After each region's maintenance this week, raids will no longer lose attempts on wipes in Normal mode for Professor Putricide, Blood-Queen Lana'thel, Sindragosa, and the Lich King. There will still be limited attempts in Heroic mode.
We will continue to monitor developments in Icecrown Citadel in the future, especially since the Heroic difficulty has been unlocked by a significant number of raids.
There is a saying that generals are always trying to fight the last war. In a sense, so is Blizzard. The big problem in Trial of the Crusader was that the gap between normal and heroic was too large.
To fix that problem in ICC--to create more of a spread between the Gentry guilds, but still have many guilds eventually complete the instance--Blizzard added normal-mode attempt limits for the end bosses. I think the idea was that the normal-mode attempt limits would slow down Gentry guilds, but not really impede Aristocracy and Royalty guilds.
However, ICC turned out to be reasonably difficult. The attempt limit isn't what's holding back Gentry guilds. And the Royalty guilds are going out of their way to evade the normal mode limits, because they can't afford to fall behind on hard modes. Several edge guilds are doing alt runs of ICC first. I understand that Paragon, which got the world first Arthas kill, took this path.
So Blizzard removes the limit for Gentry guilds, and is relying on natural difficulty of the fights and the eventual Faction Leader buff to spread out the guilds.
What will be interesting to see is how Blizzard reacts to the creation of alt teams to evade time and attempt limits. I'm not really sure what they could do, other than excessive attunement chains. But if it is hard to attune alts, it is also hard to attune trials and new characters, and that has its own pitfalls.
Perhaps Blizzard will just start creating impossible fights, with a built in buff timer like the Faction Leader buff timer, and let the best guilds wipe until the buff stacks just high enough to clear the bar. Like a high jump bar slowly being lowered until someone can just clear it. Then the bar keeps going down so the rest of us can experience the fight.

Working ahead of schedule, astronauts aboard the International Space Station successfully grappled and berthed the unpiloted SpaceX Dragon re-supply capsule early Oct. 10, less than 60 hr. after the freighter lifted off.
The three-member crew was scheduled to enter the supply ship on Oct. 11, or possibly late Oct. 10, for a 17-day, 2,675-lb. cargo swap — much of it to support the 166 science experiments and technology demonstrations under way on the orbiting science laboratory. The SpaceX mission marks the first cargo flight under the Hawthorne, Calif.-based company's $1.6 billion, multi-mission NASA Commercial Resupply Services contract.
Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide, positioned at a control panel for the Canadian robot arm in the station's Cupola observation deck, reached out with the 17.7-meter (58-ft.-long) mechanical limb to nab Dragon at 6:56 a.m. EDT, nearly a half hour ahead of schedule.
Working with NASA's Mission Control, station commander Sunita Williams of NASA took over the task of berthing Dragon to the station's U.S. Harmony segment with the robot arm at 9:03 a.m. EDT, also well ahead of schedule.
"Looks like we tamed the Dragon," Williams said of a mission that signals the return of a U.S. cargo delivery and resupply capability lost as NASA's space shuttle program retired in mid-2011. "We're happy she is on board with us."
Bill Gerstenmaier, NASA's associate administrator for human exploration and operations, was among those in the Johnson Space Center control center, observing.
"I look at the vision of where we were when we laid out this concept to bring in some commercial providers," Gerstenmaier said of the agency's six-year-old Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS) program. "There were a lot of skeptics at the beginning, but as evidenced today, I think you are starting to see this can work. We need to not lose sight of how difficult this is."
The suspense that accompanied the Oct. 7 liftoff of the SpaceX CRS-1 mission — including the loss of a Falcon 9 first-stage engine 79 sec. into flight — faded once the spacecraft reached orbit and began a series of successful rendezvous maneuvers under the supervision of the SpaceX control team in Hawthorne.
Over the course of its flight and final approach, the commercial freighter transitioned smoothly from GPS, to relative GPS, lidar and thermal imaging rendezvous sensors without the temporary difficulties that surfaced during Dragon's May test mission, which prompted changes in the flight software. The test was flown under the sponsorship of the COTS program, which is nurturing a second commercial resupply contractor, Orbital Sciences Corp., of Dulles, Va., toward a spring 2013 test flight and operational missions to follow.
"They are making good solid progress," Gerstenmaier said of Orbital. "We need both companies. We can't do it with SpaceX alone."
Prior to capture, Dragon reached a series of "hold points" at 350, 250, 30 and 10 meters (1,148, 820, 98 and 33 ft.) below the station, arriving 10 to 15 min. early each time. Each "go" to advance from NASA's Mission Control followed quickly, making the complex operation seem almost leisurely at times.
"It's nice to see Dragon flying over the U.S.," Williams noted as Dragon closed within 250 meters of the station prior to the capture.
Williams and Hoshide plan to extract a multi-national cargo of food, clothing, research gear and spare parts weighing nearly 1,000 lb. The capsule will be re-loaded with nearly 1,600 lb. of equipment, including nearly 500 frozen blood and urine samples collected from crew members and stored in a freezer since the final NASA shuttle visit in July 2011.
The specimens are crucial to a range of experiments evaluating metabolic changes experienced by astronauts during long-duration spaceflight.
Dragon's departure is scheduled for Oct. 28. SpaceX recovery ships will be standing by in the Pacific Ocean off the Southern California coast to bring the capsule ashore.

Bank of China cuts off N.Korea trade bank
BEIJING (AP) — One of China's biggest banks said Tuesday that it has stopped doing business with a North Korean bank accused by the U.S. of financing Pyongyang's missile and nuclear programs.
It is the latest sign of Beijing's displeasure with its estranged ally.
The state-run Bank of China has notified the Foreign Trade Bank of North Korea that its accounts were being closed and all financial transactions suspended, said a bank spokeswoman, reading a brief statement. The spokeswoman did not identify the number of accounts closed or provide further details.
The move comes after the Chinese leadership, installed last year, has shown growing frustration with North Korea's young leader, Kim Jong Un, and the nuclear and missile tests his government has conducted, aggravating regional tensions.
In recent months, Beijing has displayed a willingness to work with Washington to apply pressure -- from signing on to U.N. sanctions to issuing a statement with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry last month urging North Korea to abandon its nuclear programs.
China is North Korea's economic lifeline, providing nearly all its fuel and most of its trade. North Korea's economic dependence on China is rising, following a standoff with South Korea that effectively shut an industrial park that was an important source of hard currency for North Korea.
The Bank of China's suspension of business further complicates the ability of the Foreign Trade Bank, North Korea's main foreign exchange bank, to access a key financial market.
In March, the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions against the Foreign Trade Bank, effectively cutting it off from the U.S. financial system. It urged Beijing to do the same.
The department called the bank a "key financial node" in North Korea's programs to develop weapons of mass destruction. It said the Foreign Trade Bank had financed other banks and companies already targeted by sanctions, including assisting in millions of dollars in transactions for the Korean Mining Development Corp., a major arms dealer.

