Science journal challenges Harper to defend research cuts
A prestigious scientific journal has challenged the Harper government to explain millions of dollars worth of cuts to environmental research programs and funding.
In a new editorial, the journal Nature recognized the federal government has increased spending on science and technology in recent years, but warned that cuts to specific programs were undermining "vital sectors of Canadian science" without explanation.
"Governments come and go, but scientific expertise and experience cannot be chopped and changed as the mood suits and still be expected to function," said the editorial. "Nor can applied research thrive when basic research is struggling."
The editorial comes a week after scientists staged a mock funeral outside of Parliament to denounce what they called the "death of evidence" following government decisions to cut millions of dollars in funding for federal research and monitoring programs such as the Experimental Lakes Area, a natural laboratory used to study water pollution. The government also denied new funding to preserve the Polar Environment Arctic Research Lab in the North.
The editorial noted that the critics are accusing the government of "targeting research into the natural environment because it does not like the results being produced."
"If the Harper government has valid strategic reasons to undermine vital sectors of Canadian science, then it should say so — its people are ready to listen," said the editorial. "If not, it should realize, and fast, that there is a difference between environmentalism and environmental science — and that the latter is an essential component of a national science program, regardless of politics."
Gary Goodyear, the junior federal minister for science and technology, declined an interview request but emailed Postmedia News a statement noting that the government has increased overall spending on science and technology, but makes no apologies for making the economy, jobs and long-term prosperity a priority.
"Across government we have found efficiencies and introduced measures to reduce federal spending to return to balanced budgets," Goodyear said in the statement. "We have done this while continuing to invest in key priority areas."

Welsh Rarebit with Roasted Tomatoes Recipe
Classic british dishes updated for the modern American cook.
This version of rarebit is designed to be a quick meal or snack, and if you don't have the time or energy to roast some tomatoes, a simple green salad or even some pickles would make a great fast side.
Read more: British Bites: Welsh Rarebit with Roasted Tomatoes
- Yield:Serves 4
- Active time: 15 minutes
- Total time:30 minutes
- 4 small tomatoes, tops sliced off
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup beer
- 2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 eggs
- 4 slices sourdough bread, toasted
Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat to 375°F. Place tomatoes in a baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and roast until tomatoes are soft, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, place beer in a 1 quart microwavable dish and microwave on high until just simmering, about 2 minutes. Toss the shredded cheese with flour, mustard, and cayenne pepper.
Add half of the cheese mixture to the beer and stir to combine. Return to microwave and cook on high for 1 minute; remove from heat, add the rest of the cheese and mix well. Return to microwave for 1 minute, then remove and add Worcestershire and season to taste with salt and pepper. Sauce should be smooth and thick.

Marie Tate,
Marshall Space Flight Center, Huntsville, Ala.
Scientist representative fills many shoes for Station experimenters
April 2004
-- Judy Marie Tate has so many shoes that if she could walk to the
International Space Station, 240 miles up, she seemingly could swap
out her footwear every mile along the way. Last November, Tate took
a big step, packing up her shoes and moving away from her family
and friends in Houston to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in
Huntsville, Ala., to coordinate Space Station activities with scientists
and ground teams.
She laughed, saying her
passion for shoes is "genetically" inherited from her
mother, as is her work ethic. "My mother always told me that
anything you do is a direct reflection of the person you are,"
Tate said. "I hope that what I'm doing now shows my love of
science and finding out new things. That's why I'm always looking
to do my best in helping carry out the science mission on the Space
Tate is the
first African-American woman to support Space Station science activities
as a lead increment scientist representative, called a "LIS
rep," acting as the liaison between the lead increment scientist
at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston and the Payload Operations
and Integration Center at Marshall that plans Space Station science
Although her new job
kept her from home and Mom's gumbo last Christmas, Tate is happy
she volunteered for her yearlong adventure. "I've always liked
to do things that weren't easy," Tate recalled. "I loved
to read as a kid, and science challenged me. If others thought it
was hard, I wanted to do it."
Her mother, Julia Cash,
who now lives outside Houston in Hitchcock, raised Tate and her
older brothers James and Troy. She graduated from LaMarque High
School, just south of Houston. With the entire family pitching in
to help with the finances and moral support, Tate went on to become
the first person in her family to graduate from college.
"I was taught that
I could accomplish anything I wanted to if I worked hard, no matter
what people thought of me," said Tate. "I have stuttered
since I was able to talk, hence most people assumed I could not
answer. Because of this, I have always had to prove myself when
doing any job. The nurturing environment I was raised in taught
me not to let my stuttering hinder my ability to succeed."
After graduating
with a bachelor's degree in biology from Southwest Texas State University
in San Marcos, Tate became a research assistant at the University
of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. She studied the deficient
immune systems of premature babies to fight bacterial and fungal
infections. Tate enjoyed the research, and contributed to several
professional articles about the research. But when the grant money
ran out, Tate still wanted to work in research, and that's when
she found herself working with the most sophisticated laboratory
ever built -- the International Space Station.
By 2000, Tate
had completed her master's degree in biology from the University
of Houston-Clear Lake, and signed on with the Lockheed Martin Corporation,
a NASA contractor. At NASA's Johnson Space Center, Tate planned
the science experiments and cargo, called payloads that would eventually
travel to the Space Station. But in November 2002, Tate was given
the opportunity to work with the science research as it is being
conducted on the Station. The only catch: the job required relocating
to Alabama.
"I thought
this was a great opportunity for me to expand my science knowledge
and allow me to work in a different environment," said Tate.
So she moved to Huntsville
to a two-bedroom apartment -- to make room for all of her shoes,
which she keeps in original boxes, so she'll remember where she
bought them, or who gave them to her.
Working at the Payload
Operations Center -- the command post at the Marshall Center for
all science activities aboard the Space Station -- Tate determines
what experiments are given priority when issues arise, and makes
sure all science research is completed. "The environment here
is always changing," Tate said. "Every day when I come
to work there are new situations, and there is always something
different going on. Nothing is routine."
Although she would some
day like to have an experiment of her own on the Space Station,
she has no desire to go into space to conduct them herself.
"I'm a perfectionist,
but I'm willing to let someone else 'fill my shoes' as a scientist
and conduct experiments in space for me," she said. "I'd
be happy just to watch the pictures of my experiment from down here
on Earth."

