The introduction of a metronome synchronized to the cartoon steps improved participants' accuracy and enhanced their STN beta activity accordingly. #synchronize #running #rhythm #parkinsons - neurosciencenews.com Parkinson's May Begin in Gut and Spread to the Brain Via the Vagus Nerve - Neuroscience News The research has presented strong evidence that Parkinson's disease begins in the gastrointestinal tract and spreads via the vagus nerve to the brain. Many patients have also suffered from gastrointestinal symptoms before the Parkinson's diagnosis is made. "Patients with Parkinson's disease are often constipated many years before they receive the diagnosis, which may be an early marker of the link between neurologic and gastroenterologic pathology related to the vagus nerve ," says Elisabeth Svensson. #microbiome #vagus #parkinsons - neurosciencenews.com Get an email when henry copeland finds goodquotes on these topics: Subscribe All brain x109

Artisanal food fever is raging, and the latest sign is the rise in sales of old-fashioned butter churns.
Purveyor Glenda Lehman Ervin of Lehman's sells old-timey kitchen gadgets online and at her family's store in Kidron, Ohio. She says the clientele is quite diverse. "There are lots of people interested," she says.
It's not just homesteaders, hipsters and do-it-yourself-minded foodies getting in on the hands-on pursuit.
This hobby has now spread to 40-something suburbanites, as I learned a few weeks back when I received an email invite to a butter-churning party.
Bring the kids, and bring your own cream (BYOC), the note said. The host, my friend Jerry Casagrande, promised pingpong too, perhaps in anticipation that the churning might get old quick.
Now, if you listen to my story, you'll appreciate that the technical feat of turning cream into butter is not much of a feat — if you follow the directions.
One of the most important make-or-break steps is the 15 to 20 minutes of continuous, vigorous churning, which entails cranking a handle. This can be a real workout for the arms — if you actually stick with the task. "It gets tiring," said Casagrande, the butter-churn owner. "That's why it's good to have a butter-churning party."
Now, I was skeptical that the churn, which basically looks like a gallon-sized glass jar with a crank on top, would hold the crowd's attention.
But it turned out that we gathered around the churn as if it was a campfire.
And as a few of the kids at the party started beating a toy drum to the rhythm of the churning, the whole scene felt part ceremony, part circus.
"Sounds like fun," Bee Wilson, British food writer and author of the food-gadget history book Consider the Fork, said when I told her about the party.
She had some smart ideas about why simple crafts like butter-churning have become trendy again.
"I think it's kind of a response to the computer age," Wilson says. And it is part of a larger, do-it-yourself food movement that includes everything from canning, to making homemade bitters or DIY ricotta.
"We're just spending so much of our lives living in a sort-of virtual capacity, staring at things, that's it very therapeutic to do things again," Wilson said.
And these hands-on projects can help us get our hands off our tiny, electronic devices.
Now, of course, foodies don't need to go so low-tech to get freshly churned butter. Specialty shops and home-delivery dairies offer lots of options.
Or, hey, you can also whip up some butter using a stand-mixer recipe in a jiffy.
So, after an evening of butter-churning, were there any converts among the group? Well, Riley Casagrande, Jerry's daughter, seemed to sum it up best.
"It's kinda fun, like, as something special," Riley said. "But if you had to do it all the time, it wouldn't be very fun."
Seems it was the novelty that made it entertaining.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish.
It's our Independence Day program and it's about time we get to the food. So here's something tasty that brings the ruggedness of Colonial days right up into present day America with do-it-yourself enthusiasm. Butter made the old-fashioned way.
As NPR's Allison Aubrey learned, the butter churn is back.
ALLISON AUBREY, BYLINE: So the invitation I got to a butter churning party arrived in an email. Bring the kids, the note said, Saturday at five and BYOC - bring your own cream. By the time I arrived, our host was ready to churn.
JERRY CASAGRANDE: All right, time to make butter. Woo.
AUBREY: That's Jerry Casagrande, a 40-something suburban dad from Alexandria, Virginia, who says he is aware that butter churning has become a bit of a hipster trend, popular with do-it-yourself minded urbanites and homesteaders. But his interest was piqued, he tells his friend Kevin Williams, during a class trip to a Colonial farm with his daughter.
CASAGRANDE: Where we dressed all in Colonial clothing and pretended to live in Colonial days. And one of the big things we did was churn butter.
CASAGRANDE: You are the captain of hip.
CASAGRANDE: It's true.
AUBREY: So what makes this old-fashioned past time so satisfying? Well, Jer says he'll show us.
CASAGRANDE: So, now, I'm pouring in some heavy whipping cream. It's got to be at least 30 percent cream.
AUBREY: As about 10 of us gathered around the churn, which basically looks like a gallon sized glass jar with a crank on top, there's a sense that the show is about to begin. And as two kids beat on a toy drum, the mood is part ceremony, part circus.
CASAGRANDE: And we're off and churning. It's pretty good.
AUBREY: Now to make it work, Jerry says you need about 15 to 20 minutes of vigorous churning.
CASAGRANDE: 'Cause it gets tiring. That's why it's good to have a butter-churning party like this. Here, Kev, you want to churn?
AUBREY: His friend Kevin puts his drink down to give it a whirl.
KEVIN WILLIAMS: You can see it congealing at the top. That's pretty cool.
AUBREY: So why has the simple craft become trendy again? Well, British food writer Bee Wilson has some ideas. She's written a history of kitchen tools.
BEE WILSON: So I think it's kind of a response to the computer age.
AUBREY: Wilson says butter churning is part of a larger do-it-yourself food movement that includes everything from homemade bitters to make your own salami or ricotta cheese.
WILSON: We're just spending so much of our lives living in a sort of virtual capacity staring at things, that's it very therapeutic to do things again.
AUBREY: These are hands-on projects that help us get our hands off our tiny electronic devices.
But back at the butter churning party, things aren't going so well.
CASAGRANDE: It's been a butter disaster.
AUBREY: The buttermilk isn't separating. And Jerry's wife, Kara, steps in to start cranking again.
KARA CASAGRANDE: See if you can bring it to a better battered butter.
AUBREY: So why was it so difficult? Well, afterwards I reached out to Glenda Lehman Ervin, who sells butter churns to small dairies and serious butter makers.
GLENDA LEHMAN ERVIN: Oh my, it could have been a lack of constant churning at a steady pace.
AUBREY: Yeah, come to think of it, that's probably it. We did kind of hand if off to the kids. Now, since I had Glenda on the phone, I asked her about the uptick in butter churn sales to urban foodies. Are there really a growing number of people taking up this hobby?
ERVIN: There are. There are lots of people.
AUBREY: And she says sales tend to spike after bad news events, such as Hurricane Sandy or the Boston Marathon bombings.
ERVIN: They're looking for something that's real, that's authentic.
AUBREY: That helps them circle back to the safety and comfort of home. But at the butter churning party, well, things turned out less than perfect.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: It tastes like whipped cream.
AUBREY: But that doesn't stop everyone from spreading it on some really good bread. Kevin Williams is the first to taste.
WILLIAMS: Very smooth and it's sweet. It's pleasant.
AUBREY: And Kevin says...
WILLIAMS: I mean, if we had to actually make everything we eat, we would need less and it would be better tasting.
AUBREY: And that might be good for lots of us.

