Sour on Milk? 5 Healthy Dairy SubstitutesBy Jeanine Natale
So you've made the decision to go dairy free for health, diet, and/or allergy reasons. Maybe you're trying to avoid lactose. Maybe you just don't like the way the dairy industry tends to treat cows. But here's the rub: You love milk! So what are you going to do? Fear not, it's easy to avoid lactose and still get your fill of milk-like liquids. Soy, rice, coconut, almond, and even hemp "milks" have all found their way into the diets, hearts, and grocers' shelves of health-conscious people everywhere. Some, like coconut and rice milk, have been around for hundreds of years as dietary staples in many cultures around the world.
We're going to take a look at the five most widely available—and very diverse—milk substitutes, but before we start, let's quickly look at what you're leaving behind when you give up dairy. A 1-cup serving of regular skim milk has 90 calories, 125 milligrams of sodium, 8 grams of protein, 30 percent of your recommended daily allowance (RDA)* of calcium, 25 percent of your RDA of vitamin D, phosphorus, and riboflavin, and 16 percent of your RDA for vitamin B12. That same cup of skim milk also contains 12 grams of carbohydrates, 11 of which are sugar.
Now let's compare the rest. Keep in mind that these are all vegetarian/vegan-friendly, gluten-free alternatives.
- Soy Milk. Soy milk is probably the best-known milk alternative in the Western world. It's easy to find it in a variety of flavors and options at just about any market. So how does soy milk stack up nutritionally compared to skim milk? A typical 1-cup serving has about 100 calories—slightly more than skim milk—with 7 grams of protein, 29 milligrams of sodium, 25 percent of your RDA of thiamin, 9 percent of your RDA of riboflavin, 8 percent of your RDA of iron, 15 percent of your RDA of copper, 20 percent of your RDA of manganese, and just about 35 percent of your RDA of calcium.
Despite soy milk's popularity, there is some controversy surrounding it. The trend toward foods that are or contain GMOs (genetically modified organisms) is currently a cause for great concern, and more than 90 percent of all soybeans sold in the U.S. are GMOs, making it pretty difficult to find truly natural, organic soybeans or soybean milk products.
Also, unfermented soy products like soy milk naturally contain what are known as phytoestrogens—chemicals that when introduced to the human body tend to act like estrogen. There are many studies on this subject, but unfortunately most of them tend to contradict each other: Do phytoestrogens cause or prevent cancer? Are there negative side effects to ingesting too much of the stuff if you're male? Should infants be given soy products at all? The best way to deal with the soy debate and its consequences, aside from doing a bunch of research yourself, is simply to remember the age-old adage, "All things in moderation." If you aren't going to be consuming gallons of soy milk per day, you should be just fine.
Bottom Line: You might want to explore other choices before settling for this somewhat controversial and overprocessed milk alternative.
- Rice milk. If you've ever had the popular Mexican drink horchata, you've had rice milk. The popular commercial brands are enriched with calcium and other nutrients found in dairy milk, but they also (like commercial soy milk) have a variety of additives, sweeteners, and flavorings, many of which can't be considered either organic or natural.
So how does rice milk add up nutritionally? A 1-cup serving has approximately 80 to 90 calories, but they come mostly from sugar, which you probably already get plenty of, and which you're probably trying to avoid if you're trying to consume a healthy diet. If you're a rice milk or horchata fan, great—you can mix it with all kinds of things to make it a fun, refreshing treat. But realistically speaking, rice milk doesn't have much else going for it.
Bottom Line: Although it's relatively popular, I wouldn't settle on rice milk as a truly complete and healthy alternative to regular milk, unless I was mixing it with Shakeology®. Store-bought brands will be more nutritious, but will contain a lot of sugar.
- Coconut milk. Thai food, anyone? How about a piña colada? If you're a fan of either, chances are, you've had plenty of coconut milk in your lifetime. Now, don't mistake coconut milk for the watery liquid found in the center of the coconut, which is known as coconut water (the stuff you hear sloshing around inside when you shake one). Rather, we're talking about the rich, creamy stuff that's extracted from the white coconut flesh nutmeat itself. Want to do it yourself at home? You're looking at some pretty intensive labor.
Until recently, a cup of coconut milk contained at least 500 calories, most of which was saturated fat, but now low-calorie coconut milk has begun finding its way onto grocers' shelves. A typical 1-cup serving has about 150 calories, most of which is still saturated fat. It has 3 grams of protein, 45 milligrams of sodium, 50 percent of the RDA of vitamin B12, 30 percent of the RDA of vitamin D, and 10 percent of the RDA of calcium and magnesium. If you're a vegan looking to get more vitamin D in your diet, this stuff might help, but keep in mind that you won't be getting any protein from it and you'll be getting a lot of fat.
Bottom Line: Regular coconut milk has traditionally been intended to be used in small amounts, mainly for cooking, not as a milk substitute for drinking a glass at a time. Although it's delicious and has lots of healthful benefits, it's way too rich to have as a drink by itself. And while light coconut milks may not pack the same caloric punch, they're still essentially just fat.
- Almond milk. This is one I can live with. Nutritionally, a 1-cup serving will have anywhere from 50 to 80 calories, depending on how much water has been added. Although it has minimal protein, it does have 25 percent of the RDA of vitamin D, 50 percent of the RDA of vitamin E, and 150 milligrams of potassium, along with some manganese, selenium, and many other trace elements.
There are a wide variety of fortified store-bought brands that all taste pretty darn good—sweetened, unflavored, or otherwise. Along with the more mainstream commercial brands, it's also easy to find almond milk products that are raw and organic.
Bottom Line: Almond milk is a personal favorite and quite versatile too, although keep in mind it's still low in protein. On a side note, it's fun to make from scratch. A 1-pound bag of raw almonds can get a little pricey at around $12.00, but the investment is worth it. Make your own—it's delicious!
- Hemp milk. Places like Trader Joe's® or Whole Foods Market® are your best bet for hemp milk. There are a couple of different brands, again, all fortified and sweetened to taste more like regular milk. And no, it doesn't get you high. Interestingly though, the U.S. is pretty much the only country in the world that doesn't allow hempseed cultivation, even though there's no drug content in it. All hempseed in the U.S. is from Canada; it's guaranteed to be organic and pesticide-free.
Hemp milk could be a real find. Hempseeds are pretty much considered a superfood, meaning that even in very small amounts, like an ounce or two, they pack a wallop nutritionally. A 1-cup serving of hemp milk has approximately 110 calories and has 24 percent of the RDA of iron, 72 percent of the RDA of magnesium and phosphorus, 35 percent of the RDA of zinc, plus 11 grams of omega-6 fatty acids, 4.5 grams of omega-3 fatty acids, and 16 grams of protein. Wow.
Bottom Line: A milk alternative that's naturally packed with nutrients. Definitely worth checking out.
If or when you decide to go with one or more of these alternatives to milk, also know that you can use them in most recipes just like regular milk. There are literally hundreds of recipes available free online, and dozens of well-informed cookbooks on the market. So experiment a little, and find out which milk substitute works best for you.

