Monday, May 13, 2013
One year ago this week
Solid week of running. I was gearing up for The Mt Evans Ascent and the Leadville Marathon. I'm currently coaching 6 Leadman/ Leadwomen and I've told them all that the bike needs to take a back seat right now and my own schedule reflects this. I felt that the bike training had to pretty much be over and done with at this point.
84 miles running/ 2:35 total biking. 17855ft vertical gain.
Monday was solid with 3 sessions finishing with the babyjogger. And red pen denotes quality or something positive. The babyjogger (~100+ pounds) is just brutally difficult up here at altitude with vertical.
Tuesday was 18 miles running.
Wednesday was my 4 Crosses hill which climbs over 800ft in 3/4 of a mile. I did it twice and negative split the two. I ran them as tempo effort or about Evans/ marathon effort.
Friday was 12 miles with 2000ft of vertical averaging 8:10 pace with an average HR of 139. Solid!
Saturday was an 18 mile tempo run averaging 6:24 pace (Garmin had it at 1700ft of vertical but that's high) and it felt quite easy and relaxed. This session showed me that I was nearly ready to crush Leadville.
This morning was 6 miles in 1:01:39. 10:16 pace with average HR 147. 957 feet of vertical.

i'm psyched to see that you also use words like "lame" and "rain" as the only additional notes in your training log. i occasionally use the words "shit" or "slog" ...but in the end, that's it.
negative energy has it's drawbacks, but in the end...it's still energy.
some people mix their alcohol with other types of alcohol...in the end, the drink is still alcohol.
and thank god for that.

Ya, I try use negative energy to make something positive or to change a situation I don't like. Negativity is also just our perception which is a choice.

Personal trainer and fitness entrepreneur Tracy Anderson has gotten hands-on with a high-profile roster of celebrity clients who've reshaped their bodies to look camera-perfect, but for the new AOL Originals series "The Restart Project," Anderson's teamed with client and close friend Gwyneth Paltrow to put the spotlight on everyday women who reshaped their entire lives through their commitment to health.
Each webisode takes Anderson and Paltrow into the lives of women from various walks of life who've overcome adversity, injury and personal tragedies, triumphing through diet and exercise.
"These are incredible women who were given situations in life that probably never happened to most of us – from losing a child, to losing a leg, to finding out you have cancer, to you're sleeping in your car," says Anderson. "The world occurred in a way for these women that was really truly tragic, and they chose to connect with themselves. They chose to bring their minds and their body and their health closer into focus for themselves. They were able to let themselves actually shine brighter through some pretty tough circumstances."
Anderson hopes that viewers will find inspiration in stories like that of Angela, a woman who worked through the grief of the death of her son by taking up his passionate pursuit of martial arts. She had long taken her children to classes and was frequently asked by their instructor to join in herself, but she always begged off. When her oldest son Matthew, with whom she was especially close, died after inadvertently mixing painkillers with alcohol following a military training accident, Angela was devastated, but she forced herself to pull things together for both her other children and herself. Almost unconsciously, she says, she found herself enrolled in martial arts courses with her son's trainer. Ultimately, it provided her with a way to rebuild her life through creating a strong body and an equally strong will.
For Anderson and Paltrow, the Ryan Seacrest-produced series provided both an eye-opening look at women's potential for remolding their lives in the face of turmoil and a sense that everyone faces challenges that can't be guessed at from the outside.
"[Gwyneth] and I both say we're not people with flawless lives, and we both face things in our lives every day, too, that I think people will be surprised to know," Anderson said. "It puts things in perspective for you. Like, 'Yes, I may be dealing with this, but look at some of these women with little to no resources, they showed up for themselves. They dug into themselves and healed themselves. The stories were really beautiful. We wanted it to be a landscape of women so that people could watch the series and find somebody that they really identified with."
"To be able to show women, to show even my audience, "Look, this girl lost her leg - Come on: look at yourself in the mirror and figure out how you can create balance where there's imbalance in your health," says Anderson. "And from that angle, I really was excited to be a part of it."
Working on the show provided a new element to the mission the duo are trying to build alongside their careers – Paltrow's as an Academy Award winning actress and a lifestyle advocate through her popular website Goop; Anderson's as a top-level fitness expert, instructor, author and owner of several training centers.
"It brings a deeper conversation to the table for us and what we do for our partnership," she explains. "We want to help transform lives. We don't care about how many celebrities may come and do my method. We don't care about getting people red-carpet-ready in two weeks or bikini-ready in under ten days. ... We care about people's health and all the layers that go with it. A project like this gives us the opportunity to kind of check in more with what we're doing and what direction we're going and how we continue to develop the tools that are going to help better people's lives."
"I'm really interested right now in going to the step before people come to fitness, because it's an important step that people don't come to in the right way," she adds. "What they do is they say, 'Oh, I'm looking at this magazine, and I wish I had that girl's butt or that girl's legs' 'I wish I had that' or 'Why don't my lips look like this?' And it's totally from the wrong place." Anderson says that rather than trying to emulate another's look or physique, motivation should stem directly from someone's specific physical, mental and emotional needs. She advocates getting as much information from all your health resources as your means can provide and building self-specific diet and exercise plans from there.
"Gwyneth and I believe in the emotional connections to life and food. We both are not fans of extreme dieting and this whole vanity-driven, multi-billion dollar industry… because there are a lot of things in the world that are packaged as healthy that are incredibly unhealthy. We like to lean into the people who are researchers doing really great work in it, and with food, we have an eat organic – not processed – foods mindset, of course. And obviously, you have to connect to yourself, four to six days a week, and not hop around. You are how you move, just like you are how you eat, and you need to be focused. You need to not hop from trend to trend to trend."
Amassing a celebrity clientele that's included Madonna, Courteney Cox, Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Richie and Ashley Green, Anderson formed a particular bond with Paltrow. "The thing that makes it work is that we both have growth mindsets: Gwyneth doesn't have a fixed mindset, and I don't – I never stop learning, and she never stops letting me teach her," she says. "She knows that you're only going to get out what you put in, and you can either listen to me as an expert, or you cannot. And she has just chosen to listen, so she's getting the results."
The first two episodes are available now at Restart-project.com. Two new episodes will premiere each Monday for the five-week run of the series.

