Coffee: Are There Grounds for its Reputation in Competition?
By Frank Horwill
When the noted physiologist, David Costill, announced in 1978 that a cup of strong black coffee taken before running a marathon could improve performance by as much as 10 minutes, it was common to see runners just before they embarked on their 42 km spin, drinking, not just one cup of strong black coffee, but several.
Costill found that the caffeine in coffee stimulated the sympathetic nervous system to burn fatty acids for fuel preferentially. This would save valuable glycogen until needed later in the race around the 22 mile (35km) mark. Without coffee, only 19 per cent of fatty acids were burnt, but this was doubled after swigging a cup of strong black coffee. Fatty acids may be classed as "the commercial fuel" for the human machine, while glycogen can be considered a high octane premium fuel which is preferentially oxidised for energy.
As with all alleged ergogenic aids, there are plenty of people around who tried it and because they didn't become champions over night, were quick to criticise Costill's findings. Some even said that caffeine was a banned substance in sport. It is not. The permitted amount is 12 microgrammes per millilitre in urine. To reach this level, requires a dose of about 1,200mg of pure caffeine and such an amount will cause violent stomach pain.
So, what went wrong? Well, the first thing is that the user must be well-trained. Caffeine will not transform a poorly prepared athlete into a better one. Two-thirds of the studies with trained athletes showed significant benefits of caffeine on performance or physiological responses or both. This was not the case when sedentary subjects were coerced into exercise. The next thing was pretty obvious to the physiologists and not to the majority of runners: if a person is a three to six cups of coffee a day individual, the effect of just one or two cups of strong coffee will be minimal. For any benefit to show it would be necessary to abstain totally from the beverage for at least 14 days before competition and this applies equally to the consumption of tea. In fact, any caffeine-containing drug or herb, such as guarana, should be avoided in the run up to the race.
How much and when?
The next two important considerations are:
- What amount to take?
- What time before the competition?
A safe allocation is half the legal limit, which will be 600mg of pure caffeine. However, this should be tried out first in training with runs in excess of one hour's duration, and noting whether there is increased anxiety, irritability, delirium and hallucinations! With regard to the second question, the oft-quoted time to take it is one hour before competition. This may be effective for some, but studies which concentrated on the fat-burning response to caffeine suggest that this process does not start until 3-4 hours after ingestion. This would suggest that an athlete aiming to run 4 hours for the marathon would need to take it three hours before hand, while one whose target is 2.5 hours would take it around four hours prior to the race.
But, we are not out of the woods yet! Most marathoners greatly decrease their training for a week up to the race and also increase their carbohydrate intake for the final three days. Normal carbohydrate intake for a strenuous trainer is weight in pounds x 4 = grammes of carbohydrate. So an athlete weighing 100lbs (45kg) would ideally ingest 400 grammes a day. That may seem a lot, but if two hours of running are done daily - it isn't. Carbohydrate boosting may involve 800 grammes a day being consumed, albeit mostly in the form of a carbo-loader (polymer). If this is done, caffeine ingestion will not make the slightest difference! This is because the muscles being primed with glycogen beyond their normal levels the body will always take the easy alternative, the glycogen boosted one.
What does it do?
For the long-distance runner, caffeine has two allegedly detrimental faces to it. The first is that it is a diuretic (makes you lose water) and if the temperature is over 70oF (210C) that suggests possible dehydration. The second is that it is thermogenic (raises metabolic rate and body temperature). The two together appear to make caffeine a non-starter in warm conditions. But recent research by Dr. Baraket Falk et al at McMaster University, Ontario, throws doubt on these well-aired criticisms.
Runners were given 7.5mg/kg of caffeine to bodyweight (560mg for a 75kg man). The does did not cause water loss, nor did it raise temperature any higher than without it, while running on a treadmill to exhaustion at 70-75 per cent of VO2 max, about 80-85 per cent maximum pulse rate. It appears that caffeine on the run does not have the same detrimental effects as when taken at rest.
Who benefits?
Experience, so far, tells us that the novice marathoner responds more spectacularly than the experienced athlete. We can class sub 3-hour marathoners as experienced, and the remainder in the not so experienced class, depending on age. However, an improvement of just two minutes by an elite runner may make the difference between winning and losing, gold instead of silver.
But endurance events are not the only activity that have shown improvements with the use of caffeine. Sprint performance and, in particular, the 1,500 metres have responded well to caffeine ingestion. In fact, the evidence suggests that it can bolster explosive performances by up to 7 per cent. Researchers in Montpellier, France asked seven highly trained swimmers who trained at least five times a week, to swim 100 metres freestyle at highest possible speed, rest for 20 minutes and then repeat the maximal 100 metre effort. On one occasion the athletes ingested 250mg of caffeine - about the amount found in three cups of brewed coffee - one hour before the first maximal swim; in another instance, they took a placebo. Compared to the placebo, caffeine boosted swim velocity during the 100 metre bursts by about 3 per cent. When a placebo was ingested, swimming speed fell dramatically during the second 100 metre sprint, but caffeine prevented this drop in velocity. Caffeine also heightened blood lactate levels by 10 to 15 per cent after the first and second 100 metre swims, indicating that more energy was produced anaerobically when caffeine was utilised. But caffeine only benefited well trained swimmers. When a second group of untrained swimmers also tried the 100 metre swims with and without caffeine, caffeine boosted blood-lactate levels but didn't heighten swimming speed. The researchers speculated that the non-trained swimmers weren't able to buffer (reduce) the increases in muscle acidity produced by the excess lactic acid.
In a different study carried out by the same French team, caffeine enhanced maximal anaerobic power during cycling by about 7 per cent. Previous research had avoided looking at caffeine's effects during very intense exercise because it was felt that it had a glycogen-sparing effect which would actually hinder anaerobic performance. Based on the Montpelier investigations, it now appears that 250mg of caffeine can produce dramatic improvements in high-intensity exercise. Since it has been shown to help both swimmers and cyclists, it can probably lift sprint speeds in runners too.
At the University of Calgary in Canada, 11 swimmers (seven men and four women) consumed either caffeine or a placebo about 2.5 hours before a 1,500m time trial. The total quantity ingested was 6 milligrammes per kilogramme of body weight, or 300-400 total milligrammes, about the amount in three to four cups of strong coffee. Athletes were unaware of whether they were taking caffeine or a placebo, and two separate trials were conducted so that each swimmer's performance could be evaluated with and without caffeine. With no caffeine, the Canadian swimmers averaged 21:22 for their 1,500m trials; with caffeine, their clockings dropped significantly to 20:58, a 2 per cent improvement. The researchers speculated that caffeine may actually increase the rate at which carbohydrate is broken down for energy inside muscles or may improve the way in which muscle cells handle potassium, an important mineral involved in muscle contraction. As mentioned earlier, when the body has a choice of two nutritional aids it will dump one in favour of the other. And, this is the case if creatine phosphate supplement is being taken.
High levels of this substance increase muscles' capacity for work in three ways:
- providing an instant source of energy
- mopping up some of the fatigue-causing acid that builds up during high-intensity exercise
- directly stimulating muscle proteins to contract
There is evidence that it is more efficient in the presence of a high-carbohydrate diet. This is because carbohydrate stimulates insulin release, which in turn encourages the uptake of creatine into cells.
There is evidence that it is more efficient in the presence of a high-carbohydrate diet. This is because carbohydrate stimulates insulin release, which in turn encourages the uptake of creatine into cells.
A team of Belgian researchers recently investigated the effect of taking creatine supplements with caffeine. They expected it to boost creatine's effect, since caffeine is known to boost the activity of the transport system that shuttles creatine from the bloodstream across in to the muscle cells. They were surprised and disappointed to find the opposite - caffeine actually counteracted creatine's positive effects!
The last word
In conclusion, the taking of caffeine as an ergogenic aid requires considerable thought. The considerations are:
- The distance of the event
- Where fat-burning preferentially is the aim, taking it just before the start of the race will be non productive
- For explosive events it should be consumed at least one hour prior to the occasion
- The type and amount of caffeine to be consumed
- Pre-competition experiment in training
- Abstinence of all caffeine consumption for at least two weeks before use.
There will always be those who will consider the use of caffeine as being morally wrong. The answer to that is, if it's all right to do carbohydrate boosting before an endurance event and to consume high-powered athletic drinks during competition, it is all right to drink extra coffee.

