The Commission on Dietary Supplement Labels -- established by Congress in the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 and appointed by President Clinton -- has transmitted its final report to the President, the Congress, and the Secretary of Health and Human Services. The seven-member Commission examined a number of issues associated with labeling of dietary supplements. The report completes the duties of the Commission as assigned in its charter of February 1996.
As requested, the Commission conducted a study on and is providing recommendations for the regulation of label claims and statements for dietary supplements, including the use of literature in connection with the sale of dietary supplements and procedures for the evaluation of such claims. To accomplish its task, the Commission obtained advice from individuals, consumer organizations, the dietary supplement industry, and scientific organizations through written submissions and a series of public meetings throughout the United States. A preliminary report was released for public comment in June 1997. The final report reflects the consideration of materials, documents, and opinions submitted to the Commission during its deliberations.
The report contains the Commission's recommendations for regulations and provides guidance to government agencies and the dietary supplement industry relative to safety, label statements, health claims, substantiation of claims, and botanical supplements. The report emphasizes the need for public access to the evidence on which label statements are based so that consumers can make informed decisions about the use of dietary supplements.
Although the Commission operated independently from any policy guidance from the Department of Health and Human Services, staff support was provided by the Department through the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion.
The printed report is available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, for $12.00 (shipping included). The Stock Number is 017-001-00531-2. To order, call 202-512-1800.

Press photo from the Unofficial Dot Allison website.
Note: This review originally appeared in the Illinois Entertainer in 2002.
Dot Allison is a space age one-woman band, creating layers of music via keyboards, guitars, and glockenspiel. Her dreamy vocals are significant since the bubbly synthesizer grooves on her latest release, We Are Science, have been around since Depeche Mode and Soft Cell in the 1980s. While she may not be an innovator, Dot Allison is certainly an intriguing performer.
"We're Only Science," a predominantly instrumental dance track, finds her chanting the title over a primitive beat and closing with the ominous line, "Look into my eyes for the last time." The percolating synthesizers and drums of "Substance" conjure a futuristic universe, while Allison's breathless vocals on "You Can Be Replaced" are couched in a more straightforward ballad format.
The hard-hitting "Strung Out (David Fridmann single mix)" and the sparse, acoustic track "Wishing Stone" are daring experiments that keep We Are Science from becoming repetitive. The irresistible melody and slightly sinister lyrics of "Make It Happen" prove Dot Allison's talents extend beyond the dance floor.

Greenwich's McHale invited to Saints mini-camp
Recommended Video:
Former Greenwich High School football player Will McHale has been invited to a New Orleans Saints mini-camp from May 10-12 after completing his career at Yale.
"It's awesome and all you can hope for," McHale said. "I felt like I would get a tryout and was thinking it may be the Saints because I spoke with their regional scout after the pro day."
McHale was not drafted or signed as a free agent but was invited for a tryout by New Orleans.
McHale finished with 78 tackles while starting every game for the Bulldogs this past season. McHale finished his career with 211 tackles.
A three-year starter, McHale earned All-Ivy League honors on the field in 2011 and academic All-Ivy accolades as a senior.
The Yale coaches named him as the Hammer Award winner and the Robert Gardner Anderson Award recipient as a junior and senior respectively.
The former Cardinal finished his career with three interceptions and five sacks.
McHale said having teammates who went through the tryout process the last few years has been beneficial, as has playing for two different coaches at Yale.
"It has been hugely beneficial having guys go through the process before and being able to give me the rundown," McHale said. "I think playing for two different coaching staffs in my time at Yale will also benefit me in terms of learning defenses."
McHale was a member of Greenwich's 2006 and 2007 FCIAC and Class LL championship teams and entered Yale with an impressive pedigree with his late grandfather John and his father John were both linebackers at Notre Dame.
Neither his grandfather or father ever got a shot at the NFL and McHale says his father is just as excited as he is.
"It's great having both my grandfather and father play at Notre Dame and being able to continue that tradition," he said. "I got (NFL tryout) on my dad."
Three weeks before the Cardinals kicked off their 2008 campaign, McHale tore his anterior cruciate ligament in a seven-on-seven passing tournament, ending his senior season before it started.
Greenwich Head Coach Rich Albonizio knew McHale would be back on the field even if it was not at Cardinal Stadium.
"He's a special person and a special athlete," Albonizio said. "He is very bright, works hard and has grown so much at Yale. He was hurt his senior season for us and had to recover from knee surgery and I knew he had the work ethic and ability to succeed and I am really proud of him."