POE::Devel::Benchmarker::Imager - Automatically converts the benchmark data into images
apoc@apoc-x300:~$ cd poe-benchmarker
apoc@apoc-x300:~/poe-benchmarker$ perl -MPOE::Devel::Benchmarker::Imager -e 'imager'
This package automatically parses the benchmark data and generates pretty charts.
It will parse the YAML output from the benchmark data and calls it's plugins to generate any charts necessary and place them in the 'images' directory under the plugin's name. This module only does the high-level stuff, and leaves the actual chart generation to the plugins.
Furthermore, we use Module::Pluggable to search all modules in the POE::Devel::Benchmarker::Imager::* namespace and let them handle the generation of images. That way virtually unlimited combinations of images can be generated on the fly from the data this module parses.
The way to use this module is by calling the imager() subroutine and let it do it's job. You can pass a hashref to it to set various options. Here is a list of the valid options:
- quiet => boolean
This enables quiet mode which will not print anything to the console except for errors.
new( { 'quiet' => 1 } );
default: false
- noxsqueue => boolean / undef
This will tell the Imager to not consider those tests for the output.
benchmark( { noxsqueue => 1 } );
default: undef ( load both xsqueue and noxsqueue tests )
- noasserts => boolean / undef
This will tell the Imager to not consider those tests for the output
benchmark( { noasserts => 1 } );
default: undef ( load both assert and noassert tests )
- litetests => boolean
This will tell the Imager to not consider those tests for the output
benchmark( { litetests => 0 } );
default: true
For now, this is undocumented. Please look at BasicStatistics for the general concept on how it interacts with this module.

BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) Levi Giese scored 17 points and Seth Hinrichs posted a double-double to lead Lafayette to a 78-57 victory over archrival Lehigh on Sunday, handing the Mountain Hawks their first Patriot League loss this season and snapping their five-game winning streak.
Hinrichs finished with 13 points and 11 rebounds for the Leopards (10-12, 3-2), who ended a five-game skid in the series, while Dan Trist had 14 points and Tony Johnson and Joey Ptasinski also scored 13 each.
Tied at 11, Lafayette used a 13-2 spurt to pull away.
After Gabe Knutson's jumper closed the gap to six to open the second half, the Leopards rattled off six straight points, four by Trist, ending the threat.
B.J. Bailey, Mackey McKnight and Knutson scored 12 apiece to lead Lehigh (14-5, 4-1), which had not lost since leading scorer C.J. McCollum broke his foot in a game against Virginia Commonwealth on Jan. 5.

Le Vieux Donjon Chateauneuf-du-Pape 2011
Winemaker Notes
Critical AcclaimAll Vintages
Famous for its full-bodied, seductive and spicy reds with flavor and aroma characteristics reminiscent of black cherry, baked raspberry, garrigue, olive tapenade, lavender and baking spice, Chateauneuf-du-Pape is the leading sub-appellation of the southern Rhône River Valley. Large pebbles resembling river rocks, called "galets" in French, dominate most of the terrain. The stones hold heat and reflect it back up to the low-lying gobelet-trained vines. Though the galets are typical, they are not prominent in every vineyard. Chateau Rayas is the most obvious deviation with very sandy soil.
According to law, eighteen grape varieties are allowed in Chateauneuf-du-Pape and most wines are blends of some mix of these. For reds, Grenache is the star player with Mourvedre and Syrah coming typically second. Others used include Cinsault, Counoise and occasionally Muscardin, Vaccarèse, Picquepoul Noir and Terret Noir.
Only about 6-7% of wine from Chateauneuf-du-Pape is white. Blends and single-varietal bottlings are typically based on the soft and floral Grenache Blanc but Clairette, Bourboulenc and Roussanne are grown with some significance.
The wine of Chateauneuf-du-Pape takes its name from the relocation of the papal court to Avignon. The lore says that after moving in 1309, Pope Clément V (after whom Chateau Pape-Clément in Pessac-Léognan is named) ordered that vines were planted. But it was actually his successor, John XXII, who established the vineyards. The name however, Chateauneuf-du-Pape, translated as "the pope's new castle," didn't really stick until the 19th century.
With bold fruit flavors and accents of sweet spice, red Rhône blends originated from France's southern Rhône Valley. Grenache, supported by Syrah and Mourvèdre typically form the base of the blend, while Carignan, Cinsault and Counoise often come in to play. With some creative interpretation, Rhône blends have also become popular in Priorat, Washington, Australia and California.
Tasting Notes for Rhône Blends
A Rhône blend is a dry, red wine and will vary according to its individual components, as each variety brings something different to the glass. Grenache is the lightest in color but contributes plenty of ripe red fruit and a plush texture. Syrah supplies dark fruit flavors, along with savory, spicy and earthy notes. Mourvèdre is responsible for a floral perfume and earthy flavor as well as structure and a healthy dose of color. New World examples tend to be fruit-forward in style, while those from the Old World will often have more earth, structure and herbal components on top of ripe red and blue fruit.
Perfect Food Pairings for Rhône Blends
Rhône Blends work with a wide variety of meat-based dishes, playing equally well with beef, pork, lamb or game. Braised beef cheeks, grilled steak or sausages, roasted pork and squab are all fine pairings.
Sommelier Secrets for Rhône Blends
Some regions like to put their own local spin on the red Rhône blend—for example, in Australia's Barossa Valley, Shiraz is commonly blended with Cabernet Sauvignon to add structure, tannin and a long finish. Grenache-based blends from Priorat often include Carignan (known locally as Cariñena) and Syrah, but also international varieties like Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. In California, anything goes, and it is not uncommon to see Petite Sirah make an appearance.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - Tennessee Tech senior Brittany Rogers played
in her final regular season home game, and the Tennessee Tech
soccer team sent her out with a bang, shutting out Austin Peay in a
2-0 victory over the Govs in Ohio Valley Conference action Sunday
"It was a really good feeling to have Senior Day and get a win," Rogers said. "All of my teammates made this really special for me."
Tech got on the board in the first half when freshman Kerri Reid beat APSU goalkeeper Carley Newman in front of the net. Kris Cambron and Jen Hoffman assisted the goal with a couple of passes that set up the scoring opportunity.
In the second half it was another freshman doing the scoring for Tech. This time it was Andrea Meloff who put a loose ball behind Newman off of a deep free kick. It was Meloff's team-leading fifth goal of the season.
Tech goalkeeper Kaitlyn Thacker made five saves, and posted her second shutout of the season, and fourth of her career.
"We're definitely happy with a 2-0 victory anytime we can get it," Tech head coach Becky Fletcher said. "Our goal is to get better every game, and there is some stuff that we definitely need to work on for next weekend. Austin Peay is a quality team, and they fight. We have a lot of respect for their program, so we'll gladly take this victory."
Austin Peay out-shot Tech 8-7, and both teams finished with five shots-on-goal.
"With today being Senior Day, I think it was really special for Brit, so I'm glad that we could send her off this field with a victory." Fletcher said.
The Golden Eagles improve to 4-9-2 on the season, and 3-1-1 in OVC play with three conference matches left. The Golden Eagles will play all three of those matches on the road, traveling to Eastern Illinois (Oct. 16), Southeast Missouri (Oct. 18) and Jacksonville State (Oct. 27).
"We like being at home, but we were on the road for the majority of our non-conference schedule, and even though we didn't win too many of those, I still feel like we're a road-weathered team, we know how to go and play on the road," Fletcher said. "The travel is going to be harder, but the girls aren't going to be scared."
Tech entered the match alone in second place in the OVC standings. The leagues top six teams advance to the OVC tournament Nov. 5-8. The regular season champion will host the tournament, and the top two seeds will earn a first-round bye.
"The girls know that we're fighting for our lives in this conference," Fletcher said. We want to finish on a better note than we did last year."

