New Study of Splenda Reveals Shocking Information About Potential Harmful Effects
James Turner, the chairman of the national consumer education group Citizens for Health, has expressed shock and outrage after reading a new report from scientists outlining the dangers of the artificial sweetener Splenda (sucralose).
In animals examined for the study, Splenda reduced the amount of good bacteria in the intestines by 50 percent, increased the pH level in the intestines, contributed to increases in body weight and affected P-glycoprotein (P-gp) levels in such a way that crucial health-related drugs could be rejected.
The P-gp effect could result in medications used in chemotherapy, AIDS treatment and treatments for heart conditions being shunted back into the intestines, rather than being absorbed by the body.
According to Turner, "The report makes it clear that the artificial sweetener Splenda and its key component sucralose pose a threat to the people who consume the product. Hundreds of consumers have complained to us about side effects from using Splenda and this study ... confirms that the chemicals in the little yellow package should carry a big red warning label."
Dr. Mercola's Comments:
Its very important to realize that Splenda (sucralose) is actually NOT sugar, despite its marketing slogan Made from sugar, so it tastes like sugar. Rather its a chlorinated artificial sweetener in line with aspartame and saccharin, and with detrimental health effects to match.
Splenda was approved by the FDA in 1998 as a tabletop sweetener and for use in products such as baked goods, nonalcoholic beverages, chewing gum, frozen dairy desserts, fruit juices, and gelatins. Sucralose is also permitted as a general-purpose sweetener for all processed foods.
The approval was given after the FDA supposedly reviewed more than 110 animal and human safety studies, but as youll soon find out, out of these 110 studies, only two were human studies, and the longest one was conducted for four days!
Theres overwhelming evidence that consuming artificial sweeteners will likely wreak havoc on your body. Previous news has centered mainly around artificial sweeteners ability to impair your appetite regulation and leading to weight gain.
For example, its been discovered that diet soda increases your risk of metabolic syndrome and, ultimately, heart disease.
However, the study mentioned above, published in the Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, found even further disturbing news besides weight gain. Splenda:
reduces the amount of good bacteria in your intestines by 50 percent
increases the pH level in your intestines, and
affects a glycoprotein in your body that can have crucial health effects, particularly if youre on certain medications
They also found unmistakable evidence that Splenda is absorbed by fat, contrary to previous claims.
Its truly disturbing that Splenda can destroy up to 50 percent of your healthy intestinal bacteria, as these bacteria help maintain your body's overall balance of friendly versus unfriendly micro-organisms, and support your general health. Many people are already deficient in healthy bacteria due to choosing highly processed foods. This is why a high quality probiotic is one of the very few supplements I highly recommend for nearly everyone.
The Diet Fallacy
The belief that consuming artificially sweetened foods and drinks will help you to lose or maintain weight is a carefully orchestrated deception. So if you are still opting for diet choices for this reason, please understand that you have been sorely misled.
In reality, these diet foods and drinks can cause serious distortions in your biochemistry and ruin your body's ability to control calories. As a matter of fact, its been shown that diet soft drinks can double your risk of obesity!
Nearly a decade ago, studies were already revealing that artificial sweeteners can:
Stimulate your appetite
Increase carbohydrate cravings
Stimulate fat storage and weight gain
Unfortunately, most public health agencies and nutritionists in the United States still recommend these toxic artificial sweeteners as an acceptable alternative to sugar.
Now, I am definitely not a fan of sugar, but if I had to choose between sugar and any artificial sweetener, I would choose sugar, hands down, without question. I strongly believe artificial sweeteners are even more dangerous to your health than an excess of sugar.
The Health Dangers of Splenda
According to James Turner, the chairman of the national consumer education group Citizens for Health:
"This report followed accepted policies and procedures and the results make clear the potential for disturbing side effects from the ingestion of Splenda.
It is like putting a pesticide in your body. And this is at levels of intake erroneously approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
A person eating two slices of cake and drinking two cups of coffee containing Splenda would ingest enough sucralose to affect the P-glycoprotein, while consuming just seven little Splenda packages reduces good bacteria."
The web site www.truthaboutsplenda.com lists a variety of consumer complaints from Splenda consumption, such as:
Gastrointestinal problems
Blurred vision
Allergic reactions
Blood sugar increases
Weight gain
My site also contains a long list of personal testimonials from readers who have suffered side effects from Splenda. In fact, we have more people on our site that have reported adverse reactions to Splenda than were formally studied in the research submitted for FDA approval!
The symptoms are so numerous I cant include them all here, but the following are common symptoms, usually noticed within a 24-hour period following consumption of Splenda products:
Skin -- Redness, itching, swelling, blistering, weeping, crusting, rash, eruptions, or hives (itchy bumps or welts). These are the most common allergic symptoms that people have.
Lungs -- Wheezing, tightness, cough, or shortness of breath.
Head -- Swelling of the face, eyelids, lips, tongue, or throat; headaches and migraines (severe headaches).
Nose -- Stuffy nose, runny nose (clear, thin discharge), sneezing.
Eyes -- Red (bloodshot), itchy, swollen, or watery.
Stomach -- Bloating, gas, pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or bloody diarrhea.
Heart -- Palpitations or fluttering.
Joints -- Joint pains or aches.
Neurological -- Anxiety, dizziness, spaced-out sensation, depression.
Beware You Could be Consuming Splenda Without Your Knowledge
You also need to be aware of the fact that although the bulk of Splenda is sold to processed food manufacturers and soft drink bottlers, it could turn up in your medicine as well, as nearly 10 percent of all sucralose is sold to drug companies.
Many times sucralose (Splenda) will not be listed in the drug information, so there simply is no way you would know you are consuming a potentially dangerous artificial sweetener. However, if you experience any of the symptoms above even though youre avoiding Splenda and other artificial sweeteners, then it may be worth investigating the ingredients of any medications youre taking as well.
Splenda Has NEVER Been Proven Safe for Human Consumption
As of 2006, only six human trials have been published on Splenda. Of these six trials, only two of the trials were completed and published before the FDA approved sucralose for human consumption, and the two published trials had a grand total of 36 total human subjects.
36 people sure doesn't sound like many, but wait, it gets worse: only 23 total were actually given sucralose for testing, and here is the real kicker -- The longest trial at this time had lasted only four days, and looked at sucralose in relation to tooth decay, not human tolerance.
Even more shocking, the absorption of Splenda into the human body was studied on a grand total of six men! Based on that one human study, the FDA allowed the findings to be generalized as being representative of the entire human population. Including women, children, the elderly, and those with any chronic illness -- none of whom were ever examined.
The FDA claims they reviewed over 100 studies conducted on Splenda. What they don't tell you is that most of the studies were on animals. And, those animal studies reveal plenty of problems, such as:
Decreased red blood cells -- sign of anemia -- at levels above 1,500 mg/kg/day
Increased male infertility by interfering with sperm production and vitality, as well as brain lesions at higher doses
Enlarged and calcified kidneys (McNeil stated this is often seen with poorly absorbed substances and was of no toxicological significance. The FDA Final Rule agreed that these are findings that are common in aged female rats and are not significant.)
Spontaneous abortions in nearly half the rabbit population given sucralose, compared to zero aborted pregnancies in the control group
A 23 percent death rate in rabbits, compared to a 6 percent death rate in the control group
Chemically, Splenda is More Similar to DDT Than Sugar
Yes. Splenda bears more chemical similarity to DDT than it does to sugar.
Sucralose is in fact a synthetic chemical that was originally cooked up in a laboratory. It does start off as a sugar molecule. Then, in a five-step patented process of making sucralose, three chlorine molecules are added to a sucrose (sugar) molecule. The chemical process to make sucralose alters the chemical composition of the sugar so much that it is somehow converted to a fructo-galactose molecule.
This type of sugar molecule does not occur in nature, and therefore your body does not possess the ability to properly metabolize it. As a result of this "unique" biochemical make-up, McNeil Nutritionals makes its claim that Splenda is not digested or metabolized by the body, hence it has zero calories.
But, if you look at the research (which is primarily extrapolated form animal studies) you will see that in fact an average of 15 percent of sucralose IS absorbed into your digestive system, and according to this latest study, it is also absorbed into your fat cells.
Unfortunately, if you are healthy and your digestive system works well, you may be at HIGHER risk for breaking down this product in your stomach and intestines!
Your Healthiest Alternatives
If you have a craving for sweets, rather than trying to find "healthier" ways to continue indulging in them, it is in your best interest to learn ways to relieve your cravings.
The obvious one would be to stop eating any of the products to begin with. But sweets are powerfully addictive sugar has even been shown to be more addictive than cocaine. Stevia is a preferable natural substitute, which can be used in making most dishes and drinks.
However, complete avoidance of sweets is often necessary to break your addictive cycle, as your hormones insulin and leptin likely play an important role in your cravings.
If you are unable to achieve abstinence from sweets, your emotional connection to cravings might be an important factor for you. One of the most profound methods I know of for diminishing the effects of food cravings is the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). EFT is the psychological acupressure technique routinely used in my practice to help people reduce their cravings.
There is enough evidence showing the dangers of consuming artificial sweeteners to fill an entire book -- which is exactly why I wrote Sweet Deception. If you or your loved ones drink diet beverages or eat diet foods, this book will explain how you've been deceived about the truth behind artificial sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose -- for greed, for profits ... and at the expense of your own health.