- Look for a larger, plump, alert Bearded Dragon. Don't buy a Bearded Dragon unless it is at least 6 weeks old and at least 6 inches in length. Younger Bearded Dragon babies are very cute, but they have a greater chance of becoming ill or dying. They can also suddenly stop eating and may have to be force fed.
- Look closely at the Bearded Dragon's limbs, tail, and toes to make sure they are not swollen or broken. Broken bones may be a sign of metabolic bone disease. Also, limbs and toes that twitch or tremble are a sign of metabolic bone disease.
- Make sure the Bearded Dragon is active and alert and is eating regularly on a proper diet.
- Make sure it has clear and bright eyes that are NOT sunken in. Sunken eyes are a sign of dehydration, and the animal may be near death.
- Look for fullness in the limbs and tail especially in the base. Make sure you cannot see the tail or hip bones. Lizards store fat in their tails.
- They should have healthy clean skin with no lesions.
- Watch the bearded dragon run around and make sure he/she is using all of the limbs and not limping or stumbling. Look for any deformities. A missing toes and tips of the tails is not a big deal if it has healed properly. These injuries usually happen from nips from cage mates or improper shedding.
- Look at the enclosure the bearded dragon has been kept in to make sure it is clean and the food is fresh. Make sure the bearded dragon has gotten proper expose to UVB light and has been given calcium supplements. Ask questions about how the bearded dragon and the cared it received.
- DO NOT purchase a Bearded Dragon if it is skinny, listless, or the eyes are sunken in.
- When you bring a new bearded dragon home it is normal for him/her to be nervous and timid for the first few days. He/she may not eat well for the 2-3 days. They usually warm up to you quickly though and get used to getting handled. Do not purchase an aggressive bearded dragon who bites or puffs up or always has a black beard.

Signs of a Healthy Bearded Dragon
*Female Bearded Dragon FOUND a New Home*
This healthy female bearded dragon is in need of a new home. She hatched in the summer of 2008 and is missing 2 toes from a bite from a sibling as a baby. She is a great eater, gets along with other females (although she should be fed separately to ensure every beardie gets enough to eat), and is easy to handle. She has been around children and would make a great pet for a someone knowledgeable about bearded dragons. She is located in Massachusetts. Please contact me if you're interested. Thank you.

Hypo vs. Het Hypo
HYPO (Hypomelanistic or hypomelanism)
Hypo bearded dragons are the offspring of two hypomelanism parents. "Hypo" means less, and melanism refers to the pigment in skin. Hypo bearded dragons have reduced melanin resulting in less brown/black coloring with 100% clear nails and a lighter appearance.
Hypo Red Tiger Female
HET HYPO (Heterozygous for Hypo)
Het Hypos carry the hypo gene but do not show it. They have dark nails and darker pigment similar to normal bearded dragons; however, tend to show color better and are lighter when compared to a normal bearded dragon. Breeding a het hypo with a 100% hypo should produce in approximately 50% hypos and 50% het hypos. I'm hoping to mate the above hypo female with the below het hypo male in late 2016 and am looking forward to the results!
Het Hypo "Rainbow Tiger" (Red Hypo x Citrus tiger) Male
Red Hypo Tiger
Available Bearded Dragon*** Found a home
Male citrus tiger Bearded Dragon needs a new home. He is about three years old, healthy, and tame. He comes with a 46 gallon bow front aquarium with storage stand, 10.0 UVB light, heat light, lamps, bowl, and accessories.
Must pick up in Northboro, MA. The tank stand most likely will not fit in a car. If interested, email firstname.lastname@example.com

Neo 1973 GPS
From Openmoko
The Neo1973 device contains an integrated GPS. The particular device is marketed as an AGPS, and there is some discussion available as to what significance that "A" might have.
Note that the GTA02 device (not yet available) contains a different GPS chip (see http://www.u-blox.com/products/atr0635.html and/or http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/product_card.asp?part_id=3932 for specs).
All purchased phones do not include the GPS binary driver. [1]
In the very early shipment to 50 Phase 1 developers, a binary-only program for talking to the the GPS was accidentally included in /home/root/DM2/gps, (and presumably, the same binary would function on a P0 device). This binary is called gllin and it is a oabi binary, i.e. it will only work in the 2007.1 OpenMoko environment. There is now a eabi binary, which works with 2007.2, but it does not work very well and has not been released yet (as of end of September).
There is an ongoing effort to write a Free Software program that could be used instead of this binary-only program.
See Hammerhead/Protocol for details and the latest status.
Some scripts for those with the binary are on Manually_using_GPS
GTA01 GPS driver (gllin)
The GPS driver is availiabel here: http://3rdparty.downloads.openmoko.org/gllin/
And here the Mail from Michael Shiloh http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2007-November/011916.html
Possible GPS programs
As people develop more sophisticated GPS applications, please note them here.
Here are some ideas for possibilities:
- Cairo-based mapping
- Routing
- Openstreetmap a map viewer, annotation, and editing system.
- Pyroute is a routing program written in Python by Ojw, and a mobile phone GUI for maps, GPS, and routing.
- GPS-Trail a simple trail logger.
- roadmap mapping system using freely available maps (US census TIGER, DGLib, shapefiles).
- Geocaching paper chase for advanced users
- Set Profile (Mute, etc.) to coordinates (ex. At work)
- qpegps qtopia (arm PDA) based map viewer with gps features
- Navit a car navigation system with routing engine.
- QMapControl Qtopia based mapping widget. Displays maps and custom data, also other widgets can be bound to coordinates. GPS parser for the gllin output included.
- collection of ideas
Using the Neo's GPS on a Laptop
- First be sure you have gllin installed on the Neo.
- On host type: nc -vvn -l -p 5000 > /tmp/nmeaNP
- On the Neo type: nc 192.168.0.200 5000 < /tmp/nmeaNP
- On the host PC install GPSD, your GPS is attached as /tmp/nmeaNP
- start gpsd on host with: gpsd -p /tmp/nmeaNP
- run your application! I used gpsdrive and it works better than my stand-alone GPS.
- Tested with RoadNav.Works great!
- With this in mind if you have an unlimited data package you could export this over the internet.
- the possibilities are limitless.