5 Fun Summer Beach and Water Sports for FitnessBy Andrew Rice
Summer's just around the corner. Soon it'll be time to take advantage of the long days and warm temperatures to break out of your winter workout habits and take it to the lake, river, or sandy beach of your choice. Summer is, after all, about having fun and enjoying time with your family and friends. But there's no reason that has to mean spending all day in a lawn chair eating barbecued pork and drinking Bud Light®. Why not cut loose and try one of these outdoor activities? They're all excellent workouts, and great fun to share with other people. Just keep in mind that whenever you're planning on spending time in both sun and water, a good waterproof sunblock is a must.
Water World
Whether you have access to an ocean, a lake, or a pool, water exercise is easy on your joints and bones while still excellent for muscle tone and aerobic conditioning. Water offers a whole different kind of resistance to a body that's accustomed to moving on land. While impact is pretty much nonexistent with water exercise, every move takes a lot more energy, and consequently burns a lot more calories. Even at a leisurely pace, you use twice as many calories swimming as you do walking.
- Swimming. Swimming is fun and a great workout. At ocean or lake beaches with swim buoys, try swimming out to the buoy line, then following it parallel to the beach. Alternate your pace, switching from fast to slow every other buoy. After you've swum far enough, swim back in and jog back up the beach to your towel. It's also really fun to pick a challenging distance swim and do it with a group of friends. When I was a kid, we used to swim from my grandparents' pier to an island about a quarter of a mile away. All of us, from Grandma to little kids, would take our time swimming across, then rest on the island before swimming back. You can do this at an ocean beach by swimming out to a distant buoy, around a pier, or any other point that's a workable distance away. For safety, I recommend having a friend paddle along with you on a kayak or paddleboard, both to be there if anyone poops out, and also to make your presence more obvious to boat traffic.
- Bodysurfing. I do a lot of ocean sports, including surfing, but bodysurfing brings me closer to my amphibious ideal than any other activity. Bodysurfing is also great because it's got a low learning curve but never ceases to be fun. There's always some new or challenging variation to enjoy. Choose a stretch of beach with waves that break cleanly, and without any big rocks or other hazards. You'll want a good pair of bodysurfing fins (most snorkeling fins are too big and tend to come off) to give you the acceleration and power to get into the waves. If you've never done it before, here are the basics:
- Swim out to the peak—the area where the waves stand up and break.
- Tread water to get a good view of what's coming and choose a wave that's about to break, not one that already has.
- As it begins to roll under you, put your head down, kick like crazy and do a few crawl strokes with your arms. You'll feel your body begin to accelerate until suddenly you're flying through the water.
- At this point, you can use your palms as a planing surface and get your head up to see where you're going. The wave will either poop out or spit you out.
- Repeat until you've had enough fun.
- Backyard water polo. Next time you're at a pool party, organize a casual game of backyard water polo between friends. If you don't have an actual water polo ball, and most of us don't, a kids' rubber foursquare ball is the next best thing, or a slightly deflated volleyball. Set up goals at both ends of the pool, using patio chairs or a couple of empty coolers tipped sideways. The rules of real water polo are overly complicated, but for our purposes just think soccer in the water. You're not allowed to stand on the bottom, and once you pick up the ball with a hand you have to either pass or shoot. Between treading water and sprinting up and down the pool, your muscles and aerobic capacity will get worked much harder than just swimming a few laps. Play to 20 and switch ends when the first team gets to 10.
Sandy Land
Let's go back to the beach and look at another unfamiliar environment that offers a great workout opportunity: deep, soft sand. Whether you run, walk, or play soccer, doing any athletic activity in deep sand enormously increases your level of exertion. If you normally run 4 miles on hard ground, 2 miles of soft sand will have you panting. At my local beach in California, I work out by doing an alternating interval jog/sprint at each lifeguard tower. On this beach, they're spaced about every 200 yards. Each soft sand sprint gets my heart rate and breathing way up. The next 200-yard easy segment cools me off a bit, and my heart rate slows back down. My usual course is about a 2-mile round trip.
- Beach volleyball. Professional beach volleyball players all seem to be ripped, tan, and about 7 feet tall. Now I can't help you with the tall part, but play beach volleyball regularly and the ripped and tan part comes with the territory. The key here is constant dynamic motion, which builds balance and core strength, combined with vertical jumps and leaps that give your legs and glutes explosive strength. If you don't have a net handy, just volley with a friend for 15 or 20 minutes, trying to keep the ball in the air as long as possible while constantly increasing the distance between the two of you. When the ball falls, step closer together and start over again.
- Dune running. About 40 minutes from my house is a gorgeous sand dune that rises at least 250 feet in a steep incline behind the beach. Every time we're near it, my 5-year-old daughter insists we stop and do a little dune running. She sprints straight up the thing and waits for me at the top. Then she turns around and goes first, running down the dune at warp speed, taking giant leaping steps. It feels like flying, or like what running on the moon would feel like if you could wear surf trunks on the moon and survive. With the muscle and aerobic workout going up and the sheer joy of bounding down, there's just nothing better. We've also been known to somersault the whole way down, but for a few days afterward, you'd better be prepared to find sand in places you never imagined it would go. Oh, and you'll feel like you just rode the Scrambler® 10 times back to back. My daughter usually does about five circuits up and down. I'm only good for maybe three. What can I say? She's a lot tougher than me. Want to see how you stack up? There are dunes all over the world's coastlines and deserts—what are you waiting for?

Introduction to the MD-75 Integrated Amplifier
If you attend any of the myriad audio shows around the world these days, you will notice that in the high-end exhibits, they are likely to be using a turntable as the source, and tube preamplifiers/power amplifiers to drive the speakers. Ten years ago, one might have said that tubes and vinyl are raising their heads again. Now, they are here to stay and are routinely offered as an alternative to the digital world of music.
Ming Da is company based in China that exports tube preamplifiers, power amplifiers, and integrated amplifiers in various price ranges, including some very high end models. They sell direct, through Pacific Valve, rather than through dealers, so you really get a good bang for the buck. This review, my first of a Pacific Valve product, is on the MD-75, which is a stereo integrated amplifier. It has a detached power supply for low noise and interference, a remote for adjusting the motorized volume control, and you can switch between triode mode (40 watts/channel output) and ultra-linear mode (75 watts/channel output). You can "tube roll" if you wish, and the review unit came with optional Genelex 12AT7's for the input stage, Black Treasure CV-181 driver tubes, and Black Treasure KT88 output tubes.
One very nice feature of this product is that, when you turn it on, the volume control rotates to the lowest volume setting, so you don't accidentally start playing music at a volume that might startle you.
Specifications of the MD-75 Integrated Amplifier
- Design: Stereo Tube Integrated Amplifier
- Power Output: 40 Watts/channel in Triode Mode, 75 Watts/channel in Ultra-Linear Mode
- Tube Complement: Two EH 12AT7 Dual Triodes, Two EH 6SN7 Dual Triodes, Eight EH 6CA7 Output Tubes