The Empire Vanquish marker is a symbol of power. The incomparable
performance and key design elements meet every need of the elite paintball
player. The Vanquish uses an adapted Pressure Balanced Spool Valve engine
that has been transformed to reduce first shot drop off and increase
efficiency. Empire is the pinnacle of advanced technology, where a
hyper-accurate pressure transducer has replaced the gauge to provide input
pressure readings. The extra large OLED screen and 5-way joystick
navigation provide an ultra intuitive user interface for the considerable
board options that caters to any player's desired setup. The innovative
design allows the entire marker to be maintained using the push-button bolt
removal system and yet only requires a single hex wrench for every screw.
The hinged body easily splits for quick and easy access to the board and USB
interface, where custom Empire software allows you to change settings and
design your own custom boot-up screen via USB cable and computer. The
Vanquish shoots super-smooth, super-quiet and super-accurate with the carbon
fiber Super Freak barrel. Empire has created the new standard in paintball
and with the Vanquish in your hands, you will defeat any challenger.

Redbook Anti- Bad Breath Tips
By Dr. Harold Katz - Bad Breath Expert
Posted: August 17, 2009
Redbook recently has compiled a list of bad breath remedies / treatments if you happen to have a problem with bad breath (halitosis). Here are ten bad breath remedies mentioned in Redbook:
- Brush and floss your teeth 2-3X daily.
- Use a tongue scraper to clean your tongue.
- Eat around 6 oz. of plain yogurt each day to reduce the foul odor causing bacteria (due to the active cultures/probiotics in yogurt)
- Eat 'detergent' vegetables - Textured foods like carrots and apples will help clean your tongue
- Stay hydrated, because bacteria thrive when you have dry mouth, which helps cause bad breath
- Drink tea (especially green tea). Tea contains polyphenols, which are compounds that inhibit the growth of bacteria that cause bad breath
- Eat parsley- Since parsley has chlorophyll, this can help halt your halitosis
- Use the correct mouthwash- Rinse at least 30 seconds each night (preferably using a mouthwash without alcohol)
- Chew sugarless gum- this increases the production of saliva, thus hydrating your mouth
- Avoid spicy and strong smelling foods that cause bad breath