All the world's a stage for Seymour musician
and animals her audience
All the world's a stage for Seymour musician
and animals her audience
All the world's a stage for Seymour musician
and animals her audience
All the world's a stage for Seymour musician
and animals her audience
All the world's a stage for Seymour musician
and animals her audience
by Bob McEowen
Dressed in vibrant
purple from the Western hat atop her flowing blonde hair to the purple
tights tucked into her white cowboy boots, Bettine Clemen steps outside
of her ridge-top home south of Seymour and walks through beautifully
manicured gardens.
With a Great Pyrenees
named Orbit in tow, she slips effortlessly between strands of fence
wire and enters a horse pasture to greet her animals. After offering
a quick apple snack, Bettine raises an American Indian flute to her
lips and begins to play a melody for two horses and a donkey.
The animals draw
near, bumping and nuzzling Bettine. Its not clear whether theyre
more interested in the music or another snack but the German-born musician
is convinced they are responding to the sound.
They like
it. They really do, Bettine says with a thick accent that leaves
no doubt to her Bavarian roots.
Besides these equines and a pot-bellied pig named Harry Trotter, which
adopted Bettine and her husband, Peter Longley, this Se-Ma-No Electric
Cooperative member has also played flute for animals across the globe.
A classically trained
musician, Bettine has played for elephants in Sri Lanka, penguins in
Argentina and even a Komodo dragon in Indonesia. Once she performed
for a 220-year old tortoise on the island of St. Helena, where she imagines
the reptile might have known the exiled Napoleon. He would have
known all the inside stories but he didnt tell me, she says.
Bettine includes
videos of her animal concerts as well as impromptu performances
for children in her act, creating a multi-media experience that
she says brings her human audiences closer to nature and animals.
What I try
to get across is that we have this incredibly beautiful planet and were
all interconnected. Somehow the animals and the children express that,
she says.
Although Bettine
has been formally incorporating performances for animals into her concerts
for about seven years, the practice dates much earlier. The child of
a Shakespearean scholar father and an archeologist mother who she describes
as distant, Bettine sought companionship from animals.
My first,
closest friends were ponies, she says. When I was 6 years
old and started playing recorder, I played my first concerts for my
Recorder gave way
to flute and Bettine earned a masters degree from the Academy
of Music in Munich. She performed as a soloist with the Munich Bach
Orchestra and the Salzburg Mozarteum Orchestra before turning away from
the concert halls of Europe.
Bettine decided
to fulfill a life-long dream to travel and joined an orchestra in Brazil.
Bettine toured the countryside, taking in the sights and sounds. These
experiences began to shape her beliefs about the connection between
man and nature and expanded her music beyond traditional classical sounds.
With dozens of CDs
to her credit, Bettines music runs the gamut from classical to
folk to world music. No
longer bound by the rigid confines of the orchestra, Bettine began performing
as a solo artist on luxury cruise ships. While appearing on the Queen
Elizabeth 2 she met Peter, the ships cruise director. She married
the English-born author and lecturer in 1993.
In December 1999,
the Longleys moved to the Ozarks. Bettine visited the Seymour area at
the invitation of a friend and, upon her return, announced to her husband
she had purchased five acres of pasture and they would soon be moving.
Today the couple
makes their home in Webster County on 31 acres covered with gardens
and orchards. Peter, who once managed an Irish estate, cares for the
land and home, serves on the local arts council and writes novels. Bettine
travels six months a year, performing in concert halls and on ships
bound for Argentina, South Africa, Singapore and other exotic destinations.
While passengers
spend port calls shopping or sightseeing, Bettine seeks local wildlife
and plays her flute for the animals.
I go out in
nature and I meet the animals of the particular country, like kangaroos
in Australia, she says. Recently, for the first time in
my life, I played for bears, brown bears in Alaska. That was awesome.
My heart was pounding.
Bettine says her
animal audiences seem to enjoy the experience, which she describes as
a co-creation.
I try to play
very gently at first so I dont shock them or disturb them. Many
times they come right up and listen, she says. Some animals,
like dolphins, like the higher sounds so I play the piccolo for them.
The elephants like the Tibetan flute for some reason.
As for the Komodo
dragon, Bettine says he preferred Irish jigs.
He didnt
eat me and I took that for a compliment, she says.
Accompanied by the
ships photographer or occasionally a film crew, Bettine records
her unscheduled performances and shows the footage while performing
concerts. She has also released two videos, Bettine, Pied Piper
of the Planet and Bettine and the Magic of Petra,
which both feature her animal concerts.
Besides solo orchestra
performances and her cruise ship concerts, in which she plays up to
nine different flutes, Bettine teaches a personal development course
and has written a book, Open Your Ears to Love, which recounts
some of her life experiences.
Although Bettines
music and her multi-media presentations have been embraced by animal
rights groups and a few of her CDs are categorized as New Age,
she says her message of connection with nature should appeal to all
I feel we
have to be very much present in the world and live life in the mainstream,
she says. But it doesnt hurt to bring a little bit more
spirituality into our daily life.

