Black Friday Sale on Waffle Makers Causes Walmart Shoppers to 'Roll Back' Their Common Sense [NSFW VIDEO]
Black Friday turned ugly at one Arkansas Walmart over something that has probably never caused a riot in the history of the world: waffle makers.
There are always some minor scuffles on the famed Black Friday shopping day, the first day after Thanksgiving and the first official day of the holiday shopping season.
This year was not only no exception, but it may be one for the history books. One shopper in California allegedly pepper sprayed her fellow consumers over scoring the last sale-priced XBox 360.
A Walmart outside of Little Rock, Arkansas somehow managed to top that, even though there were fewer injuries but far more widespread chaos during the Black Friday sales. The store lower the price for a waffle maker and the crowd literally pushed, shoved and stepped over each other to get the last ones.
Someone witnessing the carnage caught footage of it on their cell phone and posted it to YouTube, where hopefully the world will learn that the holidays are meant to teach mankind the power of giving and togetherness...at least until the next Black Friday.
Watch the video below, which may too intense and NSFW for some viewers.

Wage labor has become so common, so "normal" in today's society, that we have forgotten how marginal – and despised -it was before the Industrial Revolution. In agrarian societies wages were what farmhands, servants and journeymen got – and for the last category it was considered temporary. All respectable working people were self employed, either owning or renting a land or running a small – or even not so small – businesses. Living on wages was something you did when you had no other choice, and, socially speaking, that put you a mere step above a beggar or a slave. It is particularly revealing that in Latin, the word for wages has the same root as the word for prostitute.
There were, of course exceptions, but they were not seen as such. Journeymen lived on wages but, at least theoretically, it was, for them only a temporary step on the way to mastership and self-sufficiency. Civil servants and officers – privates were seen, not without reason, as the scum of the society – also received a salary, but considered themselves as servants of the king in a relationship reminiscent of the old vassalage system. In many countries they bought their offices, which emphasized the fact they could live without it, should the need arise.
It was not before the spread of the factory model during the XIXth century that the wage system ceased being marginal, and this evolution was bitterly opposed by large sections of the societies. As the late Christopher Lasch pointed out in The True and Only Heaven, one of the early labor movement's goals was to stop and reverse the move toward "wage slavery". Karl Marx is often quoted in that matter, but his archenemy, the anarchist Proudhon held similar view, even if he favored a social organization based upon small property and cooperatives. Both in Europe and America, the abolition of the wage system was a major theme in early socialism.
As the artisan model became restricted to a few professionals and farmers became a tiny minority, this theme lost its strength, however. Union's focus shifted to getting higher wages, better career prospects and working conditions. With the sweeping reforms enacted by European governments after WWII, the status of wage laborer became more and more comfortable, since, along with a relatively high income, it offered some security and the ability to plan long term. It had indeed become costly of a company to fire somebody without a very good reasons – the unions were ever watchful – and in France at least lays off were subject to a prior authorization from the state.
The result was that wage labor became synonymous with job security and the ability to own a house and decently feed one's family.
This system began to unravel after the first oil shock, as companies looked for workarounds, so they could dispose of unneeded workers. Of course they found them – ironically while in France a so-called socialist held the presidency. They began to resort to fixed term contracts and interim workers. Large firms, such as my home town's shipyard shifted their manpower to contract manufacturers, retaining only core employees. Ironically , but not without reasons, this move out of "wage slavery" was, and is, as bitterly resisted by unions and left wing parties as the spread of the wage system had been in the XIXth century.
The ongoing collapse of the world economy has triggered a new step in this process. Many small businesses have gone under and most large companies are struggling. My home town's shipyard, for a contractor of which my girlfriend worked, is starved for work and is down to laying off a significant part of its core employees. The result was that a lot of people found themselves jobless – less than in America since a large part of the French manpower works for the State or one of its subsidiaries and is essentially unfirable, but quite a lot nevertheless.
Those people – the majority of whom with very specialized skills – turned to business creation out of desperation, because they felt they had no other way to make a living. Many will fail, of course, and slip into permanent poverty – independent workers have no unemployment insurance in France. Other will eke out a living with a few underpaid contracts – something the government has made easier by creating a special "self-entrepreneur" status for small businessmen , which basically means they can dispense with any decent accounting provided they pay a 21% tax and have revenues smaller than 32.000€ a year. A few will thrive – I expect my girlfriend to be among them, of course – but what will matter is that the wage system will have been dealt another blow.
As we advance further in the energy crisis and economic expansion becomes a thing of the past, we can expect wage labor to become increasingly restricted to a small core elite. Even the administration, the stronghold of job security is no longer safe. Whole branches have been quietly sold out and while today's civil servant are sure to keep their job for life, barring some dramatic political upheaval, they will eventually retire, and they will be increasingly replaced by temporary workers or independent contractors.
Eventually, the bulk of the population will be self-employed, which, for most people will mean surviving hand-to-mouth by contracting either with whatever business remains or with local authorities ... until, at some point, some crisis sweep both away, and with them the last remnants of the wage system.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 85 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
Digital Bridge Tutoring (or DigitalBridge Tutoring if more effective...)
I am an energetic, creative and professional teacher starting an online high school tutoring business focusing on Science. In my former careers I was a performing musician, private teacher, and high school music teacher. I want the feel to be modern, professional, energetic, successful, and affluent. Basically think of the things that parents would want for their students in life and academic studies. My rates will be on the higher end of things.
The image will be focused on professional, efficient, 21st Century education for the 21st Century Student. It will appeal to the adolescent digital culture, and will cater to the desire for parents to have their children be successful in their studies. It will be hip yet professional. The service offers parents the opportunity to feel good by providing the best advantage for their children. The online model saves the parent from having to drive to yet another lesson, and provides a comfortable and secure learning environment. There is also no embarrassment or teasing related to having been seen entering a physical tutoring location. Further, it facilitates those students who are trying to enter undergraduate studies.
What distinguishes this business from the local competition is its focus on the cyber learning model. Additionally, most tutoring services offer limited help on senior high school science courses such as Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.
My target audience will be those students looking to raise their grades to gain admission to the post-secondary institution of their choosing.
Make the logo: scalable, describable, memorable, and effective even without color (although I do want color).
Use the full name "DigitalBridge Tutoring" or "Digital Bridge Tutoring", whatever you think works better for design and branding purposes. I would like a logo which includes the name, but that can stand alone. I currently own several different variations of URL's in this name, I believe the strongest for SEO would be http://www.DigitalBridge-Tutoring.com. I imagine a futuristic surreal or time-space travel type of feel, but it needs to be simple, scalable, recognizable. I want the logo to convey that this service will provide a bridge to cross and close gaps in understanding and knowledge. A bridge from confusion to clarity, from struggle to success. Modern, futuristic, young, fresh, hip.
This 'DigitalBridge' is also the way that the student and tutor are communicating, via the internet.
The big hurdle I think is this: appeal to the customer (the parents) who are paying the $$$, and also the client (the students) so that they don't resist based on it being 'uncool' or whatever.
Buzz words parents want: professional, results, accountable, safe
I want the feel to be modern, professional, energetic, successful, and affluent.
Kids want: be cool/accepted, to win in life & studies, power, influence, popularity. Digital, matrix, avatar?

