Cryptocurrency fever is heating up. Even the less-than-legitimate websites that hawk opportunities to buy the latest coin are struggling to keep up with its price. Whatever societal or technological value blockchain technology may have in the long run, it's hard to deny that the market is filled with speculators .
In the midst of this fever, it's very difficult to come up with rational assessments. If you're a cryptocurrency enthusiast, people assume that you stand to gain financially from pumping up the price. If you're against it, proponents will accuse you of sour grapes: you regret the missed opportunity to buy in at a low price, and you're hoping that the price will crash out of spite. Or perhaps you just have insufficient imagination to understand the revolutionary potential of the blockchain. The cynics say "tulip fever" and "speculation bubble"; the enthusiasts say "HODL" and "fiat is dead."
Investors argue that Bitcoin's apparent lack of an

beyond what people are willing to pay for it is really just the same flaw that gold, or fiat currency, has. Cynics argue that the whole thing is one vast pump-and-dump scheme , especially when it comes to the more obscure coins. If you think that's a conspiracy theory, you should see nike free run 50 womens training capris with skirt
Personally, I bow at the altar of the
Gartner Technological Hype Cycle
. It seems obvious that blockchain technology is extremely overhyped when companies can

to include the word " blockchain " and enjoy a bump in share price of up to 200 percent—without any real indication of how a company that makes iced tea is going to leverage the incredible power of cryptographic ledgers to its advantage. Blockchain technology may well be the next internet, doing for transactions and record-keeping what the internet did for information—but before the internet conquered all, there was a dotcom bubble and a dotcom crash. When the dust has settled, we shall see, but I'd be surprised if bitcoin doesn't crash before it settles on a long-term value.
More than speculating over the price, though, I'm preoccupied by the recent spate of reports about the energy use of bitcoin.
Eric Holthaus at Grist noted that the 35 terawatt hours (TWh) used by computers as they crunch through the mathematics required to mine new bitcoins is starting to become a concern. "More than 150 individual countries in the world consume less energy annually. And that power-hungry network is currently increasing its energy use every day by about 450 gigawatt-hours, roughly the same amount of electricity the entire country of Haiti uses in a year," he writes. As more and more people join the hunt for bitcoin, and the calculations become ever more difficult, the energy consumption of each transaction will only grow.

DuBois defeats Punxsy on walk-off, 4-3
DUBOIS — Twice Wednesday, the Punxsy baseball team scored the go-ahead run or runs in the top of an inning. Also twice, DuBois was there to answer soon thereafter.
Unfortunately for the Chucks, DuBois' final go-ahead runs came in the last inning, as Dom Kriner's two-run, walk-off single pushed the Beavers past Punxsy at Showers' Field in DuBois, 4-3.
Punxsy (6-7) scored once in the fourth inning, and DuBois (9-4) followed with two in the bottom half of the inning. The Chucks then edged ahead with two runs in the sixth before Kriner's one-out, first-pitch single to left field scored the tying and game-winning runs.
"It's unfortunate, it stings, and I told the kids that it should sting. That means you want it," Punxsy manager Mike Dickey said. "That's a playoff-tester right there. We feel like we let one get away, but we'll be better for it."
A leadoff single by Derek Heckathorne in the bottom of the seventh started the DuBois rally. Anthony Vizza then put down a bunt that Punxsy pitcher Joe Pisano threw into center field in an attempt to get the lead runner.
With runners on first and second and no outs, Nate Liddle bunted them both up a base before Kriner's shot to left bounced to Punxsy left fielder Luke Janocha. Janocha was unable to field the ball cleanly, and Vizza scored easily.
"You have to give them credit," Dickey said. "Then again, if we make a play on the (first sacrifice) bunt, we're still playing right now."
Liddle earned the win for the Class AAAA Beavers. He pitched a scoreless seventh inning and allowed a hit.
Garret Peterson finished with the no-decision, though he struck out 10 Punxsy batters and surrendered three runs (one earned) during six innings.
Last Thursday, Peterson threw a complete game shutout during a 2-0 victory over Punxsy's District IX Class AAA rival, St. Marys. He struck out 13 batters during that game.
Punxsy's Tyler Skerkavich singled and scored on a Brodi Lowmaster single in the fourth inning. Two Punxsy errors and two DuBois hits helped the Beavers jump ahead 2-1 in the bottom half of the fourth. Clayton Read hit an RBI single during that inning for DuBois.
Jordan Mesoraco and Skerkavich each reached on an error in the sixth inning when Lowmaster was intentionally walked following a Pisano strikeout. With the bases loaded, Janocha sliced a two-run single that put the Chucks ahead 3-2.
"We battled. I was proud of the way we battled back," Dickey said. "We got down against a tough pitcher and got our guy a lead."
Punxsy, however, couldn't add to its slim lead in the sixth, as Jamie Bush and Neal struck out to end the inning. Dickey said that the little things — situational hitting, swinging at bad pitches and looking at strike three — are what cost the Chucks Wednesday.
"In baseball, it always comes down to the little things. Early in the game, we missed some signs that might have taken us out of a couple of innings," he said. "In a game like this, you have to capitalize on your chances, because you don't get too many. We capitalized somewhat, but we didn't quite maximize."
Pisano pitched a complete game for Punxsy. He gave up eight hits, didn't walk a batter and struck out three.
Both Lowmaster and Janocha singled twice.
The Chucks hope to end a three-game losing streak when they host DuBois CC at 4:15 p.m. today.
"The good thing about this is we get the bad taste out of our mouth, and we get to play tomorrow," Dickey said. "Hopefully, we're going to come out with a fire, a little hurt and a little hunger in our gut to go out there and play hard."

