The study of the heavens produced the earliest surviving scientific instruments, and the need for accurate astronomical sightings and calculations provided the stimulus for technological and theoretical innovation that would allow mechanization and development in many other fields. However, the history of scientific instruments is patchy at best, as most devices were constructed of cheap materials such as wood, or even paper, and consequently have not survived. Only the most permanent structures or the most grand and expensive, made from metals or stone, have survived.
Some of the earliest scientific instruments were markings on rocks that showed the position of the sunrise on a certain day of the year. Later, astronomical constructions were made that ranged from simple sundials to complex structures such as Stonehenge. In ancient Mesopotamia mudbrick buildings were designed specifically for...

Undergraduates at UT are doing extraordinary things, both in their scholarly efforts, as well in those that take them outside the classroom walls. And they are able to do those things, in large part, because of the support and mentoring they have from you, their faculty, advisors, and colleagues. So, first and foremost, the ONSF extends its gratitude to you for all of the support you provide for our students.
Often times, some of our best students don't think of themselves in terms of national scholarships and fellowships; whatever the reason, they don't self-select and the opportunities pass. The ONSF, therefore, relies on you to identify and encourage students to expect the best of themselves and to take the risk in reaching for even greater things in their studies and professional ambitions. A few words of encouragement from you, their faculty and staff, is often the deciding factor as to whether or not a highly capable student considers making application to a nationally competitive opportunity.
The ONSF exists to support you efforts in helping your students succeed in their academic efforts and take their hard work to the next level by assisting them in identifying opportunities and successfully navigating the scholarship application process. We are dependent on collaboration across campus and welcome the opportunity to serve your students interested and capable of competing for some of the nation's most prestigious opportunities.

FBI: Family Research Council Suspect Said, 'I Don't Like Your Politics' Before Shooting
Corkins allegedly took a firearm out of his backpack and shot at security guard Leo Johnson, striking him in the arm. Even after being shot, Johnson managed to wrestle the gun away from Corkins and subdue him.
Authorities searched Corkins's backpack and found 15 sandwiches from Chick-Fil-A, a box of 50 rounds of ammunition and two additional magazines.
Managers at two Chick-Fil-A locations in Virginia told TPM they had not been visited by the FBI and did not immediately recall someone purchasing that many sandwiches on Wednesday morning. Corkins allegedly parked his vehicle at the East Falls Church Metro Station and took the Orange line into Washington D.C. The shooting took place around 10:45 a.m., Chick-Fil-A stores open at 5:30 a.m.
Corkins, who volunteered at a center for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered individuals located in D.C.'s U Street neighborhood, is being charged with one count of transporting a firearm across state lines with intent to commit a murder and assault with a deadly weapon.

Adrian Peterson's weakness in pass protection was the main reason Brett Favre played only four snaps in his preseason debut in San Francisco, just five days since rejoining the team.
On the Vikings' second passing situation of Favre's 20th NFL season, the 40-year-old QB never had a chance—he was overwhelmed and dropped for a 10-yard loss on second-and-13. He was clobbered on a blitz up the middle when Peterson was slow in stepping over to take block ILB Patrick Willis.
Favre probably would have played two series if not for the sack. Instead, he left after going 1-for-1 for 13 yards as the offense recorded just one first down. Tarvaris Jackson replaced him and led a sputtering offense to one first-half field goal.

Updated on 28 January 2013
You have set up NCBS and very successfully built an institution that we can pride to be a truly world-class institute. Can you outline some of the key things that worked in building such a pre-eminent institution?
Collegiality with a shared demand for excellence. NCBS grew with the view that its problems could be solved and its ambitions met by its efforts and not by solutions from outside. I may be wrong, but I think if we expect less of others and demand more of ourselves we can grasp 'luck' better when it comes by. NCBS has been lucky, but it has been prepared.
Can some of these best practices be applied to take DBT to the next level?
One of the mistakes we make is to assume that the same method 'works' everywhere. Each context is special. DBT has an extraordinarily dedicated and passionate group of officers and working with them and with our life sciences and biotech community will be the best way to learn what to do.
What is your expectation from the industry and what is the kind of support that you look forward from it?
Again, I need to work with industry to understand this. But here is what a senior colleague at the DBT, who is working closely with industry, has to say: "India is at the threshold of a decade of innovation and Indian biotechnology is poised to provide solutions to myriad challenges that we as a country face be it in health, food, fuel security. The solutions that India can offer will have both national and global relevance.
The biotech Industry as it is positioned today has a potential to reach $100 billion by 2025. The components of this bioeconomy will involve all aspects of the biotechnology sector, from new forms of vaccines, novel protein therapeutics, bio-similar manufacturing, improved plant hybrids and renewable energy from biological sources.
The biotech industry growth has been steady at around 20 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for almost a decade now. With the excellent foundation, improved and increased capacity both in human resource and infrastructure, a more conducive innovation research environment, and favorable policies, it is hoped that the Industry will respond and work towards stepping up its growth to 30 percent CAGR.