Choosing the Right Law School / Need help deciding what school« on: March 05, 2012, 12:09:52 PM »
Hey everyone, I am in desperate need for advice. I tried top-law-schools but they seemed to rip everything that wasn't t-14 or big law oriented. I have been accepted to Northern Kentucky, Capital, Ohio Northern, Cleveland State, U of Dayton, Valparaiso, and waiting to hear from Case. I am highly considering U of Dayton because I am from the area and would have virtually no living expenses. Can anyone give me advice which school to go to? (I am not aiming for big law. If i had to pick an area where to work I would say Dayton, Columbus, or Eastern Penn.) Thanks for all the help guys

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The family of 24-year-old Salam al-Zaghal is openly admitting to and defending his brutal murder of an Israeli Jew in Samaria last week.
"What he has done is the duty of all Palestinians who suffer from the aggression of the army and the settlers," stated al-Zaghal's father, Ali al-Zaghal.
It should come as little wonder that average Palestinians think this way about their Jewish neighbors when their own leaders in the Palestinian Authority are setting such a terrible example.
Just a day after the murderous stabbing, the party of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas hailed the killer on its official Facebook page. Such glorification of those who murder Israeli Jews is commonplace in the Palestinian Authority, and is one of the chief reasons that peace remains so elusive.
The victim in the attack was Eviatar Borovzky, a 31-year-old husband and father of five who was beloved throughout the Jewish communities of central Samaria.
Borovsky's mother, Chaya, recalled for Arutz 7 the heart-rending conversations she had with her grandchildren following their father's death.
"Five small children, five small orphans left behind. The youngest is one year old and the oldest is seven," she said. "I spoke to the third son, who is four-and-a-half, and he told me that a wicked Arab man murdered Daddy and Daddy died."

CA boss charges detailed
Unpleasant discovery
Sanjay Kumar, the former boss of Computer Associates, has been accused of paying a $3.7m bribe in a failed attempt to cover up the company's dubious accountancy practices.
US prosecutors have filed revised indictments against Kumar and Stephen Richards, former head of worldwide sales, including securities fraud, conspiracy and obstruction of justice.
The changed indictment alleges Kumar gave the green light to a $3.7m fee to a man who was threatening to reveal the problems with CA's books.
Back in 2000 CA signed a multimillion dollar contract with "a nearly insolvent" customer and then backdated the payment so it hit targets for the previous quarter.
But "Individual #1", the boss of the company, wanted paying for helping CA out. Two CA executives flew to Hawaii to meet him and after further threats of exposing CA's practises Kumar agreed to pay him $3.7m for consultancy services which were never delivered, according to ITNews.com. More details here.
The two sides are currently in discovery, showing each other evidence, and will meet again in July.
CA reached agreement with the US government late last year and agreed to pay $225m.®

Effects of Paliperidone in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

- How to Read a Study Record
Chronic posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a debilitating disorder and treatment response to pharmacological interventions has been modest for these patients. Chronic elevated anxiety and associated psychophysiological parameters including increased heart rate and alterations in skin conductance are key symptoms of chronic PTSD. Antidepressants, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs) or norepinephrine-serotonin re-uptake inhibitors are considered treatment of first choice for these patients, however a substantial portion of patients do not respond sufficiently (Zhang and Davidson 2007). Therefore, there is a need to establish novel and effective add-on treatment strategies for these patients. Recently, atypical neuroleptics have received considerable attention since it was shown in multiple controlled and naturalistic trials that these medications are an effective treatment option for patients with PTSD (Davis et al 2006). In chronic PTSD, the psychophysiological responses at baseline and in response to treatment have yet been inadequately studied and may provide novel insight into antidepressant and anxiolytic mechanisms of medications used in the treatment of PTSD. Therefore, in addition to evaluating the antidepressant and anxiolytic effects of paliperidone, a novel atypical neuroleptic, in the treatment of PTSD, we also aim to compare neurophysiological responses at baseline with post-treatment effects in antidepressant-refractory PTSD patients.
Primary Aim 1: Evaluate the anxiolytic and antidepressant effects of paliperidone in patients with PTSD.
Secondary Aim 2: Evaluate the effects of paliperidone on fear conditioned psychophysiological responses (including startle eyeblink, skin conductance, and cardiovascular inter-beat interval) at baseline and after 6 weeks of naturalistic treatment in chronic PTSD patients.

