I'll try to make this flow smoothly as its own topic.
No one has ever done a study where they restricted carbs to zero because ethics don't allow you to risk patient lives like that. but the natural experiments where people had carbs restricted to zero always go very poorly, with extreme failure to thrive and poor brain function. Additionally the low carb diets tend to have a super strict phase in the beginning where people eat steak and iceberg lettuce for two weeks and then broaden their diet. The diets bill it as training your body to burn fat not carbs, but I've seen to evidence to support it. In my estimation the switch over is there because if it weren't you would suffer extreme medical problems.
As the diets broaden they include beans (which have plenty of carbs) and sprouts (which still have quite a few) and fruits and veggies.
There are biochemical steps that you need to use carbs to do, and nerve cells need carbs to function (and struggle to survive in ketalysis), but the fad diets don't deal with this because they let people get enough carbs to survive.
Carbs are also needed for muscle tone. Not enough carbs can cause muscle lose.
Yes, I was thinking this needed its own topic! From the food for a year thread, right?
I think there is a semantics issue going on here!
So you're talking about "zero carbs" as in not even vegetable carbs! I think that's the crux of the semantics right there. Most people I know, including myself, are not nearly so specific (or logical) in what they mean by a low/no carb diet. When I talk about a low/no carb diet, what I usually mean is a low/no starchy carb diet. All the non-starchy veggies I want are IN: onions, greens, brassicas, even many of the root veggies like carrots, beets and turnips (though excluding potatoes, of course).
I realize there have been some diets out there promoting no carbs at all, though my impression was that folks were implying low/no starchy carbs in the other thread.
I know some other very left-brained folks where this kind of generalizing and non-literal communication drives them crazy. Yes, veggies are carbs, but I would guess that most folks don't think of them that way.
The coherent argument I have seen for most low-carb diets is not to 'train the body to burn fats,' but to overcome insulin insensitivity. There is a good deal of evidence that this can happen. As the insulin resistance goes away, larger amounts of carbs are usually introduced. I am not convinced that a low carb diet is necessary or desirable in the long term - osteoporosis, potassium deficiency, kidney issues and a number of other potential problems concern me. But it does depend on how one defines the term 'low carb'.
Insulin has a number of functions in the body related to inflammation and fat synthesis - when insulin and triglyceride levels are high, fat cells grab what they can and pack it away. Low carb shuts that off. A high fat diet also tends to be more effective in shutting off the appetite, making weight loss easier (this is probably a big part in the restoration of insulin sensitivity of low carb diets, fasting or other calorie restriction would do the same, but is more difficult from a behavioral standpoint).
I have/had always been talking about carbs as carbs no matter what their source.
Lowering insulin resistance is a more plausible story, but I suspect that a reasonable diet will lead to a positive outcome if the caloric intake is lowered appropriately to match the output. Thin active people who eat mountains of spaghetti tend to have much better insulin metabolisms than large sedentary people on high fat high protein diets that contain too many calories.
300 or more grams/day - Danger Zone!
This is also a really great link to check out, it answers all your questions regarding carbohydrates and all sorts of health issues one might be concerned about when embarking on a low-carb lifestyle. I think this way of eating coupled with permaculture would work amazingly. He recommends eating fresh, organic meats and lots of organic vegetables. It's not so much about limiting carbs as not eating wheat/grain.
There are tons of explanations on this site that are scientifically backed up so to me, it seems a viable way to eat/live.
When you talk about eating steak and iceberg lettuce for a couple of weeks before adding in other veggies, I think you're talking mostly about the Atkins diet, which never appealed to me because of the restrictions.
Yeah, the "low carb" diets I talk about, like the paleo diets, include lots of vegetables of all kinds (avoiding potatoes and dry beans) but exclude grains and refined sugars.