Wikipedia:Revision deletion
This page documents an English Wikipedia policy, a widely accepted standard that all editors should normally follow. Changes made to it should reflect consensus. |
This page in a nutshell: RevisionDelete is a MediaWiki function used to redact grossly improper posts and log entries. It is available to administrators in accordance with the criteria for use. It can also be used in "Suppression" mode by oversighters to remove certain defamations and privacy breaches from public and administrator view. |
Deletion policies |
RevisionDelete (also known as RevDel or RevDelete) is an administrative feature that allows individual entries in a page history or log to be removed from public view. It is used for "Selective deletion", largely replacing the prior method (delete and partial undelete) which should not be used except for history merges and occasional other cases where it is needed. Revision deletion should only be used in accordance with the criteria for redaction.
RevisionDelete can hide the text of a revision, the username that made the edit or action, or the edit summary or log summary. On the English Wikipedia, criteria exist to govern the use of RevisionDelete, which are outlined below. Use of RevisionDelete by oversighters in "Suppression" mode is covered separately by the Oversight or Suppression policy.
Any administrator may handle RevisionDelete requests made by users, but Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to handle RevisionDelete requests lists administrators who have declared a particular willingness to handle such requests. Users who have concerns about any particular use of RevisionDelete may ask any administrator to review the matter, but again administrators listed in that category may be particularly well placed to do so. When contacting editors about sensitive material, email is preferred to talk page messages, to avoid exposing information to more readers.
Overview of RevisionDelete[edit]
RevisionDelete allows selective redaction of posts and log entries by administrators, as well as peer review by any administrator of the correct use of the tool. Entries still appear in redacted form on the public wiki, and any user may request that an administrator review a RevisionDelete action, to determine whether its removal was reasonable.
As a deletion tool, RevisionDelete is capable of removing material from the wider community's view. Because of this, the tool should only be used within strict guidelines.
In time-sensitive situations where breach of WMF oversight policy (broadly covering privacy breach and legal defamation) is a concern, an administrator may redact first, then immediately bring the matter to the attention of oversighters. (See below.)
RevisionDelete was introduced for administrators in 2010. The community's endorsement of the tool included a very strong consensus that its potential to be abused should be strictly barred, prevented by the community, and written into the policy. Especially, RevisionDelete does not exist to remove "ordinary" offensive comments and incivility, or unwise choices of wording between users, nor to redact block log entries.
Material must be grossly offensive, with little likelihood of significant dissent about its removal. Otherwise it should not be removed. Administrators should consult as usual if uncertain that a revision would be appropriate to redact.
Criteria for redaction[edit]
A certain low degree of inappropriate or disruptive posting is normal within a large community. In general, only material that meets at least one of the criteria below should be deleted. Users should consider whether simply reverting or ignoring would be sufficient in the circumstances. If deletion is needed, only redact what is necessary (i.e. leave non-harmful fields visible), and give a clear reason for the removal. The community's decision[when?] was that RevisionDelete should not be used without prior clear consensus for "ordinary" incivility, attacks, or claims of editorial misconduct. The wider community may need to fully review these at the time and in future, even if offensive.
- Blatant copyright violations that can be redacted without removing attribution to non-infringing contributors. If redacting a revision would remove any contributor's attribution, this criterion cannot be used. Best practices for copyrighted text removal can be found at WP:Copyright problems and should take precedence over this criterion.
- Grossly insulting, degrading, or offensive material that has little or no encyclopedic or project value and/or violates our biographies of living people policy. This includes slurs, smears, and grossly offensive material of little or no encyclopedic value, but not mere factual statements, and not "ordinary" incivility, personal attacks or conduct accusations. When attack pages or pages with grossly improper titles are deleted, the page names may also be removed from the delete and page move logs.
- Purely disruptive material that is of little or no relevance or merit to the project. This includes allegations, harassment, grossly inappropriate threats or attacks, browser-crashing or malicious HTML or CSS, shock pages, phishing pages, known virus proliferating pages, and links to web pages that disparage or threaten some person or entity and serve no other valid purpose, but not mere spam links.
- Oversightable information – see separate section below for criteria.
- Valid deletion under deletion policy, executed using RevisionDelete. With the exception of fixing cut-and-paste moves and history merges, if selective deletion is required, RevisionDelete is usually preferable (see "RevisionDelete compared to traditional selective deletion", [1]), and should be used instead of the old method of "delete and then partial undelete". It is important that the underlying reason for deletion be made clear in the log summary.
- Non-contentious housekeeping including correction of clear and obvious unintended mistakes in previous redactions, changes to redaction based upon communal discussion and clear consensus, adding information to the delete logs, and converting traditional selective deleted edits to RevisionDelete. (The action must not be likely to be contentious or controversial; consult if needed)
AC. | Deletion mandated by a decision of the Arbitration Committee. At times the Arbitration Committee may determine that a logged item was sufficiently improper that the record should be formally deleted in the public log. The deletion reason should clearly link to the decision. Deletions under this criterion are considered to be Arbitration Enforcement matters and should not be overturned improperly; they may however be appealed. |
Log redaction[edit]
Log redaction (outside of the limited scope of RD#2 for the move and delete logs) is intended solely for grossly improper content, and is not permitted for ordinary matters; the community needs to be able to review users' block logs and other logs whether or not proper. Due to its potential, use of the RevisionDelete tool to redact block logs (whether the block log entry is justified or not) or to hide unfavorable actions, posts and/or criticisms, in a manner not covered by these criteria or without the required consensus or Arbcom agreement, will usually be treated as abuse of the tool.
Hiding oversightable material prior to Oversight[edit]
Personal information includes almost any material that is (or looks like it might be) actual claims, facts, hints, or allusions to non-public, personal, or private information (see WP:SIGHT and WP:OUTING). It does not matter whether the privacy-breaching material was posted by the user themselves or by a third party, whether in good or bad faith, recently or in the past, whether accurate, whether the target is identifiable to the administrator, nor whether it is a statement, pointed speculation, or implied.
RevisionDelete can be used to hide any privacy-breaching and/or defamation posts while waiting for Oversight. Since Oversight is not immediate, an administrator may provisionally delete the information from public view to minimize harm, then promptly contact an oversighter.
Even if the material is ultimately found not to be suppressible, administrators are allowed to err on the side of caution, even in cases with an apparent conflict of interest, provided it is in good faith and they quickly seek oversighter review. If the oversighter decides suppression was not appropriate, the material will be restored or admin-deleted instead.
Administrators should be aware that delete logs are public and scrutinized. Deletion may lead to extra attention at times. Only administrators can see the material when it is RevisionDeleted (and before oversight), but even so it may sometimes be more discreet to contact oversighters directly, and not use RevDelete first. A lot depends on the material itself. If RevisionDelete is used, avoid obvious suggestive terms in the reason (e.g. don't use "RD4", "oversight", "private material", "hiding IP of logged out user", etc.).
When hiding personally identifiable information related to an individual who can be contacted by email, it may be considered good manners to notify them that the information was deleted and hidden from public view. Providing such notice is at the administrator's discretion.
Notes on use[edit]
It does not matter if the target is identifiable, just that it appears to have a target:
- It is not necessary that the target is identifiable. It is sufficient that it appears to refer to some real person, organization, or group, or could be intended to suggest a specific target to the right reader. For example a smear could target a person known locally by a nickname or other allusion that no Wikipedia administrator has heard of, but that is recognizable to people in that school, town, or social community. It is therefore not necessary the target(s) be identifiable, to treat the situation as if a target exists.
Username hiding (copyright attribution issues):
- Wikipedia's licenses require that accessible edits be linked to the user who performed them, so it is generally a problem to hide the username from a revision while leaving their edited changes to the page in public view. Cases where it is acceptable are those where the revision contains no valid information copyrightable to the user who posted it (i.e. plagiarism, gibberish, vandalism, adding categories, no copyrightable change made to revision text, etc), where all changes will be reverted, or where the user accidentally posted while being "logged out" and the aim is protection of privacy at the request of the user.
High-traffic pages:
- If redaction may be required on a busy page it can sometimes be worth an edit to take care of problematic text. If redaction is eventually required, fewer revisions will be affected.
Large-scale use[edit]
RevisionDelete is mainly intended for simple use and fairly recent material. Text that exists in numerous revisions (e.g. on busy pages) or which has been the subject of many others' comments may not be practical to redact. Redaction of such material should take into account how practical and effective redaction will be, how disruptive it would be (e.g. to others' valid posts), and whether redaction will itself draw attention to the issue. No hard line exists; judgment is required.
Administrators in this situation may wish to initially edit the page to revert or remove the grossly improper material, and then consult.
How to request Revision Deletion[edit]
To request revision-deletion for copyright violations, see Template:Copyvio-revdel.
To avoid the Streisand effect, there is no dedicated on-wiki forum for requesting revision deletion under other circumstances. You can send a message to any administrator in Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to handle RevisionDelete requests either at their talk page or by email if privacy is a concern. You can also request revision deletion on IRC using #wikipedia-en-revdel connect, where only other administrators will be able to see your request. Keep in mind that if the revision you're reporting could be subject to oversight, follow the procedures at WP:Requests for oversight or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Appeal and discussion of actions[edit]
Actions performed using this tool remain visible in the public logs. They are subject to review by other administrators (who can see redacted material), and to reversal upon clear, wider consensus. Such a review should take place at the Administrators' Noticeboard. As with other administrative tools, good judgment and appropriate use are expected; improper use can lead to sanctions or desysopping.
Technical details[edit]
On the English Wikipedia, the revision deletion feature is available in administrator mode to administrators and in administrator and suppression mode to Oversighters (all of whom are currently also administrators).
Page histories and logs have a button for administrators and oversighters that allows multiple entries to be redacted by selecting them from the list with checkboxes. On page histories, the button is Change visibility of selected revisions; on logs it is Change visibility of selected log entries.
When a revision or log entry is hidden from view in its entirety, it is displayed as shown to the right, with the elements hidden from view stricken and greyed out. The struck-out elements cannot be viewed by any usergroup which does not have the deleterevision right. A user who cannot access the relevant revisions and who tries to compare the revision with other revisions or access its &oldid= page will receive an error stating that the revision has been removed from the public archives. Similarly, looking up log entries or contributions by username will not show log entries where the username has been redacted.
The button can usually be clicked by an administrator to view selected redacted entries. It will appear in bold if suppression has been applied, in which case both the redacted material and its deletion settings cannot be accessed by administrators or users who lack access to the oversight tool.
Revision deletion actions are retained even when the revision or page is deleted in the traditional manner. If a page is later undeleted, data that was deleted with RevisionDelete will still remain deleted.
When redacting the log entry of a page move, note that it will also have been recorded as an edit summary in that page's history; it will need to be redacted as well.
Limitations and issues[edit]
- The revision text of the most recent edit on a page cannot be redacted. The revision must be reverted or deleted first. Other fields (username and edit summary) can be redacted even on the most recent edit.
- Revision links change when a revision is traditionally deleted or undeleted. If a revision's visibility is modified using RevisionDelete, and the revision is later deleted or undeleted, the links in the delete log and elsewhere may break. It will be necessary to look at the page history/deleted page history/page logs to work out what revision was being referred to. (This has been reported but is not simple to fix.)
- If the edit to be revdel'd was not reverted in the edit immediately following it, all edits between it and its revert will contain the content of the edit. In this case, all of the intermediate edits must be deleted to fully hide the edit's contents.
Changing visibility settings[edit]
To hide or unhide a revision or a log entry, select the relevant revision[s] or log entry/entries that you wish to show or hide with the checkbox[es] to its/their left, and click Change visibility of selected revisions or Change visibility of selected log entries as appropriate. Depending on your permissions, there may be either three or four options to choose from:
- Delete revision text
- Delete edit comment
- Delete editor's username or IP
- Suppress data from administrators as well as others (only available to users with the suppressrevision right, namely oversighters)
In the visibility restrictions option area, tick the checkboxes next to each restriction you wish to apply to the selection, and provide a reason for the setting from the Reason dropdown menu. Optionally, enter further information into the text field. Once this information has been filled in, click Apply to selected revision to apply the change. If this has been done correctly, a success message should be displayed.
Unhiding a revision or log entry follows the same procedure. Untick the checkboxes that you wish to unset in the visibility restriction options section, and provide a reason for the change.
Hiding of a username or IP should only be used where that username or IP has a reason in and of itself to be hidden, such as accidentally editing logged out or an attack username. Hiding a username will remove the contribution completely from the user's contributions list (except from administrators, who will see a warning indicating it is invisible to users), rather than a crossed out entry for deleted edits without hidden username. This will cause issues with users trying to review actions taken on the user, as well as potential copyright violation risks.
RevisionDelete's own log entries[edit]
Use of RevisionDelete produces an entry in the public deletion log, or the private suppression log if used by an oversighter and "Suppress data from administrators as well as others" is checked. Log entries created in the public deletion log look like those displayed to the right, for page revision and log entries visibilities respectively. The options (diff | change visibility) provide an easy link to view or redact the underlying page revision to which the log entry refers.
Selective undeletion[edit]
The older method of selective undeletion (i.e. delete the entire page then selectively restore revisions) as a method of deleting revisions is deprecated in favor of this system. While selective undeletion does still have a few valid uses (such as complex history merges), it should not be used to remove revisions from the page history, due to its relative lack of transparency and poor efficiency.