Paliperidone will be added to the existing treatment regime which will remain unchanged during the study period. PTSD subjects will have a minimum score of 50 on the Clinician-Administered PTSD Scale (CAPS; Blake et al, 1995).
Exclusion Criteria:
- a comorbid diagnosis of bipolar illness, schizophrenia or other psychotic disorders, acute or chronic suicidality, acute or chronic unstable medical conditions (including severely impaired hepatic function as indicated with abnormal PT and PTT, abnormal CBC, and liver enzymes more than 50% above the upper normal range, not well controlled blood pressure)
- current diagnosis of substance abuse or dependence
- unsuccessful treatment history with paliperidone
- known hypersensitivity to paliperidone or any of its inactive ingredients
- administration of any investigational drug up to 90 days before entry into the study

Buffalo is a commuter's paradise, billed as the "20-Minute City" for its lack of traffic delays and blissfully brief commutes.
Forbes magazine has declared Buffalo the "best U.S. city" for commuting.
In fact, Buffalo's average commute time — yes, it has been clocked at 20 minutes — is the second-shortest of the country's 52 largest cities.
That translates to an enhanced quality of life for our faculty, staff and students, who enjoy stress-free travel regardless of where they're headed around the region.
Buffalo's Metro Bus provides quick, economical service throughout the city and suburbs.
The Metro Rail line connects UB's South Campus with downtown Buffalo and the neighborhoods in between. All rides are free in downtown Buffalo. (UB employees who are regular commuters might wish to take advantage of the NYS-Ride program that allows pre-tax dollars to be used for monthly passes.)

Starfleet uniforms of the 2230s were drastically modified from the design used in the mid 22nd century. They were designed as tight fitting body suits with black piping running across the front of the yoke and onto the upper sleeves. A Starfleet insignia, or assignment patch, was worn on the upper left breast pocket. There were at least three division colors: blue for the command division, including tactical, a goldish green, presumably engineering, and a pearl grey, which was presumably non-medical sciences and/or security. The medical staff wore white. (Star Trek)
The uniform was replaced by a new design in the late 2230s. (ST: "The Brightest Star")
Duty uniforms Edit
The duty uniform consisted of a tight fitting shirt with black piping running across the yoke and down the sleeve until the elbow. These shirts were divided into the three division colors, and came with appropriately colored pants. The pants themselves had two pockets on the front and were worn with a gold belt and buckle that a communicator could be attached to. Rank was displayed on the sleeve cuffs.
Medical uniforms Edit
A series of white medical uniforms were also worn during this period. These were produced in several varieties, all of which featured white shoes and bore assignment insignia in the same location in which it was worn on duty uniforms. One variety consisted of an almost knee-length, high-collared white tunic worn over white trousers. The tunic featured a mandarin collar, and could be worn with a thin, white plastic-like coat. A second type consisted of a single piece tight, knee-length skirt/tunic with a wide, open collar. Unlike other uniforms of this period, these uniforms featured closures along the left side, which ran from the collar along the shoulder and down the side of the torso.
Two varieties featured untucked hip-length folded-collared shirts, similar in design to those popular in 20th century male formal wear on Earth. Both varieties included white trousers and a clear plastic-like outer shirt worn over the white uniform shirt, excepting the folded collar, and were fastened under a thin flap along the front of the shirt. They differed only in the length of the sleeves of the white shirt portion of the uniform.

Background information Edit
Michael Kaplan designed the 2230s Starfleet uniforms.
The design and look of the uniforms was inspired by science fiction movies of the 1950s. (Star Trek Magazine issue 146)
Apocrypha Edit
Star Trek: Countdown to Darkness, Issue 2 depicts this style of uniform was phased out by, at least, 2239 in the alternate reality, and replaced with a new design.

Red Star vs Partizan
Pick: Red Star to win
Category: Football – SERBIA: Cup
FC Red Star meets with Partizan in the final of the Serbian Cup. The match will be played on Thursday, May 23rd at Stadion Rajko Mitic (Belgrade)
The big Serbian derby between Red Star and Partizan will be held on Mala Marakana. Red Star is one of the best teams in Serbia and has only one loss for the entire season in all home tournaments, but here the form does not matter. Everyone has heard about the atmosphere in these derbies, but not everything is positive. Two of the two team players, Savic and Stojkovic, said before the game that they would like to have as many children as possible on the stadium, but Savic would not allow his children to go because it is dangerous for health.
The form of the teams is not bad. Partizan has 4 wins in the last 5 games, but this season was not even the second best team in the league. A total of 18 points behind the Red Star and 6 behind Nis. At least it can be confirmed that their game in defense was much better and although they did not keep many clean sheets, they allowed only one goal in their matches.
In the last derby 2 years ago in the Cup final, Partizan won 1-0. Before that time, the two teams did not play in the final for many years. Partizan still has more Cups from Red Star. For Red Star, this is the big goal – to become number one in this tournament too. We think that, like most cup finals and even more local derbies, we will see a very cautious and closed game without unnecessary risks. But we will go to Red Star to win the match.
Good Luck