An interesting and early look at a new tools platform
February 28, 2014 17:59
Atom is clearly an early look at a new code editor and much work remains to be done to produce a good community, a wide array of plugins as well as improving upon the performance of the product.
That aside, GitHub clearly cares about this product and is working hard to produce something that may well be great. Feedback has been responded to promptly and updates are rolling out to address issues.
The process of producing and publishing plugins is very smooth with a good set of tools to assist in the progress. Documentation is still in progress.
There are still performance problems with larger files and really large files can't be loaded at all. However, this is still a beta, so it remains to be seen what happens here.
A very flexible, semi-native code editor for web technologies
March 02, 2014 04:12
Atom is Github's text editor, at the time of this writing it's still in private beta.
It uses Chromium Embedded at it's core, and integrates with node.js. It provides easy access to extensibility features, including an autocompletion API.
The result is that you will likely soon be looking at an editor that features full node.js autocompletion in javascript and coffeescript.
Everything you see in your editor window is in a DOM. This is akin to Codemirror or Ace. Meaning you get both the benefit of debugging your extensions with a webkit console, and the harm of having dom overhead everywhere in your text buffer.
Since the main editor is essentially a browser, you can also preview html directly in the same window. At the time of this writing you can live preview your markdown like with other markdown editors based on similar technology. Currently it's not possible to preview other html pages in there, but it's likely that this is in the works.