A self-made, scrappy professional reaches the top only to be brought down by conflicting desires and his own hubris
A self-made, scrappy professional reaches the top only to be brought down by conflicting desires and his own hubris. Amid the wreckage, he reconsiders what's important to him and begins anew, success attainable once again but not at all certain. That sounds like the outline of a movie directed by William Friedkin, the Oscar winner behind "The French Connection" (1971), "The Exorcist" (1973) and more than a dozen other films plus plays and even operas. It's also the theme of a page-turning memoir in which Friedkin revisits his victories and defeats while taking the blame for dropping the brass ring.
If measured by ticket sales alone, Friedkin's filmmaking career peaked in the early 1970s. His first nondocumentary, the Sonny and Cher oddity "Good Times," was released in 1967. His most recent movie was 2011's love-it-or-hate-it shocker "Killer Joe." That's four years to reach the heights and nearly 40 years to ponder the fall from box-office grace.
"I embody arrogance, insecurity and ambition that spur me on as they hold me back," he writes. He later observes: "Every one of my films, plays and operas has been marked by conflict, sometime vindictive. The common denominator is me, so what does that tell you?"
Friedkin's memoir shows just how much talent and instinct need a boost from serendipity. The director turned to Gene Hackman to play the lead cop in "The French Connection" only after the studio refused to consider Jackie Gleason and when newspaper columnist Jimmy Breslin proved to be out of his element. Yet Friedkin's instincts also led him to sign up the relatively unknown Roy Scheider as Hackman's partner and to put novice cinematographer Owen Roizman in charge of making the movie feel like a documentary.
Getting the best-selling novel "The Exorcist" on the screen had similar moments of brilliance and good fortune. Friedkin signed and then paid off actor Stacy Keach so he could hire Jason Miller to play the faith-challenged priest. Audrey Hepburn would have played the mother had Friedkin been willing to shoot the film in Rome. Anne Bancroft would have come aboard had she not been pregnant. That allowed Ellen Burstyn a chance to persuade Friedkin to cast her in a career-defining role.
Back-to-back hits made Friedkin wealthy and in demand — and fueled his worst instincts. They were at the fore when he ran wildly over budget on "Sorcerer" (1977), a $20 million flop back then but a movie that deserves a reappraisal today. (Friedkin turned down Steve McQueen because the star wanted to film in the U.S. instead of a jungle somewhere. That was a mistake, Friedkin acknowledges.)
A huge question mark hovers over "Cruising," a 1980 detective film set in New York's gay bar scene. A controversial subject, no doubt, but what made Friedkin think that moviegoers wanted to enter that world? Mainly that he was leading them, a sign of the arrogance that helped sink him in Hollywood.
Relatively few films followed. One of his best, "To Live and Die in L.A." (1985), didn't get the box office it deserved but showed that Friedkin could still make 'em like he used to. In the years that followed, the director enjoyed an artistic challenge staging operas around the world. But getting a film off the ground never got any easier.
Only Friedkin, now 77, knows whether reliving the past can help exorcize any lingering demons. (One place he doesn't go: the romantic life that led to four marriages.) Movie fans will celebrate the natural storyteller at work in the pages of "The Friedkin Connection," a welcome reminder that it takes so much more than talent to make a movie — and to keep making them.

I. In Focus This Week
Election officials remain busy even in 'off-years'
Talks of costs and scheduling often turn to consolidation
Don't let the odd numbers at the end of the calendar year fool you, many election officials across the country are just as busy in 2011 conducting elections as they were in 2010 and will be in 2012.
In addition to juggling her other duties as county clerk, Kara Clark Summers of Cape Girardeau County, Mo. will spend countless hours in 2011 running multiple local elections and making preparations for the big races in 2012.
"Most people don't realize that the process starts so far in advance with the filing of paperwork," Clark Summers said. "The work of elections starts months before an election."
She added there is so much overlap with deadlines for elections that it really does seem, even in the "off-years" that elections are one, ongoing process and not just an election "season."
It can be easy for voters, the media and other observers to get caught up in high-profile presidential elections or the much-hyped midterm elections like we just experienced in November 2010. These are elections that rally the whole country, electing a president or when more than 6,000 legislative seats throughout the nation are on the line.
And as thousands of legislators settle in to their new roles, many may think that for the most part, the next flurry of elections will not come until the fall of 2012.
However, numerous state, local and municipal elections are slated to take place in 2011 — and that doesn't include the many special elections filling up the calendar.
A handful of states, including Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, Virginia, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin will hold various statewide elections, in addition to local and municipal elections. Mississippi and Louisiana in particular will hold both statewide legislative elections and gubernatorial races on November 8th.
With so many elections scheduled, how do election administrators, particularly those at the local level manage what now-a-days seems less like an election season, but rather an election year?
"To say it bluntly…it's a challenge" said Louise Stine, county clerk in Berrien County, Michigan.
Stine noted that this is especially difficult for smaller counties that may not have a specific person other than the county clerk who is responsible for administering elections.
In some jurisdictions there has been a push to move these off-year elections to even-numbered years in which other, often times larger races are held as well. And some states and larger counties look to not necessarily move elections to a new year, but rather a new date within the same year on which other countywide, or statewide elections are scheduled to take place.
This practice gives election administrators the opportunity to focus their efforts and resources into fewer days, serving to alleviate some of the stresses that come with a full election calendar.
And counties like Miami-Dade County in Florida, where there are already over 30 elections scheduled this year, the benefits of election consolidation often go beyond stress management.
Carolina Lopez, special projects administrator in Miami-Dade was quick to point out that in many cases where municipalities or other small-scale elections move their dates to coincide with countywide elections they are able to reap benefits such as cost savings, greater media attention and higher turnout.
"Essentially there are many incentives for municipalities to partner with counties when it comes to elections, it comes down to a bigger bang for their buck," Lopez said.
She did note that these changes do have other effects, with more names and offices on the ballot which can lead to longer lines at the polls, potentially confusing voters on Election Day.
Back in Michigan, Stine noted that in 2003 and 2004 the state legislature approved more than 26 bills which consolidated elections within the state to four specific dates. Stine said those changes were "significant and welcome."
No matter what changes have been made though, 2011 will undoubtedly prove to be a busy election year for many states, counties and municipalities around the country.