Here he is, helpfully adorned, on at least one placard. (We don't know if there were several of these things at the game Sunday. Yes, different guys are holding the signs up, but any fascist worth his salt would be able to keep multiple seditious postings from any venue he sanctions.)

An excursion deep into my picture files uncovered a treasure of forgotten bento lunches. Three of these long lost meals are from the last week of school... way back in May!
Lunch number one -
Packed in a Bynto box:
- organic baby carrots
- a jumbo silicone muffin cup filled with rolls of deli turkey and topped with a piece of dinoriffic cheddar cheese
- Wheat Thin crackers
- dill pickle spear
Lunch number two -
Packed in the Bynto box again:
- organic baby carrots and organic strawberries in a jumbo silicone cup
- turkey rolls with cheddar cheese bear heads
- Goldfish crackers
Lunch number three -
clockwise from top left: Ritz crackers, baby carrots, kiwi fruit, turkey.
These lunches were for Paige and Tyler, but I can't for the life of me remember what the occasion was. Maybe an afternoon at the pool. :)
Packed in EasyLunchboxes....
Identical lunches of bagel thins with organic cream cheese, veggie chips, cucumber slices and strawberries.

Re: st: RE: RE: xline on top of rarea
Sun, 12 Sep 2010 13:01:16 -0300
While Vince's comments are very helpful, each added line requires
specification of 4 coordinates, not 1, and more importantly one must
know beforehand the plot boundaries for the other axis. There are
ways to predict approximately where the boundaries are going to be
through doing a -summarize- to find the r(min) and r(max), but if you
are letting Stata automatically do the range, ticks and labels you may
get surprised. There is the additional problem of plot margins to
consider as well.
As far as I am concerned -pcarrowi- and -pci- are merely kludges
imitating a functionality that should exist in [x|y]line and suspect
that Vince might agree.
A little philosophical departure here: Graphs aren't drawn in just any
old way. There is a specific logical sequence of laying down the
"ink" in layers. First graph dimensions, margins, plot dimensions and
margins are created and even if nothing is drawn, they are the first
objects and determine the canvas and boxes into which all other
objects are drawn. Then the axes and any gridlines are drawn. x and
ylines are actually just individually specified gridlines and are
written just following that layer. All plotting is performed over
this basic structure, and if more than one plot is specified, each one
writes over the previous layer as if it were physical ink. Finally
text objects, labels, titles and legends are drawn since they mustn't
be covered by plots. (I may be in error about a specific detail about
the sequence but I believe what I have described here is essentially
Creating overlaid x and ylines would mean treating them as non-grid
objects, or perhaps more appropriately, as grid objects that are
defined in the usual way, but have the option of being drawn after all
plots have been drawn, but before any text objects. The way the
graphing class system works I would hope that the x and yline objects
could be defined as usual and a minor change made to where they were
penned in - the [front|back] option I proposed previously.
The xyline class objects appear to be created in a call to
_gs_parse_and_log_lines.ado. I confess I can't follow things from
there to see where they actually get penned but would be interested to
know if someone can take the explanation further.