Rep. Peter King Pledges to Improve Communications Among First Responders
Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) pledged to heed the 9/11 Commission's report and improve communications among the nation's first responders as the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center nears.
King, the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, is seeking House support for a bill allocating a 10 MHz radio channel on the communications spectrum for public safety.
"I urge the House to take up my legislation, H.R. 607, as soon as possible so that we can provide our nation's first responders with the tools they require to fulfill their mission," King said in statement.
His bill, the Broadband for First Responders Act of 2011, sets aside the D Block channel for first responders to communicate in the wake of a massive disaster. Allocating D Block for public safety would strengthen first responders' communication capabilities to carry out complex duties, King said.
The New York lawmaker first introduced the bill in February in response to the 41 recommendations issued by 9/11 Commission in 2004. It has since received bipartisan support from President Barack Obama, and Democrats and Republicans alike on the House homeland security committee.
However, the legislation has been stalled by arguments over whether to allocate the D Block directly to the public safety sector or auction it off to a commercial wireless bidder who would then be required to provide priority access to the public safety sector during emergencies.
King believes allocating D Block for the use of public safety is in the nation's best interest.
The commission's 9/11 10 anniversary report noted that the U.S. governments response since the 2001 attacks have been "dramatic."
"The FBI, CIA and broader intelligence community have implemented significant reforms, disrupting many plots and bringing to justice many terrorist operatives," the report found.
However it chided local, state and national governments for failing to correct the incompatible and inadequate communications that led to needless loss of life during the 9/11 attacks in New York City and the District of Columbia.
"Despite the lives at stake, the recommendation to improve radio interoperability for first responders has stalled," the commission stated.
First responders currently have a 700 MHz band of the spectrum. Adding the D Block to the existing public safety spectrum would allow first responders to construct a nationwide interoperable public safety broadband network, police and public safety leaders say.
The expanded network would allow the agencies to communicate with each other via voice, video, text and other data transmission.
"I was heartened to see the commissioners repeat their support for immediate reallocation of the D Block for public safety for the construction of a nationwide, interoperable broadband network for use by America's first responders," King said.
He continued, "I pledge to continue to work with Speaker [John] Boehner and other House leaders to implement this important recommendation on House committee jurisdiction."
King also vows to reorganize the maze of congressional committees that oversees the DHS's operations. DHS currently answers to over 100 congressional committees and subcommittees, with concurrent and overlapping jurisdiction, he explained.

The approximate flag is on, indicating that the relationship between the code in the source system and the code in the target system is an approximate equivalent.
Information for Patients
Myositis means inflammation of the muscles that you use to move your body. An injury, infection, or autoimmune disease can cause it. Two specific kinds are polymyositis and dermatomyositis. Polymyositis causes muscle weakness, usually in the muscles closest to the trunk of your body. Dermatomyositis causes muscle weakness, plus a skin rash.
Other symptoms of myositis may include
- Fatigue after walking or standing
- Tripping or falling
- Trouble swallowing or breathing
Doctors may use a physical exam, lab tests, imaging tests and a muscle biopsy to diagnose myositis. There is no cure for these diseases, but you can treat the symptoms. Polymyositis and dermatomyositis are first treated with high doses of a corticosteroid. Other options include medications, physical therapy, exercise, heat therapy, assistive devices, and rest.