Car news
Here it is: the new Chevrolet Corvette
America's newly-minted hero arrives at the Detroit Motor Show. Paul Horrell reports…
America, arise. Here's your newly-minted hero. And Europe, you can forget your old-world snobbishness. America's great sports car is today re-born. It's recognisably a Corvette, but its every component has had a hard-reset. If you want your hammering front-engined V8 rumble to come wrapped in the iridescent technologies of our age, you've come to the right place.
Brutal statistics first. It makes 450bhp and 450 torques from its all-new V8, and cracks 100kph from rest in under four smokin' seconds. Chevy people are so pleased with this, they've slapped on a badge historically reserved for some of the most knee-trembling Vettes of all. Yes, this one's a Stingray.
And that name, and those numbers, are just for the base model. What sort of craziness they'll unleash for the later 'performance' versions we can only begin to imagine.
The engine is still a pushrod V8 of 6.2-litres, but be not deceived. It's all-new, all-aluminium and all-fancy. Direct injection improves power and efficiency, and in gentler moments four cylinders are automatically deactivated so you combust on just a V4, to save fuel.
As before, the transmission lives between the backsides of the driver and passenger, to help weight distribution. What's new is the seven-speed manual.
It still uses a metal chassis structure with plastic body. But this time the chassis is lightweight aluminium and some of the panels – bonnet, roof – are carbonfibre. Those materials were reserved for the hi-po Z06 and ZR1 in the last model.
The glassfibre panels are lighter than before. Entirely fresh is the use of 'carbon-nano composite' for the underbody panels. Me neither. It's a sort staging post between glassfibre and carbonfibre reinforced composite. Lighter and stronger than glass, more feasible than carbon.
Overall, the aluminium frame saves 45kg over the old base car while being a whole lot stiffer. And the new panelwork is another 17kg down.
The suspension, all-wishbones, is lighter and stronger too. And the track's a bit wider. All of which means grip is fundamentally better: Chevy says the new car can corner faster on narrower tyres.
That's the mechanicals. The electronics are pretty top-end too. The Corvette's already sophisticated traction and stability controls have been tweaked and re-worked to act in concert with an electronically controlled limited-slip diff. The options list includes third-generation (the second was pretty fine) Magneride variable dampers.
Driver knob-twiddling can switch between a spectrum of characters, from low-courage low-mu bad-weather cruising to the full blood-and-thunder trackday experience. A mind-bending total of 12 different powertrain, chassis and steering and cockpit systems fall under the selector's influence.
That's because the Corvette is supposed to be an everyday GT as well as a lairy sports car. For the same reason, Chevy has poured unprecedented love into the Corvette's cockpit. The aim is to move it from something that was, let's be honest, a bit Fisher-Price into a place of enough quality to keep 911 drivers happy. And the squishy old seats have been ditched in favour of something that actually holds you in place.
There's an all-new hi-res electronic instrument display that reconfigures itself according to the drive mode. The central screen has gesture-recognition. The driver's head-up display takes another step onward. The passenger gets their own little climate-control screen. Screentastic.
So here we are, hours before the Detroit Show 2013 has even started, and we all know what's going to light up the internet don't we?

(Reuters) - Pope Benedict said on Sunday that Roman Catholic leaders must have the courage to stand up to attacks by "intolerant agnosticism" prevalent in many countries.
The pope and the Church have come under increased attack because of their opposition to homosexual marriage and women priests. The pope has repeatedly denounced what he says are attempts to push religion out of public debate.
The 85-year-old pontiff celebrated Mass on the day Christians in the West mark the Epiphany, and ordained four new archbishops including his personal secretary.
In a homily to about 10,000 people in St Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, he firmly rejected suggestions the Church should change to suit public opinion.
"Anyone who lives and proclaims the faith of the Church is on many points out of step with the prevalent way of thinking," he said. "The approval of the prevailing wisdom, however, is not the criterion to which we submit."
In the United States, a group last month started a petition on the White House website asking the administration of President Barack Obama to list the Catholic Church as a "hate group" because of its opposition to gay marriage.
"Today's regnant agnosticism has its own dogmas and is extremely intolerant regarding anything that would question it and the criteria it employs," the pope said.
"Therefore the courage to contradict the prevailing mindset is particularly urgent for a bishop today. He must be courageous," he said.