I don't care how you live. I do care about people who slander others with wild claims that people are poisoning us with our food, which is being covered up by bribes to our politicians who then allow pharmaceutical companies to poison us with harmful medication in exchange for more bribes.
Our food suppliers are trying to kill us, our pharmaceutical companies are trying to kill us, and our government is trying to kill us, yet we keep living longer and longer. If they're trying to kill us they're doing it wrong.

So I'll pick a few other examples:
Horses would leave feces on the street. It would rain and melt into the puddles. Then the heat would dry turning it to dust which people then breathed in leading to lock-jaw.
Dr. Semmelweis discovered that childbed fever, often fatal and common mid-19th-century illness, could be drastically reduced by the use of hand washing with a disinfectant. Doctors were offended at the suggestion that they should wash their hands and felt this conflicted established scientific opinions of the time resulting in the rejection of Dr. Semmelweis by the medical community. Of course, it is accepted today and I've seen medical professionals make similar claims about cleanliness being the biggest reason for our improved health. We've pretty much conquered the infectious diseases—NOT the degenerative ones yet. That's the next puzzle to solve. New ones have appeared.
Horse and Buggy—> greater bacterial contamination—> more lock jaw
Automobiles —> less lock jaw
Chamber potties tossed onto streets—>greater bacterial contamination
Cleaner Water—> cholera gone
Modern plumbing—> less bacterial contamination
Modern refrigeration —> less food poisoning
doctor's washing hands—> safer medical practices for more lives saved
Vested interests do stand to lose a lot of money when someone comes forward about something not being healthy. We need people like that. Just look at both sides and make your own decision. For me, if there's too much contrary facts then I err on the side of caution. I let competition sort it out so I use stevia which is now catching on. See what a free society can do?

The U.S. Navy was founded under the authority of George Washington in 1775, with the intent to intercept British supply ships near Massachusetts. Despite success in battle during the American Revolution, a standing Navy was considered too large an expense for more than a decade. But, in 1794, pirate attacks on trade routes and increasing international conflicts cemented the importance of a strong Navy. Thus began the force that, to this day, protects U.S. interests at home and abroad.
Currently comprised of approximately 320,000 personnel, today's Navy is equipped to handle operations both on and under the sea, in the air and on the ground. Its reach is worldwide, spanning 100 international ports and touching the farthest corners of the open ocean. Elite groups within the Navy, such as the SEALs and Navy Divers, receive specialized training for advanced warfare situations. A Navy Sailor generally serves a term of four years aboard one of the Navy's 271 deployable ships, though options for shorter time commitments exist.

Before Serving in the Navy
To join the U.S. Navy, you must be between 18 and 34 years old (or 17 with parental consent). A high school diploma is preferred, but a high school equivalent such as the GED may also be accepted. All Navy recruits must take the ASVAB test to determine placement within the Service. Interested college students are encouraged to investigate the Navy ROTC program.
Navy training begins with seven to nine weeks of Boot Camp at Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, Ill. Rigorous physical and classroom exercises transform civilians into Sailors and prepare them for their first tour of duty.

