90 mile week on #Whole30
Warning: This post is more about food than trail running…although I do think the two are inseparable. Without proper fuel, our bodies can't perform at their best. And I've experienced this exact thing over the past several weeks. I just finished my first 90 mile training week and am truly amazed at how good I feel. I know a lot of my blog readers are interested in performance and doing well in running and in life, so I wanted to share a big life change that has made a huge difference in my running and my life.
On March 10, I woke up with an overwhelming urge to CHANGE SOMETHING. I had been reading about the #Whole30 on Twitter and a friend at work shared a blog post with me. I had read a lot about Paleo and this sounded similar. I was intrigued. I was extremely open to a restart or a detox or whatever you want to call it. I was excited to learn something new. That morning I read through the #Whole30 website, downloaded the book, It Starts With Food, and decided to venture into a #Whole30 eating commitment (I read this word somewhere – I like "commitment" instead of "diet". It's empowering and speaks to honoring and making a commitment to myself.). My refrigerator was full of "good" food I didn't want to trash (homemade lentil soup, hummus, oatmeal, etc.), so I started that first week with no alcohol, no sugar and no dairy while I finished off the grains and legumes in my fridge. I officially started the #Whole30 eating commitment on Sunday, March 17. Today is Day 14 of eating mindfully and eliminating all alcohol, sugars, grains, legumes and dairy. It is Day 14 of eating wonderfully prepared meals full of vegetables, fruits, lean, grass-fed meats and lots of yummy fats like coconut oil, clarified butter, ghee and olive oil. It is a huge commitment, but as the book says, this is not hard. "Quitting heroin is hard. Beating cancer is hard. Birthing a baby is hard….It's only for 30 days, and it's for the most important health cause on earth – the only physical body you will ever have in your lifetime." So while it's been challenging, it has not been hard. And it's been a lot of fun!
Here are just a few of the changes I've experienced in only 14 days of eating whole, clean, good foods:
-I've had shoulder/arm pain for over a year. Acupuncture didn't help and my regular doctor said it was tendonitis from the repetitive motion of running. (an arm injury from running…seriously?) I had pretty much resigned myself to pain getting in and out of my sports bra, pain while writing on an easel in my job as a kindergarten teacher, pain on long runs, and the inability to do push-ups or other arm weight workouts. I woke up last week and the pain was GONE. Completely gone. It hasn't returned, despite a 50K and a 90 mile training week! I'm certain the pain was caused by inflammation due to a grain, dairy or sugar intolerance. Whatever the cause, I am just thrilled that I can do my push-ups again and am in NO pain.
-I've had eczema all of my life. It's on my hands and can be a real problem, sometimes reaching the point where I would need a steroid IV to get it under control. It is now completely gone. My hands are in great shape and this alone is worth never having a cupcake again.
-I've had issues with blood sugar since I was a kid. I used to go through my day with lows and highs – intense food cravings an hour or two after that bowl of oatmeal for breakfast…NEEDING my sugar fix mid-afternoon, feeling shaky and like I was going to pass out frequently through long runs and everyday life. These feelings are GONE. I have a steady feeling of energy and have not experienced the lows and/or highs at all. This has been amazing in my long runs. The HAT 50K was one of my best runs with no dips in energy and no shakiness at all. I fueled that run on homemade gu (sweet potato baby food, coconut milk and applesauce), bananas, and Peter Rabbit Organic fruit packets.
I am also sleeping better and waking before the alarm clock. The #Whole30 plan asks you not to weigh yourself, but I do know my clothes are fitting a whole lot looser. I am cooking WAY more than ever before and trying new foods and recipes. An evening of playing around with food as I prepare dinner and lunch for the next day has pleasantly replaced an evening of having a beer or two on the couch. I am mindful of what I eat and am enjoying food so much more. My head is clearer, my body is stronger and I am overall a lot happier. I'm looking forward to the next two weeks on the #Whole30 and to a future of Paleo, healthy, whole & clean food eating!
I had a lot of questions about this before I started. Perhaps you do too. I would recommend reading over the website and searching the #Whole30 hashtag on Twitter. If you want the answers to "WHY no sugar/grains (but oatmeal is GOOD for you!)/legumes (peanut butter?!?!)/dairy????" then read the book, It Starts With Food. The authors do an excellent job explaining all of this. I can't begin to explain it here. I can only share the remarkable results that I've had. And we're all an experiment of one, yes? Happy eating!

Product Description
Marriage is great, but it's not forever. It's until death do us part. Then come eternal rewards or regrets depending on how we spent our lives. In his latest book, Francis Chan joins together with his wife Lisa to address the question many couples wonder at the altar: How do I have a healthy marriage?
Setting aside typical topics on marriage, Francis and Lisa dive into Scripture to understand what it means to have a relationship that satisfies the deepest parts of our souls. In the same way Crazy Love changed the way we saw our personal relationship with God, You and Me Forever: Marriage in Light of Eternity will radically shift the way we see one of the most important relationships in our life.
Jesus was right. We have it all backwards. The way to have a great marriage is by not focusing on marriage. Whether you are single, dating or married, You and Me Forever will help you discover the adventure that you were made for and learn how to thrive in it. 100% of the net profits from You and Me Forever: Marriage in Light of Eternity will go towards providing food, shelter and rehabilitation for thousands of orphaned children and exploited women in partnership with global charities.

