they found some pieces of their own.
This was one crazy episode, but the new characters are interesting.

Well the cut up Samurai does instantly make you think of Trafalger Law. He certainly could be involved in all this somehow. Though at the same time I thought that somehow Buggy's Devil Fruit got copied . Though since that's not possible will fall back on the Trafalger Law option.
Certainly seems like they have run into another mad scientist type. Kind of makes me think back to the incident with Moria. Just instead of zombies are getting these weird chimera people.
Things are getting fairly interesting.

I make Chooper's face every time Franky does that as well, he's so awesome. Figures this is the island where Aokiji and Akainu fought it out. Though i wonder who the mad scientist is if he hates Vegapunk, maybe he was created by the failed experiment.

That head was rather rude.
Franky really is useful sometimes ^^
This time he was especially useful.
Each of the groups had their own adventures.
Just on the opposites sides of the island.
There are some weird things happening on that island.

I originally guessed the island was Vegapunk related - maybe'd they finally catch up with him, it is Punk hazard afterall - but its more of an indirect tie.

Clinical impact of a gluten-free diet on health-related quality of life in seven fibromyalgia syndrome patients with associated celiac disease.
By Luis Rodrigo, et al.
BACKGROUND: Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder, characterized by the presence of gastrointestinal and multisystem symptoms, which occasionally mimic those of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS). To assess the effectiveness of a Gluten-Free Diet (GFD) in seven adult female screening-detected CD subjects, categorized as severe IBS and FMS patients.
METHODS: All subjects showed villous atrophy in duodenal biopsies, were HLA-DQ2/DQ8-positive, and fulfilled the Rome III and ACR 1990 criteria respectively for IBS and FMS classification. GFD effectiveness was assessed at baseline and after 1 year, examining the score changes in the Tender Points (TPs) test, Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), Visual Analogue Scales (VAS) for gastrointestinal complaints, pain and tiredness, drug prescriptions and tissue-Trans-Glutaminase (tTG) serum levels.
RESULTS: At baseline, all patients had poor Quality of Life and VAS scores, a high number of TPs and drug prescriptions, and increased tTG levels. After 1 year of GFD, all outcome measures significantly improved, with a decrease of 51-60% in TPs, FIQ, HAQ, and VAS scales, and in the number of prescribed drugs, accompanied by an increase of 48-60% in SF-36 Physical and Mental Component Summary scores, and a decrease of tTG to normal values.
CONCLUSION: Results of this pilot study show that the adherence to a GFD by CD-related IBS/FMS patients can simultaneously improve CD and IBS/FMS symptoms, and indicate the merit of further research on a larger cohort.

Deal With H-P Paves New Future for Old Software
Hewlett-Packard has agreed to let someone else shape the future of a historic piece of software.
The computer maker agreed to let a small Massachusetts company take over further development of OpenVMS, an operating system that originated at Digital Equipment Corp. in 1977. DEC no longer exists, but its technology has lived for years under H-P's ownership and still has passionate users.
VMS Software, based not far from DEC's original headquarters, said Thursday it will enhance the software so that users will be able to benefit from faster chips from Intel. H-P last year said it would support OpenVMS through 2020, but not on hardware using an upgraded line of chips that promise noticeable performance increases.
VMS Chief Executive Duane Harris said that H-P decision stunned organizations that use the software to run sensitive applications, in places like stock exchanges, manufacturing lines and chemical plants.
"Everybody was in a panic," Harris said. Users felt they "suddenly had no future."
VMS stands for virtual memory system, a technology for handling data that became a hallmark of DEC's VAX minicomputers. Harris and other fans of OpenVMS say it remains much more impervious to crashes than more recent programs like Linux, which is used to run most large websites.
Companies that have written their own software based on OpenVMS for specific computing tasks often don't possess the underlying source code that would allow them to adapt those programs for newer operating systems, Harris said. "It would cost millions to move," he said.
The DEC software was adapted to work on its Alpha chips and later Intel's Itanium, the microprocessors selected by H-P to power three lines of high-end computers. That strain of technology, which H-P helped develop, is completely different than the Intel x86 chips that became popular in personal computers and smaller servers.
Itanium, unfortunately, found few customers beyond H-P and became a financial drain on Intel, to the point that H-P wound up paying the chip maker to keep developing the technology. Intel has introduced new models at a much slower pace than its x86 chip line.
Under the deal with H-P, VMS by 2015 plans to support OpenVMS on a chip dubbed Poulson that represents the latest upgrade to the Itanium line. But the long-term mission is to adapt the software for Intel's x86 chips, a technology shift that would make much more rapid performance increases available to OpenVMS users.
Harris admits that not every customer program may be able to take advantage of the other Intel chips. But he believes VMS can carry out the programming work and it will pay off for many users.
"We are very confident we can actually do it," Harris said.

