7 Key Foods to Help You Get the Most Out of Your WorkoutBy Karen Tonnis
At some point in your hooked-in, hard-core Beachbody® experience, or even if you're just getting started, this thought may cross your mind: Wish I could get results even faster.
Well, now you can. Here's a list of dynamic foods that bring a lot to the table. Not only do they fit within a healthy nutrition plan, they're capable of sending your lazy taste buds a nice wake-up call.
- Tomatoes. Make the lowly tomato your best friend and you could potentially up your chances of staying healthy and recovering faster. They're loaded with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytonutrients. And because they're particularly rich in vitamin C and carotenoids, they may boost heart health, fight oxidative stress, protect against a variety of cancers, and combat inflammation. Tomatoes also contain potassium, an electrolyte that helps maintain fluid balance.
- Fish. A powerhouse of lean protein, fish lets you load up without blowing your calorie budget. The very leanest choices include white-fleshed fish like flounder or tilapia, as well as most shellfish, including lobster. Even dark-fleshed fish like tuna and salmon are considered lean, and the fat they provide (in the form of fish oil) can help regulate hormones and metabolism and reduce inflammation.
Of course, all this muscle-building power won't show up as a six-pack if you're not careful about how the fish is prepared. Watch out for calorie bombs like deli tuna salad and deep-fried fish or calamari.
- Açai berry. What look like ordinary small, purple berries are actually one of the best superfoods in the world. Açai berries contain one of the highest concentration of antioxidants of any known food, along with fiber, iron, amino acids, and healthy omega fatty acids. Add them to your diet in the form of juice or pulp and you can expect a load of benefits, including increased energy, faster recovery rate, boosted immune system, stabilized blood sugar levels, and more.
- Dark green leafy vegetables. Breaking news: Popeye was right about eating spinach. Especially if you want to build muscle FAST. The antioxidants found in dark green vegetables help counteract the oxidative muscle damage that comes with heavy training or exercise. So vegetables like broccoli, collard greens, lettuce, kale, and our hero spinach should be high on your list.
- Blueberries. Mom could've said, "Eat your blueberries and you'll grow up strong." This miniature superfruit is chock-full of nutrients and antioxidants. So if you're involved in strenuous activity, a daily cup or two of blueberries can help reduce cell damage. They also promote healthy blood pressure and contain complex carbs and fiber to help sustain energy and keep you in the game.
- Eggs. When you're trying to add muscle, protein is as important as any dumbbell or training buddy. Most important, you want increased "clean calories" from whole, natural, unprocessed foods—like eggs. Eggs are one of the most perfect proteins for growing lean muscle. By incorporating egg whites into your diet (with a small amount of egg yolk), you can get a high amount of protein for a relatively low number of calories. Six egg whites will give you 99 calories and 21 grams of protein. Now that's a deal.
- Green tea. If you're working out regularly, giving your body a constant supply of antioxidants can promote quicker recovery on a cellular level. And drinking green tea is a good way to vary your antioxidant intake. On top of its antioxidant properties, green tea can help protect the cardiovascular system, increase metabolic rate (which supports weight control), and may provide some anticancer and blood pressure–reducing benefits.
Add these 7 foods to your oxidant-fighting arsenal.
Go ahead and rev up your engine with these heavy-hitters for quicker results. But don't neglect your regular exercise program and healthy eating plan. Those are the real key. Start with a sound regimen, then add these seven for extra kick.