If there was any lingering doubt that Ed Reed was intent about testing the free agent market and leaving the only NFL organization he's ever known, it should have been erased Thursday afternoon when the long-time Ravens safety stepped off a plane adorned with a Houston Texans' logo.
Texans general manager Rick Smith traveled to Atlanta on team chairman and CEO Bob McNair's private plane to pick up Reed at his offseason home and then brought him back to Houston where the unrestricted free agent spent the day at Reliant Stadium, meeting with team officials. All indications were that Reed was extremely impressed by the visit.
While no deal was struck and the cash-challenged Ravens maintain interest in him, Reed was scheduled to have dinner with Texans' coaches and spend the night in the Houston area and seems poised to become the latest member of the Super Bowl XLVII champions to bolt to another team. Reed even talked about the Ravens, who he played with for 11 seasons, in the past tense.
"It has been a great ride," Reed said to a small group of reporters, including one from the Houston Chronicle, after arriving at Reliant Stadium. "The fan support has been truly amazing, a lot of love and a lot of blood, sweat and tears. It's definitely tough, but after 11 years, you pretty much understand things about the business. After leaving a program like Miami and being around the great people in Baltimore, I think the transition [to a new team] will be all right."
The Texans, who lost starting safety Glover Quin to the Detroit Lions on Wednesday, rolled out the red carpet for Reed and chronicled his visit on the team's Twitter account as if he was a rock star. The account proclaimed "Wheels up!" when McNair's plane took off for Atlanta and then noted when Reed entered the team offices. Defensive coordinator Wade Phillips also took to his Twitter account to say that Reed had stopped by his office for a talk.
"This is classy, man," Reed, a Louisiana native, told reporters. "This is southern hospitality. It's a great feeling."
A source with knowledge of the situation indicated that the Texans have been communicating with the 34-year-old since Tuesday's start of free agency and they were prepared to get close to Reed's asking price, which is believed to be $6 million annually. Contract parameters had already been discussed before Reed arrived Thursday in Houston.
"It's mutual," Reed told reporters early in his visit. "Both of us are contenders and want to get a championship, but we still have some things to work out. Conversations have been great, amazing. We're on the same page as far as what we need to get done."
Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome, who spoke with the franchise leader in interceptions before free agency started to let Reed know where the team stood, did not respond to a request for comment about the situation.
Reed's pending loss would continue a mass exodus from the Ravens since they won their second Super Bowl with a 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Feb. 3 in New Orleans. Center Matt Birk and middle linebacker Ray Lewis have retired. Wide receiver Anquan Boldin was traded. Guard Bobbie Williams and safety Bernard Pollard were released. Linebackers Paul Kruger and Dannell Ellerbe and cornerback Cary Williams have left in free agency.
All told, the Ravens have lost six starters from the Super Bowl and eight players who started a game at some point during the 2012-13 campaign. And that number could grow with Reed seemingly poised to leave and left tackle Bryant McKinnie and nose tackle Ma'ake Kemoeatu immersed in free agency.
At the season wrap-up news conference last month, Newsome spoke of wanting to make the organization's relationship with Reed "last a bit longer." However, after what has transpired over the past couple of weeks, re-signing the veteran doesn't seem to fit with the Ravens' offseason trend of getting younger and cheaper, particularly on defense.
The loss of Reed, coupled by Lewis' retirement after 17 seasons, would leave the Ravens without the two players who have defined the team's defensive excellence. Reed started every game for the Ravens this past season and finished with four interceptions. However, he was not the big-play threat that the Ravens have grown accustomed to and his tackling issues were problematic at times.
Still, he was one of the team leaders and he had earned his status as one of the best free safeties to ever play the game. A nine-time Pro Bowl selection and former Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year, he's had five or more interceptions in seven of his 11 NFL seasons, and his 61 career regular-season interceptions are a franchise high and the most in the NFL since he entered the NFL.
No Raven appeared to enjoy the Super Bowl victory as much as Reed, who celebrated winning his first ring less than a half hour from where he grew up. In the days that followed the win, Reed said that he planned on being a Raven for the rest of his career.
However, from the moment he stepped off McNair's plane today, it became increasingly clear that Reed and the Ravens could be parting ways, perhaps as early as Friday.

MONTGOMERY — Two official meetings to wrap up the Nov. 6 election in Alabama are scheduled this month and in December.
MONTGOMERY — Two official meetings to wrap up the Nov. 6 election in Alabama are scheduled this month and in December.
The state canvassing board will meet at 2 p.m. Nov. 28 in Secretary of State Beth Chapman's office to canvass and certify the votes from the general election.
The canvassing board is Chapman, Attorney General Luther Strange and Gov. Robert Bentley, or their representatives.
"Counties will get their election results to us by that date and we will certify those," Deputy Secretary of State Emily Thompson said Tuesday.
About 2.05 million Alabamians voted for president on Nov. 6. That is 72.3 percent of the state's registered, active voters.
The state's nine Electoral College members are scheduled to meet Dec. 17 in the Capitol to cast ballots for president and vice president.
Republican electors will vote in a losing effort for presidential nominee Mitt Romney and vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan. They won Alabama's nine electoral votes, but lost nationwide to Democratic President Barack Obama.
Obama won 26 states, including most of the populous ones, to Romney's 24, and claimed 332 of the 538 possible electoral votes.
Lynn Robinson of Addison is a first-time elector. She is a pledged Romney delegate from the Fourth Congressional District, which includes Etowah County.
Robinson said she will be casting a ballot for Romney, whom she supported both in 2008 and this year.
"I'm quite depressed," she said. "For us it's sad, but we're proud of Romney and Ryan. It's been a pleasure to work so hard for him, not only this time but four years ago.
"My county was 86.79 percent for Romney," she said. "I guess that's somewhat of a consolidation prize."
Montgomery attorney Will Sellers is an at-large elector for Romney and Ryan.
"We're pledged to carry out the will of the people," Sellers said.
States are given electors based on their number of representatives and U.S. senators. Alabama electors are required to vote as the state voted.
The electors sign six copies of their results and send one to the president of the U.S. Senate, two to the archivist of the U.S., two to Chapman's office and one to the chief judge of the Middle District of Alabama in Montgomery.
Alabama's other electors are Terry Lathan, District 1; Sue Neuwien, District 2; Bob Fincher, District 3; Elbert Peters, District 5; Ed Allen, District 6; Robert Cusanelli, District 7; and state Sen. Jabo Waggoner, R-Vestavia Hills, at-large.