Yes, the Navy provides a regular salary, health care and occupational training to all its members, plus additional pay for eligible specialists, such as aviators, divers and submariners. But the benefits don't stop there. From educational support, to 30 days' vacation, to extensive travel in exotic places, the Navy has more benefits than meet the eye.

Today's Navy is a high-tech organization with career paths in over 60 different fields. You might picture yourself aboard aircraft carriers and submarines, but you're just as likely to spend your days at a computer monitoring nuclear power or in the cockpit of an F/A-18 Super Hornet jet. Whether you are interested in full- or part-time service, find your place among the Sailors, scientists, artists and aviators who call the Navy home.

The Next Step: Training
Once someone has committed to serving in the Military, it's time for them to get the training they need to succeed.
Lt. Alex Burtness: I knew that I wanted to go to a service academy and for me the Naval Academy was the obvious choice just because you had the option of you know, flying jets, becoming an EOD Tech, you know leading Marines, driving ships, driving submarines.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Andrew Crandall: After high school, I decided that I didn't want to just go right to college. I figured I would join the Military, do something for my country, and maybe get a little money for college, on the side.
Petty Officer 3rd Class Robert Glaude: Talking with friends who are back home, it's actually pretty exciting because, you know, they've been in Texas the whole time, and I've been in two years and I've seen eight different places. Honestly, I've gotten a lot more than—than what I can measure. Like, in college courses or in money in the bank account—the life experiences I've gotten, I've got from the Navy and just the growing up, the maturity that I think I've gotten from the Navy.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Maya Dover: You really see how much you impact the Navy. It's definitely humbling.
Lt. Alex Burtness: Military service is very fulfilling. The opportunity to serve your country and work with other like-minded people and particularly for me the opportunity to do this job, I really can't imagine a line of work that is more fulfilling.closeX

Lionel Richie Pulls Out of 'Duets' Show
In the past few months, reality TV news has been buzzing with word of the new celebrity judges joining hands for ABC's new singing competition, 'Duets.' After announcing that Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles, Kelly Clarkson, Robin Thicke and Lionel Richie would be working as judges on the show, Richie has pulled out of the deal.
The soul-turned-country singer cited scheduling conflicts as his reason for skipping out on 'Duets,' according to the Boot. With only weeks before the show hits the airwaves, executives scrambled to find a new judge. Turns out, John Legend will be available to join the cast, leaving Nettles and recent crossover Kelly Clarkson to defend country's good name.
'Duets' will be similar to already-popular prime time shows like 'The Voice,' except that the famous judges will be singing with the contestants. Each coach will look for new singers, and then they will narrow down the contestants to two performers. Once they settle on two performers each, they will mentor and perform with the contestants each week. Nettles is already gaining speed in her hunt — as is Clarkson, who recently performed with some of her top picks onstage. The grand prize is a recording contract on Hollywood Records.
If Lionel Richie can't make 'Duets' work because of his schedule, he must be seriously busy, not that it's much of a surprise given how well his country debut 'Tuskegee' did on the charts. Still, Jennifer Nettles will be juggling her responsibilities on the show with Sugarland's In Your Hands Tour this summer. Despite her jam-packed calendar, she is is excited about working with new talent on 'Duets.'
"I am most excited by the opportunity to perform WITH the contestants," Nettles said in a blog post earlier this year. "And, selfishly, while I know the premise is for the contestants to have the opportunity to gain experience and knowledge by performing with the artists, I know that there will be so much for me to learn from my fellow artists on the show as well (and probably from the contestants too)."
'Duets' premieres May 24 on ABC.

NEW YORK (MainStreet) — A common complaint against those in Washington is that they end up losing touch with ordinary Americans once elected to office, but a few representatives recently bucked that phenomenon and tried living on food stamps for an entire week.
Several Democrats in the House of Representatives, including representatives Jackie Speier from California and Joe Courtney from Connecticut, signed up for the food stamp challenge last month, which entails spending just $32.59 on food over the course of an entire week to raise awareness for the many American households that live in poverty.
Courtney undertook the challenge with his wife Audrey, and each pledged to spend no more than $1.59 per meal. To make that work, the couple ended up living on a frugal mix of cereals, soups and cheese sandwiches, according to a daily log of their meals published on the website of Fighting Poverty With Faith, an interfaith group that called for members of Congress to take the challenge back in September.
On the first day of the challenge, the couple each had a bowl of cereal for breakfast, an egg salad for lunch and one black bean enchilada for dinner. In the following days, Courtney and his wife ate their fair share of cheese sandwiches, muffin mix and plenty of cereal. They shopped at discount grocery stores like Aldi and hunted down bargain-priced foods like fruits for 79 cents a pound.
"Things are going well," Courtney wrote on Oct. 23, the third-to-last-day of the challenge.
"We are a little hungry, and we definitely always look forward to the next meal."
Speier started her challenge just this week, but she has already expressed just how difficult it is on her Twitter account,
On her first full day of the challenge, Speier said she lived on an assortment of eggs and fruit with a half can of chili and some instant coffee thrown in for good measure, a combination she referred to simply as "Yuck."
It remains to be seen if she'll make it through the competition as Courtney did, but either way, it shines a light on the struggles that more than 45 million Americans go through every day to put food on the table with what little money and government assistance they have.
alh1020: A side note to the courageous efforts of the congresspersons who sacrificed a week out of their busy life for this challenge --- the congresspersons went in knowing at the end of the week they would return to their regular lifestyle. The folks who have to live off the food stamps do not have that luxury.
Members of Congress Try Living on Food Stamps | Food & Drink | Lifestyle | Mainstreet
Did you ever notice, when you put the 2 words ' The' and ' IRS ' together it spells 'Theirs...'? Tis the season............
COURAGEOUS!!!! That is hilarious!
The only thing courageous about it is that the congress members probably attempted to live on the foodstamps of only one member in their household instead of applying for multiple members; which easily slips through the system if you know the tricks of the trade as so many of my college compadres do.