Diabetes mellitus occurs when the pancreas doesn't make enough or any of the hormone insulin, or when the insulin produced doesn't work effectively. In diabetes, this causes the level of glucose in the blood to be too high.
In Type 1 diabetes the cells in the pancreas that make insulin are destroyed, causing a severe lack of insulin. This is thought to be the result of the body attacking and destroying its own cells in the pancreas - known as an auto immune reaction.
It's not clear why this happens, but a number of explanations and possible triggers of this reaction have been proposed. These include:
A.infection with a specific virus or bacteria;
B.exposure to food-borne chemical toxins; and
C.exposure as a very young infant to cow's milk, where an as yet unidentified component of this triggers the autoimmune reaction in the body.
However, these are only hypotheses and are by no means proven causes. Type 2 diabetes is believed to develop when:
A.the receptors on cells in the body that normally respond to the action of insulin fail to be stimulated by it - this is known as insulin resistance. In response to this more insulin may be produced, and this over-production exhausts the insulin-manufacturing cells in the pancreas;
B.there is simply insufficient insulin available; and
C.the insulin that is available may be abnormal and therefore doesn't work properly.
The following risk factors increase the chances of someone developing Type 2 diabetes:
A.Increasing age;
B.obesity; and
C.physical inactivity.
Rarer causes of diabetes include:
A.Certain medicines;
B.pregnancy (gestational diabetes);
C.and any illness or disease that damages the pancreas and affects its ability to produce insulin e.g. pancreatitis.
What doesn't cause diabetes
It's important to also be aware of the different myths that over the years have arisen about the causes of diabetes. Eating sweets or the wrong kind of food does not cause diabetes. However, it may cause obesity and this is associated with people developing Type 2 diabetes.
Stress does not cause diabetes, although it may be a trigger for the body turning on itself as in the case of Type 1 diabetes. It does, however, make the symptoms worse for those who already have diabetes.
Diabetes is not contagious. Someone with diabetes cannot pass it on to anyone else.

Agranulocytosis is a condition in which the bone marrow does not make enough of a certain type of mature white blood cells (neutrophils). Bone marrow is the soft tissue inside bones that helps form blood cells.
Granulocytopenia; Granulopenia
Agranulocytosis may be caused by:
Agranulocytosis results in a person not having enough of a specific type of white blood cells, called neutrophils or granulocytes. A low neutrophil count (neutropenia) may also occur when white blood cells are destroyed faster than they can be produced.
Persons with this condition are more likely to have fevers and infections.
A blood differential test will be done to measure the percentage of each type of white blood cell in your blood.
Treatment depends on the cause of agranulocytosis. For example, if a medicine is the cause, stopping or changing to another drug may help. In other cases, medicines to help the body make more white blood cells will be used.
Treating or removing the cause usually results in a good outcome.
If you are having treatment or taking medicine that could cause agranulocytosis, your health care provider will use blood tests to monitor you.

As with the arrival of any new pet, it's important to consider the care that they need, whether it be what type of habitat they may need or what kind of food they need to eat. A hedgehog can be quite a different type of pet, but once your hedgehog becomes used to you, it will be a rewarding experience.
Hedgehogs are generally clean animals. They groom themselves as other pets would, but sometimes they may not be able to clean certain spots, so it is important to inspect his quills regularly and clean him off if he is dirty. Check the feet too. You can use the bathroom sink or a small tub for his bath. Fill with enough warm water to cover his feet. A toothbrush or a soft baby brush can be used to clean through his quills. Then rinse well and dry him off thoroughly with a towel.
Prickly Profile
There are 15 species of the hedgehog, but the most commonly seen as pets are the African pygmy hedgehogs. In the wild, hedgehogs generally live 2-3 years, but pet hedgehogs can live up to 10 years if given the proper care. Hedgehogs use the quills on their back and sides for protection. If they sense danger is near, they draw in their stomach muscles and curl up into ball. This protects their face and undersides, which are covered with soft shaggy fur. When the spines on the forehead are erect, the hedgehog is shocked or cautious. They will also erect the spines on only one part of the body in the direction of whatever has disturbed them. But when the spines are laid flat, the hedgehog is comfortable and relaxed.
Bring Home Baby
Don't be alarmed if your hedgehog acts distrustful of you the first few days after coming home. He may roll into a ball or butt you with erected spines on his forehead. But he will quickly become acquainted to his new home and new people, and you can win him over that much more quickly by offering him mealworms or other treats. Handle your hedgehog daily in the evening or early morning for short periods of time. This will allow him to get used to your scent and touch. Hedgehogs have very good senses of smell and hearing but they cannot see very well, so abrupt noises will startle them.
A House is a Home
The indoor cage should not be too small as hedgehogs are very active and need lots of space to exercise. Make sure to have a proper cover on the cage to keep them from escaping. The cage should be well-ventilated. Keep the cage away from drafts and direct sunlight, and during cooler months be sure to monitor the temperature. Hedgehogs prefer warm climates, but if it gets too cold or too hot, they will go into hibernation. Like hamsters, hedgehogs sleep during the day and are active at night, so it is important to provide a good hidey hole for sleeping, preferably one that can block out light. Hedgehogs also love to explore, so they can spend time outside of their cage in the house or outside in good weather. Don't forget to supervise, and block off areas that may be dangerous to your pet.
You don't have to go out into the garden to catch bugs to feed your hedgehog. There is a specialty dry food made just for hedgehogs that can be found at pet stores. Dry food will help to clean their teeth because the crunchy kibble will scrape their teeth as they eat. Use a heavy food dish that cannot be tipped over, and fill a water bottle with fresh water daily. Feed your hedgehog once a day, in the late afternoon or early evening depending on when he wakes up, and be sure to monitor for weight gain.
- Never force a hedgehog to uncurl because this could harm him. Dangle a tasty treat by his mouth and wait for him to uncurl.
- Sometimes, hedgehogs will start foaming at the mouth and begin spitting on themselves. This is called self anointing. Scientists are still unsure why hedgehogs do this.
- Hedgehogs can do well with other animals, such as dogs, cats or rabbits. Supervise their first meetings.

