10 Foods to Never Eat
Drop that spoon! Everyone deserves the occasional indulgence, but before you dig in there are a handful of foods you should steer clear of to avoid damaging effects on your body, skin, and waistline. Here, experts weigh in on 10 foods to push off your plate for good.

That store-bought frosting from a tub might taste great on cakes and cookies, but it's packed with problems. "It's one of the only items in the grocery store that still has trans fats, which are terrible for your health and waistline," says Melina Jampolis, MD, physician nutrition expert and coauthor of The Calendar Diet. "Trans fat raises bad cholesterol, lowers good cholesterol, and causes inflammation, which can lead to belly fat and diseases ranging from heart disease to diabetes." On top of that, tub frosting is loaded with sugar, and high-sugar diets contribute to premature wrinkles. Yikes.

If you're prone to skin problems and tempted to grab a bagel before you go in the morning, think twice. "Bagels have a massively high glycemic index, which increases insulin and leads to increased inflammation in the body, which is shown to possibly accelerate aging and worsen acne and rosacea," says dermatologist Dr. Elizabeth Tanzi, codirector of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery in Washington, DC. Opt for an English muffin with peanut butter instead.
Chris Fanning
Processed Baked Goods
So convenient, so tasty (if we're being honest here), but so not worth it. Those pre-packaged mini muffins, doughnuts, and dessert cakes will add tons of calories and loads of unwanted sugar to your diet, plus they aren't easy to digest. "These foods are bad on so many levels, because they are filled with high sugar content and preservatives for a longer shelf-life — they can literally sit there forever," says Dr. Tanzi. "Sugar increases inflammation in the skin, which on top of irritating acne and rosacea, can make you look puffy and bloated. Skip the wrapped stuff and grab fresh fruit for a sweet fix instead.
Bryan McCay
Dietitians and doctors all agree: Soda should be nixed from your diet completely. "One can of soda is like a can of water with 10 packets of sugar in it," says nutritionist Bonnie Taub-Dix, MA, RD, CDN, and director and owner of BTD Nutrition Consultants, LLC. "The recommended amount of daily sugar for a woman is about six teaspoons or 24 grams, and soda has way more than that." Good old fashion H2O is still your best option. If you want to jazz it up, add a slice of fresh fruit for flavor.
Brian Klutch
Sugary Cereal
A bowl of Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops, or Cap'n Crunch might taste like nostalgia, but it'll wreak some havoc with its high amount of inflammation-causing sugar and gluten content. "For some people with sensitive skin, gluten can exacerbate breakouts, leading to increased redness and, yes, more breakouts," says Dr. Tanzi. Opt for low-sugar, gluten-free options like Rice Chex and Corn Flakes.
Stick Margarine
Choose a small amount of regular butter or soft spread over stick-shaped margarine when topping foods or baking, says Taub-Dix. "Margarine is usually loaded with trans fat," she says. Don't forget that stick margarine is found in plenty of pastries, crackers, snack foods, and even microwave popcorn, so limit intake to keep cholesterol levels in check.
Jarred Tomato Sauce
It's easy to forget sources of sugar when you're making recipes that aren't traditionally considered sweet, but they do exist. Tomato sauce is a big culprit, says Dr. Tanzi. "Make your own, because the store stuff has a ton of sugar."
Noshing on bacon as a side for breakfast, as a topping for salads, or as an addition to your sandwich? Bad habit. "I know it's only 45 calories a strip, but it is really high in fat, sodium, and the preservative sodium nitrate," says Taub-Dix. Veggies or a few nuts are better options for a crunch, and won't create such problems for your heart and digestive system. You're better off avoiding it, but if you must have a little bacon? "Stick to half a strip to crumble on foods like salads and sandwiches," Taub-Dix says.
Peter Ardito
Maraschino Cherries
This preserved fruit might turn up in your cocktail or on your sundae. Start choosing the real deal over sugar-packed, processed maraschino cherries. "These have artificial colors, like red-40 and red-3 dyes, that add no nutritional value," says Taub-Dix.
Peter Ardito
Soy Sauce
Soy sauce is low in calories and has some good vitamins and minerals like riboflavin and vitamin B-6, but the extremely high sodium content will leave you bloated and at risk for conditions like hypertension. "There are so many low-sodium, lighter soy sauce options, there's no reason to buy the regular stuff anymore," says Taub-Dix. Yet she still recommends using the light stuff sparingly. "A tablespoon of the low-sodium soy sauce is about 600 milligrams of sodium instead of 900, so it is less but not none."
Just Say No
Kick these "so not worth it" foods off your plate for good.

Home > Who We Are > News > Signs of concussion may exist long after hard hit
Published on June 13, 2013
We've heard the dangers of athletes and concussions and now a new study says in young people, it's the second or third concussion that can be the most dangerous.
Dr. Wesley Mills wasn't surprised by this new research and says concussions can be much more dangerous with children because their brain is still developing. He says one of the very important things parents can do is don't just watch your child's behavior and symptoms until they are allowed to return to play, but continue to watch them weeks after they are cleared.
Concussions and athletes; Whether talking about children or the pros, it's an issue that has become more prevalent in recent years.
"We really worry about this more with the kids because they're still growing and you have the complication of possibly having second impact syndrome," said Dr. Wesley Mills, a sports medicine physician.
Dr. Mills says second impact syndrome can occur with a second or third concussion and can be fatal, meaning parents need to keep an even closer eye on their children after a head injury.
Researchers believe the average athlete needs up to two weeks to stop having symptoms from the first concussion. In the new study children and young adults who had just suffered their second concussion took an average of 35 days to get back to normal.
The most important finding in this study is that the two week recovery period is probably not appropriate after the first concussion. Dr. Mills says this is why it's so important for children to gradually get back into physical activity after concussions and head injuries.
"Basically its a greater progression back to playing sports so you know we might have you doing jogging activities, then sports related activities and then after a while maybe some hitting and contact activities," said Dr. Mills.
Dr. Mills said some of the main symptoms parents need to keep an eye out for in the weeks following a concussion are headaches, nausea, vomiting and memory issues and that if your child continues to experience these, to go back to the doctor.