I have been coming to Integrative Sports and Wellness and love it. I have seen everyone from spine surgeons, physical therapists, and other muscle specialists and none of them have really been able to help me or lead me in the right direction. In just the few first weeks i went here my activity level completely changed and I can now play golf again pain free the way that i have always wanted to. I can play 18 holes now when i could only play 12-13 holes before my back completely gave out. I love the Kinesio Tape that Dr. Russ puts on my back. In fact that first week I was able to play 36 holes in 2 days and my back was barely even sore after my round. Treatments are definitely helping me! I look forward to the rest of my treatment plan. Thanks for giving my life back. Jake R. Lakeway Tx

And As A Trimble Outdoors User Council Member...
For you my ever growing band of faithful followers (and you know who you are) this is the beginning of hopefully a very long and communicative relationship with the owners, developers and support people of a cutting edge company. It has always been my intent to do honest, straight shooting reviews and tutorials about any product I can get my hands on. Being on the council to Trimble Outdoors or any other company will not sway that - EVER. What this WILL do is allow you, my readers, to voice what is on your mind about a given product so I can send those thoughts directly to the right people. Straight feedback where it counts and you know that you can't beat an opportunity like that with a stick. What else?
With Trimble Outdoors I get access to all the "goodies" where I can take my time and do reviews and tutorials the way they should be, no fluff, some laughs and presented as they are being used while they are being used out in the wild. Again you have the ability to bring up situations and conditions that you would want to have tested. I'll show you what happens, good, bad and indifferent. The point is you now have a say but it is up to you to email me your thoughts and ideas. firstname.lastname@example.com
The other very exciting opportunities will be to work on products in development. Get a birds eye view of what is coming out in future releases. Now I can't promise you everything but what I can do is let you know all that I am allowed to tell. You now have a front row seat with Trimble Outdoors products so be sure to keep tuned to my blog on a regular basis and send those comments, ideas and suggestions in. GeoCache: I'm NOT Obsessed...

Off-Site Exhibition
Contemporary photography encompasses a diverse range of
practices, from digital imaging to the analog processes
of the 19th century. In this exhibition, we reconnect
viewers with the beauty of analog photography, as seen through the lens of Bay
Area artists.
A camera, whether digital or film, is essentially a sealed
container that allows light to enter through a controlled opening, or aperture. The aperture spreads or defracts the light as it passes through,
forming an image on light-sensitive sensors, film, or paper, depending on the
type of camera being used. This basic process is the genesis of every
The arrival of the first digital camera in the mid-1970s
ushered in an era of technological advances, which continue today. While these
developments have made taking photographs easier, more accessible, cheaper, and
instantaneous, it has changed the process of image making.
However, the physical, tactile, and
magical experience of savoring the photographic moment inherent in an analog or
film-based practice still holds its appeal, especially for many contemporary artists.
There is not one methodology that is right or wrong when
artists choose a particular medium over another. They use different tools that
inherently present different results. The artists in this exhibition have
chosen to work within the realm of analog photography. It allows them to realize and express
their own visions. We hope that you will slow down and immerse yourself in
these unique images, and find inspiration in the investment of time and care
that it took to create them.

[Disclosure: This is a sponsored post. I am participating in a social shopper insights study for Collective Bias and their client, Sally Hansen.]
Ready for some instant nail art? Sally Hansen's latest collection of Fuzzy Coat polishes follow the uber popular textured nail trend and feature an assortment of shades perfect for what's left of the summer season. Each one gives the effect of textural woven fabrics. Take a peek:
The awesome texture and color combinations create fun and fashion-forward looks with no overwhelming techniques required. A few of these (like Tweedy) will also translate into Fall trends and a handful are classic neutrals (like Wool-lite) that would work year round. I scooped up a few of my favs earlier today (Walgreens is having a sale, y'all!) and whipped up a quick dimensional mani in minutes. (By the way,Walgreens is running another sale the week of the 18th! Two fuzzy polishes for $10. Can't go wrong!)
My top pick of the bunch is Fuzz-Sea, a multidimensional mix of aqua and lime green. I love the fusion of the coordinated colors because it's like my work is already done for me in the bottle!
Step 1: Apply one thin, even coat of Sally Hansen Fuzzy Coat Polish. Let dry.
Step 2: To really play up the texture, I patted the second layer using a tapping motion rather than sleek strokes. This will add to the dimensional effect of the polish.
Step 3: Seal with a thin, even coat.
And voila! You have a unique summery manicure that took minimal effort – no artistic ability required. Summertime and the living's easy! Of course, you can mix it up by applying a solid base coat, adding a layer of a different fuzzy polish shade, etc. The possibilities are endless!

