After working in commercial and broadcast production for eight years, I came to the conclusion that academia was one of the last refuges of video production. It seemed to promise freedom from demanding business owners, insane deadlines, insurmountable workloads, and most of all, the constant pressure for profitability. I envisioned a utopia where scholarly work was conducted for the greater good.
With that frame of mind, I jumped at the offer to take a position at a large university several years ago. Since then, reality has tempered some of my loftier expectations, but some of my original views still hold true. While I no longer have the specter of profitability to worry about, new and different challenges have emerged.
I got into the production business at a very interesting time, when DV was just becoming viable. Small, compact non-linear editing systems were starting to ovdertake larger CMX editing bays. This gave me an understanding of the tremendous costs and space needed to run a production department before DV changed the requirements and needs of production. The generally insulated setting of academic and corporate production units began to feel the repercussions of this shift. What was once an elite club of videographers and editors opened up to anyone with a computer and a camcorder. Although most professionals enjoy the new toys and technology that modern DV has brought, they can no longer hold themselves above the crowd based purely on the superior equipment they use.
In academic settings—and beyond—this democratization of production and post-production has lead to what I affectionately call the "scholastic squeeze." The squeeze comes from several different directions. The first challenge comes from the low cost of production equipment. Clients don't understand why this new inexpensive gear doesn't result in a cheaper budget. Don't get me wrong—I'm not arguing that there is an indistinguishable difference between shooting in DVCPro and native DV. But try explaining the quality differences and broadcast-level standarrds to a professor or dean - it's about as much fun as a dental appointment. In practice, the quality of shooting, editing, and presentation in DV is good enough.
Second (my personal favorite), some clients are forgoing production services altogether, creating their own micro production departments instead. They buy a new PC and some editing software, and—poof!—they're a post house, right?
Third is the outsourcing of production. Certainly, there are other elements that also put on the squeeze, but I'll focus on the Big Three.
The first—and most complicated—challenge is price. For many in-house producers, price is not a factor, because the production stays internal. But even in these cases, internal operations will often want to see a budget. This allows them to evaluate the costs/benefits of production. Case in point: even at a large university, we bill internally for our production services. While no money changes hands, we do pull money from one account to another, which still forces departments to pay attention to budget constraints.
Whether they are internal or external clients, everyone wants it cheaper. What doesn't drop in price is the value of experience and knowledge that a talented editor/videographer brings to a project. This talent and experience needs to outweigh the benefits of choosing a less expensive production unit/company.
The bane of my existence—and the second of the "squeeze" challenges—is the self-made internal production/post-production unit. I have run across several departments that decided to create their own production department rather than continue to pay for production services. I don't know if they believe that production fairies will come and sprinkle magical dust on them or what, but great gear doesn't guarantee great productions. Ironically, most of these scenarios are destined for failure, and the seasoned producer becomes the heroic "problem solver." By displaying knowledge and expertise (a punch of two buttons to get them up and running again), clients will remember the value of your talent when they need video services again.
In larger academic and corporate settings, outsourcing is becoming a real threat. Some businesses outsource because of availability or cost and others simply because someone knows a friend of a friend who does video in his basement. It is becoming increasingly difficult to explain to a client the appreciable difference between shooting on a $40,000 camcorder and a $3,000 one—and that it takes knowledge and skill to operate both.
Make no mistake: the squeeze is on. Talent remains one of the few distinguishing factors that can alter the production equation. The same arguments that worked five years ago hold little significance today. Internal production departments are under siege from many different fronts. Their future and viability will rely heavily on their ability to adapt and change in this new DV world.

(Beacham's Guide to Literature for Young Adults)
The action in Tiger Eyes occurs in two states, New Jersey and New Mexico. It takes place before, during, and after fifteen-year-old Davey Wexler's first year of high school. The year is approximately 1980 (Davey's father, who graduated from high school in 1964, was thirty-four when he was shot and killed during a robbery of his 7-Eleven store). In the opening scene, the Wexlers are getting ready for the funeral and Davey is desperately trying to find a pair of shoes to wear.
Chapters 1 through 6 take place in Atlantic City, where the Wexlers live in an apartment above Mr. Wexler's store. After the school year begins, when it becomes apparent that the family is not adjusting well to their loss, they travel to Los Alamos to stay with Davey's aunt and uncle.
Despite being called the Atomic City, Los Alamos, also known as The Hill due to its altitude of 7,300 feet, is pictured as a very safe town, particularly compared with dangerous, crime-ridden Atlantic City. In Los Alamos, Davey lives in a large home and, after a few weeks when it is determined that they will stay for a while, attends Los Alamos High, "a very good school." Although Davey finds Los Alamos "flat and ordinary," it is strategically isolated and surrounded by spectacular scenery. This locale provides Davey with a beautiful canyon to explore, and it is in this canyon that she meets Wolf. Except for a trip into Santa Fe for Christmas shopping, the action in Los Alamos occurs...

Sylvester wrote:From Ajahn Thanissaro's notes on the Vinaya -
A bhikkhu who kills a "non-human being" — a yakkha, nāga, or peta — or a devatā (this last is in the Commentary) incurs a thullaccaya. According to the Commentary, when a spirit possesses a human being or an animal, it can be exorcised in either of two ways. The first is to command it to leave: This causes no injury to the spirit and results in no offense.
so I repeatedly and somewhat forcefully, said something along the lines of "If there are any demons/asuras/ghosts in my presence, or in my being, or in my mind, body, soul, or in my life at all, or in my family's presence, or in my house, I'm firmly telling you to leave right now... leave... leave...leave". I repeated this multiple times, because at first I was saying it with a mental intention as if I was mentally talking to them as well, but I then worried that if by doing this I was creating a mental connection with them, so I then repeated saying this without the sense that I was also mentally talking to them. I said this all in a very low voice, because the rest of my family was sleeping, and I didn't want to sound crazy. Anyways, I eventually stopped doing this, but I worried if I had been too harsh with the way I had said it, and that I could've possibly created bad blood. I worried that if there were demons/asuras or ghosts present, they would want to hurt me since I was harsh with them, or if there weren't any demons/asuras or ghosts present, then other demons/asuras or ghosts could've picked up with what I was doing and would want to hurt me. It's giving me a lot of anxiety, so I'd like definitely appreciate advice on how you think I should deal with this.
*Note: There was no sense of any demons present, this was just all anxiety.

Lance Armstrong Doesn't Appreciate Outside's Photoshop Skills
Lance Armstrong, True American Hero (and cleanest cyclist ever), is upset with Outside magazine for Photoshopping a slogan onto his t-shirt. So he did what you might expect—he took to the Twitter, writing "That's some lame bullshit. #weak."
When Armstrong posed for the July cover of Outside, he was wearing a plain blue t-shirt. Later, the magazine photoshopped "38 BFD" (that's 38 for his age, and Big Fucking Deal, FYI). After seeing this egregious insult, he tweeted this:
That truly is some weak ass bullshit, Lance. We know you would never wear a shirt as lame as that. And at least they could have made you look totally fucking ripped while they were Photoshopping, bro. WTF?

If selected, Brookville Equipment Corp. would score its first major order for modern streetcar equipment, though the company has touted its ability to provide such a product, dubbed the Liberty streetcar, for some time. Brookville's bid is one of three proposals submitted for the Dallas project, along with CAF USA and Czech Republic-based Inekon a.s. Eight streetcar manufacturers submitted initial Expressions of Interest.
Brookville, Pa.-based Brookville Equpment has long supplied rehabilitated heritage and heritage-style replica streetcars to numerous U.S. locales, including systems in New Orleans, Philadelphia, and San Francisco. But it has competed vigorously with other emerging streetcar suppliers, including Clackamas, Ore.-based United Streetcar and CAF USA, as well as larger players KinkiSharyo and Siemens Mobility, all of which have begun actively courting the potentially lucrative U.S. streetcar marketplace.
The DART oversight committee also is expcted to approve a design-build contract to a joint venture comprised of Stacy and Witbeck, Inc. and local Dallas concern CARCON Industries and Construction, worth roughly $28 million. Federal TIGER grant funding is expected to cover about $23 million of the project cost.
The 1.6-mile streetcar route, support for which was generated largely by Dallas' Oak Cliff neighborhood, would link Oak Cliff to Dallas Union Station, with four stops on the route.