Athens, Greece-based artist HOPE is well-known for his use of large-format collaged pieces, both in the streets and in the gallery. Taking the ruins of the classical sculptures of his homeland, HOPE returns these images to decaying buildings, using large stickers applied outdoors. Though he found his fame in the streets of Athens, the mixed-media artist has been transitioning towards exhibiting his works more indoors, both in decrepit public spaces and in white-walled galleries. Describing his style of using and remixing classical and recognizable sculpture, HOPE says, "My works are marked by mythology. They are sculptural images inspired from the past with a new aesthetic rule."
HOPE continues, "What interests me about street art and public art, in general, is that it can exist as a forum/platform for dialogue. We live and think within the public space. When you place an artwork in the public domain, you're interacting with the public. This makes you think about the public order. You're given the opportunity to express your opinion politically and sociologically through a work, the longevity of which is determined according to the public opinion… But the main reason I got involved in street art was the feeling that I was creating an anti-monument, a new kind of creative model which escapes private places. Sometimes, when public art is effective, it can even change the world." (via artnau and yatzer)

- I've grown accustomed to being sticky all the time. I don't even try to figure out the source anymore.
- I will leave the house in much the same state as when I got up, bed head and all. More than once, I have found out later that part of my clothing was on inside out. On a good day, it's just my underwear.
- I no longer cringe at consuming partially eaten food off her plate, some bits I look forward to.
- I've used the car window as a hair dryer on my commute. And thought the resulting "style" looked okay.
- I have a remarkable threshold for caffeine that defies scientific reason.
- I've memorized every one of the Clifford books, and now make up new story lines just to amuse myself.
- I like watching Old School Sesame Street more than my child does.
- I have suddenly remembered all the lyrics to stupid childhood songs. And I thought that trick was only good for the theme song to Gilligan's Island.
- I will sing. In public. And this is frightening to all of us. Be afraid. Be very afraid.
- I can continue about my day no matter what and how much of a substance (usually, not always, food) has been spilled on me.
- I remembered how funny it is to fart out loud (yeah, in public) and shout, "I pooted!" while laughing.
- I have more fun than my child does when we play chase through the house. I worry about having to grow up and play dolls soon, 'cause that game will require me to think.
- I eat things off the floor even though I am the only one who knows just how filthy it is. We don't have a dog.

The Titans don't know who their quarterback of the future will be, but they're apparently bringing some help in for the present.
According to Jim Wyatt of the Tennesseean, the Titans are bringing former Cardinals quarterback John Skelton for a second visit today, which could be a prelude to signing him.
Skelton, who was in Bengals camp this summer, worked out for the Packers recently as well.
The Titans have gone with just Rusty Smith behind starter Ryan Fitzpatrick, and don't have a quarterback on the practice squad, so they could simply be adding an arm.
But they're also trying to hang onto some shred of relevance on the fringes of the AFC playoff race, and might want a more experienced guy behind their starter, after Jake Locker was lost for the season with a foot injury.

August 2012
HIV-positive African Americans with low vitamin D had more than a doubled risk of coronary artery disease in a study of 674 men and women in Baltimore, Maryland.1 Other traditional risk factors also raised the odds of coronary artery disease in these people, including high blood pressure, high low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and cocaine use.
As HIV-positive people live longer thanks to antiretroviral therapy, heart disease -- including coronary artery disease -- has become a more frequent cause of sickness and death. Traditional heart risk factors play a big role in higher heart disease rates among people with HIV. Taking certain antiretrovirals and HIV infection itself have also been linked to a higher risk of heart disease.
Some recent research suggests that low vitamin D levels may raise the risk of coronary artery disease.5 Vitamin D levels are often low in African Americans, partly because dark skin blocks the type of sunlight that helps make vitamin D in the body. Poor diet may also contribute to low vitamin D levels. African Americans have a higher death rate from coronary artery disease than other racial and ethnic groups in the United States.
Researchers in Baltimore planned this study to analyze the impact of vitamin D deficiency (low levels) and other heart risk factors on coronary artery disease in HIVpositive African Americans without known coronary artery disease or physical signs or symptoms of coronary artery disease.
The study involved 674 African-American adults in Baltimore who did not have coronary artery disease or symptoms of coronary artery disease. Everyone was 25 years old or older. The study did not include pregnant women or people with poor kidney function indicated by a glomerular filtration rate at or below 60 mL/min/1.73m2.
Study participants were interviewed to determine drug-use behavior, smoking habits, and other factors that may affect risk of coronary artery disease. Researchers measured everyone's lipids (blood fats), blood pressure, and vitamin D levels. Participants underwent computed tomography angiography, a scanning technique that creates a picture of coronary artery narrowing caused by build-up of plaques. The researchers defined significant coronary artery narrowing as 50% or greater narrowing.
The investigators used standard statistical methods to identify factors associated with significant coronary artery narrowing regardless of what other risk factors a person might have.
The study group included 427 men (63%) and 247 women (37%). Median age was 46 years. Study participants had taken antiretrovirals for a median of 25 months. Median time on protease inhibitors stood at 5.5 months, while few study participants had used nonnucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors. The group had a median CD4 count of 329 when the study began.
Median blood pressure stood at 117/73 mm Hg, below a target healthy blood pressure of 120/80 mm Hg. According to the Framingham score, which estimates heart disease risk, 355 of 427 men (83%) and 230 of 247 women (93%) had a low risk of coronary artery disease.
Median vitamin D level in study participants was 17 ng/mL. There were 135 people (20% of the study group) with vitamin D deficiency, defined as a level below 10 ng/mL. Among people whose vitamin D level was above 10 ng/mL, 7.7% had significant coronary artery narrowing. In contrast, 14.9% with a vitamin D level below 10 ng/mL had significant narrowing.
While 5.9% of people taking antiretrovirals for fewer than 6 months had significant coronary artery narrowing, 11.2% of those taking antiretrovirals for more than 6 months had significant narrowing. Rates of significant coronary artery narrowing were 7.7% in those who never used cocaine or used cocaine fewer than 15 years versus 12.5% in those who used cocaine for 15 years or more.
Statistical analysis that considered many coronary artery disease risk factors found seven factors that raised the risk of significant coronary artery narrowing regardless of whatever other risk factors a person had (Figure 1). A vitamin D level below 10 ng/mL more than doubled the odds of significant coronary artery narrowing. Joining the study group in more recent years (after 2005) lowered the risk of significant coronary artery narrowing.
Figure 1. Low vitamin D levels and other factors shown here independently raised the odds of significant coronary artery narrowing in a study of 674 HIV-positive African Americans. Joining the study group after 2005 lowered the odds of significant coronary artery narrowing (not shown in graph). BP, diastolic blood pressure; LDL, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; ART, antiretroviral therapy.

