To the long list of objects vulnerable to attack by computer hackers, add the human heart.
The threat seems largely theoretical. But a team of computer security researchers plans to report Wednesday that it had been able to gain wireless access to a combination heart defibrillator and pacemaker.
They were able to reprogram it to shut down and to deliver jolts of electricity that would potentially be fatal if the device had been in a person. In this case, the researcher were hacking into a device in a laboratory.
The researchers said they had also been able to glean personal patient data by eavesdropping on signals from the tiny wireless radio that Medtronic, the device's maker, had embedded in the implant as a way to let doctors monitor and adjust it without surgery.
The report, to published at www.secure-medicine.org, makes clear that the hundreds of thousands of people in this country with implanted defibrillators or pacemakers to regulate their damaged hearts they include Vice President Dick Cheney have no need yet to fear hackers. The experiment required more than $30,000 worth of lab equipment and a sustained effort by a team of specialists from the University of Washington and the University of Massachusetts to interpret the data gathered from the implant's signals. And the device the researchers tested, a combination defibrillator and pacemaker called the Maximo, was placed within two inches of the test gear.
Defibrillators shock hearts that are beating chaotically and dangerously back into normal rhythms. Pacemakers use gentle stimulation to slow or speed up the heart. Federal regulators said no security breaches of such medical implants had ever been reported to them.
The researchers said they chose Medtronic's Maximo because they considered the device typical of many implants with wireless communications features. Radios have been used in implants for decades to enable doctors to test them during office visits. But device makers have begun designing them to connect to the Internet, which allows doctors to monitor patients from remote locations.
The researchers said the test results suggested that too little attention was being paid to security in the growing number of medical implants being equipped with communications capabilities.
"The risks to patients now are very low, but I worry that they could increase in the future," said Tadayoshi Kohno, a lead researcher on the project at the University of Washington, who has studied vulnerability to hacking of networked computers and voting machines.
The paper summarizing the research is called "Pacemakers and Implantable Cardiac Defibrillators: Software Radio Attacks and Zero-Power Defenses." The last part refers to defensive possibilities the researchers outlined that they say would enhance security without draining an implant's battery. They include methods for warning a patient of tampering or requiring that an incoming signal be authenticated, using energy harvested from the incoming signals.
But Mr. Kohno and Kevin Fu, who led the University of Massachusetts arm of the project, said they had not tried to test the defenses in an actual implant or to learn if anyone trying to use them might run afoul of existing patent claims.
Another participant in the project, Dr. William H. Maisel, a cardiologist who is director of the Medical Device Safety Institute at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, said that the results had been shared last month with the F.D.A., but not with Medtronic.
"We feel this is an industry-wide issue best handled by the F.D.A.," Dr. Maisel said.
The F.D.A. had already begun stepping up scrutiny of radio devices in implants. But the agency's focus has been primarily on whether unintentional interference from other equipment might compromise the safety or reliability of the radio-equipped medical implants. In a document published in January, the agency included security in a list of concerns about wireless technology that device makers needed to address.
Medtronic, the industry leader in cardiac regulating implants, said Tuesday that it welcomed the chance to look at security issues with doctors, regulators and researchers, adding that it had never encountered illegal or unauthorized hacking of its devices that have telemetry, or wireless control, capabilities.
"To our knowledge there has not been a single reported incident of such an event in more than 30 years of device telemetry use, which includes millions of implants worldwide," a Medtronic spokesman, Robert Clark, said. Mr. Clark added that newer implants with longer transmission ranges than Maximo also had enhanced security.
Boston Scientific, whose Guidant division ranks second behind Medtronic, said its implants "incorporate encryption and security technologies designed to mitigate these risks."
St. Jude Medical, the third major defibrillator company, said it used "proprietary techniques" to protect the security of its implants and had not heard of any unauthorized or illegal manipulation of them.
Dr. Maisel urged that patients not be alarmed by the discussion of security flaws. "Patients who have the devices are far better off having these devices than not having them," he said. "If I needed a defibrillator, I'd ask for one with wireless technology."

I'm rushing back to babysitting today after getting back from Christmas Future in Montana. I'm also emotionally recovering from my Ghost of Christmas Future set-back. Also feverishly finishing my gift swap presents. Honestly, being around this goofy fat-ass cat makes me feel better (when he's not waking me up at 4 in the morning by puking). He's so unadulterated... himself. He knows he's the shit and he's going to do whatever the fuck he wants (including peeing over the edge of the GIANT litter box onto the floor... twice).
He does this every time I eat cereal. Like I have said, he's part dog. Hope everyone is having one hell of a Wednesday (in a good way). Woof and Wine at Jameson Loves Danger tonight for any Chicago folks.

La Sierra Soccer Club
Team Parent
Make a Team Roster
Include the player's name, telephone number, parent's/guardian's names, and if possible, email addresses.
Distribute the list to each family.
Make Snack Schedule
Snacks typically include fruit at each halftime and a drink and snack at the end of each game. It is helpful to
inquire if any of the soccer players have an allergy to a particular kind of food or drink.
Team Banner
Find out if a banner already exists for your team. If not, make a team banner. Banners are generally 3
feet by 4 feet or as large as 4 feet by 5 feet and includes all player names or nicknames. The banner will be
the background for your team photo.
Team Photos
Team photos will be on September 25th, 2014. Each player will receive a memory mate photo as a part of their registration fees.
Trophies are included in this year's registration fees, so there is no additional cost. Compile a list of player names for the trophies. It is very important that the names are spelled correctly. Please double check the spelling of all names with the parents. Trophies should be distributed at the end of the season party.
Coach's Gift
Toward the end of the season, collecting a small contribution for the coaches' gifts (coach & assistant) is
standard. A coach plaque or gift card is a nice thank you gift. The coaches are volunteers and spend a
lot of time and energy with your kids.
End of the Year Party
Near the beginning of October, you will receive the second half of the season's schedule. This is a good
time to reserve a location and time for the team party. It is practical to plan it for the same day as the last
scheduled game. Plan early because pizza and party locations book up quickly. Most local pizzerias will give a
soccer team discount of 10 to 15% off the total bill if ordered in advance. A cake or cupcakes can be
provided by a parent volunteer or purchased through donations from the team.

2017 Biotech Breakthrough on a Green Screen Day
Biotech stocks got a second wind today and the 2017 rally broke through recent tops that have been strong resistance. Our favorite trading pick the XBI soared 4.82% to $70.48 breaking through the September top and 19% up YTD. The large cap IBB went up 2.89% to $298 right at its September high and up 12.39% YTD.
The momentum lately has been in the speculative small and mid-cap stocks more sensitive to clinical news and M&A rumors. All large cap biopharma stocks except Roche ADR (RHHBY) were up led by Regeneron (REGN) up 3.34%. Mid-Caps always strong in a rally were up across the board led by the usual suspects: Alnylam (ALNY) up 10%, Radius Health (RDUS) up 6.21%, Clovis Oncology (CLVS) up 5.22%, Seattle Genetics (SGEN) up 5.09% and BMRN, ICPT, VRTX etc. Tesaro (TSR) lagged up only 0.28%.
Many Rayno Biopharma focus stocks had a good day: Array (ARRY) up 8.24%, Biogen (BIIB) up 2.1%, bluebird bio (BLUE) up 7% and Foundation Medicine (FMI) up 4.65%.
Update at mid-day tomorrow. The rally has good momentum for trading and the core portfolio. The healthcare and biotech sectors led an otherwise lackluster market today with the NASDAQ up only 0.28%.