Curtis Arledge, the vice-chairman of BNY Mellon and chief executive of BNY Mellon Investment Management, has said the most important economic message President Obama can send following his re-election is through his choice of a new Treasury Secretary.
The incumbent Tim Geither had said before Tuesday's election that he planned to step down. Now that Obama has won his second term, Financial News looks at four possible replacements for Geithner, and some outside bets.
• Frontrunners
-Erskine Bowles, co-chair of the Simpson-Bowles Commission
Bowles has Wall Street pedigree: he was a banker at Morgan Stanley before launching his own boutique Bowles Hollowell Connor, which was eventually sold. He moved into politics and served as chief of staff to President Bill Clinton between 1997 and 1998 and led the federal budget negotiations between the White House and Congress. This experience resulted in the Obama administration appointing him co-chair of the National Commission of Fiscal Responsibility and Reform, or the Simpson-Bowles Commission, which put forward a bipartisan plan to cut the federal budget, although this was never adopted.
John Mack, former chief executive of Morgan Stanley, told Bloomberg: "Erskine has plenty of experience, not only in government but in business. The next Treasury secretary has to have experience in the global economy." http://goo.gl/Pzd5f
-Larry Fink, chairman chief executive of BlackRock
Fink is the founder of BlackRock, which has become the world's largest fund manager. BlackRock advised the Federal Reserve on its purchase of toxic assets during the financial crisis and has also advised other governments during the sovereign debt crisis. Fink has never worked in politics, but this month The Financial Times reported that Geithner called or met with Fink at least 49 times in the 18-month period up to June this year. This made Fink the Treasury Secretary's most frequent contact in the financial markets.
-Jacob Lew, President Obama's chief of staff
A former chief operating officer of Citigroup Alternative Investments, Lew became President Obama's chief of staff at the beginning of this year. Lew, who is better known as 'Jack', also has intimate knowledge of the budget process, as prior to his current role he was director of the Office of Management and Budget and also director of the budget office under the Clinton administration between 1998 and 2001. Before joining the Obama administration in 2009, Lew was chief operating officer of Citi Global Wealth Management and then Citi Alternative Investments.
Roy C Smith, finance professor at NYU Stern School of Business and regular contributer to Financial News, said: "Lew is the strongest candidate if replacement is to be soon and he would drive fiscal cliff negotiations."
-Roger Altman, chairman of Evercore Partners
The founder of the advisory boutique has an inside knowledge of politics from his days as deputy Treasury secretary to the Clinton administration. Altman began his investment banking career at Lehman Brothers but had his first stint in politics in 1977 as assistant secretary of the US Treasury for four years. He then returned to Lehman before joining private equity firm The Blackstone Group as vice-chairman in 1987. In 1993 he went back to politics to work for President Clinton before founding Evercore in 1996.
-Robert B. Zoellick
The man has a seemingly endless CV: Harvard, seven years of government service, White House deputy chief of staff under Bush Snr, senior international adviser to Goldman Sachs, foreign policy adviser to George W. Bush, US trade representative, deputy secretary of state, and finally president of the World Bank. However, the major obstacle is the fact he is a Republican, and you would have to go all the way back to John F. Kennedy to find a Democratic president with the guts to appoint a Republican to the role. But given the looming battle between the GOP and the Democrats over the fiscal cliff, it might not be such a ridiculous idea.
• Worth a punt?
-Jamie Dimon, chairman and chief executive of JP Morgan Chase
Dimon used to known as the president's best banker friend and was touted as a potential Treasury Secretary for Obama's first term. However, he has been a vocal opponent of financial reform and what he sees as the president's unfair criticism of Wall Street. In 2010, Noam Scheiber analysed the relationship in The New Republic in a long piece piece titled The Breakup http://goo.gl/7VWth and the two look unlikely to make up any time soon.
-Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook
Sandberg may seem an unlikely choice but her resume includes a previous stint at the Treasury. She was an economist at the World Bank, a consultant at McKinsey and chief of staff for the Treasury Secretary before moving over to Silicon Valley, where she worked at Google before landing at the social network.

[edit]I've moved this post into its own thread, as it really is a separate topic.
This was split from http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/showthread.php?986682-weird-issue-PASSWORD-RESET! (so reading that thread may help)
i was working on this website, where teachers can publish students' marks...my plan is to let the teacher open the mysql table and update the column "marks" for each "username" of id "id"... and anytime the marks are updated, each student gets an email... is my logic right? and is there any other way i can go about this??
i know i've disturbed you for almost a week now, but this is kind of the last issues i am on, and then i ll be taking a very long break... my sincerest gratitude to you...:)
Do you have any table schemas (structures) you can share? This may be terminology issue, but do you really plan on letting the teachers open/update the MySQL table directly or do you plan to put a form in front of it?
As for the e-mailing part, that should be simply enough, just use mail()
[Inline] [ Edit ] [ Create PHP Code ]
1 id int(10) UNSIGNED No None AUTO_INCREMENT Change Drop Browse distinct values Primary Unique Index Spatial Fulltext More
2 username varchar(255) latin1_swedish_ci No None Change Drop Browse distinct values Primary Unique Index Spatial Fulltext More
3 email varchar(255) latin1_swedish_ci No None Change Drop Browse distinct values Primary Unique Index Spatial Fulltext More
4 security varchar(255) latin1_swedish_ci No None Change Drop Browse distinct values Primary Unique Index Spatial Fulltext More
5 marks int(255) No None Change Drop Browse distinct values Primary Unique Index Spatial
this is my table in phpmyadmin, and actually the ideal thing would have been to present teachers with a form to insert marks, but i m not sure on how to do that, so the raw plan i had was to make the teachers edit the mysql table...sounds pretty crude and primitive though...
2.and regarding the mail(), could you please explain more on how to use that function. for instance like send mail""" if ''' table is updated"''' to all members in the table....
Agreed, a form would be simple enough (if that interests you). You will simply query the table for all records, loop through them generating your form entries, one thing you need to be sure you do is treat them as an array of form items with names like "marks[<?php echo $row['id']; ?>]" so you know which id the marks applies to.
You can;t easily send an email from MySQL, there are options, but using a form for the updates would make it more seamless (in my opinion).
If you decide to go with a form for updating marks, I can help you through the entire process. If you want to the trigger approach as outlined in the link above, then you will need to develop a script that runs on a cronjob to send emails accordingly (I can help with that too).
Let me know which way you want to take this project.
thank you very much... i really needed someone to guide me through this...regarding the form, the issue i had in mind was if we made such a form, will it be accessible to students too?? because if that happens then students will be able to change their marks, right?
and about the email thingy, actually i was planning to do it through php, same way as my previous website (remember the portfolio and the password reset stuff)...so basically,i ll have a php controller, and a template.... much like reset.php (controller), and reset_form( template) from above... in fact i'm building this new website same way as the old, so i still have my old files config.php, login.php. logout.php, etc...just like the previous one... and in this new website, i m using the same reset method as the prev one from reset.php (remember??) to enable students to reset their passwords...
.............................. and right now i have three folders .... html (which contains 3 folders called css, imgand js respectively, and 6 files namely index.php, login.php, logout.php, pass.php (just like above) register.php and reset.php
2nd folder is "includes" which contains constants.php, functions.php and config.php
3rd folder called templates (contains header.php, footer.php login_form.php, pass_form.php, portfolio.php ((I AM GOING TO CHANGE THIS TO STH LIKE A PAGE WHERE STUDENTS WILL SEE THEIR MARKS AND OTHER STUDENT RESOURCES LIKE NOTICES, ANNOUNCEMENTS, ETC), register_form.php aand reset_form.php
Do you have a way to tell if the logged in user is a student or a teacher? If you do, you just simply have to validate they are a teacher, then show the page, otherwise, show an Access Denied message/page.
That would work, so long as your initial view is showing a form for the teacher to fill out, and after it processes the entry, it kicks off an email to the student. Thus making it so the teacher can update the marks within the page.
actually i have no idea on how to distinguish between students and teachers???could you please help me with that/?
Presumably, your db will differentiate between students and teachers. If so, you could add a login page which checks the db on submit. If the login is for a teacher, display the form, if not display a rejection.
one sec, so if this is my code for login.php how can i modify it to cater for teachers?? and the new database i create for teachers, called "teachers", do i keep the same columns as those for students, i mean identical to them?? like "id", username, security, email, hash??
// configuration
// if form was submitted
if ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")
// validate submission
if (empty($_POST["username"]))
apologize("You must provide your username.");
else if (empty($_POST["password"]))
apologize("You must provide your password.");
// query database for user
$rows = query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = ?", $_POST["username"]);
// if we found user, check password
if (count($rows) == 1)
// first (and only) row
$row = $rows[0];
// compare hash of user's input against hash that's in database
if (crypt($_POST["password"], $row["hash"]) == $row["hash"])
// remember that user's now logged in by storing user's ID in session
$_SESSION["id"] = $row["id"];
// redirect to portfolio
// else apologize
apologize("Invalid username and/or password.");
// else render form
render("login_form.php", ["title" => "Log In"]);
Before we get into that, can you provide the schema/structure for your users table?
sure, it's as above...
Okay, my recommendation would be to add a new column to that table that designates if the user is a student or a teacher.
okay, so what should the type of this new column be?? should it be varchar, or a boolean??
Okay, first thing to do when defining a new column is to consider what types of values you want it to hold. So right now you definitely know you need to know the difference between a Student username and a Teacher username, what about an Administrator or Principal? Would those designations be helpful later on?
If so, I'd make the column varchar(20) and store one of the following per record, 'Student', 'Teacher', 'Principal', 'Administrator'
for now, only teachers and students will suffice...
so is this fine, for the table users (for students) ?? and what about teachers' table?
You can use the same table for both. So I'd rename the student column to be "user_type".
Then when you insert a student, you will populate user_type with Student, and when you input a teacher, you will populate it with Teacher.
sounds good, so now there is an issue with registartion too i guess? because the user will have to specify whether he is a teacher or a student, right?
wouldnt it be better if we like just added some specific teachers to the table, so that only they can see the form when they register, instead of making it open for teachers to register? what do you suggest?
That is a valid point. So if you take that approach you will want to create a Teachers table, with a single column (until you want to store more data)
userid int not null
Do not make it auto-increment, it is going to store the id from the user table, so it knows which user to identify as a teacher.
do you mean a table with a single column like the below?