[School design] Earning top marks for over a decade, Walters & Cohen takes its expertise to Scotland and ponders new government baseline designs, writes Rory Olcayto Photography by Dennis Gilbert/VIEW
There are few people in the school-making business who know as much about how to do it well as Michál Cohen.
Cohen has been at the forefront of the schools design debate since 2003 when Walters & Cohen, the practice she runs with Cindy Walters, was appointed to design primary school exemplars by Tony Blair's Department for Education and Skills (DfES).
Four years later, Staffordshire County Council opened the doors of Redbrook Hayes, a one-form primary school designed by the north London practice and based directly on its own exemplar.
In 2008 the firm's design for Cotham School, a Wave 4 BSF school in Bristol, was rated excellent by CABE, one of only two built schemes to be awarded top marks by the design watchdog.
And earlier this year East Dunbartonshire Council picked Walter & Cohen's design for Lairdsland Primary School in Kirkintilloch after the firm was invited to propose exemplars by the Scottish Government-backed Scottish Futures Trust (see overleaf).
EFA prototypes
Yet, just as the Scottish government is taking school design more seriously after several years of neglect, the English procurement programme is being rewritten by the Tory-led coalition government. Which means the Education Funding Agency's (EFA) baseline prototypes, promoted as 30 per cent cheaper than BSF because they cut 'wasted space', are on Cohen's mind. 'If you change the rules, that's fine. It's really good to reassess. But don't say, it's so much cheaper and better; look what we've done,' she says, visibly annoyed.
Cohen argues that while it may be cheaper, that's only because you're no longer comparing like with like. 'They want to reduce the social spaces, the flexible teaching spaces, the glue that holds the school together… maybe its the right thing. I don't know.'
What's bugging Cohen is that under the previous guidance, there was an understanding among everyone involved that the programme had emerged from serious research. 'The science of things, the numbers of things. The requirements for acoustics, energy, accessibility - all of those things. We knew the guidance was coming from people who had analysed it thoroughly but what they're saying now is, that's all out the window.'
The DfES exemplars
Cohen's frustration is understandable because the feedback she gets from headteachers at schools she's designed - she keeps in touch with most - is usually positive. At Redbrook (pictured overleaf), where Walters & Cohen 'met with and engaged with every single pupil' as part of their design process, Cohen says the headteacher recently told her that 'we still haven't had a child in the naughty book' more than five years on. 'That's probably very little to do with the building's design,' Cohen adds, although it does have much to do with the feeling the kids have about the place. 'It's their building,' she says. 'They like being there every day. It belongs to them.'
Redbrook closely follows the exemplar model. It is based on what Cohen calls the 'heart', a flexible double-height teaching space, flanked by classrooms with external access and glazed internal walls. The heart also links to the main hall to create one large activity zone, and has a cooking kiosk that can be easily accessed by all pupils. Education secretary Michael Gove would probably call it 'wasted space'.
Yet the heart has proved to be a great success and has since been used in many of Cohen's other schools.
At Redbrook, however, Cohen now thinks it could have been bigger. And the entrance was too small. But placing the community library within the plan alongside the hall has proved doubters wrong and is busier now than ever. A heart for the community? 'Exactly.'
Walters & Cohen came up with the flexible model back in the 90s. 'In 1996 we were hired by Jigsaw Day Nursery to design a new-build at Stockley Park,' says Cohen. 'Our approach was to think, "what kind of school would we like our own children to go to?" And from that question arose an early version of the heart. 'It was an idea that captured people's imagination.' And it was an idea that helped them beat 55 other practices to become one of eight architects selected to design exemplars for the DfES. 'We wanted a secondary school exemplar project,' she adds, but as BSF projects were put under pressure, 'we knew we got the better deal'.
Room for improvement
Despite its success, Cohen says the exemplar can be improved. Deciding whether to give some classroom area over to the heart, for example; 'We constantly go back to schools to see how they are working. We didn't fully understand how important it was to have transparency between the classrooms and the heart. And how you arrange the toilets and cloakrooms - that's something schools really want ownership over.'
Arranging the accommodation over two floors also appeals to Cohen. The two-form entry Hylands Primary School in Romford uses this model. 'It's really nice to see the older pupils move upstairs. It's less space hungry, too; you can do more with the site,' she says.
Cohen accepts that the now-abandoned guidelines and procedures had to change. Often it led to perverse decisions. Like when its CABE-excellent Sarah Bonnell School for Girls lost out to a rival bidder because the architects' team fell down on IT. And Cotham School, the one that got built? 'The rigour of the concept wasn't carried through to the detail. We didn't persuade the whole team to buy in. We need to learn how to ensure that doesn't happen again.'
Regardless of these difficulties, it's no surprise so many architects think the EFA prototypes are a step backwards. The pedagogic framework informing the last wave of school design was based on the belief that pupils teaching other pupils, practice by doing exercises and discussion groups were more effective than lectures, reading lessons and audio visual teaching. This belief is centred on the learning pyramid, a model developed by an American 'learning solutions' firm in the 50s and popular among British educators in recent years.
In terms of architectural form, shared flexible large-scale volumes enable these more space-hungry methods, whereas Gove's focus on rote learning clearly informs the maximum stacking, tight wall-to-floor ratios and off-site modular model the EFA is looking for. 'I'm really not sure it's been looked at closely enough,' Cohen says. 'Maybe they should just build one out first and watch how it works. Do we really need to build 40 or more in one go?'
Scottish Futures Trust
The Curriculum for Excellence
The Scottish government's Curriculum for Excellence, introduced in August 2010, is picking up speed. 'When we first met with Grant Robertson of the Scottish Futures Trust (SFT), it wasn't 'here's an area schedule'. It was 'here's our curriculum; what do we need to do?'
The SFT appointed Walters & Cohen 'because we were tried-and-tested alongside Reiach and Hall because they weren't in school design. But that was the point; they wanted to see what would emerge. And we'd worked with East Dunbartonshire Council on a reference scheme in Kirkintilloch. We were thrilled when the local authority chose to build out our proposal.'
Cohen is even more thrilled at the freedom she's been given. 'We had access to anyone we needed: planner, the highways, anyone. We had four engagement workshops with whomever we wanted. The SFT arranged everything, and this is what came out of it,' she says, handing me a hefty document complied over eight weeks of vigorous research and community consultation. The best ideas will be implemented for Lairdsland Primary on a great site overlooking the Forth and Clyde Canal.
One idea means a change of heart. Literally. The flexible learning space in Kirkintilloch is now a broad strip that fills out the space between classrooms and the waterfront's glazed facade. 'It's a layered approach, not a heart. It's an outward-looking building. It's site-specific but also responds to the Curriculum for Excellence.' And the architect will have construction costs of £2,350 per square metre to make it happen.
The bottom line? 'The space per pupil in Scotland is around 6.2m2. Under the EFA in England it's more like five. It made me think,' says Cohen, the beginning of a laugh breaking through, 'shall we move there?'

I am single at heart. I love my single life. There is not a day in my life when I wished I were married – though there are many days when I wish I had all of the perks and protections of married people, or that I wouldn't be excluded from events simply because I am single.
Other singles, though, do want to marry, including some who are in their 40s and beyond and have been single the whole time. How do they feel about their lives? That's the topic of a cover story in this Sunday's Washington Post Magazine.
You might think that people willing to tell a reporter for a national newspaper that they wanted to be married and they are still single, would tell life stories full of sorrow and loneliness and woe. That's not at all how they described their lives. I quoted some of them elsewhere, so here I'll just mention one more person from the article – James, who is 48.
James has dated often throughout his adult life. For a long time, he was "certain his time would come." Here's how the story continues:
But four years ago, he realized it might not. And, more importantly, he wasn't sure he wanted it to. "I decided, 'No, it's not right for me,' " he says.
Other single people interviewed in the story described lives full of friendship and meaningful work and the pursuit of their passions. Yes, they did want to marry – some still do – but the miserable single life that our cultural myths threaten just did not happen to them.
James had something else to say that seems important:
"Day to day is probably when I most know that I want to be single."
Among those who are not sure they want to be single, doubts and insecurities are probably greatest around holidays. It can feel awkward not to be with a spouse or romantic partner at times, and at events, when everyone else seems to be. Other anxieties are about hypothetical future events – what if I'm alone at home and I fall and can't get up? (Surprise! Even married people do not have their spouse nearby 24/7.)
If you, like James, enjoy your single life on a day-to-day basis, if on most days of the year and most years of your life, single life is the life you like best, should you really change your life so that you will feel more comfortable on those much more infrequent special days? Should you let what might happen to you in the future dictate how you spend your real life now?
On a related topic: Remember that Washington Post survey of single people that I mentioned in a previous post? More than 1500 people responded, and the results are in. I'll describe the findings in a future post.