This isn't the surefire Hall of Famer. This isn't the Super Bowl MVP. This isn't the same Peyton.
If the Colts, with a fan base flush with Manning jerseys, are willing to yank the plug on him it speaks volumes. That's even without hearing reports saying he's not there yet, and having trouble making all the throws. It's a backwards-looking direction, and such choices are rarely winning moves.
Agonizing for our SoFlo Sea Mammals, who have, along with all of us of course, endured a horrific post-Marino hangover. The idea of snagging a few stellar bonus years out of Peyton is alluring. This was the #5 scoring defense in football. The cupboard on offense is far from bare as well. If we could lock in a maestro for this offense, we would immediately be a playoff contender.
But there are of course a few directions to go in the search for that maestro. If the Dolphins' "spidey sense" is tingling about RGIII, few would blame them for betting the house on him. Perhaps another rookie has caught our eye, one that should be available when our pick rolls around, or lower if we trade down?
Then of course there's Matty "Bang Bang" Flynn. We believe he will be the next starting quarterback of the Miami Dolphins. We've been way too quiet about him. If you're Joe Philbin, heading into your first ever job as a Head Coach in the National Football League, your worst nightmare is a quarterback who can't run your offense. What a happy coincidence that you've had a several season head start in prepping Flynn to run that offense. Couple that with his performances in live action, and it makes far too much sense. We love him. We think he's smart. We think he's got swagger. He may not be the prototype 6'4″ poster boy, but we believe he would put this team in the end zone. And of course there's the bonus of being able to use our 1st rounder at another need position (DE/OLB or RT perhaps).
Or of course we could try option 3, whipping a few more good years out of the old horse Peyton. We could grab a QB in the 2nd or 3rd to groom behind him. We would of course be curious to see if he had anything left in the tank. However, misfiring on this would set the franchise back a few years. Ask yourself, does Philbin have that luxury in his first ever stint as an HC?
We don't think he does. We hope, and indeed we think, that the Sea Mammals will make the hit-the-ground-running choice. There are rookies, and the learning curve that almost always needs to be navigated. There's a stud veteran who's now failing physically and turning 36. Then there's a 26-year old with very little wear on his arm, who knows the offense like the back of his hand and has already excelled (granted, a small sample size) against live, NFL action.
Of course it ain't our call, but at the stroke of midnight on March 13th we'd be throwing a boatload of sand dollars in Matt Flynn's direction.

Former Playboy Playmates Start Massive Brawl With Strippers — Go On, We're Listening
When we think of girl-on-girl action, we do not exactly imagine a wild-eyed drunken brawl between ex-Playboy playmates and a room full of strippers - but it definitely ranks in at a close second.
Interestingly enough, that is exactly what happened over the weekend at a North Carolina strip club, when former Playboy playmates Sarah Satterfield and Vicki Satterfield went on a T&A kicking rampage with a half dozen strippers, according to reports from the Lorain County Sheriff's Department.
The two sisters were featured along with their other, less rowdy, sister (yes, they are triplets) in a 2007 cyber playmate edition of Playboy Magazine.
A call to 911 from Sarah Satterfield initially led officers to believe that the two sisters were the victims. "A lot of girls attacked us and ripped all of our hair out and stuff, and we can't find our cell phone or anything, and all of the girls like laughed and just thought it was funny that people attacked us," said an allegedly drunken Sarah Satterfield on the phone with 911.
However, according to the police report, a review of dressing room surveillance videos showed that Vicki Satterfield actually started the fight and that both girls opened a fiendish can of washed-up playmate violence on the club manager. Come on girls, what would Jenny McCarthy do?
Incidentally, these bare-knuckle beauties were cuffed and stuffed and charged with assault. Court documents not only reveal that this was not the sisters' first run in with the law, but they also indicate that the two girls are claiming indigence, which essential means that they are too broke to afford legal council. They are scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing on December 13.
The good news is the women's prison calendar is looking forward to having the sisters on board next year.

Vietnam: Say NO to plastic bags for a prosperous Year of the Dragon
Cũng có ở Tiếng việt
|Pop singer Ngoc Khue and MC My Linh, along with 80 volunteers, took part in a flash mob to support the 'I Hate Nylon' project.
These days, when most people in Vietnam stay home to celebrate the Lunar New Year (locally known as Tet holiday), hundreds of Vietnamese youth flocked to the streets of Hanoi, the country's capital, to work on a community project to reduce plastic bag usage in the city.
The 'I Hate Nylon' project (plastic bags are commonly called nylon bags in Vietnam) aims to raise Vietnamese people's awareness about the dangers of plastic bag usage through several community activities before the Lunar New Year, the biggest holiday in Vietnam when people consume a lot of plastic bags.

The Next Big Facebook-Clogging Scam Game Is Here
[There was a video here]
Zynga, the more-than-a-little-sketchy company behind the insanely popular Facebook game Farmville, is debuting a new product: Cityville, "Zynga's most social game ever." Great! Because what Facebook really needs is another blockbuster game that constantly encourages people to invite their friends.
Farmville! If you have an aunt, or an internet-savvy grandmother, or a well-meaning and motherly coworker, you are likely familiar with its whole "deal": You get to plant and tend to a farm. A virtual farm, obviously, but one that people nonetheless get very invested in—enough so that some portion of Farmville users will willingly pay for additions to their farms.
But the worst part of Farmville, to the non-user, is its amazing ability to clog up your notifications and your Facebook feed with its silly bullshit: So-and-so wants you to water her plants! Do you want to join Farmville? So-and-so planted something on her farm! And on, and on, until you just give up and block everyone on Facebook except for that one girl, and then she starts playing Farmville too.
So, anyway, it's dispiriting to hear that Cityville—which, as you might guess from its title, is basically Farmville plus Sim City—won't really be dealing with that. In fact, if anything, it'll be worse:
One of the goals when developing CityVille is to make it Zynga's most social game ever, Kelly added. "We even have more social interactions than we've ever done before around trading goods, sending people trains and all kinds of things that you can do to play with each other to grow your city."
The opportunity to interact with friends doesn't stop there. "In our game, you can even run a business in one of your friends' cities," Kelly said. "By interacting, I'm also actually making progress in the game and looking for ways to increase the number of friends that I can play with."
Doesn't that sound just wonderful? You "make progress" in the game by "increasing the number of friends who play the game." By, presumably, inviting them on Facebook, and constantly demonstrating to the minifeed what you've been doing in the game. So get excited for that.
And, most likely, Cityville will, like Farmville, have the same kind of sketchy virtual marketplace concept, one that allows Zynga to profit off of "an army of junkies and kids." But who cares! As CEO Mark Pincus told Nightline,
"I saw a lot of sites that had fulfilled, I think, the original promise of the Web for us, which was that we should get utility, we should save time and save money. I think we were ready for the next generation of the Internet," Pincus said. "If you think of this as turning the Web into one cocktail party, it's giving them something to do together while they're at the party."
That's right! The web is a cocktail party, and Pincus is providing the shitty, heavily-cut heroin, to the five-year-olds.

