Rest assured, incorporating Joy's LIFE Diet into your daily routine won't require tons of time. By following a few simple tips, mealtime will be the easiest part of your day! Try following these guidelines:
Develop a "master list" of healthy breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks foods. This makes food shopping much easier and also helps prevent impulse-buying.
Keep your kitchen well-stocked with non-perishables like canned soups, beans, and fish. Replenish perishables like skim milk, eggs (or egg substitute), and non-fat yogurt on a regular basis.
Highlight healthy choices from neighborhood take-out menus and add the restaurant's phone number to your speed dial.
Cook in bulk and freeze portions in meal-size containers. Soups, chili, pasta sauces, and broiled chicken or turkey breast all store well.
Plan your next day's eating agenda. Whatever you can pack up or prepare the night before will make the following day less stressful. It will also help you avoid falling prey to fast food, street food, and junk food.

//////////////Strangers Raise Thousands to Help Pizza Guy Replace Stolen Car
Last week, as pizza delivery driver Steve Walker was heading to an apartment building in a Chicago neighborhood with an order to deliver, he was robbed and brutally beaten by two men, who dragged him across the asphalt of the road. Walker was left with severe contusions and road rash, and, even worse, his car was stolen and totaled. His auto insurance policy didn't cover theft, and he couldn't afford to buy a new one.
Walker had worked for Papa John's pizza for 16 years, and relied on his car to do his job. Without a working car, he would have no way to support himself. Luckily, Omar Gutierrez, a Good Samaritan who happened to see the assault and theft, stepped in to help him out.
After Gutierrez went to the police station to give his eyewitness account of the crime, he spent quite a bit of time talking to Walker.
“I can say I got to know him and he is a good, honest guy,” he wrote on his blog. “I believe people like him deserve to be helped in times of need. He works in our community and delivers pizza in our block all the time. Let's show him we care!”



//////////////////EGGPLANT-AUBERGINE-BRINJAL-BEGUN
Enjoy Eggplant

You might assume this purple veggie is a no-no because of its most popular method of preparation: breaded, fried, smothered in mozzarella, and drenched in tomato sauce. Eggplant, however, is anything but off limits on The Sonoma Diet — just wait until you try our lightened-up version of the classic Eggplant Parmigiana!
Pear-shaped and most commonly rich purple in color, eggplant has long been a staple of Italian cooking. Its meaty texture, as well as its high fiber content, provides a filling meal for relatively few calories (about 30 in a 1-cup serving). And the purple skin does more than just make an eggplant look majestic. The peel of an eggplant contains nasunin, a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to protect brain cells.
When selecting eggplant at your grocery store, look for it to be fairly heavy-feeling, with smooth flesh. Any bruises or scars will be apparent on the flesh, and a light-feeling eggplant will probably have tough flesh. Since raw eggplant is naturally firm and bitter-tasting, it should be eaten cooked. No need to worry about overcooking it — while eggplant tastes somewhat bitter and spongy when undercooked, it just becomes softer and more succulent when overcooked.




//////////////////GMBM=o paraphrase something book-editor recently mentioned: in math, the vast majority of everything is bad. Most functions are non-continuous. Most topologies are non-differentiable. Most numbers are irrational. Most irrational numbers are undescribable. And most complex systems are completely unstable.


//////////////////..........Many complex systems have the property that they're easy to describe - but where small changes have large effects. That's the basic idea of chaos theory: that in complex dynamical systems, making a minute change to a measurement will produce huge, dramatic changes after a relatively short period of time.



//////////////..........ut if you try to extend the predictions out in time, what you find is that they become unstable. Make a tiny, tiny change - alter the flow at one point by 1% - and suddenly, the prediction for the weather a week later is dramatically different. A difference of one percent in one out of a million cells can, over the space of a month, be responsible for the difference between a beautiful calm summer day and a cat-5 hurricane.


////////////////...........MARK CC=hat basic bit is called sensitivity to initial conditions is a big part of what defines chaos - but it's only a part. And that's where the crackpots go wrong. Just understanding the sensitivity and divergence isn't enough to define chaos - but to people like Crichton, understanding that piece is understanding the whole thing.

To really get the full picture, you need to dive in to topology. Chaotic systems have a property called topological mixing. Topological mixing is an idea which isn't too complex informally, but which can take a lot of effort to describe and explain formally. The basic idea of it is that no matter where you start in a space, given enough time, you can wind up anywhere at all.