A Whole New Blue
OK, baseball fans. Opening Day is in the bag. Some teams won and some teams lost. With all of the amazing things that happened over these past three days, something incredibly special went on at Dodger Stadium during the Dodgers' home opener against the San Francisco Giants. You already know the stats. Kershaw vs. Cain. Both were dominant, but ultimately it was Kershaw who emerged the victor.
He did it in a pretty spectacular fashion as well, throwing a complete game shutout while only allowing four hits. Yet, merely going the distance wasn't enough for Clayton Kershaw. With his team still tied in the bottom of the eighth, Kershaw became the first pitcher since 1953 to throw a complete game shutout and hit a home run on Opening Day. He also became the first Dodgers' pitcher to hit an Opening Day homer at Dodger stadium since Don Drysdale. Not to mention it was the first homer of his career.
Now, all of this is incredible and made me happy beyond belief, but none of these amazing feats of Clayton Kershaw and his Dodgers are what were so special about the Dodgers' home opener. The special part was the overwhelming symbolism of the Dodgers' victory.
Dodgers fans have found a reinvigorated sense of enthusiasm and hope for 2013. There's a new ownership in town, and with them they've brought a new excitement. They want to prove to the fan base that this is the Dodgers' time. They've upgraded the stadium to the tune of more than 100 million dollars in renovations, rallied the support of the Los Angeles community, won over past Dodgers greats who've distanced themselves from the organization and announced themselves to the Baseball world by overhauling the lineup in the offseason. They even brought the greatest left-handed pitcher in Dodgers history, Sandy Koufax, back into the fold and had him throw out the ceremonial first-pitch. New owners, new season, new(ish) stadium, new Dodgers.
It was only fitting that the Dodgers opened up their season against their historic rivals, the Giants. The Dodgers and Giants' rivalry is one of the most storied in all of sports. The fact that the Giants have won two rings in three years and have the reigning NL MVP Buster Posey on their team elevates things to a whole new level. We've been left in the dust and the Giants have basked in sunlight of immortality.
It has been a bitter pill for Dodgers fans to swallow this past year; but this isn't last year. This is a new season full of new hope and expectations. For Kershaw to pitch the way he did and shutdown the Giants on opening day in front of a sellout crowd leading the brand new Dodgers to victory, is historical. It's symbolic. The fact that he accomplished this in the same game that Sandy Koufax threw out the first pitch is legendary. He created a rallying point for the Dodgers to spring from. There was magic in the air on that Monday afternoon at Dodger Stadium. Not only did Kershaw shut down the Giants' offense, he dealt a blow to their pitching by hitting a go-ahead home run. He also struck out Buster Posey with runners in scoring position to end an inning. This wasn't just a win, Dodgers fans. This was a statement.
It's a "Whole New Blue."

America Ferrera, whose character Betty Suarez works at Mode in the hit ABC television series, presented the award to Syracuse resident Sean Cunningham, who won first prize for his 60-second film, Discover a Different New York. The event took place on the set of Ugly Betty, which films at Silvercup Studios in Long Island City.
"We created this competition to help people see that New York is more than just home to the greatest city in the world, but also a truly dynamic and beautiful state," said Thomas Ranese, chief marketing officer for ESD.
Cunningham's film does just that, as it opens with a college graduate (played by Michael Parish) celebrating his achievement. When he announces that he will be moving to New York, a relative notes that New York is a pretty big city, but when the graduate arrives, he finds a state full of natural wonders and not just concrete and yellow cabs.
"We filmed at about 10 to 15 locations across the state, and then used six for the film," said Cunningham of his award-winning short.
Cunningham's film was the overall winner, but nine other awards were given out in categories broken down by region and age. Filmmakers over the age of 14, regardless of previous movie-making experience, were invited to participate. (Shane Miller)

(May 25, 2016) – The New York Red Bulls U-23 lost 2-1 in a hard fought game on Wednesday night against the Baltimore Bohemians. The Red Bulls controlled the opening 45 minutes, but could not put one past Bohemians goalkeeper Chris Fenner. Both keepers had their backlines very organized in the opening half, which ended 0-0. The pace picked up in the second half when Baltimore Midfielder Malcolm Harris played a through ball over the top to striker Jamie Merriam while the Red Bulls were pressing high up the field. Merriam went one-on-one with Red Bulls keeper Eric Klenofsky and slotted the ball in the bottom corner. Eleven minutes later, Red Bulls U-23 responded with a goal to level the match, 1-1. Second half substitute Sevag Kherlopian jumped on a loose ball in the box that was played in from the right side by Jared Stroud. Stroud's low cross found its way to the feet of Kherlopian who wasted no time putting it in the back of the net. The goals came in a flurry as Merriam scored his second of the game just two minutes later to give Baltimore a 2-1 lead, on a cross from the right flank by midfielder Cormac Noel. Baltimore's Kevin Fallet received two yellow cards in the 83rd and 85th minute, reducing the Bohemians to 10-men down the stretch, but the visitors held on for the road win.

Despite an Interscope deal worth $6 million, Chief Keef reportedly hasn't gotten around to paying his rent.
TMZ reports that the landlord renting out a mansion to Keef is suing him for almost $10,000 in back rent.
Georghe Simoniak-Sas filed a suit against Keef and the rapper's uncle, claiming that Keef hasn't paid rent for the months of July or August ($4,700 per month) on the Illinois mansion he's renting.
Georghe is suing for eviction and to collect the $9,400 owed.
The mansion is 5,100 square feet, has 6 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, and is valued at over $1 million.
Chief Keef has been subject to several lawsuits this year, including a $75,000 suit for missing a show, and was sued by a middle schooler over child support.