Thanks for the update
That sounds similar to what I was having problems with ( http://forum.world-machine.com/index.php?topic=1096.0 )Are you running the 64 bit version?
I'll see if I can replicate this -- I've gotten some error reports on a similar vein but haven't been able to reproduce them. If it reliably causes crashes, it should be easy to track this down.
The issue causing this problem has been fixed.. it will appear in the final version of the WM 2.15 patch

On the team's fifth come-from-behind game in 10 WCC contests
"I told the girls at halftime, half jokingly because I'm getting tired of it, `Well, we come from behind several times before, I'm losing count, but at least I know we can do it.' The funny thing is, it was a little bit like last night--the first half was really not indicative of what we're capable of. Pepperdine's a really good team and they came out and got after us. And we had to respond. The key, to our kids' credit, is that they did respond. I told them at halftime that I don't care if we win or lose, but go out there and represent yourselves a little bit, prove that you can play and that you're worthy of being here. In the first half, we really didn't do that. We played okay, but they were taking the fight to us. I thought in the second half we were really aggressive. We played very good defense, we established a good tone and we rebounded the ball extremely well down the stretch and we were able to come out with a win."
"I wish I knew why we keep doing this. I told them before the game, and it didn't work at all, `Okay, it's halftime and we're down by nine. Let's go.' They just kind of laughed and didn't do anything about it. But it is something we're going to need to address as coaches why we're getting off to these slow starts. Maybe it's a lineup thing, or maybe it me with some of the calls I'm starting with offensively. But as a coaching staff, we're going to reevaluate all of that to get us off to a better start. But the key is how you do at the end of the game and luckily we're doing okay that way so far."
On two key runs in the second half
"It wasn't really plays we were running, it was just them deciding, `Hey, I'm going to be a force to reckon with. I'm going to be tough to guard.' Those scores were off of skeleton plays we were running, but they would go and branch off and attack. And that's stuff we work on a lot, but it's tough to get them to do. They're so disciplined and such good kids that they want to run everything right and we're trying to tell them, `Go make a play. It's okay. If you feel like you have a read, go make it happen.' They were able to do that tonight."
On the game
"There were a couple of keys. One was rebounding. We outrebounded Pepperdine, which was huge, because we gave away some size tonight. The second thing was Pepperdine is a good defensive team, and they tried to establish that early and they did. Again, part of it was due to us not being really aggressive and attacking. But a lot of it was due to them. They were playing good defense. But in the second half, we didn't kind of wait around and see what they were going to, we decided to play. It showed. We shot 57 percent in the second half. The free throw battle was also key. We wanted to get the ball inside and be relentless in doing that, whether it be off the drive or the post and we were able to do that and get into the bonus. We went 10 of 14 vs. their two of two.
On the lead in the WCC
"We've got the lead, but there's a long way to go still. A lot of things can happen. We have two home games next week against Bay Area rival teams, one of which (Saint Mary's) got us last time, so we want to make sure we take care of business. We're really trying to stay as focused as we can about that, but what we understand is, by sweeping Loyola Marymount and Pepperdine, two very good teams that are only a game back of us right now, that we have tiebreaker on both of them and we have the hammer, so to speak. If they go and beat somebody, that works for us too. We feel good about that."

In order to attract the man of your dreams, Custom Made To Measure Suits in Westcliff it helps to dress in a way that honors your beautiful body. When I use the word "honor," I don't mean you should dress like a nun or hide yourself in an ankle-length skirt and a turtleneck.
But you should wear only clothes that make the best of your unique
shape. Too many fleshy women (and there are lots of men who prefer robust
females over skimpier lasses) are currently wandering the planet in
low-rise jeans and tank tops, Custom Suit Fitting which results in a phenomenon known as
"muffin top." In other words, they're walking around with a wedge of flab
over their waistbands. Not a good look.
Before you hop on whatever trend they're pushing in InStyle magazine,
ask yourself if the look works for you and your beautiful body. I once
read an interview with the actress Sela Ward, Mens Tailored Jackets in which she said she
chooses clothes to show off her amazing flat stomach but avoids items that expose her flabby thighs. You see, nobody's perfect!
"Wuthering Heights," I said.
"Really?" he asked. "I just finished Jane Eyre."
And so began a little romance.
Choosing Men's Suits - A Focus on Color
Still bewildered, I told my male friend B. this story years later. I
didn't understand why this Adonis chose Glow-in-the-Dark Terry over the
dark lovelies in bikinis.
"I understand completely," B. responded. "The beach was crawling with
girls in bikinis, and you presented something else. A little mystery."
"In a pair of Levis?"
"Yeah," he said. "The guy probably thought, this girl is different. I
want to talk to her."
Does this mean you should throw away your bikini? Heck, no, especially
if you look good in it. But the point is, be true to yourself. Dress to
make the very best of your unique and beautiful body.
You'll attract men who are looking for someone special for a change.
Custom Made To Measure Suits in Westcliff ?
With so many colors in mens shirts today it is sometimes difficult to know what shirt goes with what pants and what color shirts should be worn on for different occasions. While many men find themselves drawn to black dress shirts, once they get them home they are never quite sure what to wear with them or what types of occasions these shirts are most suited for.
A Casual Look
One of the reasons men are drawn to black dress shirts is that black shirts no matter what style never seem to truly make it beyond the casual category. Unless you are the rare man that can make anything look stylish and formal it is best to avoid wearing that black shirt for job interviews and professional business meetings where the more formal business look is encouraged. That being said there are many occasions where a black dress shirt can make the perfect statement and even help you stand out and look smart.
Light gray also looks great with color of shirt whether you simply choose a pair of well cut dress pants or a suit. The paler the gray the more dressy the look. Combine this shirt and pant ensemble with a black belt, black, shoes, and a silver and gray striped tie for a really great look. You can also wear a light gray sweater without the tie for a more casual look.
There are other colors that will match well with a mens shirt including black pants with a red tie or sweater and Either black or blue jeans. Black shirts make great accessories to your wardrobe if you know what colors to match your shirt with.
Formal Wear For Men
Men's wear in the 1920s is not very different from men's business attire today. A good suit, tie, hat, and shoes were all a man needed to dress in the day. Evening events were much more formal will full tuxedos even for a dinner party with friends.
To dress like a man from the 1920's you will need the following:
Suit- Suit jackets were usually single breasted, with minimal buttons, and had an overall loose appearance. Pants were held high on the waist with pleats at the top and cuffs at the bottom. In cool seasons suits were dark grey, blue or brown wile summer colors were white, ivory, pastels and occasionally pink (Gatsby wore a pink suit in novel The Great Gatsby.)
Hat- Men do not wear hats today as they did in the 1920s. Winter hats included the bowler, flat cap (also known as a cab driver hat), panama (felt), or its cousin the Fedora. Summer hats were made of straw, such as the straw Boater (aka Skimmer) or the Optimo Panama hat. Top hats were still used for formal wear.
Shoes- The final defining element of a man's dress was his shoes. Two toned spectator dress shoes were the most appropriate. Fringed tongues and wingtips on Oxfords and Brogues were seen frequently.