///////////////.......chaotic systems must also have a property called dense periodic orbits. What that means is that Chaotic systems are approximately cyclic in a particular way. The phase space has the property that if the system passes through a point p in the neighborhood P, then after some finite period of time, the system will pass through another point in P. That's not to say that it will repeat exactly: if it did, then you would have a repeating system, which would not be chaotic! But it will come arbitrarily close to repeating. And that almost-repetition has to have a specific property: the union of the set of all of those almost-cyclic paths must be equivalent to the entire phase-space itself. (We say, again speaking very loosely, that the set of almost-cycles is dense in the phase space.)

Using two lines of rats bred for tameness and aggression towards humans, these investigators map the genetic basis of those traits. They identify a network of five interacting genomic regions underlying tameness and aggression. They also find other regions of the genome that influence behavioral, anatomical and physiological traits. These regions provide starting points for identifying genes underlying tameness.

///////////////////WARRIOR GENE-TAMENESS GENE



//////////////////Each year, the American Cancer Society estimates the number of new cancer cases and deaths expected in the United States in the current year and compiles the most recent data on cancer incidence, mortality, and survival based on incidence data from the National Cancer Institute, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries and mortality data from the National Center for Health Statistics. Incidence and death rates are standardized by age to the 2000 United States standard million population. A total of 1,479,350 new cancer cases and 562,340 deaths from cancer are projected to occur in the United States in 2009.

Overall cancer incidence rates decreased in the most recent time period in both men (1.8% per year from 2001 to 2005) and women (0.6% per year from 1998 to 2005), largely because of decreases in the three major cancer sites in men (lung, prostate, and colon and rectum [colorectum]) and in two major cancer sites in women (breast and colorectum). Overall cancer death rates decreased in men by 19.2% between 1990 and 2005, with decreases in lung (37%), prostate (24%), and colorectal (17%) cancer rates accounting for nearly 80% of the total decrease. Among women, overall cancer death rates between 1991 and 2005 decreased by 11.4%, with decreases in breast (37%) and colorectal (24%) cancer rates accounting for 60% of the total decrease. The reduction in the overall cancer death rates has resulted in the avoidance of about 650,000 deaths from cancer over the 15-year period. This report also examines cancer incidence, mortality, and survival by site, sex, race/ethnicity, education, geographic area, and calendar year.

////////////////////Astronomer who found universe's number
Font Size:DecreaseIncreasePrint Page:Print
Andrew Trounson | June 08, 2009

Article from: The Australian
ALMOST 20 years of painstaking intergalactic measuring using pulsating stars to calculate the age of the universe has brought a $US500,000 ($630,000) payoff for three astronomers, including Australian Jeremy Mould.

Professor Mould, 59, of Melbourne University, is set to receive about $200,000 after he and two colleagues in the US and Britain were awarded the US-based Gruber Foundation's cosmology prize.

The award recognises their work in discovering one of the most important numbers in astronomy - the rate at which the universe is expanding.

Using data from the Hubble telescope, which was sent into orbit in 1990, the astronomers discovered over a period of 10 years almost 800 pulsating stars, known as Cepheid variables.

They were able to measure the light from these unstable stars to calculate the distance between galaxies, allowing them in 2001 to calculate the current rate of expansion at about 72km per second per megaparsec (a megaparsec is 3.26 million light years).

That means the so-called Big Bang occurred 13.7 billion years ago.

Only last month an observation from the Hubble refined the expansion rate to 74.2km/s/m, well within the 10 per cent range first calculated by the astronomers. The work has allowed scientists to gauge the density of the universe, helping research into so-called "dark energy".

This is the force that scientists believe acts against gravity and explains why the expansion of the universe is actually accelerating, suggesting it will expand endlessly rather than eventually contract under the force of gravity.

"That is one of our deepest mysteries, to try to explain why does the universe keep expanding," said Professor Mould.

"The age of the universe is integrally tied up with how much dark energy there is."

It was another Australian-based Gruber prize winner, Brian Schmidt, who, along with a rival research team, discovered in 1998 that the expansion was accelerating. It suggests a future where galaxies will continue to fly away from each other, eventually disappearing from view in billions of years' time.

"It is a pretty bleak future if you extrapolate far enough," said Professor Mould, whose laughter suggests he isn't too concerned.

While he doesn't yet know what he will do with the money, he does know he will be buying some expensive champagne.
