Saving 2 W power by Making Sure Laptop_Mode oesn't destroy your HD
1. Hard disks don't obey the hdparm -S setting. The spindown timeout is often not regarded by the hard disks, but only the general power management setting in -B. The problem is that laptop_mode automatically sets this setting to 1. This means hard disks will spin down very quicky and very often. This will wear out and destroy your disk. So make sure you adjust the BATT_HD_POWERMGMT to 130 or so.
2. Every program can spin up your disk with an fsync call. The whole sense of laptop_mode and the corresponding kernel tweaks is that the disk doesn't spin up for writes more often than every X minutes. This is why you should make sure you disable the fsync call. The problem is currently a kernel patch is needed for this. The good thing is that I've already created and posted it here on my blog.
With the patch applied your disk will only spin up every X minutes as set by the hdparm -B setting or when it has to read new data. With this patch you also avoid having to reset all your deamons, esp. syslog, and other software, esp. browsers, to power friendly values. They can fsync all they want but it won't spin up the disk. And in my experience it's much more likely that the software crashes, in which case the data is still in the kernel write buffer, so not lost. Of course if the whole system crashes you will lose some minutes of data unless you manage to Reisub your way out of it.
After you have everything set up, ensure it's working fine with: watch " sudo smartctl --all /dev/sda | grep Load_Cycle" to ensure it's not increasing too much.
Then you can lean back, relax and enjoy easily 2 W less power usage. Without either of them you risk damage to your disk. In any case, enable SMART and regularly check the values.

I see. Fixing the desktop environments and applications to not to thrash hard drive is not even considered.
As much as I love Linux, it still very far from being a laptop friendly OS. Wasn't gouging it against Windows, but on the same hardware Mac OS was managing 4+ hours, while Ubuntu (and Xubuntu) less than 2 hours - load being reading a PDF and listening some mp3s. Quite miserable.
Well what you suggest is that applications should check whether they are run from battery or not and then not use f sync? And that would have to be done for each and every one.doesn't it make more sense to fix out all at One place and make laptop-mode work as it should?ReplyDelete
I think your problem is probably driver related, try a system with good power support in linux and it will be the opposite: my netbook makes it 30% longer in linux.
I appreciate comments. Feel free to write anything you wish. Selected comments and questions will be published.

North conquer AFL complacency, Lions
The last-minute withdrawal of two of the opposition's most influential players is typically cause for celebration for an AFL coach.
But as North Melbourne's Brad Scott learned a gastro bug had further decimated Brisbane and forced Tom Rockliff and Joel Patfull to miss Saturday's clash, he was perturbed.
What if his players shared the same opinion of everyone else at Etihad Stadium, that cellar-dwelling Brisbane were in essence a walkover and represented a great chance to boost the club's percentage?
It proved to be ill-founded, with the Kangaroos cruising to an 87-point victory over the listless Lions in a ruthless fashion that impressed Scott.
"The good sides play great footy, but we're in a group of teams that if we drop our guard we get beaten by anyone," he said.
"I was really concerned today when Rockliff and Patfull were taken out, because as a coach complacency is the hardest thing to guard against."
By the time the hosts had kicked the opening five goals of the game it became clear they'd come to play.
Brent Harvey was irrepressible in his 370th AFL match, underpinning the hosts' impressive run through the middle and encapsulating the ease in which they found loose men all over the ground.
The 36-year-old booted two goals and helped himself to a game-high 39 disposals as North triumphed 17.23 (125) to 6.2 (38).
Inaccurate goal-kicking from the Kangaroos, who re-entered the top eight, was Scott's only concern.
Lindsay Thomas kicked four goals, while Majak Daw and Drew Petrie clutched four contested marks each but struggled to convert and finished with a combined tally of 2.8.
Captain Andrew Swallow, playing his first AFL game since rupturing an Achilles tendon in round 18 last year, was influential in North's midfield dominance before being substituted out at three-quarter time.
"We looked a much better unit with him out there," he said of Swallow.
"His organisation, his leadership, his attack on the ball, his tackling - it was just fantastic."
Josh Green's late goal ensured it was not the Lions' lowest score since the merger between Fitzroy and Brisbane, but 6.2 (38) represents their lowest mark in Melbourne since the two clubs became one in 1996.
In addition to the absence of Rockliff, Patfull and a series of injured stars, Dayne Zorko was ill and managed three touches before he was subbed out.
"You've got to soldier on. That's a lesson for our guys, the footy gods are going to do these things to you at times and you just have to keep persisting," Lions coach Justin Leppitsch said.
"We didn't do that. We didn't throw a counter-punch all day."
The visitors simply couldn't create any extended periods of pressure, with the contested possession count 146-88 in North's favour.
"That's just an absolute obliteration," Leppitsch said.

The Good Person of Szechwan
Arcade Pub., 1994 - 147 Seiten
"The Good Person of Szechwan" is one of Bertolt Brecht's most popular plays. In this famous parable, long known in this country under the potentially misleading title of "The Good Woman of Sezuan, " the gods come to earth in search of a thoroughly good person. They encounter Shen Teh, a good-hearted but penniless prostitute who, to muster sufficient ruthlessness to survive in an evil world, must disguise herself as a man.

Excellent play with a wonderful female protagonist. That the whims of the gods and the inability to be "good" and survive turn her into the more practical male counterpart for survival is fascinating to me. But she should have lost the boyfriend.

The World Food Programme is currently experiencing a shortage of funds – and consequently of food stocks - for its operations in DRC. This has already forced WFP to cut food rations in camps for displaced people in the east of the country. So serious has the funding situation now become that food assistance to many is set to be stopped altogether in coming months.
For the past six months, Faida (40) and her eight children have been surviving on half rations in Mugungu 1 camp in eastern DRC's North Kivu province. Faced with limited resources, WFP has been forced to cut back the level of assistance given to these and other displaced people (IDPs) to ensure the continuation of WFP programmes elsewhere in the country. It's far from ideal but at least the food Farida and her children have been receiving has been just about enough to sustain them.
Farida, her husband and children are huddled in one of the thousands of makeshift tents that crowd the rocky volcanic ground at the foot of Mount Nyiragongo near Goma. They have been living there since fighting forced them to flee their village of Mahanga in Masisi territory in 2011. In all, there are more than 53,000 IDPs in Mugunga 1.
Forest risk
"Without support from WFP, we women would have to wander into the forest to cut wood for sale", says Faida. "But everyone knows that women and girls who go into the forest risk getting raped or kidnapped".
For the 'privilege' of running such a risk, women have to pay a "tax" of 200 Congolese francs (about US 20 cents) to unscrupulous racketeers some of whom, it is alleged, are members of the local security forces.
"Very few of us have any money", she says. "If we did, we'd use it to buy food. But the very people who should be protecting us are taking advantage of us".
Five camps
Her husband works as a daily labourer in a sand quarry. He earns 50 cents a day and with that has to support his whole family. None of Faida's children goes to school.
There are five makeshift camps around Goma, housing more than 150,000 IDPs. In the whole of North Kivu province, there are as many as 900,000 IDPs. WFP has been giving food assistance to half a million people in North Kivu of whom 300,000 are IDPs.
As from next month, WFP's food stocks in Goma will be almost exhausted. Given the long lead times for transportation of commodities to this remote location in Africa's interior, the next delivery of food - made possible by a contribution to WFP of $30 million from the United States – will not be until March or April.
Most vulnerable
In the intervening months, WFP will have no option but limit food assistance to the most vulnerable beneficiaries in the camps including unaccompanied and orphaned children, handicapped people, the elderly, the sick and newly arrived displaced people. It is likely that Faida and her family will not get any more WFP food assistance in coming months as they do not fit into any of the categories of extreme vulnerability.
The fighting between the FARDC (Congolese army) and the M23 rebel group would seem to have ended with the surrrender of the latter. But, with so many other armed militias in the eastern DRC, peace remains elusive. For as long as this is the case, people like Faida and her family will be reluctant to return home and resume their lives.