Speed Enforcement Training
Speed enforcement is an essential part of the NYSP effort to reduce deaths and injuries on the highway. As part of this commitment, the Basic School program includes thorough instruction for recruits in the special tools used by troopers in their speed enforcement efforts: RADAR, LIDAR and Time Distance Measurement instruments.
RADAR is the acronym for RAdio Detection And Ranging. It is the basic tool used by police officers everywhere to detect speeding violations. Each recruit trooper receives 30 hours of instruction in the proper setup, testing and operation of the radar instrument. Each radar operator also is required to demonstrate proficiency in visually estimating the speed of a vehicle.
LIDAR stands for LIght Detection And Ranging. This system uses laser technology to cast a concentrated beam of light on a moving target and detect its speed. The device has a big advantage over conventional radar in that it can target a single speeding vehicle in heavy, congested traffic conditions. LIDAR training requires an additional 36 hours of instruction beyond the basic RADAR course.
Speed Distance Measurement uses the formula "Distance Traveled/Time elapsed = Speed of Vehicle." Several devices use this principle, the most common now being the "Skytimer." This average speed computer is used by specially trained troopers riding in NYSP fixed-wing aircraft, who coordinate their efforts with patrol vehicles on the ground.
For more information see Traffic and Highway Safety Speed Enforcement.

In the collective farm Communism, in the Kokandskii distrct [Uzbek SSR], a determined struggle between Milidzhan Gafurovyi and his wife Rakhmalia-bibi Rustamova has been going on for the last few years. Rustamova threw off her veil, eliminated her illiteracy, works like a Stakhanovite in the collective farm, and was elected to serve as a brigade leader. With all his strength, Gafurov obstructed the political development of his wife by persecuting her and more than once threatening to kill her.
As an activist and public organizer, Rustmova was nominated and actively participated as a member of the electoral commission for the elections to the Supreme Soviet of the USSR.
Gafurov began to persecute his wife even more strongly, and forced her to leave the collective farm and stop her work in the electoral commission.
Realizing his powerlessness to force his wife to submit to his influence, Gafurov decided to commit a terrorist act. The first time, he tried to kill his wife at night in their apartment, but Rustamova saved herself by running away. The second time, during the drying of the cotton crop, Gafurov again attacked his wife with a knife. This time, she was saved by the intervention of other collective farmers.
The third time, December 12, 1937, on the election day for the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, when Rustamova as a member of the electoral commission and busy with work on the elections, Gafurov forced his way into the village soviet and demanded that Rustomova immediately quit everything and return home. Rustamova refused and went into the electoral commissions room. Following after her, Gafurov attacked his wife with a knife, but was restrained.
This matter was investigated on June 11-12 of this year [1938] in the village of Arzyk-Tepe, in the presence of the collective farms Military tribunal SAVO composed of acting military jurist second rank comrade Pensin and court members lieutenants Anisenko and Spichkin.
The court determined that Gafurov is a descendant of a kulak-bai family, was a merchant, and has for the last few years lived on the income of his wife. The court sentenced Gafurov to be executed.
The collective farm members attending the trial greeted the sentence with expressions of satisfaction.

Tampa correspondent
(785) 965-2285
Councilman Ty Peterson told city council members Feb. 4 that citizens of Tampa want to know why only one person has a key to the town's senior center. Mayor Tim Svoboda also said he had been asked the same question.
The council revisited their recent decision to change the locks on the senior citizen building. Phyllis and Rodney Mueller are in charge of maintaining the center and scheduling events there. They have the only key, but anyone needing to get in may ask them to open it. The council had decided previously that there were too many keys floating around and unauthorized people were entering the hall and not leaving it clean or occasionally even pilfering items from the building.
"I see no problem with the Muellers having the only key," Peterson said. "They just need to make arrangements with somebody when they are out of town for any reason."
Council members also have access to a senior citizen building key and can be contacted for admittance, if necessary.
Svoboda also told the council that he received a notice from the Marion County Commission that the county will no longer pay for the city recycling bin after April 30.
Council member David Rziha suggested the matter be tabled until the council can determine if there is a demand from residents for this continued service.