With the help of some trusted allies, Charlie delves into his memories to search for clues that could change everything…and bring Bella back to him.
Sequel to the one-shot, Look After You. Canon through Eclipse.
Thanks to marielondon for the awesome banner!
Charlie's POV during Breaking Dawn of Bella's pregnancy and his first visit with her after her change. Inspired by the scene in the book where Jacob recounts how he phased in front of Charlie to keep the Cullens from leaving Forks. Written for the Fandom for Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's fundraiser Fall 2012.
It's not easy being the bald girl in high school. Bella Swan is 16, has Androgenetic Alopecia or female hair loss, and has just got her first wig. She has moved to Forks to live with her dad in a bid to escape the bullies at her old school. In Forks she meets Alice, her first real friend and Edward, the first boy to ever show any interest in her. How will they react when they find out the truth about Bella?
Picking up in New Moon with Bella and Jacob in the kitchen after the cliff jump. What if the phone call from Edward hadn't interupted thier kiss?
When Robert Pattinson needs to escape the crazy life of stardom- he finds an unlikely ally to see him to safety- a quiet bookshop owner who is secretly infatuated with Twilight, and a certain young British actor.
When Bella Swan moves to Seattle to live with her father, she keeps her head down and her mouth closed about what brought her here. Edward Cullen dismisses her, thinking that no secret could be as horrific as his own.
But the dark shadows in Bella's life rival his, and put her in far more danger than he ever could. He could save her if he let her in.
Are either of them strong enough for that?
Edward is every woman's dream and Bella's one free pass from her fiancé, Jake, but when she is locked in a room with him at the swankiest club in town, what could possibly possess her to turn him down? And why does she dream of his sad, haunted eyes?
AH, J/B established, future E/B
Bella doesn't hear news of Edward, months after he left for war, and begins to lose all hope of her love's return.
When she finds a letter she was never meant to read, how will she deal with the news she's been longing for? And when an eager stranger offers his help, will he do more harm than good?
"Only one person could pull her from the darkness, and I wasn't him."
Angst filled tale of those who are left behind, and maybe a happy ending.
Various points of view throughout.
All Canon after a little heartache.
The wolf is only part of him. Jacob Black is so much more than just a wolf. And now that he is dreaming again, the Great Spirit is determined to show him just how much more. Eventually a Jacob/Bella fic, that focus a lot on Native American beliefs and the wolves.
" alt="No Holds Barred Banner" />
When Bella opens her dance studio right next to Edward's bar, will Edward hate her...or will he fall for the girl next door? BxE, AH, OOC, rated M for naughty language and behavior.
After Edward left in New Moon something changed in Bella. When faced with her past she decides to fight back against her own demons. Unfortunately, that catches the attention of the "agency". They recruit her and train her to hunt vampires. But when a familiar family is brought to the agency's attention Bella must make a choice.
How much would you risk to save the one you love?
This one shot was my entry for the Jacob Black N Pack 'Show the Love' Valentine's One Shot Contest.
It is a look at Valentine's Day 2006 from Jacob's point of view where things work out slightly differently from canon.
Written for the Twilight Canon Tour, New Moon Round.
Edward left Bella in the forest and she went catatonic. Her parents got her to therapy and her therapist has told her she has to "write out her pain" to process it. Reluctant at first, Bella gradually finds strength and confidence in her online anonymity.
Until she realizes that, having crossed a line, she wasn't so anonymous after all.
Did Edward ever look that happy with me? Or did my blood always cause him so much pain? He said he'd always love me...in a way. But it must not have been that way...
If you faced losing everything…
Would you trade your mortality to keep just a part of what you have? Count the cost before you decide.One year after BD and all is not well. Bella's newborn year was way too easy. The newest Cullens are much harder to handle-both of them. Jasper has a tough year ahead dealing with these two! Flashes of human memories add to the tension and mystery.
Once the venom courses through your veins it's too late to change your mind.
New banner by Sunray16!!!
Carlisle Cullen considers himself a doctor first and a vampire second. His focus is to protect life. What he finds at a fatal crash seen causes him to break the treaty his family has honored for over 80 years. The entire Cullen family will face the consequences of his last minute decision. Now the wolves are pissed and the Volturi are getting nervous.
Scott and Diane started out on a family vacation they would never finish. After losing their lives and children through the fires of transformation, can they still hang on to each other? Diane's human memories, once thought lost, are slowly breaking through in the strangest of ways. Why does she recognize the vampire in one of Esme's treasured albums? By the time the Cullens figure out what's going on, all they can do is prepare for the inevitable.
This is a story of love, loss, and picking up the pieces. Even for immortals time only moves forward. There really is no way back.
Aug. 2011 Nominated in the best Angst/Drama Category
Post BD. What would happen if Jacob never imprinted on Nessie? And what would happen if, after Jasper's almost attack on Bella, his relationship with Alice was never same? With all the talk of singers and imprinting, they're missing the bigger picture. Danger is on the horizon.OC AU Jacob/OC/Jasper
Bella seeks refuge from horrible nightmares at a small all-night diner, where Edward is the new night-shift waiter. Together they help save and heal each other from their pasts and lonely existences, but can they overcome one important obstacle to be together?
This is Twilight with a twist. Bella is the vampire, Edward is the human. This story will borrow some plotline from the book, but will be mostly AU. Intrigue, seduction, murder, the Volturi...it cant get any better than that. Cannon Pairings. Varying POVs
Bella takes a vacation to Hilton Head Island in South Carolina to meet Alice's new boyfriend, Jasper. Rosalie and Emmett come along, too, just in case Bella didn't feel like enough of a fifth wheel. With Jasper's roommate out of town, Bella has his nice big bed all to herself. Until Edward comes home in the middle of the night...