Few things are more annoying than having to wait in line.
And it seems like everywhere we go … we're waiting. Making a trip to the bank? Prepare to stand in line. Heading over to Arco for a fill up? You'll probably be stuck behind a car or two before you can get to a pump.
Heck, one of my favorite restaurants I go to has long waits — and that's before I even sit down. It's the kind of place where you walk up, place your order at the counter and then take a seat where the waiter or waitress will eventually bring your food.
That wait is never too bad. But when I first walk up to the counter and order a beer they always seem to look at me like I just asked for top-secret Pentagon papers. Then the person behind the counter will invariably disappear into the back and return a minute later with a glass to pour it in. It seems they never have enough glasses in front.
But the most annoying delays I've encountered in recent months are the waits I endure at the supermarket. And let's face it, there's nothing worse than waiting in line for 10 minutes when you've already spent 15 to 20 minutes shopping for the stuff you need. In my case that would be Pop Tarts, Newcastle beer and Cheetos — something I like to call the three major food groups.
But I always seem to get stuck behind someone who is new to the concept of debit cards. "Yes," the clerk will say patiently. "Just go ahead and swipe it, and then it will ask you if you want cash back. And no, that card won't get you free admission into Caesar's Palace."
More questions follow and this process typically lasts long enough for me to read "War and Peace" and review the last 20 email messages I've received on my smartphone. And after all that the befuddled customer will usually say something like, "Hey, I didn't punch in my phone number for the BIG DISCOUNT. Can we start over?"
To their credit, the supermarket clerks usually do call for backup. But no one ever seems to arrive, or else they get there just as I've finally moved to the front of the line.
So I decided to ask Phil Lempert, Southern California's "supermarket guru," if supermarkets are, in fact, understaffed these days.
"Yes, it's a labor situation," he explained. "As margins continue to be slimmer and overhead is bigger there is less and less staff. And by the way, Kevin, aliens have taken over the brains of supermarket checkers."
I embellished that last part a wee bit. But I'm pretty sure Phil has been thinking along those lines. He also noted that Ralph's is now using flat video screens at the checkout stands that are supposed to tell customers how long the wait is in each line. That's all well and good, but every time I shop there only seems to be one checkout line open.
Maybe that's for the best. I can always re-read "War and Peace."

WESTFORD -- Like most houses of worship, St. Mark's Episcopal Church does plenty of outreach throughout the year, but none quite replicates the joy of giving like its annual chocolate festival.
"This is our most decadent outreach. It really makes you feel good," said Linda Larson, co-chair of this year's festival, which takes place at the church from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday.
In order to raise enough funds to donate about $2,000 to local food pantries, Larson said the church needs to draw as many visitors as it can at $10 a pop for adults (seniors and children 6 and up pay just $5 and children 5 and under are admitted free) for the all-you-can eat festival.
The festival also features live acoustical musical entertainment by Seth Rosenberger on the clavinova, bass guitar and fiddle, as well as a children's craft and game area and raffle items.
"We'll probably get 350 to 400 people coming through our church hall; the décor's theme is all valentines," she said.
Offerings this year are slated to include entries from restaurants and bakeries like Sugar Cupcakes in Chelmsford, Chili's, Mangia Mangia Italian Grill, Belle's Bistro and DixBite of Westford and Tre Amici of Littleton.
"Sugar Cupcakes is making some white chocolate raspberry cupcakes, along with some double chocolate cupcakes and Mangia Mangia is making a black and white tuxedo cake," Larson said.
"Tre Amici is doing dark chocolate cupcakes with a milk chocolate filling," she added, noting that DixBite owner Carl Berg is one of her favorite local chefs and Belle's Bistro, which made a very good dark chocolate stout cake last year, is sure to whip up something savory again.
In addition to about nine or 10 professional entries, 30 to 35 parishioners bake for the event each year.
"Our parishioners can really cook chocolate, now that they've been doing it for so many years. My husband has made chocolate mocha cupcakes in the past. My biggest success was my chocolate raspberry crème puffs," said Larson, a 28-year church member who hasn't yet settled on a recipe for this year's festival.
"It's a fun event; everyone contributes in such a huge way," she said, urging people to "bring your Valentine to the festival."
The raffle and a silent auction feature items like Bose headphones, prints of historic Westford buildings, several large gift baskets with various themes, gift certificates to places like The Beadles Bead Shop and The Java Room and a chocolate festival cookbook featuring recipes from past festivals.
"Last year, we had over $1,000 worth of raffle prizes. You don't have to be present to win," Larson said, because tickets are available in advance during church office hours on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and also can also be pre-purchased from parishioners. This is the festival's 21st year and about 50 percent of the proceeds go to either the Lowell or Westford food pantries.
This is the fourth straight year where Larson has served as either chair or co-chair of the event, which started at the church but was held at bigger venues before a hiatus in 2008 and '09.
When the festival returned the following year, "I said 'I want to carry on the tradition, but I want to do it back in the church, like when we started, so it has a real community feel,'" she said.
When the festival is over, a parishioner usually takes two or three huge trays of extra chocolate confections to the local fire department and volunteers from the open pantry, who help to clean up, take other extras to a family shelter in Lowell.