Nintendo DS, $210
We're going to have to wait until early next year, but Japanese gaming giant Nintendo last week announced that its new dual-screen gaming hand-held will be on shelves in the US on November 21. In a first, Nintendo has chosen to debut in the US ahead of Japan, where gamers won't be able to get their hands on the DS before December 2. The console will launch with messaging software PictoChat and a demo version of Metroid: Prime Hunters.

LG TV refrigerator, $8000
First there was the internet fridge. Now LG has fitted one with a television. The 33-centimetre LCD screen, with 120-degree viewing angle so you need never miss a moment of Oprah, sits on the right-hand door of the side-by-side fridge with, a little more conventionally, an ice and water dispenser on the left. It makes you wonder whether there'll soon be any need to leave the kitchen.

Bushnell Instant Replay binoculars, $850
With horse racing's spring carnival in the starting gates, this pair of binoculars will be handy for keeping an eye on all the action ... over and over, if you happen to back a winner. It has 8x magnification, but also a 2.1-megapixel digital camera that can shoot still images or record up to 30 seconds of video footage. A flip-up screen also makes it easier to see what the camera is shooting but, on the downside, don't expect images to have anywhere near the magnification of the binoculars.

2009 Menu Development survey
To prepare and serve
Most operators use a variety of methods in preparing food, but convenience is increasingly trumping fresh. Among survey respondents, 91% said they do at least some scratch cooking, and 30% said they do some or all of their preparation using cook-chill methods. But when it comes to using already prepared foods in their operations, 71% said they use some prepared ingredients or meal components, compared with 65% last year, and 62% said they use some prepared entrées, versus 60% last year.
When it comes to scratch cooking, 45% of operators take that right to the customer in the form of display cooking, and 54% of respondents said they plan to increase the frequency of exhibition stations. There is an excellent reason for this: 78% of operators said their customer counts go up by an average of 15% when display cooking is done.
Colleges and universities are where you are most likely to see food prep in front of customers, as 89% of college survey respondents do this, with an average of about 6 stations per institution, and 78% said they offer it every day. Display cookery also is prevalent in B&I, where 80% of respondents offer it; by contrast, only 11% of school foodservice operations offer display cooking, and they do it only once a week.
Local and organic
Local sourcing and the use of organics are still popular elements of the menu development process. Seventy-seven percent of operators buy at least some foods from local sources, compared with 74% last year, while the percentage of operators buying at least some organic products rose markedly, from 32% last year to 40% this year. In both cases, produce is the most likely item on shopping lists. Fifty-eight percent of respondents buy local produce for an average of 45% of their total produce purchases, and 33% buy organic produce for an average of 15% of their total produce buying.
Among other local products, 57% said they buy dairy items (55% last year), and 37% buy meats or seafood from local sources (33% last year). A big purchasing change is in buying local baked goods. Fifty-two percent reported buying these items locally, markedly up from last's year 38%. On the organic side, 20% (17% last year) buy snacks, 16% (11% last year) buy dairy products and 11% buy meats or seafood.
Finally, the great majority of operators—92%—have eliminated trans fats from the products they use or serve customers. Although that percentage hasn't changed much, the variety from which trans fats have been removed has grown. Fifty-one percent of operators have removed trans fats from baked goods—35% last year—and 36% have removed them from all purchased prepared foods, versus 25% last year. Eighty-four percent said frying oils and shortening are trans fat-free, compared with 81% last year. Salad oils are trans fat-free in 63% of operations, compared with 58% last year.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
The family Nymphalidae is the most speciose family of butterflies with about 6000 described species so far. The family contains many well-known species, such as the monarch, the Painted Lady, the buckeye, the fritillaries, checkerspots and the electric blue morphos. Indeed, nymphalids are in many places the most visible members of the local butterfly fauna. Due to their visibility and ease of study in the field and lab, many species of nymphalids have been used as model systems to understand the complexity of life on this planet.