Iran is coming so close to the development of a nuclear weapon that Israel has a year left to preempt an attack, the latter's former intelligence chief said Sunday. Shabtai Shavit told Britain's Sunday Telegraph, "What's left is a military action" if diplomacy and sanctions against Iran don't work. Iranian Foreign Minister Manoucher Mottaki said he believes Israel is in no position to attack the widely dispersed nuclear facilities, and Iran's Revolutionary Guard commander said an Israeli or US attack will cause the Islamic republic to "impose control" over oil shipping in the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz.
Hundreds of South Koreans were hurt Sunday at another protest in Seoul over the resumption of beef imports from the US. Ignoring assurances by visiting Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice over the health of American cattle, the protesters fought police with steel pipes and rocks. The latter retaliated with water cannon. The use of tear gas has been banned in South Korea since 1999, but the Justice Ministry said police may have no choice but to resort to it if such clashes continue.
Three people were killed in Indian-controlled Kashmir over the weekend as police fired live ammunition and tear gas to quell protests by Muslims over the transfer of land to a Hindu trust. The demonstrations, now a week old, caused the People's Democratic Party, a partner in the state coalition government, to withdraw its support. The protests will continue, organizers vowed, until "we achieve freedom from Indian domination."
Defying Kosovo's declaration of independence and its UN administrators, Serb leaders formed their own parliament Sunday. A spokesman said of the move, "We will not allow the formation of another Albanian state in this part of Europe." The assembly will have no power, but analysts said it almost certainly will increase tensions between the Serb minority and ethnic Albanians, who make up 90 percent of the population.
Opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim of Malaysia fled to Turkey's Embassy in Kuala Lumpur Sunday, calling a new sodomy allegation against him "a complete fabrication." The onetime deputy prime minister was imprisoned on the same charge in the late 1990s until the nation's highest court overturned his conviction and freed him four years ago. The new accusation was made by an aide in his early 20s at a time when the three-party coalition Anwar leads was threatening to bring down the ruling National Front.
An estimated 10,000 people set fire to government buildings and more than a dozen police vehicles in southwestern China to vent their fury over the alleged coverup of a teenager's death, reports said Sunday. The violence in Guizhou Province came after authorities said the high school student had committed suicide by jumping from a bridge. A Hong Kong-based human rights group said she had been raped and murdered by men with links to the local security bureau.
A police officer and five other people were killed Saturday in Mexico, bringing to nine the number of law enforcement deaths there in a 48-hour span – and more than 450 since the government began a crackdown on organized crime two years ago. Late Thursday night, six other policemen were killed by automatic weapons fire when their patrol ran into a roadblock set up by suspected drug-gang hit men in Sinaloa State.
Member nations of the new Bank of the South announced it will establish a capital fund of $10 billion for development projects across South America. The bank was set up by Venezuela last fall as a counterweight to the International Monetary Fund, World Bank, and private US lenders.

Rutgers makes statement on Jordan as alum
Piscataway, NJ – Rutgers University admitted their mistake in stating their new head men's basketball coach, Eddie Jordan, was an alumnus.
The school had stated in his bio as such, and reports surfaced Friday saying he had never received his degree before Rutgers quickly issued a statement.
"While Rutgers was in error when it reported that Eddie Jordan had earned a degree from Rutgers University, neither Rutgers nor the NCAA requires a head coach to hold a baccalaureate degree," the statement read. "Eddie Jordan was a four-year letterman and was inducted into the Rutgers Athletics Hall of Fame in 1980. Rutgers sought Eddie for the head coach position as a target-of- opportunity hire based on his remarkable public career.
His athletic skills and leadership and his professional accomplishments have been a source of pride for Rutgers for more than three decades. We are excited to have him as our men���s basketball coach, and we look forward to many winning seasons."
Jordan was officially named the new head coach on Apr. 23 after the basketball program was rocked by revelations of player abuse under predecessor Mike Rice.

Based on the U-M's "Undocumented Migration Project," the exhibit, says Institute for the Humanities Communications Specialist Stephanie Harrell, traces "the human experience — backpacks, water bottles, border patrol restraints, and other objects left behind in the desert by both undocumented migrants on their journey into the U.S. and the law enforcement agents who seek to keep them out."
A seriously packed multimedia installation, the exhibit consists of video taken by New York City-based photographer/videographer Richard Barnes and artifacts collected by U-M anthropologist Jason De Leon, as coordinated by Institute for the Humanities curator Amanda Krugliak.
Following up, Harrell's statement says, the collaboration between Barnes, De Leon, and Krugliak "considers the complexities and ambiguities of found objects and what they may or may not reveal in terms of transition, human experience, culture, violence, and accountability.
"The 'Undocumented Migration Project' is a long-term anthropological study of undocumented migration between Mexico and the United States that uses ethnography, archaeology, and forensic science to better understand this clandestine social process."
Millions of migrants journey from many points south in Latin America across the Mexican/United States border seeking relocation in violation of immigration law — and, ultimately, American sovereignty.
The numbers are not known, but it's estimated there are between 7 and 20 million people living unauthorized in the United States today. Some believe enforcement is too tight; others, too loose.
Rather than take a direct side in the debate, "State of Exception" lays out evidence De Leon calls a "state of exception" taken from the theory of conservative political philosopher Carl Schmitt and contemporary Italian biopolitical theorist Giorgio Agamben, defining this strategy as a process "whereby sovereign authorities declare emergencies, often with the stated goal of protecting the state, in order to suspend the legal protections afforded to individuals while simultaneously unleashing the power of the state upon them."
Toward this end, as De Leon shows, the U.S. border patrol policy of 'Prevention through Deterrence' has been established with the goal of "rerouting unauthorized aliens from urban areas and towards more remote areas of the (U.S.) Southwest border, making the journey more difficult."
"State of Exception" graphically illustrates the journey and the hardships these people endure. For example, one of the more graphic aspects of the exhibit is a wall-length installation consisting of hundreds of soiled backpacks stacked from floor to ceiling.
The number of these packs is stunning enough — their aged and damaged condition alone testifying to the hardships encountered on this dangerous trek. Meanwhile, a half-dozen video monitors featuring U-M graduate students mounted in rows of two on another wall (sometimes speaking singly; sometimes speaking in overlapping dialogue) recall their professional and personal experiences working on the "Undocumented Migration Project."
Additionally, two display cases filled with ravaged artifacts — personal effects like coins, bottles, shoelaces, wallets, and the like; mingled with abandoned refuse — illustrate the property these folk carried with them on their arduous desert journey.
Krugliak adds in a short essay contributed to the display, "Many may see this exhibition as a study of aesthetics, materiality, and practice. However, 'State of Exception' attempts to consider the journey of migrants through the deserts of Arizona from all sides, like a puzzle, turning it over, and then again. It emphasizes the ambiguity and complexity of a situation that is as ongoing and endless as the border fence itself."
Krugliak's assessment is certainly accurate enough — both sociologically and as public policy. But Barnes' video contributions are also easily the most artful aspect of this remarkable display.
On entry, a trio of DVD monitors projects a filmed video path of abandoned detritus strewn across a ravine down a narrow path leading into the Institute's installation space. And in the installation proper are two additional video loops of the Arizona fence separating the U.S. from Mexico.
Barnes effectively turns one of the most controversial aspects of America's domestic policy into an artful meditation on borders and boundaries. For both videos are shot from a moving car with the metal poles of the fence appearing as a series of metal slats through which the landscape passes.
One of the videos has been shot through the car's front window during a stormy night, and the border fence dramatically flickers up to the right at a diagonal angle as the vehicle moves slowly down a dirt road. The other video (shot through a side window) breaks the scenery into a flurry of interconnected slices as the car moves relentlessly forward.
In both instances, the motion of Barnes' looped footage of the border fence is unceasing. There's no start to the movement, nor is there any rest. The impression given is one of a long, arduous passage with no repose in sight. And such, by implication, is the fate of those who brave the dangerous route north.
"State of Exception" will continue through March 12 at the University of Michigan Institute for the Humanities' Exhibition Space, Room 1010, 202 S. Thayer St. Gallery hours are 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday-Friday. For information, call 734-936-3518.