- Pacific Valve
- SECRETS Tags: Amplifiers, Integrated Amplifiers, Tubes
The Design of the MD-75 Integrated Amplifier
The MD-75 has a four gain-stage circuit. The 12AT7's are dual triodes, operating in Pure Class A (most preamplifiers operate this way), with two gain stages. They produce a single-ended voltage gain signal, which then passes through the driver tubes that are phase inverters with some gain, then on to the output stage where the output tubes produce current gain. Since there is an even number of gain stages, the output is in phase (not inverted). The MD-75 would be classified as operating in Push-Pull, Class AB.
The standard version of the MD-75 comes with two 6SN7 drivers and with eight 6CA7 output tubes. However, there are several options: you can purchase the MD-75 with Tung Sol 6SN7's or Black Treasure CV-181's instead of the standard EH 6SN7's for the drivers , and you can also get Tung Sol 12AT7's (input stage), Tung Sol 6550's, Tung Sol KT88's, Genelex KT88's, or Black Treasure KT88's (output stage). Each has its own sonic characteristics and is one of the things that "tube rollers" do. The sockets are the same, and the only thing that needs to be changed is the bias voltage on the grid of the output tubes.
When I unpacked the contents of the shipping box, this is what was inside:
The tubes were all in individual boxes, with the KT88's marked as to which socket they should be inserted into (the factory sets the bias for each KT88 and its corresponding socket). There is a plastic cover with ventilation holes to use if you have small children, but otherwise, I think you will prefer it, as I do, with the cover off.
The power supply (solid state) is housed separately, and is connected to the rear panel of the MD-75 with two thick cables:
Below, is a photo of the rear panel, with the 4 ohm and 8 ohm speaker binding posts, and the power supply jacks. There is also a pair of pre-in RCA jacks should you just want to bypass the preamplifier and just use the power amplifier.
There are four pairs of RCA input jacks on the side, for Aux, CD, Tape, and Tuner. So, even the labels for the inputs are "Retro" (do you still have a cassette tape deck?) More likely, you would use them for your CD player, media player, and perhaps the output from a phono preamplifier.
The inside of the chassis has one very small circuit board, but the majority of the circuit is hand wired point-to-point. Notice how meticulous the wires are laid out. They all run parallel or perpendicular . . . and exactly so.
Once the tubes are inserted, and the power supply is connected to the main unit, you plug the power supply into the wall. This is important, as you should not plug the power supply into the wall and then plug the power cables into the main unit.
OK, so it's all together, plugged in, you take a deep breath, and flip the power on/off toggle to the on position. If you have done everything correctly, the amplifier will look like this (you can see the four sets of RCA input jacks on the right rear):
The tube filaments will all glow orange-red. A blue LED will glow on the front to tell you all is well. On the left is the volume control, which is motorized, and which rotates fully counter clockwise when you turn the amplifier on. To the right of the volume control is a toggle to select Triode Mode or Ultra-Linear Mode, then the LED, a toggle to select Power Amp or Integrated, and finally, the Input Selector knob.
The MD-75 comes with the bias voltage for the output tubes adjusted. Nevertheless, I checked and adjusted the bias using a meter and a probe that is inserted into the middle of the RCA jack that is situated near each output tube (the positive probe goes into the RCA jack, and the negative probe is attached to the chassis as the ground connection). Using a small screwdriver, I turned the slotted dial next to the RCA jack until I was within the recommended range. You will need a long, thin screwdriver with a small tip for this. I bought one at Home Depot. You probably already have a volt-meter, but if not, an inexpensive one will do just fine.
A close-up photo of the RCA jacks and bias adjustment screws is shown below. In the second photo, I am using the small screwdriver to adjust the bias voltage.
The MD-75 Integrated Amplifier In Use
I listened to the MD-75 using an OPPO BDP-95 universal player and Magnepan MG 1.7 planar speakers. Cables were Wireworld Platinum Eclipse 6 interconnects and Wireworld Eclipse 6 speaker cables.
Recorders (a musical instrument that sounds like a pan flute) are wonderfully musical, with an uplifting sound that could probably never be used to play the "blues". Tubes add to that musicality, and I thoroughly enjoyed the sound through the MD-75. I ended up preferring ultra-linear mode with its increased power and dynamic range. The presence of the comparatively large (compared to solid state) amounts of second and third ordered harmonics simply add to the pleasure.
Strings are great instruments with tube amplifiers because the harmonics add richness that can be lost when the recording microphones are not close to all of the stringed instruments being played, which is generally the case. It does not replace lost sound, but puts back in some of the pleasure that would be experienced if you were in the audience at the symphony hall. That is exactly what I felt when I listened to this SACD of a stringed quartet.
I also listened to numerous other albums, and with just 75 watts, it is not for rattling the windows with Stravinsky. This is an amplifier to sit back and enjoy easy listening types of music. And, it does a great job of it. Warn and soothing would be a totally encompassing description of the sound quality.
The MD-75 Integrated Amplifier On the Bench
All distortion measurements were within an 80 kHz bandwidth. Both channels were driven, with an 8 ohm load. I did not run tests at the 4 ohm tap since this simply limits the voltage, and I did not run tests on the power amplifier by itself (there is a set of RCA pre-in jacks to use just the power amplifier section).
Each distortion graph will begin with the MD-75 in triode Mode, followed by the same measurement with the amplifier in ultra-linear mode.
At 5 volts and a 1 kHz sine wave, distortion was less than 0.1% in triode mode.
In ultra-linear mode, distortion dropped to less than 0.05%. In both cases, the second order harmonic was predominant. Also, in ultra-linear mode, the difference between the height of the second order harmonic and third was greater.
In triode mode, 1 kHz and 15 volts output, distortion was less than 0.5%, which is a reasonable number for a tube amplifier.
In ultra-linear mode, the 15 volt distortion measurement was not significantly different than it was in triode mode.
In triode mode, maximum output before clipping was 40 watts, but in ultra-linear mode, it was 75 watts. So, I am only showing the 20 volt (50 watts into 8 ohms) measurement in ultra-linear mode. The result was less than 0.5% THD+N, a good number.
Looking at the spectrum when using 19 kHz and 20 kHz sine waves as the test signal is always interesting. Here is the graph with 5 volts output in triode mode. The B-A (20 kHz minus 19 kHz) peak at 1 kHz was 38 dB below the fundamentals. Notice also the IM peaks surrounding the fundamental peaks.
In ultra-linear mode, the B-A peak was 55 dB below the fundamental (the lower the peak, the better). So here, we see an advantage in the ultra-linear mode. Also, there are 8 IM peaks on either side of the fundamental peaks in triode mode, but 7 peaks in ultra-linear mode. These are very small details, but can add up to discernible differences in the sound.
At 20 volts (50 watts), ultra-linear mode, the spectrum is filled with IM peaks. This is a point when the midrange would begin to start sounding congested. However, most of the time, when listening to music, we are only using a few watts.
Using 60 Hz and 7 kHz as test signals, there was less than 0.4% IMD in triode mode at 5 volts output.
In ultra-linear mode, IMD dropped to less than 0.2%, which is excellent.
At 15 volts output, IMD was 3.4% in triode mode, which would result in some congestion in the midrange sound.
However, in ultra-linear mode, MID was 1.28%, which is much more reasonable. (I know what you solid state guys are thinking, but you have to put on a different hat when dealing with tube amps).
Even at 20 volts, the IMD in ultra-linear mode was less than it was in triode mode at 15 volts.
The frequency response in triode mode was down almost 2 dB at 20 kHz. This produces a very smooth sound that tube-o-philes love.
In ultra-linear mode, the response was the same, down 2 dB at 20 kHz.
THD+N vs. Frequency for triode mode is shown below. It's reasonably flat from 20 Hz up to 10 kHz, then rises up to 30 kHz before declining.
In general, ultra-linear mode showed less distortion in the audible band for the various output voltages tested.
Power output in triode mode indicated a sharp knee at 35 watts, and clipping (1% THD+N) at 40 watts.
The sharp knee in ultra-linear mode was at 70 watts, and clipping at 75 watts, exactly on spec.
Conclusions About the MD-75 Integrated Amplifier
If you are a solid state user who is in the mood to go "Retro", you are a bit late, as tubes re-emerged a while ago, and they are everywhere. But, seeing as how you are in the mood, regardless of the timing, the Ming Da MD-75 represents a very good value, and an excellent way to get into the world of tube sound. You don't have to worry about matching a preamplifier to the power amplifier, because the MD-75 is integrated. It is solidly built, has motorized remote control of the volume, sounds like tubes should sound, and you will have a terrific conversation piece to show your friends.