In early August 2015, Cyclone Komen triggered severe floods and landslides across 12 states and regions in Myanmar, affecting more than 300,000 people.
More than 1 million acres of farmland was submerged, resulting in food scarcity, loss of livelihoods, destroyed latrine facilities, and contaminated drinking water in affected communities.
In response to the devastation, HOPE International Development Agency (HOPE) collaborated with a long-term partner in Myanmar, Metta Development Organization (Metta), to meet some of the most urgent needs in communities affected by the floods.
In the aftermath of the floods, restoration of latrines was paramount. Without proper latrine facilities, disease spreads quickly, and with severe consequences, as water sources become contaminated.
With HOPE's support, Metta was able to respond to urgent requests from community leaders in Tamu Township to help construct 142 latrines to replace the ones destroyed by the cyclone. The newly constructed latrines contributed to ensuring the good health and sanitation of 236 families and 2 schools within 4 villages of Tamu Township.
Helping people restore their means of earning a living was another top priority in the crisis response. To do this, HOPE offered small cash grants to families whose livelihoods had been taken by the cyclone. Cash grants are an effective means of support for people affected by natural disasters. The grants maintain dignity and choice for families, as well as support local economies.
With HOPE's support, 314 families received cash grants ranging from $60 to $150 CAD, enabling them to move out of "survival mode" and take steps to restore their livelihoods. In Tamu Township, families used the grants to establish small businesses raising pigs, or selling fruit and vegetables.
In the agricultural communities of Yay Nan Chaung Township, located on the banks of the Ayeyarwaddy River, families were devastated by the destruction of property and loss of crops and seeds. The main livelihood activity in these communities is agriculture. Families used the cash grants to cover costs related to re-establishing agricultural activities, including rehabilitating soil damaged by flooding and preparing it for cultivation, obtaining seeds, and labour. Families who received grants are now successfully cultivating onions, watercress, chili, and mustard, among other crops.
A year after Cyclone Komen, families living in flood-affected areas are healthier, stronger and more able to care for their own needs, thanks to the joint effort between HOPE, our partner Metta, and the families themselves. With a restored means of earning a living, families are once again providing for themselves, and the new latrines are helping ensure families and their communities stay healthy.

The Top 5 Reasons To Eat Raw – by Frederic Patenaude
Over the years of being in the raw foods scene, I've heard a lot of crazy theories as to "why" people ate a raw food diet and didn't cook their food.
Some of them really do make sense, like the preservation of nutrients.
Others, like when someone says that they should eat green bananas because of the enzymes present in them, don't hold as much weight.
I want to let you know that Frederic's book, "How to Eat Well for Under $100 a Month on a Plant-Based Diet" is available now for $17 instead of the usual price of $47.

I will say that a 100% raw food diet may be very appropriate and beneficial for many people. For others however, the all-or-nothing approach just doesn't work the way they want it to.
There are also many different people who believe many different things. And anything you believe is just that: something you believe. That can change.
I personally don't think there is any life force in food, something touted in raw circles, besides the raw materials necessary for human nutrition. I haven't found any proof to bring me to another conclusion for myself.
However, you may disagree with me and still think that there is indeed life force in food or any other thing you want to believe. Nobody needs a rational reason to think or believe anything, and that's okay.
I have certain beliefs that are not completely rational.
For example, I do believe that everything happens for a reason. That kind of belief is based on my personal experience, and it also works for me. But I know it's not necessarily "rational", it's just something I believe.
Top 5 Reasons to Eat Raw
Nutrient Density
Fruits and vegetables are the most-nutrient-dense foods on the planet, and most of these foods are better eaten raw than cooked.
When we say that a food is "nutrient-dense," we mean that it has many nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, per calorie. Starchy foods are calorie-dense, but not as nutrient-dense as fruits and vegetables.
In other words, 500 calories of rice or potatoes will contain fewer vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals than 500 calories of kale, or 500 calories of apples.
By eating a diet composed mainly of fruits and vegetables, we take in more nutrients than if we were to eat mostly cooked foods.
There are some exceptions, however. Cooked green vegetables tend to be more nutrient-dense than raw greens, simply because we can eat more of them more easily.
For example, you probably remember taking a huge amount of spinach and cooking it down in a matter of seconds to almost nothing. Well that small cup of cooked spinach is now jam-packed with minerals, and will only take you a few minutes to eat. On the other hand, the same amount of raw spinach would take much longer to chew and eat.
Raw foodists can use the same principle by using a blender and other devices to process their food, such as the case of green smoothies.
Caloric Density
One of the most important concepts to understand in human nutrition is that of caloric density. Caloric density is an estimation of a food's energy content by weight.
For example, an entire head of lettuce weighing over one pound contains less than 100 calories. That means that the caloric density of lettuce is less than 100 calories per pound.
On the other hand, a single tablespoon of oil contains 120 calories. So you have more calories in 1 tablespoon of oil than in a pound of lettuce. But guess which one is going to fill you up more?
The principle of caloric density is to encourage eating sufficient nutrients while feeling satisfied eating a larger volume of food and a healthy amount of calories.
Studies have confirmed that if you feed people foods of low caloric density, they will eat as much as they want, not be hungry and lose weight, without having to count calories or feel deprived.
Now it's important to note that nobody will ever really successfully live off a diet of just raw vegetables, and I wouldn't recommend doing so.
However, you want your diet to contain plenty of raw vegetables by weight.
The concept of caloric density is to look at the overall caloric density of the foods you eat throughout the day.
Low Toxic Load
When cooking carbohydrates (such as potatoes) at high temperatures (baking, frying, etc.), a compound called acrylamide is created. In animal studies, high doses of acrylamide cause cancer and doesn't sound very promising for your health.
More acrylamide is created when foods are cooked at a higher temperature or for longer periods of time.
We also know that other molecules called "Maillard Molecules" are formed when foods brown and caramelize during cooking. Some people speculate that these new compounds, created in the cooking process, may affect health negatively.
It's also important to note that the act of being alive and toxic to you, and every bite of food you ever intake will always have varying degrees of "nutriment" and varying degrees of "toxicity".
While certain forms of cooking appear to be relatively harmless (steaming, for example), the surest way to reduce the amount of toxins in your diet to the lowest level is to eat foods in their raw state.
You Eliminate Everything Else That's Really Bad for You
One of the main reasons why people get sick is that they eat so many "dead", pre-packaged foods.
These foods are not only heavily processed, but they contain a long list of suspicious ingredients, including MSG, preservatives, artificial coloring, and more.
Eating a raw food diet automatically eliminates all of this unhealthy food, which means that your diet will be 100% more clean and pure. It will be "wholesome" in the true sense of the word.
When I started the raw food diet, there were no pre-packaged raw snacks available. All that I bought were actual foods: fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Eventually I got into olive oil, but that was a pretty simple product. The "worst" thing that raw foodists bought was jars of olives that could possibly have been marinated in salt water.
Nowadays, a variety of raw food snacks — from kale chips to chocolate brownies — are available. Many of the people making these products do remain true to their nature of keeping them free of artificial flavors and preservatives, but processed foods are still processed foods and eaten in moderation.
Raw fruits and vegetables, as well as raw nuts and seeds, are absolutely packed with phytochemicals.
"Phyto" means "plant," so the term phytochemical designates different compounds in foods that protect against illness. Some phytochemicals can prevent DNA damage caused by free radicals.
You've probably heard of antioxidants with cancer-preventing benefits found in many fruits and vegetables and dark leafy greens. Antioxidants are a class of phytochemicals.
Some of the most potent phytochemicals are found in raw foods, and many of them are heat-sensitive. Therefore, eating a raw food diet or a mostly raw diet will give you an abundance of phytochemicals — and this could prove to be one of the main benefits of this diet.
Some notable phytochemicals are to be found in:
The Cruciferous Family — including cabbage, kale, broccoli, etc. These vegetables contain a class of phytochemicals (called sulphoraphane and indole-3-carbinol) that are converted into cancer-fighting enzymes by the liver.
Berries — This includes pomegranate, cherries, blueberries, grapes etc. They contain many phytochemicals that increase immunity.
Citrus fruits — Those fruits contain many phytochemicals (close to the skin), in addition to lots of vitamin C, which is an antioxidant.
Pretty much every raw fruit and vegetable contains health-enhancing phytochemicals. Cooking food sometimes enhance the bio-availability of certain phytochemicals, like lycopene in tomatoes, but in general we get more benefits from eating foods in their raw state.
When we use bad arguments to promote a certain philosophy, it often leads us to make mistakes. Sometimes people oversimplify a health philosophy and refuse to look at new information on top of it all.
There are so many great reasons to eat more raw foods in your diet, I feel that being conscious about the reasons we give for them are important to gaining a better understanding of ourselves and our food!