It sounds like the pope has been studying Star Wars? This is exactly the same kind of tactic that the evil emperor would use to confuse the issue.
Exactly Michael!
Evil emperor!
"Intolerant," eh? Do I detect a pot accusing a kettle of being black?
The church itself is a vast repository of intolerance - of anything which challenges its supposed authority, of women who would be in authority, of gays and Lesbians and bisexuals and transgendered people whom the church would label as disordered or abnormal. They are equally intolerant of free thought, independent investigation and most of all, the active questioning which is skepticism. Of course they don't like it, because it has the potential to take anyone who practices it out of their control.
And yes, we are intolerant ... of their anachronistic attitude, their authoritarian presumption, and their egotistic arrogance, which has given rise to their intolerance. So, no, the church gets no rhythm from me, no support, no succor, but a voice raised in opposition, which will continue so long as I have strength to sustain it.
And I ask them: what dogmas do we employ? What is so sacrosanct about atheism or agnosticism that is reserved from examination or inquiry? If there is any absolute that I would recognize, it is the right to self-determination, the right to think and act as one sees fit, so long as said action brings no harm to another, and once again, the right to QUESTION. These are not dogmas; They Are FREEDOMS. The church, conversely, is too well known for its laundry list of absolutes. I can't help but notice that it never talks about either rights or freedoms, but focuses on presumed obligations of individuals TO ITSELF, obligations which it itself invented for no other purpose than its own self-perpetuation.
This is an attempt to paint us with the same brush that describes them, a sad and transparent act of desperation ... and one which won't work.
Oh Loren, I couldn't of said it better myself. My thoughts exactly. The Catholic Church is the epitome of intolerance. They are against women priests, birth control, a woman's right to chose, gays, lesbians, transgendered, bisexuals. science and critical thinking and reason.
We have no dogma.
"No, we're not a hate group. You're a hate group!"
Why does this remind me of something I heard on the playground when I was seven?
Exactly Humble Pie! The Catholic Church is the epitome of intolerance.
"In a homily to about 10,000 people in St Peter's Basilica in Vatican City, he firmly rejected suggestions the Church should change to suit public opinion."
Like the public opinion that, perhaps, covering up the rape of countless young boys is probably a poor choice?
Yeah, I think he's already proven that he's "firmly rejected" a lot of things.
And now, with this as my first post on this site, I'd like to leave you with a song:
Tim Minchin - The Pope Song
And that is why Bennie is a DICK.
he firmly rejected suggestions the Church should change to suit public opinion
And of course that wouldn't count as intolerance - of public opinion - would it?
According to that thinking he still endorses slavery but is too chicken to say so. He really is Palpatine.

text: The Oxandrolone hormone does not carry any estrogenic related side effects. It does not aromatize and cannot lead to gynecomastia or water retention due to increases in estrogen levels. It further carries no progestin related activity, which again supports no estrogenic related side effects. Due to water retention being impossible with this steroid, this will decrease the risk of high blood pressure. Excess water retention can promote high blood pressure. Some steroids that do not aromatize can lead to high blood pressure, such as Trenbolone , but Anavar is rarely associated with this trait.

Reviewed By Rafael d (Honolulu, HI) Reviewed for a 2004 Nissan 350Z —8/29/2015 6:08 PM
My wife calls our 350Z enthusiast touring our "yacht" now because the blue sunbrella resembles a boat cover (and she loves the color!). The cover fits our 2004 perfectly. It was pretty tight going on the first time but has relaxed and is just right. We are going thru a very hot spell and the cover does keep the car much cooler even after hours in the full sun. My one concern is whether the inside is really soft enough for my triple coat paint (don't know what you call the glitter coat).

(Reuters) - Chip equipment maker KLA-Tencor Corp's fiscal third-quarter revenue fell in line with analysts' expectations as manufacturers remained cautious about the economy and slow PC sales.
Net income fell to $166 million, or 98 cents per share, from $205 million, or $1.21 per share in the same quarter a year earlier, the company said in a statement on Thursday.
Revenue declined to $729 million from $841 million a year earlier.
Analysts on average were expecting third-quarter revenue of $727 million, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

Cats that don't like being held can become lap kitties. Hold and pet your cat while offering treats, which will teach your feline to associate holding with pleasant things: you, attention and food.
There are two things to consider when naming your cat: how you feel about the name and how your cat feels about it. Some owners give their cats silly names that many of us would never consider giving to a person. But if these silly names bring to mind joy and endearment, those feelings are probably carried over to the cat. For example, Gina Spadafori, co-author of the book Cats for Dummies, has an amateur hockey player friend. He named his two cats Slapshot and Puck.
But I learned another lesson about cat names some years ago, when a gorgeous seal point Himalayan cat suddenly came to me as a stray. I first named her Charlotte, thinking that the pretty, French-sounding name seemed appropriate. She rarely responded. I then started calling her Honey, a name that she immediately loved.
As it turns out, cats often react to hearing words that end with an "ee" sound, according to Dr. David Brunner and Sam Stall, authors of The Cat Owner's Manual. They also like shorter words. That's probably because "ee" sounds and shorter vocalizations are more commonly used in cat-to-cat communication.
Brunner and Stall also wisely point out that you should avoid names that have a hissing noise to them. The name Sherman or Sissy, for example, forces you to make that "shuh" sound that can scare cats. Imagine if someone named you Danger!