EDIT: Actually, the situation has reversed - I was just able to send an email through SquirrelMail to my Gmail account. However, the opposite doesn't seem to be working right now. How to troubleshoot this issue? EDIT 2: Sorry about the spam, everything is ok now.

Hefty First Place Prize Awarded to Lucky & Louie Larson as Pair Endured and Thrived in Grueling Competition
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - Aug. 26, 2013 - The father-daughter team of Andrew "Lucky" Larson and Andrea "Louie" Larson were named winners of the inaugural season of the NBC adventure reality-competition series "Get Out Alive with Bear Grylls."
For coming in first place, the Larsons received a grand prize of $500,000.
In Monday's season finale, the Larsons defeated the two remaining teams - Austin and James Vach as well as Chris Winter and Jeffrey Powell - in a final challenge that took place in a wet rainforest amidst torrential downpour that pushed each team to their limits.
Lucky, 58, is a carpenter who specializes in recycling old buildings and used materials. As the rugged outdoorsman, Lucky always assumed he'd have sons and treated his daughters as if they were boys. He resides in Stillman Valley, Ill., with his wife of 30 years who suffers from MS.
Louie, 24, grew up on a goat dairy farm where she spent much of her time outside with her father, a stay-at-home dad who taught her how to hunt, trap, fish, skin an animal and care for the environment. With her upbringing and natural love of feminine things, Louie feels lucky to have grown up to be capable and tough, yet maintaining a girly edge. Louie lives with her husband in Chicago, working as a volleyball coach.
The competition began with 10 teams, all trying to avoid weekly elimination and survive the unforgiving and dramatic landscape of New Zealand's South Island.
"Get Out Alive with Bear Grylls" has averaged a 1.5 rating 4 share and 4.1 million viewers overall, according to "most current" data from Nielsen Media Research through the most recently completed week, making it the #1 new unscripted series of the summer on ABC, CBS, NBC or Fox. The Aug. 19 telecast moved into the time-period lead, ranking #1 among ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in adults 18-49.
"Get Out Alive with Bear Grylls" is co-produced by Bear Grylls Ventures and Ben Silverman's multimedia studio, Electus. Grylls, Silverman, Chris Grant, Laura Caraccioli and Doug McCallie serve as executive producers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20 (UPI) -- U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio said he felt "good" about Senate immigration-reform talks and "appreciated" talking with President Barack Obama about the needed reform.
The Florida Republican "appreciated receiving President Obama's phone call to discuss immigration reform late tonight in Jerusalem," Rubio said in a statement Tuesday issued by a spokesman.
Rubio, a Senate Foreign Relations Committee member and a possible 2016 GOP presidential hopeful, is touring Israel and Jordan.
"The senator told the president that he feels good about the ongoing negotiations in the Senate, and is hopeful the final product is something that can pass the Senate with strong bipartisan support," Rubio spokesman Alex Conant said.
The remarks came several hours after Obama phoned Rubio and fellow Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and John McCain of Arizona -- three of the four GOP members of a Senate bipartisan group of eight seeking to create a legislative compromise on overhauling the nation's immigration system.
In the phone calls, Obama discussed with the senators "their shared commitment to bipartisan, common-sense immigration reform," the White House said.
Obama also commended the senators "for the bipartisan progress that continues to be made by the Gang of 8 on this important issue," the White House said.
The fourth Republican member of the group, Sen. Jeff Flake of Arizona, was in Cuba with a seven-member bipartisan congressional delegation. The White House said Obama hoped to talk to him soon.
"During the calls, which build on conversations that have taken place at the staff level, the president reiterated that he remains supportive of the effort under way in Congress, and that he hopes that they can produce a bill as soon as possible that reflects shared core principles on reform," the White House said in a statement.
GOP lawmakers have complained Obama had not reached across the aisle on the bipartisan Senate group but met with Democrats last week.
"As the president made clear when he met with Democratic senators involved in the process last week, that while he is pleased with the progress and supportive of the effort to date, he is prepared to submit his own legislation if Congress fails to act," the White House statement said.
A leaked White House draft immigration plan -- which includes an eight-year pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants and makes no mention of border-security triggers most Republicans favor -- prompted angry Republican comments over the weekend.
Rubio Saturday called the plan "half-baked and seriously flawed" and said it "would be dead on arrival in Congress" if it were ever proposed.
The White House insisted over the weekend, and again Monday and Tuesday, the leak to USA Today late Saturday was not intentional.
A White House official told The Wall Street Journal Sunday administration officials reached out to Democratic and Republican Senate offices Saturday night to make that clear.
The White House earlier circulated the draft to federal agencies for comment, which meant numerous government officials had seen it, the Journal said.