Getting Involved with the Community
As an Eclipse user or developer, your first (and best) way to get involved with the community is to use the Eclipse IDE for your development and explore what the many Eclipse projects have to offer you. Let your interest areas guide you towards the projects that you find most interesting.
Don't wait too long to get directly involved with the community. Here are some suggestions on ways to participate. Feel free to add your own ideas to the list.
- Ask questions in the newcomer forum. The forum is monitored by seasoned Eclipse users and developers who are happy to answer your questions.
- Be sure to read "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way" by Eric Raymond and Rick Moen before you post.
- Well formed questions tend to be answered while poorly worded ones are not.
- Contribute to conversations occurring within the Eclipse community (primarily between developers) by adding yourself to one or more mailing lists. Each project has its own mailing list and there are some lists (like cross-project-issues-dev) that span projects and provide a good source of information concerning the integration of various projects.
- Use IRC channels related to Eclipse to discuss Eclipse-related technologies, chat with the developers of Eclipse and ask questions.
- Give your opinions and share advice by adding your Eclipse-related blog to Planet Eclipse.
- Tell people about the Eclipse solutions you like best by favourite-ing them and posting reviews on Eclipse Marketplace.
- Rate and comment on the demos, podcasts, videos and webinar resources listed on Eclipse Live.
Suggest Improvements
- File bugs, request new features and pose questions through Bugzilla.
- Be sure to read How to Report Bugs Effectively by Simon Tatham (or at least the short Bug Writing Guidelines).
- If you want to keep informed about the progress of bugs through the system, you can register (by configuring "User Watching" in the Email Settings) to be notified when a bug is created or modified. This is a great way to be a "fly on the wall" as bugs are worked through the system. You can learn about the process while you learn about Eclipse just by watching these notes.
Contribute Patches
The easiest way to contribute code to a project is to provide a patch for a bug.
- Bugs marked "helpwanted" or "bugday" are a good starting point ("bugday" bugs are oftentimes relatively easy ones to fix)
It's a good idea to communicate with a project that you intend to work with. If you need help getting started, or sorting out a problem, ask. All projects have a website that will provide you with contact information. All project communication is done transparently through mailing lists or Bugzilla.
Bigger contributions, including entirely functionality, may be welcome as well. It's a generally good idea to communicate with the project before you put too much effort into a large contribution to ensure that the contribution fits in with the scope and plan of the project.
- Create demos and how-to resources on Eclipse like videos, podcasts and webinars and post them to Eclipse Live.
- Start your own project on Eclipse Labs. Eclipse Labs provides the infrastructure services typically required by open source projects, such as code repositories, bug tracking and project web sites and is hosted by Google. The projects here are not hosted by the Eclipse Foundation and do not have to follow the Eclipse Foundation development and intellectual property policies. It's an ideal place to work on experimental, niche and early stage projects.
- Eclipse Projects always need help with documentation. Once you're familiar enough with a project, contribute pages to the Eclipse wiki.
- It's great when people help by reporting bugs, but it's even better when they create patches to fix them! You can submit your fix via Bugzilla.
- Start or participate in a Regional Eclipse Community group with others in your local area. Regional Eclipse Communities allow people to meet in person and discuss topics of particular interest in your area. RECs are a great way to collaborate in your native language.
- Sign up for a local IT event in your area and give a presentation on Eclipse.
- Tell your friends about Eclipse and help us spread the word!
- Attend Eclipse events and connect with the community
- Become a Friend of Eclipse by donating financially. Donations are used to provide services for the Eclipse community, like providing more bandwidth for users and committers, purchasing additional servers to host Eclipse projects, sending students to EclipseCon and sponsoring Eclipse community events.
- Help translate Eclipse into other languages through the Babel project.

How much did we pay for this relaxing weekend, you ask?
We were able to do this all for about $40! How?
We enjoyed all of this at the most fabulous bed and breakfast ever, our home! We shipped the kids off to the grandparents and just stayed home. I realize how lucky we are to live near enough to both of our parents that they are able to share taking care of our children, this isn't possible for everyone.
We talked as we leisurely made our own food. My husband loves to cook so he did the majority of the cooking for me! We bought extra special meats that we rarely make with the children because of the cost.
The major cost for our weekend was food and a box of wine, which of course came from our grocery budget. Hubby also had to buy a rib rack for his grill. The other major cost was movies. We watched quite a few movies over the weekend! We stayed up late and slept in, a luxury that doesn't happen very often when you have kids!
We started this tradition for our 10th anniversary. We wanted to do something extra special, but didn't have any money. It was so relaxing we decided it was mandatory from then on. It's so nice to spend the time together, just us. After a weekend of doing NOTHING, I'm ready to get back to work! It charges my batteries! Helps with the frugal burn out I've been feeling!
I think the main thing is to thing outside the box and find a way to have a special time without spending any money. It definitely takes more brain power, but often it's more worth it than even if you spent lots of money.
Let's hear from you
What are some creative ideas you've done for anniversaries or other special events? I'd love to hear some more wonderful ideas!

"While the court referral has attracted the lion share of attention, my weekly technology law column reports that there is an alternate secret strategy in which Canada plays a key role. According to recently leaked documents, the EU plans to use the Canada - EU Trade Agreement, which is nearing its final stages of negotiation, as a backdoor mechanism to implement the ACTA provisions. The CETA IP chapter has already attracted attention due to EU pharmaceutical patent demands that could add billions to provincial health care costs, but the bigger story may be that the same chapter features a near word-for-word replica of ACTA." Democracy? Bah humbug!