Romania: 1914
Romania joined the First World War, on the Allied side, at the end of August 1916. At the end of the war it emerged victorious and had added Transylvania, Bessarabia, Bukovina and two thirds of the Banat to its territory. This extract comes from Hannah Pakula's biography of the life of Marie, Queen of Romania, who was a grand-daughter of Queen Victoria.
During the early stages of the war there was little change in the conditions of life in Roumania. The harvests of 1914 and 1915 yielded excellent crops that sold at very high prices; Bucharest was a speculator's paradise where the Central Powers and the Entente both threw away huge sums of money trying to keep supplies away from the other side. Along with the speculators the boyars [aristocrats and land owners] made fortunes, but as always the peasants remained outside the charmed circle of profit. To improve their lot, they tried to drive their cattle across the Carpathian Mountains to sell them in the Austro-Hungarian Empire at inflated wartime prices, but they were soon stopped by the government. Meat rationing was enacted, and meat was allowed to be sold in markets and restaurants only four days a week… During the days of neutrality, Bucharest resembled nothing so much as a giant Oriental bazaar, patronized by everyone from Eastern or Western Europe with something to sell. Then local black market dealt indiscriminately in commodities and loyalties, and it was frequented with equal enthusiasm by representatives of both the Entente and the Central powers.

A new law combined with higher energy costs and greater concern for the environment makes wind energy an increasingly attractive option for cities and towns.
When Hull Wind I started spinning in December 2001, the 165-foot wind turbine was a bold addition to the landscape.
But more striking was the effect on the town's image: Hull became a visionary, a model of what a commitment to cleaner, cheaper energy looks like.
Richard Miller, the town's operations manager, says he gets four or five calls a week from towns all over the country. "They all want to know how we did it," he said.
Some of those questions are coming from Hull's neighbors on the other South Shore, where slowly but surely, a mix of public and private interest is driving investment in wind power.
Since 2004, dozens of communities across the state have dangled a toe in the wind energy water. At last count, there were 25 proposed turbines in 13 towns on the South Shore. Plymouth leads the way, with two town initiatives, one county proposal and four from private companies.
"(Turbines) aren't springing up overnight, but they're coming," said Kingston Selectman Mark Beaton, who sits on the town's Green Energy Committee. "A small revolution is swelling up."
Projects in Quincy, Cohasset, Marshfield, Scituate, and Hanover are likely a year or less away from reality, say their developers. At least three other towns have axed their plans, citing a lack of funding, a lack of political will, or in the case of a proposed turbine at Whitman-Hanson High School, a lack of wind.
Most plans are somewhere in the middle of the bureaucratic timeline of site survey, wind testing, public forums, city council approval, zoning board permits, and negotiations with design and construction firms.
Better wind technology, soaring energy prices, growing environmental concerns, and a new state law are sparking renewed interest in the ultimate in clean-green power.
Electricity prices have doubled in the past decade. At the same time, the power-generating ability of turbines has increased.
"Municipalities are realizing that we've got to change our act, and that there are better and better ways of powering our towns," Beaton said.
Gov. Deval Patrick signed the Green Communities Act into law on July 2. It allows owners of wind turbines to sell their surplus electricity back to the power grid.
Towns can also receive credits that they can use to power municipal buildings such as schools, fire and police stations, and town halls. "Investing in wind power is suddenly much more attractive," said Andrew Brydges, a consultant with KEMA Inc., which has worked on the Kingston turbine plan.
But even with the legislative push, progress is slow. At least a year's worth of wind speed data is needed to justify building a turbine. Grant money is available from the state, but town and city officials have to approve the application. Deciding who pays up front for the turbines – which run between $1 and $4 million, depending on size and capacity – who owns and operates them, and who gets the surplus power can be tricky. And most zoning bylaws, decades old, do not clearly spell out how to handle emerging wind technology.
"There's a lot legwork and a lot of paperwork involved," Beaton said. "It's definitely a process.
And then there's the job of actually getting the turbine, most of which are built overseas. Several towns reported wait times of eight months to two years.
"It's to the point where just getting on a waiting list is tough," said John Birtwell, public information director for Plymouth County Sheriff's office, which has plans to build a turbine at the county jail.
But even with the bureaucratic bottleneck and backordered turbines, there's a stiff wind, and it's only blowing in one direction.
"We're only going to see more and more of these projects," said James Sweeney, whose Plymouth-based energy company, CCI Energy, has contracts to build turbines in Cohasset and Marshfield. "That's where the legislation is going and that's where the interest is."
HOW IT WORKSThe wind turns the blades of the turbine around a rotor. The rotor is attached to a shaft which spins a generator. Inside the generator, coils of copper wire spin inside magnets. The magnetic force pushes electrons out of their shells in the copper wire, resulting in a flow of electrons. Moving electrons are called electricity. WIND POWER ON THE SOUTH SHORE
There are currently only two working wind turbines on the South Shore, plus one in Dorchester and another at Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But there are more than a dozen proposals in various stages of development. From the four offshore turbines being proposed in Hull to seven different proposed turbines in Plymouth, wind energy is the hot topic among town planners.
The Massachusetts Technology Collaborative is backing wind energy projects across the state. On the South Shore alone, the collaborative has doled out almost $3.7 million in 20 grants. The money comes from a surcharge on retail energy – about a penny for every 20 kilowatt-hours. A sampling of the local projects:
The Bank of Canton received $40,000 to put up a 160-foot tower to test wind speeds at its Turnpike Street branch.
Hull got $1.7 million for its proposal to build four turbines on a shoal about 1.5 miles off Nantasket Beach. The turbines would have about five times the combined capacity of Hull Wind I and II.
In Quincy, the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority received $26,000 for a feasibility study, then $500,000 to go toward design and construction of a 328-foot wind turbine on Nut Island.
Hanover got $250,000 for a turbine at its Pond Street wastewater treatment plant.
A few local wind turbine projects have been stalled or abandoned completely, either for lack of funding, lack of political will or lack of wind.
The Whitman-Hanson school district axed plans for a 160-foot turbine when a test tower showed there isn't enough wind to power it, Superintendent John McEwan said.
State plans for a turbine in the Blue Hills Reservation in Milton stalled out a year ago, said Steven Clark, a spokesman for the office of Energy and Environmental Affairs.
A request from the Weymouth town council to explore wind speeds at the South Weymouth Naval Air Base was shot down by the base developer, which is planning a massive residential and commercial complex.