SpaghettiOs Contain A Full Serving Of Vegetables
Moms have a new reason to love SpaghettiOs canned pastas. Campbell Soup Co., Camden, N.J., brings this classic childhood favorite to market with recipes that meet the FDA and USDA criteria for healthy entrées, which means they are controlled for fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium and contain a significant level of at least two positive nutrients. The real surprise: They also provide a full serving of vegetables (1/2 cup) in every serving.
Over the past two years, Campbell has reduced sodium across its SpaghettiOs line up to 39 percent while maintaining the delicious taste families know and love. Campbell chefs were able to achieve a healthy level of sodium in the pastas by building on their sodium reduction expertise in soups, sauces and beverages.
According to the latest 2010 Dietary Guidelines committee report, only 25 percent of children ages 1-8 consume the recommended number of daily vegetable servings. SpaghettiOs start with ingredients such as vine-ripened tomatoes to give parents convenient and affordable ways to help their kids enjoy more vegetables in their diet.
Each serving also contains at least five essential nutrients such as vitamin A, calcium or fiber, and all plain (non-meat) varieties contain a full serving of grains. All Campbell's SpaghettiOs varieties have updated recipes and feature icons on the front of the label that simply communicate the benefits for moms.
"We know most kids enjoy eating SpaghettiOs as a main meal and not as a side dish. So we created a new recipe that meets all the criteria for a healthy entrée, but is still tasty and fun to eat," says Lisa Walker, vice president of Campbell's condensed soup, broth and Campbell's Kitchen.
Suggested retail price is $1.05 to $1.40.

Cowboys Cruise Past Coyotes 70-53
Riley Grabau scored a career-high 20 points to lead three Cowboys in double figures, as Wyoming pulled away from South Dakota for a 70-53 win Friday night at the Arena-Auditorium in Laramie. A 17-1 run by the Pokes midway through the first half keyed them to the victory.
Wyoming (4-1) received the second career double-double from Derek Cooke, Jr with 12 points and 11 rebounds, while Jeron Granberry added a season-high 12 points, as well. Cooke has now recorded 10 or more boards in three consecutive games.
The Cowboys jumped out to a 16-7 advantage before South Dakota trimmed the lead to two points, at 16-14, with 11:19 left. That's when Granberry and Charles Hankerson, Jr. keyed the 17-1 run over a 4:22 span. They combined to score 12 straight points, as UW built a 33-15 lead. They held a 40-27 edge at halftime.
Wyoming had a slow start to the second half. The Coyotes got within 40-33 thanks to an 11-2 spurt at the end of the first half and beginning of the second. Then the Cowboys responded and out-scored South Dakota 20-7 over the next 12 minutes for a 60-40 lead. They cruised to the 17-point win from there. It was UW's six win in the last seven meetings against the Coyotes.
The Cowboys shot 50 percent (23-46) from the field, which included 9-17 (52.9%) from 3-point range. They were 15-22 (68.2%) at the line and finished with 34 total rebounds, 14 assists and 11 turnovers.
South Dakota (0-3) struggled from the floor and shot only 31.7 percent (20-63). They were 6-24 (25%) from deep and only 7-10 at the charity stripe. The Coyotes were led by Brandon Bos with 12 points, while Tavian Pomlee added 10 off the bench. They grabbed 36 rebounds, had 11 assists and 10 turnovers.
Wyoming returns to action Monday night at 8th-ranked Ohio State. It will be the first meeting between the two schools since December 29, 1995 at the Cowboy Shootout in Casper. Tip-off in Columbus, Ohio is set for 5 p.m., Mountain time.

Boston, Massachusetts
Boston is the largest city and capital of Massachusetts, a state in the United States. It is the economic hub and educational center of the New England region. Boston was settled in 1630 by the English Puritans seeking freedom to practice their strict version of Protestantism. The city's fine harbor led it to become the main port of the New England colonies, and in the last quarter of the 18th century, it was a center of the movement for independence from Britain that led to the American Revolution.
Boston remained an economic center through the 19th century, both as a financial hub and as a port through which manufactured goods such as shoes and textiles were shipped. At the onset of the 20th century, the availability of cheaper labor in the Southern states led to a decline in New England manufacturing industries, and hard times for Boston as well. It continued however to be a center for advanced education, the city and its surrounding towns home to dozens of colleges and universities, allowing greater Boston to become a vital center of the technology industries that burgeoned in the last half of the 20th century.