Emily Aiken
Class of 2010
Major/Minor: Environmental Studies, English
Literary Scientist Digs WC
One of the first Hodson Science Fellows at Washington College, Emily Aiken '10 spent her summer collecting and analyzing soil samples. The environmental studies/English major was looking for evidence that light disking is as effective—and less problematic—than prescribed burning as a potential habitat management method. Both methods are intended to help the soil hold nutrients and support species diversity.
Emily's soil chemistry work, conducted in collaboration with chemistry professor Leslie Sherman, is part of larger project underway at the Chester River Field Research Center at Chino Farms to restore former agricultural land to grassland habitat for endangered birds.
"The fields of switchgrass slated for prescribed burnings are separated by fire buffers, which are disked," explains Emily. "The scientists observed that these buffers had good species diversity, so they decided to try it in a control field, and then compare the results with those from the burned fields. The grasshopper sparrows seem to like the disked fields—we saw lots of nests there."
Emily considers her summer fieldwork a prelude to other environmental opportunities that abound on Maryland's Eastern Shore. With the environment as "the big issue" in American society, the literary-minded scientist may find her niche writing about the environment.
"When I visited Washington College, the atmosphere was amazing," she recalls. "Everyone was so friendly and accepting. I thought to myself, yeah, I could live here for four years. WC has this really good English program and it also has the Chester River. The professors have connections to all these great places. It seemed like the perfect school for me."
Campus Involvement
Emily's campus activities reflected her dual interests in science and literature as an active member of the Student Environmental Alliance, as well as the Writers Union and the Writing Center.

A winner was selected from 126 designs submitted by 33 freelance designers.
The Software Craftsman Cooperative
We are a group of talented developers that are offering our services as a team. We believe that delivering quality and business value are critical in creating a great solution.
Businesses are starting projects that require multiple development resources to complete. These businesses will try to find talented resources individually, but what they find are people who are lacking a specific skillset, and people who have never worked together. As such, there is little cohesion at the beginning of a project that can ultimately lead to missed deadlines. This is where we want to fill a gap, offer services as a team of extremely talented developers who have a proven track record of success, and a broad set of skills.
The Software Craftsman Cooperative believes:
• Working together produces better results than working alone.
• Transparent and collaborative client relationships are healthier than fixed bid contracts
• Delivering business value does not always mean delivering lines of code
• Deliberate action is preferred to reactive heroics
• Well crafted software produces more value than utilitarian execution
Our website (not yet complete) can be viewed here: http://www.thesoftwarecraftsmancooperative.com/
Development projects that require multiple developer resources.
We would love to see some creativity, and something that looks good on a variety of media. Also, something that portrays the values we believe in.
The files we require are:
• Photoshop PSD or other source files for the logo
• Print file format: TIFF
• Web file format: JPG, PNG
• Primary Color swatches
• Vector format would be awesome

How many times have we watched our team jump on a puck following an opponent's breakdown, and the goaltender shuts the door? The answer is piles of times.vic wrote:I'm calling bullshit on this, Luongo did have one of those, he actually had more than one of those...he made some big saves when the score was 1-0, and a few more when it was 1-1.Meds wrote: Luongo. He simply HAS TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE. How many goaltenders are slamming the door on our guys on similar opportunities? He didn't have much to do last night, and all 3 of those goals were somewhat stoppable.
All three goals were after defensive zone breakdowns where a King's player was basically left all alone in front of the net. I can't remember the last time a Canuck player had a breakaway or even a second in front of the opposition's goalie with a pass right on the stick and no other player in striking distance. I can't remember if it was 1-0 or 1-1 at the time, maybe it was even 2-1, Luo made that monster save with his blocker when (guess what) another King's player was allowed to skate in on his own, there's your save, now it's time to put the game away which the team wasn't able to do.
I'm not denying the body of work that Luongo did in that game, but really, when you look at the shot totals he was outplayed again by the other goaltender. Now some of that is because the Canucks forwards have their heads up their asses and can't finish right now, and while those 3 goals came from right in front of the net, they weren't exactly sniped. The tying goal in particular went 5-hole on him. Both of Chicago's goals in the previous game were 5-hole markers in the third period.
I'm not pinning this game on Luongo. Not at all. I'm just saying that he has to make a save on ONE of those three goals.