I want to thank our honorary degree recipients – Dr. Lewis and Dr. Tabin – for being with us today. Your presence has indeed connected us to history and to discovery. We are proud to count you as members of our Union community.
I also want to recognize Congressman Paul Tonko who joins our stage party today. Congressman Tonko has done so much for our city and region and has been a good friend to Union College. Your very presence today honors Union and the Class of 2013. Thank you.
I would call your attention to the list of prize recipients, printed in the back pages of the Commencement Program. They received their awards at Prize Day but I would ask you to join me in recognizing them today with your applause.
Would all of you join me in thanking the members of the Union faculty who have shared their love of learning with you these past four years and especially those who are retiring: Ruth Stephenson from the English Department and Robert Wells from the History Department.
We need to also thank Professor William Finlay, our Marshall, the members of the Commencement Committee as well as the entire Union staff for making this day so special. Many hands have readied our campus and prepared for this day of celebration. Please join me in thanking all of them with your applause.
I'd also like to thank Stacie Schwartz ('13), U-Sustain, and the Commencement Committee for implementing a change in our hydration strategy for the Class of '13. You will note that you enjoy boxed instead of plastic bottled water today. These boxes are made largely from renewable resources and have much lower CO2 emissions that their plastic counterparts. Please join me in thanking them for helping us advance our institutional commitment to making more sustainable choices.
Members of the Class of 2013, you have many to thank for helping you reach this day. In particular, you owe a debt of gratitude to family and friends who sustained your with their love and support. I would invite you all to stand, turn to face your family and friends who are in attendance today, and join me in thanking them with applause.
I invite all of you – graduates, friends, family members, faculty, staff, and administrators – to join the divisional receptions immediately following this ceremony. Before we take our leave, however, I'd ask you to be seated for just a few more minutes and allow me to say a few words to the members of the Class of 2013.
Your class, the "great" Class of 2013, has contributed much during your stay at Union. You've inspired us with your intellectual curiosity and pursuit of ideas. We've marveled at your poster and oral presentations at the Steinmetz Symposium and in the Wold and Olin Atriums; your theatrical performances in Yulman Theater; your exhibits in the Arts Atrium and Mandeville Gallery; your musical performances in Memorial Chapel and the Emerson Concert Hall; your athletic performances on Bailey and College Park fields, the Central Park diamond, and the Mohawk River as well as in Messa Rink and the Viniar Center; and, your dancing in the Nott Memorial and the Henle Dance Pavilion. Members of the Class of 2013 have earned honors for themselves and the College through their participation in regional and national competitions, including the SAE Aero Competition, the SAE Aero Design Competition, and the ASME Human Powered Vehicle Competition. Members of your class have added luster to Union by presenting at prestigious professional meetings such as the Experimental Biology Conference and gatherings of the Geological Society of America, Northeastern Geologic Society of America, and the American Neuropsychiatric Association. Members of the Class of 2013 have received national recognition, earning Watson Fellowships.
And, you've accomplished much more through your generosity of spirit and commitment to improving the lives of others. At yesterday's Baccalaureate ceremony in Memorial Chapel, I talked about Congressman Lewis' impact on history through his commitment to social transformation. I also quoted from his book, Across That Bridge, wherein he asserts that "social transformation begins from within." I voiced my hope that your experiences at Union had helped facilitate an internal transformation that prepared you to take your place in the world beyond Union.
All evidence suggests that your class, the "great" Class of 2013, has already translated inner convictions into actions and that you have and will indeed make the world a better place. Members of your class forged a College Honor Code that sets a premium on integrity. Members of your class have raised our awareness of the need to attend to the mental and physical wellness of our community. Members of your class participated in "Mont Lawn," a program offering free summer camp experiences to inner-city children. Members of your class opened the eyes of local children to the value of the arts by creating a free "Dance is Life" program and a program in "Visual Thinking Strategies." Members of your class helped other local children, providing after school programming, tutoring in the schools, and mentoring those in need of role models. Members of your class aided patients facing psychological challenges by developing dance-based therapy programs. Members of your class increased our awareness of the tragic consequences of human trafficking and gender violence. Members of your class organized major fundraising efforts and provided direct assistance to victims of super storm Sandy. Members of your class coordinated U-Care day, bringing hundreds of local children and their families to campus and building bridges to our local community. Members of your class organized a Greek Task Force, seeking to harness this important part of our community to advance Union's mission and to help communities beyond our gates. Members of your class have helped feed the hungry through Campus Kitchens and Empty Bowls projects. And the list goes on.
I have tried to remind you throughout your four years here that with the opportunities Union has given you comes responsibility: responsibility to make a difference. You are well on your way but keep at it. The world needs you!
I would like to close today's Commencement ceremony and send you on your way, by paraphrasing the charge that Union's first President, John Blair Smith, gave to Union students over 200 years ago: "as you leave this place, do so ready for a useful life." No matter what you choose to do in the years ahead, remember that your academic lineage is a great one and your lineage beckons you to make a difference.
All of us at Union look forward to watching what you do and to welcoming you home to this special place many times in the years ahead. I wish you the best, members of the Class of 2013, you sisters and brothers under the laws of Minerva, you daughters and sons of Union College.