10 Ways to a New YouBy Steve Edwards
Most of us make resolutions to somehow change ourselves for the better in the upcoming year. More often than not, these resolutions involve promising ourselves to get into better shape, improve our diet, or quit some habit we think is hurting our health or well-being.
While the practice of making health-related resolutions tends to be great for business at Beachbody® (or any health and fitness company), these resolutions really only matter to you if they're helpful to you. Unfortunately, the statistics show that most of us won't see our resolutions through to the end of the coming year. Of course, you're an individual, not a statistic. Whether or not you succeed is entirely up to you.
Our job is to make your path to health and fitness easier. So here are some tips to help you succeed with your New Year's makeover.
- Feel free to change your resolutions. After all, they're yours. You made 'em and you can change 'em. While New Year's resolutions are a great idea in theory, we tend to make them so challenging that most are virtually doomed to fail. Research tells us that the majority of people have already cheated on their resolutions or given up on them altogether by the end of the first week of January.
The main reason is difficulty. The average resolution aims high—really high. For example, let's look at the ubiquitous, "I'm going to stop smoking." It's pretty easy to mess this one up, and once you've cheated at all, it's very easy to give up completely. In fact, a case could be made that many of us make our resolutions too difficult on purpose, because it makes it so much easier to stop trying. Instead, attempt a more holistic approach. Maybe your resolution is to stop smoking, but throw in "by the end of the year." Now you've got an entire year to work toward your goal.
- Make a plan. This is a big step, because given the scenario above, without a plan it's unlikely that you'll change anything in your lifestyle until the following December. Most of us can look at a calendar for the coming year and come up with a decent idea about our schedule and what might work for us if we were to, say, going to schedule an event as part of a resolution. Taking a minute to look at the upcoming year can give you a realistic sense of what you want to attempt.
Again, using quitting smoking as an example, you might want to schedule some kind of healthy retreat where you can cleanse yourself, get healthy, etc., during the year. You'll need to know your schedule, or, as we tend to do, you may find your resolution-related goal happens to fall during a month when you've got a lot of other obligations. Planning ahead will help stack the odds in your favor. Then you can also plan goals for the months leading up to your retreat.
- Remember the big picture. This one has to do with the fact that most resolutions are about self-improvement (or helping someone or something else improve). Some of the main resolutions we make are to quit a bad habit, change the way we look or feel, or become more educated. All these things require our minds and bodies to change. And while it is possible to do a 100-percent turnaround at the stroke of midnight on December 31st, it's not very likely. Your chances for success will increase dramatically if you use your brain and make a plan that allows for failure, plays to your strengths, and moves towards your overall goal in a way that makes it harder for you to give up than to keep going.
Again using quitting smoking as an example, here's an idea that's focused on the big picture. Break the year into 12 months. For January, you might want to start with an exercise program, because you know that the harder your body has to work physically, the less it'll crave cigarettes. So your entire first month might not actually address your ultimate goal directly. Instead, it can focus on something you know will help you down the line.
- Involve your family. If you've got a family, find a way to involve them in your quest. If you can't get them on your side, you might face some trouble, because you might find they're pulling you in the opposite direction. If quitting smoking is your goal, chances are your family will be supportive and do anything you ask. So for this example, let's use a family that consists of a dog, who isn't about to stop you from doing something you enjoy. Involving your dog is easy, because while he doesn't care whether or not you smoke, Fido would certainly rather have you out hiking with him. So thinking something like, "When I want a cigarette, I'll take the dog for a walk" could be an effective element in achieving your ultimate goal. And as you well know, Fido will be very supportive on this one.
- Involve your bad habits. We've all got some bad habits. If you can embrace yours and somehow involve them in your efforts to stick to your resolutions, you'll stand a much better chance of achieving success. Let's say you smoke most often when you're out drinking socially. Since you know you're vulnerable and will probably break down no matter what you tell yourself, find a roundabout way of allowing this.
For example, in the beginning, you might allow yourself to socially smoke a cigarette if you've exercised for an hour that day. This can evolve over the year to be stricter—perhaps increasing the exercise intensity or time required to earn the reward. In this instance, the harder you exercise, the less your body will crave that cigarette. So even though you've set up a cigarette as a reward, you'll be likely to find that you'll crave it less and less the more you exercise. The possibilities are nearly endless, and you'll need to get creative, but by involving your bad habits you'll virtually eliminate your excuses to quit progressing toward your goal.
- Involve your good habits. While this should fall in the "duh" files, it's surprising how often people try to ignore their own history when they attempt to make themselves over. Get realistic and embrace the things you like to do. Certainly, you must have some healthy things that you love to do that are good for you—going for walks, dancing, a favorite sport. Make sure they're a part of your plan.
And even if something you love isn't currently good for you, there's usually a way to change that. For example, if you love watching House, you can make this more positive by vowing to stretch in front of the TV, or exercise during the commercials. An hourlong network TV show has 20 minutes of commercials. You can get a lot done in 20 minutes.
- Find strength in numbers. Even the most independent of us needs support from time to time. Unless your goal is completely off the radar, there's probably a support group available, which you can prove to yourself by performing a 30-second Internet search. These support groups can be amazingly helpful and can fit any personality type. Even if you're very shy, just reading through what others say can help to motivate and keep you on track.
For exercise and diet support, we offer the Message Boards, the WOWY (Work Out With You) Supergym®, our virtual gym, and the Team Beachbody Game® (free to join, free to play!). By logging in to WOWY and working out, you can win cool prizes every day. (If you'd like to be eligible to win $25,000 and get more diet and fitness support, join the Team Beachbody® Club—risk free for 30 days!)
- Get involved for a higher purpose. This doesn't have to mean a religious higher power—although it can be. A higher purpose can be your family, your friends, or any number of causes—essentially anything that helps you make the world around you become a better place. We can often wallow in our bad habits due to a sense of helplessness. Getting involved in something beyond yourself can give you the sense that your life matters, because, well, it does. Engagement can be very empowering. Not to mention fun.
- Schedule some alone time. This is important because we tend to allow the outside world to distract us. Often this is done for the most altruistic purposes, putting family, friends, or job above ourselves. But all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and allowing control of your own life to slip away—even for a higher purpose—isn't the answer. If you're not healthy, happy, and content, it's going to be difficult for you to help others to be healthy, happy, and content. Even if it's just minutes a day, make some time for yourself to be alone where you're able to gather your thoughts and focus on what you want to happen in your future.
- Use a target goal that's qualitative, not quantitative. Our society loves numbers. Losing X amount of pounds, running X amount of miles, going X number of days without smoking—these are things we dangle in front of ourselves as if they were some Holy Grail. In fact, these things have very little impact, if any, on what we really want, which is to improve our lives. Numbers can be great motivators. They can be nice as signposts on your road to progress. But they can also mislead you and shouldn't be a part of your ultimate goal, because you can't really control them. Shooting for unattainable numbers is one primary way we can sabotage our self-improvement goals. The adage "It's not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game" isn't just about sports. Live your life well, and in the end, you'll be content, no matter where the numbers fall.