Watch a mountainside airlift rescue from inside the chopper
Hiker falls 30 feet while trying to rescue dog
Hiker falls 30 feet while trying to rescue dog
Hiker falls 30 feet while trying to rescue dog
A California Highway Patrol rescue team is being credited with helping save a South Lake Tahoe hiker who nearly fell to her death.
The 27-year-old from South Lake Tahoe was hiking near Luther Pass in El Dorado County with her boyfriend and dog when the dog slipped.
The hiker reached to save the dog. But she lost her footing in the process, causing her to fall down the steep mountainside.
She slid head over heal for roughly 15 feet before free-falling off a 30-foot tall cliff.
CHP helicopter pilot Bryan Souza was part of a four-man crew dispatched to rescue her.
"She was very fortunate that she landed on her backside, which gave her some injuries -- but ultimately the way she fell, I think, saved her life," Souza said.
Once on board, the crew learned the extent of the victim's injuries.
"Her hands, tips of her fingers were pretty raw from grabbing onto rocks and bushes to stop herself," Souza said. "It was completely mangled on her hands."
She also suffered injuries to her ankle, knee and left shoulder.
In a statement, the hiker, who asked not to be identified, said "CHP did a great job and I am very grateful for the people who helped me. It was an accident that could have happened to any hiker in the Sierra."
Rescuers said if you find yourself in a situation similar to this, there's an app on your phone that can help save you.
Most smart phones have a compass app that can determine your exact latitude and longitude.
"That's a coordinate that we can use to help locate you in the time of an emergency," Souza said.
In this case, the hiker's boyfriend opened the app and was able to pass along their location to a dispatcher, who relayed it to the helicopter crew.
The victim was transported to Barton Hospital in South Lake Tahoe. The victim's boyfriend and dog were fine and hiked out without incident.

Timo Hetzel needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 182 designs submitted by 50 freelance designers.
The name of the company is "Undsoversum" - a play on "und so" ("and stuff") and "Universum", which is German for "universe". So a possible translation would be "stuffiverse"
We do podcasts and stuff. And we need a logo to go with that. We also got a number of existing podcast cover art designs that should go together with the new logo created in this contest.
I'm Timo Hetzel, and I recently founded a new podcasting company similar to Leo Laporte's TWiT Network, or Revision 3.
We already have a collection of podcast cover art designs, and we need the new logo not necessarily to match them, but to complement them.
The new logo could contain all the cool stuff about space. Rockets, flying cars, space ships...
Or find something more abstract to represent the concept.
We want to keep it very stylized, but recognizable. Think "The Jetsons", "Futurama", or "The Incredibles"
To make the word more legible, you may use dictionary style hyphenation "und·so·versum" or "und·so·ver·sum"
The "U" may be upper or lower case. Lower case feels better, I think.
Here's two layout options we'd like to see (just to give you an idea - you don't have to stick to this placement and these colors) - square, with the type on the bottom, and horizontal, with the logo part on the left, and the type on the right.
- use Myriad Pro Bold as the main font
- dark background, like in the samples above
- must be legible at very small sizes (think Twitter avatar pic)
- must work in square layout (logo on top, type below) as well as horizontal (logo left, type right)
- must work in color as well in a black/white version
- Robots, Space Ships, Flying Cars - and what can you come up with?
- go all corporate on the logo. this should be fun
- astronauts, space suits.
- round rects as the main design element. probably go with the space theme and work from there
- A single upper case "U" as the design element. It looks a lot like German subway station signs
- Saturn rings. There are other big brands in Germany that use this visual.

A bystander says he spotted former Vice President Joe Biden taking the time to speak with a homeless man outside the Georgetown movie theater on K Street on Thursday evening.
The Politico Playback reports Biden had taken his granddaughter to the AMC while she was in the area visiting some friends.
The user who posted the photo, Paul Equale, wrote on his Facebook page: "Joe Biden took his granddaughter to the movies in Georgetown last night.....on his way out he stopped to speak w/ a homeless man. A bystander took this candid shot. Character is about what you do when no one is watching."
All of this attention comes as the former Vice President is considering a run against Donald Trump in 2020.
Many users on social media have reacted to the picture which has been shared over 124,000 times. D.C. mayor Muriel Bowser complimented Biden for his kindness while a conservative website known as The Reagan Battalion praised Biden for being humble.

After installing a Cree CR6 insert, does the canister still needs to be boxed out to keep insulation from covering the fixture?
Views: 601
Hi Paul.
Certainly an issue with all cans that could use a good answer. Unfortunately, we are most often left to our own thinking for guidance. Here are my thoughts.
If it is possible to re-install a bulb with a higher wattage, then the higher wattage rules must remain in place along with the wattage warning. If the modification is basically permanent, (no Edison socket), then the new bulb potential wattage can be considered. Remember, I'm not the authority, these are just thoughts and here is the last sentence on one of Cree's warranty statements:
"Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment." This was from a PDF under Vantage Controls.com from this search: http://www.google.com/#q=Cree+CR6+insert&hl=en&prmd=imvns&a...
Exactly what that means I couldn't say, but there are two authorities I look to, local AHJ, and UL. I didn't see any reference to UL, but if your packaging has such that would be good. As for the local AHJ, they rule and should always be contacted when looking for approval not specifically granted elsewhere.
As for boxing any can light, it is often discussed, but I have never seen a universally approved approach that would be accepted by all authorities. Lacking specific UL approval or someone else's signature on the dotted line to take the responsibility off of your shoulders, I would not box, but replace with a new AT/IC can.
i bought severa of the Cree CR6 bulbs and have put soem in my own home as substitute bulbs in AT/IC fixtures. They have been in for at elast 5 years now. before we put these in the fixtures had halogenbulbs in them. we sprayed the fixtures with open cell foam from the attic when we first installed them in 1996. so far no problems with the halogens or the LED's. not scientific, but factual.
when i told my supplier this, he said Cree does not reccomend this, and will not warantee bulbs installed this way. i have since been using TenMat domes on recessed lights, then spraying foam on the domes. we had one failure where the fixture had an incondescent bulb with the adjustable 'eyeball' trim ring. in that case airlfow is restricted by the trim ring and the bulbs overheated. the fixtures shut off. i replaced the incandescents with LED screw in bulbs and all is well.
in my case, we are specifying creating an airspace in the attic around any recessed fixture, then using spray foam to seal the outer surface of that space.
Hi Pat, although my post above kind of says not to box, I also compare boxing to installing a can in a first floor ceiling or in a drop area over a kitchen sink. In those cases, the can is still enclosed, but in a cavity that provides more area to dissipate the heat. Since I have seen no restrictions for cans in a joist cavity, I would assume a similar generous space with a box should be acceptable. At least this is the argument I use when talking to local code officials, if one is ok why not the other.
Sorry about all the typo's. not my forte` check with TenMat on this, but those covers are made for this application. they are made of rock wool, so they will not burn and are good protection for the foam. they are also easily installed.
Typo's are certainly not an issue in these days.
The key to any cover is having had UL test that specific light with that cover or possibly having UL approve that cover for any and all lights, which I don't think they would do. One cover I looked at had a list of several cans they had tested it with and it was thus approved for those and only those cans. In any event, I haven't heard of this being an issue, but would not want to be the last one in line when they were looking to blame someone.