It's no secret that besides the speed, the sound of Formula One racecar engines is one of the main attractors for the sport. The mind-numbing drone makes hearts race and energizes the crowd. But that may all change in 2014.
According to Wired, all teams will have to swap out their 2.4-liter V8 engines for turbocharged 1.6-liter V6 engines that max out around 15,000 RPM as opposed to the current 18,000 RPM. The lower RPM combined with the build of the V6 (one exhaust with a turbocharger) is what causes the diminished sound.
The Mercedes AMG Petronas YouTube Channel posted the video below with the caption: "This is a lap of the mythical Monza circuit with the new-for-2014 1.6 litre turbocharged V6 Formula One Power Unit. It's a new music - but a beautiful one, too. Enjoy :)." One commenter took shots by writing "My hairdryer has more grunt than that thing." Mercedes hilariously shut them down by saying, "Be careful when you blow dry - your head may be knocked off if that's true and not just a bit of hyperbole ;)."
Judge the new "music" for yourself:

The reason for this page is to offer you another means of generating revenue to participate in an SFOI event. The Melaleuca Company offers a simple means of accomplishing your revenue needs.
Melaleuca is an online store that sells household items plus health and beauty products at less cost and better quality than what you can purchase at the stores. Their products are the best that nature and science offer which means for instance their household items are not toxic.
To generate revenue you refer people to purchase their non-perishable household items plus health and beauty products from Melaleuca. Your revenue comes from the income that is normally paid to the stores where these items are purchases. The founder of Meleleuca, Frank VanderSloot explains where your revenue comes from in the third slide of the presentation below.
You can learn about Melaleuca and its products: Melaleuca Company and Products.
You can read a simple presentation of generating short term revenue: Melaleuca 10-19-15.
One more point to seek to make this enterprise simple:
1) What you would do every day is ask as many people as possible if they would support your mission trip buy purchasing their non-perishable household items and their health and beauty products from Melaleuca through you. That's it.
To summarize the income:
1) Based on Melaleuca's income estimates you could generate $1,000+ in 30 – 60 days by enrolling only 20 customers which could generate another $2,400 throughout the year. That's a total of $3,400+.
2) They would need to purchase $50 +/- or more in products from you each month but again they would receive more and better products for their money than by purchasing the same items at retail stores. In other words there is no extra cost for them as a Melaleuca customer. They are simply exchanging the store where they purchase their products.
3) Melaleuca ships the products directly to their houses and fully automates the purchases which means your customers can establish an ongoing monthly list of items to be sent to their homes so they don't have to take their time shopping for the items each month.
An example of income possibility given by a fellow evangelist who works with Melaleuca.
Finally, if you have questions or want to enroll please notify me via phone or email. You cannot enroll yourself. firstname.lastname@example.com 866-646-LOVE (5683) #1.

While NBC's hit reality weight-loss series, "The Biggest Loser," has hosted many celebrity guests over its 13 seasons, there's a huge reason why Richard Simmons has never been one of them: He can't stand the show's premise.
"I'm not into any show that makes people compete when they lose weight," Simmons told Men's Health. "I think the show has some merit and they do some good. But voting off people every week because they didn't lose enough weight, or giving somebody a car or money because they did lose weight? That's terrible."
Simmons, 63, claims that in the course of his fitness career he's helped humanity lose more than 12,000,000 pounds. During those 44 years, he says the biggest thing he's learned is that incentive through material goods just does not work.
"My father offered me a dollar for every pound I would lose as a kid," he says. "It didn't work. And it doesn't really work in the long run. Who are you competing against? It's you. You need to be doing this for you and only you. Not to win a car, not to stay at a fancy resort, not to get a treadmill or an elliptical for your home. The real pride, the real present, is your health and your longevity. My whole career I have never done anything where competition was involved with weight loss."
Simmons, who recently won the prestigious Jack LaLanne Lifetime Achievement Award, told Philly.com the secret to living well is to love yourself.
"For 40 years, my formula has been to love yourself, move your body, and to watch portion size. But the No. 1 thing is to love and value yourself, no matter what you've been through. People spend thousands in therapy digging and digging in the past. When you dig and dig, you find relics. Try to forgive yourself and get back on that ride. Ride, Sally, ride! (He begins to sing.) On this magic carpet ride!"