New Mexico Tech Names New VP of Student-University Relations, Aug. 4,2005
by George Zamora
SOCORRO, N.M., Aug. 4, 2005 – Ricardo Maestas recently was named vice president for student and university relations at New Mexico Tech. Prior to assuming his new position, he served as associate vice president for student services at the University of New Mexico.
Maestas, who brings 30 years of experience in higher education to the state-supported research university in Socorro, also has held a variety of other administrative, faculty, and research positions at UNM and the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor, his alma maters, as well as at state universities in Ohio and Illinois.
He received his doctorate in higher and postsecondary education from the University of Michigan and his bachelor's and master's degrees from UNM. In addition, he also is a graduate of Harvard University's Graduate School of Education management development program.
Maestas is an active member of several national societies and associations of higher education and maintains professional affiliations with various panels, foundations, and boards of directors, particularly with organizations focused on Hispanic and Latino issues and concerns in higher education.
In his new position as vice president for student and university relations at New Mexico Tech, Maestas will be responsible for directing and coordinating activities that are directly related to student recruitment and retention, admissions, financial aid, first-year experience, minority and international programs, advising and counseling, student and residential life, auxiliary services, career placement, fundraising, performing arts, and alumni and public relations.
"I am delighted to be given the opportunity to not only work at such an outstanding institution of higher education as New Mexico Tech, but also to be able to interact with some of the most exceptional students New Mexico has to offer," says Maestas.

She never believed anything could derail her long-held dream of becoming a jockey. But when the horse she was on flipped and landed on top of her last May on the Woodbine backstretch, Ryan, in the days after, had doubts about pursuing a life in the saddle.
Her broken pelvis would take seven months to fully heal.
"For as long as I can remember, I always wanted to be a jockey," recalled Ryan, who was raised in Ontario. "Those times when I was about nine-years-old, when my sister and I would ride our horses through the fields – I never forgot what I wanted to be. But when I was lying in the ambulance and the pain was excruciating, I wondered if I could do this."
Ryan soon reassured herself she could.
"It didn't take long for me to get over the fact I wouldn't be getting on a horse any time soon," remembered the 28-year-old. "When you know what you want to do and know that from a young age, there isn't much that can change your mind, not even something like that."
Not three years at accounting college, at the behest of her parents. Not working a 9-5 office job. And certainly not the six months of intense rehabilitation she endured.
"I think the day it really dawned on me that I should be riding horses rather than sitting at a desk was when a friend I worked with came up to me and we started talking," recalled Ryan. "She said, 'You shouldn't be doing this. You always talk about being a jockey. So just do it.'"
And that's just what she did.
Ryan, who enrolled in the exercise rider and jockey training program at Alberta's Olds College (Woodbine-based jockey and 2010 Sovereign and Eclipse Award-winning champion apprentice Omar Moreno is a graduate) in 2008, headed back there four years later to ride in her first race.
"The first year I was in Alberta I worked for a trainer by the name of Ron Grieves," said Ryan. "I thought riding out west would be good so that I could get some experience under my belt."
Her first ride came in a $2,000 claiming race at Grand Prairie on July 20, just four days after her 28th birthday. It wasn't a fairytale finish aboard Easy Whiskey.
"How about this?" she said with a laugh. "I broke my arm in my first race. We were leading and I fell off the horse. I had never broken any bones in my life up until the barn accident and this time."
Again, doubts about her career choice crept in.
"I saw it as a failure," she recalled. "It was disappointing. But Ron, he wouldn't hear of me questioning anything. He told me to heal up and he'd have horses waiting for me when I was back. That's all I needed to know. I told him I was going to come back."
Both Ryan and Grieves, Northlands Park's leading trainer in 2012, kept their word.
Two months later, at Northlands Park, Ryan, in her return, won aboard Circle of Time, a gelding trained by Grieves. She would finish the meet with three wins, two seconds, and one third from 23 mounts.
"I didn't say anything to her before the race," said Grieves. "She was so nervous that she would have forgotten whatever I had said. After the race, I just told her to never doubt herself, to have faith in what she can do. That's what you need in this sport. You have to stick with it. She had seriously thought about quitting after that first race. But she did nothing wrong. It happened. I'm just glad she didn't give up."
Ryan would soon set her sights on Woodbine.
"I wanted to try and see what I could do here," said Ryan, whose first mount at the Toronto oval came with Biddabudda for trainer Pat Parente, brother of her agent, Don Parente, a second-place finish on October 28. "I felt it was the right time."
The goal was to win her fourth career race, an important benchmark for an apprentice rider.
Jockey and agent determined she would stop race-riding if she were to win at Woodbine, in order to make full use of her apprentice allowance when she returns next season.
Ryan's allowance would drop from 10 pounds to five after her fifth win, and she would retain that five-pound allowance for one year with the prospect of an extension if she took another winter off.
Generally, Ontario Racing Commission stewards grant an extension when jockeys stop riding in order for them to maintain their weight allowance.
The moment when Ryan would make the decision to shut down for the rest of the campaign came sooner than anticipated.
"I won in my second start," recalled Ryan, of the score aboard Badon, for trainer Michael Doyle, on November 2. "I was really hoping for more experience at Woodbine. Don just laughed after the race and said, 'We were just starting to have fun here.'"
The fun will have to wait until next spring. Until then, Ryan will once again head to the Sunshine State to stay fit and be ready for the new season.
"I'm just really excited about what's ahead," said Ryan. "I'll work hard over the winter and be ready to go. I truly love being a jockey. I'm doing what I've always wanted to do."
Sheena Ryan isn't about to let anything change that.