Microfluidic systems have gained popularity in the last two decades for their potential applications in manipulating micro- and nano- particulates of interest. Several different microfluidics devices have been built capable of rapidly probing, sorting, and trapping analytes of interest. Microfluidics can be combined with separation science to address challenges of obtaining a concentrated and pure distinct analyte from mixtures of increasingly similar entities. Many of these techniques have been developed to assess biological analytes of interest; one of which is dielectrophoresis (DEP), a force which acts on polarizable analytes in the presence of a non-uniform electric fields.

You probably don't interact with your PC's BIOS (Basic Input/Output Operating System) much, but it occupies a unique and highly privileged position in your computer's architecture.
Since the BIOS loads before the operating system--and before you enter your user credentials--malware surreptitiously introduced into the BIOS could activate itself long before any anti-malware software has an opportunity to detect it. A sophisticated and malicious program operating at such a low level could take control of your PC without providing a clue that it was there.
And fortunately, there have been very few confirmed cases of malware infections at the BIOS level. The most famous is 1998's Chernobyl virus, and the vulnerabilities that enabled that exploit are not present in new PCs. UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) and the secure boot mechanism in Windows 8 will make this less of an issue, but that's a topic for another article.
But it's always better to be safe than sorry. The first step in your safety plan is to protect your BIOS with an administrator password that must be entered before a BIOS update can occur. We'll show you how.
Step 1:Boot or reboot your PC. While it's starting up, repeatedly tap the 'DEL,' 'F1,' or whatever other special key is required to launch the BIOS. This information is typically displayed onscreen during the boot process, although it might not be immediately obvious. This text, for instance, appears verbatim at the bottom of the screen for just a few moments after we start our computer:
:BIOS Setup :XpressRecovery :Boot Menu :Qflash
Step 2: Once your BIOS setup menu is loaded, look for the menu item that enables you to set up a password. There might be more than one.
Our BIOS, for example, has provisions for setting up both a "supervisor" password and a "user" password. In our case, you must log in with the supervisor password to make changes to the BIOS. The user password only allows you to see the current BIOS values.
Step 3: Select the menu item for creating the password and enter a password (usually twice, to verify what you typed the first time). If you think you might have trouble remembering the password later, as you'll access your BIOS infrequently, store it in a password locker utility such as LastPass.
Save your BIOS changes and your computer will reboot. From here on out you'll need to enter this password before any changes can be made to your BIOS, ensuring malware will have a harder time harming your PC.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Oil futures lost ground Tuesday, giving back some recent gains ahead of an update on weekly U.S. supply levels as worries about imminent risks to oil production in Iraq soften.
Nymex WTI crude oil for July delivery
ICE August Brent futures UK:LCOQ4 lost 7 cents, or 0.1%, to $113.38 a barrel.
"Iraq will remain in the headlines as far as the crude market is concerned. We still do not expect gains to hold beyond last week's highs unless supplies further south are threatened and the Iraqi army struggles to hold its defence around Baghdad," said Andrey Kryuchenkov, oil strategist at VTB Capital in London. "In such a scenario Brent will risk retesting 115%. Jittery trading will prevail this week, with volatile swings in the sensitive oil price risk premium."
Oil prices were still hanging near nine-month highs, the gains triggered in recent sessions as Sunni-led insurgents, seeking a strict Islamic state in Iraq, have seized towns in a push toward the capital Baghdad. Violence escalated over the weekend as rebels, led by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant, or ISIS, showed photos of the execution of hundreds of Shiite Iraqi soldiers on Twitter.
The fighting, however, has been away from the center of Iraq's oil production in the south. Read: Why traders may be overconfident about the safety of Iraq's oil exports.
"At this stage, the situation in Iraq remains fluid, but we feel that the risks to disruptions to southern exports looks limited," said Credit Suisse analyst Thomas Adolff, in a note to clients Tuesday. "The deteriorating investment climate in Iraq, however, is likely to have an impact on the outlook for supply growth in the south."
Investors later Tuesday will turn their attention to data from trade group American Petroleum Institute, due at 4:30 p.m. Eastern. Analysts polled by Platts expect a fall in U.S. crude oil stocks of 1.4 billion barrel for the week ended June 13. Inventory data from the Energy Information Administration is due Wednesday.
"The expected draw in crude oil stocks will likely be a product of higher crude oil runs at U.S. refineries," wrote Platts, adding that analysts project U.S. refinery utilization rates will rise by 1.3 percentage points to 89.2%.
In other action in the energy complex, natural-gas futures for July US:NGN14 ended little changed at $4.71 per million British thermal units. July gasoline US:RBN4 turned up 2 cents to $3.08 a gallon and heating oil US:HON4 rose 2 cents to $3.02 a gallon.