Chuck Hagel appears to have botched his confirmation hearing. I didn't see the hearing, but I suspect Daniel Larison gets this right:
Republican hard-liners have contributed to their party's defeats in three of the last four elections, and they inflicted long-term damage on their party's reputation on foreign policy by embracing the biggest foreign policy blunder in a generation, and now they are furious with Hagel because he's one of the few national Republicans to recognize reality.
Though he wrote before the Hagel hearing, Damon Linker is thinking along the same path. Excerpt:
Yes, American power is formidable in many areas. But there's an awful lot we cannot do — and at the top of the list is bending whole peoples and regions of the world to our will. In the multi-polar world we now inhabit, the U.S. will remain the single most powerful nation, but not by orders of magnitude. We will defend the nation's borders and its interests. We will offer support to allies in those selective cases (NATO in Libya, France in Mali) when we judge that doing so really will be "good for America and good for the world." But we will not be leading any crusades to transform (and liberalize) entire civilizations at the barrel of a gun. Why? Because the effort would fail — and failure is bad for America and bad for the world.
The president deserves our support in his attempt to adjust American expectations to fit the reality of a complicated, recalcitrant world — just as the GOP deserves our disdain for denying that same reality. Which is precisely what leading Republicans are doing in their efforts to block Obama's choice to head the department of defense. What is it about Chuck Hagel that so rankles the right? Some cry anti-Semitism, but the charge is so groundless that Hagel's critics have yet to produce a single shred of evidence to substantiate it. What is it, then, that supposedly disqualifies him from serving as secretary of defense? The answer: Hagel is a Republican who dares to believe that the use of American military force is only sometimes (as opposed to always) a good thing. That's all it takes to provoke denunciations in today's GOP.
Until that changes, the Republican Party will continue to be punished — and to earn its punishment — at the ballot box.
And yet, reading various accounts of the hearing, it appears that Hagel did a very poor job of defending himself. TAC's Scott McConnell says Hagel behaved "like a docile and seemingly beaten dog" in the hearing. And here's Jon Chait:
The liberal defense of Hagel has been dominated from the outset by enemy-of-my-enemy thinking. But while becoming the target of Bill Kristol's smear machine may qualify you for sympathy, it does not inherently qualify you for a cabinet post. Hagel is not an anti-Semite. But there are plenty of non-anti-Semites out there who can make it through a confirmation hearing without suffering total public humiliation.
Hagel probably will get his post at the end. Historically, it requires a massive scandal to sink a cabinet nominee. They have never faced a filibuster, and the general presumption has been that a president deserves the latitude to name people to carry out his chosen policies.
But Hagel's value proposition was supposed to be more than that – that he would be a commanding figure who could dominate the debate. The hearings cemented a buffoonish image Hagel will probably never shake and destroyed whatever value-over-replacement he could have brought as an advocate of Obama's agenda. The Republicans are probably better off with a wounded Hagel in office than voting him down, and Obama can't abandon him, either. The left-realists have lured Obama into a war that's turned into a quagmire.
Again, I didn't see the hearing. Did you? If so, what did you think?