Joint Special Operations Group
The Joint Special Operations Group (JSOG) was formed in 2008 by combining the Etowah County Sheriff's Office and Gadsden Police Department SWAT Teams. The Unit is under the command of Randal Johnson.
JSOG responds to situations that are beyond the capabilities of normally equipped and trained law enforcement personnel dealing with tactical response, hostage negotiations, hazardous materials, and explosive ordinance disposal.
Since its inception, JSOG members have affected the safe rescue of several hostages, arrested numerous violent suspects and earned multiple commendations and citations.
Members of the Joint Special Operations Group are required to maintain the highest standard of physical fitness and firearms. The team consists of tactical operators, crisis negotiators and bomb disposal technicians.
The Joint Special Operations Group is a support resource within the Sheriff's Office. It is responsive to the needs of the entire Sheriff's Office, and is available to any local, regional, state or federal law enforcement agency upon request and approval of the Sheriff.
The services of the JSOG Unit are specifically directed towards situations of demonstrated violence and force, or potential violence and force recognized as necessitating a disciplined team effort utilizing specialized training, tactics and equipment. The team trains together once a month.
The primary objective of the Joint Special Operations Group is to solve the problem as quick as possible, using whatever means are available, whatever force is reasonable and necessary, with minimal risk to all involved.
The following are examples of situations that, by their potentially violent and/or specialized nature, indicate the recommendation of JSOG mobilization.
- Armed suspect(s) with hostages
- Rescue of hostages(s), trapped or isolated officers
- Sniper or suspected sniper
- Barricaded gunman or suspected barricaded gunman
- Use of chemical agents
- Service of search warrants on violent or potentially violent suspect(s)
- Arrest of violent or potentially violent suspect(s)
- Man tracking (Escapees)
- Rioting
- Civil disorder.
- VIP security.
A Message From The Sheriff
This site is maintained as a public service for the citizens of Etowah County. As Sheriff, it is my pleasure to serve you in this manner. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact us.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- In a conference call with some of the supporters shut out of his acceptance speech due to weather, President Obama expressed his regret over having to relocate the speech inside. But he urged his supporters to not let the weather concerns get them down and to "roll with it."
Recommended: Romney camp dismisses Clinton as 'good soldier'
The campaign held the call as a consolation effort for the 65,000 grassroots supporters who lost their "community credentials" to the president's speech Thursday night after it was relocated from the larger, outdoor Bank of America Stadium to the Time Warner Cable Arena due to projections of inclement weather. "My main message is: We can't let a little thunder and lightning get us down. We're going to have to roll with it," he said.
Tom Daschle shares his thoughts on how the bond between President Barack Obama and Bill Clinton has evolved throughout the years.
The latest hour-by-hour projections by Weather.com show a very strong chance of thunderstorms in Charlotte on Thursday afternoon.
Many of these ticketholders had earned their credentials by volunteering a specific amount of hours. But the president said he and his staff could not fathom putting volunteers and other supporters in harm's way. "The problem was a safety issue," he said. "It would have been a problem and we would have had a situation where we were putting you guys at risk. I know it's disappointing," he said.
Related: Four challenges for Obama
The president also said that he hoped to continue the momentum of the previous two nights of the convention, which he called "unbelievable, citing a few speakers in particula -- his wife Michelle, San Antonio Mayor Julian Castro, and former President Bill Clinton. Obama said Clinton, with whom he shared an onstage hug after his speech, "broke down the issues as effectively as anybody."
The president also used the occasion of the call to plug voter registration efforts in North Carolina, a state whose 15 electoral votes Obama campaign is battling hard to win again in 2012. "North Carolina is Exhibit A of the unbelievable work that's being done at the grassroots level; you guys are blowing it out when it comes to registering voters," he said.
With Bill Clinton's anxiously awaited speech out of the way, all eyes now turn to President Barack Obama, who will make the speech that could make or break his re-election. Obama senior advisor Valerie Jarrett discusses.
Republicans have pilloried the Democrats for moving the speech inside, saying the decision was driven not by the weather but by low voter enthusiasm that might have led to empty seats.
But campaign manager Jim Messina pushed back on that notion before the president got on the call, telling the supporters that the evening would have been "standing room only, it would have been an amazing night but safety has to be always the No.1."

The amazing snow creations around town are the best part of being a bicyclist right now. That, and the mild weather and surprisingly clear streets.
This is a great time to be a bicyclist. I'm hardened by the extreme cold earlier this winter so the merely freezing temperatures are comparatively mild and even refreshing as I generate body heat from pedaling. The tall snow banks lining the roads make motorists nervous, and they drive slowly and carefully. The pavement is completely clear—unlike the roads after the storm around the New Year, which left enormous, thick, rocky patches of ice. I don't really need my studded tires.
Best of all, as a bicyclist I use primarily residential and minor arterial streets so I get to see the best results of the Winter Storm Rocky—snow giants, snow men, and even a snow castle! These are things you don't get to see driving down Baltimore St./ Bus Loop 63. The smallest snow giant was twice as big as me. The other one rested its arms on the roof. The snow castle was quite the creation, featuring crenellations, a tunnel, and a slide to sled down.
Snow men all over town ranged from the tiny half-melted things to a big guy with traditional coal eyes, carrot nose, and even a top hat. Today I recognized a snow man I'd seen in the paper, holding a refreshing drink. The snow man on the corner down the street sports a Mizzou ball cap, but the one across from him has suffered from the heat and is leaning backwards looking at the stars. From the window of the 6th floor lab I watched sledders on the hill near Spur Pond on the day of the storm. When they left, a collection of snow men had sprung up.
I'm impressed with the snow creations around town. Even with three able bodied adults (or near-adult) at home, it was all we could do to keep our driveway and walk shoveled, with a little time for sledding. Our own stunted snowman lost his head before nightfall.