Go lil yellow Roobicon...
Historical election...yes
No matter the outcome:
Our next president will not have been born in the Continental United States. 20 years ago this would have been an issue..as well a Obama being black, and Pilan being female, not to mention that Mcain is divorced and was unfaithful in his previous marriage. I know little about Biden but I'll bet there is something.. I for one am glad about how some things have changed on a political level. Not everything...but it's a start. Let's see if everyone who responds can do so as a AMERICAN...not or ... I think of something both candidates said that impressed me: (loosely quoted but close) Obama: " Our soldiers are NOT defending blue states.. or defending red states...they are defending the UNITED STATES.." Mccain: "I don't work for the Republican party, or the Democratic party..I work for the American people.." |

Oddly, what made me decide to stop writing about my son was a piece of buffalo chicken pizza.
I say "oddly" because most big decisions are prompted by big events. This past weekend, Lucas played in a rugby tournament. I was a semi-benched coach; my still-healing knee prevented me from moving up and down the sidelines. The boys were playing Sevens, the scaled-down, sped up version of the game (seven players per side instead of the usual 15, games consisting of two seven minute halves). They were running all over the field, and all I could do was stand and yell out instructions and encouragement, hoping that they heard me. Lucas was faring well; this was his first trip to the pitch in a couple of months, he was getting tired, and in rugby when you get tired you get hurt. I was nervous. And when he went down like a sack of potatoes after being on the receiving end of a high tackle - he was clotheslined, taking a forearm to the chin - those nerves spilled over.
"Motherfucker!", I yelled (which is something that as a coach and parent you generally want to avoid doing, because that's the kind of shit that makes you a YouTube star) and hobbled on to the field. The ref, a big and (lucky for me) affable ex-forward who outweighed me by at least 50 pounds, stared at me. "Dude", he said. "You need to chill." My head coach stepped in my path. "He's fine. Go back to the sidelines. It's fine." Lucas was sitting up, crying a bit...I'd seen this before, from other kids, the first time they were on the receiving end of a less-than-textbook hit. It freaks them out, because they think it should hurt, getting put down like that, and when it doesn't I'm convinced that they get freaked out even more, because that revelation that they're stronger than they ever thought they could be is the beginning of the next stage of their lives, and who wouldn't be a bit overwhelmed by that?
The moment passed. I was back on the sidelines, Lucas was back in the game, and when the day ended, he and his teammates were sweaty, exhausted, and giddy. They'd won the tourney, beating three other teams in succession. "You OK?", I asked him as he downed a Gatorade. "Tired", he said. "But good tired." Good tired. It was a phrase I'd coined when he first started playing soccer. Was he three? Four? He'd run himself ragged, come home, run around some more, collapse into bed in the evenings. "You're good tired," I'd say. "You've earned your sleep tonight."
"How do you feel? Anything hurt?" I was still a bit concerned - I'd been there, gotten the shit knocked out of me, and it's amazing how you don't feel any of it at the end of a game, getting stomped on or slammed into the ground. Adrenaline carries you home. "I'm good. Nothing hurts." He seemed a bit surprised. "You'll be sore tomorrow," I replied. He nodded. "Good sore, Dad." I laughed at that. Knowingly.
We stopped at our local pizza joint on the way home. "Let me guess - you just want cheese." He perused the pies under the display glass. "Actually," he said, "I think I want to try the buffalo chicken." I almost asked him if he was sure, but I stopped myself. Buffalo chicken pizza. A grown-up's pizza. My big man.
When Lucas sees me sit down to write, he'll inevitable ask me if I'm writing about him. "Nope", I tell him, and that's true: I write when he's asleep, late at night, early in the morning. But the question lingers - it has for a while now, ever since I told him about what I do when I sit down at the computer. And so here's where his stories become his. He's earned that. Perhaps one day, when he's older, when this site has run its course and resides in the dusty attic of the Internet, he'll come across it and read my version of his stories. I hope so. And when he reads them I hope he knows what a gift he's given me, what a gift he's been to me, in so many ways.