Back to Articles for wives and mothers
May 13, 2001 Mothers Day Bethlehem Baptist Church Dr.John Piper, Pastor
To Be A Mother Is a Call to Suffer
Is a Call to Suffer
Change of Plans for This Morning
I apologize for announcing one text and title for this message and putting all that off until next week and going in a different direction. Everything in me in the last few days has been moving in another direction. Almost all my thinking and all my emotional energy has been spent pondering and holding fast to the great reality of Gods sovereign goodness in the bitter providences of our lives.
There are at least five things that have conspired to crystallize what I believe God wants to say to all of us this morning, but especially to mothers. First, Mothers Day every year brings up the memory of my mothers death on December 16, 1974. It was a bus collision in Israel, and a very strange thing that my father sitting next to her lived. He was exactly my age when she died.
Second, I have had to think and pray a lot about the reality of $6.5 million instead of $9 million for our new educational building. And I thank God for every dream and every sacrifice in your hearts.
Third, Wednesday nights vote did not go the way I hoped it would, and I have been steadying my heart with Gods sovereign goodness ever since.
Fourth, Christianity Today arrived in my mailbox on Friday, and the cover story is about the debate over openness of God. The introduction says, A few theologians are now teaching that God doesnt know the future precisely because the future does not yet exist. Thus, while God is very good at calculating the odds, he still takes risks especially in dealing with his free creatures. It is a great sadness to many of us that the leaders of our college and seminary do not see this unorthodox view of God as serious enough to exclude from what will be promoted as evangelical by at least of one of our faculty. And what makes the matter relevant this morning is that Christianity Today is exactly right to say, These theological debates have enormous implications for piety and pastoral care especially for how we respond to the tragedies that invade our lives (Christianity Today, vol. 45, no. 7, May 21, 2001, pp. 39-40).
Finally, what put me over the edge in planning for today was reading the cynical Washington Post article in the StarTribune yesterday (Saturday, May 12, 2001, Faith & Values Section) about another mother who was killed, with her baby, while sitting with her husband in a single-engine Cessna 185 floatplane over the jungles of Peru about four weeks ago. The Peruvian Air Force mistook the missionary plane for a drug plane and opened fire. Missionary Veronica Bowers, age 35, was holding her seven-month-old daughter Charity in her lap behind MAF pilot Kevin Donaldson. With them were Veronicas husband Jim and six-year-old son Cory. The pilots legs were shot and he put the plane into an emergency dive and amazingly landed it on a river where it sank just after they all got out. One bullet had passed by Jims head and made a hole in the windshield. Another bullet passed through Veronicas back and stopped inside her baby, killing them both.
So the question is: How do you handle the setbacks, the disappointments, the abuses, the heartaches, the calamities, the bitter providences of your life? And I ask it specifically to mothers, because to be a mother is a call to suffer. When Jesus looked for an analogy of suffering followed by joy, he said (in John 16:21), Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.
To be a mother is a call to suffer. Not just at the beginning of life, but also at the end. Simeon said to Mary, Jesus mother, Behold, this Child is appointed for the fall and rise of many in Israel, and for a sign to be opposed and a sword will pierce even your own soul" (Luke 2:34-35). Mothers suffer when their children are born. Mothers suffer when children leave them and go to the mission field. Mothers suffer when their children die. Mothers suffer when their children are foolish. A wise son makes a father glad, but a foolish son is a grief to his mother (Proverbs 10:1). To be a mother is a call to suffer. Oh yes, its more. But its not less.
So what do we do? Do we go the way of openness theology to handle the disappointments and heartaches and calamities of life, and say with one popular writer, When an individual inflicts pain on another individual, [one should not] go looking for the purpose of God in the event . . . Christians frequently speak of the purpose of God in the midst of tragedy caused by someone else. . . . But this I regard to simply be a piously confused way of thinking.[1] In other words, God had no particular purpose for taking Roni and Charity Bowers and leaving Jim and Cory. Were all the words of Elisabeth Elliot and Steve Saint and Jim Bowers at Ronis memorial service a piously confused way of thinking, and no true ground for comfort and strength?
Ill tell you what they said in a moment. But first let me lay a Biblical foundation, because in the end it is not the testimony of man that settles us, but the testimony of God in his Word, through Jesus Christ.
Consider two passages of Scripture, one from the Psalms, and one from the Gospel according to Matthew.
In Psalm 105 we have an inspired interpretation of an inspired Old Testament story, the story of Israel going down to Egypt preceded by Joseph, who was sold into slavery by his brothers. We learn two crucial things from verses 16-17, And [God] called for a famine upon the land; He broke the whole staff of bread. He sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave. Notice two things: the governance of God over natural calamities, and the governance of God over the sinful actions of men. It says God called for a famine that is a natural calamity that came on the world. And it says, God sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
That was sinful of his brothers to do, and in that sinful act God had a purpose so much so that the psalmist called their sinning Gods sending just like it says in Genesis 50:20 (Joseph to his brothers), As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive. When it says, God meant it, it says more than, God used it. This is the exact opposite of what openness theology teaches. God does have good purposes (good intentions, good meanings) in the hurts that others inflict on us. And we may and should take great comfort in this sovereign goodness in the setbacks and disappoints and heartaches calamities and bitter providences of our lives.
Then consider the words of Jesus on why missionary candidates should not fear to go to the hard and dangerous places, and why mothers should not fear to let their sons and daughters go or even take them. In Matthew 10:28-31 Jesus says to his disciples to get them ready for suffering:
Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (29). Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. (30) But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. (31) So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.
Notice three things. First, Jesus knows that people will kill the bodies of his missionaries. This is going to happen. But, he says, dont fear those who can only kill the body, and cant kill the soul (verse 28). Second, he says that we dont need to fear this hostility because no sparrow falls to the ground apart from God. And you, his disciples, are more valuable than many sparrows. So how much less will you be shot out of the sky apart from God! God governs the flight of a sparrow, and God governs the flight of arrows and bullets. This is the basis of every Bible story about the victory of God. The horse is made ready for battle but victory belongs to the Lord (Proverbs 21:31). Because bird flight and arrow flight and bullet flight belong to the Lord. This is the solid ground of our comfort in calamity: Gods sovereign goodness to all who trust him.
Now listen to the testimony of Roni Bowers husband at his wifes memorial service and words of Steve Saint and Elisabeth Elliot. These testimonies dont increase the authority of the Bible. But they do show the power of the Bible to sustain in a way radically different from the way openness theology tries to comfort.
Two weeks ago (April 27) Jim Bowers stood in front of twelve hundred people in Calvary Church of Fruitport, Michigan and said, Most of all I want to thank my God. Hes a sovereign God. Im finding that out more now. . . . Could this really be Gods plan for Roni and Charity; Gods plan for Cory and me and our family? Id like to tell you why I believe so, why Im coming to believe so.
And then he gives a long list of unlikely events in and after the shooting, and alludes to Gods sending his Son to the cross. Here are some of the key sentences that only those who trust in Gods sovereign care for his own will truly understand. He said, Roni and Charity were instantly killed by the same bullet. (Would you say thats a stray bullet?) And it didnt reach Kevin [the pilot] who was right in front of Charity; it stayed in Charity. That was a sovereign bullet. . . .
He speaks of his forgiveness to those who shot at the plane. How could I not, he says, when God has forgiven me so? Then he adds, Those people who did that, simply were used by God. Whether you want to believe it or not, I believe it. They were used by Him, by God, to accomplish His purpose in this, maybe similar to the Roman soldiers whom God used to put Christ on the cross.
Steve Saint was at the memorial service. In 1956, when Steve was a boy, his father was speared to death by the Auca Indians of Ecuador. Steve came to the microphone and looked down at Cory, the six-year-old boy whose mother and sister had been killed.
Cory, my name is Steve. You know what? A long time ago when I was just about your size, I was in a meeting just like this. I was sitting down there and I really didnt know completely what was going on. . . . But you know, now I understand it better. A lot of adults used a word then that I didnt understand. They used a word thats called tragedy. . . But you know, now Im kind of an old guy, and now when people come to me and they say, Oh I remember when that tragedy happened so long ago. I know, Cory, that they were wrong.
You see, my dad, who was a pilot like the man you probably call Uncle Kevin, and four of his really good friends had just been buried out in the jungles, and my mom told me that my dad was never coming home again. My mom wasnt really sad. So, I asked her, Where did my dad go? And she said, He went to live with Jesus. And you know, thats where my mom and dad had told me that we all wanted to go and live. Well, I thought, isnt that great that Daddy got to go sooner than the rest of us? And you know what? Now when people say, That was a tragedy, I know they were wrong.
Then Steve Saint looked up at these twelve hundred people and told them the difference between the unbelieving world and the followers of Jesus. He said, For them, the pain is fundamental and the joy is superficial because it wont last. For us, the pain is superficial and the joy is fundamental.
Words of Elisabeth Elliot
Finally, I mention what Elisabeth Elliot said to the family.
You wonder what God is doing, and of course, we know that God never makes mistakes. He knows exactly what He is doing, and suffering is never for nothing. . . . He has given to you, Jim, the cup of suffering, and you can share that with the Lord Jesus who said, The cup the Father has given to me, I have received.
She ended with a poem by Martha Snell Nicholson (a mendicant is a beggar):
I stood a mendicant of God before His royal throne
And begged him for one priceless gift, which I could call my own.
I took the gift from out His hand, but as I would depart
I cried, But Lord this is a thorn and it has pierced my heart.
This is a strange, a hurtful gift, which Thou hast given me.
He said, My child, I give good gifts and gave My best to thee.
I took it home and though at first the cruel thorn hurt sore,
As long years passed I learned at last to love it more and more.
I learned He never gives a thorn without this added grace,
He takes the thorn to pin aside the veil which hides His face.[2]
Thats where we have been in Romans 7. It isnt law-keeping that justifies us before God. It isnt first law-keeping that sanctifies us. It is the lifting of the veil so that we see Jesus for who he is, dying in our place and rising again so that we receive him as the treasure of our lives.
And if it takes a thorn to pin aside the veil if it takes disappointment and loss and heartache and calamity and bitter providences then, for Christs sake, and for the sake of our eternal joy seeing and savoring him, let it come. Amen.