ARREGHINI, Louis. Plurinational States in crisis: The challenges of the political in the construction and control of the State in Bolivia. Rev. humanid. cienc. soc. (St. Cruz Sierra) [online]. 2008, vol.4Selected edition, pp. 41-73. ISSN 1819-0545.
The concept of nation is confusing due both to its polysemy and symbolic dimensions, which range from individual identities to collective beliefs. This paper discusses the relationships between State and Nation in Bolivia. It first outlines concepts regarding a model of nation-States based on the European experience. This model, and the ideology that comes with it, helps to understand the mishaps of the collective constructions known as nation-States. The analysis of State mottos around the World reveals a lot about prevailing ideologies. But this model is entering into a crisis, as the French debate about its collective identity shows. Those who want to manipulate the concepts to their political needs, manage to wake up the demons of nationalism and racism. In a global World where the death of the nation-State is regularly announced, the looks are increasingly aiming at Bolivia's politic experience. The achievement of a new social pact in Bolivia could be an example for Humanity

From: Jan-Erik Larka
Date: 2008/08/02
source: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eComStati ... MzNzA2Mw--
There have been shemes for downloading around for years. Here's one of the latest: PMDownloader: http://www.eros2.info
Can someone explain what it is for? I've tried a few external downloaders but not one even comes close to being as good as the download built into Firefox. Ten years ago, I used one (AWGET) and it was sort-of useful on dialup because downloads would take hours and the browser wasn't particularly stable.
Jan-Erik Larka
PMDownloader and AWGet should basically do the same thing. I use AWGet by GlassMan as it's very handy to fetch files, is very stable and fetch things as fast as the connection allow, but one has to configure the parameters somewhat to tune it a bit. New homepage structures, blogs and protected sites (cookies and/or passwords or just cross site linking) make it less useful now though.
It would be nice if the community could focus on solving things once and for all and not compete with different themes of the same thing. ->
"Develop the wheel once"
=====And now for something else, almost at least======
Am a long time bittorrent user (several years) on OS/2 and eComStation but have thought about this for a long time...
eros2 also ported one of the available versions of ctorrent.
I'd like to see ONE unified download manager for the whole OS, that one can write plugins for.
Output info about parts downloaded so that GUI apps can show Б√┬Б√┬Б√┬ Б√┬Б√┬ Б√┬ Б√└ Б√┬ etc. Create a folder class for WPS that will show files beeing downloaded, hopefully a combination similar to http://www.xn--lrka-loa.com/progressbar ... sbars.html and
http://www.xn--lrka-loa.com/Progress.html DOS users get horrified when they see what may come from the proposed ideas, as function is the primary objective, not necessary usefulness and how easy it should be to get a fast overview of the situation.
The idea with the download folder is to create a common download manager to attach e.g. a ctorrent plugin as the bittorrent engine, "wget" or "cURL" for http and ftp, "mms" for multimedia streams etc. and the whole system could use that. We'll have to write new plugins as new download techniques emerge, but not whole apps, and have one common way to deal with downloads. We can write rexx scripts to fetch the files using the download manager, software developers won't have to write/port their own versions of download engines etc. but rather use
what others wrote once thus save several man hours in projects that do almost the same. The wps class should be available as a template that
one can tear off, set common download params for and then drag links (unless one set override info on each link/file etc.) and downloadfiles to and it'll take care of the rest.
We'd get a neat, compact, unified, native way to show files if it where a wps folder. I often start and keep more than 10 bittorrents at once,
another as http download but want all the info in one view, preferably as progressbars, but sometimes want more detailed info. Research in the area mention that it's harder and take longer to get an overview with numerical presentation of data than a progressbar, but is less
accurate, provided that accuracy is what the user want. How about the power that the wps offer, not for eye candy, "just because we can" as
in some OSes, but because wps-folders provide the OS/2-eCS way of doing things? It won't hurt if it's useful and reveal ways to be productive.
How about rewriting it somewhat and create a .dll that also would be callable by rexx?! Hey why not ask "all" developers to add rexx calls
to their dll's (within reasonable limits of course)?! The rexx part should be quite easy actually and would make it really useful to many, not to mention how well software for OS would integrate with the rexx scripts.
What do you think?!
Cliff Scott:
I can heartily recommend PMDownloader. It works very well, had adjustable download speeds and lots of options including capturing the clipboard if you desire as well as a plugin. It has a free trial period I believe. I've used it for at least 3 years and it is the best I've seen. It's so much better than the one in FireFox that there's no comparison. The only limitation I have found is that it can't figure out the download system for the eCS BetaZone. I suspect that the author doesn't know about that limitation as he probably would fix it if several of us requested it. I know he has added features that I've requested.

The 5 Best Moments From Wrestlemania 28
WrestleMania XXVIII had it all this year — drama, intrigue, emotion and some truly great matches making for unbelievably awesome moments. Here the 5 best.
The Hall of Fame inductees take the stage
It's always a bittersweet moment when the Hall of Fame inductees take the stage at WrestleMania, this year was no different as legends such as the Four Horsemen, Ron Simmons and 'The Rated R Superstar' Edge all appeared on stage as the class of 2012. It was an especially surreal moment for Edge who just last year competed in his last WrestleMania.
The set and pyrotechnic display
Let no one say that the WWE doesn't go all out for WrestleMania, from the stage to the pyro's shooting from the roof of Sun Life stadium. An especially cool moment was during CM Punk's entrance as fireworks shot off from a field behind the stadium. The stage was everything you would expect, palm trees and a lot of money. Also Metallica's 'The Memory Remains' playing as the Hell in a Cell structure lowered was a nice touch.
Jericho vs Punk
With such a personal feud it seemed only fitting that these two would have a grueling match filled with plenty of daring moves, taunts and big counters. Early on Punk flew off the top rope at Chris Jericho who was outside the ring. Before the match a stipulation was added that if CM Punk were to be disqualified he would lose his title, that didn't come into play, however, as Punk forced Jericho to tap out to his anaconda vice submission maneuver.
The Rock vs Cena
With this being hyped all year as the biggest match of all-time, there was no doubt in anyone's mind that it would go on last. Luckily for everyone, the hype was worth it as the match itself was fantastic, featuring plenty of drama and reversals; it was everything we hoped it would be. The Rock looked to be in tremendous shape for having wrestled one tag match in the past few years. It came down to Cena attempting the 'peoples elbow' only to have Rock counter with a rock bottom for the win.
The Undertaker goes 20-0
The streak lives! Once again, The Undertaker was victorious at WrestleMania. It's almost a shame this match didn't go last as it was absolutely phenomenal. For over half an hour The Undertaker, Triple H and special guest referee Shawn Michaels told one hell of a story inside the ring. It was brutal, emotional and as fitting an end to an era as we could have hoped for.