Brewer, whose 2005's "Hustle & Flow" garnered Terrence Howard an Academy Award nomination for best actor credited the social community aspect created through blogging as responsible for creating greater momentum for the film."I really believe a lot of the interest to get Terrence that nomination was generated online," said Brewer, whose latest project "Black Snake Moan" stars Samuel Jackson and Cristina Ricci. "It kept the movie alive."Greenfield, who is also an acclaimed photographer, said that the Internet has allowed her a channel of direct dialogue with her audience and a platform that she can control while Uhls, who with the other panelists examined the impact of an ever presence of information, acknowledged the growing trend for filmmakers to use the Internet as its own plot device.In terms of distribution, all four recognized the fear felt by studio executives from changing business models."The town is a little paralyzed right now," said Griffin, likening this period to the 1960s when the studio system was "in tatters" as he described it while Brewer pointed to what he referred to as the "Renaissance" period that came after that and the opportunities that lie ahead from the digital revolution."There's something oddly intimate about being on a plane and switching the way you're positioned to be able to watch a movie," said Brewer, about the different ways and places to access entertainment content these days. "We're in an evolutionary period now. There's going to be something so painfully fun but it's not going to be 'in a theater near you.'"Greenfield, whose first full-length documentary "Thin" examined the lives of four women suffering from anorexia and bulimia, said that in the case of smaller documentary films like hers, it's about using the technology to get your work out to the broadest audience."The other side of the fence is that it's also a time of great experimentation," said Greenfield, citing the purchase of her film by Virgin Airlines as an example of today's different modes of distribution. "When the airline bought my film, my mother was convinced they were trying to save money on food -- so there's a lot of different things being done out there."

MARRAKECH, Morocco — Dr. James Fletcher, a well-respected figure in global climate circles and former head of the CARICOM Task Force on Sustainable Development, has come out to bat for the Adaptation Fund, whose future under the Paris Agreement is being hotly contested.
"I think the Adaptation Fund should sit under the Paris Agreement. You see, the Adaptation Fund is very important because the Adaptation Fund is specifically for adaptation. The Green Climate Fund deals with both mitigation and adaptation and if you listen to some of the pledges that have been made, there is still a heavy bias towards mitigation," he said, from the international climate talks being held here.
"For us in the Caribbean, mitigation is important because mitigation will allow us to transform our economies, give us the energy security that we need. But as far as greenhouse gases are concerned, mitigation means nothing for the Caribbean. We contribute what, one quarter of one per cent of greenhouse gases?" he argued.
"So whilst from a moral perspective and also from an economic transformation perspective we are quite interested in mitigation and we want the mitigation funds to flow — particularly those mitigation funds that will give us access to grant or concessional financing, so some of our initiatives in geo-thermal and others can take place — the biggest issue for us is adaptation," he said.
Investment in adaptation will enhance the ability of Caribbean islands — which are especially vulnerable to climate change — to be ready for and recover from climate impacts, including sea-level rise and extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and droughts.
Already a number of Caribbean islands — among them Jamaica — have benefitted from the Adaptation Fund, which is helping to boost the resilience of the local agriculture and tourism sectors.
According to Fletcher, one needs not look very far for the evidence of the Caribbean's vulnerability and the need for the Adaptation Fund.
"We need to see there is money for adaptation for us to make our infrastructure more resilient, our health sector more resilient, our agriculture more resilient, our water sector more resilient. These are issues that are very pressing and every time we have a hurricane season, every time we have a drought season, it really brings home the fact that we are way behind time where adaptation measures are concerned," noted Fletcher, also the former minister for sustainable development for Saint Lucia, who is providing technical support for CARICOM at this year's international climate talks.
Recent years have seen the Adaptation Fund struggling to raise needed funds to support its projects, following the decline in resources from the sale of certified emissions reduction credits from Clean Development Mechanism projects.
Fortunately, countries have been dipping into their coffers, with the result that the fund has been able to continue to do its work. This year alone, it had a target to reach US$80 million and up to yesterday afternoon, the news was it had received pledges for up to US$81 million.
Meanwhile, the fund — which was operationalised in 2010 — enjoys the trust and esteem of developing countries that for the first time, through its establishment, were able to enjoy direct access to funding for their approved projects.
It also has a readiness programme that supports the capacity of countries to effectively design and implement projects while, as a matter of policy, emphacising civil society participation and the need for gender mainstreaming.

#1: go out and buy the most expensive and confusing weight loss kit you can. The more complex the better.
#2: subscribe to at least five healthy eating and fitness magazines. It's not a good magazine unless you feel deeply shamed about your own body. There also needs to be several ads about pills and plans.
#3: get a gym membership but don't actually go to the gym. You'll also need to purchase the least flattering and uncomfortable outfit possible.
#4: throw away all of your food that says the word "carb" in the ingredients list. You'll never taste a hamburger bun again.
#5: skip breakfast and lunch and only have a piece of lettuce for dinner. You'll know that you're on the right path once you feel starving 24/7.
Sound familiar? That's how I felt when I started my weight loss journey. I felt like I needed to give up everything I love about food. I felt like I needed to hit the gym everyday morning and evening. I felt horribly embarrassed by my body. I felt ashamed. I felt overwhelmed.
Let's admit it. We need to lose weight. We need to get healthy. But it's so hard to sift through all the marketing and discover how. Everyone wants to sell you something. Everyone has a plan that is guaranteed. Hint. It's all about the $$. Those plans only exist because someone thinks they can trick you into paying money.
You need to listen to the one person that matters in this journey. Yourself.
There are people out there who want to help and can help. But really it's you and your body that matter. What do you want to eat? Pizza? Go for it! Pizza isn't bad for you. Carbs aren't your enemy. Portion size is though. What you eat is less important than how much. Sure. You need fruits and vegetables and protein. It's what your body needs to survive. You need to move to feed your muscles and keep them active. Listen to your body. It knows what it wants. Chances are you put on the pounds because you just listened to the wrong voice.
I ate too much. I did it for a long time. I consumed on average five thousand calories a day. That's a lot. Way too much. I was addicted to eating. I lived everyday for that Thanksgiving full. I'd eat then I'd nap. Then I'd repeat that in the same day.
I support the app LoseIt because it's a healthy and genuine tool that teaches you how to listen to your body. It's not a gimmick. It's not a trick. Their free app is a great start to your weight loss. Shhh. Don't tell them but I lost the weight I did because of their free version. What you pay for is a deeper analysis of food intake and data. It's worth the money. But I want to make it clear that they aren't trying to trick you. Their paid version helps them pay the bills so they can keep offering their services.
So what are my real steps?
- #1: start tracking your food. When I started tracking with LoseIt I was amazed at how much I was overeating. I support LoseIt because I believe in them. They are good people who want to help others discover healthy habits. I've had the pleasure of talking with them during my journey and I trust them. They aren't in it for the money. If there's another app that works for you go for it. Tracking is a sustainable method of weight loss because it teaches you to listen to your body and discover the healthy habits that work for you.
- #2: find someone or something that inspires you. This can be as simple as a Facebook group. It's a healthy step to learn that you're not alone. Weight loss is a struggle and no one is perfect. I joined the LoseIt community on Facebook and they are some of the most uplifting and nice people I've found online. You'll need that inspiration to keep going.
- #3: stop eating so much processed food. Seriously. It is shelf stable because of all the crazy things they put into it. Why is that bowl of soup from Panera so good? Loads of sugar and salt. The better I got at cooking the better I got at eating. Eating "healthy" is a dirty phrase because it turns people away from food that is actually good. I hated kale at first but it's starting to get tolerable. Find what you like to eat and learn to make it at home. You can control portions and ingredients better. It takes time to retrain your taste buds.
- 4: go for a walk. I sat on the couch a lot. Once I started moving more I felt better. I didn't go for miles and miles. I walked around the block. Eventually I went further and longer. Eventually I added in more cardio and other fitness elements. I hate running so I don't do it. I love biking do I do it a lot. It took time to figure that out and build up stamina and strength .
- #5: be proud of yourself. You're making a big change in your lifestyle. It's hard to lose weight. You'll have set backs. You'll stall out at a weight for a while. You'll overindulge once in a while. Be proud of your progress and the work you're doing rather than feel defeated by a weekend or a snack. Start taking pictures of yourself too. It'll help you find motivation that isn't tied to the scale. If you can see your progress over time you'll continue to be inspired to work through the struggle.
Losing weight takes time. Be patient. It's frustrating that it takes so long but think of how long it took you to gain that weight.
I'm available to talk if you want my help. firstname.lastname@example.com