I love Indian food. Big time. I had a major craving for samosas last weekend, and knew I had to do something about it. So, I converted my old samosa pastry dough recipe into a gluten free version. My old recipe called for yogurt, and made such a good pastry. So, I decided to venture into the world of sheep yogurt. I seemed to tolerate it just fine, and it added a tangy flavor to the crust. If you can't do any dairy, try a rice/soy/coconut yogurt substitute, or use just enough water/milk substitute to bind the flours together. I will be trying a totally dairy free pastry crust recipe in the near future, and would to try adding a bit of garbanzo flour to the flour mix. Overall, the crust was a success - tangy, crunchy, a bit chewy, and it actually held together. But like all gluten-free things, it is a bit fragile, and requires a gentle touch.
Spicy and tasty, these samosas are a little time intensive, but well worth it. Squash replaces the traditional potato in this recipe for a sweet - and colorful - twist. Fry 'em up in oil traditional style, or bake them for a low-fat version. Either way, they are tasty and delicious.
Spicy Squash Samosas
yield: 10-12 medium samosas, plus leftover filling
Samosa Filling
½ large buttercup or kabocha squash, cut into ½ inch cubes (approx 2 c chopped)
1 medium zucchini, finely diced
1 large carrot, finely diced
1½ c frozen peas
1 medium onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, crushed and minced
1 t cumin seed
1 t brown mustard seed
2-inch piece fresh ginger, grated
½ T dried tumeric or 3-inch piece fresh, grated
½ t ground cumin
½ t red pepper flakes
salt and pepper, to taste
2 T ghee or sunflower oil
Samosa Pastry Dough
1 c millet flour
1 c quinoa flour
¼ c sweet potato starch
¼ c sweet rice flour
½ c brown rice flour
1 t salt
2 T flax seed meal
1 c sheep's milk yogurt
Prepare the filling:
In large fry pan, melt ghee over medium-high heat. Add cumin and mustard seeds, and toast until they start to pop.
Add onion, garlic, ginger, and turmeric, and reduce heat to medium low. Saute for 2-3 minutes. Add carrots, saute for 2 minutes. Add squash, cover, and saute for 5 minutes. Add zucchini, and saute until all vegetables are softened, but not mushy. Add peas just before end of cooking, and season to taste with salt, pepper, ground cumin, and red pepper flakes.
Remove mixture from heat, and let cool for about 15 minutes.
Prepare the pastry dough:
In large bowl, whisk together flours, flax, and salt to introduce air and make light.
When well mixed, make a well in the center of the flours, and pour in yogurt (or yogurt replacement). Stir together until a firm dough has formed, adding more flour or starch as necessary.
Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 20 minutes or until ready to use.
Fill the samosas:
Divide dough into 10-12 sections.
On well-floured surface and with lightly moistened fingers, carefully and gently roll each ball into a 4-5 inch circle with a well-floured rolling pin, dough should be eabout 1/8 inch thick. Add flour as necessary to prevent sticking.
Place 2-3 T of the cooled filling in the center of each circle. Do not overfill - it will make the dough fall apart! Dampen the edges of the dough lightly, then fold in half. Crimp dough together with a fork, or roll the edges together if you have enough dough.
Cook 'em up:
Samosas can be baked or fried.
To bake, preheat oven to 425°. Transfer filled samosas to greased baking sheets, and gently brush with oil or ghee. Bake for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375°, flipping over samosas and brushing other side with oil/ghee. Bake 15-20 more minutes. SAmosas should be golden brown and crisp - continue baking, flipping as necessary, until dough reaches desired crispness. Remove from oven, cool 5 minutes, and serve warm!
To fry, pour 2 c oil into skillet. Use an oil with a high smoke point, like sunflower, safflower, or grapeseed. Heat on medium-high until small amount of dough sizzles when dropped into oil. Gently place samosa in oil, pressing down until fully submerged. Fry for 2-3 minutes, then turn over, and fry another 2-3 minutes. Continue until dough is golden brown. Remove from oil, and drain on paper towels. Serve warm, with your favorite chutneys, sauces, or my tasty Curried Apricot Dipping Sauce...
Curried Apricot Dipping Sauce
Because of the high sugar content, I can't eat this right now, but I had to share it for all of you who are not on the ACD. This dipping sauce is amazing with samosas, or really just about anything - I used to whip it up all the time. I don't think it needs the honey, it tastes great both with and without, but feel free to add if you want it extra sweet.
1 c dried apricots, soaked and chopped
1-2 tsp curry powder, to taste
dash cayenne pepper, to taste
pinch salt
1 tsp brown rice vinegar, ume vinegar, apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
1 tsp honey (optional)
water or apple juice
Place dried apricots in water. Let soak for a few hours, or place in microwave and heat for 2-3 minutes. Drain and chop.
Place apricots in blender or food processor with curry powder, cayenne, and vinegar/lemon juice, and honey (optional). Add a splash of water/apple juice, and blend. Continue adding liquid as necessary to reach desired consistency.
Yields: approx 1 cup

PITTSBURG — Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1555 president Antonette Bryant announced Saturday that the union would present BART's "last, best final offer" to its membership for a vote at some point in the coming week.
"We are going to vote that contract, but we know our members are going to vote it down," Bryant said during a union rally at the Pittsburg/Bay Point BART station Saturday afternoon.
Both ATU 1555 and Service Employees International Local 1021 negotiating teams rejected the offer when it was made Oct. 13, refusing to put it to a vote of their membership. Talks between BART management and the unions continued, with the aid of a federal mediator, through Thursday when they collapsed over disagreements about work rules and salary. The unions then called a strike which began Friday morning.
No talks between BART and its unions were scheduled for Saturday.
Train service continued to be closed to the public, but two workers were killed Saturday afternoon when they were struck by a train as they inspected tracks between the Walnut Creek and Pleasant Hill stations. BART officials said the train that hit the workers was returning from the Richmond train yard, where it had graffiti removed.

Wasaga Beach is a town in Simcoe County, Ontario, Canada. It is a popular four-season tourist destination situated on Nottawasaga Bay at the southern end of Georgian Bay approximately two hours north of Toronto, and abuts, to the west, the town of Collingwood. Wasaga Beach is nestled in and around 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) of white sandy beach on Nottawasaga Bay and the winding Nottawasaga River.
About Wasaga
Over two million people visit the Town every summer to stroll the shores of the Wasaga's freshwater beach (stretching 14 kilometres / 8.7 miles), swim in warm clean waters and enjoy the panoramic mountain views across the Bay. There are endless recreational trails that are used for hiking, cycling, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. The Nottawasaga River offers game fishing and great canoe routes to explore.
The beach is divided into smaller beaches with the public beaches numbered 1 to 6 sequentially from east to west. Its position on the waters of Nottawasaga Bay means its summer temperatures are moderated somewhat by the water, so summer days are much more comfortable than Toronto's scorching days, but the same winds off the water trigger very heavy and intense snow squalls in the winter. As such, snowmobiling, skiing, and other winter sports are extremely popular along the beach.
We're the only real estate company that can offer up to 1500 AIR MILES reward miles on qualified property purchases or sales. And our clients get exclusive benefits, like insider discounts at The Brick and other retailers.