Love and partnership
In your relationship you feel more and more that it is getting boring. Both of you basically go your own ways and at the most you are meeting up shortly before going to bed for a little chit-chat, which certainly doesn't reduce the feeling of being lonely. The only thing that helps is: talk, talk, talk! If need be, let go of old problems, start afresh and discover long forgotten attractions, which once brought your partner and you together.

DWTS 12 – DWTS Alumni & Pros, Stevie Nicks, Pitbull Featuring Ne-Yo To Perform On Dancing With The Stars
Along with our 4 remaining couples competing for the semi-finals where they will perform three dances, previous Season Champions, Stevie Nicks, and Pitbull Featuring Ne-Yo will be performing. More details below and at ABC Medianet. This is getting even more exciting as we inch closer to Monday and Tuesday nights. Who's ready?
"Episode 1209" – The competition is closer than ever as the four remaining pairs perform three pressure packed routines — one ballroom and one Latin dance they've not yet done, and one winner-takes-all Cha Cha — for the chance to make it to the Season 12 finals, on "Dancing with the Stars," MONDAY, MAY 16 (8:00-10:01 p.m., ET/PT), on the ABC Television Network.
Tuesday's exciting two-hours of dance begin with "Dancing with the Stars Live: Freestyle Special," in which "DWTS" alums Apolo Anton Ohno (Season 4 champion), Donnie Osmond (Season 9 champion), Warren Sapp (Season 7 finalist) return to the ballroom to provide color commentary on their memorable individual freestyle routines. In addition, "DWTS" pros and the dance troupe perform two medleys to some of the best music from past freestyles. Season 2 winners Drew Lachey and Cheryl Burke will also be back to perform their fan favorite freestyle, "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy," on "Dancing with the Stars Live: Freestyle Special," TUESDAY, MAY 10 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET).
Then, on "Dancing with the Stars the Results Show: Episode 1209A," TUESDAY, MAY 17, (9:00-10:01 p.m., ET), one semifinalist couple will leave the ballroom and the three Season 12 finalist couples will be determined. On this action packed Results show, guest musical artist, Grammy Award-winning and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Stevie Nicks performs two songs, the iconic "Landslide," accompanied by Tony and Cheryl on the dance floor, and the new single "Secret Love" from "In Your Dreams" — her first new CD in over a decade — accompanied by Dmitry, Anna, Peta and Damian on the dance floor. Also this Tuesday, music sensation Pitbull featuring Ne-Yo and Nayer perform his single, "Give Me Everything," from his newest album, "Planet Pit."
This week's powerful "Spotlight Segment" features the moment of a lifetime for 13-year-old Tayla Kelley, as she performs to "Bulletproof" with "DWTS" pros Lacey Schwimmer and Chelsie Hightower. Born with Primary Immune Deficiency Disease, the Rochester native has spent her entire childhood unable to fight infection, which has led to multiple surgeries, organ failure and shortened life expectancy. Despite these insurmountable odds, Kelley has found inspiration and strength to fight this severe, chronic illness through dance since age 2, and was recently recruited by the Timothy M. Draper School of Dance the training school for the Rochester city Ballet.
I can't wait to see Damian Whitewood again!!

Indigenous immigrants to be counted for first timeTuesday, January 5th, 2010
Indigenous immigrants — Native Americans from Central America and Mexico — will be counted for the first time on the 2010 Census.
ABC News has the full story from the Associated Press, which reports that these immigrants often need to check multiple boxes to describe their background. Language barriers and a lack of trust in the government are also obstacles:
The Census Bureau wants to change that in the 2010 count as it tallies immigrant indigenous groups for the first time ever, hoping to get a more complete snapshot of a growing segment of the immigrant population.
In the 2010 Census, the bureau will tabulate handwritten entries specifying that the respondent belongs to a Central American indigenous group such Maya, Nahua, Mixtec, or Purepecha. The list of different populations that end up being counted will be made public when results are released in 2011, said Michele Lowe, spokeswoman for the Census Bureau.
"We're always striving to present an accurate portrait of the American people, and this is part of that effort," said Lowe.
An accurate count is important to the indigenous groups themselves, and to the federal government, which allocates resources to state and local government according to the results.
The U.S. Department of Labor estimates indigenous migrants make up about 17 percent of the country's farm workers, and may represent up to 30 percent of California's farm worker population. Florida also has a large indigenous immigrant population.