Janus kinases are cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases that mediate signaling from the cytokine receptors to the cell nucleus. Janus kinase 2 mutation (JAK2 V617F) analysis has been endorsed by the WHO for diagnosing polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia, and primary myelofibrosis. The aim of this study was to assess JAK2 V617F point mutation in healthy cigarette smokers compared with healthy nonsmokers and to correlate the presence of this mutation with some clinical and laboratory variables.
Group I comprised 34 cigarette smokers who have been smoking 10 or more cigarettes per day, every day of the week, for at least 10 consecutive years. Group II comprised 42 men who were nonsmokers with no history of drug abuse. In addition to routine laboratory investigations, detection of JAK2 V617F point mutation in peripheral blood neutrophils was assessed for all participants.
In this study, we found an increased percentage of JAK2 V617F mutation in cigarette smokers compared with nonsmokers. Further, we found a significant positive correlation between the percentage of JAK2 V617F mutation and age in both groups.
JAK2 V617F mutation has been detected in the healthy population; however, its incidence significantly increases in cigarette smokers. The mechanisms leading to excess JAK2 mutation and the importance of this mutation in smokers are yet to be elucidated and an adequate follow-up of healthy individuals who carry the mutation is recommended.

One Spring style I just can't ignore anymore is the lace-up Oxford. They are all the rage this Spring, they are meant to be worn bare-legged with shorts or dresses (J. Crew paired them with footies like the ones you use to try on shoes at the mall!), and...
No offense. But I hate them. They remind me of the late eighties. In fact, I think I had a pair in eighth grade and that was an awkward time fashion-wise and well, in every other way. So I'm having trouble with this trend.
That's not to say I can't be persuaded, or that I'll think badly of anyone who loves them. They're not totally offensive like harem pants. They're just... not my thing.
What do you think? Will you buy a pair and wear them with dresses and without socks? Or will you be skipping this trend, too?
Oh yeah, in full disclosure, I'm a compensated ShopStyle affiliate and for the record, I could almost get behind those brown leather heels. I said almost.

During July 1998 and January 1999 two salvage excavations were conducted at Rosh Zurim, in Gush 'Ezion (L-813, L-836; map ref. NIG 21150/61975; OIG 16150/11975), prior to enlarging the settlement. The excavations, on behalf of the Archaeological Staff Officer of Judea and Samaria, were directed by Y. Feller, assisted by P. Portnov (surveying and drafting), S. Ammami (photography), Y. Bar-Rashi (drawing) and V. Eshed (physical anthropology).
Three rock-cut burial caves, dating to the 1st century BCE, were excavated on the hill where the settlement is situated. They are part of the cemetery at Khirbat Beit Sakariya, located c. 0.6 km to the south (The Survey in Judea, Site 50, In: Judaea, Samaria and the Golan – Archaeological Survey 1967-1968, 1972).
Cave 1. A single rectangular niche in the bedrock (0.9 × 2.0 m, height 0.9 m; Fig. 1) was examined on the western slope of the hill. Signs of rock cutting for a square frame that was intended for a blocking stone were discerned in the tomb's entrance. The tomb was devoid of finds.
Cave 2. On the western slope of the hill, c. 40 m north of Cave 1, a burial cave that consisted of a single chamber was excavated (Fig. 2). A short corridor (length 0.56 m, width 1.68 m) led to the burial chamber and a single step descended from the cave's rectangular entrance (0.95 × 1.10 m) into the burial chamber (3.15 × 3.45 m, height 1.2–1.5 m) that had an arched ceiling. A hewn standing pit (0.80 × 1.35 m, depth 0.5 m) was in the middle of the chamber and three benches (average width 1.3 m) surrounded it. An oval-shaped repository (1.12 × 1.61 m, height 2.15 m) was cut in the chamber's northeastern corner and in the northwestern corner was a circular rock-cut recess (diam. 0.35 m, depth 0.12 m). Fragments of two fusiform juglets, dating to the 1st century BCE, were recovered from the cave. The repository and standing pit contained human bones that belonged to ten individuals, including eight adults, two of whom were identified as women and one as a man, and two children, 4 and 7–8 years of age.
Cave 3. On the northeastern slope of the hill was the third burial cave that also had a single burial chamber (Fig. 3). A long narrow corridor (length 5.12 m, width 0.83 m) with six steps led to the burial chamber; only its southwestern part near the chamber was roofed (height 0.90–1.25 m). The burial chamber (3.9 × 4.6 m, height 1.7 m) was rectangular and had a flat ceiling and floor. Three loculi were hewn in its walls, two in the northwestern wall and one in the southwestern wall; it seems that the quarrying of the loculi was never completed. A circular recess (diam. 0.5 m, depth 0.3 m) was cut in the western corner of the burial chamber. An opening (0.50 × 1.35 m) was quarried in the northeastern side of the chamber's ceiling, when the cave was no longer used for interments; it probably happened during the Mamluk period when the cave may have served for dwelling. A few pottery fragments from the 1st century BCE and the Mamluk period (12th–14th centuries CE) were discovered in the cave.

Dear Citavi,
I have a feature request.
When I write a quotation in Citavi, the original quotation may contain a reference to some other books or article.
Example in the attachment.
As you can see, the quotation from the reference connects to another reference (Byrne 1995), which I have there written in full.
What I would like is instead an hyperlink to the existing reference, so I can click over it and see what is the reference originally, without wasting time to type it, with all the misspellings as well as the fact that I have to quote fully.
Thanks for the reply,
P.S. It seems that I cannot attach any file to this email as board limits have been reached. I hope to have been cleared anyway.

Proganics Organic Whey provides over 23g protein as whey protein concentrate source from New Zealand, which is known as the best whey in the protein industry. Not many people probably stop to think about where their whey protein comes from, but knowing it comes from added-hormone-free, chemical-free, happy, healthy, free-roaming cows is much more pleasurable than the alternative. Organic Whey Protein concentrate is naturally abundant in the branched chain amino acids (BCAA's) Leucine, Isoleucine and valine and also the "anti-catabolic" nutrient Glutamine.