Services for Wasaga Beach Transit occur in a loop from the Wasaga Stars Arena to the Real Canadian Superstore every hour from 7 AM to 7 PM. Buses serve the loop eastbound and westbound.

1. Mathew Dumba
After being cut from the 2012 world junior squad as a long-shot 17-year-old, the Red Deer Rebels defenceman heads into Round 2 with more experience, smarts, and confidence. The past year has been a struggle for Dumba, especially on-ice for the Rebels who had a roller-coaster 2011-12 season and saw their head coach Jesse Wallin replaced by owner/general manager Brent Sutter earlier this campaign. The smooth-skating Minnesota Wild 2012 draft pick and native Calgarian has a penchant for hard hits and takes creative risks with the puck. However, he's amid one of the toughest battles at camp. How will he stack up?
2. Nathan MacKinnon
This 17-year-old natural centreman did not get an invite just for the "experience." Along with his lineman Jonathan Drouin, the projected first overall 2013 NHL draft pick impressed during the Subway Super Series. Both he and Drouin found a groove with 2012 world junior centreman Jonathan Huberdeau, the Florida Panthers and third overall draft pick in 2011, and rightfully earned tryout invites. MacKinnon has speed, skill, ridiculous hands, and is destined for the NHL. He's also considered the best thing to come out of Cole Harbour, N.S., since ol' What's-his-name. But against the best junior players in the world? On a bigger, European ice surface? We'll see.
3. Laurent Brossoit
Goaltending has been an issue for Canada for the past few years and it's always a point of discussion. Laurent Brossoit knows this, understands it, and is embracing it heading into this year's world junior camp. However, the Calgary Flames goalie has to go into it with a specific mindset. Because of the travel overseas to this year's tournament, Canada is taking three netminders with them — with one, likely, getting most of the playing time. All four netminders at camp including Malcolm Subban (Belleville Bulls), Jordan Binnington (Owen Sound Attack) and Jake Paterson (Saginaw Spirit) are starting goalies on their Canadian Hockey League rosters and have a short time to prove they're the right guy for the gig. Last year, Brossoit, a Calgary Flames 2011 draft selection, had a terrific regular season and was lights-out during playoffs. However many suggested that, mentally, he collapsed at the 2012 Memorial Cup and also struggled against the Russians in a summer series. However, Brossoit redeemed himself in the eyes of Hockey Canada after recorded a shutout in the Subway Super Series.
4. Morgan Rielly
With world-class defenceman Ryan Murray out of commission with a shoulder injury, many are looking at Morgan Rielly to eat up minutes. He's an offensive defenceman; a freewheeling, creative skater who has been a proven difference maker with the Moose Jaw Warriors. Barring a natural disaster or injury, the Toronto Maple Leafs pick is going to get a serious look despite the furious battle on the Canadian blueline.
Seven spots are up for grabs between 12 defenceman this week; two of which (Dougie Hamilton and Scott Harrington) are returning veterans. Rielly, who went fifth overall in last year's NHL draft, is one of four d-men at camp that are part of the 2012 first-round class. Dumba (seventh overall, Minnesota), Griffin Reinhart (fourth overall, Edmonton), and Derrick Pouliot (eighth overall, Pittsburgh) are also fighting for a trip to Russia.
5. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
The world truly does work in mysterious ways. Cut from Canada's world junior team as a 17-year-old, Nugent-Hopkins will finally get his shot but, this time, as a locked-out NHLPA dues-paying player. The Nuge was given clearance over the weekend by the Edmonton Oilers after getting his problematic left shoulder checked out on a break with the Oilers' AHL affiliate in Oklahoma City. The first-overall 2011 draft pick also was awaiting the latest on the NHL lockout saga — also proof that everything happens for a reason. If the NHL work-stoppage continues, the 2013 world juniors will be padded significantly with players that should and are playing professional including Nugent-Hopkins and future Oilers teammate/Russian nemesis Nail Yakupov. Canada's centre position is going to be worth watching with Nugent-Hopkins in the mix. He rounds out a deep group of forwards which also includes pivots Ryan Strome, Mark Scheifele, and Jonathan Huberdeau. However, if the lockout ends ...

Having sex in a car is nothing new. You just need to do it in a secluded spot. A Pennsylvania couple parked in a garage to do it, but didn't turn the car off. That proved to be a fatal move. They both died from carbon monoxide poisoning.
Keith Payton and Salina Johnson, both 40, were found in a garage in Williamsport, PA. Salina was partially clothed and there was also marijuana and drug paraphernalia found in the garage.
They were found around 9:30 PM on Friday night and pronounced dead shortly after. The car they were in had run out of gas, as had a kerosene heater that was on in the garage. There were high amounts of carbon monoxide in the garage, which ended up being the official cause of death.

McGovern award recipients celebrated at MGPO dinner
HONORING EXCELLENCE: From left, Fernandez-del Castillo, Hurtado and Shepard
During the fifth annual physician recognition dinner hosted Nov. 12 by the Massachusetts General Physicians Organization (MGPO), nearly 600 physicians and guests gathered to celebrate the past, present and future of MGH's clinical contributions and to honor the memory of the late cardiologist Brian A. McGovern, MD, with the presentation of three awards in his name.
This year, nearly 100 physicians were nominated for the Brian A. McGovern, MD, Award for Clinical Excellence, which honors physicians who personify McGovern's dedication, compassion and kindness. The recipients, announced at the dinner, are Carlos Fernandez-del Castillo, MD, of Gastrointestinal Surgery; Rocio Hurtado, MD, of Infectious Disease; and Jo-Anne Shepard, MD, of Imaging.
MGPO Chairman and CEO David F. Torchiana, MD, gave opening remarks at the event. "Regardless of the times and the challenges we face, the essence of the MGH physician and what we do will remain – we take care of one patient at a time and we always try to give them our best," Torchiana said.
MGH President Peter L. Slavin, MD, thanked the physicians for the work they do every day and introduced a video about the Paul S. Russell, MD Museum of Medical History and Innovation. The museum will be dedicated in mid-December and open to the public early next year. For more information about the McGovern awards or to view the museum video, visit http://mgpo.partners.org.

Want to watch the big game with your favorite star?
Now, in a way, you can. Facebook is offering incentives to celebrities to participate in a "WatchWith" party during the Super Bowl.
In a letter to Re/Code, Facebook asks chosen celebs to Facebook to post about 7 pieces of Super Bowl commentary in exchange for good publicity.
Some specific posting suggestions include "Pre-game photo of your viewing party," "Commentary on performance by National Anthem singer and/or Bruno Mars at Halftime" and "Commentary on funny SB commercials."
In exchange, Facebook will provide "Amplified distribution on posts to your current FB Page fans via our internal organic and ad credit tools." Facebook also promises "Exposure to new FB fans" and "Exclusive access to new FB Pages app to facilitate the posting via mobile and enable fan engagement."
Here's the full run-down of the "Watch With" parties over at Re/Code.