EXCLUSIVEJermaine Jackson may have put the cart before the Ferrari this week ... he bought this wildly expensive whip while the MJ jury was deciding whether to give his family as much as $40 billion.
Jermaine went to Calabasas Luxury Motorcars Monday to pick up the 2009 Ferrari California, which was listed at $169,995. Sources connected to Jermaine tell us he was able to wheel-and-deal the dealer down to the low 160s.
Jermaine didn't have to plunk down the entire amount. He traded in his Rolls Royce and got around $90k. We're told he paid the balance -- just over $70k.
As we reported ... if Katherine would have won her lawsuit against AEG, Jermaine and her other kids would likely have been the beneficiaries of the judgment once she died. But it was not meant to be.
The only hope left is suing Dr. Murray ... which would put him in the Ford Focus market.

An Essential Gift for Cooks: The Pocketknife
Because they've somewhat fallen out of fashion, many cooks don't realize how important a pocketknife is to a culinary life. Sure we have our chef's knife and our paring knife safely ensconced in the home kitchen. But a cook should always be ready for whatever delicious opportunities are thrown her way and a pocketknife is essential for that readiness. Plus, a pocketknife is a thing of beauty and as such should always be encouraged.
Do you have a pocketknife? What do you use it for?
There are countless uses for a pocketknife. Just to name a few:
• Foraging mushrooms while on a walk in the woods
• All manner of foraging on a walk in the woods, actually.
• Opening oysters on the beach.
• Prying open nuts in an orchard.
• Harvesting a few vegetables or herbs while on a stroll through the garden.
• Slicing up an apple as you walk and talk with an old friend.
• Dozens and dozens of uses as a picnic implement.
• Anytime you're stuck in traffic with a car full of groceries and sudden hunger strikes.
• Filleting a just-caught fish on the beach.
• Opening a can of beans while camping, among dozens and dozens of other camping tasks.
• Spying a field full of wild fennel while on a car ride through the country and jumping out for a quick harvest.
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I do not currently have a pocketknife. This is a somewhat traumatic situation for me, so I did a little vicarious shopping on the internets and came up with this small selection.
• Pattada Shepherd's Knife from Orvis, $79
• Japanese Folding Knife from Best Made, $60 (currently on backorder)
• Limited-Edition Case Canoe Knife from Orvis, $129.00
• Opinel No 9 Carbon Steel Folding Knife from Opinel, $12.95
• Single Blade Pocket Knife from Cooper-Hewitt, $99
• Hand-Made German Anchor Knife from Garrett Wade, $39.70
• Buck 110 Folding Knife from Amazon, $30.98

Stigma of workers comp hinders job opportunities: He's gone for 472 jobs and can't get one
Unfortunately Jason's story is a common one for many injured workers. Once on workers comp for an extended period of time a stigma is automatically attached and injured workers are often viewed as liabilities best avoided by too many employers.

A father-of-five, who was hurt on a job site, has made a last-ditch effort to find work after almost 500 unsuccessful job applications.
Jason Lenane from Bonny Hills on the NSW north coast has spoken out with a simple message for would-be employers.
"Give us a chance," he said about people on workers' compensation.
A mature-aged apprenticeship paved the way to a trade Mr Lenane enjoyed but that ended with a workplace injury in October 2010.
A sprained wrist flared into a chronic pain condition called complex regional pain syndrome.
Mr Lenane said the pain had now settled down to a point where he could function and tolerate the pain.
The 38-year-old had hoped to study hydraulic engineering until his ability to save towards a degree dried up.
Now he just wants to work and is willing to re-train.
"It gets frustrating because I know I could be an asset to any organisation," he said.
Mr Lenane's resume includes 15 years' experience in the security industry, a background in retail and about 13 years in the plumbing industry.
He contacted Port Macquarie MP Leslie Williams, Lyne MP Rob Oakeshott and mayor Peter Besseling in his quest for a job.
Under state government reforms, Mr Lenane's workers' compensation payments will end on February 6.
So too will be the financial benefits available to eligible employers which include incentive payments.
Mr Lenane is facing the prospect of selling his ute and the family could have to downsize their house if a job doesn't come along soon.
He acknowledged other people were in similar positions.
"There are genuine guys out there struggling with this every day," Mr Lenane said.
He believes there should be greater understanding about workers' compensation across the board from employers to the general community.
"The hardest part is trying to get past the stigma," Mr Lenane said.
Reforms to workers' compensation have changed the way benefit claims are assessed and paid.
The state government said the reforms ensured better protection for injured workers.
A fact sheet said the workers' compensation scheme had needed major reform because it was more than $4.1 million in deficit and failing to properly support those it was supposed to protect.
Potential employers should contact Jason Lenane on 0438 822796 and on his email address firstname.lastname@example.com.

The University of Notre Dame's invitation to President Barack Obama to speak at its commencement in May—and the honorary degree it will bestow upon him—is the subject of the latest in a series of controversies that has fuelled a national debate on how Catholic colleges and universities should express their Catholic identities.
In Scranton, Pa., Bishop Joseph F. Martino engaged in a public dispute with the leadership of Misericordia University after a gay rights activist was invited to give a lecture there. At the University of San Francisco, some Catholics were angered by the decision to award Irish President Mary McAleese an honorary degree even though she has publicly supported gay rights and women's ordination. Fordham University's law school presented U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen G. Breyer with a prestigious ethics prize despite objections because of the justice's votes to uphold the legality of abortion. And the University of San Diego revoked the faculty appointment of a theologian—Rosemary Radford Ruether—after learning that she was a member of the board of an organization that supports legal abortion. "It is a part of the continuing evidence that Catholic universities are becoming intellectual and cultural ghettos where the controversial issues cannot be discussed," Ruether said following the revocation of her appointment.
Other Catholic intellectuals have expressed their concerns, and have defended their institution's decisions. "We don't see a conflict with our Catholic identity if we have a speaker on campus who may have views that are in conflict with Catholic teachings," said Kristine Maloney, a spokeswoman for the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass. "We consider the contributions the speaker has made to society as a whole, and that doesn't necessarily mean we endorse all of their positions or views. We're committed to a Jesuit tradition, which doesn't suppress educational issues and intellectual debate," she said.
Patricia McGuire, president of Trinity Washington University, argued that Catholics have long struggled to make their colleges and universities the widely respected institutions that they are and not simply the agents of parochial concerns. "The diminishment of the idea of the university by [some critics] betrays two centuries of intellectual advancement and real leadership by Catholic higher education in this nation," McGuire said.
David M. O'Connell, the Vincentian priest who is president of The Catholic University of America, said, however, that while Catholic educators should not fear views or positions contrary to Catholic teachings, they should be respectful of the church's moral values. "We should be concerned when legitimate educational activity about such matters becomes advocacy or the perception of it," Father O'Connell said. "Positions contrary to the church are not, cannot and should not be presented as equally valid to what the church holds or teaches on our Catholic campuses."
Giving voice to a similar concern, Archbishop John J. Myers of Newark, N.J., said, "We cannot justify such actions, and the [U.S.] bishops have stated so clearly and strongly." He cited the U.S. bishops' 2004 document, "Catholics in Political Life," which states that "the Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles."