I bought this program from google play less than a week ago. I booted it today and it downloaded a load of updates and ever since then it's been telling me to connect to the internet and that the license check has failed. I am connected to the internet. How can I fix this?... I'm using a Sony Xperia Tablet Z and the only game I've played on it is FF7.
Any ideas?

When I got my drivers license, I did two things—cruised to the beach and burned rubber between every used record and guitar store from Santa Cruz to San Francisco. There were a lot of rare gems in those shops. But the guitars that fascinated me most were the oddballs and ugly ducklings that enterprising players threw together in search of some elusive sound buzzing around in their heads. Some were abominations, of course. But others were inspired—mad, monstrous collisions of borrowed, stolen, traded, aftermarket, and dumpster-dive-sourced pickups, tremolos, and tuners. All were customized with six bucks' worth of Krylon spray paint.
Fender's elegantly simple solidbodies were always a target for these ambitious garage-guitar surgeons. If you needed the higher output of an aftermarket humbucker or some newfangled locking tremolo, you could do a lot with a router, a drill, and a couple of screwdrivers (not to mention undo the damage with a little wood filler, bondo, and spray paint). The funny thing is that many of those Fenders became icons—from David Gilmour's black Stratocaster to Kurt Cobain's Jaguar. And while you could argue that the results were either beautiful or sacrilege, the most important thing is that they enabled their players to make extraordinary, unique, and deeply personal music.
With their unusual, mutated features and configurations, Fender's new Pawn Shop Series guitars—the '51, '72, and Mustang Special—pay homage to the spirit that made those guitars and thousands like them. They're also a tribute to the experiments and oddball guitars—like the Swinger, Marauder, and Maverick—that sometimes leaked from Fender's Fullerton, California, factory way back when. Each of these new guitars looks, feels, and sounds familiar, and yet each also conceals surprises that can prompt new musical directions or lend fire to the most tired licks.
I explored each of the Pawn Shop Series guitars though a 1964 Fender Tremolux, a Fender '63 Vibroverb reissue, and a 1966 Fender Super Reverb. Running through every tone possibility on each of the guitars made for a lot of fun at the jam space, exploring everything from dirty Southern rock to fuzzed-out garage punk, open-tuned droning, and strange points in between (Click here to watch the video review).

Good Morning,
Equity futures are higher again this morning, dollar down, Euro up. Gold is higher and running after the breakout I showed was occurring last week and is now straight up for more than a week. Bonds have been backfilling the past few days.
No economic reports today.
There was another small movement in the McClelland oscillator yesterday so look for a large movement today or Monday – gee, no surprise there.
The Transports closed at a new high yesterday with the other indices not, this produces yet another divergence. Keep an eye on the VIX, it is very near the bottom Bollinger, showing complacency and potentially setting up a market sell signal if it were to close below that band and then rise back above.
As I watch the events of the world, I can't help but think that there are meaningful events that are very close to rising to the forefront – far too much occurring, you can see the underlying tension in those events, they are happening all over the world. That tension is produced by the inequity of debt backed money that works to richen a few while enslaving the majority.
A common theme among current events is the reduction of American dominance. The overthrow in Kyrgyzstan, for example, has driven out a government friendly to the U.S. and placed in power one backed by Russia. The U.S. is being forced to withdraw from a base there from which we were conducting Afghani operations. Meanwhile Obama is taking pictures with the Russian President, wearing a huge grin over the nuclear reduction treaty, while being chased out of territory surrounding Russia.