Our New Blog - LWBcommunity
Hi everyone,
No, we didn't disappear off the face of the earth, but we have been working on a new blog that would combine both our Life of Giving blog and our LWB Stories blog, in order to create a community where people can discuss adoption, children, and making a difference in the world. We hope you will join us at www.lwbcommunity.org and join in the conversation! Today's blog is about older child adoption, and we'd love to hear your thoughts.
We are so grateful to everyone who had a Life of Giving widget on their own website or blog page. I would invite you to grab out new widget for LWBcommunity and switch them out. Our hope with the new blog is to encourage lots of discussion about the topics we hold dear.
Thank you for all of your support! See you on the other site!

New Mexico Tech Brings Together Investors and Inventors
By Thomas Guengerich
SOCORRO, N.M. – The New Mexico Tech management department is hosting three informal lectures designed to offer marketing advice to researchers.
Executives from three Albuquerque investment firms will approach the subject from different angles. The open forum discussions also aim to help scientists develop effective marketing presentations for the upcoming Technology Showcase.
Tom Stephenson, a managing general partner of the Verge Fund, will be at New Mexico Tech tomorrow (March 25) to talk about how scientists can best capitalize on their scientific breakthroughs.
Stephenson, whose company sponsors the yearlong Verge Fund Speaker Series, through Tech's Management Department, will discuss "What the technologist can expect when commercializing intellectual property" at 2 p.m. Wednesday, March 25.
Doug Lee, managing director of WESST Enterprise Center, will focus on what scientists can expect from investors and other service providers, especially in the start–up phase. He will discuss "Successful Entry Into and Exit From Incubators" at 11 a.m. Friday, March 27.
Lawrence Chavez of Flywheel Ventures will talk about "What Your Presentation Needs To Say About Your Market" at 2 p.m. Wednesday, April 1.
All three events will be in Speare 102 and are open to the campus community.
The three speakers were among the participants in the inaugural Technology Showcase at New Mexico Tech in September 2008. Seven researchers presented their marketing ideas at that event.
"These are members of our elite panel and they are very excited about Tech's potential," said Dr. Peter Anselmo, Chair of the Management Department and organizer of both the seminars and the Technology Showcase. "So they volunteered to come down and do the seminars to help the presenters to maximize their potential in attracting investors' interest for the next showcase."
Anselmo said the next Technology Showcase is tentatively scheduled for April 24. The Showcase and the three seminars are designed to build connections between technologists at New Mexico Tech and the venture capital and broader investment community.
"We want to build on the success of the first Technology Showcase from last fall," Stephenson said. "The next logical step is to provide opportunities for additional preparation and mentoring for the researchers who will stand up and talk about their technology."
Stephenson said he and his colleagues want to help bridge the traditional gap between inventors and investors to create market opportunities for both parties.

Baltimore's party season is off and running after getting its kickoff last night with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra gala, which many folks consider the unofficial start to the fall party season. The next three months may be the most intense time of year when it comes to the dozens of shindigs dedicated to raising money for a number of non-profit organizations.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A Montana judge who drew condemnation over his comments in a teacher-student rape case says he plans to retire at the end of the year.
District Judge Todd Baugh said Tuesday his decision had nothing to do with criticism over his courtroom assertion that the 14-year-old rape victim appeared "older than her chronological age."
Baugh later apologized for that and other remarks he made in the case. He also sought unsuccessfully to impose a longer sentence that the one-month term he originally handed down.
The 72-year-old judge is the son of former Washington Redskins quarterback Sammy Baugh. He says his 30 years on the bench were rewarding, and he looks forward to spending more time with his five grandchildren.
His retirement plans were first disclosed by Billings television station KTVQ.

Optimistic Chest Tattoo Indicates Credibility of Marketing Expert
Kevin Daum writes books about business and marketing. He is not a New York Times bestselling author. That did not stop him from getting "New York Times Best Seller" tattooed on his chest (backwards).
So he can look in the mirror and be motivated to shill harder!
"There's nothing else that allows me to walk in the door and say to my constituencies, 'I'm one of the best marketers in the world,'" he said.
He's got this tattoo, and nothing else. Don't let that stop you from buying this book full of marketing advice from Kevin Daum, the author of "Building Your Own Home for Dummies," a man who was "wiped out in the financial crisis."

Medical Science is not more a choice for financially weak students, no matter how bright he/she might be.
According to recent survey for joining a medical college in NEPAL, after completion of +2 requires not more than 50% in PCB. But he/she needs to pay off Rs. 35 LAKH Rupees UPFRONT during admission itself.
Yes, Rs. 35 Lakh (i.e. ard. 40K USD, 30K Pound, 31K EURO). That too downpayment. No Installment Scheme or semester wise. From Manipal, B.P. Dharan, IOM, NMC, KMC, BMC all charges from 30 Lakh to 35 Lakh per student for 5 years MBBS course (EXCLUDING lodging, books, food).
Thats why most students who are aiming to study MBBS are trying China, Bangladesh, Pakistan or even India for studies than Nepal.
MBBS in Nepal - Only for RICH !