Apparently, the people in movies and television have really bad hearing, peripheral vision, and awareness of their surroundings. That's why they get hit by buses at random.
You've seen the trope on countless films and shows — a character steps into the middle of a street, often yelling at a main character or threatening to expose some huge secret — and then BAM! A bus careens into them from out of nowhere. Problem solved. It's like vehicular Deus Ex Machina.
This supercut shows just how often this plot device is used, sometimes seriously, sometimes hilariously, and sometimes rather stupidly. There's even a few surprise car crashes thrown in for good measure too. (Kudos to the editor for featuring one of my favorites, Life on Mars, including the great BBC original and the shitty American remake.)
If nothing else, it's a great way to spend 12 minutes of your day, and it's a good reminder of why you should look both ways before crossing the street.

Hearing stories about awesome places to work is always inspiring, and it's no surprise that working at Dyson sounds like a pretty sweet gig. To encourage creativity, and boost morale, the company had its engineers build model drag racers using nothing but vacuum parts.
Given the limitation of only being able to harvest parts from a machine that's not really designed for speed, some of the creations Dyson's employees created are downright impressive. And surprisingly fast. One guy even created a ridable go-kart which will undoubtedly make his job a hell of a lot more fun now that the competition is over. [YouTube via Geekosystem]

Art on the Edge of Law
Click Here for a Preview of the Exhibit
"The relationship between civil rights, community organizing, self-expression and the law grows increasingly murky and intimidating, segmenting our society rather than creating a safe space for communities to come together. I Am Crime touches on issues of equity—who gets to break the law, when, and why."
— Lex Leifheit, SOMArts Executive Director
SOMArts Cultural Center presents I Am Crime: Art on the Edge of Law, an exhibition of more than 20 artists and collectives who—through visual art, video, performance, workshops, and film—challenge, question or circumvent the law through their work.

Corporate Complicity in the Holocaust: Degussa from Aryanization to Auschwitz
Wednesday, April 9, 2003
Degussa-Huls began more than 120 years ago as a refinery in Frankfurt-am-Main. Within a few years it opened a plant in New York, and over the next several decades continued to evolve- via mergers, diversification, and scientific advances-into a multi-national corporation which today operates more than 300 facilities worldwide and employs nearly 50,000 people. In Germany, to be in the employ of Degussa-Huls is to be recognized as one of the elite: only one of every seven applicants makes it through the company's selection process, which includes rigid resume screening and a five-hour test of general knowledge-all for the privilege of enrolling in a three-year training program.
Yet this titan of technology has had to confront the ghosts of its past. Between 1933 and 1945 the company realized enormous profits from precious metals and other properties expropriated from Jews. Degussa also produced Zylaon B, the cyanide derivative used in the gas chambers at Auschwitz (which alone purchased some 23,000 kilograms from Degussa) and Majdanek. Moreover, Degussa, like many industries struggling to meet production quotas at a time when 11 million Germans had been called to fight in the war, used slave labor to re-man its diminished work force. After the war, the Allies demanded that Degussa make restitution to its victims and their survivors.
Questions remain regarding Degussa's participation in the Nazi war effort. Did they have a choice? How much did they know? Peter Hayes, the Theodore Z. Weiss Professor of Holocaust Studies at Northwestern University, has devoted much of his career to uncovering evidence of corporate complicity in the Third Reich. The author of lndustry and Ideology: IG Farben in the Nazi Era (1987) and Lessons and Legacies: The Meaning of the Holocaust in a Changing World (1991), Hayes is a member of the academic advisory boards of the Fritz Bauer Institute in Frankfurt and the concentration camp memorial at Buchenwald-Dora. Professor Hayes's Golo Mann Lecture, also part of the series "Confronting Evil: Lectures on the Holocaust and Genocide," was sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies and the Pomona College Department of Sociology.

IT'S amazing where the time goes when you're having fun - and a whopping 60 MILLION of us had just that over the past 25 years at three iconic Sheffield venues.
Today we are looking back as silver jubilee celebrations get underway at Sheffield Arena, Ponds Forge International Sports Centre and Hillsborough Leisure Centre, which all opened in 1991. Their birthday gift back to the steel city is news that they have generated over £500 million between them to the region's economy. Now we are after your special memories - details below. VIDEO: Watch a special video report about 25 years at Ponds Forge - CLICK HERE. You may have been at the first ever concert at the £34 million Sheffield Arena, which was opened by Her Majesty The Queen on May 30, 1991 ahead of Paul Simon's Born at the Right Time tour. Over 16 million of us have since visited the 13,000-seater arena, which has hosted more than 3,000 events. Many of you may have met there for the first time, fallen in love and returned years later with your own kids, or now grand kids. Or you may have seen your idols play that stage, including our home grown connections including Arctic Monkeys, Joe Cocker, Pulp, Def Leppard, One Direction, Iron Maiden, Heaven 17, Human League, ABC, Reverend and the Makers and Richard Hawley. Biggest names to played there reads like a who's who of all time greats such Oasis, who played their first ever arena gig at the Arena in April 1995, Tina Turner, who played her last ever show there in 2009, Stevie Wonder, Luciano Pavarotti, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Billy Joel, Neil Diamond, Bruce Springsteen, David Bowie, Bob Dylan, The Who, Beach Boys and Michael Buble. It goes on and on...Prince, Whitney Houston, Take That, Duran Duran, Meat Loaf, Shirley Bassey, Justin Timberlake, Diana Ross, Lady GaGa and Kanye West,just to mention a few. Then of course it has hosted amazing shows and events from Disney On Ice to Batman Live, Riverdance, Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of the Worlds, Cirque du Soleil, Jesus Christ Superstar and who can forget BBC Sports Personality of the Year 2009, when our Olympic golden girl Jess Ennis-Hill was honoured. Global icons Justin Bieber, Lionel Richie, Andrea Bocelli and Bryan Adams are next - they will form part of this year's celebrations - they will all perform at the Arena this year. The GB Rio 2016 diving trials, ASA Masters and Summer and Special Olympics GB's National Summer Games will be hosted at the two sports venues. Sheffield's £53 million Olympic-standard Ponds Forge, which remains one of the world's best aquatics, sport, leisure and events venues, has welcomed more than 25 million people since it was opened by HRH Princess Anne on April 17, 1991. It has been home to the Roundhouse Nightclub, Last Laugh Comedy Club and Sheffield Sharks basketball team and acts as a training base for GB swimmers and divers. Following a recent multi-million refurbishment, the Fitness Unlimited gym at Ponds Forge, voted number one in the city by readers of The Star, is now home to a UK-first Technogym spin bike studio and virtual riding system, a Wellness System and MyWellness Cloud equipment and an innovative Prama system, which brings the gym's floors and walls to life to create an energetic and motivating atmosphere. SIV has also announced invested in a new Daktronics HD scoreboard for use at Ponds Forge aquatics events. Also opening its doors that very same day back in 1991 was Hillsborough Leisure Centre, which has been visited by 18 million people and delivered more than 1.2 million swimming lessons. With over 5,000 Fitness Unlimited members, it is home to one of Sheffield's most popular gyms offering over 100 fitness classes each week for all ages and abilities. It runs an award-winning GP Physical Activity Referral Scheme and is Inclusive Fitness Initiative-accredited for disabled users, boasts a free-form leisure pool with an interactive pirate ship, wave machine, slide and flume and is used by community clubs such as local Guides and Scout Clubs and Weight Watchers. The three venues were built by Sheffield City Council as part of the 1991 World Student Games, which left taxpayers with a bill for millions - but facilities which have produced stars like Olympic golden girl Jess and affirmed Sheffield as a world centre for sporting excellence. SIV is a subsidiary of Sheffield City Trust and serves as its operational arm - its primary objective is to improve the health and wellbeing of Sheffield people by providing facilities for sport and leisure activities. Steve Brailey MBE, chief executive of SIV, said: "We are extremely proud to be celebrating 25 years of success for these iconic leisure and entertainment venues. Over the last two and have decades, the much-loved facilities have become part of the fabric of the city - an important part in the lives of millions of people in Sheffield. "The Arena is one of Sheffield's biggest stories bringing hundreds of millions of pounds to the city economy. It has been central to the development and regeneration of the Don Valley area. "Ponds Forge and Hillsborough have made a huge impact on the lives of so many people. "Thanks to these venues, we are making Sheffield healthier and fitter." Sheffield ambassador and former sports minister Richard Caborn was one of the founders of Sheffield City Trust in 1991 and its first chair until 1997. Richard, who is now chair of the Olympic Legacy Park, said: "SIV should be rightly proud of the success of the Arena, Ponds Forge and Hillsborough and congratulated for the positive impact they've had on the city economy and the health of Sheffield people over the last 25 years. "As a Sheffielder and one of the founders of Sheffield City Trust, I have a real fondness for these venues." Olympic silver medallist Leon Taylor said: "Congratulations to everyone at SIV on reaching this milestone! I trained at Ponds Forge full time with many other members of the British diving team in our preparations for all major championships including the Olympic Games. The facilities are first-class and if you have to train all day everyday there isn't a better venue."