Nearly two dozen tractor trailers remained stranded along U.S. Highway 41 in Lake Bluff, north of Chicago, on Tuesday morning because of flooding.
The high standing water prompted officials to close U.S. 41 from Route 137 to West Deerpath Road. Additionally, Lake Bluff School District 65 officials canceled classes because of the flooding.
Just north of Route 176, water nearly touched the bottom of a railroad overpass with a sign indicating the clearance was 14 feet, 2 inches. Several passenger vehicles that had been stranded were able to turn around, but several tractor-trailers remained as of 5:00 a.m.
"Some of the cars were stuck in between the trucks and everything. They didn't have any idea that they could move around the frontage road over by the Rockland Office Plaza. So I helped them by basically walking them through the frontage road, around the way, so they could do a U-turn onto 176 to get to [Route] 43 and head north," said Brian Hirvela, who lives nearby.
Hirvela said a police officer at 1 a.m. told him it would take about 12 hours for the water to recede, and though Hirvela said flooding in the area is fairly common, Tuesday's high waters were the worst he'd seen in the eight years he's lived in the area.
"All of the other times it's actually been fairly low to some point," he said as rain continued to fall, adding that it's unknown if any vehicles were under the water.
"I don't want to give any panic or anything like that but it's literally covered and we don't know if anything got stuck," he said.
Drivers in some places along Route 41 chose to abandon their vehicles. Firefighters from Knollwood rescued at least six people from their cars and at least one person from a home because of the rising water.
In Gurnee, Route 132 from O'Plaine Road to Greanleaf Avenue was impassable until about 6:15 a.m. due to water. In Des Plaines, several streets along the Des Plaines River had standing water, including high waters along Camp Ground Road at Miner Street. Route 137 in Grayslake was closed east of Atkinson Road, officials said.
As of midday Tuesday, 4.06 inches of rain was recorded in Lake Bluff. Hebron recorded 3.82 inches, Glencoe recorded 3.56 inches and Lake Forest recorded 3.3 inches.

A Case Study of Branding and Identity Struggles in a Low-Prestige OrganizationFrandsen, Sanne (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This dissertation examines the relationship between corporate branding and identity work at organizational and individual levels in the context of a lowprestige corporation. It is based on 17 months of research undertaken as an inhouse ethnographer at MGP, a European based national telecommunication corporation. The study seeks to contribute to integrated corporate branding theory by adopting a critical perspective on the intra-organizational affects of brands and branding. The dissertation contains three papers, each of which contributes to discussions within corporate branding, organizational identity and identification, as well as to literature on management control and employee resistance. The findings demonstrate that the management adopts integrated corporate branding in a hypocritical manner, while employees in response develop a cynical distance to their work. While this may be interpreted as negative consequences, the dissertation argues that these are productive and have certain advantages for the management in the given context. Thus, the findings challenge the integrated corporate branding ideal of coherence between the external and internal dimensions of corporate branding as the only productive way to create a successful corporate brand.

Tooling by Design
Slide Tipping Moments
When the working forces in a die are not distributed evenly across the press slide, the slide will tip and move laterally in the direction of the greatest force. If this movement occurs with the punches engaged with other die components, excessive wear or damage may occur. Die wear increases die-maintenance costs and compromises dimensional consistency of the stampings being produced.
Stampers must assess and address slide tipping—sometimes called tipping moments—during the process-layout and die-design phases of a project. Unfortunately, many tooling engineers and die-process engineers do not fully understand the impact of off-center loading on part quality and die life. As a result, many dies are designed, manufactured and installed in presses without any consideration given to centering the load.
The Causes
Progressive and transfer dies produce many types of stamped parts. Consolidation of multiple parts into a single stamping and down-gauging material thickness to reduce component weight increases part complexity. This complexity often requires dies with a greater number of process steps, which increases die length. As a result, distributing die loads evenly across the press slide becomes difficult.
The strip layout in the accompanying illustration represents a process for an eight-station progressive die. To calculate the tipping moments, multiply the cutting and forming forces by the distance from the center of the press where the forces act. Using the center of the press as the origin, distances to the left would have negative values while the distances to right would be positive. In a perfect world, the sum of all of the moments would equal zero, indicating balanced forces across the press slide.
Table 1 quantifies the cutting and forming forces for each die station, and the distance from the center of the press where those forces act. The last column in the table shows the resultant moments at each die station. Here, the sum of all of the moments equals –121.5 in.-tons, indicating an unbalanced load across the slide.
The Cures
Stampers can select from several possible solutions to correct slide tipping. These remedies often are implemented after die tryout when the unbalanced loads become apparent from tonnage-monitor readings.
Two common remedies: shifting the die in the press, or introducing a dummy load somewhere in the die. If the die cannot be shifted in the press due to a lack of room on the press bed, adding a dummy load often is the only recourse. To introduce a dummy load, the stamper typically adds a pressure system or coining station to balance the loads.
A better solution would be to address the problem during die design. Here, process and die-design engineers must recognize that these loads exist during process layout, calculate their magnitudes and make appropriate changes in the final die design to balance the loads.
For example, shifting the strip layout in the above illustration to the right 1.5 in. would position the pilot hole at station four on the centerline of the press. This would substantially reduce the resulting moments (Table 2).
Shifting the die strip would require that the die slightly increase in length. If this is not possible due to limited press-bed space, strategically applying shear to select cutting punches would help balance the loads. For example, adding metal thickness shear to the cutting punch in station two reduces cutting force by approximately 50 percent (Table 3), balancing the loads across the press slide. Another benefit of the punch shear: reduced impact load, shock and vibration.
Perfection not Required
It's not necessary to perfectly balance all of the forces across the slide. The press structure and die-guiding systems can handle some off-center loading. In fact, it may be impossible to balance the loads for many processes, especially in progressive dies.
Even under ideal conditions where the sum of all of the moments equals zero, some slide tipping will occur because all of the moment forces are not generated at the same time. This occurs because the forces generated by forming processes may occur ½ in. or more above the bottom of the press stroke, while punching and blanking forces occur at the very bottom of the stroke.What is important is that designers recognize, address and manage slide-tipping moments during the die-design phase of a project, not after die tryout.