The diet described on marksdailyapple sounds a lot like the Bernstein Diabetes diet, which is what I have been using since last March. I tried to stay around 60g carbs/day. He actually wants people to be at 30g carbs/day, but for me this is just not possible. Still, I lost over 25 lbs and my blood sugar got down to the high normal range, around 110-115, but then when early winter came, I was cold all the time, like I mentioned in the other thread. I ate some carbs, and by that, I mean SOME CARBS--raisins, crackers, bread. And I got warm. I usually keep my house at 64F tops in winter with no problem, but this year I have had to keep it at almost 70F and I still be cold without the extra carbs. But the extra carbs also caused my blood sugar to go up and my weight to creep back on. Now I am back counting carbs again and losing the weight again and slowly my blood sugar is dropping again. I don't eat steak and lettuce. Eggs, nuts, seeds, dairy, tofu, tempe, pickled herring, yellowfin tuna, and very occasionally some wild salmon are my protein sources. Outside of the warmth thing, I didn't notice any effects from doing low carb. If anything, I had more energy, not less. I didn't experience muzzy thinking or get a headache, like I did when I tried Atkins once. That was awful.
I have read about how if carbs are couched in high fiber, they will not have such a bad effect on blood sugar, but I have not found this to be the case. I tried, for instance, chana dal, which is very low on the glycemic index, but it was almost like eating bread in terms of its effect on my blood sugar.
I am hoping that during the course of the summer I will lose enough weight to get my blood sugar down into the real normal range, and then, hopefully, when winter comes, I will not experience the same cold feelings. I do believe that it has something to do with blood sugar not being well regulated. The one thing I don't get is why I could eat grains for decades and not see any negative effrects on my health at all and then five years ago, bam.
I am reading "Good Calories, Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes and recommend it for anyone battling this issue. He takes you through the actual studies and their real outcomes, NOT what people just say about health, but what the studies are showing (and many times then ignored). It's an eye opening read.
Many people have cured diabetes and insulin resistance using a macrobiotic diet in which the major source of calories is brown rice. That cuts through some of no-carb extremism right there. Kushi Institute is currently offering a series of programs for reversing diabetes.
I have lost about 3 pounds in 2 weeks. I feel great without the bread and stuff.
I did best on that diet also, oracle. Unfortunately I went off it when my garden stopped producing lettuce.
Take out the guess work, find out what biologically works for you instead of playing with different ideas and screwing up your body. The markers are there in our blood and phenotypes.
How do you do that? What blood test does one ask for?
There are labs that you can spend excessive amounts of money to try an accomplish what is as easily done with a measuring tape for the most part.
Confusion comes when you apply the information, as there are no official studies to show results of food choices. But for instance if you search pubmed for intestinal alkaline phosphate (IAP) and ABO, you will find that anyone with the A antigen (A or AB) has less IAP. Well IAP is used to process saturated fats. If you can not process saturated fat at the intestines, and you do not want it in your cardiovascular system, the simple answer is to not eat red meat right? It is all pretty simple, but again there no "proof" that you will benefit from the obvious.
Funny enough this all leads into my thoughts on permaculture gardens, and wanting people to grow useful vegetables as opposed to the ones that have little value in them.
I deleted a bunch of stuff here.
Please keep in mind that all posts need to make sure that they do not suggest that anybody on permies is anything less than perfect.
Further, make sure that you state your position as "your position" and not "the truth".
If a large and wonderful post has one spec outside of my comfort zone, I'll delete the whole post.
Quick tip: search for the word "you". Usually, if your post has the word "you" in it, it is outside of my comfort zone.
Thanks for the reminder, its such a habit to use "you"
No one has ever done a study where they restricted carbs to zero because ethics don't allow you to risk patient lives like that. but the natural experiments where people had carbs restricted to zero always go very poorly, with extreme failure to thrive and poor brain function.
I am resurrecting this thread to correct this statement.
A study was done to prove that natural experiments with zero carbs do not always go poorly.

I mentioned elsewhere on Permies recently that ketogenic (low/no-carb) diets are also used to treat severe forms of epilepsy which don't respond to pharmaceuticals, especially in children. It works by forcing the brain to use ketone bodies (a fat-based energy source) instead of glucose - the change in energy source helps prevent/limit seizures. One of the key advantages of a ketogenic diet over pharmaceuticals is that it does not cause the dulling of the mind that is common with strong epilepsy drugs, which is why it is most commonly used with children: epilepsy drugs limit a child's ability to learn and play. The diet has been used to treat epilepsy for thousands of years.