Jul 17, 2012 - Financial insecurity has reached record levels as more Americans sacrifice long-term financial goals to pay for today's necessities. According to Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. Consumer Advocate Eleanor Blayney, CFP®, consumers can reclaim their long-term financial security by following a smart, pragmatic approach to investing.
"Today many Americans lack the financial resources to exercise a full range of choice over how they live," says Blayney. "Aspirations of owning a home, providing for a family, and retiring comfortably are being hampered by today's financial necessities. By prudently investing now, one can open up the future to the possibilities the American Dream promises."
Creating an investment strategy as part of a financial plan is one of the 12 steps in CFP Board's year-long "12 for '12 Approach to Financial Confidence." Blayney recommends that consumers consider six key points when making an investment plan.
"Investing involves first looking at the financial realities of today – at one's cash flow, debt, and exposure to risk and then considering the possibilities for the future: a secure and healthy retirement, education for children, and a satisfying legacy for family and community," says Blayney. "The critical planning link between the two, between today's facts and tomorrow's goals, is investing. Let a CFP® professional help you invest for the future you aspire to achieve."
12 for '12 APPROACH TO FINANCIAL CONFIDENCE
In January, CFP Board launched a new initiative called "12 for '12 Approach to Financial Confidence" where all the components and steps for successful personal financial management are presented, one each month throughout the year including: establishing realistic goals, tax planning, emergency and risk management, investing, retirement, debt management, and estate planning.
ABOUT CFP BOARD: The mission of Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. is to benefit the public by granting the CFP® certification and upholding it as the recognized standard of excellence for competent and ethical personal financial planning.

By Gabriel Debenedetti
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The first real test of the damage to Chris Christie's chances of being the Republican nominee for president in 2016 from the "Bridgegate" scandal could come during the next few days.
Christie is scheduled to attend a $1,000-per-ticket reception for New Jersey Republican House candidate Steve Lonegan on Thursday. He then will head to Florida for a series of weekend events aimed at raising money for Republican Governor Rick Scott's re-election campaign, plus a meeting with wealthy Republican donors from all over the United States.
Interviews with a half-dozen Republican strategists, donors and operatives indicate that if Christie is interested in a bid for the White House, as many suspect, he has some work to do.
He needs to reassure big-money donors - even those who have seen him as the party's best hope of winning the race to be Democratic President Barack Obama's successor - that the scandal in which his aides apparently created massive traffic jams to get back at a Democratic politician in New Jersey will not grow enough to destroy his prospects.
"Everyone is worried," Republican strategist Ford O'Connell said. "But the donors are going to take a wait-and-see approach. They're not cutting off the spigot yet."
The Florida events were planned before emails released last week indicated that top Christie aides orchestrated lane closures last September on a stretch of highway leading to the George Washington Bridge, possibly to retaliate against the Democratic mayor of nearby Fort Lee, New Jersey, who had declined to endorse him in last year's gubernatorial elections.
Christie has said he did not know about his staff's role in the lane closures before last week's revelations.
The traffic scandal heated up just as Christie's team was starting to raise his profile as chairman of the Republican Governors Association (RGA) and allow him to play a star-making role in gathering money for candidates in the 2014 midterm elections. The elections will decide 36 state governorships and control of the U.S. Congress.
No individual candidate has publicly backed away from fundraising with Christie, but Republican governors aside from Scott have remained quiet about any plans to appear with him, in effect distancing themselves from the "Bridgegate" scandal.
Many of Christie's most prominent financial backers have also been largely silent since the scandal broke.
An exception has been Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone, who told Politico that he approved of Christie's apologetic press conference last week. On Wednesday, Langone told The Washington Post that enthusiasm for Christie among major Republican donors "has never wavered."
Other major backers of Christie, including New Jersey businessman and philanthropist Woody Johnson, owner of the National Football League's New York Jets, have mostly been silent.
Christie - who raised more than $12 million last year in easily winning re-election in the mostly Democratic state - is regarded as a powerful fundraiser, thanks in part to his ties to Wall Street as a former lobbyist for the securities industry. A group of Republican donors, including Langone, unsuccessfully tried to convince him to run for president in 2012.
"Donors really like Chris Christie, especially Wall Street donors," Republican strategist and lobbyist John Feehery said.
But if the state and federal investigations into the traffic scandal gain momentum, some Republican donors will look to others to lead the party's fundraising this year and to be contenders for the presidential nomination, Feehery said.
"If it turns out he's a huge big liar" about not knowing about the lane-closure plan in advance, "that's when they find somebody else" to follow, he said.
As chairman of the RGA, Christie was planning to tour the country raising money and campaigning for several of the 22 Republican governors up for re-election. It could give him a platform to promote himself while gathering potential allies and donors for a White House bid.
But one political casualty of the scandal was the staffer who was expected to help turn Christie into a national fundraising dynamo.
Last week, Christie dismissed aide Bill Stepien from the RGA, where Stepien was expected to assist in building a national network of political and financial support. Stepien, Christie's former campaign manager, had worked at the RGA for less than one month. Christie has not announced a replacement.
RGA spokesman Jon Thompson said the group is standing behind Christie.
"Governor Christie is a very effective fundraiser and leader for the RGA and there's no doubt that will continue this year as we aggressively focus on 36 gubernatorial elections," Thompson said.
Tim Pawlenty, a former Minnesota governor who briefly ran for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, played down fears that the New Jersey scandal would seriously damage Christie, who is well-liked by many in the party's establishment but viewed as not conservative enough by many on the influential far-right wing of the party.
"I know Chris Christie, and I would be astonished if there were any evidence indicating he knew about these troubling events" in advance, Pawlenty told Reuters. "I can't imagine that he would have known and condoned these decisions and these actions."
Meanwhile, as Democrats in New Jersey's legislature are investigating the traffic scandal, Democratic strategists are watching for clues that the governor's relationship with Republican donors has changed.
"Donors are inherently risk-averse," said one Democratic strategist with experience on two presidential campaigns. "When things are going well, they're going really well. And when they're not going well, they're nervous."