Could the U of M, with tax payor money, do a feature on the ranchers and farmers of the southwest and how their land and livestock/crops is being run over, littered, destroyed, harmed and otherwise injured by millions of illegals who show no concern toward the welfare of others. Do not think I am out of line in expected fair and balanced reporting.

I became a US citizen after a very long wait, following the procedures, learning the langauge, and adopting and adapting to the US culture. I'm damn proud of it. I am offended by this PC language of undocumented migrants. They are illegal aliens, no matter how you sugar-coat it.

Aberdeen Teen in Crash Faces Charges in Adult Court
ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) - An Aberdeen teenager accused of crashing into a school in January and injuring a passenger in his vehicle is facing charges in adult court.
Andrew Randall is now 18 years old but was 17 at the time of the January crash. He faces eight charges including drunken driving and vehicular battery, which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
The American News reports that Randall made a brief appearance in court on Thursday but did not enter any pleas.
The crash on Jan. 17 caused an estimated $30,000 in damage to the Simmons Elementary School library. Both Randall and the passenger suffered serious injuries.

See keystroke-level model.
keystroke-level model (KLM)
The simplest GOMS technique. It provides standard keystroke-level operators (D, H, K, M, P, and R) with estimates of duration and rules for placing the M (mental) operators. It abstracts away from the goal hierarchy, multiple methods, and selection rules found in other GOMS techniques. More information can be found in Card, Moran, and Newell (1980b, 1983).
A standard operator in a keystroke-level model (KLM), K represents the act of striking a key on an input device like a keyboard or a mouse. The duration depends on the device and the skill of the user. A variety of quantitative estimates can be found in Card, Moran, and Newell (1980b, 1983).
A level of visibility (in the cognitive-dimensions framework) at which any required subset of components can be viewed simultaneously. It is an essential requirement for certain cognitive strategies, such as design by modification of existing material, or for checking consistency of form across instances of similar components. See also visibility.
joint action
Both people involved in a joint action intend to do their part and believe that the joint action includes their and the other person's part. (See the text for a more formal and comprehensive definition.)
interaction language
The commands used to instruct an interactive information artifact such as a word processor or a heating controller. These commands are a form of notation, but typically what the user can see as feedback is the effect of the command rather than the command itself. For example, in a word processor's interaction language, giving the command Delete Word deletes a word; in the same word processor's macro language, however, giving the same command Delete Word inserts the appropriate symbols into a program. See also notation.
information visualizations
The use of computer-supported, interactive, visual representations of abstract data to amplify cognition.
information scent
The relation of environmental cues in the environment (such as bibliographic citations, or World Wide Web link text) to users' assessments of the value of information sources.
information psychophysics
The application of visual psychophysical techniques to perception of information conveyed through a visual representation.
information processing
Within cognitive science, problem solving is seen as an information-processing activity [See computational metaphor (of cognition)], in which encoded information is acted on and transformed in the resolution of a goal held by a cognitive entity.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The UC Santa Barbara softball team began its home-opening Softball by the Beach Tournament in strong fashion on Friday as the Gauchos defeated visiting Portland State at Campus Diamond. UCSB scored a run at the top of the first inning and held on for the 1-0 victory. With the win, UCSB's record improves to 4-6 overall.
Junior Tami Weston (2-0) pitched her way to her second consecutive win, tossing a complete game shutout. Weston allowed six hits and two walks while fanning four batters. The shutout marked the Gauchos' second of the year.
At the plate, senior left fielder Nicole Churnock led the way, going 3-for-3 with a stolen base. Junior Christine Ramos was 1-for-3 with the lone run of the game and senior Tisha Duran provided the only other Gaucho hit of the game and the lone RBI. Despite being outhit six-to-five during the game, the Gauchos had more opportunities on the base paths, as they left nine batters stranded versus Portland State's six.
After the Gauchos retired the first three Vikings at the top of the first, lead-off hitter Ramos opened the bottom of the first with a single to right center field. An error by the third basemen on the next play put Jessica Ziegler on, and advanced Ramos to second.
One out later, a single to left field off the bat of Duran brought Ramos home. With two outs, freshman Mary Episcopo walked, loading the bases, but no more runners were brought home as the Gauchos held onto their 1-0 lead.
In the loss, Shannon Stacy went 2-for-3 with a double, leading Portland State. Mandy Hill (3-5) pitched the complete game for the Vikings, allowing just one earned run on five hits with three walks and six strikeouts.
In other tournament action, Portland State defeated St. John's during the second game of the day. The Vikings scored a run in each of the first three innings to defeat the Red Storm, 3-1.
The Softball by the Beach Tournament will continue on Saturday with three games. UCSB will take-on St. John's at 9 a.m. and Portland State at 11:30 a.m. Portland State and St. John's will face-off once again at 2 p.m.
Game times for Sunday have also been pushed back. St. John's and Portland State will now play at 10 a.m. and the Gauchos' second pairing with St. John's is now scheduled for 11 a.m.