Stephanie says: We have 4 cats and 3 came with names that they responded to when called. Bonnie, Jax, and Annabelle. The last one is Moe, when we got her, she was called Madeline and it just didn't fit her. She was 2 months old and did not respond to it. Now she is "Mo-Moe" and responds with a "brrrip!" When called!
Mike says: We have a male, orange tabby cat. We decided to name him Sherbert - it worked because he's orange, and he tends to "brrrrrrrt" for his vocalizations rather than meow (hence the SherbeRt, not Sherbet). Of course, Sherbert has morphed into a ton of nicknames, including Sherbie, Derby, Derbs, and Bert.
Joyce says: I tried various names with my girl when she was a kitten. On the sixth morning when I called her Missy, she came running and rubbed and pawed my legs so Missy it has been since. She often will sing out when I call her name, but now reserves the right to not always come to it.
lorraine mac says: Hi , my cat Bunny is a russian blue she is a very good cat but when i pass her she goes to hit me and sometimes has her claws out she will also go to nip me not hard softly but we do have our bonding time she won;t eat unles i stand ther and pet her why does she hit and nip at me
Vicki Rogers says: My daughter was stationed in Sicily and got a beautiful grey tabby female. Of course the only suitable name was Bella (beautiful) in Italian and she is very smart and every bit a princess with a Sicilian attitude.
Pam says: we have a sweet female domestic cat that we named Isabelle but we call her Izzie which she does know her name. She is very smart. She knocks on the door or the window to come in or out.
Martha says: The cats are too much; I can't wait for the pattern. I've naoenmtid you in my list of knitting bloggers who make me smile. Apparently, this means you should give the award to 10 people whose blogs bring you happiness and inspiration and make you feel happy about blogland. Let them know by posting a comment on their blog so they can pass it on. Beware you may get the award several times. But if you don't do this you won't actually have anything bad happen, so please don't feel pressured: just enjoy the award.

Delightful and informative, clever without being cute...Our audience will love this program. WHRV, Norfolk, VA
Im Flora Delaterre, plant detective. Plants are my beat; phytomedicinals (medicinal compounds from plants) are my specialty.
From 1996 through 2013, The Plant Detective, a project of Montana Public Radio begun by the University of Montana School of Pharmacy, educated western Montanans and ultimately people around the United States (and Canada and the Philippines) about medicinal plants and their importance in human health historically and now. Still available for listening in this site's audio archive, each 1.5-minute episode investigates one plant and its medicinal compounds, benefits, efficacy, risks, or lore. Legendary plant detective Flora Delaterre spearheads investigations and delivers the word from locations as farflung as Sri Lanka and Siberia, the Appalachian Mountains and the rainforests of the Northwest, research labs and your own backyard. The show was available free to radio stations thanks to Montana Public Radio listeners and a variety of sponsors.
As of early 2014, Montana Public Radio continues to podcast The Plant Detective. Subscribe here or at mtpr.org.
Flora composed a special goodbye for Montana Public Radio listeners:
Hello, dear friends! As Ive said for the past eighteen years, Im Flora Delaterre, Plant Detective. Drawn by the mystery of medicinal plants, and their alarming disappearance, I decided to investigate.
Now, I decided to retire. Nineteen years ago, University of Montana Pharmacy professor Rustem Medora heard a show about herbs and spices on Montana Public Radio, and thought there should be one like it on his area of expertise, medicinal plants. He contacted KUFM station manager Terry Conrad, who contacted Beth Judy, producer of the other show, who searched for me and invited me to come to Missoula. Little did we know our little show would turn into a long-term gig.
Over twenty years, we built a show with original theme music composed first by Scott Billideau, then Charles Nichols; worked on each script with Dr. Medora, Mark Blumenthal, Robyn Klein, Botanical Medicine professors and clinicians at Bastyr University in Seattle, Tai Sophia Institute in Maryland, and the Vermont Center for Integrative Herbalism, plus local editors too numerous to name; recorded with Terry, William Marcus, and for many years, my good friend Beth Anne Austein; plotted national distribution with Linda Talbott; and watched the show go national twice, once to 25 other stations, later, with marketing support, to 120 (also in Canada and the Philippines!). An initial grant from the American Society of Plant Biologists and sponsors like Genuine Scooters and Frontier Herbs made the show largely self-supporting financially. Another grant helped MTPR adopt podcasting technology, starting with The Plant Detective.
The only problem was, I could never get too far from a microphone. Listeners know I broadcast from perches around the world, but eventually a microphone does feel like a chain. My sights are set farther, higher, and deeperon places where, evidence suggests, new plants with astounding compounds await, where I might want to linger with no regard for time.
You can still hear The Plant Detective on my website (www.floradelaterre.com, then Radio Show and Audiofile Archive). All 273 shows are there. OR, subscribe to Plant Detective podcasts at mtpr.org (go to Connect, then Podcasts, choose Plant Detective, Subscribe, and how youll listen). Shows will arrive regularly in your inbox.
It was your positive response to our show years ago that made western Montana a center nationwide of public education about medicinal plants. Thank you from the bottom of my own heart, and from the very root tips of all my plant friends! May the plants be with you! May you never stop treating them right, because (by now I hope youre convinced) some day they might be treating you! Love and good health,
"There is no doubt this series is both entertaining and informative. We at WETD 90.7 Alfred, New York, receive many positive comments... Keep up the good work."