A 45-year-old Colorado Springs man is facing charges of drunken horseback riding, animal cruelty and the prohibited use of weapons after University of Colorado police on Monday interrupted what he claimed was a 600-mile journey from Larkspur to Bryce, Utah, to attend a wedding.
Police began receiving calls about Patrick Neal Schumacher's unusual journey around 2:14 p.m., according to CU police spokesman Ryan Huff.
Witnesses said the man later identified as Schumacher and his horse were seen wandering into traffic while riding north on Broadway. They also reported seeing the rider repeatedly hit the horse near Broadway and Baseline Road; police sad the man struck the horse hard enough that it reared up on its hind legs.
CU police found the would-be cowboy and his horse, Dillon, on University Hill near Broadway and College Avenue.
According to a campus police, Schumacher was slumped over to the right and forcing people off the sidewalks. Officers asked him to dismount and gave him a roadside sobriety test, which Schumacher failed, police said.
Schumacher also had a dog — a pug named Bufford — in a backpack, and officers found a small black powder pistol and beer in one of his saddlebags.
According to CU police, when officers asked Schumacher about striking the horse, he told them he was smacking flies off Dillon's head.
Schumacher was arrested on suspicion of charges of animal cruelty, prohibited use of weapons and reckless endangerment, all misdemeanors, as well as riding a horse while under the influence of alcohol, a traffic infraction.
CU police said Schumacher told officers that he was on his way to his brother's wedding, attempting an approximately 600-mile trek to Utah. Schumacher said he'd previously lost his driver's license, so he decided to make the journey by horseback, according to police.
As for Dillon and Bufford, the animals have been impounded with the help of the Boulder Police Department Animal Control Unit, Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks, and the Humane Society of Boulder Valley.
Schumacher remained in custody at the Boulder County Jail on Monday night.

Can You Guess the Celebrity Cleavage?
Ahh, look at these delightful chest puppies, all wrapped up in a festive yellow dress. They belong to a singer-songwriter with a fun name to say, but can you guess who she is?
She debuted her first album in 2012, which had two number-one singles on it. In fact, these singles helped her become the artist with the most number-one singles on the UK Singles Chart in 2012. Color us impressed.
Before her album dropped, she released a lot of singles and even auditioned to be in the annual Eurovision Song Contest. On top of singing, she also does a bit of modeling and acting.
Can you guess who this British beauty is?

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – Freshman women's soccer student-athlete Ashley Veilleux (Monroe, Ga.) has been tabbed Georgia College Athlete of the Week for the second time in her short career, as announced by the Sports Information Department Tuesday afternoon.
Veilleux helped propel the Bobcats into the Peach Belt Conference (PBC) Tournament this past week with her brilliant performance against USC Aiken Wednesday, Oct. 26.
The rookie midfielder notched two goals on four shots, en route to a 6-0 victory for the 'Cats. She also managed another shot against Flagler College Saturday night.
Overall, Veilleux has accounted for a team-high five goals, as well as three assists giving her 13 points on the season.
She also captured GC Athlete of the Week honors back in September, making her the second two-time recipient of the award this year.
The women's soccer team will head to Savannah, Ga. today to take on the No. 1 seed Armstrong Pirates in the first round of the PBC Tournament. Be sure to catch all the action on http://www.ustream.tv/GCBobcats beginning at 1:50 p.m.

The Grand Bois M-13 racks now come in two versions: One for bikes with narrow clearances (usually for 700C tires) and one for bikes with wider clearances.
With this choice of two racks, it becomes much easier to fit your existing bike with a front rack, provided it has cantilever brakes.
The frontal view above shows the difference between the two versions best: The "narrow tire" rack (on the left) is for bikes with narrower fork crowns (and thus fork blades that are closer at the cantilever posts) and less tire clearance (distance from cantilever posts to fork crown). Remember that you can adjust the rack fit slightly by bending the diagonal supports.
The Grand Bois racks are fillet-brazed from steel tubing by Nitto, with many small details that make them nicer and more durable than Nitto's basic M-12 racks:
- Tabs brazed into slots where the rack connects to the cantilever posts instead of a welded-on plate with a hole.
- U-shaped loop for the fork crown connection instead of a single arm.
- Polished and chrome-plated instead of a matte finish.
- At 187 g, they are among the lightest racks available today.
The Grand Bois racks come with custom hardware. We especially like the bolts that replace the bolts of your cantilever brakes (center and top left). Instead of sandwiching the rack and brake on the same bolt, these bolts feature a smaller forward extension onto which the rack is mounted with a nut and lockwasher. This pretty much eliminates the risk of the bolt coming loose from the vibrations as you brake. There also is a domed nut to attach the rack to the fork crown, and a nut and leather washer to attach a front fender to the rack. The bolt on the lower left is for attaching a "hanging" Edelux headlight to the rack, if you want to equip your bike with lights. You also can attach other lights using a longer bolt and spacer that we sell separately.
Speaking of headlights, the light mount on the M-13 rack now is on the left side, which many riders prefer in countries where traffic drives and rides on the right. The light mount is positioned so that a "hanging" Edelux headlight bolts directly to the rack, without a spacer. This reduces the risk of the light coming loose from the vibrations of the road.
The first "hanging" Edelux lights had the wire exit on the right (above right), so they were ideal for mounting on the left side of the rack (as on the new Grand Bois M-13 racks). To make the lights more versatile, we asked Schmidt to have the wire exit in the center (above left), so they work on either side. For now, we offer both versions.
To go with these racks, Compass Bicycles now carry Gilles Berthoud handlebar bags. These bags are classics that have proven themselves over decades of hard use. My own Berthoud handlebar bag has been in almost daily use since 2000, yet it still remains waterproof and fully functional. Where synthetics often look shabby after a while, these bags acquire a beautiful patina.