The next big investment opportunity might not be stocks. Citi Private Bank's chief investment officer Steven Wieting says that post-financial crisis investors have accepted that the world isn't ending but still crave investments that can be exited quickly. Patient investors with a longer time horizon can play this lingering anxiety by buying less liquid investment vehicles— like private equity firms and real estate— that are still sitting in the bargain bin. Among the opportunities are European corporate debt and investing in smaller North American energy firms.
With all the noise about folks moving up the risk curve, and the general shift from cash and fixed income to equities, it turns out a good portion of investors globally are still frozen in time. A recent Citi Private Bank survey of 50 family offices from over 20 countries found an average allocation of only 25% to equities and an astonishing 40% in cash. Unbeknownst to these wealthy investors across the globe, their excessively conservative portfolios produced mediocre results, a paltry 6% return last year compared to the MSCI World Index's 20.3% return. Citi Private Bank's gains, for a portfolio with 51% in equities and 5% to cash, came to 11%.
While Wieting is not predicting another equities gusher this year, he still thinks U.S. large-cap equities will grow by an additional 9% to 10%, with dividends reinvested. Generally, however, upward-trending markets like the U.S. and Japan are nearing their historic averages and maturity from a valuation standpoint, he says, while emerging markets remain unattractive. The commodity super-cycle – that realized ten years of double-digit annual growth in emerging markets– is coming to an end. European equities are the most attractive of the lot and Citi expects them to grow 13% next year.
But even more opportunities abound for investors willing to man up and brave the illiquidity of alternatives. Wieting estimates that over the next ten years, private equity and real estate vehicles will produce annualized returns of 11.9%, almost double the 6.7% return he is estimating for developed market large-cap equities.
Why are alternatives so attractive? It's partially because of post-financial crisis investor psychology, Wieting says. To some extent investors are warming to risk but alternatives remain a no-go zone. "There has been a thawing of risk tolerance," he explains, "but if you tell investors that we can offer you a higher return – but that we can't tell you exactly what length of time you need to commit to – there is suddenly much less interest."
All too familiar in their minds are the precipitous declines from the financial crisis, when most alternative strategies fell in lockstep with the broader market, declining up to 40% in 2009 alone. Unable to exit private equity or certain real estate vehicles due to the five to ten year lock-ups – or, if so, only at distressed give-away prices – investors couldn't scramble up the cash they suddenly needed to pay their bills. They never want to experience that again.
Wieting thinks that while this psychology persists, the time to buy alternative investments is now. The fear of illiquidity is overblown, particularly since the economy is chugging along steadily again, and the disconnect means bargains are to be found.
How? Before locking your money up for ten years or so, do the necessary due diligence to select the right manager. Data from alternatives research and consultancy firm Preqin, suggests that 65% of private equity and real estate funds with top or second quartile performance go on to manage a top or second quartile successor fund. So a strong track record, though not indicative of future returns, is important.
The next factor to consider is market opportunity. One investment theme Wieting likes is non-performing loans, such as residential and commercial real estate, that are languishing on the balance sheet of European banks. See our recent coverage, "The Sweet Smell of Euro Trash."
Wieting also is helping his clients lend directly to Europe's cash-starved corporations. Euro Zone banks are under deeper scrutiny to meet the demands of regulators and capital requirements, and are furiously cutting and pruning their businesses, while generally tidying up their balance sheets. Deustche Bank's recently reported losses are just the latest chapter entry in this unfolding story.
The thing to bear in mind: Since December 2010, Europe's 16 largest banks have cut exposure to corporate credit by 9%, or nearly $600 billion, which provides an opening for Citi and other international lenders. More opportunities are coming online. The securitization products, known as collateralized loan obligations, that allowed the banks to slice-and-dice and offload tranches of European loans, are facing a cut-back as well. That reduction in capacity will force yet more limitations on what the European banks can underwrite.
With these methods of financing drying up, liquidity-starved corporations will increasingly turn to private debt managers, who, in turn, will extract attractive terms for clients. Firms like Alcentra, a sub-investment grade debt specialist owned by BNY Mellon, and Marc Lasry's hedge fund Avenue Capital Group, are among the recent market entrants.
Wieting also has a thesis that takes advantage of the North American energy revolution powered by hydraulic fracking. Wieting thinks the debt of the smaller energy companies, having trouble accessing public capital markets, are attractive holdings. A related and relevant report by PwC, projects that investments in U.S. shale infrastructure alone will require $5 trillion over the next 20 years.
But caution. There is an entire continuum of risk and return to choose from among these energy companies. Midstream energy transporters are lower risk and yield lower returns, since the business is fee driven via long-term contracts; gas storage companies, meanwhile, are exposed to demand volatility and price swings, hence the heftier payoffs for their investors. The smart money is learning the trade. Earlier this month, the fabled private equity shop KKR opened an office in Canada, announcing it expects to invest between $500 million and several billion dollars in energy-related companies over the next five years. Early moving competitors, like Arc Financial and Kern Partners, already have billion dollar portfolios in the energy sphere.
Last year, conservative investors finally dipped their toes into the equity markets, some would say a little too late. Folks who are quicker to embrace illiquidity, the next thawing in our post-crisis "normalizing" process, should be rewarded for their decision.