A new report in the journal Health Affairs found that in 2004 Ohioans spent $5,725 per person on health care in 2004, the highest rate of spending in the Great Lakes region and above the national average of $5,283. (Source: Personal Health Care Spending tables, Health Affairs.) In 1998, Ohioans spent $3,728, while they spent $2,681 in 1991. Those numbers "include spending on individual health care from all sources, including insurance, personal expenses, Medicare, Medicaid and other sources." (Source: "Health care spending highest in Northeast," Associated Press, Sept. 18, 2007.) The annual growth in health care spending in Ohio between 1998 and 2004 was 7.4%.
Overall, the Northeastern section of the United States spent the most per person on health care at $6,151. The highest per capita spending was recorded in the District of Columbia with $8,295 per person, followed by Massachusetts at $6,683, Maine at $6,540, and New York at $6,535. According to the Associated Press article, possible reasons for these states having such high spending is due to high personal income, a high concentration of physicians, and low rates of uninsured people.
The complete report, "Health Spending By State Of Residence, 1991-2004," is available on the Health Affairs website.

HTC Ozone Menu Style just a random question. i know that on the Q you could have the start menu as a list. is there a way to do that with the Ozone? thanks
Why would M$ get rid of an option like that? As on my Q9h..you have the option to choose list or grid style...
you know, i never even looked to see if it was an option without hacking it. do you know where the option would be?
on my Q9c from verizon with 6.1 I have mine on circular. It sure makes is easier to navigate that way once used to it.
Yes, I'm sorry. I'll post it in the hacks thread in just a moment. I've never seen that style. Could you post a screen shot or let us know how to do that? Thanks.

Lance Armstrong should have his seven Tour de France victories reinstated due to the prevalence of doping at the time, according to former cyclist Jan Ullrich.
"I would give Armstrong the Tour victories back. … That's how it was back then," Ullrich told the current edition of Sport Bild magazine in Berlin. "It doesn't help anyone to draw a line through the winners' list."
Ullrich, who won the Tour in 1997, finished second to Armstrong on three occasions — in 2000, 2001 and 2003 — but the German declined to stake a claim for his former rival's stripped titles.
"I only want victories that I've experienced on the bike. I don't want to win anything at the green table," he said.
Armstrong, the dominant cyclist of his generation, acknowledged in January that he doped for all seven of his Tour wins from 1999-2005. He was subsequently stripped of the titles.
Ullrich admitted to Focus magazine in June that he received blood treatments from Spanish doctor Eufemiano Fuentes.
"But I'd said that already a thousand times. There was nothing new in that," said Ullrich, who was stripped of third place in the 2005 Tour and banned for two years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport in February last year.
Last month, a French inquiry uncovered proof Ullrich used EPO when he finished second to 1998 Tour champion Marco Pantani, who also used the banned blood-booster. Pantani died from a drug overdose in 2004.
Ullrich was unapologetic when asked why he had not come clean about his doping past before.
"I decided differently," he said. "In hindsight, perhaps I would have done some things differently. But I am no god that can see everything and do everything right."
The 39-year-old Ullrich, who retired from racing in 2007, said he wanted to "firmly believe" that cycling is a now cleaner sport.

Heritage High School band director Dwight Asberry has been placed on paid administrative leave while district officials investigate complaints against the teacher.
Perris Union High School District Superintendent Jonathan Greenberg would not specify the nature of the complaints, saying it was a confidential personnel matter, but said the allegations were serious enough to warrant further investigation.
He said law enforcement officials are not involved in the investigation and there is ânothing criminal at this time.â The investigation is just getting underway and could take some time, Greenberg said.
Asberry was placed on leave Wednesday, April 10. Principal Julie Zierold met with band students Thursday morning to notify them of the investigation and reassure them that the program would continue, Greenberg said.
âThe program is not going away,â he said. âIt continues this year and next year.â
Some band parents have been asked to stay away from the program for now so that they donât impede the investigation, Greenberg said. School officials are planning to meet with band parents soon to discuss how they can help the band during this time, he said.
âWe have no problems with parents transporting and assisting,â he said. âWhat they canât do is run the program.â
District officials are still determining who will lead the program while Asberry is on leave, Greenberg said. The band program has about 95 students.
Parent Kathy Weatherman, whose daughter is on the color guard, said students and parents are upset about the districtâs decision.
âHe has been a very good band director,â Weatherman said of Asberry.
Students and parents want to know more about what happened and are worried about the future of the program, she said. The guard is scheduled to compete Saturday and has championships April 20, she said.

text: Tommy Tuberville Literally Left Texas Tech In The Middle Of A Dinner With Texas Tech RecruitsIsaac Rauch12/12/12 12:35pmFiled to: Tommy Tubervilleintegritytexas techCincinnati BearcatsCollege FootballNcaaNewsSportsAppic47EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Tommy Tuberville left Texas Tech for Cincinnati this weekend, an odd occurrence that left the athletic department at Texas Tech "completely blindsided." Also blindsided by Tuberville's exit: The recruits with whom he was having dinner, when Tuberville left—to go to the bathroom? to take a phone call from Cincinnati AD (and old Tuberville friend) Whit Babcock? to put his house on sale?—to do something pressing just before the waitress brought the food out, and never rejoined the group. It's like a father telling his kid he's going out for a pack of cigarettes and leaving forever, except Tuberville didn't give an excuse. 247Sports.com: Advertisement Advertisement Devonte Danzey of Hutchinson (Kansas) C.C. arrived in Lubbock for his official visit.Shortly after arriving in Lubbock, Danzey and at least two other recruits - lineman Sunny Odogwu and receiver Javess Blue - along with "eight to 10" coaches, including Tuberville, all went to dinner at the 50-Yard Line Restaurant on South Loop 289, Danzey said.In the midst of the conversation at the table, he asked the coaches how long they expected to be at Tech (if they were not fired), he said.Danzey says Tuberville dodged the question, prattling on for a bit about how long he'd been at Auburn (ten years! Four years ago) and then slipped away:He added: "The waitress brought our food out, and we thought (Tuberville) went to the bathroom, but he never came back to dinner. Then next thing I know, the next day, he made an announcement that he's going to Cincinnati."The best part: Tuberville must have decided to go sometime between ordering and eating, right? The next Texas Tech coach gets his entrée in a doggy bag. Danzey says he was leaning toward Tech, but will now reconsider.