My wish that future wars be fought adorably with tiny cannons came a bit closer to reality today thanks to a resurgence of the mini-cannon, now in version 2.0. It is still as deadly as ever.
Nothing glass or plastic is safe from the tiny cannon. Even the rough and tough CRT monitor succumbs eventually, as all things are wont to do when faced with this cute little death-dealer. [YouTube via Boing Boing]

Due to overwhelming support for more coverage of board games, we're going to continue the trend by taking a look at Drakon, a tile-based strategy game.
Drakon has a simple premise: you are in the lair of a dragon and are trying to collect his gold. The first player to have ten gold pieces wins. During each turn you have the choice to either lay down a tile or move your character, and each tile represents an action or ability for your player. You may get to take a coin from the pile, or take over the mind of your opponent and move him, or remove a tile from the board, or force another player to move a certain way.
It's an easy game to learn, and the included cheat sheets for the 17 kinds of tile make looking up each ability a simple thing until you get used to the icons, but the strategy can become very deep, very fast. Setting traps, controlling where the players can go, and spoiling your opponents' long-term plans are all necessary for success.
|Fantasy Flight
|$35 Shop.Ars
Each tile has arrows that show you how a character can move; you can only move from tile to tile by following the arrows, and you can't lay a tile that points to another arrow. This allows you to use your tiles to create a path through the dungeon, which is in itself a strategy; it's easy to limit a players' options as they move along the tiles you've laid, but they're going to try to bust out by using the tiles in their own hand. A carefully constructed coin-collecting loop can be ruined when another player plays a tile that allows them to spin a section and change your direction. There are tiles that allow you to destroy useful abilities on the board, and tiles that allow you to warp around the board unrestricted. Each tile you land on or play does something, and they all must be juggled for an effective strategy.
None of the action described so far includes the dragon, who is oddly passive throughout the experience. The first person to play a dragon tile gets to place him anywhere on the board. From then on, if you play a dragon tile and land on it then you can move the dragon three tiles in any direction. If he lands on you, you lose a coin and get sent back to the start. Using your tiles, moving the dragon smartly, and keeping tabs on the traps set by the other players—it all takes strategy and planning.
In one match, my opponent was busy simply laying down coin-tiles and moving to them to try to get to ten, and I was busy setting a trap across the board by laying a coin tile, a tile that allowed me to steal one of his coins, and a dragon tile. My plan? Collect-steal-kill.
Once the three were next to each other he saw my plan, and when I laid down the teleporter next to my character to move onto the first tile in the sequence he moved to a tile that allowed him to burn the teleporter. He then moved to a tile that spun me, pointing me in the wrong direction and limiting my movement actions. Finally I played the escape tile, which warps my character to wherever that tile is placed, and my friend's only strategy became getting out of the range of the dragon.
There is nothing worse than enjoying your bank roll, only to have your opponent land on the mind-control power and force you to land on a tile that makes you give up one of your coins. The cloud tiles force you to move two tiles along any legal path, so placing a coin tile adjacent to it means that without some serious board manipulation that coin will never be collected. Once we became comfortable with strategy, play picked up rapidly, with tricks, traps, and wickedly devious paths being laid down.
The pieces themselves are made out of thick cardboard and feel great in your hand. Be careful when you punch them out of the plates however, I had one or two rip, but with a steady hand this shouldn't be a problem. The characters are made of unpainted plastic, and can be replaced with anything; the pewter dragon you see in these pictures was something I had sitting around and used instead of the stock dragon marker. You can play with two to six players, and our games lasted around 30 minutes.
The variants are also interesting: you can play so that each character gets a class-specific ability to play once per game, and you can play so that after you collect enough coins you must escape the dungeon. We also tried playing a version where two players on the same tile will roll one die six to "battle" for a single coin. Yes, it's random, but it adds a little bit of chaos into the mix.
The rules can be learned in minutes, and are laid out clearly in the manual. And the game is a great time once you understand what's possible. The outcome isn't random; you can actively plan for and stop anything the other guy is doing as long as you have a few good tiles in your hand. This is a game that now has a home in my collection, and I can't wait to play again.