A judge has ruled that the man who attempted to assassinate President Ronald Reagan in 1981 will get to spend more time outside the mental hospital where he has been confined for most of the past three decades.
John Hinckley will be allowed to visit his mother's home in Williamsburg, Va., for up to 17 days at a time.
Hinckley has been allowed to spend increasing amounts of time at his mother's house in recent years, but previous visits were capped at 10 days.
In court hearings before the judge's ruling, Hinckley's lawyer had asked for Hinckley's visits to be expanded to 17 and 24 days, arguing that there is no evidence Hinckley is a danger. Attorneys for the U.S. government, however, argued that granting expanded privileges was "premature and ill conceived."

A Truth Journal: Colbert, Daily Show Videos: Naughty Government, Funny NSA Leaker Jokes: From Denny: When NSA Leaker Edward Snowden poked the hornets' nest of the intelligence community (IC), the military, private contractors, the government and the Justice Department they geared up into a defensive posture like never before this week.
Their collective backlash was the usual heavy-handedness of the 800 pound gorilla, heaped upon one individual they figure is an easy win, which only made the government look worse to the casual observer, especially the enthusiastic voting demographic under the age of 30.
Clearly, the government agencies are laying out the case to the court of public opinion, hoping to turn the public against Snowden so they have an excuse to either give him the death penalty or send out another wave of assassins. It's a shameful attitude and excessive behavior.

Prison Elders Speak to Incarcerated Youth
Hi, I'm a program officer at Kalliopeia Foundation. We fund a variety of different nonprofit programs, including a handful of programs in prisons. Since I also happen to be a huge fan of the show (thank God for J Dilla on NPR!!), I wanted to alert you to some amazing audio stories told by lifers in San Quentin for young people in juvenile hall or probation. These men have gone through truly transformative programs that teach violence prevention, meditation, yoga, and prepare men to meet victims of the same crimes they've committed. The lifers are amazing men, I've had the privilege to meet a few of them and what can I say, they have devoted their sentences to figuring out what it really means to be human and wrestle with one's actions. Some of the most inspiring men I've ever met.
Anyway check out the stories, they are produced by two nonprofits that work together, Mind-body Awareness and Insight Out. Even though they are meant for youth in trouble, the stories (not to mention the production values) seem like a great fit for Snap. Check it out, and if you want more info or anything I'm at 415-578-8908. Some of these lifers are out now, and would make great interviewees.
Thank you for considering

A few issues posted on here look similar, but I haven't found something identical.
About 10% of the time, the machine does not resume from sleep. Upon opening the lid, the LED night-light, caps-lock light, power light, mic light, and mute light cycle through one flash every seven seconds or so. No messages appear on the screen. Pressing the power button does nothing. After a forced shutdown (longpress power button), then pressing the power button once, I'm given the message about windows not shutting down properly with the choice of starting in safe mode.
I'm not sure of the cause... I've updated everything I can think of, but the issue persists (on an irregular basis). Is the battery too loose in the slot? Would a jiggling of the batterery during sleep cause an improper shutdown?

I've decided this occurs more frequently when I move the laptop during sleep than when it sits at my desk. I suspect the loose battery is the issue, but who knows... Awfully frustrating, though.
The flashing of the power, capslock, LED, mic, and mute buttons continues.

I called Lenovo support to file a service request. The technichian had me update all the Lenovo software. This did not solve the problem, so I sent the computer in to be repaired. The repair was completed quickly: They sent me a box which arrived on Wednesday, I had the machine in the mail on Thursday, and the computer was back to me on Monday. Note, though, a shipping label (from me to the repair facility) was not included with the initial empty box, and it took three phone calls with the support line to get them to email me a label.
I've had the computer back now for more than a weeek, and I've traveled with it extensively. The issue described above appears to be fixed. The repair facility "replaced the motherboard." I have only had one new technichal issue since then: the battery indicator light blinked orange, and the battery would not charge; but this issue did not persist after a restart. If it returns, I will have to contact the repair facility again... but all-in-all, so far I am satisfied with the repair.
Edit: The returned computer had the same issue within weeks. See subsequent posts. Sending in the computer for repair was not a solution.
I spoke too soon. The issue persists, with the same critical error recorded in the event viewer.
This is the first time in three weeks, so perhaps that's a decrease in the frequency of crashes; I'll need some more time... but regardless, I don't think a new computer should be crashing randomly at all. I'll have to wait and see how often this continues to occur. I'd say my current thought is to try a spin with a different brand. I'm not very motivated to send this back for another "repair," as it's inconvenient to be without a laptop, and there seems to be little incentive to send it in if it is returned in the same malfunctioning condition.
Yep, this continues at the same frequency after the repair as before the repair. It will not resume from sleep about 50% of the time when I move the laptop while it is suspended--LEDs flash regularly, but I can't get any response, and it requires a hard reboot without proper shutdown. I updated the BIOS last week, but that didn't change the frequency of crashes.
Any other suggestions? If someone had any software-based or simple hardware-based idea, I might be willing to try it. The Lenovo warranty hasn't been of any use. Maybe I'll think about contructing something to make the battery sit more firmly in its slot. If it's some other hardware issue, I'm less likely to try to fix it myself.
Here's the error again:

Hi, I have the same problem. It happened the first time yesterday, three times in a row. It's happened once so far today.
Every time it has happened after carrying the laptop around, traveling to and from uni. (But it hasn't happened every time I carried the laptop around.) The weather here has become quite cold, I thought it might be something to do with that, but probably you are right and it is something to do with the battery moving.
It usually happened with LEDs flashing in the way you described, only just now they were only flashing once, then battery light on the lid and power button illumination stayed on, nothing else.
A friend of mine has experienced the same, also mentioning moving the laptop while in sleep mode, also carrying it through the cold.
What confuses me though is that it seems to be losing power only when you wake up the laptop, the sleep led is on alright before that. And actually I just checked and the battery is barely moving when fastening both latches, which I usually do.
I have no idea what to do, seeing as replacing the motherboard hasn't helped you at all.
Oh, and by the way, I'm using Linux, so it seems not to be a software problem.
Hm, seems like this problem is not very common, or other people don't carry their X220 around or something.
Anyway, just a quick update. I'm still trying to figure what exactly causes this problem. Yesterday, after doing the commute after which my X220 has crashed every single time for three days in a row now, I plugged in the AC adapter before opening the lid. As before, the sleep led was on as it should be, the battery led now indicated that it was charging and it still could not resume from sleep. I don't know how or when this supposed loss of power connection is taking place.
I'll probably call Lenovo next week and try and explain the situation to them. But your experience, seriolavora, is not giving me a lot of hope for an easy fix.

Mtt1- Thanks for responding. Your sympotoms sound to be exactly those I have... I haven't realized a temperature dependence, but I'll pay more attention.
And yes, this seems to occur either with or without the ac adapter plugged in. I've resorted to switching the settings so that the computer goes to "hibernate" upon closing the lid, which works, I guess, but means I need to wait for the computer to boot up everytime I want to work.... kind of defeating the purpose of having an ultraportable labtop with ssd.
BIOS version: 1.26, which I updated January 9th.
Please keep me posted if you figure anything out. I wish Lenovo would give us a hint on what's up, but I felt my experience with support was a waste of time. If you give it a shot and have a different experience, please post. I like the computer otherwise, but this issue is pretty frustrating. It's like playing Russian roulette every time I move my laptop.