having some problems with the d110 i bought. several sample banks dont play any sounds! when in patch mode only about 1/4 of the banks seem to produce any sound? i think this might mean the battery needs replacing?
also... when i find a patch that does play notes, sometimes it will just stop playing notes for a random time and then start again. like pressing the keys is... note...note..silence...silence...silence...note...note...note...note...silence
also... the release on the notes is all screwed up. sometimes it will play the full release when i hold down the key, but most of the time it just cuts it short? using the pitch wheel either very high or very low will also cut the release off. also very annoying since i wanted this for long eerie morphing sounds. im not sure if its the midi controller keyboard (which is very cheap, old and probably on its way out)... or the midi connection... or a problem with the unit.
i think i need to replace the battery and try a better controller... or maybe my midi cable is c**p? but im worried there might be some kind of issue with the actual synth itself.

Introducing St Lucia
Lake Gunn, South Island © Jocelyn Kinghorn
St Lucia is indeed a Caribbean dream: a small, lush tropical gem of an island that is still relatively unknown and undeveloped, although it does offer a good variety of accommodation for tourists, including a few discreet resorts. St Lucia is one of the Windward isles of the Lesser Antilles, situated midway down the Eastern Caribbean chain between Martinique and St Vincent, just north of Barbados. It is tiny - only 27 miles (43km) long and 14 miles (23km) wide - and shaped a bit like an avocado.
The island has been left with a distinct French flavour, although its earliest colonists in the 17th century were British. The colonial history of the island, first settled by Arawak Indians around 200 AD, is a long saga of battles for control between the French and British. Britain eventually won the war in 1814, and granted independence under the Commonwealth to St Lucia in 1979.
The volcanic island's main landmarks are the Pitons, two soaring peaks on its southern coast that rise up from the sea and shelter a magnificently dense rain forest, where wild orchids grow and brilliantly-plumed tropical birds abound. The Creole people of the island are as warm as the tropical climate, and visitors are treated to plenty of smiles as they make the most of the island's natural beauty and secluded golden beaches, where coral reefs beckon snorkellers and scuba divers.