Jonathan Richman was one of rock's most eccentric and unpredictable cult figures, a performer whose eternally childlike public persona and seeming naiveté -- typified by songs like "Ice Cream Man," "Hey There Little Insect" and "I'm a Little Aeroplane" -- tended to obscure the dexterity and craft of his music, which skirted from garage rock to country to Latin stylings and back. Born May 15, 1951 in Boston, Massachusetts, Richman began playing guitar at the age of 15, and within a year was making his first public appearances. In 1969 he relocated to New York, the home of the Velvet Underground (his central musical influence), and spent his first two weeks in the city sleeping on the Velvets' manager's couch. While working a series of odd jobs, including a tenure as a foot messenger for Esquire magazine, Richman attempted to find a venue to perform his music, but his simple songs and adenoidal voice were roundly rejected; he ultimately moved back to Boston in 1970, where he formed the first incarnation of the influential proto-punk band the Modern Lovers with guitarist John Felice, drummer David Robinson and bassist Rolfe Anderson. Within a few months, Anderson had been replaced by Ernie Brooks, and keyboardist Jerry Harrison stepped in for Felice. After recording some demos with Kim Fowley in the spring of 1971 (unissued until 1981), in 1973, the Modern Lovers (with producer John Cale) recorded the demos which comprised their seminal self-titled debut, featuring long-standing Richman favorites like "Roadrunner," "Pablo Picasso" and "Hospital." Problems with their label, however, blocked the songs' release until 1976; at the same time, Richman wanted to quiet the group's minimalist, garagey sound, leading to their breakup in 1973. Eventually, Richman formed a new, acoustic Modern Lovers with guitarist Leroy Radcliffe, Rubinoos bassist Greg "Curly" Keranen and drummer Robinson. In 1977, they debuted with Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers, which emphasized the doo-wop flavor and wry pop melodies that remained hallmarks of Richman's career. That same year, the group issued Rock 'N' Roll With the Modern Lovers (with D. Sharpe on drums) and scored a major European hit with the instrumental "Egyptian Reggae." A year later, Richman went solo, and in 1979 issued Back in Your Life. After a period of self-imposed exile, he resurfaced in 1983 with Jonathan Sings A series of strong pop records followed, including 1985's Rockin' & Romance, 1986's It's Time for Jonathan Richman & the Modern Lovers (recorded with Andy Paley), and Modern Lovers 88. In 1990, he released the self-explanatory Jonathan Goes Country; later, he made another left turn with 1993's Jonathan, Te Vas a Emocionar!, a collection of Latin-influenced songs performed entirely in Spanish. No matter what path his music took, however, Richman's cult following remained fiercely loyal, and saw its ranks expand courtesy of his frequent appearances on the NBC program Late Night With Conan O'Brien; in 1998, he was also prominently featured in the hit film comedy There's Something About Mary. I'm So Confused appeared later that year. Richman began dipping his toes into slightly more sophisticated musical forms with 2001's Her Mystery Not of High Heels and Eye Shadow, which also documented his continuing interest in the Spanish language, as did 2004's Not So Much to Be Loved as to Love.

Latest Infectious Disease News
TUESDAY, Jan. 28, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Different strains of the same plague bacterium probably caused two of the most devastating disease outbreaks in human history, according to a new study.
The Justinian plague killed between 30 million and 50 million people -- about half the world's population -- in the sixth century as it raged across Europe, Asia, North Africa and the Middle East, according to the study, which was published online Jan. 27 in the journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases.
The Black Death struck about 800 years later, and killed 50 million people in Europe between the years 1347 and 1351 alone.
But while the strain of Yersinia pestis that caused the Justinian plague died out on its own, the strain that caused the Black Death has survived, the researchers said.
They said their findings could lead to a better understanding of modern infectious diseases, including a form of the plague that kills thousands of people a year.
The researchers collected DNA fragments of the Justinian Y. pestis strain from the teeth of two victims who were buried in Germany. They compared this DNA to the genetic material of more than 100 modern strains.
The results showed that the Justinian strain was an evolutionary "dead end" and distinct from strains involved in the Black Death and other later plague pandemics, according to the study.
"The research is both fascinating and perplexing," said Hendrik Poinar, director of the Ancient DNA Center at McMaster University in Canada.
"It generates new questions that need to be explored. For example, why did this pandemic, which killed somewhere between 50 million and 100 million people, die out?" Poinar, an investigator at the university's Institute for Infectious Disease Research, said in a university news release.
Another researcher said the findings suggest that a new strain of plague could appear again.
"We know the bacterium Y. pestis has jumped from rodents into humans throughout history, and rodent reservoirs of plague still exist today in many parts of the world," Dave Wagner, an associate professor at the Center for Microbial Genetics and Genomics at Northern Arizona University, said in the news release. "If the Justinian plague could erupt in the human population, cause a massive pandemic and then die out, it could happen again."
"Fortunately we now have antibiotics that could be used to effectively treat plague, which lessens the chances of another large-scale human pandemic," Wagner said.