Bracelet set in pink gold with diamonds
The art of the Magician of Stones consists in accentuating the brilliance of the stones by using the grain setting technique: the head of the serpent is highlighted and magnified. The dazzle of this line is enhanced by the delicate gold beads that surround them. All of this magic is reflected in the Serpent Bohème bracelet.More detail
Frédéric Boucheron is born in 1831 into a family of clothiers. He breaks with family tradition at a young age to open his jewelry shop. Having learnt much about delicacy in materials, he begins to make his gold work as supple as the fabrics and lace of his childhood. Success is immediate and soon the whole of Paris is rushing to the door of his Palais Royal boutique. In 1893, he is the first jeweler to open a boutique Place Vendôme, making this place a showcase of savoir-vivre, savoir-faire and French elegance that has no equal in the world. It is Frédéric Boucheron's unique ability to capture the zeitgeist that also leads him to invent new ways of wearing jewelry. His success spreads abroad and the order books start to include the names of members of Royal families and later of Hollywood's biggest stars.Discover all of the Boucheron moments

In an effort to raise awareness about the environmental impact of its devices, technology giant AT&T will be putting eco-rating stickers on all of their branded mobile phones. The system will go into effect later this year and will set a standard in an industry where such a big leap has yet to be made. The stickers will rate devices based on the use of low-impact materials, end of life recycling possibilities, energy-efficiency, and responsible manufacturing.
Much like the recently announced Chevrolet Ecologic stickers, the AT&T stickers give a full-circle glimpse into a products' life. AT&T is developing the stickers along with BSR, a global sustainability consultancy which will help ensure for consumers that the ratings are third-party certified. "Increasingly, consumers are mindful of a product's impact on the environment. We are excited to work with leading third-party organizations like BSR and our suppliers to help make it easier for our customers to learn about the environmental impact of products they plan to purchase," said Jeff Bradley, senior vice president, Devices, AT&T Mobility. "Our new eco-rating system will make it easier for our customers to make more informed purchasing decisions."
A new study by Deloitte says that 54% of shoppers say that sustainability is factored into their shopping decisions. In order to rate the devices manufacturers will have to submit 15 point assessments on devices which AT&T and BSR will base their ratings on. It is a great move towards transparency to stick a rating on products but in this system there is room for wiggling on the part of the device manufacturers. Let's hope that AT&T is doing third-party manufacturer audits to make sure their suppliers are staying true to their word — as Apple has just started to do. AT&T is the first mobile phone company to implement a widespread and transparent evaluation system like this and as Bradley said, "at the end of the day our goal is to be able to have the entire industry adopt this and improve the sustainability of device portfolios broadly."