SANDUSKY A Jan. 17 meeting is set for residents to hear a presentation about radioactive contamination from the former nuclear test reactor at NASA s Plum Brook facility four miles south of this Erie County seat.
The meeting will be from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Cedar Point Center on Bowling Green State University s Firelands campus, located at One University Drive in Huron.
U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur (D., Toledo) arranged the meeting after NASA revealed in October that Plum Brook, one of Lake Erie s smallest tributaries, has been radioactive for at least 32 years. Miss Kaptur said residents will be briefed by NASA, as well as members of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the Ohio Department of Health.
While the contamination in Plum Brook is believed to be only slightly above natural background levels, NASA is taking more samples from along a one-mile stretch from Pentolite Ditch to Bogart Road to see if the sediment needs to be removed.

Ninety-five years later, Sox aim to celebrate at home
Playoff dominance by Wacha, Papi among storylines in Game 6 of World Series
By Tracy Ringolsby / MLB.com
Here are five storylines to watch for in Game 6 of the World Series tonight on FOX (7:30 ET, first pitch 8:07):
It's been 95 years -- and more than a couple of disappointments -- since the Red Sox have clinched a championship in Fenway Park. They get a shot this year. Game 6 and, if necessary, Game 7 of the World Series will be played at Fenway. The Red Sox go into Wednesday's Game 6 with a 3-2 edge on the Cardinals.
How long has it been? That 1918 team closed out the Cubs in six games. Babe Ruth started and won Games 1 and 4, posting a 1.06 ERA, and Carl Mays won Games 3 and 6. The regular season was cut short, ending on Sept. 1 that year because of World War I, and the 1918 World Series is the only one played entirely in September. "The Star-Spangled Banner" was played during the seventh-inning stretch of Game 1, a tribute to American troops battling in World War I, the first time the song was played at a baseball game.
The Red Sox scored only nine runs in the six games, the fewest for a championship team. Not only was Ruth in Boston's starting rotation during the regular season, but despite playing in only 95 games, he led the team with a .300 average, 11 home runs and 66 RBIs. None of the Red Sox's position regulars hit .300, and the eight primary position players combined for only three home runs.
That championship was tainted a bit when Eddie Cicotte, one of the Black Sox, suggested the 1918 World Series was fixed. In a '20 deposition made public when it was placed on display by the Chicago Historical Museum in 2011, Cicotte insinuated that members of the '19 White Sox got the idea about throwing the World Series from members of the '18 Cubs.
Party time in Beantown?
Date | Clincher | Stadium | City |
10/28/2007 | Bos. 4, Col. 3 | Coors Field | Denver |
10/27/2004 | Bos. 3, Stl. 0 | Busch Stadium | St. Louis |
9/11/1918 | Bos. 2, Chi. 1 | Fenway Park | Boston |
10/12/1916 | Bos. 4, Bro. 1 | Braves Field | Boston |
10/13/1915 | Bos. 5, Phi. 4 | Baker Bowl | Philly |
10/16/1912 | Bos. 3, NYG 2 | Fenway Park | Boston |
10/13/1903 | Bos. 3, Pit. 0 | Hunt. Ave. Grounds | Boston |
Boston has won only two championships since -- both on the road -- sweeping St. Louis in 2004 and Colorado in '07. The Red Sox have, however, lost four World Series, and twice the Fenway faithful witnessed the deciding Game 7 at Fenway. Bob Gibson pitched his third complete game in the 1967 World Series to claim the title for the Cards, and in '75, the night after Carlton Fisk's magical moment, the Reds finished off the Sox in Game 7. Boston also lost in seven games at St. Louis in '46 and to the Mets at Shea Stadium in '86.
Wacha this
St. Louis turns to rookie right-hander Michael Wacha in Game 6 to extend the World Series. Wacha is 4-0 in four postseason starts, which equals the postseason record for wins by a starting pitcher. Randy Johnson was 5-1 in 2001 with Arizona, but his fifth victory came in Game 7, when he came on in relief to get the final four outs the night after he had gone seven innings in Game 6. Francisco Rodriguez also was 5-1 for Anaheim in '02, but he worked solely in relief.
Remarkable rookie
Date | Opp. | Game | W | L | IP | H | ER | BB | K |
9/24 | Was. | 1 | 0 | 8 2/3 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 9 | |
10/7 | @ Pit. | NLDS 4 | 1 | 0 | 7 1/3 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 9 |
10/24 | @ Bos. | WS 2 | 1 | 0 | 6 | 3 | 2 | 4 | 6 |
Totals | 5 | 0 | 35 2/3 | 12 | 3 | 10 | 37 |
There have been 17 starting pitchers to win four games in a postseason (including Johnson in 2001), and Wacha is one of 11 to go 4-0. Wacha, Josh Beckett with Boston (2007), Dave Stewart with Oakland (1989) and David Wells with the Yankees ('98) are the only ones who did it in just four starts.
Wacha, who gave up two runs (a David Ortiz home run) in six innings of the Cardinals' Game 2 win at Fenway Park, has a 1.00 ERA in his four postseason starts, tied for 17th all-time for a starting pitcher in a postseason. Gibson in 1967 with St. Louis and Hippo Vaughn with the Cubs in 1918 also had 1.00 ERAs.
Wacha's ERA is the fourth-lowest among pitchers with at least four starts. Blue Moon Odom had an 0.71 ERA in four starts with Oakland in 1972. Burt Hooton, in five starts with the Dodgers in '81, posted an 0.82 ERA, and John Smoltz notched an 0.95 ERA in five starts with Atlanta in '96.
Boston won Game 5 at St. Louis to take a 3-2 lead in the World Series, and STATS Inc., points out that the winner of Game 5 in such situations has won 26 of 40 World Series. Since 1982, however, in a World Series in which the two teams split the first four games, the winner of Game 5 had won it all only three times.
In 1996, the Yankees won Game 5 at Atlanta and finished off the Braves at Yankee Stadium in Game 6. The next year, the Marlins won Game 5 to go up 3-2, and after losing Game 6, beat the Indians in Game 7 for the title. And in 2003, the Marlins got the Yanks, winning Games 4 and 5 in Miami and then beating New York at Yankee Stadium in Game 6.
Of the seven teams to lose Game 5 and rally to win the final two games, none did it on the road.
St. Louis has rallied from a Game 5 loss twice since 1982, beginning with its win over Milwaukee that year, and also against Texas in 2011. The Red Sox were the victims against the Mets in 1986, when they went to Shea Stadium for Games 6 and 7 having won three of five, but lost back-to-back games.
Minnesota overcame the Game 5 loss in both 1987 against St. Louis and '91 against Atlanta , In both of those series, the home team won all seven games. And Arizona, in 2001, lost Game 5 at Yankee Stadium, but returned home to win Games 6 and 7, with Johnson earning both of those victories.
Designated duty
Both the Red Sox and Cardinals can welcome the DH back to the lineup for the rest of the World Series in Boston. Ortiz was able to get through the three games in St. Louis at first base, which was a no-brainer in light of the way he's been swinging the bat.
Allen Craig, meanwhile, came off the bench twice for the Cards and had a hit in both Game 3 and 4. He started at first base in Game 5 despite the sprained left foot and was 0-for-3. Now Craig can DH like he did the first two games of the World Series and lessen the demands on his foot.
Ortiz is on an amazing pace in the World Series. He has hit .733 in the first five games, putting him line for the highest average in a Series in excess of four games. Hideki Matsui hit .615 in six games for the 2009 Yankees, and Phil Garner hit .500 for the 1979 Pirates in seven games. The highest overall average for one Series was by Billy Hatcher, who hit .750 in Cincinnati's four-game sweep of Oakland in '90. Babe Ruth is second at .625 in four games with the '28 Yankees.
With 11 hits, Ortiz is two shy of the record for a World Series. It is shared by Marty Barrett of Boston in 1986, Lou Brock of St. Louis in '68, and Bobby Richardson of the Yankees in '64. All three played in seven games.
Catching on
The Red Sox are 3-0 when David Ross catches in the World Series. Manager John Farrell is going with the hot hand. Yes, Jarrod Saltalamacchia has been John Lackey's primary catcher, but Ross is tabbed to be Lackey's batterymate in Game 6.
Ross only caught Lackey twice in the regular season. Lackey lost both starts, but didn't pitch poorly. He allowed two runs in 4 1/3 innings of a 5-0 loss to the Blue Jays in his April 6 season debut, then gave up five runs (one earned) in seven innings of a May 9 start against Minnesota that Boston lost, 5-3.
Sidelined twice during the season because of concussions, Ross delivered the game-winning RBI double in the Red Sox's 3-1 win in Game 5, but more than that, he provides strong defense. He threw out 13 of 32 potential basestealers this year. Saltalamacchia is more of an offensive player, but along with critical misplays in the postseason, he has struck out in 19 of 32 at-bats.