Water is a hot commodity. It moves by the caseload at supermarkets and convenience stores nationwide. Its sales soon could overtake those of soda.
A colorfully designed, recyclable plastic bottle with water from some mountain spring or a purified version of what comes out of the tap has become essential equipment for getting through the day.
But what about good old-fashioned, but out-of-fashion, water from the public supply?
The National Rural Water Association held its annual Great American Water Taste Test on Wednesday, and it turned out that the best-tasting drink in the house came from Curtis, Neb., population 935.
"There's no treatment whatsoever," Mike Stanzel of the Nebraska Rural Water Association said of his gold medal-winning water. "It's right out of the ground, right into the tower and right out of the sink."
The silver medal went to Stansbury Park, Utah, and the bronze to Fulton, Mo.
What makes a good-tasting rural water? As with wine: clarity, bouquet and taste.
"When they say bouquet, it should have no bouquet," said one of the judges, Jacki Ponti-Lazaruk, an administrator who's responsible for water and environmental programs in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Development office.
Other judges came from the USDA, as well, and from the White House Office of Management and Budget.
The contenders had all won state competitions. After a day of sampling and more sampling, five finalists emerged.
The event was the climax of the water association's annual Rural Water Rally, which began Monday, drawing members from 49 states. They advocate for small, rural towns, whose sizes belie the responsibility they share for large portions of America's food and energy production capacity. Water is their lifeblood.
"Water and wastewater infrastructure is critical to promoting public health and economic growth," Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., said in a statement after meeting with members of the Mississippi chapter of the water association. "The rural development provisions in the farm bill acknowledge this problem and offer tools to help overcome these challenges."
Indeed, the group cheered passage of the farm legislation last week, which included $150 million in mandatory funds to address a crucial service backlog, as well as extensions of grant programs for water facilities and services.
Among them is the circuit rider program, which aids towns that are short of resources in running water systems. Circuit riders travel their states providing managerial and technical assistance, and they prove vital in emergencies and natural disasters, when water service is crucial.
As for how water should taste, Ponti-Lazaruk put it this way: "You want it to be as clean and crisp as possible. You know good water when you taste it."

Can Information Theory Explain Consciousness?
Consciousness: Confessions of a Romantic Reductionist
The problem of consciousness remains with us. What exactly is it and why is it still with us? The single most important question is: How exactly do neurobiological processes in the brain cause human and animal consciousness? Related problems are: How exactly is consciousness realized in the brain? That is, where is it and how does it exist in the brain? Also, how does it function causally in our behavior?
To answer these questions we have to ask: What is it? Without attempting an elaborate definition, we can say the central feature of consciousness is that for any conscious state there is something that it feels like to be in that state, some qualitative character to the state. For example, the qualitative character of drinking beer is different from that of listening to music or thinking about your income tax. This qualitative character is subjective in that it only exists as experienced by a human or animal subject. It has a subjective or first-person existence (or "ontology"), unlike mountains, molecules, and tectonic plates that have an objective or third-person existence. Furthermore, qualitative subjectivity always comes to us as part of a unified conscious field. At any moment you do not just experience the sound of the music and the taste of the beer, but you have both as part of a single, unified conscious field, a subjective awareness of the total conscious experience. So the feature we are trying to explain is qualitative, unified subjectivity.
Now it might seem that is a fairly well-defined scientific task: just figure out how the brain does it. In the end I think that is the right attitude to have. But our peculiar history makes it difficult to have exactly that attitude—to take consciousness as a biological phenomenon like digestion or photosynthesis, and figure out how exactly it works as a biological phenomenon. Two philosophical obstacles cast a shadow over the whole subject. The first is the tradition of God, the soul, and immortality. Consciousness is not a part of the ordinary biological world of digestion and photosynthesis: it is part of a spiritual world. It is sometimes thought to be a property of the soul and the soul is definitely not a part of the physical world. The other tradition, almost as misleading, is a certain conception of Science with a capital "S." Science is said to be "reductionist" and "materialist," and so construed there is no room for consciousness in Science. If it really exists, consciousness must really be something else. It must be reducible to something else, such as neuron firings, computer programs running in the brain, or dispositions to behavior.
There are also a number of purely technical difficulties to neurobiological research. The brain is an extremely complicated mechanism with about a hundred billion neurons…