Honey-Wheat Loaves
When my new Viking stand mixer arrived I immediately put it through a workout. How many egg whites would it beat to stiff-peak perfection? How big of a batch of cookie dough could it handle? Would a double batch of my favorite honey-wheat bread cause any strain on its motor?
The mixer passed each test with flying colors, and my family and others are now enjoying almost weekly loaves of wholesome, freshly baked bread. With a 1,000-watt motor and metal gear transmission, beating and then kneading the dough for the loaves can practically be completed while I go out to get the mail!
This bread is delicious hot out of the oven, spread with apple butter or jam, and stores well for several days in a zip-top plastic bag. The bread also freezes beautifully.
Combine flours and salt in a large bowl. Add 1/2 of the flour mixture to the water and pulse the mixer to combine. Mix on low speed (setting 2 on Viking Stand Mixer) for 2 minutes, turn the mixer off and add the remaining flour mixture. Pulse several times, and then mix on medium (setting 6 on Viking) and beat until the dough comes together. Stop several times and scrape down the bowl and the dough hook with a rubber spatula. Knead the dough on medium speed (setting 6) until smooth and elastic. (The dough will be a bit sticky even when properly kneaded.)
Turn the dough out into a large bowl that has been coated with oil or butter, turn it over to cover it completely with the oil or butter, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Butter two 8 1/4 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pans and set aside. Punch the dough to deflate it, then turn it out onto a floured cutting board or work surface. Divide in half. With one of the halves, pat or roll with a rolling pin to make a large (approximately 9x12-inch) rectangle. Roll the dough into a cylinder, starting at one of the short sides, and place in one of the prepared pans, seam-side down. Complete the process with the other half of the dough and brush the loaves with the melted butter. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Bake the loaves for about 35 minutes, until golden. (An instant read thermometer inserted in the center of the bread should read 200 when the loaves are done.) Cool on racks.
Makes 2 loaves.
*Unbleached all-purpose flour can be substituted

Menu 1: A Light Spring Pasta MealThis creamy-yet-light spaghetti recipe is simultaneously sophisticated and absurdly fast and easy, and the crunchy, dill-flecked salad keeps well, so you can eat the leftovers for lunch the next day.
Menu 2: A Fresh Take on Soup & Flatbread (Vegan & Gluten-Free)Socca, a chewy, crispy, gluten-free flatbread made from chickpea flour, is a quick and satisfying accompaniment to a warm, lemon-bright soup.
Menu 3: Roasted Chicken & Potatoes for a New SeasonThis isn't a heavy winter roast. Instead, tender, lemony fennel and thin-skinned new potatoes accompany quick-cooking boneless skinless chicken thighs for a comforting weeknight meal.
Menu 4: A Simple, Spiced Indian Supper (Vegetarian)This unfussy bean and tomato stew will fill the whole house with the scent of onion, ginger and spices bubbling on the stove. While it simmers, make a turmeric-spiced yellow rice and cool yogurt raita to serve alongside.
Menu 5: A Fish Dinner with Asian FlavorsWith the pungent, aromatic flavors of cilantro, ginger, and sesame, this fish recipe is fast and foolproof. Pair it with plain rice and a crunchy carrot and cabbage slaw.
Have you discovered any new favorite weeknight meals lately?

Such news is difficult for me to believe. It's a bit worrisome, too. I mean, if we can run low on .22 bullets, we can run low on anything. It would be ironic, too, if I were in the market for .22 bullets. Now that they are scarce, I could afford them. Back when they were plentiful, I struggled to come up with the price.
My dad bought a .22 single-shot rifle for me in January or February of 1952, a few weeks before my 12th birthday. It was a brand new Remington model 514. The number of rounds fired from that little rifle would surely number in the thousands. To take liberties with a famous quote, "If I had money, I bought bullets. If there was any money left, I bought food."
In those early days, before I could get any sort of paying job, I was reliant upon my parents for bullets. I can remember searching every knick-knack drawer, every button dish, and every other possible spot and coming up with just one bullet. I went hunting three times with that bullet before I had a sure shot at a rabbit. I had other opportunities to fire at a rabbit, and under other circumstances I might have taken the shot, but I had just the one bullet. If I missed, I would go home empty handed. I learned to be conservative and take only the best shots.
On my wall, above the filing cabinet there is a framed target with holes neatly punched through the bulls-eyes. On the target is written the following, "Dear Granddad, I dedicate this target to you because you taught me to shoot. This target broke the camp record. There was one adult who shot better than me. The camp record has stood for decades. I got a necklace with a leather strap that had 3 beads on each side of a bullet. I love you a lot. Chad."
At a high school reunion in Moab, a friend introduced me to his wife. He said, "This is my friend, Ollie. I had a .22 that shot fourteen times. Ollie's .22 shot just once but he always got more rabbits than I did."
Three or four years ago one of my sons came with two of my grandsons. They had a plastic gallon jar full of .22 bullets. They wanted to go out and shoot all of the bullets. I got my .22 pistol and the Browning t-bolt rifle that replaced the old Remington single-shot and away we went.
It was difficult for me to be a part of the wanton waste of so many bullets. My mind kept going back to that winter when I had just the one bullet. But, we blazed away until we grew tired of it. The plastic jar was still well over half full when we quit.
When I was approaching retirement, the staff where I worked asked Barbara what I would like for a retirement gift. She thought it over and said, "Buy him some .22 bullets."
Interestingly, the high school principal retired that same year and the staff at his school gave him a pistol as a retirement gift. I thought it would have made a great headline, "PRINCIPAL GETS PISTOL, PSYCHOLOGIST GETS BULLETS."
One of my sons-in-law in a neighboring state recently tried to buy some .22 bullets. The clerk said that they were out. He told my son-in-law that whenever an order of bullets came in, the manager would call his friends who would come and buy the entire lot. There is a sense of unease among those in the shooting sports, a feeling that they ought to be buying bullets while they still can.