text: I got a pair of these shorts in white and wore them for the first time on Saturday. It was pretty warm and I was sweating quite a lot which meant my shorts got saturated...and went see through. I've got a few other pairs of white shorts that don't do this (like the NET plaid ones) and I think it's pretty short sighted of Nike to make shorts for a sport like tennis that don't stand up to a bit of sweating. The only way to wear these and maintain a bit of dignity is to wear underwear (unhygenic) or with a base layer (expensive, and not cool during summer). Has anyone else had this issue with the Showdown shorts?

McQueen grew up in London's East End, the youngest of six children of a father who was a taxicab driver and a mother who was a social studies teacher and genealogist. At age 16 McQueen left school and was employed at London's Anderson & Sheppard, where he tailored suits for Mikhail Gorbachev and Prince Charles. After working for another tailor and a theatrical costumer, he took work with the Japanese designer Koji Tatsuno in London and then with Romeo Gigli in Italy. McQueen returned to London and enrolled at the fashion college Central Saint Martins (1990–92). There he staged a fashion show for his master's thesis. The show caught the eye of Isabella Blow, a London stylist. Blow bought McQueen's entire first collection.
In 1992 McQueen debuted a pair of trousers that redefined the traditional cut of the garment. He called them "bumster" trousers—pants cut so low that they revealed the cleavage of the backside. This brought McQueen instant media recognition. In 1996 he was named British Designer of the Year, and later that year he took over as the head designer of Givenchy—the French couture house founded by Hubert de Givenchy in 1952—following Givenchy's retirement. McQueen was appointed by Bernard Arnault, chairman of Moet Moët Hennessy–Louis Vuitton, which had acquired the French fashion house in 1988.
Though it was a spectacular appointment for the designer, who was then just 28 years old, McQueen had already produced groundbreaking work under his own eponymous design label, which he maintained in London. McQueen, who had a flare flair for drama, dressed American singers Madonna, Courtney Love, and Tori Amos. British musicians David Bowie and the Rolling Stones' Mick Jagger wore McQueen's work onstage. Icelandic musician Björk appointed McQueen as art director for her 1997 video Alarm Call, and he designed the kimono that she wore on the cover of her 1997 album Homogenic. In 1999 McQueen opened his first boutique, where shopping was a truly modern fashion experience.
In 2000 McQueen sold a controlling interest of his signature brand to the multi-brand luxury-goods corporation Gucci Group, although he retained creative control. The following year he departed the house of Givenchy and began to diversify his brand to include fragrances (2003); a menswear collection (2004), for which the British Fashion Council named him British Menswear Designer of the Year; and McQ (2006), a more affordable ready-to-wear line. In 2010 McQueen committed suicide. An extensive retrospective of his work exhibited the following year at the Metropolitan Museum of Art broke attendance records for fashion exhibits and became one of the museum's most-visited shows.