Lubitz' TrotskyanaNet © (or, LTN for short) provides a considerable amount of material – chiefly bio-bibliographical informations, research tools, essays and miscellanies – related to Leon Trotsky (Nov. 7, 1879 - Aug. 21, 1940) as well as to Trotskyism and Trotskyists.
LTN went online on August 21, 2004; it was relaunched on April 10, 2006, August 21, 2011, and August 21, 2014. It is called up round about 100,000 times per year.
LTN is an ongoing project; most of its chapters were created between 2004 and 2008, some being revised and amended several times, others remaining unchanged since then.
From 2009 our monumental Lubitz' Leon Trotsky Bibliography (LLTB) is forming the centrepart of LTN; it is revised and amended semi-annually.
is now online (17th edition, July 2018)!
To crib parts of a website for own purposes or for redistribution on other websites does not exactly cover the plagiarist in glory.Rather, such a behaviour is absolutely inacceptable and lacks any integrity, let alone any scholarly requirement.
All bio-bibliographical and related material provided on TrotskyanaNet is available for re-publication as long as such reprints include verbatim copy of the article/chapter/part in its entirety, respecting its integrity.
Furthermore, reprints must cite the author(s) and "Lubitz' TrotskyanaNet" as the original source including a "live link" to the respective article/chapter/part. The date of access/viewing must be given too.Thank you.
The main subject of our TrotskyanaNet website, Leon Trotsky [Лев Давидович Троцкий], was born as Lev (or, Leib) Bronshtein [Лев Бронштейн] at Ianovka (Russian Empire) on Nov. 7, 1879 (=Oct. 26 according to the Julian calendar style, see also the Genealogy chapter within TrotskyanaNet), and murdered in Coyoacán (Mexico). He was an eminent Marxist revolutionary theoretician and uncompromising internationalist, protagonist of the Russian revolutions in 1905 and 1917, creator and chief of the Red Army, leader of the anti-Stalinist Russian and International Left Opposition, founder of the Fourth International, distinguished author, editor, journalist, essayist, polemicist, historian, and literary critic – of course one of the most enigmatic and controversial political figures of the 20th century. He was (and still is) the subject of an immense amount of scholarly, polemical and ephemeral literature as well as of films, dramas, novels and other fiction; for all those and similar materials we use the term "Trotskyana".
The photograph above (taken by P. Lubitz) depicts a portrait of Trotsky (oil on canvas, ca. 40x60 cm) which was painted by Eduard Panosian (Leipzig) in 2012 as a commissioned work based on photographs shot in Moscow in 1919/1920 portraying 40 years old Trotsky as People's Commissar of War; the painting forms part of our extensive private Trotskyana collection.
For a nice little slide-show (duration: 3'56") depicting Trotsky's life in photographs, caricatures, paintings etc. see the video Trotsky on YouTube.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The members of The Lone Bellow were standing around after opening for Dwight Yoakam at a recent show when they overheard three good ol' boys discussing their music.
One turned to the other and asked what kind of music they'd just heard. Was it country or folk or rock or gospel?
"And then one of the guys goes, 'That there was Brooklyn country,'" Kanene Pipkin said. "Isn't that perfect?"
That trio of Yoakam fans unknowingly coined an ideal term to describe the current folk-rock movement — and one of its rising stars. The Lone Bellow has been on something of a run since releasing its self-titled debut album in January, distinguishing itself from the banjo-toting crowd in Brooklyn with a big sound that's drawing a lot of attention.
The trio arrives at a fortuitous time and bearing the hallmarks of the movement's most popular bands. Lead singer Zach Williams has the same kind of smoky, soulful voice as Mumford & Sons lead singer Marcus Mumford. And the band favors the emotionally varied boy-girl harmonies that have helped The Lumineers become one of music's surprise success stories. The Lone Bellow also shares producer Charlie Peacock with The Civil Wars.
"I feel like there's definitely some sort of movement going on and I'm honored that people lump us on that list because that music has moved me personally," Williams said.
It's moving more and more new fans each day, taking in willing converts the way The Lone Bellow did on a recent two-night stand with Yoakam in Nashville's Ryman Auditorium. Yoakam draws a crazy-quilt melange of fans, from deep-woods traditional country diehards to coffee-sipping, Americana-loving hipsters.
Each night the trio of Williams, Pipkin and Brian Elmquist drew in the crowd quickly, won them over with a sound that's more electrified than their peers and earned standing ovations — something more difficult to pull off in apathetic Nashville than a hit single.
They're sure they did it with their music — Williams neglected to even tell the crowd the band's name on the first night. Midway through their set fans were singing along to music they'd never heard before, picking up on the chorus and joining their voices.
"That's what seems to be happening at live shows," Elmquist said. "We're seeing people start to sing along. We're not asking them to. They're singing. They're singing over top of us sometimes. So it's a beautiful thing to be a part of."
The new album is no rehash of current trends. The trio recorded it 2 1/2 years ago with Peacock in New York and Nashville and held onto it until they found a management and label team they felt comfortable with.
And unlike their counterparts in the movement, they're not a strictly an acoustic affair. A once-sacriligious kick drum isn't uncommon in today's folk-rock alignment. But The Lone Bellow — named for a particularly scary childhood night Williams endured on his grandparents' farm that included a haunting bull's bellow — kicks it up even more with a full drum kit, electric guitar and a willingness to rock.
Though based in Brooklyn now, Williams and Elmquist grew up in rural Georgia, while Pipkin was raised in Virginia. Williams said he grew up listening to The Judds, The Highwaymen and other rocking '80s country acts while at his grandparents'. They also incorporate R&B and gospel melodies into their sound.
They all came to Brooklyn looking to make the same kind of human connection they'd grown up with in the country. Their music has been the perfect conduit.
"I definitely think folk music in its very essence is communal," Pipkin said. "It's people getting together and playing instruments and singing harmonies, and all doing it in a room together, as opposed to somebody creating something by themselves on a computer. And I think our generation has so much time by themselves at a computer that folk music is something that feels a little more organic or tangible."