Background to this post
Firstly, whilst I'm a unemployed programmer of ancient legacy systems, I've no clue about 3D/2D worlds, programming in C++, vector3 objects, OOP, floating point numbers, game development or anything vaguely that could be considered a relevant technical background for this post.
Not that I'm going to let that stop me.
My observations
Yesterday, I played Maia 0.56 for a single play session of about 2 hours. No loading, no restarting. It didn't crash and I built a fairly large base.
But my impression was that the longer the game went on, the less predictable my colonists path finding became.
That's unfair, I wasn't really taking much notice until about the 90 minute mark when I was getting concerned that objects I'd requested be built 85 minutes ago still hadn't been built.
So I started to watch a colonist for 3 or 4 minutes. I think he was drunk and blind and perhaps had a small bar magnet embedded in his head. And I didn't think he was alone.
Now there are a lot of factors that could be the reason. I didn't build any plants. I barely built any lights. There's probably some other psychological reasons why I was being bad to my colonists.
There were a lot of small objects on the floor (ore piles) and the base was much larger that at the beginning of my play session. So there are lots of "working as intended" reasons why my colonist was walking some very obscure routes.
... or the AI was messing up.
I'll be posting a video of my testing session, if it ever finishes processing.
My idea
So I was thinking of one of my favourite games of yore.... Settlers. I think Settlers 3.
In that version of the game, a game NPC walking along a path would create a minor impression in the ground. Not even visible at first.
More NPCs walking along that same path would further impact the world until after a fairly short period of time the grass would be worn away and a minor soil pathway would become visible.
Once (or maybe before) the path became visible, it became the preferred route and slightly faster to travel upon. Which in turn meant more NPCs would choose to walk that way as opposed to on the grass.
NPCs would mainly choose those paths again and the pathways would become roads, etc.
Whilst I don't believe that same system would work in Maia, it got me thinking.
What if once an object is placed in a room, the AI re-calculated a path across the room joining as "shortest path" between two doors. Marking (invisibly) a path along the floor for each path from one side of the room to another. That way, when a colonist needs to get somewhere within the base, they don't need to plan out the whole journey in explicit detail, instead just thinking about a series of connections between rooms via these discrete mini-routes. Then once they reach their intended room, there's still the small matter to getting to the object they want to interact with.
There are complication obviously.
It doesn't address open-world pathing, or plant growth outdoors.
It doesn't address impassable rooms where the player has blocked the way, but "going the long way around" is still possible.
Calculating a route between two doors placed side by side in the same wall seems 99% pointless.
IMPs would need to be instructed to not place anything down that would block one of these routes and pick a different spot with the room if possible.
Players shouldn't be aware of the hidden paths and potentially they might block them - but I think that's a choice the player needs to be able to make and interaction points should sort out the rest.
Then there's the extreme case of a player building a huge room and putting a door into every potential place on every available wall. (So maybe it's not shortest route between doors, maybe it's between walls or rooms?)
I don't know if any of that helps. But it's a thought, and perhaps it might be a positive contribution.

Removal of Cu2+ & Fe3+ Ions from Oil Wells by Local Activated Carbon in Batch Adsorption Process
In this study the efficiency of activated carbon produced from rice husk (RHAC) was studied to remove of Cu2+ & Fe3+ions from waste oil water which comes out from the oil industry in Basrah city, and the efficiency of RHAC has been compared with efficiency of raw rice husk(RH) and commercial activated carbon(CAC). The effects of operating parameters were studied such as (contact time, adsorbent size, adsorbent dose, initial concentration of adsorbate, temperature, pH and rotation speed). The adsorption efficiency is arranged by (RHAC > CAC >RH) which removed 96.588, 92.9, 69.3% of Cu2+ ions, and 94.54, 92.23, 72.66% of Fe3+ ions onto RHAC, CAC & RH, respectively. The FTIR results showed that a different in functional groups was scattered in surface of adsorbent material, that causing the different in adsorption efficiencies of heavy metal ions.