Meeting Review
What You Missed at the DASER Summit
Michael R. Leach, Harvard University, can be reached by e-mail at email@example.com. Beatrice R. Pulliam can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com
The first Digital Archives for Science and Engineering Resources (DASER) Summit was held November 21-23, 2003, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Over 90 participants from four countries and more than a dozen states attended the conference, which explored issues surrounding the creation of science- and engineering-based digital archives, including standards, metadata, software and tool development, and long-term preservation.
This summit was the first sponsored by an ASIS&T Special Interest Group SIG/STI (Scientific and Technical Information Systems) and an ASIS&T Chapter NEASIS&T (New England chapter). One of the goals of this summit was to evaluate this program model for future program planning within ASIS&T. All indications are that the model has succeeded, and the Society has gained valuable experience that will allow us to further refine this program development strategy. A full report will be presented at the August 2004 Board of Director's retreat, with subsequent publication on the ASIS&T website. Highlights will be presented at various venues at the Annual Meeting in November. The DASER Program & Logistics Committee, which consists of Julie Arnold, Margret Branschofsky, Darcy Duke, Deb Helman, Michael Leach (chair) and K.T. Vaughan, hopes that other SIGs and chapters will adopt this model to develop new summit programs in the near future.
The summit kicked off on Friday evening with a social event at the MIT Barker Engineering Library. In a relaxed setting, complete with ample food and drink, participants enjoyed networking inside this famous location beneath the "dome" of MIT. Members of the Summit Program Committee as well as volunteers from the Simmons ASIS&T Student Chapter were on hand to greet participants. A continental breakfast the next morning in the Wiesner Building, home of the MIT Media Lab, kicked off the panel sessions in the Bartos Theater.
Panel 1 highlighted issues related to metadata and standards in the digital archives realm. Jeff Beck, National Institutes of Health and the National Library of Medicine (NLM), discussed PubMed Central and the NLM's efforts at creating and using DTDs (document or data type definitions used with mark-up languages such as XML). MacKenzie Smith of MIT followed with an overview of METS: Metadata Encoding & Transmission Standard, which provides description, administrative, behavioral and structural metadata with a file inventory to "wrap" digital objects in any digital archive or institutional repository.
Panel 2 focused on digital repository systems. Suzanne Samuel, California Digital Library, discussed the CDL eScholarship Repository project. Margret Branschofsky followed with a description the DSpace project at MIT, while Leslie Johnston presented the Fedora repository implementation at the University of Virginia. Wrapping up this session was Kimberly Douglas, California Institute of Technology, focusing on the Caltech experience in creating a digital repository.
At this point in the program, participants and speakers took a short walk from the Wiesner Building to the MIT Faculty Club for a catered luncheon, where everyone got the opportunity to network and chat about the issues raised in the first panel sessions.
The afternoon began with Panel Session 3, titled "Beyond Words: Issues in Data Archives." Four speakers addressed a variety of issues and experiences related to their implementation of data archives. Volker Brendel, Iowa State University, discussed the development, maintenance and sharing of small-scale databases for genome research. Bob Dragoset of the National Institute of Standards and Technology followed with a description of the physical reference data of the NIST physics laboratory. Peter Knoop of the University of Michigan discussed the UARC/SPARC (Space Physics & Aeronomy Research Collaboratory) experience from 1993 to 2002. Sue Rhee of Stanford University focused on issues in managing and disseminating changing information in biology.
The last panel on Saturday was titled "Will It Last Forever: Preservation of Digital Material." Stephen Abrams of Harvard University discussed the global file format registry. The next speaker was Tom Robertson of Stanford University, who highlighted the LOCKSS model Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe of digital preservation. Nancy McGovern of Cornell University rounded off this panel by highlighting one risk management approach for Web resources virtual remote control.
Participants joined one of several networking dinners on Saturday evening, hosted by members of the DASER Program Committee. The City of Cambridge is blessed with many excellent eating establishments as many of the participants discovered, including a Massachusetts staple seafood.
Sunday morning the participants once again gathered in the Bartos Theater. The last panel session for the summit focused on the details of four specific digital archives projects. Matthew Cockerill highlighted BioMed Central's role as an open access publisher and its role in digital archiving. Guenther Eichhorn from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics described the NASA Astrophysical Data System (ADS)/Astronomy Digital Library, a worldwide collaboration to provide access to the astronomical literature. Sandra McIntyre, Health Education Assets Library, followed with a discussion of multimedia assets management for health sciences education.
Brandon Muramatsu of the National Engineering Education Delivery System (NEEDS) at University of California, Berkeley, rounded off this panel with a discussion of NEEDS, SMETE.ORG and educational digital libraries.
In the closing keynote address, Clifford Lynch, executive director of the Coalition for Networked Information, and past president of ASIS&T, synthesized much of the summit's presentations, providing a larger framework of reference for these cutting-edge research projects and services. For more on the content of this talk, see the related article by Beatrice Pulliam.
Planning for a second DASER Summit is well underway for the spring of 2005 at the University of Maryland campus in College Park. By the time this article appears in print, or shortly thereafter, announcements on the exact days and times, as well as program details, should be available on the ASIS&T website. Stay tuned.
A Student Perspective of the DASER Summit
[Editor's Note: Beatrice Pulliam was one of a half-dozen students from the ASIS&T Student Chapter at Simmons College who volunteered at the summit. Her report of the summit, shared with fellow students at Simmons, is reprinted here.]
I organized the Simmons contingent of volunteers for the ASIS&T & NEASIS&T DASER Summit held at MIT. DASER stands for Digital Archives for Science & Engineering Resources. The ASIS&T SIG/Science & Technology Information Systems SIG/STI) and the Physics-Astronomy-Mathematics Division of SLA also sponsored the summit.
This day and a half conference covered everything from the very technically nitty issues of metadata and standards and what goes into building digital repository systems to current data archiving challenges faced by community databases used by the scientific community and current digital preservation projects. On the subject of metadata, the general sense is that we have a good handle on descriptive metadata issues but not so for standards dealing with provenance and other preservation. Interestingly, there were no archivists or records management folks in attendance at the summit. It would have been great to get that perspective. I wonder if there will be any crossover in roles as more digital library initiatives take off.
On the topic of community databases, there are over 4500 labs, for example, contributing data to The Arabidopsis Information Resource (TAIR) based at Stanford University. The Arabidopsis Thaliana is a small flowering plant from the mustard family and is an endless source for basic research in genetics and molecular biology.
In this report I would like to focus on the keynote and wrap-up talk given on the last morning by Clifford Lynch, the executive director for the Coalition for Center for Networked Information (www.cni.org/). Lynch brought up some issues that will cut across all areas of librarianship, not just science and engineering, things definitely worth thinking about as we begin new careers as librarians or ramp up current skills for new responsibilities. He notes that we need to be more "thoughtful in thinking about what needs to be in place for digitized content in the way of management, dissemination, continuity and preservation."
Lynch led off with a general comment that most of us can agree with. These are innovative times in terms of not only the vast amount of technology that is available, but also in the enormous quantity of digital content that is being disseminated and our increasing reliance on its availability. A question Lynch asks us all to consider is the following: How do we keep the content viable as we deal with its fragility? The scientists at the summit spoke with excitement about the community databases that are being built and the stresses of not being able to keep pace with the sizable datasets being added to the databases nor with the problems of data integrity. The scientists seem eager to work with information scientists. Some are already working in conjunction with their own "domain" scientists, information scientists, computer scientists and sometimes, behavioral scientists.
Lynch thinks that institutional repositories could be a possible solution because the repositories are typically associated with an academic institution, its faculty and their interests. It might also be a future staging ground for faculty research and the storage of data. MIT has already created its own open source institutional repository with DSPACE (www.dspace.org/). Other institutions like the University of California and its e-scholarship repository have found success working with commercial entities that handle the access, editorial and policy issues and let the institution focus on the scholarly communication. Most of the panelists seemed to agree that standards, peer-review and resource sharing are very important, and open-source federations go a long way toward building a critical mass of content that leverages distributed expertise and promotes best practices. Working with librarians is on everyone's list. A panelist even suggested that we "market ourselves by selling persistence" persistent links, persistent access, even persistent digital caches. Tom Robertson from LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keeps Stuff Safe; http://lockss.stanford.edu/index.html) at Stanford sees the libraries as "memory organizations." LOCKSS is working to build tools that help libraries preserve their e-content affordably.
Finally, Lynch cautions that tools will "permeate out across the literature and become infrastructure components" and that we shouldn't "underestimate how bizarre it will get." The bottom line, as Lynch says, is that we need to be thinking through the "broad scale issues of curatorial stewardship as they apply to digital content." Now.