Proganics Organic Whey is probably one of the first proteins to carry the Australian Certified Organic Logo. This will appeal to many people as eating "organic" is becoming more and more popular as people become aware of food practices and the way it effects their nutrition. For many people whey protein is still the superior protein option so having an organic option as a more natural choice is definitely a pro.
As with anything out there with the "organic" label it is always a bit more expensive than the non-organic option and Proganics Organic Whey also falls into this category. However, like some like to say "you get what you pay for".
We love that we can offer a totally organic option for those that would prefer this. Proganics Organic Whey mixes well and tastes great and delivers the usual chocolate, vanilla and unflavoured options. We give this one a 4.6/5 afterall it is organic.

I hadn't heard much about this project, so I only took a few glances this afternoon. But when it was still going strong at 8pm I had to watch the trailer.
The INSIDE page on Facebook says:
Inside consists of film, videos and social media interactions. These pieces will live organically on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. But you can also see all highlights and films in one place at http://www.theinsideexperience.com/, as events happen.
Intel and Toshiba present a Social Film experience, from the director of "Disturbia," starring Emmy Rossum and You.
Christina is a tough, resilient, 24-year old girl. She's been trapped in a room. She has a laptop. And she needs your help to get out.
The website keeps going down (didn't they anticipate the traffic?)
From a glance, it seems like Facebook has been far more engaged that Twitter on a pure numbers basis, but there's still a lack of general buzz.
Just over 600 followers on Twitter. Really? (As of 8:30pm EST)
Christina's first activity was three days ago. I didn't hear about it until the first "episode" premiered today.
Conclusion: I love the idea, and I like the level of commitment they're putting into this, but why isn't there more of a following? Is it just early? The whole thing didn't seem to be advertised too much (I like to think I would've at least heard SOMETHING about it before now).
Why is it sponsored by Intel and Toshiba?

Who should be responsible for improvement in schools, and the education of children and young people in an area? We've always believed that teachers, support staff, lecturers, and leaders should be responsible for school improvement. So where should governors, and governing bodies, sit in this picture?
The education select committee is currently considering the thorny issue of school governance. The crisis in school governance has been widely reported – many schools find it hard to recruit good governors. While some of the proposed solutions – such as better training and more transparent recruitment – might be sensible in the short term, they don't answer certain key questions: what's the point of governing bodies, and how do they fit with teachers' responsibility and accountability?
Part of the problem is that governing bodies try to be all things. Major policy developments, such as changes to school status and proposals to devolve teachers' pay to individual schools, place a greater onus on governing bodies by making them accountable for legal and administrative issues. This makes it increasingly difficult to recruit good governors – who wants to be responsible for the complicated pay systems for a school's teachers?
Michael Wilshaw, Ofsted's chief inspector, wants governors to hold their schools to account: he's producing a School Data Dashboard to help governors get an overview of test results and attendance. But the Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL) wants governors to do more than stare at raw data.
What if governors could focus more on professional issues, supporting professional debate and development particularly around teaching and learning? Governors could help to design a curriculum relevant to their school's pupils and community: they could get involved with education staff when reflecting on the effectiveness of their teaching and learning; encourage debate on the impact of external factors like poverty, housing and employment on children's attainment. They could also ensure schools are accountable to their local communities by helping teachers to communicate what they do effectively.
What would help more governing bodies to do that? For a start, there needs to be trust, transparency and openness between governors themselves, and between governors, school staff and leaders. Trust and openness can be compromised when schools are forced into difficult decisions about academy status, and are rarely given time and support to develop through focused training.
Even when governors are given training, this often focuses too much on administration, legal responsibilities and duties, and understanding attainment data. While those are important, there is too little instruction about the ways governing bodies can reflect on the school's – or their own – effectiveness beyond the raw data. Wouldn't it be wonderful if governing bodies spent time with school staff discussing what's important in children's learning, the employment opportunities available locally, or the challenges young people face, and built action plans together on those issues?
We need a form of local governance – an area governing body – that supports developments in education and ensures a good education for all pupils in the area. This governance would offer a strategic overview and vision for teaching and learning in the local area, and support decision-making including in admissions and exclusions, courses and resources, community cohesion and wellbeing, equality and diversity. It should include all schools and colleges in the area – academies, free schools, faith schools and maintained schools – and should work with the local authority to develop mechanisms to plan, work and learn together.
The area governing body should include governors with expertise in finance, administration, employment and law that can be shared locally. It should also include: teachers and educational professionals; representatives from the local authority, including wider children's services and careers guidance; trade unions; community leaders; parents; local employers; universities; voluntary organisations and other organisations with a strong local presence.
This all sounds like a lot of work and responsibility for governors to take on when there is already a recruitment crisis. But it gives an opportunity to make individual school governing bodies smaller and more focused on acting as critical friends. Placing the complex, technical roles with area governing bodies means that schools won't need experts in employment law, finance, building regulations, health and safety on their own governing body.
There would be a lot of detail to work out. How do you make sure you don't need twice as many meetings? What should be the relationship between an area governing body and the local authority, or academy chains? What should be the relationship between a school governing body and wider local governance, and what happens when interests conflict? But wouldn't it be great to have a body of interested individuals, with expertise in a range of issues, supporting and challenging professionals to do the best they can for the children in their local area? And having such a crowd shouting about our achievements, loudly and often, wouldn't do us any harm either.

Travolution@WTM-All Good Things Must Come to an End
Well bloggers, the Travolution conference at World Travel Market finally wrapped up yesterday, after two-days of star-studded performances by leading experts in the online travel world.
True, there wasn't any singing or dancing (well, at least not until we all got to the pub), but there were some heated debates about what the future will hold for online travel.
Nancy Lyndhurst, product manager for travel, O2, said website owners need to produce simplified, mobile-friendly sites if phones and PDAs are to take off as a method for booking travel.
Several panellists theorised about how long tailing will change the search process and price point.
Is cost-per-click dead? Maybe, maybe not, but site owners must be willing to pay to get their brand noticed.
"As soon as Google doesn't find you slowly die," warned Adam Freeman, deputy commercial director, Guardian News & Media.
Not surprisingly, the final discussions of the conference turned to the importance of social networking and user generated content, and the impact these will have on the online space--a recurring theme throughout the two-day event.
"I'm incredibly jealous of TripAdvisor," Graham Donoghue of TUI, exclaimed during the closing session. "The more we trust the customer, the better off we'll be."
Freeman agreed, "You need to share your space with consumers and re-think control. As long as customers come back to you as a source of information, then you will be OK".
Delegates from Gail Kenny Executive Search, which hosted the closing soiree, asked panellists how they are dealing with the current talent shortage.
Most panellists said they were resorting to kidnapping.
No, they didn't really, but admitted that it's an issue.
Finding talented people will probably be more of an issue now that the Democrats have won back control of the American Congress and Donald Rumsfeld has at last resigned.
That is to say all the Silicon Valley wiz kids who have been hiding out in Britain for the past few years, can now safely return home.
Don't worry though, we'll be back for next year's conference.