How important are compulsory deposits, insurance, etc. to calculating Annual Percentage Rates (APRs)? I played around some more with the MFTransparency dataset on India I wrote my last post on to answer this question, and it seems the answer is, "it depends".
The Pricing Data Report looks at APR including deposits and APR including insurance, but in addition to this, the web portal offers APR figures that include neither, and that include both. It then becomes a trivial exercise to figure out how much compulsory deposits and insurance contribute to APR.
Intuitively Speaking …
The graph below is shows what happens when you calculate APR by including neither of, one of or both of the two constituents – deposits and insurance:
The red and blue columnar bars were presented before; the grey one is kind of a baseline without neither deposits or insurance, and the green one includes both. The error bars are the maximum and minimum.
By seeing how the red and blue bars change compared to the grey, we get an intuitive sense of what is going on. For co-ops, there is a small change of about 1% from the base 23% when you include insurance, but when you include deposits, it shoots up to 35%. On the other hand, for for-profit public MFIs, there is no difference from the base value of ~30% when you include deposits, but on including insurance, this moves up about 3%.
More Formally …
Fortunately, the MFT site allows you to download all the data and come up with precise numbers for what the differentials with respect to deposits and insurance. The graph above is built off of columns A, B, C and D from the table below. Columns E and F give us the differentials.
This tells us that:
- Co-ops charge an additional 1000+ basis points on top of interest and fees by taking compulsory savings and deposits
- For profit public MFIs charge an additional 250+ basis points on top of interest and fees by charging for insurance
- Other types of MFIs charge between ~100 and ~250 additional basis points on top of interest and fees through insurance and deposits
How's that for "it depends"?
This also goes to show why proper pricing is so important – if one were to look at the top line numbers reported for interest rates, one would very easily conclude that Co-ops were about 10% cheaper than other MFIs as a source of funds.
By the way, the "Unexplained" in the last column is essentially the difference between the kitchen-sink APR as reported by MFT, and the kitchen-sink APR that we get when we reconstruct it from its constituent parts. That all the numbers are less than 1% is a good sign – we're not missing some big chunk of data when we do the differentials.
Market Leveling
While there is a fair degree of divergence on what constitutes APR, it turns out that the averages for each type of organization is within a narrow band of 32.3% and 36.7%. Not surprising, since the Indian microfinance sector has many players and is increasingly saturated, leading to a leveling of the marketplace when it comes what a financial institution can charge a for a fairly similar service to a fairly similar market segment.
It would be interesting to see how the reported interest rates diverge from this APR, and hopefully that will be the topic of the next post.
Skin Your Own Cat
I'll briefly outline how to get the data I used to pull together the tables and graphs above, since it's a little involved:
- Go to: http://www.mftransparency.org/data/countries/in/data/
- Under Filter Graph Results on the right, select the kind of Calculation Method you want to use (there are four types – stick to one)
- Also under Filter Graph Results on the right, select the kind of Institution Type you want to use (there are six types)
- Make sure the Loan Size and Number of Clients boxes are empty (the site fills them up with some defaults – this may filter your results. Also, do not press "All" button under the graph – it reverts to some kind of default …)
- Hit Filter Graph
- From the page that comes up, select the table only, and paste it into an Excel worksheet As Text
- Go back to step 3, choose another kind of institution and follow steps to #6, pasting in a new worksheet
- Once all institution types are done, go back to step 2, choose another calculation method, then go through #3 to #7
- Once all calculation methods are done, throw in your formulae in Excel
Yes, you will have to pull in 24 feeds from the site to get all the data, so take care as you consolidate data. Wouldn't it be nice if you could have one extra column for institution type, and then a column each for each of the types of APR calculations.. Probably wouldn't fit on the website, but that being available even as a CSV would have made life so much easier.
I should also note that the numbers I got from the raw data are slightly different than the average, maximum and minimum values that are in the report, but I couldn't tell you why.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The right-wing powerhouses of the Israeli political scene might not have done as well as many hoped in the recent election, but that doesn't mean Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu failed to achieve his goal by calling an early vote.
Professor Gideon Rahat, an expert on Israeli politics at the Israel Democracy Institute and the Hebrew University, told Israel Today that "Likud lost the election, but Netanyahu won."
Asked why Likud and its partner Israel Beiteinu Party lost so many mandates, Prof. Rahat said Israelis have been searching for a viable centrist option since at least 1977.
That's why Yair Lapid's centrist Yesh Atid (There is a Future) did so well, at the expense of both the right and left.
When it comes to economics, "most Israelis want socialism over capitalism," said Rahat. But Israelis also realize that unrestrained socialism means most of their taxes go to support sectors of society that largely fail to contribute - namely the ultra-Orthodox Jews and the Arabs.
When it comes to security and the peace process, "most Israelis see that [the Palestinians] don't want real peace, but Israelis also don't want to rule over the Palestinians," Rahat continued.
These two factors drive voters to centrist options like Yesh Atid, which ran on a platform of sensible socialist economic policies and a cautious approach to peace-making with the Palestinians.
All that said, Netanyahu still came out as "the only real option for prime minister," explained the professor.
"Netanyahu is in a very good strategic position," said Rahat. "He can make a coalition with Yesh Atid and the center, but threaten to pull out and form a new coalition with the right if his partners don't go along with him.He has several options."

Sorry I've been away from the old keyboard for a bit. About two weeks ago I came down with something like a head cold on steroids. Headache, sinus pressure, a small cough and the usual "Yuck!" By the time my wife and I would get home from work in the afternoons the only thing I would be good for was the couch. It hurt to think much less actually put thoughts to paper (or screen, as the case may be!)
But even when I'm sick, there is one thing I still can do. Read. So here's a brief recap of what I've been reading since the last time I put fingers to plastic.
I finished the fourth book in Dean Koontz's Frankenstein series, "Lost Souls," in which we meet the third incarnation of Victor Frankenstein, Victor Immaculate. By far the worst of the three, he is even scarier because his views are the same as certain groups of very radical environmentalists today. You might think that there couldn't be anything funny about this book, but you'd be wrong. Koontz's pairing of characters and the situations he places them in bring forth some of the best dialog you'll ever read. Trust me on this. The fifth and final book in the series, " The Dead Town," is ready and waiting for me to finish two other books I'm now reading.
One of which is Eugene Peterson"s "Eat This Book." My Christian friends will recognize Peterson as the author of "The Message." Some think "The Message" is another paraphrase of the Bible but it describes itself as a "contemporary rendering of the Bible from the original languages, crafted to present its tone, rhythm, events, and ideas in everyday language." Now, in "Eat This Book," Peterson discusses the best ways to read this amazing book called the Bible. He stresses that we should try to avoid "atomizing" it, chopping it down into little factoids or proof texts for our pet positions. He spends a lot of words exploring a type of spiritual reading called "lectio divina" which has come down to us from ancient Christians. It's a wonderful, encouraging read.
Finally, I'm reading the second in Thomas Cahill's "The Hinges of History" series, titled "The Gifts of the Jews: How a Tribe of Desert Nomads Changed the Way Everyone Thinks and Feels." I read his first volume "How the Irish Saved Civilization" last year and was completely charmed by it. This volume is equally well-written and fascinating. Even if you're not a person of faith, you owe much to this bunch of desert dwellers. Without their beliefs and ideas, the way we view ourselves and our world would not be possible.
Well, that's it for now. There are plenty of other books lined up for this year as well. I need to put together some sort of reading plan, but since organization has never been one of my strong suits I won't promise anything. But I will promise to try to be better about getting to the keyboard. Once I'm feeling better.
Better spray your screen with Lysol for now.