This is the top page for bentos that are made completely (or mostly) in a rice cooker.
Bento contents:
Total calories (approx): 380 (how calories are calculated) [2]
Time needed: 5 to 10 minutes prep time, plus 20-30 minutes of cooking time
Type: Japanese, made in a rice cooker
Shortly before I got stuck in a hospital [3] and so on, I mentioned that I was basically without a kitchen [4]. I've been free of the clutches of the hospital for a while now, but am still without a kitchen, since construction work has not begun yet. So I'm still relying on a few small appliances: a 2-burner hotplate, a microwave slash oven thing, an electric kettle, and most of all, my 20-plus-year old, trusty rice cooker, the one I inherited from my mother when she moved back to Japan. I've already posted a couple of bento-friendly rice cooker recipes [5], and I have more up my sleeve.
But what about using a rice cooker to make an entire bento? It can be done! This bento here may look rather familiar - it's almost identical in appearance to the one that is on the cover of my bento book [6] in fact. What can I say, the combination of chicken and sweet peppers is a reliable standby for me. What makes this bento different though is that, except for the broccoli, which is made in advance and stashed in the refrigerator, everything is made at once in the rice cooker - with the flavors kept separate too.
So let's see how this is done.
This makes enough for 2 people. If you're making a bento for one, just halve the chicken and peppers, and reserve the extra rice for a later bento. You can also make more rice if you like and freeze the excess.
I used my old battered 5-cup Zojirushi rice cooker for this, but any rice cooker should work.
Streamlining tip: Rinse the rice and put it in the cooker with the water the night before. Cut up the peppers and chicken and massage the chicken with the oil, and store in the refrigerator ready to go. In the morning, dump the foil packet on the rice, switch the cooker on, and go about your other morning activities until the rice cooker has finished its business.
Rinse your rice as usual (how to do it properly [7]), put in the inner bowl of your rice cooker, and add enough water for 1 cup of rice.
Massage the oil into your chicken chunks with your hands very well. This step is important in order to end up with tender chicken, since breast meat tends to get dried out. In addition, the chicken chunks should be fairly large, about 1 inch / 2 cm or so square - very small bits will get overcooked and dry. You could use chicken thigh meat (dark meat has more fat in it so won't get tough and dried out as easily) instead.
Put the cut up peppers and chicken onto the middle of a sheet of aluminum foil that is cut large enough to wrap completely around the lot. Add the soy sauce, sprinkle of salt and black pepper and mix it up well right on the foil. (Note: If you object to the use of aluminum foil, you could use kitchen parchment paper instead.)
Note that you do not need to add any extra moisture here. The moisture of the peppers will be enough.
Gather up the foil over the mound of chicken and peppers and close it up to form a pouch. Make sure it's sealed well, unless you want pepper-chicken juice to drip on your rice. Put the pouch right on top of the rice. Switch the cooker on with the regular-rice setting, and go off to do other things.
Here's how the pouch of chicken and peppers looks when it's done. There's just a bit of excess moisture in the foil. Drain this off when packing the chicken-peppers into your bento.
And here's the rice after the foil packet is removed. It has a funny dent in the middle but is otherwise perfectly cooked.
Now all you have to do is to pack your bento! Remember to put the rice in first, let it cool down, then pack the other ingredients. Note that I packed just a little rice in my box - the rest of the rice got packed into The Guy's box.
I did do the broccoli separately here, but you could steam-cook it along with the rice if you like. Just put it in its own foil packet and dump it on top of the rice. It will come out a bit overcooked and greyish-green though.
You are essentially using the heat of the steam that is generated by the rice cooker as it cooks the rice, to cook the chicken and peppers in the foil packet too. Since the rice cooker is a small, closed environment, this works very well. It's really the same principle as cooking in a foil or paper packet in an oven or on the stove top (the French cooking term for this method is en papillote), but since you're not heating up another appliance you're saving a bit of energy too. And the flavors are kept separate! You could do this in any place that you can plug in a rice cooker - in a dorm room for example, which is, as I mentioned earlier, essentially what I'm living in now, sort of. (Note that I didn't come up with this method on my own; I've seen it in a couple of Japanese cookbooks, which I have adapted. None of the books I've seen used it for making an all-in-one bento though!)
One caution: don't put a foil packet directly in contact with the bottom surface of your rice cooker bowl. It gets very hot there, and your foil may blacken and even develop holes. Put it on top of a bed of grains though, and you'll be fine. (I don't know why the rice doesn't burn on the bottom. That is the magic of rice cookers.)
This method can be used for a lot of other bento combinations - change the grains, change the things you put in the foil packet, and so on. As I experiment with some of mine you'll see them showing up here of course. In the meantime, see what combinations you can come up with on your own!
It may. I don't own either of those at the moment, so I can't try it out I'm afraid. If you do, let us know how it turns out.
This is the one tier Nara bento box [8], which is made of real wood. It's available from Bento&co [9]. Since it is a real wooden box it needs to be treated with some care, and must be carried upright (wrapped in a furoshiki cloth ideally) to prevent it from spilling over. In fact, a wooden bento box goes against just about all the requirements for the 'ideal' bento box [10]. However, it makes the food packed within look so nice that it's worth the trouble on occasion. See how to take care of a wooden bento box [11].
There is a new book coming out soon by film critic Roger Ebert - a rice cooker cookbook [12] no less. Based on this post on his famous and very popuar blog [13], it looks to be quite an interesting read! (Note that he too favors Zojirushi rice cookers; he seems to like their most basic model [14].) Here is a New York Times article [15] about the book and Mr. Ebert, who hasn't been able to eat since losing his jaw to cancer, but still can write beautifully about food. And here's a Q and A with him [16]. His taste in food movies is, in my opinion, impeccable. (One of these days I'm going to write up an extensive, scene-by-scene cultural and culinaric analysis of Tampopo…)