Somehow I knew about them before I arrived in Japan. But I was beginning to realise it was the small ones that I should be wary of. The big ugly black ones, that you could clearly see inching along the roadside, were much too heavy to scurry up surfaces. The charming little red ones however, would suddenly appear on the wall behind the customer you were with. I would jerk and point, though only my fellow foreigners seemed to cringe at the shocking sight.
godless month . . .
I dream of riding a horse
into my childhood home,
all the family waiting
and expectant
We foreign girls started sleeping with the light on. It seemed the only solution. I was not going to lie in that top bunk with red cockroaches running around my head. Japan was not going to beat me. I needed the money, and anyway, I wanted to hide from real life for a while.
between snowfalls . . .
I wasn't meant to
find a love like this,
my slight resistance
not lost beneath languages

In a divorce case, many people are under the misconception that if one party lives in Florida for at least six months then he/she can get divorced in Florida. While there is a six month residency requirement to become divorced in Florida, that only allows Florida to have subject matter jurisdiction of the case. Florida also needs to have personal jurisdiction of both parties, which means that the opposing party must have some contact with the state of Florida. While a party may still get a divorce in Florida, the Florida court does not have jurisdiction to equitably divide property or order child support without personal jurisdiction. Jurisdiction is a very complicated issue and you should consult an experienced family law attorney for more information.
I've met with several people who have relocated to Florida and lived in Florida for six months just so they can get divorced in Florida, and they are always disappointed to find out that Florida lacks personal jurisdiction over the other party and therefore they aren't entitled to the distribution of the assets and debts.
Jurisdiction regarding a paternity action is different. A non-resident submits himself to the jurisdiction of the state of Florida by engaging in the act of sexual intercourse within the state of Florida with respect to which a child may have been conceived. However in Paternity cases, jurisdiction is a difficult topic that must be discussed with an experienced paternity and family law attorney.
Like jurisdiction, venue is also a difficult subject. Venue relates to which circuit in the state of Florida a cause of action should be brought, and venue depends on the type of case filed and the location of the parties. Before filing a Florida divorce, paternity or any family law case, be sure to talk to an experienced Tampa divorce attorney to ensure that Florida has jurisdiction over both the subject matter of the case and personal jurisdiction of the other party of the case; and be sure to inquire of your attorney which venue would be appropriate in your case.

'Disappointed' over Fiji's rejection of Australian body guards
MELBOURNE, Australia (Radio Australia, May 19, 2008) – Australia's ambassador to Fiji says he is "deeply disappointed" the interim government has rejected his request for Australian police protection in the wake of death threats.
James Bately says he is now urging Suva to beef up his security, after he received two death threats in two weeks amid strained relations between the two countries.
A detailed statement on the threats is expected from Police Commissioner Esala Teleni later today.
A police spokesman told the Fiji Sun security has already been stepped up at the homes of all diplomats.
Australia has been one of the most outspoken critics of military chief Frank Bainimarama's regime since the elected government was toppled in a bloodless coup in December 2006.

Run/ Walk/ Bike/ Elliptical (Today: 0.00 miles; Running Total: 109.9 miles)
Day 174 of *Another* 100 Days of Good Karma.
I spent the day getting ready for chemo on Friday. As much as I can get ready for it anyway.
I cleaned the house. The kids pitched in, though they played more than they cleaned.
Every time I passed by a mirror I stopped to admire my eyebrows. I swear, seeing them grow back is better than Christmas.
Speaking of Christmas, we took down the decorations. The tree needles have been vacuumed up and the tree is ready for bulk trash pick up day.
Laundry is done, though not folded. It's sitting in a heap on the couch.
I feel like I'm saying goodbye to normal life. I appreciate the little things more this morning.
The taste of coffee. The energy to clean. The ability to sit up.
I want it over with but at the same time, I never want to go back again.
Justin cooked dinner. While standing over the stove he poured a glass of wine.
I eyed it jealously.
He sipped it and said, "It's motivation." Then he had the nerve to wink.
Damn him.
God I hate chemo.
Today's silver lining: Last one.
What's your silver lining today? I love comments!
Don't want to leave a comment, but have something you want to share? Send me an email at gettingthewordswrong(at)gmail(dot)com.
I'm still reading your daily posts and I'm still holding you in prayer. I love your courage and your willingness to put yourself out in blogland for us to learn more about the challenges of fighting breast cancer. As I write this comment, I think you are in your last chemo treatment. I know you will be tired and dragging for the next few days. BTW, thanks for the radiation treatment protocol you posted yesterday. Keep on keeping on. No, you aren't sick – you have cancer and you are fighting it in style. Love your writing style, too. Take care.
I'm keeping you in my prayers, especially today for your last chemo treatment. May the next few days be very kind to you.
Thinking of you, Meg! Last chemo. LAST CHEMO!
I'm thinking of you with your last chemo too. You're in the home stretch!
A word on radiation, Dad found it easier than chemo. Hopefully you will too.
Cheers to your eye brows growing back!

Consumer Reports has no financial relationship with any advertisers on this site.
In the United States, it's standard practice to prescribe powerful opioid painkillers such as oxycodone (OxyContin and generic) and hydrocodone (Vicodin and generic) to manage discomfort during recovery from a Caesarean section.
According to Marvin M. Lipman, Consumer Reports' chief medical adviser, opioids can be effective for such acute post-surgical pain but must be used with great care.
Three studies recently published in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology suggest that after a C-section, women may go home from the hospital with far more opioid pills than needed. That's concerning, researchers say.
"These are addictive medications," says Brian Bateman, chief of obstetric anesthesia at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston and lead author of two of the three studies. "For some patients, being exposed, even in the setting of appropriate treatment for pain, may precipitate an affinity for the drug that leads to subsequent chronic use and even abuse." In 2015, about 11,000 Americans died of overdoses of prescription opioids, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
When Bateman's team surveyed 615 women who had filled opioid prescriptions after a C-section, they found that about 84 percent of the new mothers had leftovers.
Most used only about half of the painkillers they were prescribed. But those who received more pills tended to use more pills. For example, women who were prescribed fewer than 30 pills took only about 15, and women prescribed 40 pills took about 32. (Most prescriptions were for five-milligram painkillers.) This potentially heightens their risk of addiction.
What's also worrisome is that 95 percent of the survey subjects who had leftover pills kept them instead of disposing of them. A second study in Obstetrics & Gynecology, this one from Vanderbilt University, detected a similar pattern. When those researchers looked at opioid use in 179 women who had had C-sections, they found that three-fourths of those who filled prescriptions had leftover pills. The vast majority kept their leftovers, and 63 percent stored them in an unlocked location.
Having opioids in the house increases the likelihood they might be ingested by someone else. "This is leading to excess pills in the community, which are subject to misuse," says Chad Brummett, director of pain research at the University of Michigan Medical School.
A short patient-doctor conversation may be helpful, according to a third study published in Obstetrics & Gynecology. Here, Bateman's team looked at what happened when 50 women who had had a C-section at Massachusetts General Hospital talked with their doctors before discharge about expected pain levels during at-home recovery, how much opioid medication they might need, the drugs' benefits and risks, and more. These women asked for about 50 percent fewer pills than the 40 usually prescribed to C-section patients at that hospital.
If you are considering an opioid during C-section recovery, take these steps:
● Go home with fewer pills. Create a pain-management strategy with your doctor before you have a planned C-section. If it's unplanned, "have a conversation with your doctor before you leave the hospital about managing your pain at home," says Orly Avitzur, Consumer Reports' medical director.
● Take opioids short-term only. According to the CDC, most people can transition to non-opioid painkillers just three days after surgery. Few need to take opioids for more than a week.
● Dispose of extra pills properly. During the time you're using opioids, store them safely, preferably locked away. Afterward, take leftovers to an authorized drug-take-back site. These are often in pharmacies, hospitals and police departments. The Drug Enforcement Administration runs take-back programs twice per year.
● Get the most benefit from over-the-counter drugs. For example, Lipman says, acetaminophen (Tylenol and generic) may be used in tandem with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB and generic) or naproxen (Aleve and generic) under a doctor's supervision.