By Bishop Gerald Kicanas
One in a series
DAY EIGHT: Jan. 12, 2010
JERUSALEM — This is the 10th year of the Coordination of Episcopal Conferences in the Holy Land. For the first time, representatives from all the Catholic communities in the Holy Land are present for our meeting. This includes the Latin Patriarchate, the Maronite Rite, the Melkite Rite, the Armenian Rite, and all the rites that are in union with the Holy Father.
This morning we began the day by celebrating Mass with the Maronite archbishop of Haifa and the Holy Land, which includes Jerusalem, Jordan, and the Palestinian Territories. Exarch Paul N. Sayah was the main celebrant of the Mass. He is a fellow runner. Again the singing at Mass in Arabic was very moving, as we had experienced in Jibna.
* * *
The day began with a presentation by Daniel Seidermann, a lawyer of Jewish ancestry who spoke about the struggle over the Old City in Jerusalem and its historic basin.
He emphasized that some characterize the struggle in the Holy Land as a conflict about land and territory. But it is much more than that. In fact the Old City is just one kilometer in size but here in this small space three narratives — the Jewish, Muslim and Christian — live all in the same secular space. The struggle is for these three great religions to find a way to live in harmony and peace.
Holy places for the Muslims, Jews, and Christians are physical embodiments of faith and need to be respected by all.
Seidermann is concerned about plans in Israel for Jerusalem that could seriously affect the balance between the faiths and people that exists in this complex city. In addition he reminded us that what happens in Jerusalem can affect the whole region, so it is critical that peace prevail.
He believes that some in Israel intend to establish Jerusalem as the capital of the Israeli state. The plans for Jerusalem, he asserts, will affect Christian holy places and Palestinian homes and property. The plan is supported by settlers who see this area as sacred to their faith, which it is, but that this planning is being done oblivious of the claims of Palestinian Muslims and Christians. He cited the Mount of Olives as one example.
As I have listened over these past few days, it is clear that everyone has their perspective about which they feel strongly. There are arguments to be made about every position but there is little dialogue between these various narratives that could correct misunderstandings and misperceptions.
* * *
Later in the morning I joined a small group of bishops representing diverse episcopal conferences and the apostolic nuncio to meet with the deputy minister of foreign affairs, Danny Ayalon, former ambassador to the United States.
He received us graciously and we had a chance to discuss a number of important and difficult questions that the church faces in the Holy Land. He was very reassuring that he felt, in a reasonable time, many of these concerns could be addressed.
We emphasized the concern of our conferences that the Fundamental Agreement between Israel and the Vatican, which has never been legally ratified, would be confirmed soon. It was on the basis of this Fundamental Agreement that the Vatican began diplomatic relations with Israel. Yet the agreement needs to be finalized and ratified. The issues of discussion involve recognition, respect and protection of holy places, protection of land, and taxation. Each of these difficult issues between the state and church need to be resolved soon. The process has taken far too long.
He expressed confidence that this could happen.
We also discussed the situation in Gaza and the concern of our conferences for the protection and safety of the people there. We explored the question of visas especially to scholars and religious workers who come to the Holy Land to assist the church here. None of these issues lend themselves to easy solutions but prompt solutions are necessary.
* * *
The afternoon was spent at Bethlehem University, where we were graciously received by the De La Salle Christian Brothers, who along with the Vatican began this critically important initiative in 1973. Since that time countless Palestinian students have received their college education and begun to take their place in significant positions in the West Bank and Gaza.
The university has been described as a beacon of hope, and that is exactly what it was for me. After several days of hearing the troubling and ominous views of where the Palestinian/Israeli situation is moving, this experience filled me with hope.
Two professors at the university, Vera Baboun and Raphaela Fischer Mourra, gave moving reflection on what the university has meant to them. Raphaela' s father, a German, was killed in Beit Jala by the Israeli military while he was attending to the medical needs of a person. This traumatic event is not unlike what so many Palestinians and Israelis have experienced in losing one of their loved ones in an act of violence.
She came to Bethlehem University "to realize my dreams." She went to Georgetown University in the United States to study for an advanced degree in journalism and now has returned to teach. Her story inspires hope.
We had an opportunity in small groups to talk to some of the Palestinian students. One was studying administration, another, chemistry, and a third, accounting with a minor in business. They began by describing some of the difficult experiences they face. One described how her grandfather in Aboud (a city on the West Bank) had lost his land and olive trees so that settlers could protect their settlement. Another reflected on the frustration of having to seek permission to go from one area of his country to another. One lamented that after all this time, in her 21 years of life, she has never known what it is like to live in peace.
They described how they have little opportunity to interact with Israeli young adults. They see Israeli's as dangerous. When they go to Jerusalem they feel like strangers. They sense that they are seen as dangerous. They meet young Israelis who are soldiers and sometimes they are treated like animals by these soldiers, as if they are extremists. Yet extremism and terrorism hurts them as well.
They expressed the desire that people would come to Palestine and meet them and see they are not terrorists but people like anyone else who have dreams they want to realize. They want to help their community.
I could only feel how tragic it is that the situation keeps young Israelis and Palestinians from meeting one another as a way of breaking down these stereotypes that keep one another at arm's length.
* * *
I also felt a burst of hope in visiting the Latin Patriarchate seminary in Beit Jala where young men are studying to serve as priests. It was encouraging to hear them sing, to listen to their desire to serve people, to hear their enthusiasm.
They are being called by the Lord to minister to a suffering people in a struggling land. How needed is the preaching of the Word and the message of hope they will bring.
* * *
At the same time we are in Jerusalem, a group of university leaders from the United States are being hosted by Catholic Relief Services in an effort to explore ways that United States universities can link with universities in Israel and the West Bank to cooperate. We had dinner together this evening and will join them again in Hebron tomorrow. I was impressed to hear their desire to discover ways that they can be an occasion to assist people in the Holy Land to realize their dreams and, perhaps, find ways to bring dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians.
Their visit is an effort to see what could be helpful and they are meeting with administrators, faculty, and students at the Bir Zeit University, Hebrew University,and Bethlehem University and others to explore possibilities, again a sign of hope.
Bishop Kicanas, of Tucson, Ariz., vice president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, visited Lebanon, Israel and the Palestinian territories to attend an international meeting of bishops in support of the church in the Holy Land. He was a guest blogger for us during the trip.

Carrick admits Euro task for United
Michael Carrick has admitted Manchester United have left themselves with a lot of hard work to do if they are to win their Champions League group after being stunned by Swiss side Basle at Old Trafford.
Michael Carrick has admitted Manchester United have left themselves with a lot of hard work to do if they are to win their Champions League group after being stunned by Swiss side Basle at Old Trafford.
Basle were within a minute of a shock away victory before Ashley Young's header made it 3-3 and rescued a point for United. The Swiss team lead Group C with four points from two games while Sir Alex Ferguson's men have just two, and midfielder Carrick said the players had "no excuses" for throwing away a 2-0 lead.
He said: "It's not the end of the world but it's not ideal and we've left ourselves a lot of hard work to do but we are capable of doing that. It was a bit of a shock to find ourselves 3-2 down after being 2-0 up. But we've no excuses, we threw it away. It's not like us at all but I'm sure it's a one-off and that we will bounce back."
Carrick also paid tribute to Young, who was making his debut in the Champions League after signing from Aston Villa in the summer, for holding his nerve to head the equaliser.
"We expect it of ourselves to keep going to the end and that if we get a chance, we'll score," added Carrick.
"Thankfully Ashley put it away and we might even have nicked a win in the end when Berba (Dimitar Berbatov) had half a chance. But that was probably asking too much.
"Ashley has settled in quickly and bought into everything about the club and how we approach things. He's got bags of character, he's kept going and got his reward."
Ferguson has expressed his concerns about United's lapses against Basle, and the defence also looked shaky against Stoke last weekend, but Carrick is confident the Premier League champions will get back on track at home to Norwich on Saturday.
"I've no doubt that we will be ready for that game," he said.
"I'm not saying it will be easy by any means but hopefully we can put in a good performance and get the win."