Turmeric & Curcumin (Curcuma longa)
RegenaLife Price: $34.99
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a rhizomatous herbaceous perennial plant of the ginger family and is the main ingredient in curry. It has a warm, bitter taste and is frequently used to flavor or color curry powders, mustards, butters, and cheeses.
The noticeable yellow/orange pigment of turmeric is called curcumin. Curcumin is thought to be the primary pharmacological agent in turmeric. In numerous studies, curcumin's effects have been shown to be comparable to the potent as well as over-the-counter drugs. Unlike the drugs, which are associated with significant toxic effects (ulcer formation, decreased white blood cell count, intestinal bleeding), curcumin produces no toxicity.
Curcumin C3 Complex is the foremost clinically studied natural and antioxidant with a variety of health benefits. RegenaLife's Curcumin Brand is a mixture of curcuminoids, not just curcumin. It also contains 2 other Curcumins called demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin.
The most active ingredient in turmeric root, bisdemethoxycurcumin, boosts the activity of the immune system, helping them to clear the amyloid beta plaques characteristic of the disease.
In healthy patients, immune cells called macrophages, which engulf and destroy abnormal cells and suspected pathogens, efficiently clear amyloid beta, but macrophage activity is suppressed in Alzheimer's patients.
Using blood samples from Alzheimer's patients, Drs. Milan Fiala and John Cashman have shown that bisdemethoxycurcumin boosts macrophage activity to normal levels, helping to clear amyloid beta. Fiala and Cashman also observed that bisdemethoxycurcumin was more effective in promoting the clearance of amyloid beta in some patients' blood than others, hinting at a genetic element. Further study revealed the genes involved are MGAT III and Toll-like receptors, which are also responsible for a number of other key immune functions. Bisdemethoxycurcumin enhances the transcription of these genes, correcting the immune defects seen in Alzheimer's patients. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2007 Jul 31;104(31):12849-54.
What are the health benefits of Curcumin C3 Complex?
Powerful antioxidant, Boosts immunity, Supports healthy cholesterol levels, Supports healthy blood sugar levels, Blocks platelet aggregation, Protects liver from toxic compounds, Stimulates macrophages to boost your body's natural defense.

I have been researching into the changing landscape of business for the past year. I've been fascinated by tribes, crowd sourcing and the new focus on communities.
I recently started to think about the way women share information (emails) versus a website. I noticed that men go to Digg and women go to a variety of sites. I wanted to create a community driven website for information that is women centric. Women would vote on articles, blogs, recipes and products and the most popular item in each category would rise to the top.
The site is for women of all ages, upon entry into the website the user will be asked if they would like to narrow down their entry by age or geography.

"A gaffe is when a politician tells the truth." -- Michael Kinsley, journalist
In California, it's all but inevitable that a lieutenant governor will take a few verbal swipes at the governor. After all, what else does a Calfornia lieutenant governor have to do? The official duties of the office are so meager (serving on some boards, including the university systems) that it should be eliminated or consolidated with other statewide executive offices.
But when Gavin Newsom took his swipes at Jerry Brown this week, he was too easily dismissed. In Sacramento, this was seen as something of a gaffe. But it was gaffe only in the Michael Kinsley sense.
Newsom told the truth about Brown. In a radio interview on KQED, Newsom praised the governor's focus on fiscal matters, but then stuck in the knife by adding, "but what we need is a vision for greatness again." He also described Brown as less than collaborative. He also aired policy differences on redevelopment and budget cuts.
All this is considered poor form in political circles -- but it's also true. Brown has made a fetish of his focus on the small things, and he has declined to put forward a broader vision for fixing California's broken system -- which some of us (including this Prop Zero blogger) think must come first if the state is going to make real progress in addressing its many challenges. And Brown is well known as a lone wolf who is extremely hands on and governs through a small circle of advisors, including his wife.
Of course, talk is cheap. And none of this means anything, unless Newsom is prepared to challenge the governor in a Democratic primary in 2014. And that seems unlikely. Newsom could have taken on Brown in 2010, but he chose not to. That caution is characteristic of the rising generation of California politicians -- they've been unwilling to take on veteran Democrats with high name recognition. It'd be useful if Newsom's talk was followed by political action.