Have you told anybody about this???
Your family? Friends? The cops? You at least need to find out if there are stalking laws in your state!! Some states have them now, where it is against the law for someone to even harrass you repeatedly, much less stalk you. If I were you, I would make an appintment with a lawyer. Most lawyers will let you have a free consultation. Just explain to them what is happening, and ask if you would be justified in getting a restraining order (if that is what you want to do), or what steps you should take to protect yourself!! DON'T JUST DO NOTHING!!
Even if he has threatened you, get some kind of help!! Men (or women) who stalk are seeking one thing--CONTROL. Remember, there is not going to be anyone there to yell "CUT!", when the going gets terrifying!! THIS AINT NO MOVIE!! AND DON'T BE FOOLED into thinking it's not that serious or that he wouldn't really hurt you. You don't know that. You need to tell SOMEONE what is going on, and find out how to stop this before it escalates! At least find out what other people think, who have seen you and him together. If others have noticed his behavior is becoming dominant or threatening, then it isn't your imagination, and YOU MUST TAKE ACTION!! I'll say a prayer for your situation, and I wish you a safe harbor from this.

I agree w/Annie M you have to tell someone or find out about the stalking laws in your state.
this sounds very serious and scary at the same time. I agree w/ Annie did you tell someone in your family-this guy needs help and you do not need to be another victim.
Call the police and find out what you should you especially and for to start off with get a restraining order against this guy-then aleast his name is in there system. then find out what you should do from there.
I will keep you in my prayers!

I just sent "markslover5" an e-mail, asking if she is Okay, and for her to let us know something. I realized it has been over a month since we have heard anything from her.
Maybe she will post soon, or if she lets me know by e-mail, I will pass on the reply to y'all.

1. "Buried beneath the dunes: 236 toothbrushes."
With summer nearing its end, many Americans are seeking one last escape to the 7,000-plus coastal and Great Lakes public beaches. In 2012, beachgoers recorded a total of 275 million-plus visits for the sixth consecutive year, according to the United States Lifesaving Association. But what Americans don't love is the fact that many beaches are shut down each summer, some of them more than once, due to water-quality issues. In eight out of the last nine years, 20,000-plus beach closings and advisories have been reported throughout the United States, according to the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental advocacy group. And 80% of the closings are due to the fact that "bacteria levels in beach water exceeded public-health standards, indicating the potential presence of human or animal waste in the water," says NRDC.
The pollution problem isn't limited to the water. There is plenty of garbage on the sand. In 2012, volunteers with the Ocean Conservancy, a Washington, D.C.-based beach advocacy group, collected more than 10 million pounds of trash strewn across nearly 18,000 miles of shoreline throughout the world (the United States had the largest cleanup effort). The items picked up ranged from the everyday (2.1 million cigarettes, 1.06 million water and other beverage bottles) to the unexpected (236 toothbrushes, 117 mattresses).
Add it all up and it spells a sad reality. "We're treating our beaches like a garbage can," says Fabien Cousteau, an oceanographer and grandson of the famed French sea explorer Jacques Cousteau.
What's behind all this mess? Water quality has been heavily affected by continued coastal development — from 1970 to 2010, the population living in U.S. coastal counties surged by nearly 40% to 123.3 million, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. More development equals more bad stuff potentially finding its way to the ocean, often through storm-water runoff.
As for the trash on the sand, the issue is largely because of the "throw away" aspect of American society, say environmentalists. That is why they argue for bans on plastic bottles — the more disposable items in people's hands, the more they'll end up on our beaches. Italy recently imposed such a ban in one coastal region — a "nice move" that sets "the pace for the rest of the world's special areas," said the Surfrider Foundation, a prominent California-based beach advocacy group. But Ocean Conservancy marine-debris specialist Nicholas Mallos says a "more systemic approach" is needed that "addresses all plastics and packaging" and keeps even more trash off the sand.

Die Juden in Unter-Stanestie a/cz., written in German and published by Mercaz Press in Tel Aviv (1965) is one of many Gedankbuch or "Yizkor books", in which an author from a community destroyed by the Holocaust attempts to leave some record of the town concerned. Josef Schapira's admirable work chronicles the richness of Jewish life in Unter-Stanestie, complete with personal anecdotes, folklore, religious conventions and a chronological history culminating in the terrible events as witnessed by the author.
On pages 363-367 there is a Yiddish memorial list for residents of Staneshtie de Zhos and the surrounding area that were martyred between 1940-1945. The author also includes those who perished in Transnistria and Siberia. In most instances, Mr. Schapira did not list the names of wives or children. When possible, he did identify the gender of children killed, and in the case of multiple listings of the same family name, he mentions some attribute to distinguish branches of the same family.
I have attempted to make a proper translation of this Yiddish text. In doing so,I have tried to find family names of the deceased in the anecdotal sections of Schapira's prose, so that the translation will be as accurate as possible. I am also indebted to Lauren Azoulai, who provided a xeroxed copy of the Unter Stanestie Bukowinauer Circle's 1950 Twentieth Anniversary program, with its own memorial list as well as a list of those who survived that facilitated this effort. With Lauren's permission, I will try to get make these lists available to the ROM-SIG as soon as I can.
There are bound to be errors in this effort. Please feel free to contact the ROM-SIG people to correct any innacuracies.
For those interested in the history of the area, Mr. Schapira also makes
reference to another book -
Geschicte der Juden in der Bukowina (The
History of the Jews in Bukovina), Volume I
, edited by Hugo Gold, (1958) by
Edition "Olamenu" and printed by the Lidor Press (P.O.B. 3002, Tel-Aviv,
Israel.). A second volume deals with the periods 1919-1940 and 1940-1952.