Mahatma Gandhi Research and Media Servicehttp://www.gandhiserve.orgGandhi Serve Foundation (Germany)Reviewed by: Robert DeCaroliGeorge Mason University August 2003
This site was created to promote the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and offers an impressive collection of materials associated directly with the life and teachings of Mohandas K. Gandhi. A store sells Gandhi-related materials, but most of the primary sources are provided at no charge.
The site is not well organized, so it takes a little time and effort to explore its riches. These include 15,000 photographs, 6 hours of documentary clips on Gandhi's life, 35,000 letters written to and by Gandhi, and links to 140 hours of audio clips (including more than 10 hours of Gandhi's voice in English). There is also an extensive bibliography and filmography with references to more than 8,800 books and films dealing with Gandhi's life and teachings. Although these references are of significant value, most visitors to the site will find the video, audio, and images of greatest interest and utility.
The website organizes the collection by media and offers an overview of Gandhi's life and philosophy. "Who's Gandhi?" is an ideal place for students to begin when seeking to learn about his life. The biographical details will help users understand the materials available. The six-hour documentary on the life of Gandhi provides an ideal way to supplement the information found in the biography.
Of particular interest are the 15 audio clips of Gandhi's own voice in English (there are many more in Hindi). In addition, 10 audio files offer words by famous individuals about Gandhi. The recorded individuals range from Lord Mountbatten to Martin Luther King, Jr. The site also contains an extensive list of quotes and passages taken from the writings of Gandhi and arranged by topic, as well as a genealogy of the Gandhi family and information on stamps and coins that portray the Mahatma.
However, the biggest strength of this site rests in the "Online Image Archive." This archive includes 513 images of publications (mostly newspaper headlines), 1,563 photographs, 407 documents, 2947 personal correspondences, 248 works of art (ranging from designs to paintings), and 31 political cartoons. Although some of this material makes very specific references to events in Gandhi's personal and political life, the vast majority can be readily appreciated by those with a general understanding of Gandhi's biography. These impressive images are an ideal way for researchers and students to become more familiar with the history of India, colonialism, and the life of this great man.

CHMOW thanks a supporter
Chestnut Hill Meals on Wheels would like to take this opportunity to say "thank you" to Zelman Fairorth for his recognition and positive feedback about our program.
Mr. Fairorth highlighted much of our program's service and the contents of our meals. We deliver five days a week, 52 weeks a year, two fresh meals and beverages (a cold lunch and a hot supper) prepared by the chefs at Keystone House and delivered by volunteers.
We have also provided "breakfast bags" and "emergency blizzard bags" filled with non-perishable essential items that have been collected, prepared and donated by area school children, faculty and friends. CHMOW is extremely grateful for the generosity shown by our school communities, local faith based organizations, community associations, individuals and businesses.
With community support, CHMOW offers an avenue of relief not only for seniors and homebound neighbors we serve but also, like Mr. Fairorth, those responsible for their care. By providing nutrition and a daily visit from caring volunteers, CHMOW enables its clients to retain a level of independent living and helps alleviate some of the burden of care for their families and caregivers.
The only pre-requisite for CHMOW service is need, individuals must be limited in their ability to shop and prepare meals for themselves. Our service can be long range or used on a short term basis: for example, during recovery from an illness or surgery. We certainly appreciated Mr. Fairorth's comments and appeal for extra funds, extra help and more customers. We invite everyone to visit our website at www.chestnuthillmow.com for more program and contact information.
We hope to continue to provide the kind of service that Mr. Fairorth has come to expect. We do this with pride, care and love with each meal we deliver.

A forerunner of such violent games as the Grand Theft Auto series, Road Rash is a rousingly good combat racing motorcycle game that encourages players to punch, kick, and club their opponents off the twisting, turning tracks.
You'd better come wearing your tough-guy boots if you hope to win this race. Extreme arcade racing has never been so rough, as you'll have to kick, beat, punch, and maul your opponents with chains, clubs, sticks, and other brutal weaponry. Of course, your opponents can and will fight back, sometimes going so far as to put you on a hit list for later group pummeling.
Not only that, you've got to watch out for the fuzz! The cops are out in full force setting up road blocks, chasing you on motorcycles, and hauling you off to jail if you're unfortunate enough to take a spill in front an officer. Pick your racer (the gamut runs from punks to jocks), and then head off to Der Panzer Klub, where you can talk to fellow riders, sign up for a race, or purchase a new ride.
You can choose between rat bikes, sport bikes, and super bikes, but you'll need to win plenty of races to earn enough cash for an upgrade.
Paced admirably by a hard driving soundtrack, the game strikes a nice balance between hitting and racing, and the controls are smooth and easy to use. Players can win money for bike upgrades by winning (or simply placing in) races on five different courses: Sierra Nevada, Pacific Coast, Redwood Forest, Palm Desert, and Grass Valley. The frame rate could use a boost to make the scrolling a bit smoother, but the players and bikes look good, there's ample roadside and background detail (including cows, trees,mountains, and slippery sand), and the game itself remains a pleasure long after the newness has worn off.
Road Rash features:
* Five unique tracks
* Variety of motorcycles, obstacles, weapons, and upgrades
* 25 minutes of video
* Music by Sound garden
Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/
posted by : GOESMOER ~ free download laptop
DOWNLOAD Road Rash For PC - Full Game- 20 MB May be useful for bloggers. Thank you for your willingness to visit with my friend to download this post. Feedback can be convey buddy through Facebook wall. Once Again I Say Thank You.