The culinary program was definitely less about the food (not being British, kidneys and, you know, blood pudding isn't our thing) and more about the jolly fun and hilarious rapport between the two, yes, FAT, woman behind the counter. Wright's autobiography, Spilling the Beans, just hit the shelves but it's not going to be quite as jolly a tale as the Britishisms she drolled on Fat Ladies. Rather, Wright survived a brutal childhood in which her father named her after a pig, beat her, and made her eat carrots covered in slime. She pursued food as a way of defying his desire for her to be a doctor like him and though we still can't get the image of her massaging ground meat with long-taloned fingers out of out head, we're glad to hear this fat lady came out on top.

New Mexico Tech is Key Member in Energy Research Partnership, May 10, 2006
by George Zamora
SOCORRO, N.M., May 10, 2006 – The U.S. Department of Energy has announced the selection of a New Mexico Tech-led consortium to receive a ten-year contract to administer a nearly $500 million research program designed to develop technologies to make extraction of ultra-deepwater oil and gas resources, as well as unconventional onshore gas resources, economically viable.
The state-funded research university in Socorro is one of the founding members of the Research Partnership to Secure Energy for America (RPSEA), a non-profit corporation formed four years ago by a consortium of U.S. research universities, energy service companies, and independent research organizations.
In addition, New Mexico Tech President Daniel H. López serves as chairman of the RPSEA Board of Directors.
With possible matching funding from the oil and gas industry and other private sources, RPSEA could eventually manage a research and development program that approaches $1.5 billion in directed, appropriated, and matching spending.
New Mexico Tech, the state's premier institution in petroleum engineering education and research, is now an integral part of a nationwide collaborative research management effort to secure cutting-edge fossil energy development for our country. The national research consortium was formed largely in response to President Bush's longstanding directive to reduce America's dependence on foreign sources of oil.
RPSEA was established with the expressed mission of "competing for stewardship of federal and matching industry funds to compete the necessary research and development that results in reduced risk, reduced cost, and reduced time to recover additional hydrocarbons in America."
When the U.S. Congress passed the Energy Policy Act of 2005, RPSEA was already uniquely poised by virtue of its collective expertise and capabilities to begin administering some of the federal legislation's research initiatives, particularly those targeting the areas of deep and ultra-deep offshore drilling of oil and gas reservoirs and unconventional onshore natural gas resources.
"All of us at New Mexico Tech are, of course, very pleased to be involved with this monumental collaboration to secure a more cost-efficient, reliable, and clean energy future for our country," Tech President and RPSEA Chairman López said.
The research initiative that RPSEA will manage was established through a royalty trust fund created by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, in which money for the fund comes directly from federal oil and gas royalties paid for production on U.S. government lands.
"This comprehensive energy legislation that was passed last year was largely due to the efforts of New Mexico's own U.S. Senator Pete Domenici, along with the strong support of our other U.S. Senator, Jeff Bingaman," López pointed out.
As a concerted effort among its academic, government, and corporate members, RPSEA will oversee a massive research and development program which will incorporate the latest enabling technologies and methodologies for increasing domestic oil and gas production from ultra-deepwater resources, such as those found in the Gulf of Mexico, and from unconventional resources, such as tight sands, oil shale, and coal-bed methane found throughout the Western United States, including New Mexico's San Juan Basin.
DOE funding for research programs will be made available through RPSE and will be administered on a competitive, peer-reviewed basis, similar to guidelines used by other government research entities, such as the National Science Foundation.
"As the leading producer of petroleum engineers and petroleum technology in this state, and through its association with RPSEA, New Mexico Tech is uniquely positioned to directly impact the quality of education and research in this area of vital economic importance to our nation," López said.
"As a member of RPSEA, New Mexico Tech will be fully apprised of the most technologically sophisticated developments and advances in oil and natural gas recovery," López continued. "Furthermore, we will be directly involved in defining specific areas of research to secure our nation's energy future."
Under the provisions of last year's federal energy bill, New Mexico Tech's direct involvement with RPSEA does not preclude the research university — with its wealth of expertise and resources in oil and gas technology — from applying to the consortium for competitive-based funding for its own university based research programs.
"The new technology for exploring and garnering unconventional gas resources which will result from New Mexico Tech's efforts alone will mean cleaner and more reliable sources of energy available at a lower cost for all Americans," the New Mexico Tech President added. "With the concerted efforts of RPSEA, a broad range of new explorations will be made possible, helping move our nation away from our heavy dependence on imported fossil fuels, which are sometimes tenuously obtained from unstable sources."