Toms River, N.J. - Acting Attorney General John J. Hoffman and Colonel Rick Fuentes, Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police, presented badges to New Jersey's newest state troopers during graduation ceremonies at Pine Belt Arena Friday morning.
Montclair resident, Thomas Gilroy of the 2nd Platoon, 3rd Squad, was among the graduates. Other area residents who also graduated, included Allen Cheng of Bloomfield, Bryan Haczyk and James Calero of Nutley and Thomas Massot of Glen Ridge.
The 154th New Jersey State Police class started with 200 recruits and graduated 149 troopers. Of this graduating class, approximately one-third are minority graduates, approximately 80% have a Bachelor's Degree or higher, 40% played college sports, 25% have prior law enforcement experience, and 21% have prior military experience (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, National Guard, and Coast Guard).
The 154th class completed 24 weeks of strenuous physical and academic training consisting of exhaustive classroom and practical training scenarios. The recruits participated in extensive training and role-playing exercises focused on motor vehicle stops, domestic violence situations, human dignity, and cultural diversity. In the area of cultural diversity, the trooper recruits received detailed instruction from both State Police instructors and instructors from community and cultural organizations.
The life of a New Jersey State Police recruit is challenging in many ways. The New Jersey State Police Training Academy is one of the few residential academies in the nation. Recruits report to the academy on Monday, and they do not return home until dismissal on Friday. During this time, recruits are away from their families during significant life events. While this class was in the academy, nine recruits endured a family death, one recruit got married, and 10 recruits got engaged. With all of these events happening, the graduating recruits maintained their focus and concentration to successfully complete the training.
"Today's graduating class includes approximately one-third minority graduates, which continues a welcome diversity trend within the State Police ranks," said Governor Chris Christie. "Together with the 152nd and 153rdClasses, these new troopers represent another step in our continuing effort to develop and maintain a State Police force that reflects the diverse population it serves."
"The State Police is not only recognized as one of the finest statewide law enforcement agencies in the nation and the most visible symbol of law enforcement throughout our state, but every individual who wears a trooper's badge is recognized as a leader -- on the road, in his or her neighborhood, and in the community at large," said Acting Attorney General Hoffman. "That is why it is vital that those leaders not only receive exhaustive training, but also reflect the character and composition of our great state."
"The intensive training that troopers received and the friendships they forged over the past 24 weeks will stay with them for their entire careers and beyond," said Colonel Rick Fuentes. "The life of a New Jersey State Trooper is more challenging than ever, but in return they are rewarded by protecting and serving our communities. As these men and women proudly wear our uniform, they will be viewed as role models and leaders. Being a New Jersey State Trooper is more than a job; it's a responsibility to lead by example."
In addition to honoring all graduates from the 154th class, Colonel Fuentes presented the following awards to many Troopers for outstanding service.
Each applicant applying to the State Police is required to have a Bachelor's Degree, or alternatively, a minimum of 60 college credits, plus two years of work experience. The probationary troopers will be assigned to stations throughout the state, and over the next 11 weeks, the new troopers will begin their careers under the watchful eye of their Trooper-Coaches and supervisors.
The following is a breakdown of the 154th class

Nov. 28, 2006
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The MIT women's basketball team fell to non-conference foe Wentworth Institute of Technology, 63-46, on Tuesday night. The victory lifted the Leopards' ledger to 2-1 on the year while the Engineers dropped to 2-2.
The early stages of the game were closely played as it featured three ties and two lead changes. A lay-up by Cheyenne Noble at 14:41 put Wentworth ahead for good. MIT stayed within striking distance, trailing by three (16-13) with 6:43 left in the half. However, a jumper by the Leopards' Emily Cring ended a seven-minute scoring drought from the floor and sparked a 13-5 run to close the first frame.
Wentworth carried the momentum into the second stanza as its lead eventually grew to 19 (51-32) with 6:36 remaining in the game. The Engineers responded with eight unanswered points over the next two minutes that cut their deficit to 11. The Leopards ended the comeback attempt with back-to-back three pointers from Cring and Chelsea Proulx.
Sharon Prange scored 17 second-half points en route to a career-high total of 19 to go along with nine rebounds. Kimberly Soo Hoo bolstered MIT's offense with 12 points and four assists.

mom, i said, i'm pregnant!
it was unexpected - the pregnancy.
and her reaction.
we'd been married almost three years and had started talking about trying.
but our first miracle came in God's time, not ours.
and that was just fine by us!
mom, i said, i'm pregnant!
i don't know what i was expecting....
but it wasn't,
"no, you can't be. i'm too young to be a grandmother."
that was followed by lots of words about what she was going to say to people.
about how she was going to explain it.
explain it?
because the fact that your twenty-six year old, married daughter was expecting her first child -
that needed so, so much explaining.
how could she do this to me in this moment?
the hallway of my tiny brownstone apartment grew instantly cold.
and i wanted to get off the phone.
she just sucked the good
the joy
my joy
right out of me.
right out of the room.
and she wasn't even in the same state.
twenty-six years ago i only knew how to shut down and close her off.
we hardly spoke during my pregnancy.
she got another call from the recovery room when my wide-eyed melissa was in my arms.
in spite of herself, she was actually a pretty good grandma when they were little ones.
twenty-six years later, i see my own wrinkles,
and notice a few gray hairs...
even though my eye sight is worse than ever.
my age?
well, i'm old enough to be a grandmother!
{no, this isn't an announcement}
but isn't that something?!
i'm old enough to be a grandmother!
i will keep getting older and wrinklier,
because that's just what happens.
but i won't turn into her.
...haven't turned into her.
they say that just happens too.
but not over here.
the cycle's been broken.
did i mention?
i'm old enough to be a grandmother!!
Linking up over at Jade's place.