You say you expected more rhetoric than reality from Senators Obama and McCain in their speeches about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Well, that's certainly what you got.
What I find nonetheless amazing is how they, and the pundits, have taken such little notice of the dramatic change in the political landscape occasioned by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's bombshell on July 7 his insistence on a "timetable" for withdrawal of U.S. troops before any accord is reached on their staying past the turn of the year.
Responding to a question at his press conference on Tuesday, President George W. Bush showed that he was vaguely aware that the timetable is, as Robert Dreyfuss says, a "big deal." Bush even alluded haltingly to the possibility of extending the UN mandate still further.
But it is far from clear that Maliki, who is under great domestic pressure, would be able to sell that to the various factions upon which he depends for support, or to those which he must keep at bay.
As Dreyfuss points out, Maliki and his Shiite allies are also under considerable pressure from Iran, which remains the chief ally of the ruling alliance of Shiites. Most important, Maliki is by no means in control of the process.
Here's where it gets sticky. No one who knows about third rails in U.S. politics would expect the candidates or the pundits to address how those now running Israel are likely to be looking at the implications of a large U.S. troop withdrawal from Iraq next year.
I am remembering how I was pilloried on June 16, 2005, immediately after Rep. John Conyers's rump-Judiciary Committee hearing in the bowels of the Capitol, for a candid answer to a question from one of his colleagues; i.e., if the invasion of Iraq was not about WMD, and not about non-existent ties between Iraq and al-Qaeda, then why did we attack?
In answer, I used the acronym OIL. O for oil; I for Israel; and L for Logistics, meaning the military bases necessary to protect both. Neither the House members present nor the media people seemed to have any problem with oil and military bases as factors.
However, the suggestion that one main motive was an attempt to make that part of the Middle East safer for Israel (yes, folks, the neocons really thought that attacking Iraq would do that) well, that was anathema.
As it is anathema today to suggest that this is still one of the main reasons, besides oil, why Elliott Abrams and other neocons not to mention Dick Cheney and his team insist we must stay, Maliki and his associates be damned.
Here in Washington, we can dissect and quibble over remarks by Maliki and other Iraqi leaders. The Israelis have to take such statements seriously. No agreement on U.S. forces staying into 2009 without a timetable for withdrawal? For Tel Aviv, this is getting very serious.
My guess is the Israeli leaders are apoplectic. The fiasco in Iraq clearly has made the region much more dangerous for Israel. There are actually real "terrorists" and "extremists" now in Iraq, and the prospect of U.S. troops leaving has got to be a cause of acute concern in Tel Aviv.
Keeping the US Entangled: Iran
This dramatic change or even just the specter of it greatly increases the incentive of the Israeli government to ensure the kind of U.S. involvement in the area that would have to endure for several years.
The Israelis need something to guarantee that Washington will stand by what Sen. Obama in his speech called "our ally" never mind that there is no mutual U.S.-Israel defense treaty. They are painfully aware that they have only six more months of Bush and Cheney.
The legislation drafted by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) being so zealously promoted in Congress calls for the equivalent of a blockade of Iran. That would be one way to entangle the United States; there are many others.
The point is that the growing danger that the Israelis perceive will probably prompt them to find a way to get the U.S. involved in hostilities with Iran. Cheney and Bush have pretty much given them that license, with the president pledging to defend "our ally" if Israel is attacked.
All Israel has to do is to arrange to be attacked. Not a problem.
There are endless possibilities among which Israel can choose to catalyze such a confrontation with or without a wink and a nod from Cheney and Abrams. The so-called "amber light" said to have been given to the Israelis is, I believe, already seen as quite sufficient; they are not likely to wait until it turns officially green.
So far, the resistance of the U.S. senior military has been the only real obstacle to the madness of hostilities with Iran. (And one need only read Scott Ritter's article on Truthdig this week to get a sense for why they would be chary.)
Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman, Adm. Mike Mullen, has been described as warning the Israelis that a "Third Front" in the Middle East would be a disaster. I think, rather, he is trying more to warn anyone who might listen in Washington.
Even if the pundits are correct in suggesting that Mullen is joined by Defense Secretary Robert Gates in trying to resist the neocons and Cheney, Mullen's tone at his press conference two weeks ago suggests he is fighting a rear-guard action against the "crazies" in the White House.
And when is the last time the crazies lost a battle with such implications for Israel?
Seatbelts On Please…
From Tel Aviv it appears an increasingly threatening situation, with more urgent need to "embed" (so to speak) the U.S. even more deeply in the region in a confrontation involving both countries with Iran.
A perfect storm is brewing:
— Petraeus ex Machina, with a record of doing Vice President Cheney's bidding, takes command of CENTCOM in September;
— Sen. McCain's numbers are likely to be in the toilet at that point (because of the economy as much as anything else);
— McCain will be seen by the White House as the only candidate with something to gain by a wider war (just as by another "terrorist incident");
— The Bush/Cheney months will be down to three;
— And Maliki will not be able to cave in to Washington on the timeline requirement he has set.
In sum, the Israelis are likely to be preparing a September/October surprise designed to keep the U.S. bogged down in Iraq and in the wider region by provoking hostilities with Iran.
The Israeli leaders may well plead for understanding and claim that with their night-goggles, they could not distinguish amber from green.
Would they hesitate? Please tell me who … just who is likely to turn on the siren, pull them over, and give them a ticket?

What Is a Renal Disease Diet?
A renal disease diet restricts your intake of:
- Sodium
- Protein
- Fluid
- Phosphorous
- Potassium
Why Do I Need to Follow a Renal Disease Diet?
If you have kidney disease, your kidneys are not filtering your blood as well as they should. This may cause certain nutrients to build up to unhealthy levels. You can ease the load on your kidneys by reducing your intake of these nutrients. This will reduce your risk of kidney-related problems. It may also delay the progression of your disease.
Food Choices on a Renal Disease Diet
On this diet, you will limit or avoid a range of foods. You will need to work with a dietitian who specializes in kidney disease. The dietitian can create a meal plan that is right for you.
Sodium is found in table salt and many other foods. Most canned and processed foods contain high amounts. When the kidneys are not fully functioning, extra sodium can result in:
- Fluid retention
- High blood pressure
To decrease your sodium intake:
- Avoid high-sodium foods and condiments.
- Do not add salt to foods while cooking or eating.
To add flavor to your food, use herbs and spices. Salt substitutes often contain potassium. You may also need to limit this mineral.
Potassium is found in many fruits and vegetables. It is essential for proper muscle functioning and heart rhythm. When you have kidney failure , potassium can build up in the blood. This causes problems with heart functioning. You will need to limit the amount of potassium you consume each day. Avoid high potassium foods. Examples include potatoes, tomatoes, citrus fruits, avocados, bananas, and dried fruit. You may still be able to eat your favorite high-potassium food if you limit yourself to a very small portion size. Your dietitian can help with this.
Phosphorous is another mineral that needs to be limited on this diet. If phosphorous builds up in the blood, it can draw calcium out of the bones. This causes your bones to weaken. Phosphorous is found in protein-rich foods. Examples include: dairy products, meat, legumes, nuts, and seeds. Whole grains and cola also contain phosphorous. You may still be able to consume these foods, but you will have to limit the amounts.
Also, your doctor may have you take a medication called a phosphate-binder. This soaks up extra phosphorous and then passes it out in your stool.
When you have renal disease, your kidneys cannot process the waste products from protein as well as they should. Your dietitian will give you a daily protein limit. The below charts list some common high protein choices and their serving sizes:
Many protein foods are also high in phosphorus and/or sodium. These foods should be limited or avoided. Your dietitian will tell you how many servings of these foods you can consume each day.
Depending on your stage of kidney disease, you may need to limit your fluid intake. Consuming too much fluid can result in fluid retention. This can lead to:
- Increased blood pressure
- Edema
What Can I Eat?
With these restrictions, it is hard to know what you can eat. It is essential that you work with a dietitian. She can determine which foods you can eat and the amounts. Here is a list of foods that you can still enjoy while on this diet:
- Limited amounts of high-protein foods
- Low-potassium vegetables
- Low-potassium fruits and fruit juices
- Refined breads, cereals (½ cup or 1 cup of low salt, dry cereal), and grains—like bagels, white bread, corn cereal, rice cereal, couscous, pasta (½ cup), white rice (½ cup)
- Grain snacks—like white crackers, graham crackers, unsalted popcorn, unsalted pretzels, unsalted tortilla chips
- Healthy fats—olive oil, canola oil, tub margarine
- Desserts—sugar cookies (4), shortbread cookies (4), vanilla wafers (4), sherbet
- Track your food intake in a food journal or download a food-tracking app on your phone.
- Read food labels for nutrient information and serving sizes.
- Choose whole foods over processed foods. Processed foods tend to be high in salt and low in nutritional value.
- Make sure you are eating enough calories. If you need to add calories, try adding healthy fats and simple carbohydrates. Examples include jam, maple syrup, and honey.
- Talk to your doctor before taking any supplements.
- Work with your dietitian. Be sure to go to all of your appointments.