When you grow up in West Palm Beach, Fla., long road trips come with the hot, humid territory. It's six hours just to clear Jacksonville. Any destination usually takes at least 10 hours of driving.
On a recent Saturday, I had the chore of making the 11-hour drive home to Charlotte by myself. I didn't mind, though, because I had picked out my reward: With no one else along to fret about lost time, I could include a lunch stop at the Dixie Crossroads in Titusville for a platter of rock shrimp.
This is going to be a food story that frustrates you. Rock shrimp aren't something you find just anywhere. But with spring breaks coming up and half the country headed to Orlando, I thought it might be OK to tell this story.
When my family moved to Florida in 1969, we weren't rolling in dough. The economy was even rougher by 1972 than it was by 2008 and my mother always had her eye open for a deal. On Sundays, our drive home from church went by a Zayre's parking lot where there was usually an old truck with a sign that said "Rock Shrimp." Shrimp wasn't something we could afford much, but my mother quickly discovered that rock shrimp were a bargain. They were trash fish in those days, a meaty morsel hidden under a very hard shell. Most people didn't want to fool with them.
That didn't stop my mom: With three able-bodied kids she could order to stand at a sink and cut through the shells, and my dad always ready to fire up the charcoal grill, rock shrimp were a treat she couldn't pass up. Once you get inside that hard shell, the meat is firm and sweet. Grill them quickly and brush them with butter and you'd swear it was lobster. Or as close as people in our income bracket were going to get.
For years, we kept rock shrimp as our family secret. Then suddenly, the rock shrimp truck disappeared. A family restaurant up in Titusville had come up with a machine to slit those hard shells. All the rock shrimp ended up there, at the Dixie Crossroads, where they used to offer all-you-could eat rock shrimp.
Over the years, I've managed to stop a few times. When my son was small, he couldn't handle 11 hours in a car without a break, so we'd work in a lunch break. It's a classic Old Florida place, with a boardwalk over a fish pond where kids can toss food pellets to the fish and try to hit the alligator fountain while their parents wait for a table. Inside, there are at least three dining rooms, all decorated in manatee murals and wildlife paintings.
When I stopped for an early lunch last Saturday, I was happy to see most things about the place haven't changed. The alligator fountain is still spitting water, the waitresses still call you hon. They've added a bunch more things to the menu, like mullet and something called Royal Red Shrimp.
These days, you don't get all-you-can-eat anymore. A dozen and a half rock shrimp will set you back $21. But the platters come with two sides, and the basket of fritters, Florida's version of a beignet, still comes to your table warm and piled with an avalanche of powdered sugar.
And the rock shrimp? Still sweet, firm and buttery. Like lobster for poor people.
As my dad always said when I was a kid, "I wonder what the poor people are eating tonight?" Rock shrimp, Dad. Rock shrimp.
The Dixie Crossroads, 1475 Garden St., Titusville, Fla. From I-95, take Exit 220 and go east about 2 miles. Open 11 a.m.-9 p.m/. Sunday-Thursday, until 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

The 23-year-old striker scored the only goal of the game, while the Belgian goalkeeper saved a late Jonathan Walters penalty, to ensure the Reds started the season with a victory
Brendan Rodgers hailed Daniel Sturridge and Simon Mignolet for their match-winning performances in Liverpool's 1-0 win over Stoke City.
England international Sturridge grabbed the only goal of Saturday's Premier League opener at Anfield with a fierce 25-yard-drive that evaded man-of-the-match Asmir Begovic and nestled in the bottom corner.
But after dominating proceedings for much of the match, Liverpool nearly came undone when Stoke were awarded a penalty in the 88th minute as Daniel Agger was adjudged to have handled Charlie Adam's free kick.
However, Mignolet ensured Rodgers' side would take home all three points with a terrific double save from penalty taker Jon Walters and Kenwyne Jones on the follow-up, and Rodgers was thrilled with the duo's contribution to a deserved win for his side.
"Considering he's [Sturridge] only been back just over two weeks, it was a great credit to him," the Northern Irish manager said.
"He played 90 minutes in midweek behind closed doors, so to come out and play another 90 today [was impressive].
"Just at the point he scored, I made a note for him to take more shots. It was a real good move, to get the space and the power. He's disappointed he didn't get more but he continues to score and that's why he's here that's his job."
On Mignolet, Rodgers added: "He made three terrific saves. When you get the penalty against you at the end you get a sinking feeling.
"But he did his homework – he knows where all the penalty takers are going, he made a good first save and then obviously the second action to get up and make the double save was impressive."
Rodgers also refused to be drawn on whether Luis Suarez had apologised to his team-mates before his return to training on Friday.
The wantaway Uruguay international is still serving a ban for his bite on Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic last season and had been banished to training alone as he seeks a transfer away from the club.
"The concentration is on the players who are available to play," Rodgers added. "Luis is doing his work, there is nothing to be said there.
"I'm very satisfied with how everything has been resolved, as a club we are looking to the future and moving up."

Red bean and pepper meatballs
This is my favorite meatballs recipe to date. It's spicy, it's rich, it's deliciously thick and serves as a complete meal on it's own. It's one of my never failed meals, because it's impossible to make it taste bad, it can even survive burning (a bit :P), wrong order of cooking, missing ingredients and virtually any cooking disaster you can imagine ;-)
Teriyaki salmon bento
I think life is too short to keep the frozen salmon in the fridge! :-) So I made a teriyaki salmon bento, which was so fast to cook, that I had too much idle time in the morning... Just be careful not to overcook the teriyaki sauce, because it may have a burnt taste. Also, optional lotus root slices will keep the fish tender and juicy for the time when you can finally devour every last bit of it ;-)
Pineapple teriyaki curry with chicken
Give yourself an oriental, savory feast with this simple, yet very spectacular dish. Simple, tasty, and doesn't require lots of ingredients, which is a perfect idea for a nice, cozy evening.
Vegetarian bento
Today was one of these days that my coffee needed a coffee... And I really couldn't make myself cook in the morning. So, the vegetarian bento was made! It's fast, it's simple, and it tasted great. Consider that a fancy salad for lazy days.