School of Medicine wins community service award
The UW School of Medicine received the Association of American Medical Colleges 2002 Award for Outstanding Community Service at the group's annual meeting in San Francisco last weekend. The award is given annually to just one medical school in the country.
The award honors efforts to ameliorate health-care inequities in remote small towns, in inner city neighborhoods, and among needy populations throughout the states of Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho — the WWAMI region — as well as nationally and globally.
These public service efforts result from a longstanding collaboration among the School of Medicine, thousands of physicians practicing in the WWAMI region, hundreds of the region's towns and cities, numerous clinics and agencies, and five universities: Washington State University, University of Alaska Anchorage, University of Idaho, Montana State University and the University of Wyoming.
Specifically, the Outstanding Community Service Award recognizes:
- The life-changing influence of more than 4,100 community physicians who volunteer as clinical teachers for UW medical students and as role models of a service ethic.
- The volunteer public service initiatives of UW health-professions students during their training in Seattle and in towns across the five-state region.
- Outreach efforts to diverse populations, particularly to urban and rural Native Americans and Alaska Natives.
- International health programs in which faculty and students learn first-hand about health issues in developing nations.
- Community health research that leads to volunteer action and public policy changes.
Dr. Paul G. Ramsey, vice president for medical affairs and dean of the UW School of Medicine, accepted the award on behalf of the faculty, staff and students who volunteer their time to worthy causes in the community.
"Community service is an inseparable part of the institutional mission of the UW School of Medicine," Ramsey said, "and is pervasive across all disciplines, including the basic sciences, primary-care fields, clinical specialties, and clinical subspecialties. These public service efforts are imbued with a spirit of collaboration with many institutions, agencies, and individuals working together for the common good.
"This award recognizes a highly collaborative partnership that has served the people and communities of our region for over 30 years — a partnership that has helped make our school the nation's leader in training primary care physicians."
Dr. John B. Coombs, associate vice president and associate dean for regional affairs, rural health and community relations, said, "The WWAMI region has many geographically isolated, medically underserved towns and minority populations who have chronically inadequate health care. This region is our community, a community in which faculty and students daily learn and serve and to which a large percentage of our graduates return for lifetimes of service."
The medical school's role in community service is exemplified in its programs to train and retain physicians and other health professionals for service in needy rural areas of the region, as well as in other humanitarian aims, such as faculty, staff and student volunteer work with HIV-positive and hepatitis C-positive populations, cancer patients, school children, the urban homeless and street youth, the chronically mentally ill, low-income or frail elderly, and many other groups.
The Association of American Medical Colleges is a non-profit organization founded in 1876. The AAMC represents the nation's 125 accredited medical schools, nearly 400 major teaching hospitals, more than 105,000 faculty in 98 academic and scientific societies, and the nation's 66,000 medical students and 97,000 residents.
The Association carries out a broad range of programs and studies to represent its constituents. The Association works to strengthen the quality of medical education and training, to enhance the search for biomedical knowledge, to advance research in health sciences, and to integrate education into the provision of effective health care.

Gina DeJesus and Amanda Berry have signed a book deal to tell their story.
The deal was signed with Mary Jordan, who is a Pultizer Prize winner and a former Clevelander.
Gina, Amanda, and Michelle Knight were kidnapped, held captive, and sexually abused by Arial Castro in his Seymour Avenue house for over a decade before they were rescued on May 6.
Castro was sentenced on August 1 to live in prison, plus 1,000 years. He hanged himself while in prison back in September.
Below is a statement from James R. Wooley, Jones Day, who represents Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus:
Many have told, and continue to tell, this story in ways that are both inaccurate and beyond the control of these young women. Our clients have a strong desire for privacy, but it is a reality that confronts them every day. Gina, Amanda and their families have decided to take control and are now interested in telling the story of what happened to them.
How to accomplish this is beyond us, the team of pro bono lawyers in Cleveland. We sought the advice of Mary Jordan. Mary grew up on the West Side of Cleveland. She is a Pulitzer prize winning writer from the Washington Post who writes, among other things, about strong women. But most importantly, Mary is someone I have known for 25 years. Her brother Pat was my best friend. She is a woman of great integrity and character. Mary, along with her husband and Washington Post colleague Kevin Sullivan, will collaborate with Gina and Amanda to help them write this book. Mary did not seek me out or ask to be involved. I went to her for help, knowing I could trust her, which meant everything to me.
Mary introduced us to her friend Robert Barnett who has helped presidents, world leaders and public figures caught in difficult circumstances like Amanda Knox tell their stories. One thing led to another and now Gina, Amanda and their families want to begin the process of telling this remarkable story - a story, above all else, about human dignity and human survival. They will be in control, assisted by Mary Jordan, Kevin Sullivan and Robert Barnett, people of great experience and integrity who will make sure this process is carried out in the right way.
No publishing Date has been set.

NFL's Ryan brothers get into bar scuffle
NFL's Ryan brothers get into bar scuffle
Rex and Rob Ryan, the former NFL coaches and big-talking brothers, were captured on video getting into a minor barroom scuffle over the weekend.
The pair attended Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Final in Nashville on Saturday, rooting on the hometown Predators. On Sunday, a short video that has since gone viral on social media showed the Ryans giving and taking shoves at a bar from a fellow patron. At one point, Rob appears to grab a man by the throat.
At the end of the 10-second clip, a man breaks up the small brawl.
The brothers were on the same staff in Buffalo last year, with Rex as head coach and his younger brother serving as defensive coordinator. They were fired December 27. Rex is now working as an analyst with ESPN.

greetings to all...
how about this... i have a files in PC and i want to open it in my MAC, is there any software or hardware so that i can connect between PC and MAC?
Unfortunately, at this time because both Apple and Microsoft use proprietary systems the only way to share data between the two is by using the disabled person functionality. For the system you want to read from, enable the text to speech functionality and the speech to text functionality on the other system... the rest is quite obvious.
Really pretty simple when you think about it.
If the computers are not close enough, even with the volume all the way up... you may want to try this instead:
I think all he wants to do is open PC files on a MAC. What OS are your running on the PC and what kind of MAC and OS version are you using? What kind of files are you wanting to transfer? This will better help determine what you need to do.
to SYN, or not to SYN. That is the question. -Shakespeare?
am using Mac Tiger X OS and Windows 2000 and PSD, JPG, Tiff, and pic file...
You can try out the following:-
1. Copy them using some external media like floppy drive or a USB disk.
2. Copy them over ethernet using a cross cable.
3. Copy them using the serial port.
I don't have MAC , so don't get boiled if some of these suggestions look stupid
to you .
Using a usb stick or something like that seems to be the best option to me. I don't know if using a crosscable works. If its just text you will be fine but i don't know about other types of files.
[T]he future is now.