Forum: Jack Spade & the Mission Gentrification
A Community Discussion for Action
Jack Spade, a high-end corporate chain store based in NYC, which is part of a multi-billion-dollar retail conglomerate, is set to move into the Mission District, where it would replace Abode Books on 16th Street after 25 years in the neighborhood.
But Jack Spade is, of course, just one point on the map of a neighborhood that is changing at a seemingly ever-faster rate.
Long-beloved local businesses such as Encantada Gallery, Cafe Que Tal, and many, many more are getting pushed out of the community by the escalating rents demanded by landlords in the Mission District and across the city.
Meanwhile, many long-time residents are being pushed out, through evictions and escalating rents, as well. The residents who remain witness the neighborhood around them becoming unrecognizable.
How do we, as a community, feel about this? What can we learn from each other as we consider how to confront the issues of a changing neighborhood and city? Coming from our many perspectives, are there matters that some, most, or all of us can agree upon? Is is worth, for instance, pushing back against corporate mega-retailers as they begin to muscle their way into the neighborhood? Do existing City regulations and policies around development sufficiently serve our communities? What urgent and long-term actions can we take to support existing local businesses and maintain the diversity and unique character of the Mission District? These are just a few of the questions we may discuss at this meeting.
Please join us for this public event and come prepared to share your stories and perspectives in an open and respectful discussion.
Participating organizations include:
No Jack Spade in the Mission
The Mission Economic Development Agency (MEDA)
The Center for Political Education

John Brown of Osawatomie, the guerrilla captain of Bleeding Kansas and leader of the abortive raid on Harpers Ferry to free the slaves, was hanged on the bright balmy morning of December 2, 1859. The scene of the execution of the old abolition raider was at Charlestown, then in Virginia, but soon to become Charlestown, West Virginia, through the agency of a war which Brown's Harpers Ferry foray hastened.Read more »
One hundred forty years ago, Harper's Weekly's cartoonist of genius, Thomas Nast, sired the Democratic donkey and Republican elephant into ridicule. In an environment of flourishing editorial cartoons, Nast's ready vocabulary of political symbols caught on. Within a decade the donkey and elephant had evolved from the focal points of partisan mockery into the popular mascots they are today. Read more »

Craig Hosting its home tournament in the last set of games before league play begins in earnest, Moffat County had a difficult weekend of play.
The Bulldogs played four games Friday and Saturday at Moffat County High School, losing all four in two sets. It was a frustrating couple of days for coach Starla Jensen and the players as the team couldn't generate enough consistency to pick up a win.
"They were all tough games," Jensen said. "Not tough because it was tight the entire way and back and forth, but tough in that we just lost. The team I saw Thursday in Rifle was not the team I saw Friday."
The Bulldogs lost in three sets at Rifle on Thursday, but each of them was decided by just a couple of points. On Friday night, Moffat County lost to Aspen in two sets, a team it had beaten in two a week ago.
"It was incredibly frustrating, but it's like I told the girls, we have to focus on the things we did well," Jensen said.
Aside from Aspen, Basalt, Olathe, Cedaredge and Steamboat Springs also were at the tournament. The Sailors fared better than Moffat County in Craig, posting a 3-1 record.
Head coach Wendy Hall was pleased with wins over Basalt, Cedaredge and Moffat but would have liked to see her team deliver in a two-set loss to Olathe.
"It was a little bit of a mixed bag," Hall said about Steamboat's play in the tournament. "The more we play with each other, the more we're going to trust each other. I felt like we had a good opportunity to compete against a good team (Saturday) in Olathe, and I didn't think we did that."
The Sailors have a mix of experience and talented young players they are attempting to bring along. Hall has seen her team play extremely well but also has seen them lose focus in a game.
"It was our mental efforts more so (against Olathe)," Hall said. "They were still playing hard and hustling. We just didn't play smart. I have sophomores on the floor who I'm still trying to get used to playing at that speed."
For Moffat County, focus is also important. The Bulldogs have fallen behind at various stages of their games and not responded the way Jensen would hope.
"When a couple things go wrong, it seems like we start to implode," she said. "Then we get a hole dug and can't get out of it."
For both teams, Western Slope League play picks up from here on, and the games become more important for teams hoping to make the playoffs. The loss to Olathe aside, Hall likes her team's progress.
"For the most part, I'm happy where we're at," she said. "Our potential has exceeded my expectations. But potential is just that, so we've got to keep working."
For the Bulldogs, Jensen is still trying to find out more about the team.
"We've been so up and down, I can't find consistency anywhere, and that's tough to put the right people in the right places," she said. "I think that's the 'it' I'm looking for."