What to CookAmanda & Merrill
Buttermilk Bagna Cauda
- Amanda
I love bagna cauda, the warm Italian garlic-and-anchovy sauce, almost as much as I love my children. And I especially love my husband because he likes to prepare bagna cauda for our dinner parties. If you've never made it, you're in for an hors d'oeuvre revelation -- all you do is warm garlic and anchovies for a few minutes in oil (or butter and oil, depending on which bagna cauda school you belong to) and then serve the toasty warm sauce with a bunch of fresh cut or lightly blanched vegetables. Do you see the beams of light breaking through the clouds yet?
This past week, a certain food52 member -- brooke's kitchen -- came up with this stunning Caesar dressing based on buttermilk, and this got me wondering what would happen if you combined pungent bagna cauda with a bit of taming buttermilk (and a thyme sprig or two)?
I will tell you: you get a pungent sauce that's a little rounder on the edges and more fragrant -- I won't say it's tangy, and I can't promise creamy, but you will get something subtly different, something you'll want to immediately plunge a blanched green bean or tiny carrot into.
Buttermilk Bagna Cauda
Serves 4
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled and halved lengthwise
- 2 sprigs thyme
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 anchovy fillets
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Pinch salt, more if needed
- 2 tablespoons buttermilk
- Fresh and lightly blanched vegetables, like asparagus, green beans, cauliflower, Romanesco broccoli, small carrots, etc., at room temperature
1. Drop the garlic and thyme into a small saucepan, add the butter and melt over low heat. Simmer the garlic (pulling the pan off the heat if the butter ever bubbles actively) until it's softened, about 10 minutes.
2. Add the anchovies and mash with a wooden spoon to dissolve them. Stir in the olive oil and let heat through. Season with salt -- taste as you go!
3. Whisk in the buttermilk. Serve with a platter of vegetables.

HARTSVILLE, S.C. – The Coker Cobra men's tennis team made history on Thursday (Apr. 11) night, as they captured the Conference Carolinas regular season championship for the first time ever. The Cobras defeated the Trojans of Mount Olive 5-4, finishing 10-0 in league play and moving to 15-4 overall.
It was a grudge match from start to finish, as neither team was willing to concede to the other. The Cobras took the early 2-1 lead with Andre Staab and George Handy winning at No. 1, 8-5, and James Corfield and Martin Moncayo earned a 9-8 (8-6) win at No. 3.
In singles action Staab and Tom Sizeland gave the Cobras a 4-1 advantage with victories at No. 1 and No. 2, respectively. A pair of Trojan wins at No. 3 and No. 5 trimmed the Coker lead to just one, 4-3 with two matches remaining.
After falling behind in the first set, Corfield battled his way back to win the second set 6-4 and the third 6-1 at No. 4, to give Coker not only the match victory 5-4, but also its first ever conference title. Corfield also extended his singles match winning streak to 14.
Coker will return to the courts for its final regular season match of the season on Saturday at home against Wingate University. The match will begin at 11 a.m. at the Coker tennis courts.

HARTFORD — Parents of three children killed in the Dec. 14 Newtown massacre gave powerful testimony to state legislators on proposed tougher gun laws at a public hearing that drew an estimated 2,100 people to the state Capitol complex.
"Noah was our 6-year-old force of nature," Veronique Pozner said of her son, one of 20 first-graders killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School. "He lies forever motionless in the earth. He will never get to attend middle school or high school, kiss a girl, attend college, pick a career path, fall in love, marry, have children or travel the world."