I even checked using objdump to list dynamic syms in libGL.so and libGLcore.so. NOTHING. What's the deal? If any nvidia developers happen to read this, I've tried the email approach and got nothing. I'd appricate it if you'd tell me why the drivers for my $300 video card tell me I have an extension that I can't use. A simple "We fudged up, fixed in next release" will do just fine.

For some weird reason, Politico thinks that what Jose Canseco says about the fiscal cliff deal is news. It makes me feel bad for Patrick Gavin, the reporter who had to write about it. If I was a reporter for a news outlet and the editor told me to cover Jose Canseco's tweets, I'd be pretty pissed off about it. Though this part is pretty funny:
Canseco's comments, apparently, drummed up some interest in his own for for political office, which he accepted … sort of.
"Thank you for your support but i cant run for president because I was born in Cuba not hawaii," said Canseco, but he added that one of his New Years resolutions was, "Get elected to a important political office in the U.S. or canada to help all people and governments with there problem."
You might try learning how to spell first.

Mouse Speed Capper / Limit
Бюджет $10-30 USD
I am looking for a Windows application that will cap my mouse movement speed for a desired video-game (Counter-Strike: Global Offensive).
To explain this further. I would like my horizontal mouse movements to never exceed a certain speed. I don't know what that speed is just yet, so the program would need to let me tinker with the units. Think of this sort of in the same way of a limit inside of a car which won't let the car surpass 40 miles per hour.
So I would like to be able to move my physical mouse left/right at any speed, but then the game would move the mouse as long as I was moving my mouse, but the game wouldn't be moving the mouse faster than the limit that this program set. So hypothetically, if I was to move my mouse at 60 units per second, I would like windows to recognize / change that to 40 units per second for Counter-Strike. Again, only the horizontal movements need to be adjusted (vertical is fine too I suppose, but isn't needed).
Hopefully this is enough information to understand what I'm looking for, if not I would be glad to go into further detail.
4 фрилансеров(-а) в среднем готовы выполнить эту работу за $50
Hi, I am able to build such application. The application will set global speed for mouse pointer. Will code in c# and provide commented code. Kind regards, Narek.
I think I have information and a solution that will meet your need. Additionally, with the use of a free open source utility, you could turn this on and off with a single keystroke. Langston
Hello, sir! I would like to do this task for you. I have huge experience of programming. Some time ago i done something like this and it`s works since this time. I hope you want to work with me. Have nice day!

Real estate heiress dies after France shooting
May 21, 2014
PARIS (AP) — An official says a real estate heiress from Monaco who was shot in an ambush outside a hospital in south of France earlier this month has died of her injuries.
Helene Pastor, whose family built a real estate empire in Monaco with wealth rivaling that of the royal family, was shot May 6 after visiting her son in a hospital in Nice. Pastor's chauffeur died a few days later. The attacker fled.
An official close to the case, who spoke on condition of anonymity because it was ongoing, said Marseille's prosecutor has opened an investigation, but there have been no arrests. The official said Pastor, who was 77, died on Wednesday morning.

Racial slur on Stamford couple's garage door painted over
In a second act of vandalism, a racial slur painted on a garage door was painted over
In a second act of vandalism, a racial slur painted on a garage door was painted over
In a second act of vandalism, a racial slur painted on a garage door that the homeowner left in an effort to pressure police to investigate has been covered.
Police learned of the latest vandalism Wednesday afternoon, more than a month after Heather Lindsay, who is white, and her partner Lexene Charles, who is black, awoke to the epithet at their Bull's Head home.
The incident follows meetings Monday between Lindsay and city officials at which they agreed to lift the $100-a-day blight fine levied on Lindsay for leaving the slur visible at 81 High Clear Drive.
"It's extremely odd," police chief Jon Fontneau said outside Lindsay's blue cape. "Someone was certainly taking great risk going to someone else's home again and writing on the garage door."
Fontneau, whose department has not determined who committed either vandalism, said officers are canvassing the neighborhood and knocking on doors.
"My concern is not only for Miss Lindsay but for the neighborhood," he said. "It's not fair for her and it's not fair for the neighbors."
Lindsay, 59, told The Advocate late Wednesday morning that she planned to take up the city on its offer to replace the door so long as the investigation moved ahead.
"I'm a victim," she said. "We're targets now. This is national news. There's no turning back."
But in that conversation she did not mention the new paint, which she later told police she discovered at 8 a.m. Lindsay said she installed a security camera but it was not on to capture the event.
Lindsay last month said police had not done enough to investigate the Jan. 14 vandalism, and so she left the slur in protest, despite the mounting fine from the city.
The incident drew the attention of the national news media, as well as the NAACP and ACLU.
The former respiratory therapist and nursery school owner has said her home was vandalized other times and police never investigated. Lindsay has also said that neighbors have yelled a racial slur at Charles, whom she calls her common-law husband.
The agreement this week on the fine was the result of meetings with Lindsay, the NAACP and the mayor's office.
Lindsay will meet with the city again on Friday to discuss liens on her property, a 2,300-square-foot blue cape she took ownership of in 1992 for $100,000, according to city property records.
"I'm working out a deal and I'm very hopeful that this will conclude that chapter," Lindsay said. "They want to put up a new door and as long as we continue to make progress, I have no problem. Everyone knows what happened, so hopefully we'll come to an agreement."
Lindsay is facing two foreclosure suits on her house, one the result of more than $130,000 in unpaid fines from a 2012 blight citation. Lindsay's attorney, Andre Cayo, has said the citation was for construction materials in her yard that have since been cleared. Lindsay is scheduled to appear in court next week.
Elizabeth Carlson, Mayor David Martin's spokeswoman, said the recent fines have been lifted but the past blight case stands.
"We will not be fining the couple for this specific incident," she said.