Portion size
One thing I recognized early in the fight against my expanding waistline was that I ate way too much at meals.
How could I not? Have you seen the size of the portions you get at restaurants? And that's not even talking about that unique American contribution to cuisine, the "all-you-can-eat buffet."
Then take into account that it is rather difficult to make a meal for only two people (they have entire cookbooks dedicated to the problem). And it's really no wonder I find myself gorging until I'm so far past full it hurts.
It's fairly common knowledge that Americans stand pretty well alone in this habit of eating till it hurts, and that many other cultures do just fine with much smaller portions.
I recently read Michael Pollan's book, "In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto." And he refers to a couple very interesting studies dealing with this problem.
When the folks performing the first study asked people in France how they knew when to stop eating, they replied "when we're full."
When they asked Americans the same question, the reply they received was "when the plate is empty."
In another study some participants were given soup bowls that automatically refilled themselves from the bottom. The diners with the bottomless bowls ate substantially more.
These studies are not all that surprising. Our culture has long demanded that we "clean our plates." And in the feast-or-famine agrarian society that formed the code, it was logical.
But in our wondrous modern world where a never-ending supply of empty calories which go straight to our bellies are only a snack machine away, the rule doesn't make as much sense.
I have been making a concerted effort to eat less at meals. But it is a struggle.
Not only do I have to deal with the external forces of plate size, and the looks from meaningful family members who wonder if I'm starving myself. But I also have to deal with my inner demons, I'm one of those people who eat to comfort myself. If I'm stressed out, I want to eat.
I was surprised to find that I was sitting down to eat meals when I didn't feel hungry. And it came as quite a shock to realize I didn't know how to tell if I was really hungry or if it was just an emotional craving.
How could I learn to stop eating when full, if I couldn't even recognize when I got there?
My first step was to master the difference between physical and emotional hunger. Not to say that I never give in to the emotional hunger; I do, and much too often. But at least now I can usually recognize which is which.
The second move I've made is to reduce how much I eat. I take less and I try not to go for seconds.
Thirdly, I take longer to eat. Another interesting fact in Pollan's book is that it takes your stomach 20 minutes to signal your brain that you are full. So no more wolfing down a McDonald's combo meal (make it large) in 5 minutes.
My Beloved and I are trying to make our meals more of the social occasion they used to be. We talk. And we really try to savor the food. Really, what's the point in eating if you knock it back so fast you don't taste a thing? Might as well just hook yourself up intravenously.
It is a constant struggle, but I am making headway. Hopefully I will continue to have to punch new holes in my belt!

Nobody I've ever met likes abortion and considers it a moral good, although I'm sure there are a small number for whom it poses little if any moral quandary. Nobody I've ever met wants to weaken the institution of marriage, although I imagine there are a few hedonists who feel the world would be a better place if it resembled a Hugh Hefner pool party. Nobody I've ever met wants to deny the basic freedoms of speech, conscience, or religious faith, although most of us are more nervous about some people's speech, conscience, and faith than we are about others'.
But as I read and reread the statement released in November by prominent Christian leaders on the sanctity of life, "traditional" marriage, and religious freedom, I realize that its framers and signers must look out at the rest of us who didn't sign and wonder: What's wrong with them? Are they pro-abortion, anti-marriage, and anti-freedom? And sadly, that's a question that seldom gets asked or answered, because, by framing issues in an us-vs.-them way, declarations too seldom lead to dialogue.
If such a dialogue were to occur, the quarter-million-plus signers of the Manhattan Declaration would have the chance to learn some important things about the rest of us.
For starters, they would learn that many of us do in fact abhor abortion. But many of us do not believe that the best way to reduce it is to criminalize it. And even some who would favor criminalizing it do not believe that the approach of the Religious Right in recent decades is an approach we could support—whether on moral, political, or strategic grounds.

Health Law's 4th Birthday Divides Democrats, Unites GOP On Message
With the fourth anniversary of President Obama's signing of the Affordable Care Act this weekend, if you were a Democrat boasting about the health law, you were more than likely a party official or lawmaker with a seat so safe you could publicly celebrate the occasion.
Like Rep. Jan Schakowsky, an Illinois Democrat who in 2012 beat her Republican opponent by nearly 30 points, scheduling an enrollment event at a Chicago community college Saturday and inviting the news media.
It's the kind of event not recommended for the political health of Democrats representing districts that contain many more Republicans than hers, however.
Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers, and even GOP candidates not in Congress but hoping to get there, are observing the anniversary with events that underscore the long-running Republican message: The health law is causing more harm than good.
Frank Guinta, a former representative running for a House seat in New Hampshire, held a roundtable Friday, part of a series, to hear from health care providers about problems they allege the law created. His campaign Facebook page said the meeting was meant to highlight the health law's fourth anniversary over the weekend.
During this midterm election there were two distinct messaging approaches on the Democratic side: a full-throated embrace of the law from some and a more low key, barely audible and even missing message from at-risk lawmakers.
Speaking to a community health care conference in Washington, Vice President Biden spoke of the health care law as on par with Social Security and Medicare as monumental social legislation.
"And ladies and gentlemen, this is one of those experiences, and it sounds corny, that you're going to be talking about with your grandkids and great-grandkids, that you were part of putting in place," Biden said. "That's something that 20 years from now everyone's going to wonder: 'What's the big deal? What's the big deal?
" 'Doesn't everybody — didn't every country do this?' " Biden said.
Republican officials, however, at a Friday teleconference, were definitely making a big deal of the anniversary.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus couldn't stifle laughter when he said: "I think it's safe to say that Democrats are going to want to ignore this anniversary. I would be curious to know how many Democrats are out there Sunday celebrating the anniversary in their districts because they don't want to run on Obamacare in the fall?"
For what it's worth, even Democratic leaders who have repeatedly touted the health law in their public statements — like Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, the House minority leader, and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schulz, the Democratic National Committee chairwoman — as of Friday didn't much take note of the fourth anniversary on their official websites.