MACON, Ga. - Campbell backed up its 2007 Atlantic Sun Championship by posting the first unbeaten and untied season in league play since 1995 and that excellence resulted in seniors Richard Jata and Aaron Johnson capturing two of the conference's top postseason awards, Player of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year, respectively, and their head coach, Doug Hess, earned his second Coach of the Year award, the conference office announced on Tuesday. Lipscomb's scoring star Garret Pettis snatched the remaining honor, earning Freshman of the Year, the first postseason award won by a member of the Bisons' men's program.
This year marks the second time that the Camels have won these three awards. In 2005, Hess won his other Coach of the Year honor and Johnson shared the Defensive Player of the Year. Willy Guadarrama won the Player of the Year after leading the nation in scoring. Jata turned on his production over the final seven games, accumulating eight goals, six were game-winners, and 17 points after registering only two points in his first eight games. His 19 points finished fourth in the conference. Johnson capped his outstanding Campbell career by posting a 0.83 goals-against average, an .808 save percentage and nine shutouts, all leading A-Sun goalkeepers. He enters the A-Sun Championship having not allowed a goal since the 59th minute of the Camels' Oct. 16 game against Lipscomb.
Hess joins eight other A-Sun coaches including former Camel head coach Derrick Leeson to win multiple Coach of the Year awards. Campbell matches Mercer as the only two A-Sun programs to have two coaches win two Coach of the Year awards. Over the last four years, Hess has led the Camels to a 25-4-4 record against conference opposition. This year, he guided Campbell to the first undefeated season in A-Sun play since FIU went 6-0-0 in 1995.
Three more Camels made the All-Atlantic Sun First Team including 2007 holdovers Stephen Oyuga and Josue Soto. Vince Petrasso, the 2007 A-Sun Championship MVP joined his teammates on the First Team giving the Camels five First-Team members, the first A-Sun team with five First-Team All-Atlantic Sun members since FIU in 1996. That year, the Golden Panthers advanced all the way to the title game of the College Cup.
While Campbell garnered almost half the 11 First-Team spots, Jacksonville, runner-up to Campbell, controlled the Second-Team landing five on the squad. Joey Sanchez, second to Johnson in GAA and shutouts made the team as did three Dolphin defenders, Nurdin Hrustic (one of two freshmen also named to an all-conference team) Philipp Meyner and Eddie Munnelly. Tony Taylor, despite being limited to nine games, totaled 10 points to make the Second-Team. Two Dolphins earned First-Team honors in midfielder Stefan Runeman and forward Ramak Niakan Safi. Runeman made the Second-Team in 2007 and in 2008, Niakan Safi scored seven goals, five of which ended up being game winners.
A pair of sophomore forwards joined Niakan Safi and Petrasso on the First-Team in UNF's Akil DeFreitas and Lipscomb's Miguel DaSilva. DeFreitas represents the first UNF player to make the First-team and DaSilva owns the distinction as the only unanimous player on the First-team after leading the conference in assists, 10, points, 26 and shots, 58.
DaSilva's teammate and fellow forward Garret Pettis won the school's first A-Sun individual accolade in capturing the Freshman of the Year award after finishing the regular season atop the A-Sun leaderboard in goals with 11. He broke the program's one-year-old record for goals in season, set by DaSilva. Pettis joined Jacksonville's Hrustic on the Second team
Stetson's defender Robert Hodge continued his three-year ascent up the accolades after landing on the All-Freshmen Team in 2006 and the All-Atlantic Sun Second Team in 2007 to making the First team in 2008. He extends Stetson's streak of having at least one First-team performer to eight straight years, the longest active streak in the A-Sun. Mercer's Bolade Ogunmade joined Hodge among the First-team defenders, the first Bear on the First team since Vicente Arze in 2005. Ogunmade contributed heavily on the offensive end, scoring seven of the Bears'16 goals, or 43.8 percent of his team's goals, the highest percentage by an A-Sun individual as of the conclusion of regular-season play.
Lipscomb's Kezi Lara and T.J. Williams, Stetson's Kirk Labusch, UNF's Adam O'Neill and Campbell's Jason Keever round out the Second Team.
ETSU introduced men's soccer this year and placed a pair on the All-Freshmen Team in goalkeeper James Holt and midfielder Sean Hoek. Holt finished the regular season second in the conference with 88 saves, while Hoek tallied three game-winning goals. FGCU, in year two with its men's program, landed two on the squad matching last season's total. Midfielders Francesco DiStefano and Scott Harrison both ranked in the top 10 in the league in points with Harrison ranking sixth with 17 points while DiStefano tied for ninth with 15 points.
Belmont's dynamic forward duo of Will Moorad and Dan Meacock earned spots on the All-Freshmen Team by virtue of both registering 18 points and combining to score 15 of the Bruins' 29 goals. Stetson midfielders Fredrik Brustad and Gonzalo de Mujica made team after de Mujica scored a team-high 15 points (four goals, seven assists) and Brustad posted nine points.
Jacksonville's Kristian Lassen and Campbell's Kevin Orozco concluded the plethora of accolades bestowed upon the Dolphins and Camels by earning spots on the All-Freshman team.
The Atlantic Sun Conference is an 11-member league committed to Building Winners for Life. The A-Sun stands for achievement with integrity in both the academic and athletic arenas, with a focus on the balance between the two for our student-athletes. Headquartered in Macon, Ga., the A-Sun boasts six of the top eight media markets in the Southeast. The A-Sun includes a blend of the most prestigious and dynamic private and public institutions in the region: Belmont University, Campbell University, East Tennessee State University, Florida Gulf Coast University, Jacksonville University, Kennesaw State University, Lipscomb University, Mercer University, University of North Florida, University of South Carolina Upstate and Stetson University.

It's Not All in a Name -- Finding a Food Plan That Works For You
18 comments:
This is a GREAT post! We definitely agree that whatever "diet" you follow, tweaks are needed almost every day and it's great that you acknowledge that! Words of wisdom yet again :)ReplyDelete
Carrie, you're so sweet! and you've done such an amazing job of figuring out what your body needs.ReplyDelete
BTW, have you ever had roasted cauliflower? I'm guessing yes, but it tastes so different than raw or steamed...I've got DH hooked, and I'm so proud!Replies
Thank you Cheryl! You've known all along what worked best for my body and it took me 9 months to really understand your wisdom and how to change my diet for the better, for a way that would work for me! And admittedly no, I haven't tried roasting cauliflower! In general I get so gassy with cauliflower I'm always reluctant to try it... but I might be willing to give that a go! lolDelete
- Dawn E. PerryMay 2, 2012 at 11:30 AM
Thank you for addressing this issue. I brought up the question because I am in the process of figuring out what works best for my body. Unfortunately, my symptoms are not so obvious so I don't know how I am really doing without seeing the nurse practitioner. I didn't know I was gluten intolerant until I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. I didn't realize I had a Candida infection until I had my urine tested. I didn't know how I was really doing on that elimination diet until I checked back with her. I feel better, but I never really felt bad, just tired and a little foggy. My stomach bothered me some, but I thought that was stress. When there are no immediate consequences, it is hard to know how much I really need to change the way I eat.ReplyDeleteReplies
LOVE this comment Dawn! It's definitely not an easy journey and I didn't understand the foods that really worked for me until I began being coached by a nutritionist! So I think you are definitely working and figuring things out in the right direction! I'm glad you asked because some of those things had been on my mind for quite a while and I just wasn't sure how to combine all these thoughts into a post until just now!Delete
I'll echo Melaina - this is a great post! Everyone has their own unique "diet" of what works best for their body. I'm working on trying to decrease my sugar intake and determine how that will work best for me.ReplyDelete
Yup, I'm there with you on "the diet with no name". And worst of all, simply listing your dietary restrictions makes people think that your diet is limited, boring, tasteless, or yucky. Quite the contrary - my diet gets broader with every restriction, as I dig for new foods, recipes, and cuisines. I rarely eat a meal I don't love.ReplyDelete
I find the challenge of cooking for special diets to be a fascinating process, like solving a puzzle. I happily give myself extra challenges, like cooking for my friend with multiple allergies that are completely different than mine; cooking traditional Passover dishes within my restrictions; Ukranian new year; Jamaican . . . I love to cook and find new favourite foods!Replies
That is so true. I have to keep myself from laughing when people say how bad they feel for me not eating their cake or doughnuts or pizza or jello with cool whip. I will suffer along with meals that I love. I'll take a steak and fancy salad over pot luck nachos anytime.Delete
Love the post, Carrie. Your cauliflower comment brought a big smile to my face. I LOVE cauliflower prepared almost any way. Only recently, though, I've reluctantly had to admit that it's not a mutual thing. Paleo darling or not, cauliflower causes so much pain and bloating for me, I've had to call it quits. I am quite sad about that, but obviously cauliflower wasn't the first food I've abandoned in the name of health and pain reduction.ReplyDeleteReplies
lolol! I completely understand Pamela! That's why I had to call it quits with cauliflower too... it just hurts my tummy too much. Too much uncomfort! I've learned I don't do well with much cabbage either, however about 1/4 - 1/3 cup of sauerkraut I do well with... I wonder if it has to do with the fermenting?Delete
- Cheryl BlackMay 3, 2012 at 8:33 AM
What a refreshing post. I've been trying to eat Paleo for several months. While I know I shouldn't I sometimes feel guilty when I am around my "strict" paleo friends since I haven't completely cleared out my cabinets of non-paleo foods and I haven't been able to complete the "30-Day Challenge" without a little honey or an occasional meal out that I am sure contains hidden ingredients that are on the "forbidden" list. It is a journey for all of us. I think sometimes a harder journey to eat well for those of us who DON'T have obvious reactions to food. (Don't get me wrong~I'm grateful that I do not!) I read about people who after 2 weeks of paleo feel completely different or people who slip up and eat gluten or some other no-no and suffer for days. That's not me. While I feel better about myself for having lost 12 pounds it is not a "night and day" difference. But I appreciate all of you who help me to be more aware of the importance of seriously considering what I put into my mouth! And I appreciate those willing to spend their time researching nutrition honestly so that people like me have another perspective to consider other than a perspective based completely on profit. Keep up the good work!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for the post, I have identical foods I avoid. Now if I can help everyone around me understand that the "diet" is not strict on all the foods.ReplyDelete
Carrie - this is an excellent post. I'm with you. I've tried paleo - even did a Whole30 - but honestly, I'm fine with occasional grains and I can't always handle a lot of brassica veggies - like you said, cabbage, cauliflower, etc. I love them, but like some other foods, they don't love me back. I might even eat cane sugar once in a while. But if we all eat real foods in moderation and do what's best for our bodies, that's a very healthy, reasonable way to go about it. I'll never have a paleo blog either! Thank you for all that you do.ReplyDelete
awesome, Carrie! it is hard to describe our family's diet (food we eat) as it isn't any one thing anymore, and I allow some alterations to our diet as special treats. And I won't ever do cauliflower as I am allergic. Go figure!ReplyDelete
You're absolutely right of course, there's no law that says we must adhere exclusively to the parameters of any of these diets. My son and I are GF and DF.ReplyDelete
I started doing a modified GAPS diet last year to help me for health reasons, and it's really worked so far. However, my son also has nut allergies so that has limited any kind of cooking with nuts and coconut which is a huge part of paleo and gaps as a replacement for the grains.
I also had a lot of trouble digesting raw food easily,so that impacts some of the choices for me.
For the most part I would be paelo, but I still enjoy an occasional home made GF pancake, cupcake or waffle with no guilt.
Beautiful post! Thank you!ReplyDelete