This post is from GRS staff writer Donna Freedman. Donna writes a personal finance column for MSN Money. She also writes about frugality, intentional living, and life in general at her own blog, Surviving And Thriving.
Everybody talks about the cost of lunches out. But what about breakfast? How much are those bagels or egg-and-cheese burritos costing you each week?
The first meal of the day can be challenging. Some people aren't hungry when they get up and thus need to take food with them for later. Or they spend the early-morning hours trying to get kids up, dressed, fed, lunchboxed and off to the bus stop or the child-care center. Or they sleep until the last possible second and fly out the door, and then hit the coffee cart in the lobby.
But have you checked the labels on those sweet rolls? (Hint: The only thing higher than the fat and calorie contents is the price of the pastry!)
It is possible to create breakfasts that are fast and easy yet not nutritionally bankrupt. After all, even McDonald's is offering oatmeal these days. More to the point: A homegrown (or at least home-assembled) breakfast is almost always going to be cheaper than one you pay someone else to fix for you.
Oatmeal can be tasty. Photo by Nate Steiner.
The many faces of oatmeal
To some people, breakfast = cereal. Full stop. For me, cereal = oatmeal, because it's easy, inexpensive and tasty. And it's here: For the past few years I've used coupon/rebate combos to get old-fashioned oats for as little as 2 to 4 cents per bowl; sometimes they were even free. Currently I've stockpiled nine 42-ounce boxes of horse's food, enough for the next nine months. (By which point it will have gone on sale again.)
Oats, water, a pinch of salt, five minutes in the microwave at 50% power and I'm eating breakfast. Sometimes I add blackberries that I pick for free each summer and freeze. You could stir in nuts, cranberries, raisins, wheat germ, flax seed or whatever floats your healthful boat.
You can make "overnight oatmeal†by preheating a wide-mouthed thermos with boiling water and then adding a serving's worth of oatmeal, salt and more boiling water. Close it up and go to bed. The next morning, breakfast is served.
A woman I know makes a week's worth of porridge at a time, parcels it into single-serving containers and heats up one up each morning. This oats-for-one deal could also be taken along to work if you have a microwave oven there. Either add sweetener/fruits and milk at home, or keep them in the workplace fridge.
Some folks keep cold cereal and milk at work. This works only if your boss doesn't mind snap-crackle-pop noises in the workplace – and if you don't have the kind of cubicle mates who'd pilfer your stash or take the prize out of your box of cornflakes. (Bastards!)
Whatever you do: Resist those single-serve cold cereals. They're outrageously priced. You can achieve the same effect by putting a cup of Cheerios in a lidded Tupperware container (or into a Tupperware alternative).
Whether you're buying hot cereal or cold, watch for those loss leader/coupon combos. These can make even instant oatmeal cheap enough to buy. Personally, I find the texture too runny. I like my oats to put up a fight.
Drinking your breakfast
I did not just give you permission for a 7 a.m. tipple. I'm referring to breakfast shakes or smoothies, i.e., mixtures of milk and/or juice and/or fruit and/or yogurt. Add wheat germ, protein powder, peanut butter or whatever else will hold you until noon.
Pressed for time? Right before bedtime put some yogurt, fruit (fresh or frozen) and whatever else you want into the blender canister, then pop it into the fridge. Next morning, add your liquid of choice (which could include soy or nut milk) and blend. Like your smoothies cold and thick? Fill an ice-cube tray with juice and store the healthful result in a plastic bag or container, to be added one or two at a time later.
"Instant breakfast†powders abound. They're easy. But making your own breakfast drinks is probably cheaper, especially if you buy fruit and juice at warehouse clubs, or make your own yogurt. (Or grow your own fruit.)
And speaking of fruit: Bananas should always be available at your house. They're the ultimate grab-and-go solution if you oversleep, and they add flavor and nutrition to cereal or smoothies.
J.D.'s wife sometimes makes these cinnamon muffins for breakfast.
Cookies for breakfast!
Likewise: I did not just give you permission to eat Oreos as soon as you get up. I am also aware there is a cereal with the word "cookie†in the title, but I refrain from comment.
No, I am referring to what's basically a palmful of nutrition disguised as a dessert. Myscha Theriault at Wise Bread published a recipe that features bananas, applesauce, oats, skim milk and dried fruit — but no flour and no eggs, for those avoiding such things for reasons dietary or humane. A Year of Slow Cooking offers a "baked oatmeal†recipe that you actually cut into squares, like brownies.
Healthy muffin recipes are out there, too. My sister makes a lovely apple/walnut variety with practically no sugar and just a hint of cheddar cheese. Make a double batch and you're set for weeks. Do this to avoid the commercially available muffins, most of which are both expensive and unhealthy.
But dang, they look good. Cinnamon rolls, doughnuts and bear claws are likewise a huge temptation but a bad idea. Most are crammed with fat and sugar, which means they'll make you feel like a happy and productive citizen — until your blood sugar crashes, leaving you twitching and cranky and filled with self-loathing. Also, you'll have Krispy-Kreme breath. Is that the kind of impression you want to leave with your 10 a.m. client?
(For the record: Chocolate-chip muffins are against God.)
Whole-grain toast or an English muffin with peanut butter or some other nut butter would stay with you longer. (But since PB breath is as bad as doughnut breath, make sure you brush your teeth before you leave the house.) A bagel with cream cheese or nut butter works for plenty of people, too.
Or how about making your own breakfast burritos? Recipes abound online. By fixing them at home you not only conserve money but also calories and fat content. Make enough burritos for a week (or a month) and freeze them. The same could be done with breakfast biscuits; put on eggs, meats (or "facon,†i.e., breakfast-meat substitutes), cheese or whatever you like.
And other fancy stuff
If you're a practical, organized sort of person, please come over and clean my apartment. After that, try one or more of the following techniques:
- Breakfast batch cooking. Make and freeze a ton of French toast, pancakes or waffles. Everyone in your workplace will be wildly jealous, especially if you're heating up French toast made with cinnamon bread. (Again: Check the bread outlet.)
- Fruit cup. Spend an hour on Sunday afternoon cutting up melon and pineapple and washing grapes. Apportion it into little cups, and keep a spoon at work. Just for fun, price the precut fruit at the grocery store and then congratulate yourself on your thrift.
- Yogurt parfait. The classy way: Layer yogurt, granola (look for easy recipes online) and fruit in a container. The lazy way: Pour some yogurt into one of your fruit cups, and sprinkle on some granola if you remember.
- Miniature omelets. These are basically a mixture of beaten eggs and/or cheese and/or meats and/or sautéed veggies baked in muffin cups.
- Frittatas or quiches. Like omelets, only you might find it easier to wash one casserole dish than to swab out a couple of dozen muffin-pan divots. Look for the simplest recipes and doctor them to fit your/your family's tastes.
Taste is the most important issue here, because "breakfast†can mean whatever you think it means. It could mean having half a dozen hard-boiled eggs and some string cheese ready to pack into your briefcase. It could be a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, or leftover pizza. I distinctly remember eating cold spaghetti on some long-ago mornings.
Now I eat oatmeal — but because I want to, not because I have to. You're a grownup, too, so you get to make your own decisions. May they mostly improve your health and spare your wallet.
Skip the chocolate-chip muffins, though. Seriously.