Preparing for Passover in Guatemala
Wow!! Again, the time is almost here and there are plenty of things to do. One of our favorite holidays is near and we have to prepare everything. PESACH IS COMING!
For Adat Israel in Guatemala City, Passover is a special celebration. We are a community with 30 members, with Rabbi Elyse Goldstein who is our rabbi. We all feel like going out from Egypt being released and we are not slaves any more. The first step is to gather the money. We have to buy our matzah in Guatemala there is only one store where we can buy it, so we wait until they have the price. We also have matzah ball mix and Passover cake from Canada. Delicious!!
The menu is important. This year we want salmon and we will try to extend our budget to get it, but if we cannot afford it, we will have tilapia, which is also a good fish. The ladies from the community share the work in the kitchen. One cooks the main dish, another with the side dishes, another the soup, another the dessert and another the elements for the keara, the seder plate. Someone is in charge of the haroset. Last year we made a special Guatemalan version with apple, wine, honey, almonds and red beans! It was a big hit.
All the cleaning tasks are also distributed among the members. Two of us have to clean the windows, another two the floor, the stairs, the bathrooms, the rugs, the kitchen. Too much work to do, but together as a big family, we get done quickly and efficiently.
We know that in the blink of an eye, the holiday will be with us, Nisan 14. The first night we celebrate Pesach in our own houses, with our families and some friend that want to share with us the ceremony. The second night, Nisan 15, we celebrate it with the whole community and many friends. Some of them live in Guatemala and work for the embassies, others are visitors. We don't close our doors. Everybody that wants to share with us that special occasion is invited and welcome.
For the seder we follow an adaptation for Latin America
Una noche de Libertad
de Mishael Zion y Noam Zion, a beautiful book full of color and music.

The top power foods for you
Author: Kathryn Stewart Date: Friday, August 12th, 2011 | Return to Archive |
So if you haven't been functioning at 100%, try these foods to give your well-being a big boost.
Boost energy
Feel like every day is a slog? You may not be getting enough iron. Add in the fact that you lose the mineral when you menstruate, and you may feel groggy and fuzzy-headed even if you don't have a full-blown deficiency.
The remedy: Eat more red meats, fish, and poultry -- the best animal-based sources of iron. (Liver contains one of the highest amounts, too, but steer clear if you're pregnant, since its high vitamin A content may be dangerous to a developing baby.)
Don't eat meat? Go for soybeans, lentils, spinach, and fortified cereals. Iron isn't as easily absorbed by your body in those forms, but adding vitamin C will help, so enjoy a glass of OJ with those cornflakes.
If you tend to have heavy periods, you're probably losing more iron than the average woman, so be extra sure you're eating plenty of iron-rich foods, adds Carol Haggans, R.D., scientific and health communications consultant with the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Feel calm
You know that caffeine can put you on edge. But here's another source of jitters: too many refined carbs -- foods high in white flour (cookies, sugary cereals, white bread, etc.) and stripped of nutrients and fiber that normally keep your blood sugar stable.
"A big dose of refined carbs causes your blood sugar level to soar and an excessive amount of insulin to be secreted by the pancreas," says Alyse Levine, R.D., nutrition advisor for Livestrong.com.
You may be antsy as a result: think toe-tapping and/or an inability to focus. Then, the extra insulin will make your blood sugar plummet, Levine explains, leaving you feeling sluggish.
To help prevent those drastic spikes and drops in blood sugar, Levine says, your meals and snacks should be based around lean protein, healthy fats, and unrefined carbohydrates. That means loading up on brown rice, whole-grain bread and pasta, whole oats, and, of course, fruits, veggies, and legumes.
Get sharp
So you misplaced your car keys. Again. A lack of omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B12 -- both brain-boosting nutrients -- could be to blame.
"Omega-3s are loaded with DHA, a type of fatty acid that helps promote well-functioning synapses," says Joseph Quinn, M.D., associate professor of neurology at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland. Translation: It keeps neurons in your brain firing more effectively.
A lack of B12, meanwhile, has been linked with confusion, numbness, and fatigue. Up to 15% of Americans could be low on B12, according to the NIH, in part because some people may have trouble absorbing the nutrient. Get your brain back on track by chowing down on fatty, omega-3-rich fish like mackerel, trout, herring, tuna, and salmon.
To get more B12, try fortified breakfast cereal (many have 100% of the recommended daily value), liver, cooked clams, yogurt, cheese, whole eggs, and ham, as well as fish like salmon and trout.
If you're upping your intake of these foods and still feel disoriented, ask your doctor if you should consider having your B12 level tested, Haggans says.
Beat bloat
Yes, veggies and legumes are great for you. But certain ones -- like beans, broccoli, cabbage, and cauliflower -- can produce lots of gas, leaving you with major bloat. (The jury's still out as to why, but their complex sugars may be difficult to digest.)
Carbonated drinks can also increase bloat, both because they're bubbly and because their artificial sweeteners can be hard for your body to break down. If your belly's feeling swollen, try halving the amount of bloat-boosting veggies you normally eat for a week to see if that helps.
Don't cut them out completely, though, because they provide crucial nutrients, says Roshini Rajapaksa, M.D., Health magazine's medical editor and a gastroenterologist and internist at the New York University Langone Medical Center/Tisch Hospital.
Ditch soda and seltzer, but keep drinking flat water, which helps relieve constipation -- another cause of the big B. Taking probiotic supplements may help, too; talk to your doctor about which one might be right for you.
Curb cramps
It's normal to feel a little achy after a tough workout, but cramps could mean you're low on electrolytes like potassium or magnesium, Haggans says.
Potassium, for example, works with sodium to keep muscle contractions in check, so if you sweat it out, you may also have to deal with some pain in your calves or feet.
Your food Rx: While bananas are the most famous source of potassium, you actually get twice as much of the mineral from a medium-size baked potato. Prunes and orange juice have lots of it, too.
As for magnesium, go for almonds and most other nuts, greens like spinach, and bran flakes and other unrefined grains. Consuming calcium also helps; get it from low-fat milk, tofu, and dark, leafy greens like collards. Dehydration can cause cramps, too, so don't forget to keep chugging H2O.