Davidson College has a long history of encouraging students to explore a call to religious leadership and service in congregational and other ministry settings.
The Chaplains' Office hosts on-campus visits from theological school representatives and coordinates a ministry fellows program to enable rising seniors of any religious tradition to explore leadership in a congregational setting.
The Preministerial Committee, composed of faculty and staff, also offers opportunities for students to learn about graduate theological education and explore their sense of vocation to religious leadership and service.
Theological education at a seminary or divinity school is conducted explicitly in a context of faith and religious tradition, with emphasis placed on preparing students to serve as clergy in congregations or other ministry contexts (such as a hospital or military chaplain). Graduate study in religion is like graduate study in any other field such as English, math, or psychology. A student may bring his or her religious faith to the study of the material, but it is not seen as integral to the educational experience by the institution.
A seminary is an independent theological institution that sees its primary mission as the training of men and women for the ordained ministry. Most seminaries are affiliated with a particular denomination (Episcopal, Methodist, Presbyterian, etc.), but some are not. Almost all seminaries welcome students of denominations other than the one with which the institution is affiliated. A divinity school, like a seminary, is a theological institution preparing men and women for ordained ministry, but it is directly related to a university. Divinity schools may or may not be directly affiliated to a particular denomination. Many divinity schools have students who are not studying specifically for ordained ministry but rather plan to go into teaching or other careers.
In most mainline denominations, the Masters of Divinity (M.Div.) (for Christian students) or a Masters in Hebrew Literature (for Jewish students) is required for ordination. This degree usually involves a course of three to four years of study after the bachelors degree. It is not simply an academic degree (like a Master of Arts) but rather a professional degree (like a J.D. or M.D.) which includes in its curriculum practical, supervised ministry experience as well as classroom study.
Yes. Most seminaries and divinity schools offer a variety of degrees. These include:
Students come to theological schools from a variety of educational and employment backgrounds. While majoring in religious studies is always a good option, most theological schools basically seek applicants with a broad educational background in the humanities. A major in Classics, English, Psychology or Philosophy is appropriate. A major in the sciences would also be good preparation, as long as you develop your writing skills and your ability to analyze literary texts and abstract ideas. Undergraduate courses in Greek (e.g., Greek 318: New Testament Greek), Hebrew, philosophy and psychology are also recommended.
Theological schools generally have high academic standards and expect students to engage in rigorous academic study as well as practical training for ministry. Theological schools also understand that persons seeking a theological education are primarily interested in being well-educated clergy rather than scholars working in specialized fields in academia. Therefore, while a solid educational background is essential, one need not necessarily have the stellar grades required for highly competitive graduate programs in other fields. Moreover, the articulation of one's sense of call and good recommendations from professors and clergy are given strong consideration along with one's grades.
This varies from school to school. Some require the GRE; many do not require any standardized test scores. Check the admissions information in catalogues of schools you are considering for specific requirements.
The answer is individual for each person and may depend in part on what your denomination requires. Some college seniors have a strong sense of calling and feel ready to go straight into theological education. Others want to take a year or two away from academia so that they will have some experience of the "working world" that congregation members come from. Still others want to spend a year or two in a community service or ministry-oriented internship, either to get experience or to test their sense of call. Many people entering theological school are "second career" students who have worked at a job for 10-20 years and now feel called to the ministry. If you go to theological school straight out of college, you can count on being in classes with many people who are older than you.
Many theological schools subsidize their students' educational expenses, so tuition tends to be lower for theological education than for many other professional graduate programs. Most theological schools offer merit-based and need-based financial aid packages; these vary from institution to institution, so be sure to research the assistance offered by those in which you are interested. A few independent foundations, such as the Omaha Presbyterian Seminary Foundation, give generous financial assistance to qualifying applicants. Moreover, it is worth exploring whether your denomination or congregation offers aid to theological students. It is imperative that you apply as early as possible for financial aid, as most scholarship competitions have deadlines. Tuition and living expenses can vary widely between theological institutions (depending in part on geographical location and endowment size), so if finances are an issue for you, be sure to compare the costs of schools in which you are interested.