Notes From the Wilderness
Slate's summer camp issue.
Slate's "Summer Camp" anthology is available as an e-book for your Kindle. Download it now.
Summer camp has the capacity to inspire heated debate among those fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to have attended. Where some campers made friends for life, others never adapted to camp's privations, and Timothy Noah kicks off Slate's camp issue with a handy guide to the five types of camper—and to what your take on camp suggests about your life as an adult. If you didn't like your summer on Lake Weecheewachee, Noah writes, you might be a good candidate for a career in journalism.
Children in this country have been shipped off to sleep-away camp since the late 1800s, and in a slide show excerpted from her forthcoming book, Abigail A. Van Slyck explores the rustic origins of the American overnight camp. Since these early days, the face of camp has changed: Meghan O'Rourke explains that she spent more time in a classroom than on a lakefront during her summers at "nerd camp." And Seth Stevenson describes the near-magical powers that camp counselors have over their impressionable charges.
Elsewhere in the issue, Liesl Schillinger notes that it was the Girl Scouts who invented the quintessential camp (or at least campfire) food—s'mores—and then reveals for the first time her lifelong distaste for the gooey treat. And in a whirlwind survey of the best, and the worst, movies about summer camp, Daniel Engber argues that it's been all downhill since Little Darlings. Settle in with a s'more or two and enjoy the issue.

Music Beta by Google was one of the most important announcements at Google I/O, and we have all been waiting impatiently to get our taste of Google's new toy. The same morning that this long awaited service was unveiled, its official site went up, allowing everyone to request an invitation to be part of Google Music's beta testing. Well, it seems that the time has come, and many of those that requested invites, have been receiving them today (Not me… Yet).
Music beta may be Google's main attraction for now, being its new toy, but we tend to forget that it is still in beta. In fact, the service started having its first issues yesterday. Google Music showed its imperfections for a 3-4 hour period, when new invitees were unable to access the Google Music Manager (uploading tool). New users started reporting that the music manager would ask them to log in repeatedly, despite the fact that they already were. Also, Music Beta's site started displaying the following message: "Your computer or network may be sending automated queries.To protect our users, we can't process your request right now." We have to remember that we are signing up for a beta product, so we should expect some issues, but Google will be working hard to fix them. Aside from these issues, users seem to be very satisfied, and it is definitely exciting that Google is allowing us to check it out.
Though Amazon beat Google and Apple on releasing a cloud music player, all of us (Android enthusiasts) have been waiting for Google Music to show up. The Amazon Cloud Player is not bad at all, but it is a given that Google Music should simply work better, and be more integrated with the Android platform. The uploading process is very slow with Amazon, and it seems like Google has done a better job at this. Music Beta accomplishes this by giving you a piece of software that will upload your 20,000 songs to Google's servers more seamlessly, as opposed to Amazon, which requires you to do it through your web browser (at a very slow rate).
Have you guys gotten some love from Google yet? If you have received the invite, please let us know how Google Music is working for you! If not, sit tight and wait with me, hopefully we will get it soon. Also, check out Chris' introduction video about Music Beta for a good look at what Google has in store for us.

Food Handling and Preparation in a Child Care SettingSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
When evaluating a child care center, ask about how food is handled and what types of eating areas are provided.
- Are meals or snacks prepared on-site? If so, where? What types of food are provided?
- Are there any restrictions on what types of food children can bring?
Ask about the food preparation areas. Make sure the following standards are met:
- Counters and tabletops are clean.
- Appliances are in good repair.
- Cutting boards are nonporous (plastic, glass, or Formica; not wood).
- Ready-to-eat foods are prepared and kept separately from uncooked products, such as raw meat.
- Cabinets and refrigerators are clean and uncrowded.
- Either disposable dishes and utensils are used, or all nondisposable dishes are cleaned in a dishwasher with water heated above 160°F (71.1°C).
Ask the following questions about how food is stored, prepared, and served:
- Are all food containers labeled? Are children's individual meals (including breast milk) labeled with a name, date, and type of food?
- How are child care and food preparation duties separated? If the same person is responsible for both, are the guidelines for hand-washing after diapering strictly enforced?
- Are any raw foods prepared? If so, how? (Raw meats, raw eggs, or any products that contain raw eggs should not be served.)
- Are children taught not to share food, utensils, or plates? How are spills handled? Are all items that are dropped on the floor discarded?

Let's keep it hypothetical, if there is one around somewhere then let's say it's not up for sale.

At around 10:10 this morning, I was informed that someone was about to propose to his girlfriend on the High Line. I arrived on site about ten minutes later, just in time to watch one of the most absurdly romantic scenes I've seen outside of Casablanca.
Gene proposed to his girlfriend Abby in the Chelsea Market Passage, surrounded by umbrellas, and accompanied by a single musician tugging at cello strings and heartstrings in the background. Hugging and kissing ensued, and judging by the pictures, it looks like the question was answered in the affirmative. Congratulations to Gene and Abby on their engagement, and for going down in history as the first marriage proposal on the High Line!
Anyone attempting something similarly romantic (or anything at all, really) should do so with the musical accompaniment of cellist Aminda Asher, whose Web site can be found here.
More images after the break.