I am a paleo convert. Been paleoish since nov 1 2011. Lost 65 pounds, and feel amazing. I have had major joint injuries. Torn both rotator cuffs, one shoulder scoped need to have the other one scoped but don't want to be in a sling for 6 weeks again. Fractured L3 and L4 vertebra. While I'm not 100% I feel much better than I did before. I sleep better. Cut all artificial sweeteners out, I feel much more mental clarity. I am 35, 6'0'' and 252. That may seam like a lot of pounds however 232 was my weight after 14 weeks of Army basic training and A.I.T. I don't think I could get lower than 230 without going to a concentration camp. I think that some people (such as my self) are glutton sensitive. I was addicted to sugar.
I am not saying that paleo is the way. 15 years ago I eat whatever I wanted, I just always tried to hit 15 miles of running every week. A spine injury put the end to all that.
years ago I was on a reduced fat diet, and developed type 2 diabetes..
so then I was told to restrict carbs and went on atkins..and developed high cholesterol..
OK so then after a very long telephone conversation with Paul, and reading several books and viewing a movie he suggested I realized..OK..don't go completely NO carb but limit the carbs esp to whole grains, whole fruits and vegetables.
OK now I'm reading the healthy4life information, and I have been switching over to the way he suggests eating in the past week, and in one week I have lost 8 pounds, and feel better, enjoy the food more and have more energy, less tired..etc.
I haven't got a source for raw milk or raw milk products so I'm not being religious about my eating, but I have been putting the saturated fats in and leaving the crap oils out, good, much better, tastier for sure.
I have found a couple of sources for commercially made uncured bacon with no nitrates..and hope to someday be able to get pastured meat and raw dairy. Have found someone who I can get goats milk from next spring but her animals have been dried up for the year.
Still shopping around. Found closer to pastured eggs (large pen, eat bugs, but not pastured, have a rooster)..and they are only 3 miles away...but hope to get my own chickens next year...couldnt' do it this year.
with the horrible frosts and droughts here this year I have been forced to buy more food from the stores than usual, bummer..but hopefully next year it will be back to a surplus from my own gardens.
My blood sugar still isn't where I'd like it to be but with the weight loss and the blood pressure going down a lot I know I'm heading in the right direction. I also am back up to walking at least 2 to 3 miles every day, and doing weightlifting and an hour of strength /ton training..which I know I needed to get back into doing after my surgery.
www.westonaprice.org is the website I hope i got that typed right..
I have a particular rare condition of diabetes. Not the typical type I or II.
Since age of 10, my blood glucose was higher than average, but not much. I could controlled it by diet, basicallly by removing white sugar and sugary cakes and sweets.
Second thing is that I always struggled with low weight, since I was a child until now.
Curiously when I was a child I was eating mostly meat and less carbs. With time, I ate more carbs during my teens and then at age 20, I became vegetarian and more macrobiotic (whole grains instead of refined grains). That was a pure bodily desire to stop eating meat.
At this point, my high blood sugar disappeared. I only lost litlle weight. It was perfect, and it was like that for 4 years.
However at 25 I tried to become a bit vegan for a year (removing diary) and eating more raw, and that was a disaster, I lost much weight and start developing several health problems some months later, so I re-started again with milk and ocasionally eggs and my weight recovered to same point and health became great again.
So now I am mostly vegetarian but eat ocasionally fish (to ensure a complete diet and also because I like it). My weight has always been low. My diet is mostly grains, pulses, vegs, one portion of milk per day, and ocasionally nuts, fish and eggs. Basically potatoes don't make me satisfied, neither fruits, but grains and pulses do, as well as nuts, fish and eggs. What I always avoid is sweets (because that provokes hunger some hours down the road - unstable sugar). Whole bread is also great for me. I have no food allergies.
Doctors have told me once that I produce normal levels of insulin. But I might have an unknown genetic change that it is hard for the body to store excess calories as fat. Might be cell receptors, some mutation in my insulin, or some other factor that is different than average. Somehow it doesn't matter how much I can eat, my weight will always be stable and I never develop fat tissue. This has its good things and not so good things (for example the fact I live now in Iceland, where I need some fat to protect from the cold). I have also great mental activity, and a moderately fast metabolism. I also never ate a very calory rich diet, because I always avoid sweets and oily food (I only eat fat in fish, olive oil, nuts, milk and sunflower seeds, I dont enjoy butter or frying oils).
Even though I am healthy and cured my diabetes (by going mostly vegetarian and whole grains) I still look for perfection.
Especially to increase a bit my weight.