Alexander Skarsgard Embraces Little Dom's!
Alexander Skarsgard shows off his toned arms while exiting Little Dom's Restaurant on Wednesday (October 31) in Los Angeles.
The 36-year-old True Blood actor was seen hugging a gal pal while hanging out at the restaurant.
PHOTOS: Check out the latest pics of Alexander Skarsgard
Alexander's co-star Carrie Preston recently talked about her character for the upcoming sixth season of True Blood.
"Yeah, she has kids, she's got the whole fourth husband thing. I would really love to see her interact with the vampires. I don't want a show about the bar – I'd like to be on a show about vampires! So I would really like to see just a little more interaction with that," Carrie shared. "I mean, I've never even done a scene with Alexander Skarsgard or Kristin Bauer! They're huge, these two huge vampires. I had scenes with Stephen [Moyer], who plays Bill, but that was in Season 1!"

Jason Witten's 2010 Red Zone Performance
Jonathan Bales
A couple days ago I posted a study detailing one of the reasons the Cowboys were successful in their 2010 red zone performance. I argued that Jason Garrett's first down play-calling more appropriately fit with advanced red zone statistics, namely that teams should run the ball more on first down only when inside their opponent's 10-yard line. The analysis was the result of a look back at a 2009 article in which I stated three ways by which the Cowboys could improve their red zone performance in the upcoming season.
In addition to first down play-calling, I also argued that the team needed to find Jason Witten more often while in the red zone. Witten's two touchdowns in 2009 were surpassed by a remarkable 21 tight ends that year. Even though touchdowns can be a fluky stat, there is no reason a player with the talent and size of Witten should ever have just a pair of touchdowns in a season.
At first glance of Witten's 2010 statistics, you might conclude the 'Boys did a better job of finding him in the red zone. Witten caught a career-high nine touchdowns, eight of which came in the red zone (the other one was 22 yards). On closer inspection, however, we see that Garrett targeted Witten only a bit more in the red zone in 2010 than in 2009, and not more at all as compared to the rest of the field.
Although Witten was out in a route on 77.5% of 2010 red zone plays (up from 69.4% in 2009), that rate is barely higher than the 76.2% of overall passing plays in 2010. The 'Boys were slightly more effective in the red zone when Witten was in a route, averaging almost a yard more per play and scoring on 27.2% of dropbacks.
Despite the success, Witten was actually targeted just 14 times in the red zone all season. That equates to just 19.7% of all red zone dropbacks–lower than the 20.9% overall rate at which Witten was targeted. Witten's low red zone target numbers means a ridiculous 57.1% of his red zone targets resulted in touchdowns. Incredible efficiency, but not nearly enough looks. Expect that to change in 2011.