For 19 years B'nai B'rith Argentina has organized Kristallnacht commemoration ceremonies in cooperation with the Ecumenical Commission of the Archdiocese of Buenos Aires. This year the B'nai B'rith-sponsored, interreligious ceremony was held at the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral with Buenos Aires Archbishop Mario Poli presiding over the program.
Unfortunately, when Poli attempted to start the ceremony, a small group consisting of anti-Semites and followers of the radical Society of St. Pius X began to pray loudly, with some reportedly exclaiming that those who killed Jesus are staining the church. B'nai B'rith praises the Archbishop for his response, quickly dismissing the vile demonstrators who left shortly after their disruption began.
Speaking about the protesters, B'nai B'rith International President Allan J. Jacobs said: "This incident is a prime example of why we can never allow the passing of time to undermine the memory of what occurred during the Night of Broken Glass. Even though those who harbor hatred toward Jews are in the minority, we must remain vigilant against them."
B'nai B'rith Chile organized a ceremony that was attended by students of the Hebrew Institute of Santiago and other area schools, including two German-language schools. German Ambassador Daniel Kriener, Israeli Ambassador David Dadon, Executive Director of B'nai B'rith Chile Mario Sadovnik and Holocaust survivor Gunteer Seelman spoke at the event. The ambassadors of Austria, Italy, Greece, Belgium, and diplomatic representatives of the United States, Poland, Croatia and Russia attended the ceremony, as did a number of rabbis, leaders of community institutions, and Holocaust survivors.
B'nai B'rith Uruguay hosted Vice President Danilo Astori, former presidents, political leaders, congressmen and diplomats at a Kristallnacht ceremony that was broadcast live by seven television stations. The keynote speaker at the ceremony was Uruguayan historian Gerardo Caetano.
B'nai B'rith Paraguay hosted a ceremony with Argentinean writer and TV journalist Nelson Castro, who spoke before a large crowd that included representatives of the new government. Click here to read an interview with Castro in Paraguay's largest daily newspaper, ABC Color. Castro discusses the event and reflects on the Night of Broken Glass.
B'nai B'rith Panama and Costa Rica hosted programs featuring the same keynote speaker, former president of Uruguay Luis Lacalle. Panama hosted a number of guests, including members of the government, legislature and foreign diplomats. In Costa Rica Vice President Luis Lieberman and Israeli Ambassador Abraham Haddad attended the event, along with members of the legislature and other diplomats.
"These programs show the strong commitment in Latin America to remembering Kristallnacht, which marks the descent into genocide against the Jewish people," B'nai B'rith International Executive Vice President Daniel S. Mariaschin said. "Continuing this tradition of commemorating the Night of Broken Glass is the only way to ensure the events of those brutal days are not forgotten."

Retired mathematics professor Vernor Vinge describes one pathway toward the technological singularity: by using computers as external brain supplements that allow humans to approach superhuman intelligence.
Luke Muehlhauser, Executive Director of the Singularity Institute, takes on skeptics who argue that superhuman artificial intelligence will forever remain beyond the capabilities of technology. "If you make these kinds of predictions about what machines can't do, you're going to end up on the wrong side of history," he says.
Popular science writer Carl Zimmer confirms that viruses will always surprise us, for better or worse: the key is to find innovative uses in science and medicine for viruses instead of trying to eradicate them.
Peter Norvig, Director of Research at Google, demonstrates a computer system that has been programmed to organize collections of images from YouTube videos into sets of objects, without any direction from the programmers.
Noble Prize-winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman comments on the most important biases concerning the singularity. Kahneman sees the major bias as believing in seemingly inevitable scenarios.
Robert Hanson, Associate Professor of Economics at George Mason University, speculates on how systems of class might operate between artificially intelligent machines. Speed and efficiency would be most rewarded, in Hanson's view, while interaction skills with humans would be least valued.
Jaan Tallinn, creator of Skype and Kazaa, narrates a story that explores the notion of existing in multiple places simultaneously.
Melanie Mitchell, Professor of Computer Science at Portland State University, redefines "singularity" to mean "the appearance of a machine that crosses the barrier of meaning." Mitchell proposes to do this by teaching computers visual concepts that they can re-purpose as analogies.
Harvard psychologist Steven Pinker links the Humanitarian Revolution, an historical decline in violence, to widespread literacy. "It's plausible," he explains, "that as people consume fiction, drama, history, and journalism, they start to inhabit the minds of people unlike themselves, which conceivably could expand their empathy and decrease their taste for cruelty."
Julia Galef, president and co-founder of the Center for Applied Rationality, describes humanity as slave to its own genes: that is, people exist solely to perpetuate their DNA. Furthermore, she argues, we have to contend with the fact that "the genes don't care about us."
Author and futurist Ray Kurzweil examines the rise in health and wealth levels throughout the world since 1800, speculating that combining human intelligence with artificial intelligence will continue to perpetuate this trend.
Linda Avey, co-founder of 23andMe and Curious, reassures those with concerns about abuse of genetic information that it is not possible to make designer babies like in Gattaca, but there are ways to avoid some genetic diseases.
Stuart Armstrong of the Future of Humanity Institute places the quality of predictions about the emergence of artificial intelligence on a continuum with other fields, showing them to be the least accurate.
Thiel Fellow Laura Deming makes a plea for health research to tackle an epidemic that affects everyone: the negative effects of aging.
John Wilbanks, Fellow in Entrepreneurship at the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, uses what he learned from a copy of his genotype as a proxy for the possibilities of how people might be able to learn about themselves with usable electronic health records.