There are many stories among storytellers about lost Spanish Jesuit Missions in the Apacheria. The Apacheria included lands above and below the Gila River. The Jesuits established many missions and vistas in the Pimeria Alta. The church missions were permanent settlement sites and were assigned a padre or priest. The vistas were temporary sites where priests could conduct marriages, baptisms and other religious ceremonies among their congregants.
Padre Eusebio Francisco Kino arrived on the "Rim of Christendom" on March 13, 1687, when he entered Cucurpe in the San Miguel Valley of Sonora. He established his first mission at Cosari northeast of Arizpe, Sonora. The Jesuits are credited with the mission building in northern Sonora and in the lands south of the Gila River.
The Pimeria Alta included the northern portion of the Mexican state of Sonora and the lands south of the Gila River that later became part of the Gadsden Purchase after the Mexican-American War of 1848. The Jesuits had no missions or visitas north of the Gila River.
Many Mexican and Pima families lived along the San Pedro and Santa Cruz in the early 1800s, and there were several small farming communities along the San Pedro, Santa Cruz and Gila Rivers by 1825. Mexican families did some prospecting and limited mining in the mountains and valleys north of the Gila River, but historical records indicate no missions were created or established north of the Gila River until after 1853 and those were not Spanish in origin.
Since childhood, I have heard stories about an old Spanish mission near Superstition Mountain. The storytellers claim the mission was located near the old Burns Ranch, just off Peralta Road, seven miles east of Highway 60. Some claimed old Henry Burns found the mission treasure and buried it near his place. He and his wife, Helen, had squatted on this land just off Peralta Road for many years.
Old Henry claimed the mission existed and the priest had a very rich gold mine in the Superstition Mountains. Henry and his wife were also friends of UFO aliens who often visited them and offered to take them to another world anytime they were willing to go. Henry eventually died; however, Helen remained on the property.
Sometime in the late 1960s, Robert "Crazy Jake" Jacobs showed up on the scene, claiming there was a church mission located near the Burns Ranch property. Crazy Jake drove out to the property to visit Helen and to pick up some of his stuff. While there, Helen decided to commit suicide. She shot herself in the head. Ironic as it may seem, my wife's uncle was the medical examiner who did the autopsy on Helen Burns and cleared Jake of any wrong-doing.
Robert L. "Bob" Ward was a friend of the Burns. He told the story of how he examined much of Henry Burns' Jesuit church treasure. He said all the gold was authentic and he estimated Henry had about ninety pounds of gold bullion, crosses and artifacts, all stamped with the Jesuit cross.
Ward often talked about the nearby Jesuit church and the site where the church bell was found on Queen Creek. He said the bell was marked with the name of the church, but could never recall what it was. Ironically, old Bob Garman took me out to the old church site about a mile southwest of the Burns Ranch and also over to Queen Creek to see the site where the church bell was found. Bob had an old yellowish Jeep Station Wagon and had transported Bob Ward on many excursions into the area.
The church bell was found about one thousand yards from where the so-called Stone Maps were dug up around 1949.
The next occupant of the Burns Ranch was Charles M. Crawford. He was convinced the old church was a large gold mining operation, and he knew exactly where the Spaniards dug their gold. He said he had staked out claims on the spot, and his mine would soon be paying big dividends for his investors. He and Bob Ward both pointed out the gold molds near Borrego Mountain (Black Mountain), south of the mission site about four miles along the West Fence Line road.
Ward took me down to examine the grind holes. They were nothing but grind holes used by the early Native Americans to crush beans and seeds from the desert for food. These holes were far too big to cast gold ingots in. The holes were ten inches in diameter and twelve inches deep. An ingot from one of these holes would weigh between 600 – 1000 lbs. I have seen these grind holes all over the Southwest.
Gold is usually cast in sand molds, not molds out of solid rock. These men linked together many sites that fit the stories they told. There are few treasure hunters who believed the Jesuits had a mission and a gold mine in the Superstition Mountains.
All of these sites are used to promote belief in the Jesuit treasure story in this area. There is the mission church site, gold ingot casting site, the bell site on Queen Creek and nearby, the site where the Peralta Stone Maps were. The "Believers" point to these sites, claiming they prove the Jesuits priests were here mining gold and processing gold and silver for the church. Their imagination has run off with their minds and common sense no longer prevails.
I have here presented the very subjective evidence storytellers use to support the story of a Jesuit mission located near Superstition Mountain, where the priests had Native Americans working eight gold mines in the area. The alleged gold was buried near the mission when the Jesuit priests were expulsed from the new world in 1757.
Many people believe this story and totally ignore the history and the facts associated with the Jesuits in the Southwest. Several years ago I took a photo of two Jesuit priests at First Water. I asked them what they were doing, and they said they took a group of young people from their church on a hike into Brush Corral. The hard-core church treasure believing crew immediately started a story that claimed the Jesuits were using the children to pack out the church treasure buried in the Superstition Mountains.
Well, readers, this story goes on and on. Don't invest your hard earned dollars in Jesuit treasures in the Superstition Mountains, because you have lost them if you do.

I'll be honest...I haven't really been following America's Cup that closely this summer, but when I went out to cheer on Team USA last weekend, I realized what all the buzz was about. It is actually pretty exhilarating watching these massive catamarans glide by so fast! And you have the beautiful San Francisco Bay as the racecourse which isn't half bad. I love that they've set up bleachers in the Marina where you can leisurely watch for free...especially since the seats seemed a bit pricey for someone who isn't a diehard fan! Sports like sailing remind me of watching rowing at the Henley Regatta in England...very chic & elite. Although I didn't quite know what was going on, I felt completely comfortable amongst a crowd of people who obviously weren't massively into it either. I was cheering for Team USA, and that's all that counts, right?
Americas Cup is only going on for another week or so, so I'd definitely recommend heading down on a weekend to check it out. Maybe bring a bottle of bubbly and set up shop on the beach...could turn into a fabulous afternoon out!