LOUISVILLE -- What started out with a note left on a motorcycle outside a Boulder hotel 35 years ago has blossomed into an assignment that places a Louisville company at the highest levels of global athletics.
And Além International Management, an event-management firm with headquarters at the Colorado Technology Center, is right in the thick of it again as Friday's 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremonies now are just days away.
Além provides consulting services for the Olympic Torch Relay, as it has in some shape or form since the 1996 games in Atlanta. In London, the firm helped the organizers map a route through the United Kingdom this spring that provided the greatest exposure for relay sponsor Lloyds TSB, a British bank, while making the experience for the torch bearers and their families unforgettable.
"We wanted to make sure the route chosen by the London Organizing Committee not only showcased the biggest population base of the U.K. but also gave sponsors, such as Lloyds, the chance to showcase their operations and employees," said Steve McCarthy, the company's chief executive and founder. "And we made sure the families of the torch bearers knew where they started from and where they finished and how they could get on the side of the road to cheer them on."
Além has 14 people on the ground in England helping the relay, with its 8,000 torch bearers, go off as smoothly as possible. The relay began at Land's End, on the southwest coast of England, on May 19.
McCarthy said his firm, which he founded in 1991, might never have come to be had he not seen a note on the seat of his motorcycle that he had parked outside of a Boulder hotel one evening in 1978. Someone from the Red Zinger Bicycle Classic had left it there, complimenting his BMW R75/5 motorcycle and asking McCarthy if he was willing to put it to work at the venerable Boulder bike race the next day.
McCarthy agreed and ended up driving around the coach from the Colombian cycling team.
From that experience, McCarthy launched what would become a long-lasting partnership with BMW. He began using the German company's motorcycles to clear streets for racers and haul camera crews shooting the action, working in events ranging from the Coors International Bicycle Classic to the Tour de Trump to the Tour DuPont.
"BMW saw a really good opportunity to showcase their motorcycles," he said.
Then, in 1996, McCarthy brought more than 100 BMW motorcycles to Atlanta for the Summer Olympics and branched out his company's services beyond the cycling world, to equestrian and other moving events. Além also began providing courier services for the press.
"We transported film from every outlying area to the main press center," he said.
Além went on to play the primary organizational role in the Olympic Torch Relays for the 2002 Salt Lake City games and the 2004 Olympics in Athens.
Michael Aisner, who was race director and promoter of the Red Zinger and Coors International events in the 1970s and 1980s, said McCarthy was adept at giving the cyclists the run of the road.
"His responsibility was to sweep off every dead squirrel, every piece of broken glass and every broken-down car in the road," he said. "It was all on Steven's back. And 30 years later, it's the same thing."
Now, Aisner said, the events are a bit more complex and the breadth a bit more global. But still Além does a skillful job of managing logistics for Olympic torch bearers while not making life unbearable for folks affected by road closures and security measures, he said.
"All those things need to be delicately balanced," he said.
McCarthy, whose firm has grown to 35 people and has offices in Switzerland, Brazil and England, said Além soon will begin gearing up for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, and the 2016 games in Rio de Janeiro.
But he said the company's roots will never stray far from Boulder County.
"It's the best place in the world to work, to live and to train," he said. "It's an inspiring place to be."

Airlines halt service at Logan
Air traffic has come to a halt over Boston. The last departure of the day, a JetBlue Airways flight, left Logan International Airport at 3:13 p.m.. Officials at the Massachusetts Port Authority, which runs Logan, were unsure where the plane was headed, but they had a good guess. "I hope it was someplace warm,'' said spokesman Matthew Brelis.
By 4:30 p.m., only about half a dozen passengers remained in the airport terminals, where workers far outnumbered travelers and no planes could be seen at the gates. The airlines are expected to resume service late Saturday afternoon. As for Sunday travel, passengers shouldn't get their hopes up.
"It may take a while for airlines to get their equipment back in place, and just as important, the crews back in place,'' Brelis said. "I would expect Sunday to be a rebuilding day and probably we wouldn't be back to normal until Monday.''
Across the Northeast, airlines have canceled more than 4,000 flights on Friday and Saturday, according to the flight-tracking website FlightAware.

Monday`s 6-3 Supreme Court decision upholding Indiana`s voter-identification law has unhinged Democrats and their allies on the political left. Within hours of the ruling, the ACLU was wringing its hands about the judgment of the court that requires someone to produce photo identification in order to vote was not unconstitutional. Sen. Charles Schumer, New York Democrat, complained that it was "a body blow to what America stands for -- equal access to the polls." But a careful reading of the opinions of the six justices who voted to uphold the Indiana law shows this assertion to be nonsense.

... and the paparazzi go wild. Imagine that?!
What in the world would make a transgendered pregnant "man" with female reproductive organs think that "he" and "his" family wouldn't get surrounded by photogs after taping an episode of "Larry King Live," followed by a casual, intimate dinner at a little out-of-the-way cafe like Spago Beverly Hills?!
You'd think they'd never seen a pregnant "man" before!