5 Simple Super Bowl Snacks
I'm not a big football fan. However, if I'm going to force myself to watch one football game a year, it's going to be the Super Bowl. There are only two good things about the Super Bowl: Food and Commercials. If it wasn't for those two things my life would be blissfully free of football.
Since I live in a house full of football lovers, I find myself making game day goodies every Super Bowl to satisfy all the rabid little mouths that are glued to the TV for hours on end. I thought that this year I would share a few of the easy snacks I make on this oh so holy of football Sunday.
Take some mini burger buns, add mini burgers and smash some cheese, onions and pickles in the middle. Cute and delicious.
Buffalo wings
Toss wings and thighs into a crockpot with minced onion, buffalo sauce and barbecue sauce. Set the crockpot on high for about four hours and then set it on low before the game starts. Be sure to have ranch or blue cheese on hand for dipping.
Take precooked meatballs and toss them in a crockpot with some grape jelly and barbecue sauce. Keep them on warm and enjoy all day.
Little smokies
All you need is a bottle of barbecue sauce and a package of cocktail weenies tossed in a crockpot on warm and they will be ready to snack on throughout the game.
Loaded nachos
Take your favorite tortilla chips, cover them in Velveeta and nuke them in the microwave for a few seconds. Garnish with onions, green chilis, jalapenos, tomatoes, olives, beans, corn or burger.

text: What kind of security is recommended for the owner of a small personal cluster? Where should the owner of a small, personal cluster go to learn about security? Doing searches tends to give a few "head in the sand" sites but predominantly seem to be oriented for the security professional. I maintain a small 3 node personal cluster used for my part-time PhD studies in chemistry. So far I've just kind of been hoping that I'm too small to bother with and that the firewalls (Linux and switch) between my boxes and the cable internet do something. I do use ssh for cluster communications, and have disabled the reknowned unstable services such as ftp. RGB mentioned running services on non-standard ports. This seems like a good idea to further reduce the probability of successful attack. I'll look into this in a couple weeks when I'm laid off and will have more time on the IT side of things. Are there any good sites aimed at the small user to slowly learn a little bit about security? Or are the only choices to do security full-time or forget about it entirely? What sorts of security do other here have on their personal clusters? Is maybe the simplest idea to just disable TCP/IP across the internet network while not in use and enable it when it needs to be up? Thanks, Mark E. Kosmowski

Book now for Voluntary Action's 2018 conference on Tuesday, April 10
Charity: the new welfare state? is the theme of this year's annual conference hosted by Voluntary Action South West Surrey, in conjunction with the University of Surrey's Students' Union. It takes place at the university's Stag Hill campus on Tuesday, April 10, from 9.15am to 4.30pm.
Voluntary Action's chief officer, Carol Dunnett, said: "As austerity continues and public spending tightens both the statutory and the voluntary sector face tough challenges in delivering services.
"We also have major changes to the welfare benefits system being introduced this autumn, nationally homelessness and child poverty is increasing and of course we have Brexit looming on the horizon.
"Against this back drop voluntary sector organisations are increasingly being asked to fill the gaps left by contracting public services, charities report that the demand for services is rising, and people's problems are becoming more complex and harder to solve.
"What are the implications of this for the sector when we are also facing reductions in funding, and fundraising is becoming ever more difficult? Can and should charities be replacing vital public services and what are the consequences for vulnerable people living in Surrey?"
"Join us for our 2018 conference where we will be discussing these issues, looking at the problems, discussing ways forward, new ways of working and how the sector should be responding."
A variety of speakers have already been confirmed, and include Debra Allcock Tyler, the chief executive of the Directory of Social Change; Joanna Killian, the chief executive of Surrey County Council; Jo Cookes, the director of communities engagement at the Diocese of Guildford; and Joanne Tester, the chief executive of Guildford Action.
There will also be a number of workshops all designed to follow through on the conference theme, as Carol Dunnett describes:
"If you are looking to try and influence policy and improve things for your beneficiaries choose Building a Better Society; which is all about campaigning and lobbying.
"Or sign up for A Happier Healthier Guildford – Have your Say, with Guildford Borough Council.
"If you want to get attention for your cause go to local journalist David Rose's workshop on Engaging with the Media.
"If you need more money for your group then Helen Linnell's workshop Perfect Pitch on writing better funding proposals should help.
"Involving volunteers is vital to running most voluntary sector services so we have two workshops on different aspects of volunteering plus one titled Measuring the Impact, to see how you are making through your volunteering programme.
"Maria Zealey from the Surrey Welfare Rights Unit will be outlining the changes to the Welfare Benefits System, a vital workshop if you want to understand the challenges faced by anyone on a low income.
Everyone is talking about GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) at the moment – are you ready, should you be worrying? Alex Tolley from the University of Surrey will give you the lowdown and hopefully put your mind at rest.
"Strong and successful organisations need good governance and so we have a workshop specifically for trustees run by Helen Harvie, an expert in charity law."
Places must be booked in advance (see link below) and cost £20 full price, £15 for volunteers, free for small groups with annual incomes under £5,000. Email email@example.com to book a free place.
A light lunch and refreshments will be included.

Hard-working volunteer rewarded for his dedication with care and compassion
A hard-working volunteer has been rewarded for his dedication with a two-night stay by Room to Reward, a hospitality charity created to give something back to those who do so much, for so many, and ask for nothing in return.
Volunteer Jason Wiggins was initially referred to the Welcome to Volunteering project, co-ordinated by Voluntary Action South West Surrey.
The project gives invaluable one-to-one support to people across the boroughs of Guildford and Waverley to access volunteering opportunities.
It helps people who wish to volunteer their time, skills and services, but who often need additional support to make that happen.
Lorraine Yates from Welcome to Volunteering has supported Jason, finding him additional volunteering roles to those he has already been involved in.
Lorraine said: "Jason spoke at Voluntary Action's 2017 conference and at our annual meeting advocating the mental and physical benefits of volunteering.
"He is a well-respected, reliable and committed volunteer. He supports other vulnerable volunteers with care and compassion. He truly deserves this award, for the selfless way in which he supports local organisations and his community."
In fact, Jason has volunteered in numerous roles over many years. He is currently volunteering in a charity shop in Godalming where he was a founder member of the team.
He also runs a user-led mental health support group. Jason set up this group when the funding and resources were withdrawn because he recognised the need and wanted it to continue.
Jason also supports the running of a weekly drop-in for people experiencing mental ill health issues.
Lorraine said: "He always arrives on time, is happy and cheerful and always on-hand to support members of the group in their hour of need. He shows genuine compassion and empathy towards everyone he meets."
Voluntary Action South West Surrey's recent Big Lottery funding success will allow it to continue its Welcome to Volunteering project for another five years.
For more details of the Welcome to Volunteering project and how it may help you or someone you know, contact co-coordinator Lorraine Yates on 07775 556772.