Security Vendors Offer Windows 7 Protection
Just because you're running a beta operating system doesn't mean you can go without security protection. In fact, Windows 7 will nag you to install security and point specifically to security providers AVG, Kaspersky, and Symantec. Kaspersky in particular has announced that their technical prototype of Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows 7 will "[provide] greater efficiency and complex antivirus protection for the new operating system".
But wait. Microsoft tells us that there won't be any compatibility problems in going from Vista to Windows 7, nothing like going from XP to Vista. Security programs in particular were hard-pressed to work with User Account Control and other Vista security enhancements. All those problems should be solved by now, so why do we need security that's specifically oriented to Windows 7?
Alexey Kalgin, Director Product Marketing for Kaspersky's Corporate division, explained. "We did not release a completely new version for Windows 7. Since Windows 7 is in beta, we enhanced the current version of our corporate solution to take advantage of the new features of Windows 7 and released it as a technical prototype. The changes to existing solution were very minor and were done to ensure an easy migration for our customers from the XP or Vista OS's to Windows 7."
Symantec offers a free beta of Norton 360 version 3 to those running Windows 7 beta (and to everybody else as well). It makes sense to use a free public beta security product on your free public beta operating system, after all. But they don't report any serious changes required for Windows 7 compatibility. Sondra Magness, PR Manager for Symantec's consumer products, said "It's a great opportunity for us to get users to test both at the same time and provide their feedback to us on the user forum." Naturally if any Windows 7 problems do come up Symantec will find out about them.
Karel Obluk, CEO of AVG, agreed that compatibility is hardly an issue. "Honestly, we've had hardly any issues with Windows 7 compatibility. It was quite simple, our product has been tested and we fixed only a few minor things," said Obluk. "We will be monitoring the Windows 7 development so as to make full use of some of the improvements that might still make it into the final release."
Overall this is very encouraging. Vendors aren't fighting to force their software into agreement with underlying changes to the operating system. Rather, they're sailing along with only minimal changes. When Microsoft does release Windows 7, it looks like security vendors will be ready.

LAWRENCE -- City commissioners approved a new program requiring 10 percent of all rental properties in Lawrence be inspected every year in an effort to improve living conditions.
The Lawrence Journal-World reported Wednesday that the program requires single-family rentals to be licensed with the city, covering all zoning areas and making every rental property subject to random inspections. The city's current inspection program covers only rentals in single-family neighborhoods.
Commissioners voted 4-1 in favor of the program, and members will approve formal details at future meetings. The program is expected to be in place and inspections should be beginning by year's end.
"We want to find bad landlords and get them to correct their behavior," City Commissioner Bob Schumm said. "This is about the health, safety and welfare of our citizens."
City staff estimates the program will cost about $385,000 a year and add about 4,000 inspections to the city's work load each year. More inspectors will likely be hired.
Commissioner Mike Amyx voted against the expansion, questioning why additional staff was necessary for the inspections when tenants currently can call the city and request inspections of properties that are questionable.
"I'm just not comfortable increasing this level of government," said Amyx, who supported the registration portion of the program.
Commissioners said the program is aimed at making sure that landlords are paying attention to unsafe conditions, such as mold or faulty fire alarms.
Landlords would be required to pay a $10 licensing fee for each rental unit they have in the city, with larger apartment complex owners receiving a discount based on volume up to 30 percent for those with more than 150 units. Landlords would pay a $50-per unit inspection fee in years that properties are being examined and only for the number of units being reviewed.
Large complexes would have a cap on the number of inspections at any one time, either 10 percent of their total units or 15 units, whichever number is smaller.
The Lawrence Apartment Association asked commissioners to provide more price breaks on registration fees for larger complexes. A group representative questioned whether the city was prepared to begin the thousands of new inspections that would be required annually.

For Jim Daley and Jim Reynolds, there's nothing like the present – in more ways than one.
Mere months after moving to the Bay Area from Texas, Daley and Reynolds last week opened Present, a user-friendly store with a focus on local artisan foods and gifts, located at 162 Main St. in downtown Los Altos.
The move also afforded "The Two Jims" – as they're known by family and friends – the opportunity to live closer to their daughter, Michelle, and grandson, Henry, in Los Altos after spending the past 30 years living in the Lone Star State.
"It really is about the present for us," Daley said with a chuckle. "We're just really happy to be in such a great community."
The store offers a variety of gift items that can be included in customized gift baskets, such as flavored cooking oils, vinegars and tapenades from Napa Valley and Santa Rosa, Rustic Bakery goods from San Rafael and chocolates from Pasadena, to name a few.
A self-described "foodie," Daley said the inspiration behind the store came in part from the thriving food culture he and Reynolds witnessed during visits to the Bay Area throughout the years. He said those experiences helped formulate the idea of opening a one-stop shop that offered locally sourced foods and gifts.
"We thought, 'Why don't we open a place where you can get all of these things at once?'" said Daley, adding that he hopes the store will eventually serve as a pantry source for shoppers as well. "There really needs to be a place where people can get things that are made locally."
Reynolds, meanwhile, cited his enjoyment in the process of selecting and packaging thoughtful gifts for friends and family.
"It's all about the definition of 'present,'" said Reynolds, who along with Daley previously owned and operated a day spa and a hair salon on South Padre Island, a tourist destination located near Texas' southeastern tip. "It's about the art and ceremony involved in selecting a gift. … It's how you give (a gift) to somebody, too. To me, it doesn't have to be in a box with a bow."
To that end, Reynolds said the store strives to offer more than just the traditional wicker gift basket for customers. Instead, they use the gift items such as colanders, mixing bowls and plates as the customized gift basket.
The idea, Daley said, is creatively reusing or repurposing every element of the gift basket instead of being stuck with an empty wicker basket.
"It's part of the genius we like here in Northern California," said Daley, who plans to offer lines of premade gift baskets for sale online in the near future. "There's a creative energy we've been drawn to here for many years."
The Two Jims said the store's goods and its laid-back atmosphere are simply reflections of them.
"We just like people," Daley said. "And this is what we like to do."
Present is open 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays, seasonally open on Sundays and closed on Mondays.
For more information, call 949-4438 or visit www.presentlosaltos.com.