Race is a social construct. It sounds like a pretty easy idea to wrap your head around, once you understand the meaning of what you're saying. It's the idea that the very concept of race itself isn't genetically determined and isn't quite as linear a relationship as simply contingent upon the colour of one's skin (although this no doubt plays a significant role in racism and related constructs). Race as a social construct is a sort of discourse we pick up on, both consciously and unconsciously, throughout the course of our lives. Sometimes it's literally hurled at us, and sometimes it's very quietly and gradually written into (or out of) our day-to-day experiences. Race isn't a Thing you can point at, reach out and take a sample of, and examine under a stereoscope. In my life, currently nothing is making this more clear than the public sphere of cyber activism in the Idle No More movement. The battlefields here are social media services like Twitter and YouTube, the comments section on online news articles, and blog posts. The battles being waged include re-education, de-bunking myths and stereotypes (watch for the Twitter hashtag #Ottawapiskat for a brilliant demonstration of de-bunking by inversion), and working towards inspiring others to start the work of decolonization from within. It can be and often is equally as exhausting as standing in the rain for four hours in the flesh, and it is an equally important tool in the greater repertoire of established tactics to counter racism, colonialism, and white supremacy.
And that's right about where any demarcations you may have previously believed exist very rapidly become ambiguous and murky. Race/ethnicity and (anti-)racism is complicated as all fuck.

Rays All-Star Mickey Mouse
It might end up as one of the better business decisions of MLB in the last few years as their 2010 statutes feature the most recognized cartoon mouse in the world. Mickey Mouse was unveiled on June 2, in 36 located throughout Southern California to celebrate the All-Star game.
These 36 specially decorated Mickey statues were commissioned in conjunction with Forever Collectibles are each designed with each of the MLB's 30 teams unique team logo characteristics and are 7.5 feet in height and weigh 989 pounds. What was even greater is the fact that MLB and Disney Consumer Products also launched a Scavenger Hunt on June 11th for So Cal MLB fans to be the first to find a Mickey Mouse statue and get photographic proof, then submit their photos .
The first person to take a photo in front of all 36 statues and tweet ( via Twitter) a link to their photo gallery would win the Grand Prize of two tickets to the All-Star game on July 13th.
So I decided to do a little Renegade search mission of my own and found the Tampa Bay Rays statue sitting nice and pretty among the foyer gallery region of the Laguna Art Museum in Laguna Beach, California. Interesting that the Rays version has a distinctive multi blue hued design with the radiant Rays logo, plus a special feature hidden within the right front ear flap of Mickey Mouse.
Within that section of Mickey was a rendition of our mascot, Raymond done up in all his cartoon glory. What is amazing about our Rays Mickey Mouse is that it is not roped off and in a heavily secured area, but is right in the plain sight with no revolving security forces.
Since I have mentioned the Red Sox statue, I might as well also give you the rest of the American League East locations for fans who might be heading to So Cal next week.
The New York Yankees Mickey is located at L.A. Live within the ESPN Zone restaurant lobby in Los Angeles.
The Toronto Blue Jays statue is located at the Orange County Performing Arts Center in Costa Mesa, California just within the main entrance.
And last, but not least, The Baltimore Orioles Mickey Mouse is located at the Newport Sports Museum in their main entrance.
If you need to know the location of any other All- Star Mickey Mouse,
just leave me a comment and I will post the statue's location for you as soon as possible. See you all in the funny papers.

SARASOTA — Tobias Baker isn't satisfied unless he's giving it his all every time he steps onto the mat.
The Sarasota High junior is proud to be a wrestler, but he knows that carries an additional weight.
Baker not only strives to be a role model for his teammates, but he also understands the importance of making sure he's physically and mentally prepared for each and every match.
This season, those two responsibilities have taken on a whole new meaning.
Prior to the start of the season, Baker and his teammate and friend, Austin Hobson, a senior, made the decision that Baker would move up a weight class, so that the two could wrestle together one final time.
Baker, who went 34-6 last season at 220 pounds, moved up to heavyweight at the start of the season.
Now, in his first season as a heavyweight wrestler, Baker, who has had to adjust to competing against wrestlers who have 40 to 50 pounds on him, is off to an impressive start so far this season with a perfect 9-0 record. He also has seven pins thus far.
Most recently, Nov. 30 and Dec. 1, Baker won the Cougar Invitational in Plant City, defeating the No. 1 and No. 2 seed wrestlers en route to becoming the first Sarasota High wrestler to win the tournament.
"It's always nice to know your faster than your opponents," Baker says. "I'm faster, but just as strong. That's definitely a big advantage for me."
Baker has spent the season training with first-year head coach Cezar Sharbono, which he says has helped him.
"He's taught me technique and always (pushes) me to do my best," Baker says. "That's been a big plus on my side. His skill level is definitely a lot higher than other skill levels, so I think that puts me over the bar."
Baker began wrestling when he was in eighth grade after his father died. At the time, his mother wanted her son to find an outlet, and Baker gravitated toward wrestling.
Baker's older brother picked up the sport and he eventually decided to follow suit.
"Out of all of the sports, wrestling is the hardest and it makes you the toughest," says Baker, who also plays football and is on the weightlifting team. "It's man versus man. It's kind of a challenge.
"It's male domination," Baker says. "There are no teammates out there with you, so you can't blame anyone else. There's no greater feeling than knowing you're better than someone else."
Baker went 12-1 in his first middle-school season. That summer, Baker moved to Sarasota and joined the Sailors wrestling team as a freshman. Since then, Baker has developed into one of the team's most dedicated and talented wrestlers.
Baker made the varsity squad as a sophomore, winning his first varsity tournament. During the summer, Baker competed in the Disney Duals in which he went 12-2 and was named an All-American and finished as the national runner-up.
He also got the opportunity to wrestle with several Penn State University wrestlers during a summer camp, which has allowed him to see what it's like to compete at the collegiate level.
"He has had the experience of seeing what college wrestling is all about," Sharbono says. "When you face those kinds of kids, it makes the fierce competition that much easier."
This season, Baker has his sights set on winning district and regional titles and advancing to the state tournament — a feat he fell short of last season.
"That's been a goal of mine since I started wrestling," Baker says. "I'm always working to push myself to the limits. To be a state champion, you need a lot of mental toughness. Making it isn't going to be easy at all."
In addition, Baker has aspirations of being one of the Sailors' team captains this year.
"I definitely want to be a captain," Baker says. "My dad was a captain when he played sports and he always told me to (strive) to be a captain. It feels great to know people look up to you and can trust you to be a role model."
Eventually, Baker would like to follow in his head coach's footsteps and wrestle in college before, one day, coming back to Sarasota to coach. Baker hopes to visit the Citadel this summer, which is the most southern Division I college with a wrestling program in the United States.
"I'm just mean and that's what they're looking for," Baker says. "It's definitely something I want to do."
"Toby is here for the right reasons," Sharbono says. "He knows what it takes to go forth to the next level. You can't just be a great wrestler. You have to be a well-rounded kid, which he is."

Replacing a legend
After serving as an assistant coach at Sarasota High last season, Bayshore High alum Cezar Sharbono was named the Sailors' new head wrestling coach earlier this year.
SARASOTA — Cezar Sharbono has big shoes to fill.
After former Sarasota High wrestling coach Ron Jones, who coached the Sailors for 29 years, accepted a new position at the Sarasota Military Academy, Sharbono assumed the reins.
"I'm replacing a legend," Sharbono says. "I'm just trying to do the right things. I love Coach (Ron) Jones. He's one of the greatest guys I've ever known, but I need do things my way not his way."
Sharbono wrestled at Bayshore High before moving on to the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, where he was a two-time NCAA qualifier during his junior and senior seasons.
Sharbono began his coaching career four years ago as an assistant at Southeast High, where he also taught history.
The following year, Sharbono switched over to Palmetto where he also served as an assistant coach. Last year, Sharbono assumed a part-time position at Manatee School for the Arts.
At that time, Sharbono began assisting Jones at Sarasota. Sharbono had trained with Jones while he wrestled at Bayshore. After Jones' position was eliminated at Sarasota and he switched over to SMA, Sharbono was approached about the head coaching vacancy.
Sharbono gladly accepted the position earlier this year, even though a history teaching position wasn't available. He was given the opportunity to teach ESE science, and after taking the necessary certification tests, he accepted the full-time position.
"This is what I've always wanted," Sharbono says. "This is year one of the post coach Jones era."