Canning Shell Beans
Fresh cranberry beans or borlotti beans are one of my favorite fall foods. I used to start eating them around Thanksgiving when they came out of California, but more and more local growers are producing them and now they are turning up in my New York farmer's market much earlier. They are creamy, mild, and extremely versatile. The bean is ivory colored with red speckles (as are the 4-inch long pods), and they turn a brownish pink when you cook them. The Latin binomial is Phaseolus vulgaris, or "common bean." There is a lot of variability within this species, which includes cultivars like Anasazi beans, pintos, and navy beans.
Dried bean are great, though their nutrition and flavor degrades after 12 months and they take longer to cook, so if you don't know the age of your beans when you buy them, a dried cranberry bean can be pretty disappointing. Since the beans are coming in now, you can always dry them yourself, which is easy to do: if you grow them, you can allow them to dry on the vine or stalk until the beans inside rattle, or you can place the pods on newspaper in a dry attic, again, until the beans inside rattle. Beans dried in this manner will need to be pasteurized: Either bake the dried beans (in their pods) at 160 F for 30 minutes, or place them in freezer baggies and freeze for 48 hours at 0 F. This kills any insects and their eggs. If using a dehydrator, shell the beans and spread them on the trays. Dry at 140 F for a few hours, until the beans are hard. You can dry in your oven, of course, but honestly, it will drive you crazy. Often the beans cook rather than dry out.
You can freeze beans of course: just blanch for 2 to 3 minutes, drain, and pack into freezer baggies, refrigerate to cool, then freeze. They do tend to discolor but when you cook them the brownish tinge disappears (since the beans cook up pinkish brown anyway). Or you can put them up in a jar and take it to a whole other level.
Pressure canning beans in water and salt is fine and good—only 40 minutes in the pressure canner at 11 lbs of pressure at sea level (using a dial gauge; 10 lbs using a weighted gauge canner; and 15 pounds if you are processessing at over 1,000 feet) but since you are pressure canning, why not add lots of flavor?
One of my favorite dishes with cranberry beans is pasta fagioli. In my family recipe, fresh cranberry beans are boiled in chicken stock, then sautéed with olive oil, white wine, garlic, lemon juice, marjoram, salt and pepper. The beans are mashed and combined with cooked cut pasta, like penne, and garnished with parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. It's a thick but loose sauce. I also prepare cranberry beans this way to serve in a salad with home-canned tuna, and as a base for a bean soup (with the addition of more stock, onion, and chopped greens like broccoli nero or kale). I figured if I am pressure canning anyway, why not can the whole shebang, and time the processing for bean soup with chicken stock…11 lbs at sea level for 100 minutes?
I'm thrilled I did. The results are delicious. The processing basically cooks the beans with the chicken stock, olive oil, wine, garlic, and marjoram. Now the jars are ready to go, for a practically instant dinner. Here's the recipe.
Canned Cranberry Beans
Makes 3 pints
It's okay to vary the quantities of garlic, lemon juice, marjoram, salt and pepper, even wine in this recipe. Likewise, you can add or substitute other herbs, or chopped onion. Chopped carrot would be good, too. The processing times and pressure are derived from USDA data.
2 pounds cranberry beans, shelled (4 lbs in shell)
¾ cup white wine
6 tablespoons olive oil
9 teaspoons lemon juice (from 1 ½ lemons)
3 teaspoon dried marjoram (6 teaspoons if you use fresh)
3 garlic cloves, slivered
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
About 2 cups of chicken stock (homemade is best)
Have ready 3 very clean glass pint jars and bands, with new lids that have been simmered in hot water to soften the rubberized flange.
Distribute all the ingredients equally among the 3 jars leaving 1 inch of headroom. Wipe the rims, place on the lids, and screw on the bands fingertip tight.
Place the rack in the bottom of your pressure canner. Place 2 to 3 inches of water in the bottom of your pressure canner. Place the jars on the rack. Align the cover handles so they are locked into position as per the instructions for your pressure canner. Remove the pressure regulator from the steam vent. Heat the canner over a high heat. Allow steam to be released from the vent for 7 to 10 minutes, and then put the pressure regulator over the steam vent.
Process the jars at 11 pounds of pressure for 60 minutes. If you have a dial gauge, then add a pound of pressure for every 2,000 feet above sea level. If you are using a weighted gauge canner then process at 10 pounds of pressure for 60 minutes at sea level, and 15 pounds of pressure if your altitude is over 1,000 feet.
If your dial gauge canner runs slightly more than 11 pounds of pressure, it's okay. Just don't go under 11 pounds. If the pressure dips under 11 pounds you can't count those minutes against the hour you must process the corn. First bring the canner back up to pressure by increasing the heat, and then continue timing. If you are using a weighted gauge canner then you are listening to the rattles—the gauge needs to rattle every 30 seconds are so. If it rattles constantly then your heat is too high.
Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to drop naturally. When the canner is depressurized (this will be evident as per the instructions for your specific pressure canner), remove the gauge, then remove the top, opening it away from your face. Remove the jars and allow them to rest for at least 6 hours. They may still be boiling when you remove them. It's okay, Just don't remove the bands. Check the seals and store in a cool dark place for up to a year. Refrigerate after opening.