DETROIT – Shane Victorino was already having quite a night at the plate when he became a bit greedy in right field Friday.
He picked up Miguel Cabrera's clean single and tried to throw the Detroit slugger out at first. Cabrera made it to the bag in time but on this night, it seemed Victorino was capable of anything.
"He looked at me. I said, 'Yeah, you better run,' " Victorino said. "We have kind of like a friendship, a camaraderie. He's a great player."
Victorino upstaged Cabrera a bit, hitting a homer and three singles to lead the Boston Red Sox to a 10-6 win over the Tigers. Victorino tied a career high with five RBI.
"I didn't even know what my career high was," Victorino said. "It's great. Any time you get four hits and five RBI, for a guy like me, you always get excited for it."
Cabrera hit a three-run homer for Detroit, which nearly rallied from a 6-1 deficit but couldn't come through against the Boston bullpen. Jon Lester (7-4) allowed five runs and nine hits in 52/3 innings but won for the first time in seven starts.
The Red Sox lost Thursday night in the ninth inning but their bullpen held the Tigers to one run Friday.
Doug Fister (6-5) allowed six runs and 11 hits in 3 1/3 innings.
"Doug wasn't at his sharpest but he didn't get any luck, either," Detroit Manager Jim Leyland said. "I'm not making any excuses for him but when they hit the ball hard, and they did hit some hard, they got a hit, and when they didn't hit the ball hard, they still got a hit."
Andy Dirks also homered for Detroit, and Cabrera had four hits.
Both teams came into the game amid upheaval in the bullpen after Andrew Bailey gave up a game-winning homer Thursay night to Jhonny Peralta of Detroit. The Tigers designated Jose Valverde for assignment and the Red Sox are giving Bailey a break from closing.
Boston got through the last 31/3 innings with Junichi Tazawa, Craig Breslow and Andrew Miller. Koji Uehara likely would have closed if the game had been tighter.
The Red Sox lead Baltimore by two games atop the AL East. Cleveland trimmed Detroit's AL Central lead to three.
Fister didn't strike out a batter, and Boston found seemingly every hole on the diamond against him. The Red Sox led 2-1 before coming up with six straight hits off Fister in the fourth. Jacoby Ellsbury's two-run double made it 4-1 and Victorino followed with a two-run single.
It was Victorino's first four-hit game since 2011. He opened the scoring with a solo homer in the first, although the Tigers tied it in the second on Brayan Pena's RBI single.
Dustin Pedroia's run-scoring groundout in the third gave Boston a 2-1 lead and the Red Sox added four in the following inning.
Detroit answered with four in the fifth. Dirks hit a solo shot, and Cabrera's 20th homer of the year made it 6-5 and upped his RBI total to 74.
"Probably throw the best change-up I've ever thrown in my life to a guy that's just on a whole other playing field," Lester said. "Wish he'd quit and go to a different league — make a league especially for him, I guess. I thought at first it was off the end of the bat, and apparently not."
Jose Iglesias tripled in the sixth and scored on a single by Victorino.
On Cabrera's third hit, a single to right in the seventh, Victorino tried to throw him out at first from the outfield. Cabrera beat the throw and appeared to laugh and yell something in Victorino's direction.
Victorino nearly had a fifth hit in the eighth. With the bases loaded and one out, Peralta fielded his slow chopper and tried unsuccessfully to get a force at home. Boston took an 8-5 lead on the play but it was ruled a fielder's choice and not a hit.
That was the first of two close plays at the plate that went Boston's way in the eighth. The second came when Al Alburquerque threw a wild pitch and came home to cover the plate. Pena retrieved the ball but Stephen Drew appeared to get his arm under Alburquerque's tag attempt, and the Red Sox took a 9-5 lead.
Boston added a run in the ninth thanks to an error by center fielder Avisail Garcia, which allowed Drew to score from first on a single by Iglesias.
Miller pitched the ninth for Boston, his first appearance at Comerica Park since he was traded from Detroit to Florida after the 2007 season as part of the deal that brought Cabrera to the Tigers. He gave up a single to Cabrera and an RBI grounder by Prince Fielder.
NOTES: Boston signed catcher Jon Denney, its third-round draft pick this year. The Red Sox also agreed to terms with four other draft picks: left-handers Corey Littrell, Jake Drehoff and Gabe Speier, and outfielder Jordon Austin. Detroit agreed to terms with two draft picks, left-hander Kevin Ziomek and right-hander Austin Kubitza.

PowerBilt has just launched the successor to the hugely popular Air Force One Driver, the new PowerBilt Air Force One Air Foil Driver will soon be shipping. Building upon the Nitrogen Charged Technology and what was learned from the original driver, PowerBilt has gone to a forged construction rather than cast, for better sound and feel. The center of gravity is lower, the club sets up more square at address, and has a more traditional head shape.
The Air Force One – Air Foil is the only club on the market with Nitrogen-Charged Technology, a patented process that involves filling the club head with nitrogen gas to provide weightless support of the face. This allows PowerBilt to build drivers, fairway woods, hybrids – and now irons – with the thinnest faces in golf without internal bracing. The benefit is greater distance plus improved accuracy due to an enlarged sweetspot.
PowerBilt also has a set of irons that will feature the Nitrogen Charged Technology.

I became an EMT so that I could pay it forward. When I was 21, I had two small children and was a widow, due to a tragic accident. I don't remember a lot about the day my husband was killed, but the one thing that I do remember was an EMT held my hand, hugged my neck and stayed with me until my family got to hospital. The very same EMT came to the funeral to pay respect.
Three years later my, mother was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer and died. Once again, I had another experience with another EMT.
In the fall of 2006, I was the stay-at-home mother of two boys – Matt, 12, and Mason, 4. With my youngest child starting kindergarten the following year, I felt it was time for me to think about going back to work. Most of my work experience was in retail, and frankly, I had no desire to return to it. This was a new opportunity to me, and I wanted a career – not just a job, but a career that would set a good example for my boys and make them proud of their mom.

It only takes watching the 6 o' clock news or picking up a copy of the newspaper on any given day to find out that some sort of violence has taken place somewhere in the county, state, country or some other part of the world.
But what if violent tendencies were not limited to just select members of the population? What if every individual in the world gave in to thoughts and acts of violence? One local author considered that fact, and wrote a book in which such an apocalyptic situation becomes real.
Jackie Summers has never been on a hot air balloon ride before, so she added that to her bucket list. On the morning of April 13 she got her wish.