Doctor shares perspective of changes in medicine with students
Despite many positive advances over the past twenty years, internal medicine specialist Dr. Bryan Cotton of Lubbock said the state of medicine has seen its share of negative hits as well.
In an address to the Third Annual Medical and Health Careers Fair held Friday, Nov. 9 at Wayland Baptist University, Cotton gave his own perspective of how healthcare has changed since he has been practicing, specifically in the past two decades.
"Technology has made a huge difference," he said. "It's given us abilities we couldn't even dream of 20 years ago."
Among the technological advances, Cotton mentioned chemical markers that help indicate diseases or injury earlier and new tests that help detect and treat cancer. He also said advances in genetics and the ability to check early for presence of diseases was a positive step, though it presented a sticky situation in the area of ethics as far as replacing genes to correct deformities.
Other advances Cotton noted were in the area of imaging, including the CAT scan, MRI and improvements in ultrasound, and in flexible endoscopy, which allows for detection and surgical procedures with minimal cutting and recovery time.
But even with those positives, Cotton said the negative changes in medicine weigh heavily in the equation. Among those are litigation, third-party insurance and patient's rights.
"When I started, it was unheard of for patients to sue physicians. We were gods and they were mere humans," Cotton joked. "This has had an impact on the economy of medicine, because many doctors will do defensive testing on a patient just to make sure he won't get sued."
He also said litigation has raised medical costs, since doctors, hospitals and insurance companies now must carry expensive malpractice insurance and those costs get passed down.
Third-party insurance - including health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and Medicare - has affected medicine negatively in three ways, Cotton said. For one, the tightening rules and regulations mean physicians often must ask permission to perform procedures on patients. Those organizations also hold great control, Cotton said, since they frequently have blocks of a doctor's patients and can use that as a manipulation to hold to higher discounts. The interference with procedures, however, such as when a company tells a physician he cannot perform a procedure because the patient is not covered for such costs, is most disturbing to Cotton.
"Something really needs to be done, because you have people without a medical license practicing medicine, basically," he said.
Cotton said patient's rights have meant doctors have to keep up with many different sources of medical information, especially that on the Internet, in order to know what patients are taking in.
"People used to come in and say, 'Doc, please help me,' " he said. "Now they say, 'I have spent 12 hours researching this and I have such-and-such and want this test done and this prescription.' I wish that were funny but it's not. If I did all that, I wouldn't be a doctor, I'd be a clerk."
Cotton also noted several societal changes have affected medical practices, namely in the area of morality and issues of life and death such as abortion and euthanasia. He also said many medical schools are forgoing the traditional reciting of the Hippocratic Oath, a trend which disturbs Cotton.
"What I see in the long-term perspective is that when you make the physician not a healer but a killer, you've changed something drastically about medicine," he said. "What we're seeing is a fight for the soul of medicine, if you will."
Despite all this, Cotton still encouraged students who wanted a life of service to consider medicine.
"Medicine is an incredible career. You can really make a difference in someone's life," he said. "You shouldn't go into medicine if you look at it as a career or a way to make good money, but only if you have a calling."
A semi-retired specialist, Cotton served as a doctor in the U.S. Air Force before going into private practice in Corsicana, Clovis, NM, and Lubbock. Wayland's annual Medical and Health Career Fair offered high school and college students a chance to visit with and get information from representatives from area professional schools and medical programs, including medical and dental schools, nursing, physical therapy, radiologic technology and dental hygiene.

Author Notes: This year, I asked my husband for a yogurt maker for Valentine's Day. (Super romantic, right?) And because he's a wonderful, thoughtful husband, he got it for me -- along with a few packets of yogurt starter. Sigh. The manual that comes with it provides basic instructions and proportions for a few types of yogurt (plain, with jam, with syrup, etc.), and it's easy to use these as a jumping off point for other recipes. I tested out my new yogurt maker for the first time last week, whipping up a few jars of plain, a few flavored with honey and vanilla, and a couple infused with espresso. I sweetened the vanilla and espresso yogurt lightly; feel free to adjust the sweetness to your taste. —Merrill Stubbs
Makes: 7 servings
cups (40 ounces) milk (you can use low fat or skim, but I recommend organic whole milk for the best results)
tablespoon starter or 1/2 cup yogurt with active live cultures (I don't recommend Greek yogurt)
- Heat the milk gently in a large, heavy saucepan until it starts to steam. Remove it from the heat and let the milk cool to room temperature.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the starter or yogurt and about a ¼ cup of the lukewarm milk until smooth. Whisk this into the saucepan with the rest of the milk.
- Transfer the milk to a measuring cup or a bowl with a spout and pour carefully into seven 7-ounce yogurt jars (make sure these are clean and dry). Arrange the jars, without their lids, in the base of the yogurt maker and cover the base with the clear plastic lid. Plug in the yogurt maker and set the timer for 7 to 8 hours, depending on how firm you like it.
- When it's done, screw the lids onto the jars and refrigerate them for at least 3 hours before eating. ***Note: To make honey-vanilla yogurt, whisk in 3 to 4 tablespoons honey (depending on your taste) and the seeds of one vanilla bean after you combine the starter with the milk.To make espresso-flavored yogurt, whisk in 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon instant espresso and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (or more to taste) after you combine the starter with the milk.

Britney Spears Joins Twitter's '10 Million Club'
With her career on the upswing, Britney Spears now has one more thing to celebrate: on Friday, the pop star became the latest celebrity to reach the eight-figure follower mark on Twitter.
She is the sixth person, fourth woman and third female musical artist to become a member of Twitter's so-called "10 million club," whose membership already boasts stars such as Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, President Barack Obama, Katy Perry and Kim Kardashian.
So who'll be the next inductee? Probably 'Hips Don't Lie' singer Shakira, who's currently sitting at 9.1 million followers.
Meanwhile, the bad news keeps coming for Ashton Kutcher. Although the actor — who's currently embroiled in a cheating scandal that may cost him his marriage to wife Demi Moore — was the first Twitter user to rack up a million followers, it's projected that he'll soon fall off the list of the top ten most-followed people on the microblogging service.