BC & Harness: I use a Dive Rite Transpac-I (the old one) with an even older 55# air cell. I tried the newer ones, but could not get the "flat" air cell effect I wanted out of them, so went back to this one. The entire air cell, harness, and methods of mounting the bottles, is a variation of Rennakers, with some modifications. The air cell is held down in variable increments around the perimeter of the wing, to the harness, with SS quick links. To facilitate this, I had 1" webbing tabs sewn onto the edge of the wing, that the quick links slide through. This serves to hold down, and to "fold" the air cell's outer edges downward and inward, to keep the entire wing tucked in and around, low, and flat. The air cell has (12) 1" tabs sewn into it's edges, of which (2) connect each side at the top shoulder harness, (2) each side at the bottom of the cell (small of the back), (2) each behind the armpit, and (2) on each side for the waste webbing. (2) remain unattached to the actual harness but serve as a location to secure the bungie, that comes from around back for holding & supporting the top of the primary bottle. Theinflator hose is 8" long, and lays just in front of the top of my left shoulder. This allows you to vent gas from the cell, in a tight horizontal position where you cannot raise your head. The harness has a 2" crotch strap with a D ring in both front and back. There is a 1/4" braided bungie chest strap, across the chest (this serves to pull the head of the bottle in also), which is where I keep my markers. Lastly, on the front of the harness I have installed neoprene sheathing to cover the D rings I do not use and to make it cleaner.
Primary Bottles: Currently, I am using OMS Faber 85's for a LOT of my dives, and 112's for the longer, or deeper dives. I connect the top of the primary bottle's tank valve, into the bungie shown here, and connect thebottom band of the bottle, to each D ring on the butt plate. The bottles have opposing valves and I point the knobs out, and face the DIN opening up and toward my torso. The position of the bottles is such that the first stage and tank valve lay underneath my armpit, and a little behind. The bottle's butt ends at the hip. They do not hang below the profile of the diver, nor do they maintain anything but a horizontal attitude. Lastly I would say they need to "move around" a little bit. Not too stiff. I like some play in the bottles, as movement is easier in small places.
Valves: I use Thermo modular manifold valves, as I like the extra post sticking out from the other side of the valve. Works well for hanging in the front bungie. I also have the burst disks doubled up. As indicated above, these valves I face up, so that when the regulator's first stage is screwed into the valve, it is protected and against my torso, instead of being pointed into the rocks and clay. The bottles are rotated so that valves lay facing up, and flat or horizontal when in the water. I can then access each valve knob quickly from each side.
Regulators: For my primary regulators, I am currently pleased with the performance of two Poseidon Xtream's. For the left bottle, and off of the first stage ports, I route a 24" LP hose for the BC, a 6" HP gauge with a brass gauge, and (1) second stage with 28" hose . I direct the HP and LP hoses backwards and across the shoulder of the tank. The LP comes under my arm and behind my shoulder, across the top and into the inflator. I tuck the HP gauge in my armpit. This means I have to reach for it to see it, but I like that better than sticking out in front of me bending backwards on everything. It lays in the "direction of forward travel". The regulator comes across my chest, lays flat (no extra hose) and is housed in a regulatorbungie on the RIGHT shoulder, where it can be "snatched" from, and also easily replaced. For the right bottle, I have a 12" LP hose for the dry suit inflator, another 6" Hp with brass PG, and a second reg on a 28" hose, which is housed on the OTHER side, the left shoulder.
Bottle Connections: There are specific right side and left side bottles. I keep a small L or R on the neck to discern between the two, if the scratch patterns don't tell me first. Reason for this is of course that they are "rotated" and "set" to hang a certain way (valve presentation) and need to be on the proper side for the knobs to face the right way. That being said, I use a 2" cam band, a SS retainer, 18" of 1/4" braided line, and a #2 brass swiveling snap clip. Over all of that, to keep it smooth and confined, is about 6" of tubing cut out of the front of a tractor tire. You want it tight, snug, and thick so that rocks don't slide them off, they present a "smooth" sliding surface, and they wear well. Loose, thin rubber is a hassle. The main connection is 1/4" line so that it can be cut in emergency. No "metal-to-metal" on these two. The clips swivel, but are always clipped face down, NOT up. The cam buckle is on the bottom. These are clipped to each side of the butt plate first, one at a time, which rests...well...on my butt. pic1 pic2 The top of the bottles are then hung in the bungie that comes acrossfrom my back. This is again secured to one of the SS quick links, and then connected via the red carabiner you see, onto the shoulder strap. This bungie runs right under your arm if you are wearing the harness.
Exposure Suit: When I dive dry I wear a Zeagle (basically an Otter) 4 mil, neoprene, with thin wool underwear. Fits like a wetsuit except for the exhaust valve, pee valve, and inflator protruding some. When it gets really low and nasty (and as long as the duration is not too long) I dive wet in a Harvey's Cobalt 7/5 mil one piece, wrists to ankles, with a 3 mil vested hood.
Fins: I use ScubaPro Jets
Mask: I currently wear a Oceanic low profile mask (mini shadow) as a primary UNDERNEATH my hood, and Mares Free Diving mask as a backup carried in a thigh pocket.
Reels: This is subjective based on the dive I am doing, but basically the bigger the reel the larger the line diameter. I use Dive Rites, LG Gear prototypes, a spool, and enclosed reel as a safety. Some dives will required a reel with 600 feet of #36 on it for high flowing tidal caves, down to #18 in small sidemount passages. All of the line I use is braided, and knotted every 10 feet.
Primary Light: Lately I have been using Dive Rites wreck-1 canisters, and have bought three of them. Never had any trouble with any one of them yet. I chose the 10 watt focusable beam for two reasons. One, I like focusable beams, and two, they take the Dive Rite video reflector. I mount this light on my right side waste webbing, in much the same location as Hogarthian waste mounted lights. I use a bungie or you can use the new big rubber bands as in this illustration, to connect the canister to the webbing. You want something here you can remove if necessary. When horizontal in the water it lays below the right hand primary tank, but above the lowest profile of the diver. HID lights have made this easier.
Backup Lights: In addition to, two mini Q4's from UK mounted on my hood (not the mask strap) that I use a lot for surveying, I also carry two Mini Q4's in a waist pouch along with one Halcyon scout. This pouch is mainly for backup lights and is mounted on the left side, opposite my light canister. In this pouch I also carry extra pencils, a spare cutting tool, some kermantle and #24 braided line for repairs, a few extra markers, and air tables.
Stages: I use aluminum 80's for stages, with the same valves, incorporating the same 2" cam band mounting system at the bottom. However, the type of clips and the way they attach are different, as are thetop mounting connections. Additionally, I use a 1# (old Healthways) lead weight (about 3/8") on the cam band to offset the positive characteristics of the bottles near the end of the dive. Again all of this is covered in tractor tubing. The top of the bottle connects to the chest D rings, running under the armpits, via the 1/4" bungie, that is 4" long. This arrangement of weight, bungie, and the placement of the cam band higher than the primary bottles, allows the stages to ride ON TOP and behind the primary bottles, laying nice and flat and streamlined. The stages lay about 4" BEHIND the primary bottles when swimming.
Gauges/Computers: For shorter, not so deep dives I use a Nitek -3 backed up with cut tables for every dive. For the deeper/longer (trimix) dives I use two bottom timers (OMS and Uwatec) and strictly cut tables.
Accessories: I carry a set of wet notes in my right thigh pocket (I am right handed go figure) with standard mix tables for Tx and Nx. I carry all survey tapes, and work line, (survey & expl reels) on my butt D ring on the crotchstrap. If I am carrying a survey slate(s), I will attach it to the left shoulder D ring and "tuck" the slate under the shoulder harness. There is also a D ring on my right shoulder harness, for deco gas, and one each left and right, on my waist.
Summary: Myself, as a lot of others do, believe in the minimalistic approach. I take only what is needed, so simplicity is part of my gear configuration. Reduce drag, and keep things clean and streamlined. Everything (connections) uses line or small bungie, and everything is done in square knots, and burned. No ties. Sidemount systems, although using the same fundamental safety methods, are highly individualistic. They can range from old open water BC's, with weight belts and D rings, to the newest wing. Lastly, side "mounting" is NOT just for acessing small places, but more of a style of cave diving.
I have put together my rig using the TP2 w/Trek wings and sidemounting kit from DR. I personally like the setup with a few reservations. First, I use and prefer the "tech D-rings" for mounting the tanks. They keep the tanks in close and snug but with heavy tanks it's difficult to lift and snap on the tanks buy one's self. A buddy can be of great assistance here, but once in place it's a pretty cool and slick setup. Those "other" mounting devices that DR options for us might be better left on DR's shelf in the back of their plant. Next, I find it almost a necessity to wear a crotch strap to help keep everything in place, especially from sliding up. Next, I have bought and put in place on the appropriate location on the TP harness, those fabulous little inner tube bungee things that Halcyon sells for keeping backup lights in place when clip on the front of your rig (the streamlining thing you know). The latest TP2/Trek wings combo has no clips on the wings to help keep the wings from "wrapping up," like up around a single tank kind of thing. To solve this, any place that sell good ole small quick links is the solution. A couple of these secured around the compression bungee cord on the Trek wing and fasten to the plastic links on the side of the TP2 harness will more than solve the floating up problem. It's minimal anyway because the wing is placed inside of the TP2 harness when assembling the sidemount setup. And finally, I've replaced the factory cross-chest connection DR puts on the TP2 harness with my own setup of two clips, two quick links, and one fairly large metal ring. Needless to say your cross-chest connection isn't going to come loose, but the reason I've gone with a contraption like this is so I have a very convenient clipping point for that HID light head that I recently had to replace a bulb in ($100) as well as clipping off the reg I'm not using when side mounting. Hope this all helps some, Jack.