LONDON — Russia and Spain will square off in one Olympic semifinal, both of them having survived in quarterfinal action North Greenwich Arena Wednesday.
Russia survived a late Lithuania rally and held on for an 83-74 win behind Andrei Kirilenko's 19 points and 13 rebounds and some clutch shooting late from captain Sergey Monya. They led five players in double digits for Russia, which finished first in pool play from Group B.
"Sergey Monya, our captain, is the face of everything we do, the face of Russia," said Russia's coach David Blatt. "He has played in every game for Russia in the seven years I have been with the team. He came up the biggest at the right time. He made the two biggest shots of the game and maybe of our career together."
Spain had to survive France and some late-game licks to advance. They closed the game on a 12-2 run and won 66-59 to set up Friday's semifinal matchup against Russia.
Nicolas Batum took a nasty swing at Juan Carlos Navarro, balling up his fist and swinging below the belt with 24 seconds to play. His frustration boiled over after his team's inability to finish with a flourish, the loss itself and Spain's "flopping" as France exited the competition before the medal round.
It was the second or third such incident of the competition, with Chris Paul of the U.S. and Facundo Campazzo of Argentina both taking swings (or at least Paul was accused of taking one) during their last pool play game Monday night.
"I just wanted to give him a good reason to flop," an unapologetic Batum said after the game. He was called for an unsportmanlike foul but wasn't ejected from the game. And as players from both sides shook hands, Batum was in the middle of the mix without incident.
He objected to Spain's tactics afterwards, though, insisting that he Spaniards resorted to acting late with the game on the line.
"That's not basketball," he said, haven taken particular offense to the reaction of Rudy Fernandez after he was fouled by Ronny Turiaf in front of the scorer's table moments earlier. "Sometimes, you have to give them a good reason to flop. And I hope I did."
Batum's shot was just the latest hurled at Spain, lambasted by some in the international press for not being able to beat Brazil in their final pool play game. That loss removed them from the path of the U.S. Men's Senior National Team until the gold medal game, provided both teams make it there.
"It's pride, pride," said Spain point guard Jose Calderon. "This is what we've been doing since we were like 13 years old, that's how long I've been playing with Pau [Gasol], Juan Carlos Navarro and all of these guys together. And we never play to lose. Everybody can say what they want about Brazil and whatever happened. The bottom line is we lost a game. Brazil played better than us. And it hurts, because it took so many years to gain that respect from everybody, but because some people want to talk about that the last couple of days, yeah, it hurts your pride."
The lack of respect from France was yet another shot, Calderon said. But one that ultimately doesn't matter now that his team is moving on to the Friday's semifinal matchup against Russia.
"I don't know what was in their minds, I'm not sure," he said. "But in our locker room, we knew we had confidence. We arrived today and said let's just play basketball. And step-by-step we focused and we're going to the semifinals. I don't know if we'll win another game or what will happen, but we're playing again. And that's all that matters."

Are we sure Brian Schottenheimer was really a Jets coach for six years?
Now the Rams offensive coordinator, Schottenheimer steadfastly refused to throw gas on the big, green dumpster fire his former team has become.
"[A victory Sunday] wouldn't count twice, but would I enjoy it?" he said, via Bart Hubbuch of the New York Post. "Absolutely."
That was about as inflammatory as it got, as Schottenheimer fired no shots in advance of Sunday's game against his old employer.
"If there's one thing I learned growing up in a coach's family, it's that stability in this business is crazy," he said. "We enjoyed six amazing years in New York. We were so close to getting to the Super Bowl, and I wish we would have had a chance to finish it. But there comes a time when it's time to make a change and move on, and I'm thrilled to be a St. Louis Ram."
Schottenheimer also escaped a stormy tenure with the Jets with his reputation intact, with Rams head coach Jeff Fisher saying "His opportunity to be a head coach is not far away."
"I really don't," Schottenheimer said, when asked if the criticism he took was unfair. "When you're a coordinator in this league, you're going to take bullets. I always appreciated how passionate the fans were back in New York, and it comes with the territory."
Maybe the physical distance or potential next job — or simple human decency — explains why he takes no comfort in the Jets struggles to move the ball, after many made him the scapegoat for it in the past.


text: Hi; Thank you in advance for any help you can give. I have a rent-a-server with one NIC and two real-world IP addresses. The first IP, 69.xxx.xxx.xxx, is the actual IP address of the server. The second IP, 209.xxx.xxx.xxx, is an IP alias. The interface is defined as follows: Code: # loopback interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # ethernet interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 69.xxx.xxx.xxx network 69.xxx.xxx.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 69.xxx.xxx.255 gateway 69.xxx.xxx.1 # virtual interfaces auto eth0:0 iface eth0:0 inet static name Ethernet alias LAN card address 209.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.255 The 69.xxx.xxx.xxx address has a web server and a number of functioning services on it. The 209.xxx.xxx.xxx address is a recently purchased address. It "pings" as defined above. I've no previous experience with IP aliaes, but as I understand it, the address is NOT associated with a network at all. There is no broadcast or gateway associated with the address. I am attempting to install a product that functions within a virtual machine hosted on the same server. I want the virtual machine to be addressed by the 209.xxx.xxx.xxx address. The pre-built VMWare based virtual machine obtains its IP through DHCP. Both the host and virtual machine are Ubuntu 10.04 server. I would prefer to change the VM to use the 209.xxx.xxx.xxx static IP, but have no idea how to set that up since there is no actual network/broadcast/gateway. When I attempt to set up the dhcp3-server on the host, it fails to start, issuing the error message: "No subnet declaration for eth0:0 (0.0.0.0). ** Ignoring requests on eth0:0." as if the eth0:0 interface is not up. The eth0:0 is, however, up. For reference, the host server is Ubuntu 10.04 server with ISPConfig3, the Virtual Machine server is VMWare Server 2.02, the guest OS is Ubuntu 10.04 server. Networking is set to bridged per the application requirements. Anyone know how to set the above scenerio up? Is it even possible with an IP alias? Thanks in advance,

Xcel Energy Expects Sioux Falls To Be Fully Powered By Saturday
SIOUX FALLS, S.D.- Xcel Energy says it has restored power to all but 9,000 customers in eastern South Dakota affected by this week's ice and snow storm.
The company says it expects to complete service restoration on Saturday. Some 90,000 customers in Sioux Falls and surrounding communities have been dealing with outages since the storm hit Tuesday. Crews have restored power to about 81,000 of those customers.
More than 420 workers are in the state, with Xcel crews coming in from South Dakota, Minnesota and North Dakota and contractors helping from Iowa and Wisconsin. Additional crews from other utilities in Minnesota, Nebraska and Kansas are also assisting.