Tuesday brought Paul Tagliabue's ruling on the suspensions to players issued by the NFL as part of the punishment for the Saints' bounty program and the ruling brought plenty to talk about.
All angles will be covered during Pro Football Talk on NBC Sports Network on Tuesday afternoon. Erik Kuselias, Mike Florio, Shuan King and Ross Tucker will all be on hand to discuss Tabliabue's decision to vacate the suspensions while also backing up the league's view that a bounty program was in place with the Saints. They'll also talk about what the ruling means for Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma's defamation case against NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
From there, attention will turn back to the field. The crew will take an early look at this week's slate of games, focusing on two games that will serve as a "Prelude to the Playoffs." The Steelers' trip to Dallas and the NFC North battle between the Bears and Packers will be on tap for that part of the discussion.
It all gets started at 5 p.m. ET on NBC Sports Network.

The Secretary's Office of Global Women's Issues (S/GWI) launched its first small grants initiative in 2009 to fund projects that promote women's political, economic, and social advancement in developing countries. These projects promote self-reliance and foster development for non-governmental organizations, schools, community groups, and local associations to advance women's political, economic, and social rights. One of my responsibilities as a program officer in S/GWI is to monitor and evaluate the programs we fund.
On a recent monitoring and evaluation trip to Suriname, we met with the Women's Business Group, a recipient through the Small Grants Initiative. Their eco-tourism project trains 200 women from the capital of Suriname and seven districts of the interior in business development skills to engage in the eco-tourism market of the country. Program participants are learning how to produce and market artisan crafts and clothing made from local resources.
What was striking to me was seeing how the men in these communities fully support women's participation in the program. The village of Boto Pasi, like many other villages in the interior, conveys a positive example of gender equality and community unity.
A gleeful welcoming committee that comprised all the women participants in the project were waiting to greet us when we arrived. In an unusual move, the three "Chief Captains" of the 12 villages within the interior met with us and personally thanked us for the Small Grants funding and the training that is empowering women in their villages. This is an important signal to the community that the project has support from key leadership. We discussed the successes of the project and had the opportunity to observe segments of the training program, including the creation of eco-friendly handicrafts.
This grant is making an important impact in the community that will last beyond the conclusion of the project. With these newly learned skills, women are able to earn money to support their families, and to gain literacy and numeracy skills. In addition, they will contribute to the economic growth of their communities.
Next stop Nicaragua! The vibrant women's civil society community of Nicaragua is fully invested in addressing many women's issues.
The project in Nicaragua is with MAM (Movimiento Autonomo de Mujeres) and CISAS (Center for Information and Advice in Health Services.) This project increases women's political participation through education about the democratic institutions in the country and the importance of voting, and encouraging women to be more politically engaged. We met with women political leaders and our grantee to discuss the issues that women in Nicaragua face when they are excluded from decision-making processes. The thought-provoking conversation gave us an opportunity to explain similar issues that women in other countries have faced and to share effective solutions to address these obstacles.
As MAM strives for political justice, other organizations are also working to address sexual and gender-based violence. We met with survivors of violence, many of whom were young teenagers. These brave women shared their personal fight to overcome serious instances of abuse. Thanks to their time in safe havens and the availability of counseling, these women are creating networks of healthy dialogue to work through injustices that have befallen them, and are becoming stronger survivors. Most of the women are now enrolled in school and starting new businesses to provide sustainable income for themselves and their families.
Final stop, Belize City, Belize. Our first meeting was with U.S. Ambassador Vinai K. Thummalapally, Belizean government officials from the Ministry of Human Development, and the head of the UNDP Foundation. We addressed possible opportunities for the United States and Belize to build partnerships to increase women's access to economic opportunities in Belize and to identify solutions to prevent sexual and gender-based violence.
Afterward, we met with the Women's Issues Network (WIN) Belize and WIN Belize's two project partners, Youth Enhancement Services (YES) and the Haven House. The WIN Belize project provides safe havens to women who have been victims of domestic violence and provides support and services for child victims of sexual exploitation. We toured the YES portion of the program, which provides the only safe haven for at-risk teens in Belize. YES is providing vocational, literacy, and numeracy training and counseling to the teens, as well as providing guidance to their families. The other partner, Haven House, is operating one of the only two domestic violence shelters that provides safe haven counseling and connects survivors to medical services in Belize City.
Meetings with partners for this grant allowed us to understand the hard work and dedication each volunteer gives to participants. There is a desperate need for support systems. The benefits of these programs extend throughout the community and are of immeasurable value.
The successes of the Small Grants Initiative in three different countries demonstrate the great impact small amounts of assistance can have in changing women's lives. Many of the issues women face are not specific to one country or one people. Effective community programs, such as the ones we saw in Suriname, Nicaragua, and Belize, are critical to tackling the larger issues women face around the world.