MAN of the moment Tom Drewitt says Melksham Town's dramatic Wiltshire Senior Cup triumph on Wednesday night caps a remarkable turnaround for the club this season, writes CARL FIELD.
Keeper Drewitt saved penalties from Dan King and Tom Evans to ensure holders Melksham retained their crown by beating Bradford Town 3-2 in the shootout, after a breathtaking final at Hardenhuish Park had finished 3-3 after extra-time.
"It's an unbelievable feeling," said Drewitt. "It's also a great achievement, considering that we only had one point after seven games at the start of this season."
Melksham had twice come from behind as first, King's 10th minute strike gave Bradford a 1-0 half time lead before Ben Thomson levelled it up two minutes after the re-start.
King then scored again for Bradford on 61 minutes, only for Ryan Bennett to level matters once more on 69 minutes.
Dan Kovacs gave Melksham the lead for the first time in extra time before Andy Gilbert's last-gasp leveller for Bradford in added time in extra time sent the game to penalties.
Gary Higdon then rattled the crossbar with his penalty while Luke Ballinger blazed over with his, but those misses didn't prove costly.
Kovacs and Mike Perrott were on target for Melksham in the shootout, while Dan Fowler and Sam Jordan successfully converted their spot kicks for Bradford.
That meant the sides were level at 2-2 with four penalties taken each. Ian Jeffrey scored his penalty before Drewitt saved from unfortunate Bradford skipper Evans to send Melksham into ecstasy.
Drewitt also admitted afterwards that a few harsh words from manager Darren Perrin were needed at half time after Bradford dominated the first half.
He said: "The occasion got to us a little bit I think in the first half and we were just happy to get to half time only 1-0 down.
"But there's a lot of confidence in that changing room and we came back out all guns blazing after a few choice words from the gaffer at half time."
Melksham manager Perrin paid tribute to Drewitt after the keeper's shootout heroics.
He said: "Tom Drewitt probably gets more stick from me than any of them, but tonight he's the hero.

In the Jan. 10 Glendale News-Press was an article titled "Rim of the Valley draws support." I do not believe the supporters know the whole story. The proposed new national park covers an area two-thirds the size of Yosemite National Park.
We cannot afford another national park. Right now $10 billion is needed to upgrade our present park system. This park will cost another $2 billion for land acquisition and in doing so takes that property off the tax rolls.
It will affect 172,000 property owners who will have little say about their property being taken. Many things we take for granted you cannot do in national parks, like having them clear brush near your home.
Access would be limited to the Verdugos and San Rafael Hills here in Glendale. Please pull up a map of the proposed national park. You will be shocked by what areas it covers, like upper Chevy Chase Canyon and the Verdugo Woodlands.

I was offered a job with $35,000/year as the starting salary. I have a B.S. in marketing and an M.A. in mass media communications, and my thesis won national honors; I've interned at NBC and BWR, worked as an office and research assistant for two years and spent another year freelancing. Given my background, do you think that is a fair salary? Is there any way I can negotiate a higher salary?
Fair? What's fair is what the market will bear. There are plenty of people with lots of letters after their names with honors and experience who can't even find a job. And, no offense, but it's not like an M.A. in mass media communications is a degree that satisfies a huge talent drought in the job market. That said, the salary does seem entry-level which is fine if you're a recent college grad. There is no harm in trying to negotiate. Point out your experience and education and ask them if there is any flexibility on the salary. Do so professionally and thoughtfully so as not to put the offer in jeopardy.
I started a new job six months ago, and my boss isn't great at giving feedback. I actually don't know whether or not she thinks I am doing a good job. Any advice?
Ummm . . . ask? Many employees seem to avoid asking their boss for feedback. Some fear projecting that they are insecure or needy. Others default to "no news is good news" — while some are just afraid of the response and grateful to avoid the conversation altogether. Why be in the dark? If your boss isn't a great communicator, take the initiative. Schedule time to have a conversation and take the burden off your boss. Say that you've been in the role six months and that you want to make sure that you are performing in a way that meets her expectations. Offer a self-assessment and suggest ways that you can be even more effective. When you aren't getting what you need from your boss, you have two choices — accept it or take some ownership. It's your career. Take the initiative.

Candidate presented by: Mr. John P. Madden, Marquette University Trustee Emeritus and Retired Chairman, Madden Communications, Inc.
Sister Rosemary Connelly is the Executive Director of Misericordia, an agency that offers a community of care that maximizes potential for people with mild to profound developmental disabilities, many of whom are also physically challenged. Misericordia means "heart of mercy" in Latin. She was appointed Administrator of Misericordia in 1969 and has led the organization for the past forty-four years. By serving society's most vulnerable citizens, Misericordia also serves the families who want the best for them yet cannot provide it at home.
Through a spectrum of residential options on its 31-acre Chicago campus and in the community and with a wide variety of programs, Misericordia currently serves more than 600 children and adults from diverse racial, religious, and socio-economic backgrounds. Twenty percent of Misericordia's residents either come from families living in poverty or have no families and are wards of the State of Illinois. Sister Rosemary's leadership has been integral to Misericordia growing into a loving, challenging, and dignified environment for thousands of children and adults with developmental disabilities. To the residents, families, friends, and staff of Misericordia, this special place truly has become home. Misericordia is dedicated to the principle that each person should be encouraged to achieve his or her maximum potential realized through educational, vocational, spiritual, and recreational programs.
Sister Rosemary is a member of the Religious Sisters of Mercy. A native Chicagoan, she attended Catholic schools and taught in several Archdiocese of Chicago schools while continuing her studies. In 1959 Sister Rosemary earned a bachelor of science degree in social science from Saint Xavier University. She subsequently earned a master of arts degree in sociology from Saint Louis University in 1966 and a master's in social work from Loyola University Chicago in 1969.
Sister Rosemary has received countless awards recognizing her work, and she always accepts them on behalf of everyone who is involved with Misericordia. She has also received six honorary doctorate degrees – from the University of Notre Dame, Loyola University Chicago, DePaul University, Lewis University, Saint Xavier University, and Dominican University.
Because of her loving devotion to people with developmental disabilities, her steadfast solidarity with the marginalized, and her life's work of caring for others, Reverend President, I hereby recommend Sister Rosemary Connelly of the Religious Sisters of Mercy for the Marquette University degree of Doctor of Humane Letters, honoris causa.