Another year, another list of Most Googled Diets to analyze. Although a quick glance at the line-up for 2012 makes me wonder if maybe we should be analyzing a list of Most Googled Magic Weight Loss Bullets: Either we're a bunch of lazy schlumps or seriously cockeyed optimists, because guess what? The easiest-sounding diets got the most searches! (Color me shocked.)
Seriously, no wonder we're in the middle of an obesity epidemic. I was so taken aback by which regime got ranked 2012's #1 Most Googled Diet, I literally quadruple-checked my sources. (And then I checked again.)
I know, I know: Well, what is it?! When are you gonna tell us?? Relax, you'll find out which diets were in the Top 5 after the jump, plus whether or not they're worth your search engine's time. Just prepare to be surprised ...
Ready? Here they are, the Top 5 Most Googled Diets of 2012:
1. The Michael Phelps Diet
Number #1, really?! Okay, so while training for Beijing, Olympic gold medal-winning swimmer Michael Phelps consumed 12,000 calories a day -- but he's an Olympic gold medal-winning swimmer!! I don't care how much time you spend at the gym, the average person can NOT burn that off.
Is it a diet try-it? NO.
2. Beyond Diet
Otherwise known as the gluten-free regime Miley Cyrus credits for her washboard abs, the concept is that by eating foods with a low glycemic index, one can avoid the foods that cause a spike in glucose levels (which releases insulin, which packs on the pounds).
Is it a diet try-it? Maybe. Give it a shot, probably won't hurt.
3. The Raspberry Ketone Diet
I love Dr. Mehmet Oz, and I want to believe his claim about raspberry ketones being the "#1 miracle in a bottle for burning your fat." The ketones are supposed to boost levels of a fat-blasting hormone; so far, this seems to work for mice ... but no actual studies have been conducted on humans yet.
Is it a diet try-it? As with going gluten-free, this probably won't hurt. So sure, why not? Just don't expect miracles.
4. PINK Method Diet
P.I.N.K. stands for Power, Intensity, Nutrition and cardio (with a K, because, well, otherwise that would just look dumb). It's basically a traditional healthy eating/exercise plan mapped out in extreme detail and tons of promotional incentives; also, Dr. Phil is a fan.
Is it a diet try-it? Yes (but you can probably figure out the same strategies on your own).
5. The Adriana Lima Diet
Come on, seriously? Model Adriana Lima had to drop 40 pounds for a Victoria's Secret Fashion Show just 6 weeks after giving birth, so she restricts herself to protein shakes and water -- NO SOLIDS -- for nine days before the big show (12 hours before the show she stops drinking altogether). How is this a "diet," exactly?
Is it a diet try-it? Hell no.'
Did you Google any of these diets in 2012? Did you try any of them?

In the 1980s, there wasn't a continent that wasn't touched by the Stray Cats. The band was credited for reviving rockabilly and made the top of the charts in the U.S., U.K. and Australia with hits such as "Stray Cat Strut" and "Sexy and 17."
On Saturday, the Galaxy Theatre in Santa Ana will welcome former Stray Cats bassist Lee Rocker (born Leon Drucker) to the stage where he'll perform Stray Cats classics and sing some cover songs off his newest EP, "Cover Sessions," which hits shelves March 15.
"Cover Sessions" is an "interesting departure," Rocker said, because it isn't what people would expect from the American rockabilly bassist.
"It's not a rockabilly record, like the Stray Cats; it's more Americana music," the longtime Laguna Beach resident said.
Rocker grew up with the six cover songs, with the originals by artists such as Paul McCartney and Elton John.
"It's sort of like playing with some different colors that I haven't played with before," he said.
Rocker is known for his mastery in the string instruments: He is also familiar with cello and electric bass. For his most recent endeavor, he included instruments such as the mandolin and ukulele, giving a unique sound to familiar tunes.
This will be his first time back to the music stage in a while, but he was in a theater not too long ago. Rocker recently performed in 16 Broadway performances of "Million Dollar Quartet."
"It was a hell of an experience," he said. "It's one of those things on the bucket list for a musician/entertainer."
Living in Laguna for the past 21 years, Rocker isn't a stranger to the Santa Ana music venue, which is just across Costa Mesa city limits on Harbor Boulevard.
"The Galaxy Theatre is a place I've played a lot," he said. "It's kind of my backyard. It's one of my favorite places to play."
However, he asserts it is a special performance.
"It's a rare occurrence," he said. "I'm not playing out live that often, maybe once a year or so."
The Galaxy Theatre, which last heard Lee Rocker in 2007, is looking forward to Saturday's show.
"He's performed here numerous times before," Galaxy publicist Leila Sadeghi said. "The show was very fun. People were hitting the dance floor and dancing to the old tunes from the Stray Cats that he played."
Big Sandy and his Fly-Rite Boys, a rockabilly swing band opening for Rocker, couldn't be more excited to be followed by an icon.
"When I was a teenager in the early '80s and caught up in the excitement of the rockabilly revival that the Stray Cats ignited here in the U.S., I never dreamed that someday I'd be sharing the bill with any of them," Robert "Big Sandy" Williams wrote in an e-mail. "Here I find myself, 30 years later, playing with Lee Rocker one night and with another Stray Cat, Slim Jim Phantom, on the night before."
Big Sandy and his Fly-Rite Boys are playing with Phantom on Friday night at the Brixton South Bay in Redondo Beach.
Rocker is planning to return to rockabilly with an album that will be released this summer.
Although the bassist grew up in New York, he's happy to perform for his Orange County fans.
"After this many years, Orange County is my home," Rocker said.