On additions to his grooming regime: "'I was a brush-your-teeth-and-have-a-shower kind of guy. I can't tell if it's because of my association with Dior or because I'm older, but I've started moisturizing…It's been a quite profound change in my life.'"
On his partnership with Dior Homme: "I like trying to do ambitious things. That's what got me really enthusiastic about the campaign, that [Dior] wasn't shying away from anything."

Congressmembers, senators say deadly crashes serve as urgent reminder of need for reforms
Following two deadly airplane crashes, members of Western New York's federal delegation are calling on the Federal Aviation Administration to move quickly to finalize aviation safety rules requiring new pilot training standards.
"We are urging the FAA to work with expediency to finalize what has been a long, bureaucratic process of rule implementation prompted by the lessons we learned after the crash of Flight 3407," said Congressman Brian Higgins. "More than four years have passed since that tragic day and yet the wait continues for changes which will save lives."
"It is unconscionable that the FAA has not fully implemented the flight training rules that we passed in the aftermath of the Flight 3407 crash in Western New York," Rep. Louise Slaughter said. "The greatest way to honor those who were lost - as well as the victims' families who paid their own way to Washington many times to lobby for this legislation - is to work to prevent future tragedies. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of these victims, as does our solemn pledge to continue fighting for improvements to airline safety."
"The life-saving measures that Congress enacted in the Airline Safety Act were designed to prevent tragedies similar to Flight 3407, and the yet recent crashes in San Francisco and Alaska are tragic reminders that there is more work to do to accomplish one level of safety," said U.S. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand "These are preventable disasters, and there must not be any further delay in action to implement these critical safety improvements."
"This is another unfortunate example of the need for the FAA to fully implement flight safety requirements, and do so as soon as possible," Rep. Tom Reed said. "We will not stop fighting for all victims and their families on this public safety issue. We do not need yet another fatal crash for the FAA to fully implement safety protections."
"The sooner we get these rules on the books, the better - that's why we're keeping our foot on the gas until these crucial new airline safety standards for pilot training are in place," U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer said. "The tragedy and lessons of Flight 3407 must make air travel safer, and we are urging that the FAA keep its word and get these regulations finalized on schedule."
On July 6, Asiana Airlines Flight 214 crashed while approaching San Francisco International Airport, resulting in two deaths and more than 160 people injured (of the 300-plus passengers on board). On July 7, an air taxi crashed at the Soldotna Airport in Alaska killing all 10 people on board. The National Transportation Safety Board sent a team to investigate both crashes.
While details are still emerging, initial reports indicate the Asiana pilot had limited experience flying a Boeing 777 and it may have been the first time he was landing this particular type of aircraft.
Working closely with Flight 3407 families, the Western New York delegation pushed for, and in 2010 Congress approved, sweeping new aviation safety requirements for pilots and airlines, which included new transparencies for regional carriers, increased training for pilots and new policies to protect against pilot fatigue.
The delegation said a number of deadlines for rule implementation required under the Airline Safety Act were previously missed, delaying important safety provisions. The Congressmembers want to make sure all upcoming deadlines are met. A rule requiring 1,500 hours of flight training for co-pilots is due Aug. 1. Another rule requiring additional simulator training on stall situations for pilots is due in October.
Colgan Air Flight 3407 crashed on approach to the Buffalo Niagara International Airport on Feb. 12, 2009, killing all on board and one inside a home. Pilot training and fatigue were cited as factors in the crash.

The Missouri Senate has passed legislation that would ensure that pharmacies could refuse to stock certain prescription drugs, such as emergency contraception.
The legislation passed the Senate by a 24-9 vote Thursday and now heads to the House.
Sponsoring Sen. David Sater is a Republican pharmacist from southwest Missouri who describes the legislation a business freedom issue. Sater says some states have mandated that birth control or emergency contraception be stocked by pharmacies.
But he says a pharmacy — like a clothing store — should be free to sell what it chooses.
The bill was opposed by some Democrats. Senate Minority Leader Jolie Justus, of Kansas City, cited concerns the bill could be used to limit access to birth control.