Plug Power Inc. will be profitable by the end of the year and the company expects to announce two or three major deals in 2014.
During the first three months of 2014, orders have already topped 2013 orders, so facts are the reason for optimism, Chief Executive Officer Andy Marsh told MarketWatch Friday. The fuel-cell supplier should break even in the third quarter and report profits by the fourth quarter, he said. Plug, founded in the late 1990s, has never been profitable.
"It's been a long time coming," Marsh said. "It's just our time."
Plug Power /quotes/zigman/5142101/delayed /quotes/nls/plug PLUG shares have soared in recent weeks, and are up nearly 5,000% in the past 12 months.
News in late February of a deal with six Wal-Mart Stores Inc. distribution centers hurled shares into multi-year highs, frenzied volume, and double-digit gains. The stock has cooled significantly in recent days, however, as one particularly scathing analyst report earlier this week likened investing in Plug to gambling.
Short seller and analyst Andrew Left at Citron Research on Tuesday said the company's shares would be fairly valued at 50 cents, and said volumes and the share price surge demonstrated Wall Street treats the stock as a casino.
On Friday, more analysts joined the chorus, albeit with a moderated tone: Cowen & Co. and Roth Capital downgraded Plug shares on valuation.
Marsh said he'd leave to Wall Street a decision about share value. His job is to build the business, and he is bullish about its future.
In addition to big customers coming to Plug for its fuel cell-powered forklifts (as well as the hydrogen and services that come with the equipment), the company is ready to expand into ground support equipment at airports, including equipment dealing with luggage and packages; refrigerated units, which would replace diesel-powered refrigeration units in trucks delivering perishables, which are noisy and expensive to run; and range extenders for electric trucks.
The forklift market would remain Plug's focus in the near term, but Plug expects to offer trials and demonstrations in other areas this year.
"The company is going to be profitable. I think there's no question," Marsh said. It has 150 patents that guarantee its unique position in the market and make its technology very difficult for competitors to copy, he added.
Analysts at Cowen, led by Robert Stone, raised their price target on Plug stock to $7.50 from $5.50, but said valuations now warrant a market perform rating, from outperform.
Analysts at Roth, led by Matt Koranda, downgraded Plug to neutral on valuation. With the stock up 900% since the third-quarter analyst call, "we see a less favorable risk/reward profile going forward," they said.
Plug reported fourth-quarter results on Thursday, saying it lost $28.9 million, or 28 cents a share, in the quarter. That compares with a loss of $8.5 million, or 22 cents a share, a year earlier. Adjusted for one-time items, Plug lost 8 cents a share, in line with Wall Street expectations and compared with adjusted losses of 25 cents a share a year earlier.

You don't have these delays with message passing if you do it differently.

The memory on the NIC is not related to Remote Memory Access. The SRAM is used to host the firmware code and some data such as the routes, physical addresses, the name of the captain, whatever. More memory means that you can fit more routes (on a 7 hops topologies, you need to store 8 bytes, 7 routing bytes and a length, for every routes, and you need 8 different routes for each destination, per link, to have an effecive route dispersion scheme) or do something special (you can write your own firmware if you are crazy or you know what you are doing). 2MB is fine for most cases. > If so which library can i download for that for myri cards? GM supports RMA (PUT and GET) but do not expect the same latency as Quadrics. MX does not have been available with one-sided operations yet, but the latency is much better.

April 3, 2006
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The women's track team competed in the Diet Pepsi Invitational last Saturday. The meet was hosted by the University of Florida and featured some quality performances by the Engineers.
Freshman Adrienne Bolger placed 17th in the 1500 meter run with a time of 4:56.18. She also finished 35th in the 8000 meter run (2:23.51) to lead MIT. Junior Alisha Schor took ninth in the 5000 meter run (19:04). Junior Christine Fanchiang paced the Engineers in three events. She placed 12th in the pole vault (3.20m), 24th in the long jump (4.57m) and 35th in the 100 meter hurdles (16:83).
Sophomores Karen Davie and Aline Thomas and junior Kay Furman were also solid for MIT. The Engineers were led by Davie's 17th place mark in the triple jump (9.77m), Thomas' 16th place finish in the shot put (9.26m) and 14th place finish in the hammer throw (42.7m) and Furman's 19th place effort in the discuss throw (31.75m). To close out the meet, junior Chi-Fong Wang tossed the javelin 32.77 meters to finish 10th.
On Wednesday, the Engineers were in Clermont, Florida for the Spring Fling Meet. The team placed second of four teams with a total score of 178 points. Colby College won the competition with 186 points.
Highlights on the day included several first place efforts by MIT athletes. Fanchiang took first in the 100 meter hurdles (16.22) and tied for first with freshman teammate Emily Hwang in the pole vault (10-00.00). Also placing first was junior Alisha Schor in the 3000 meter steeplechase with a time of 11:41.38 and freshman Emilie Repak in the triple jump (33-11.00). The Engineers led competition in the 4x100 meter relay as well and nabbed first.
There were other notable performances for MIT: Leanna Veldhuis placed second (1:07.18) in the 400 meter hurdles, Kay Furman took second (32.76m) in the discus throw, junior Hana Adaniya came in third (5:02.70) in the 1500 meter run and Fanchiang earned third place in the long jump (15-07.75) and fourth in the 100 meter dash (13.1).
The Engineers are back in action on Saturday, April 8, when they will face WPI and RPI in the Engineer's Cup. The competition will begin at 12:00 p.m.