China is a tough space for McDonald's, which lags behind rival Yum! Foods' 5.2% market share with just 2%.
McDonald's has publicly said it is not trying to beat Yum! Foods' reach, and is instead focusing on improving the quality of its menu. It's probably this ambition that the company had in mind when it decided to launch a new "rice-based" menu for the country.
Unfortunately for the golden arches, it sounds like a flop. A bad flop.
State news agency Xinhua announced the new menu earlier this month, reporting that would be sold in all 1,700 restaurants in mainland China.
"Our new dining options are examples of how McDonald's innovates to bring more options to our Chinese customers, because that's what they want," Kenneth Chan, chief executive officer of McDonald's China. said in a press release.
Here's a promo picture of the menu. In it you can see the "five colour tender chicken rice wrap" which costs Rmb16 ($2.61), the same wrap with beef for Rmb18 ($2.94), a "secret recipe" chicken and rice dish for Rmb18 ($2.94) and baked beef and rice for Rmb20 ($3.26).
The Financial Times' BeyondBrics blog has collected some of the online reactions to the menu, and they don't seem favourable. Here's one representative review:
"I tried McDonald's rice for the first time and it was truly disappointing. It not only looked terrible but it was too small: it cost Rmb20 for just a thin layer of rice with four thin beef cutlets and terrible vegetables."
Another customer complained that there was no chopsticks.
That's a relatively kind review, however, compared to the one featured in That's Mag. The expat publication reviewed most of the menu, taking photos to put alongside the official promo pictures, and it really isn't pretty.
Here's what they have to say about the beef and rice dish:
Quite sad, though, seeing these once-juicy plump patties, lying wretched and naked on the rice, roughly halved, undressed, reeking of their age. I don't know what you would do, but I decided to show these seniors some respect. I did what you'd always do visiting Grandma's for lunch: not eat any of it, then afterwards, order instead from your friendly local Chinese.

Javon Jackson
Javon Jackson is best known as a hard bop tenor saxophonist inspired by Joe Henderson. On this CD, however, he really stretches himself and shows that he is continuing to develop an increasingly personal voice. In addition to two challenging originals and a blues, Jackson performs a Brazilian piece (which has a verbal introduction in Portuguese by percussionist Cyro Baptista) and songs by John Coltrane ("Exotica"), Carlos Santana and Tony Williams ("Emergency," from his Lifetime fusion period). With the assistance of a core group that includes acoustic guitarist Fareed Haque, funky organist John Medeski (from Medeski, Martin & Wood), bassist Peter Washington and drummer Billy Drummond (plus two guest appearances from the fiery rock guitarist Vernon Reid), Jackson plays some of the most adventurous solos of his career. Intriguing music. ~ Scott Yanow

UPDATE, 4:40 p.m. ET — Allen West's campaign manager, Tim Edson, told The Daily Caller that a "stupid reporter" from the Palm Beach Post took West's comments out of context.
We updated the video at the end of the post to reflect the full context of West's comments. Edson said he was taking a "jab" at the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
Florida U.S. Rep. Allen West's latest headline-grabbing claim has earned him comparisons to the former Senator Joe McCarthy.
This morning at a town-hall event in Palm Beach, he told supporters that he has "heard" that up to 81 Democrats are, in fact, communists, the Palm Beach Post reports.
There are currently 190 Democrats in the House of Representatives. West didn't name any names.
In the video below, someone asks West how many members of the Democratic Party are "card-carrying Marxist Socialists."
"I believe that there are about 78 to 81 members of the Democratic Party that are members of the Communist Party," West responds. Oddly specific, it causes a buzz in the crowd.
When pressed for specifics, a spokeswoman for the West campaign said that West was referring to the 76 members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus.
"The Communist Party has publicly referred to the Progressive Caucus as its allies," West spokeswoman Angela Martin said in an email to Business Insider, pointing to this 2010 release. "The Progressive Caucus speaks for itself. These individuals certainly aren't proponents of free markets or individual economic freedom."
Of course, because the Communist Party has referred to the Progressive Caucus as an ally does not signal correlation. And it certainly doesn't mean that the Democrats are also members of the Communist Party. No members Congress are members of the Communist Party. And there is absolutely no mention of the Communist Party on the Congressional Progressive Caucus website.
A spokesman for the campaign of Patrick Murphy, the Democratic challenger to West for Florida's 18th District seat in the House, said West's words were "divisive" and "don't need to be in our political discourse."
"That was exactly what McCarthy did — accuse people without much evidence of being communists," the spokesman Anthony Kusich told Business Insider. "We thankfully put that chapter of our history behind us. Now, I guess if you disagree with someone on policy, you're also a communist. I don't think the American people and the people of Florida believe that."
At the same event, West said President Barack Obama would be "scared" to have a discussion with him. From the Palm Beach Post:
"I really wish that, standing here before you, was Allen West and President Obama," West said. "We could have a simple discussion. But that ain't ever gonna happen."
"Why not?" an audience member asked.
"Cuz he was too scared!" West responded in a mocking voice.
The comments come at a time when West's name is being thrown into the ring as a potential vice presidential candidate by a few Republican higher-ups. Both the former Republican candidate Herman Cain and former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin have touted West, a Tea Party favorite, as a potential VP nominee for Mitt Romney.