What experts have called Colony Collapse Disorder (CDC) has been confirmed in five states. Some keepers have lost about 80 percent of their bee colonies, according to www.discovery.com.
The bees marketed product - honey - is only the tip of the species' true impact on agriculture in the United States.
Busy bees are the catalyst for pollination for many of our national crops. With no bees to transfer necessary pollen, crops could struggle to carry on.
One research organization claims the U.S. honeybee population could be down as much as almost 50 percent. CBS news reported about one farmer who is so concerned that he has purchased the services of another man's bees to pollinate his crop.
Corn and wheat are known as wind-pollinated crops; however, crops like almonds, fruits and berries depend on bees to get the job done.
Researchers have many theories but no real answers to why worker bees are falling victim to this disorder and dying in high numbers.
A fungus, virus and/or pesticides, are among the leading list of possible causes, according to www.discovery.com.
Some of the myth causes buzzing around this mystery include the rapture and certain cell phone frequencies that disrupt the bee's sense of direction, according to www.cbs.com.
Theories are a dime a dozen right now. Hopefully, a cause can be determined soon and then a solution.
If not, the agriculture industry will yet again be grasping for answers of how to solve the latest adversity to spring up in their industry.

Notes: Vargas set for new beginning
Fifth starter eager to prove himself after offseason trade
By Jesse Sanchez / MLB.com
Vargas will get his first chance next weekend when he steps on the mound against the Cubs as the Brewers' fifth starter.
"I feel great physically and mentally, better than I have ever felt," Vargas said. "This is going to be a good year for me and this team. We know we can go really far in this division."
On Saturday, Vargas threw 46 pitches in four innings in a simulated game before the Brewers' exhibition game at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington. He went 2-1 with a 4.68 ERA in 25 innings during Spring Training, striking out 19 batters and walking five.
Jeff Suppan also threw three innings in a simulated game Saturday afternoon.
"[Vargas has] been great, very good for us," Brewers manager Ned Yost said. "He's throwing strikes and throwing the ball well. He's going to do a good job for us in the fifth spot."
Vargas was signed by the Florida Marlins as a teenager in 1995 out of the Dominican Republic and spent seven years in the organization before being traded to the Montreal Expos in 2002. He made his big-league debut in 2003. He was claimed by the Diamondbacks off waivers in 2005 and traded to the Brewers last winter.
Vargas went 12-10 with a 4.83 ERA in 30 starts for the Diamondbacks last season.
"I was really surprised when I got the call and they told me I was traded," Vargas said. "I didn't expect it because I was really happy in Arizona, but this is business and I understand that. I'm really happy here now."
Shouse in house: Left-handed reliever Brian Shouse is not sure if the Brewers will ask him to face right-handed hitters on a regular basis this season, but he wants to be ready just in case they do.
"I've been working on throwing my breaking ball to righties, down and in, and fastballs in to right-handers," Shouse said. "Facing lefties all the time sometimes you get in a routine. You don't lose how to get righties out, but you have to work on it. I'm focusing on that and doing what I'm supposed to do against lefties."
Last season, left-handed hitters hit .238 against Shouse. Right-handed hitters posted a .309 mark. For his career, left-handed hitters have a .218 batting average against him, while righties are hitting .315.

"He's mostly a left-handed specialist-type, but there are certain situations where you have to get a righty out, too," Yost said. "You have to be able to do both. He has confidence in his ability, and so do I, that he can do both."
Counting on Capellan: The regular season is one day away, but reliever Jose Capellan already has his eyes on the series, just not the one you might think.
Capellan can't wait for the 2008 Caribbean Series, held next February in the Dominican Republic city of Santiago.
"It's going to be one of the best ever," said Capellan, who plays for the Gigantes in the Dominican Republic during the winter. "Santiago is going to be wild. The fans there love baseball. It's like the second capital city."
Capellan regularly plays for his country's team during the Caribbean Series and said he will continue to do so as long as the Brewers allow him.
"I play to stay in shape. I show up in better condition because I play in the winter," he said. "Going home and playing for your country and your family, what's better than that?"
Quotable: "It could turn into one of those things where if we have the lead after six innings, the game is over. That's what it looks like on paper, anyway, so we are excited about that. We are happy and we'll see what happens when the games start." -- Shouse, on the Brewers bullpen

Breast Surgery
Michelle H.
From: NEW BEGINNINGS, Vol. 16 No. 4, May-June 1999, pp. 77-78
We provide articles from our publications from previous years for reference for our Leaders and members. Readers are cautioned to remember that research and medical information change over time.
Until recently, breast cancer was something I thought little about. I've been a nursing mother for four-and-a-half years. Studies have shown a reduced risk of premenopausal breast cancer in women who have breastfed. I knew it could still happen to me, but tended not to think about it. But when I felt a lump in my breast, fears of breast cancer were definitely on my mind. I remembered feeling this lump two months before, but had assumed it was a plugged milk duct, which I had experienced often. This time when I felt the lump, I decided to monitor it more closely. When it didn't change after a week of frequent nursing on that side, I knew a visit to my family doctor was needed.
The next day I saw my doctor, then had a mammogram and ultrasound. The ultrasound technician seemed perplexed until I told her I was nursing a baby. She had never performed an ultrasound on a lactating breast and the image was quite different. I went home that day to my husband, four-year-old daughter, and l7-month-old son, Peter. I had no answers, but at that point I knew I might need to have the lump removed.
As soon as I arrived home, I called my local LLL Leader and good friend, Cara. I had lots of questions about having surgery while nursing and Cara was a tremendous help. She made phone calls and looked up answers to my questions. The most important information she gave me was what to tell the doctor about the surgery to ensure I could nurse after surgery and in the future, which was important to me. I hadn't realized that a radial incision (one that was perpendicular to the nipple) would cut the fewest number of milk ducts because it would run in the same direction as the milk ducts. Most surgeons prefer to use an incision that goes around the breast because it leaves a less noticeable scar. Cara also informed me that my milk might leak through the incision, but milk contains antibodies so it should not cause infection. We suspected the doctor would recommend weaning on that side, at least temporarily.
With this information, I felt well prepared to discuss surgery with my doctor. The next week I had the lump removed under local anesthesia in the surgeon's office. He listened to my concerns related to nursing. However, he felt the lump was close to the surface of my breast and removing it would not harm milk ducts, so decided not to use the radial incision.
I was very apprehensive about nursing after surgery because the incision was just at the edge of my areola. The surgeon suggested I stop nursing on that side for one week, but I don' t think he realized that if I didn't nurse I would have more problems than I began with: engorgement, pain, possibly plugged milk ducts, or infection! So while waiting for the biopsy results, I again talked to Cara for more help. It was such a comfort to know Cara and LLL were there for me and my family with helpful answers and support that came from the experience of so many nursing mothers.
The same evening as the surgery, I decided I had to let Peter nurse and found that it was possible to have him latch on without harming the incision. Since the incision has healed well even though I continued to nurse, I feel there really was no reason to keep my son from nursing on that breast. Our new word for nursing now is "Uck" because that's what he said when he saw the incision and stitches! The day after the biopsy we received the good news that the lump, called a secretory adenoma, was benign. The doctor informed me this was a lump that formed near a milk (secretory) gland, and could probably form again in the future. This type of lump is not cancerous and would not be cancerous if it formed again. Since I live in an area where extended breastfeeding is not the norm, LLL has been a wonderful support for me for the past four-and-a-half years. LLL and my local Leader, Cara, have been a great blessing to me, especially during this trying time.