The USDA will make payments to more than 160 energy producers in 41 states to support the production and expansion of advanced biofuels, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said today.
The payments are authorized under the Bioenergy Program for Advanced Biofuels (www.rurdev.usda.gov/BCP_Biofuels.html), which is part of the 2008 Farm Bill. Payments are based on the amount of biofuels a recipient produces from renewable biomass other than corn kernel starch. Biofuels made from cellulose, crop residue and animal wastes are among the eligible feedstocks.
"Renewable energy production will create tens of thousands of direct American jobs; thousands more indirect jobs; and clean electricity to power millions of homes," Vilsack said. The payments represent the Obama administration's continuing commitment to work with producers to provide the biofuel necessary to reduce America's dependence on foreign energy sources, Vilsack said.

The ego isn't the enemy, it just needs guidance from the self to learn how to connect with the source. Then all will be ok. Well, mostly, and through continuous management. The reason why the ego resists input so much it's because it needs to first wipe out all formed foundations and rigid opinions that makes it feel so sure and offers so much security. I remember being torn apart from the inside out. Bleeding from places I couldn't bandage, broken spaces that couldn't be physically repaired.

AIKEN, S.C. – The No. 29 Georgia College men's tennis squad (10-7, 4-5 PBC) won its third-consecutive Peach Belt Conference (PBC) match Saturday afternoon, defeating No. 33 USC Aiken (8-7, 1-7 PBC) 6-0. The victory clinches a spot in the PBC Tournament for the Bobcats.
The Bobcats quickly swept through the doubles portion of the match, picking up wins at each spot to take the overwhelming lead heading to singles.
The top duo of No. 9 Jerome Leborgne (Coordimanche, France) and Johan Wadstein (Helisngborg, Sweden) battled to a 9-7 win over No. 24 Patrick Stiebinger and Nathan Berlyn. The win gives the nationally-ranked pair a 12-5 record for the year.
At the second doubles position Tyler Franks (Greensboro, Ga.) and Kasper Konyves (Helsingborg, Sweden) were in control throughout an 8-5 victory over Bruno Orlandini and Harrison Silvy. The win improves the duo to 7-7 on the season.
Wictor Andersson (Karlskoga, Sweden) and Leo Bernardes (Sao Paulo, Brazil) had a tough match at the final doubles slot, but prevailed 9-8 against Lucas Gobbi and Guilherme Destefani. Andersson and Bernardes extended their win streak to five, giving them a 12-5 overall record on the year.
No. 24 Leborgne was forced to put together a comeback in his top singles match against Destefani, defeating the Pacer 2-6, 6-3, 6-1.
At the second singles position, Wadstein would pick up the victory for the 'Cats in much easier fashion topping Stiebinger in straight-sets 6-4, 6-4.
The match-clinching victory came from Bernardes at the third slot, downing Orlandini 7-6, 6-0.
GC has one match left on the schedule, a non-conference bout at No. 5 Valdosta State University Tuesday, April 17 at 4 p.m.

My SJF grant allowed me to participate in an unpaid internship at the U.S. Congress. For eight weeks I interned on Capitol Hill with Congressman Wayne Gilchrest's office. During that time I contributed to the office by giving Capitol Tours, attending legislative hearings and mark-ups, preparing memorandums for the Congressman's use, and responding to constituent correspondence. I was also fortunate enough to attend an intern lecture series that included speakers like former Secretary of State Colin Powell and former presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich.
My Capitol Hill experience allowed me to participate in the daily grind of federal policymaking and, in doing so, I was able to apply my "book knowledge" and gain some practical experience in the legislative process. From this experience I was able to network and make valuable connections that I hope will be of value to my resume and future in the political world.

John Kerry's Wife Leaves Boston Rehab Hospital
The wife of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has walked out of a Boston rehabilitation hospital after successful treatment for a seizure she experienced earlier this month.
State Department spokesman Glen Johnson said Saturday that doctors expect 74-year-old Teresa Heinz Kerry to complete her recovery at home after some out-patient treatment. She suffered a seizure at the couple's home in Nantucket on July 7.
Johnson previously said the cause of the seizure had not been determined but doctors had ruled out a brain tumor, heart attack or stroke.
Kerry thanked members of the State Department Diplomatic Security Service who first responded when his wife fell ill. She was transferred to two hospitals and ultimately to Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital for recovery.
The family does not plan to additional comment.