" gBuild's management of our relocation and renovation project exceeded our expectations in every way – your coordination of the trades and handling our requests for changes without impacting our move in schedule was amazing. We are very proud to show off our new space."
~ President, Standard Medical Supply, Inc.
"I have been at UD for 23 years and in all respects, the renovation project exceeded the high performance that I was used to experiencing.
~Professor, University of Delaware
"I wanted to take a moment to say "Thank you" for pulling yet another rabbit out of the hat, on time and on budget on our Island Avenue project. Everything went smoothly and you respected the fact that we still had a business to operate and the space turned out fabulous, the tenants are ecstatic and the landlords are happy too."
~ VP, Pennock Company
"Your attention to detail and quality was very evident as the project was completed ahead of schedule and on budget. gBuild's development of the site specific Construction Waste Management and Indoor Air Quality Plans exceeded the University's requirements and expectations… We certainly could use more firms like yours on campus and I look forward to working with gBuild again in the near future.
~ Asst. Director, FPC, University of Delaware
"I especially want to commend gBuild for a fine job. They communicated very well, were highly responsive and were very attentive to the vision we had for the project. I believe the project was a success due in no small part to their particular efforts and I look forward to working with them on future projects."
~ Dir., Venture Dev., University of Delaware
I want to express my sincere gratitude to you for an exceptional performance in the construction management of the Security Turnstile Project at our West Chester RD Facility. A huge part of the project success was the onsite team. The schedule was maintained, finishing ahead of the project timeline on both phases of the project. I have received many testimonies of thanks from our Security personnel, who recognize that gBuild went above and beyond their duties. I want to take this opportunity to thank you, and let you know that your services and commitment to quality success have not gone unnoticed by Cephalon.
~ Project Engineer, Cephalon
To do all this work in that short time was amazing. Only the attention to detail and effort of all involved allowed this to happen. gBuild and their subs worked for us and with us to make this happen. I should add that I was impressed that during all this frenzy to complete the revised work schedule, gBuild continued their policies on waste management and Indoor Air Quality. They have included being environmentally responsible into the company policy. Something all firms should consider for the future.
~ Sr Project Mgr., FPC, University of Delaware
Villanova University has had the extreme pleasure of working with gBuild on several projects. I use the emphasis for several reasons. gBuild has completed multiple laboratory and technology classroom renovations in occupied facilities, their coordination with the University and faculty was outstanding. They accommodated all University requests in a very timely manner, always holding to budget while going above and beyond expectations. I wish all contractors exhibited gBuild's professionalism along with their proprietary and above standard sustainability programs. Their Superintendent on these projects is the best I've ever worked with.

I was chasing my three-year-old daughter and I just couldn't keep up with her. I started running to lose weight and get healthy.
When I need a pick-me-up during a long run I will play Fight Song (Rachel Platten), Stronger (by Kelly Clarkson), or Brave (by Sara Bareilles). I will listen to just about anything while running, but do like songs that inspire.
Hands down, I am most proud of my AR50 medal! That was an incredible adventure, and I am still processing the idea that we ran 50 miles (and survived).
I think it would be fun to run the Great Wall of China marathon! That is definitely a dream.
I really enjoy the trails at Montaña de Or o (San Luis Obispo). That's my favorite place to run.
I like 50ks. They are long enough to be difficult, but short enough to be doable!
Oh boy. What happens on the trail stays on the trail? Kidding…we always have too much fun. It would be difficult to choose just one story.
When am I not running?! My favorite pastimes are reading, hiking with the family, and wine or beer tasting.
All the folks who run these amazing ultra races. I admit to being in awe of people who can finish 50 miles in 6, 7 or 8 hours. As for inspiration, seriously — all of Dusty Bottoms inspires me. Before DB, I didn't know people went out and ran 31, 50 or 100 miles.
. It took a long time for me to realize I was a runner. I always corrected people and told them I "just jog." However, the first time I realized I was a trail runner was at Double Dipsea three years ago. It was my first "official" trail run and I had a euphoric sense of accomplishment that I'd never had before.
I plan to run AR50 again, now that I know what to expect. But who knows what the future holds!
I don't have a favorite brand, but I am partial to IPAs, and love lots of hops.