Hi all!
As promised, I am back with another Thanksgiving side dish post. I may be one of the few who like this one, but the green bean casserole has always been a favorite of mine. Even when I did eat meat and dairy, I always had a tendency to skip meat and go for the veggie dishes and the mashed potatoes. Go figure!
I decided to lighten and freshen up the classic recipe. Yep, that means no canned, processed mushroom cream or fried onion topping. I assure though, if you are one of the few who enjoys this side, you will love this one version! Oh, and for what's it worth, my sweet little mom said it is better than the old recipe 😉
Green Bean Casserole:
- 2 bags of green beans (most stores have them bagged now for the holidays)
- 1 yellow onion, sliced thinly
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped thyme
- About 15oz cups sliced crimini mushrooms (come in 6 oz crates, I used 2 1/2)
- 1 1/4 cup organic vegetable broth
- 1 cup vegan "sour cream"
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 tbsp flour
- salt & pepper
- Pre-heat oven to 400.
- In a large skillet (I used a cast iron that I baked the casserole in too) heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil on low heat. Add sliced onion and a pinch of salt and pepper. Coat onions then cover to caramelize, stir occasionally. Should be about 20 minutes
- In a large pot, fill 1/2 to 3/4 way full of water then bring to a boil. Add beans and cook for about 5-7 minutes. Drain and rinse. Put to side.
- In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs and thyme. Put aside
- Remove onions when done and place to side. Heat 2 tablespoons vegan "butter" in same skillet on medium heat. Add mushrooms and hefty pinch of salt and pepper. Coat evenly and cook until tender and juicy, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and place to side.
- Add "sour cream" and water to skillet (no need to clean it). Stir until combined. Add flour and stir slowly until no lumps remain. Add broth. combine. Add mushroom and half the onions.
- Let mixture heat up to a boil then turn heat off
- If using skillet to bake casserole in, pour green beans on top of mushroom mixture. Carefully mix, coating all the beans. Top with remaining onions, bread crumbs, and optional vegan Parmesan *
- If using a baking dish, pour mushroom mixture over green beans in large bowl. Mix and combine well. Pour into large baking dish. Top with remaining onions, bread crumbs, and optional vegan Parmesan *
- Bake for about 25 minutes, until crumbs are lightly browned. Cool slightly, serve and enjoy!!!
A quick vegan Parmesan substitute I make is to combine 1/2 cup chopped walnuts and 1/2 cup nutritional yeast with a dash of salt in a food processor. Pulse until walnuts are finely chopped. Sprinkle on before and after baking!

If Brian Kelly takes the Eagles job, maybe there will be an NFL team that Alabama could beat
— Brandon (@TeamSpeedKills) January 10, 2013
• Eagles to turn next to R. Kelly. There are folks getting awfully het up at Brian Kelly (subscription required) for his dalliances with the Philadelphia Eagles, who are just trying to live frugally after printing up all those WE <3 COACH KELLY cocktail napkins for Chip.
Elsewhere in coach-hirin' follies: Obvious international superspy Bob Toledo will rejoin Rocky Long as offensive coordinator at San Diego State ... Chuck Bresnahan will coordinate Willie Taggart's defense at South Florida ... Bill Young is out and Glenn Spencer is in as Oklahoma State's defensive coordinator ... Texas A&M swipes West Virginia's quarterbacks coach to serve as co-offensive coordinator in College Station ... and from Regular Virginia, Kevin Sumlin snags an assistant who'd been with the Cavaliers for just over a week.
• Roster blotter. Eddie Lacy, Dee Milliner and D.J. Fluker will all leave Alabama early to enter the NFL draft ... Clint Moseley has left Auburn football, though not Auburn ... also draft-bound, Clemson's Nuke Hopkins, Washington State's Marquess Wilson and Georgia's Kwame Geathers ... Joseph Randle to turn pro, per Joseph Randle ... LSU has, at last count, 11 early departures ... notable non-departures include Texas A&M's Jake Matthews and Texas' Mike Davis ... and spare some healing vibes for Notre Dame's Kapron Lewis-Moore, whose BCS title game injury has been confirmed as an ACL tear.
• Schedule matters. Hot off the communications office presses: 2013 regular season schedules for the Pac-12 and ACC.
• Alarming stat of the day.
Every starting Alabama RB since Saban arrived has turned pro early: Coffee, Ingram, Richardson, Lacy. Yeldon next.Misc. You have not seen the best one, until now. find Vincent Smith's helmet makin' friends @CapitalOneBowl and @FauxPelini: A Love Storify Call me Coach.

That said, however, I would avoid labeling his work as something political. It feels more personal or social, examining identity as it relates or responds to its fluid environment.