What happens if I edit a file on my desktop PC, and edit the same file on my synchronised laptop which is currently not connected to the internet?
Let's say I have a file called "jobs.todo" in "~/Ubuntu One" on my desktop, and this contains the following:
Job 1: description
Job 2: description
Job 3: description
As I have my laptop connected to the internet, this file will appear on both computers.
I disconnect my laptop, and take it away with me on a journey. While I'm away, I think of another job I have to get done and add it to the file, which will now read:
Job 1: description
Job 2: description
Job 3: description
Job 4: description
When I get home, I go back to my desktop and think of something else I need to get done, so I add this to the desktop computer's "jobs.todo" file, forgetting that I'd already altered this file on the laptop.
This file will read:
Job 1: description
Job 2: description
Job 3: description
Job 5: description
and the file will be synchronised with the cloud soon afterwards, because the desktop machine is connected to the internet.
Some while later, I start up my laptop, it connects itself to the internet wirelessly, and synchronisation with the cloud takes place.
I suspect that the desktop version (with Job 5 in it) will be copied from the cloud, and I will lose the file containing Job 4, because the datestamp on the cloud's version of the file will be later than that on the laptop

Nutritional Tips for the Road
Stew Smith, CSCS
On average, most people can gain five or more pounds a year. That is why in five short years, people step on a scale and cannot believe they are nearly FIFTY pounds overweight. Weight has a way of sneaking up on you over time. You do not get overweight overnight and you do not lose the weight overnight either. Both take time, but fortunately losing weight can be faster if you follow a strict nutritional and exercise plan. Both take only minutes a day. You need to either stick to your food and exercise plan or start a plan now if you have not been active or concerned about your food intake in a long time.
Here are a few eating tips and some ideas on quick exercises routines to try when time is limited:
1) Lay off the fast food – Before you leave for a long day at work, try to eat before you leave and pack a lunch. Foods high in protein mixed with a natural carbohydrate are great energy meals. Try a lean turkey or chicken sandwich with vegetables like lettuce and tomato. Watch out for the mayo – too many calories and fat grams. Try mustard instead. Fruits are great quick snacks too. Try apples, oranges, bananas for natural sources of energy.
2) Wake up and burn some calories – As busy days pile up with more and more obligations, the scheduled 5:00pm workout can easily get bumped! Make thirty minutes of exercise fit into your mornings and do some type of workout.
- Try biking, walking, or running for 30 minutes
- Go to your gym for a quick circuit routine
- Try calisthenics like jumping jacks / pushups / crunch routine and jumping jacks / squats / lunges / crunches listed above
3) Don't wait – Start NOW! – Why wait? When you can, you should try to eat at regularly scheduled times during the day. Healthy snacks and meals will carry you through your stressful days much better than skipping meals or binge eating. You will find that if you keep a good schedule, you will lose weight and inches. Add exercise to the plan and you will also get fit and feel better than you have in years. Try an eating schedule of the following recommended times:
i. 0630 – breakfast
ii. 0930 – morning snack
iii. 1230 – lunch
iv. 1530 – afternoon snack
v. 1830 – dinner
If your days are longer than 15-18 hours you should try another light snack of foods like yogurt, grapes, milk. Other snacks during the day can be salads, fruits, lean meats, small sandwiches, boiled eggs and others. See chart on next page for better ideas on what to eat during the day and before and after exercise sessions.
4) – When on patrol, try to walk around an area if possible when going about your normal day. Burning a few more calories by walking is one of the easiest ways to walk off that extra weight. Just twenty minutes of brisk walking can burn over 100-150 calories.
5) – Not with food but with exercises like crunches, sit-ups, and lower back exercises and stretches. When you do these exercises for just 5-10 minutes daily, it is easier to remember to watch your food intake and stop yourself from gorging.
Overall, it is important to keep up the habit of moving more and eating less. These tips can help you prevent unneeded weight gain and lose the extra weight you have.
To lose weight, there are a few factors that you must consider for any weight loss program to be effective. If you remember the following formulas, you should be able to lose weight in a healthy manner and better yet, KEEP IT OFF!
Formula #1: Calories OUT > Calories IN = Weight Loss
This formula is as basic as weight loss gets. If you exercise more calories than you eat at the end of the day, you will lose weight. Creating a calorie deficiency at the end of a day does not mean you have to starve yourself. In fact, decreasing your calories too much can have an opposite effect on the body and cause what I refer to as CAMEL MODE. Plus, you will not have energy at the end of the day to exercise.
The human body is built for survival and when we receive too few calories and not enough water, you can actually shut down your metabolism to a point where you will not burn fat and store water. So, you will not lose weight, but you could gain weight by the increased water retention.
This is where Formula #2 comes into play: Water + Oxygen = Fat burning
Basically, the body needs water and increased oxygen to burn fat as an energy source. The water intake should be anywhere from ½ gallon for women and up to 1 gallon a day for men. This can be tough to do while on duty in a patrol car, so limit your intake during the day and catch up once off-duty.
As you add more water to your system, your body will be able to use the retained water for excretion, prompting almost immediate weight loss that is healthy. This is not the same as sitting in a sauna and sweating which actually DEHYDRATES you. Adding water will REHYDRATE you and enable the body to burn more fat as long as you increase your oxygen intake by doing some form of exercise. Walking, swimming, biking, jogging, even yard work, and calisthenics can help with working your cardio-vascular system.
Here are some sample calorie expenditures for a variety of activities for people who weigh 130 – 190 lbs. If you weigh more that 190 lbs you will actually burn slightly more calories than a lighter person.
Aerobics | 300 | 500 | calories per hour
Basketball game | 475 | 675
Pt – pushups etc | 480 | 690
Child care | 210 | 300
Gardening | 290 | 400
Jogging | 410 | 600
Pushing stroller | 150 | 210
Jumping jacks / rope | 450 | 650
Swimming | 550 | 890
Tennis | 400 | 600
Walking 4 mph | 230 | 350
These are but a few of the ways to burn calories and of course breathing, sitting, standing, doing anything burns calories -even sleeping! But as you can see, the above the activities that burn the most are rigorous or the ones that can be done for several hours for best results. Remember to do your weightlifting, sprinting or calisthenics first, then do your lower heart rate cardio to burn optimal amounts of fat.
One quick note on the other side of the caloric equation is CALORIES IN. If you take a look at the following eating plan, you will get an idea of how to eat to lose weight without starving yourself.
But it is never a good idea to limit your calories under 1800 calories per day or skip meals. In fact, you should consult a nutritionist or dietician for a plan if you plan to go under 1800 calories. The main reason is that you can lose weight but become unhealthy due to lack of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients from a lower calorie diet.
When the days are long and you just cannot eat well, a product I like to use is called ASAP – made by Never Quit Industries. It is a powdered meal replacement with good macro-nutrients in it. It reminds me of a advanced form of Instant Breakfast – Check it out at the link: http://www.nqinutrition.com
Remember the key to any weight control program is adding water to your diet and a fitness plan that will help you add oxygen and burn calories and fat for the caloric deficiency needed to lose weight. Feel free to email me at email@example.com – I answer all my emails.