Architecture and Interior Design Magazine
Israeli studio Itay Friedman Architects have recently designed Bouncing Coin House, a single-family house located in Ramat Hachial, Tel-Aviv, Israel. Creating spaces that you care about and where you want to spend your time was the paramount wish of the clients. The clients wanted to build a home that combines an airy and spacious feeling on a small plot of land.
The neighborhood typology consists of mostly one story bungalow type homes, but with current building regulations a basement and second floor are now permitted.This allowed the design to retain a large outdoor space within a very small plot of land while at the same time to house the needs of the client, a growing family. The brief was simple: "we want a home that can house all the things we love to do combined with the modern and antique styles we both care for so much" .
As we engaged in the design process and while playing with general volumes and shapes on the plot, we found ourselves drawn to the sloped angle of the plot. We became fascinated with the possibility of how to use it as an advantage rather then what would usually be considered as a disadvantage or obstacle. That was when the "bouncing coin" theme was born, by positioning a solid volume against the sloped angle and repeating that action for each next volume. By doing so we managed to manipulate the split levels within the rings of the falling bouncing coin, which in turn creates the illusion of a floating structure that has only two stories but in fact houses four.
The Bouncing Coin House slowly took shape as we spent the next months figuring out the connection between each level, their circulation, how light would enter and, most importantly, how to retain a sense of privacy within a corner plot. The house seems to not only mimic the plots outline shape on which it sits, but engulfs its surroundings while dividing the plot into three strips that transition between private, semi private and public spaces.
The corner site has a view that opens to a public garden. However, this view is partially blocked by a local supermarket. That made it important to use the view point and at the same time to retain the maximum feeling of privacy that the clients valued and asked to retain. As a result, the main (living) floor of the home is higher then the entrance level. Also, the orientation was rotated so that the view opens diagonally to the garden space through the two rows of houses along the street. The kitchen space was positioned a split level lower by which protecting the family within their private times and shielding them from the view of the supplier trucks of the supermarket.

Geometry of Manifolds by Richard L. Bishop [epub, pdf, doc, kindle]'Our purpose in writing this book is to put material which we found stimulating and interesting as graduate students into form. It is intended for individual study and for use as a text for graduate level courses such as the one from which this material stems, given by Professor W. Ambrose at MIT in 1958-1959. Previously the material had been organized in roughly the same form by him and Professor I. M. Singer, and they in turn drew upon the work of Ehresmann, Chern, and E. Cartan. Our contributions have been primarily to fill out the material with details, asides and problems, and to alter notation slightly. We believe that this subject matter, besides being an interesting area for specialization, lends itself especially to a synthesis of several branches of mathematics, and thus should be studied by a wide spectrum of graduate students so as to break away from narrow specialization and see how their own fields are related and applied in other fields'.'We feel that at least part of this subject should be of interest not only to those working in geometry, but also to those in analysis, topology, algebra, and even probability and astronomy. In order that this book be meaningful, the reader's background should include real variable theory, linear algebra, and point set topology' - from the Preface. This volume is a reprint with few corrections of the original work published in 1964. Starting with the notion of differential manifolds, the first six chapters lay a foundation for the study of Riemannian manifolds through specializing the theory of connections on principle bundles and affine connections. The geometry of Riemannian manifolds is emphasized, as opposed to global analysis, so that the theorems of Hopf-Rinow, Hadamard-Cartan, and Cartan's local isometry theorem are included, but no elliptic operator theory.Isometric immersions are treated elegantly and from a global viewpoint. In the final chapter are the more complicated estimates on which much of the research in Riemannian geometry is based: the Morse index theorem, Synge's theorems on closed geodesics, Rauch's comparison theorem, and the original proof of the Bishop volume-comparison theorem (with Myer's Theorem as a corollary). The first edition of this book was the origin of a modern treatment of global Riemannian geometry, using the carefully conceived notation that has withstood the test of time. The primary source material for the book were the papers and course notes of brilliant geometers, including E. Cartan, C. Ehresmann, I. M. Singer, and W. Ambrose. It is tightly organized, uniformly very precise, and amazingly comprehensive for its length.