Restaurants In Puerto Rico
Owlmuse posted a topic in Gluten-Free RestaurantsI'm visiting Puerto Rico next month - my first big trip since being diagnosed celiac just over a year ago. I already am prepping a list of all the food I'll bring with me in my suitcase. However, I want to eat at restaurants. I love eating out and I'd love to figure out if I can do it safely in Puerto Rico without being limited to national chains. I know I can find Wendy's, Ruth's Chris, Outback but I'd love to have local food or even just not chains. Not chains always taste better! Besides I could eat at those chains at home. I don't but I could. So does anyone have experience in Puerto Rico? I know to be worried of cross contamination and even a language barrier (already printed spanish travel cards). Any great restaurants? Any that accommodates gluten-free really well or even (fingers crossed) a gluten free menu? Any experience or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
Going gluten-free Made Grave's Disease Worse?
Owlmuse replied to Owlmuse's topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchThanks Gemini! That was a really nice response. I dont know anyone who has had their thyroid nuked (except a friend of my mom's daughter but she had cancer and had her thyroid removed first!) so it was really nice to hear that real individuals were fine after. And you are right - spooky is totally the word for the treatment. I keep picturing myself glowing when the lights are off like on cartoons. I know that doesn't happen but it's still an image in my head.
Going gluten-free Made Grave's Disease Worse?
Owlmuse replied to Owlmuse's topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchI'm on Tapazole which is a thyroid and immune supressant. Been on it with very little dose deviation for 8 years. I expected to have to go down on my dose after going gluten free and each doctor I tell I am having thyroid problems assumes I'm too hypo from too much meds now. Not the case. I'm too hyper and just went up to the max dose of tapazole. I've had a large range of symptoms because of this culminating and really not functioning in my day to day life well. And yes a lot of people with Hyperthyroid do get their thyroid nuked right away. Because I was/am so young and was tolerating and was stable on tapozole before, my doctor continued me on the drug (it's actually the common practice in Europe, while nuking is the common practice here). Now since it seems my thyroid won't get controlled (I mean I just went on the max dose so I won't know for a while if it works) I'm getting pushed by my endocrinologist (whose opinion I do trust), my primary care dr (whose opinion I don't trust) and my mom (whose opinion I rely on too much). I wanted to post as a last ditch effort to see if anyone else has experienced this and what happened. (thanks to those who already posted!)
Do You Think Everyone Has Celiacs?
Owlmuse replied to 1974girl's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithI've done that a little but mostly with relatives because of the increased chance that they could have it. Unfortunately the two I think most likely to also have it are rather flakey and I don't think have done anything about it. On the other hand my immediate family got tested after I was diagnosed and my brother's doctor (a rather prominent guy) said he would bet money my bro didn't have it - he had no symptoms, or so he thought. And yep, you guessed it my brother was positive and had more extreme intestinal damage than me! It just shows that EVERYONE should be tested!!
Going gluten-free Made Grave's Disease Worse?
Owlmuse replied to Owlmuse's topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchSo my fear has been realized! My thyroid function as continued to get worse and I found out today that I'II have to have radioactive iodine and nuke my thyroid : ( Just wanted to post my question again and expand it a little. Has anyone one had an autoimmune disorder that after going gluten free changed? Got better? got worse? I keep asking doctors and no body, not endocrine doctors not celiac experts, seem to have an answer for me as to why this is happening now. I keep hoping my thyroid will go back to my normal. Heck I thought after going gluten free I'd be able to go down on my meds. (weirdly it seemed to help some of my other food allergies calm down. I'm eating apples for the first time in 10 years). Anyways please post any insights! I want to make sure I'm doing the right thing (this whole deal is stressful enough). Thanks!!
Werther's Original Hard Candy
Owlmuse replied to 2Boys4Me's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & MedicationsHas anyone settled this yet? There I was sucking my delicious werthers' hard candy only to see it has glucose syrup made from wheat in it! I was horrifid!! I've since done some research on glucose syrup but I'm still very confused! I've found that according to the werther's site, gluten free living magazine site and (in another post) the Australian New zelend equivalent of the FDA and celiac foundation that its fine. Yet I've seen numberpus posts by people who say they have problems. It seems to be a real issue abroad as glucose syrup in the states is made from corn. It just happens that werther's are from Germany. I'm a silent celiac and can't tell on my own what's causing a problem. Has anyone else figured this out? I mean scientifically, not just being scared of the idea or the word 'wheat'.
Ice Cream Parlors
Owlmuse replied to Owlmuse's topic in Gluten-Free RestaurantsThat's a really good idea bartfull! Not for everyday excursions but for staying at my grandmother's. Thanks!
Ice Cream Parlors
Owlmuse posted a topic in Gluten-Free RestaurantsIm visiting my grandma next week and she lives down the street from the best ice cream! So of course I started to really question how safe it is for us celiacs and thought I'd ask! What has others experience been with delicious frozen treats at ice cream parlors. I've been gluten-free for months but have no symptoms (I beleive) when glutened so it's hard for me to know (I was asymptomatic from the start). My mom has a severe nut allergy but if they just use a clean scoop she's good. Can I get hard ice cream (clearly with no gluten add ins) if they just use a clean scoop? Or do I have to ask for it to be from a fresh tub? Or is soft serve the best way to go? I've thought toppings like sprinkles (or jimmies if there is anyone else from New England out there!) are completely out of the question as ice cream is usually rolled in it. Has that been your experience? What have you guys found to be the easiest and safe way to enjoy ice cream?
Going gluten-free Made Grave's Disease Worse?
Owlmuse posted a topic in Celiac Disease - Related Disorders & ResearchHi! I'm been confirmed Celiac and gluten-free now for almost 7 months now. I also have had Grave's Disease (autoimmune hyERthyroid) for 8 years and have been on meds ever since. All of a sudden 3 months ago I started to feel just really rotten and 6 weeks ago found out my thyroid had become very over active again despite being on meds (the same dose I've had for years). I thought I was doing better but this week I went to the doctor again and my heart rate was still high which most likely indicates my thyroid is still high. I'm afraid they are going to want to nuke my thyroid if it doesn't resolve soon. Has anyone else had Grave's complications AFTER going gluten free? I'm trying to find out if this is something that will just act up a little and then return to (my) normal or is it just going to get worse until extreme action is taken. Thank you so much in advance for responding!!!
What Do You Bring For Yourself When Everyone Else Can Eat The Bafett?
Owlmuse replied to mommyto2kids's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes - Baking & Cooking TipsI usually bring some gluten-free turkey from the deli, some cheese and cracker and some snacks like fruit, applesauce, cookies, yogurt (if I brought an ice pack). It's not that far off from what I brought for lunch back in high school but it's tasty, dependable, easy, not fussy and in a pinch you can pick it up at the grocery store on the way. I went to the movies with friends a couple weeks ago and on the way found myself starving. I stopped at the local market that has all boars head deli so I know it's gluten-free got some turkey and cheddar grabbed a box of gluten-free crackers and I was all set. I won't lie, I ate it during the previews : ) Yay! Hope this helps and good luck!
Substitute For Almond Meal
Owlmuse posted a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes - Baking & Cooking TipsI just got a great baking cookbook from the library (the Blackbird Bakery Gluten Free) but there are several recipes, including muffins and brownies that include almond meal. I'm allergic to nuts but despite lots of Internet searching I haven't found a substitute. I was thinking maybe teff flour as it is a high protein flour. Anyone have suggestions?
Gluten Withdrawl Symptoms...
Owlmuse replied to SwtRandi's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)Wow thank you both do much for responding! It's really nice to get reassurance and understanding. My parents and brother try (most of the time) but they don't understand. As to squirmitch's questions. I'm a 24 year old female and was diagnosed in January. I have had my vitamins levels tested and was iron deficient so I'm taking a supplement for that as well as a multi vitamin. I have a thyroid condition, that's how I was diagnosed actually. Had it for years now and pushed my endocrine doc to do extra labs as I've been feeling so bad he says it's fine. I'm trying really really hard to stay gluten free. I haven't slipped on purpose and as far as I know haven't been glutened by accident but I'm silent so I may not know if I was. I do live with my family who does eat gluten. I'm really paranoid though and try really hard to keep everything clean and seperate but there is only so much I can do. The night before I went gluten-free I did my best to 'de-gluten' the kitchen i boxed anything made of wood cleaned out a cabinet just for gluten-free food, got rid of the wheat flour, put everything through the dishwasher and washed out the drawers and most of the cabinets. I also designated (some i bought new) hard to clean things like a collender, pizza cutter etc gluten-free so my parents and brother wont use it, unless cooking for me. I eat mainly things labeled gluten free or naturally gluten free. There are some products I've had that maybe werent labeled gluten-free but the ingredient list looked ok and or I googled it to double check. I have eaten out a bit but only to places that have a gluten-free menu, thankfully there are quite a few in my area. Stef-the-kicking-cuty - thank you for posting that it took you so long too! I was starting to get nervous because everyone seemed through the gluten withdrawl symptoms in days or weeks not months. I was becoming scared that it would be perminent. I guess I just had it bad. ALL my favorite foods had gluten in them so maybe I fed the addiction too much and it just takes longer than most?
Gluten Withdrawl Symptoms...
Owlmuse replied to SwtRandi's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)squirmingitch - has your symptoms finally subsided? I've been dealing with the same thing. I'm incredibly moody, extremely tired, insomnia, when I do sleep I'm still tired, my appetites all over the place, my brain is foggy and this week ive been so nauseas. I've been gluten free for 3.5 months now. And what really gets me is that I was silent. I didn't have symptoms, at least not extreme ones before I was diagnosed. And now I just feel so awful like all the time. I keep trying to keep my head up because I know eventually it has to stop but I really don't know how much more I can take. I'm litterally trying to keep myself from crying right now. I've tried asking my doctor and nutritionist but they're no help. They just say wait and see and they'll see me in a few months. I don't want to feel like this for a few more months. Sorry to rant on, I just needed someone to listen.
Oral Allergy Syndrome And Celiac
Owlmuse replied to Owlmuse's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)See this is what was making me curious about the relationship of OAS and Celiac (and now Graves). I mean it could be all a coincidence. I don't know.
Oral Allergy Syndrome And Celiac
Owlmuse replied to Owlmuse's topic in Celiac Disease - Post Diagnosis, Recovery/Treatment(s)That's really interesting, I have Grave's too! I know it has a correlation with celiac but with OAS too? I was diagnosed with OAS 10 years ago, Grave's 8 years ago and Celiac 2 weeks ago (although I was told I probably had it longer than I have had Graves). It's interesting you were diagnosed for the same three conditions in a very different order. I doubt that means anything I just find it interesting. It's nice to know someone out there is dealing with a similar situation

Hiya Gang!
I'm happy to say that after an 8-month break, I'm back to writing. I had an idea for a one-shot when I was writing Freeze and I've finally started it. Problem is, my one-shot has turned into a chapter story. While some folks write and submit one chapter at a time, I'm afraid I'm not that good. I have to have the whole thing written before I submit the first chap because I often have to go back and change things as the story progresses.
As of now, it's an H/G R/H romance but that could change. There are a lot of characters involved. My goal is to have chapter one submitted by February. So please keep an eye out. ;)