Background A vulnerability has been discovered in the Bash command shell that can allow attackers to remotely execute commands on a target system. Even systems that don't allow remote command shell connections may still use Bash to execute commands in the Apache web server and other network-facing applications. Unix and Unix-derived systems like Linux and Mac OS X are vulnerable to these attacks since they use Bash as the default command shell.
A Bash Shellshock document addressing this vulnerability has been posted to the Xerox Security Site.
NOTE: Review the bulletin for a more complete list of devices.
Xerox Security Bulletin XRX12-003 v1.1 (PDF 185.5K)
NOTE: We are re-issuing this bulletin due to a spelling error of the name of one of the researchers. No technical content in the bulletin has changed.
Vulnerabilities exist that, if exploited, could allow remote attackers to insert arbitrary code into the device. This could occur with a specifically crafted Postscript or firmware job submitted to the device. If successful, an attacker could make unauthorized changes to the system configuration; however, customer and user passwords are not exposed.

text: Durham dentist David Lambert will offer free oral cancer evaluations as a part of Oral, Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Week."As a health care provider who is as concerned with preventing problems as with treating them, I am glad that April provides this important opportunity for education and awareness," he said. Lambert said dentists and doctors can usually see or feel tissue changes or cancer while it is still very small, or in its earlier stages. "Regrettably, most oral cancers are discovered as late stage cancer because people don't realize the importance of being screened," Lambert said. "Screening can save lives, since oral cancers have an 80 percent to 90 percent survival rate when found at early stages of development." The evaluations are available on a drop-in basis between 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. today and Thursday at Lambert's practice at 5015 Southpark Drive, Suite 120 in Durham. According to Lambert, there are two major types or oral cancer. They are the conventional form, often caused by tobacco and alcohol use, and HPV squamous cell carcinoma, a sexually transmitted disease. Many oral cancers can be prevented by limiting smoking and alcohol, he said. "The combination of smoking and drinking carries a greater risk of developing [cancer], although the vast majority of individuals who develop oral cancer consume alcohol," he said. Lambert said the risk is cumulative, increasing with the number of years a person has used tobacco and alcohol. Those with a family history of oral cancer may be at higher risk as well. The sexually transmitted disease mainly affects men between the ages of 14 and 69, he said. Limiting sexual partners, avoiding high-risk activities and possibly receiving the HPV vaccine Guardisil should lower disease risk, Lambert said. Lambert's advice to the public for limiting risk of oral cancer is to visit a dentist regularly, and to see a medical professional if a person has a mouth sore that doesn't heal within 14 days, a change in sensation such as numbness or pain that doesn't go away, or anything that bleeds unusually. Other symptoms include a lump or mass that can be felt inside the mouth or neck; pain or difficulty in swallowing, speaking or chewing; any wart-like mass; hoarseness that lasts a long time; or numbness in the mouth or facial area. A persistent earache can also be a warning sign. Oral cancer can affect the mouth, tongue, tonsils and throat. The Oral Cancer Foundation estimates that oral cancer represents about 3 percent of all cancers nationwide. (c)2012 The Herald-Sun (Durham, N.C.)

Senior Amanda Toke became the ninth Blue Devil women's lacrosse player to reach 100 career points on Friday in a 16-6 home loss to league-leader Bryant. The loss drops the Blue Devils to 5-9 overall and 2-3 in Northeast Conference play. The Bulldogs are now 11-3 overall and 5-0 in league play after the win.
Bryant began the game by scoring the game's first nine goals to build the first half lead. Sophomore Falynn McCartney scored the first goal of the game for the Blue Devils and then Toke recorded her 100th career point with a goal to make it 9-2. Bryant scored again before halftime to make it 10-2 at the break.
With Central down 12-2 Toke scored her 30th goal of the season, and second of the game, to make it 12-3 with 19:28 left in the game. McCartney's second goal of the game made it 12-4. It was her 25th goal of the year. She would add two more including one that cut the score to 16-6 with under three minutes to play.
McCartney ended the game with four goals, while Toke added a pair. Junior Morgan Tullar made 11 saves in goal for the Blue Devils.
Bryant was led by Lisa Vendel, Katherine Keckeisen and Olivia McCarthy who each had three goals. Lauren Descalzo and Kimberley Sniffen added two apiece. Brianna Watt had nine saves in the victory.
Freshman Marissa Soto controlled a team-high three draws. She also picked up a ground ball and caused a turnover.
Senior Cierra Ward, freshman Courtney McPartland and Toke each caused two turnovers in the game. Ward also scooped up a team-high three ground balls, as did sophomore Elyse Malecki.
Malecki also recorded the assist on CCSU's fourth goal of the game.
The Blue Devils are off until next Friday, April 25 when they host Sacred Heart at 4 p.m. on Arute Field on Senior Day. Central will honor its five seniors prior to the game's start.

PJR910 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 171 diseños de 47 diseñadores freelance.
Chocolate Seduction
The owner of the business is an ex chef who strives to demonstrate love, passion and excellence in what he creates.
The business is all about the making of chocolates - anything ranging from rocky road, after dinner mints etc to a seductive line of naughtiness.
I would describe myself as an open minded person who would like to fulfil the wants and desires of every individual lusting for chocolate by combining sex, humour and chocolate all in one.
Anybody dead or alive :)
Seriously.... I am targeting the likes of:
*gas stations
*sex shops
*work offices
*public events such as Mardi Gras, outdoor markets, St Patrick's day, Sexpo etc
Although, the sky is the limit..........
I would like everybody to feel free and creative as their passion and desire will allow them to be.
My initial thoughts were a pair of bright red open lips. The centre being white with 'Chocolate Seduction' written in the centre of the lips in a chocolate brown colour.
Although, I would like to express that this is not a requirement. Please feel free to express yourself based on what you have read and as I have mentioned the sky is the limit.
Thank you for taking the time to understand what I am trying to achieve as I believe the whole world will appreciate my vision and the outcome of what you create for me. been looking at all your work very closelythere is just so much talent will try to respond to all i am now looking at a light back ground as it will be in clear bags or boxes and with the chocolate being dark i need it to stand out and bite me also like to see more red thanks a lot you guys rock

PRATT, Kan. (AP)-- A 23-year-old Missouri native has won the 2014 Miss Kansas title and will represent the state in the 2015 Miss America Pageant in Atlantic City later this year.
Moberly, Missouri, native and current University of Kansas graduate student Amanda Sasek won the crown Saturday night at the pageant held at Pratt Community College in Pratt.
Pageant spokeswoman Lauren Werhan says 31 women competed for the title.
The Wichita Eagle reports last year's titleholder, Theresa Vail _ an Army National Guard sergeant who was voted the ``People's Choice'' in the 2014 Miss America pageant _ presented Sasek with the crown.