Would you recommend some adjustement to my diet based in my different metabolism?
for me, carb stands for carbo-hydrates, and this is absolutely equal to starch!
hydrate de carbone is what we call "slow sugar", that is starch.
So, when I said in another post that I am on a low carb diet, I mean I eat no grains and no potatoes.
I have been for years on a gluten free diet, and I was much better, and then, gut symptoms started again!
So, its been some weeks now that I have suppressed carbs.
and I have decided to deworm (it was a success 3 year ago now) again.
then I will see the result.
I also increase raw food, with green juices. So, less fiber. My fiber from veggies is in the bone/meat soup!
I was told as a child about pancreas deficiency that could lead to diabetes.
It was said by an iridologist (looking into iris of the eye).
Then I took the habit of limiting sugar, even in yogurt.
When I was 18, I had read a lot about diets, and was proud to eat low fat... and a blood test said I lacked cholesterol!
Well, I have changed my mind totally concerning fats.
I am thin but not to much, and I still look like a teen.
it was often once a day, as one meal cost less and we could eat a lot.
Sometimes I had an urge for food with a pain in the stomach zone, and I could calm this with a heavy pudding cake from the cafeteria!
then I was found with sugar in urine test... and I got an analysis (drinking glucose syrup and measure of sugar levels going down in blood).
-> my sugar level was going down too slowly.
Then I went again sugar free and forgot about it.
and I notices it was linked to a special type of red pimple, that stay hard for a long time and are not easy to press out.
I tried my best, and satisfied myself with fructose products.
Now I know this was the cause of many tooth decay... and would like the liars who said it was good on the box to pay for the expenses!
only natural fructose in the fruit is good.
Then I had a boyfriend with a lot of these pimples, and he was cured quickly by stopping sugar.
I still do speak of sugar, and not of carbs!
It seemed to me that I could not stand vegetable fibers well.
because of nutrient combinations in the body.
I can eat sweet things only when I stop carbs!
If I eat carbs, then veggies give me diarrhea.
If I stop carbs, I can eat a lot more veggies.
I am almost sure that carb and animal proteins are also a bad combination.
I can suggest a try, as I understand that it might be the mix with carb that makes your body refuse to take more animal proteins.
And you know they are good for you as the vegan diet was not successful.
Whenever you eat some animal protein, egg, cheese and especially fish, try to have only vegetables at the same meal. You should eat some raw, like a big salad, and some cooked but not all cooked, for enzymes. Then eat them also with some fat like olive oil (both in salad and added to the cooked veggies). Exclude potato too from this meal, and bread of course.
This might makes you want to eat more fish, and that would be great for you while you live in Iceland!
Eat fruits with nuts as a snack, far from any meal. I am almost sure fruits are ok with cheese.
You mentionned almonds and sunflower, do you know chia? Rich in omega 3, just in case you do not eat so much fatty fish.
Coconut is supposed to be good against diabetes, and be able to nourish brain cells very well.
Be careful with sunflower oil, soja etc. they are rich in omega 6, too rich.
If fiber is a need that you fill with wholegrain, then think about eating sauerkraut and other lacto-fermented veggies. Very good for transit.
An interesting fact is to try inuline rich veggies like sunchokeand notice if there is a gas problem. If yes, then it is necessary to look further, as it indicates that guts do not function all that well.
So, my suggestion is to try to increase fat, as a best way to put on weight, and choosing the source of your fats.
Then organize the mix of your usual ingredients.
Then, have you thought about parasites?
They are able to manipulate our tastes, so that we feed them what THEY want!
in that case, you feed them and they leave you in peace, and they put on weight, but not you!
Some people have more tendency, and not all type of worms are detectable, nor killed by deworming medicines.
Again this is MY experience, and I go into details about myself so anyone can see what is similar or not.
when I did it (with plants), I was no more able to eat sugar, and even honey was not appealing!
i mean that i could not finish my usual plate, as I was full quicker!
I really like your honest storytelling, very pleasant reading.
Well, looking at your experiences, I can say we share some points and have other body-wise differences.
I really agree with with not eating carbs with fish but rather only veggies. That seems also intuitive for me, actually I mostly do it too, because it seems to be the correct thing to do. The fish is actually very good here, and although I can't "grow" it, its a good food to get it here (its local). Great is to cook a fish soup only with veggies, spices and fish.
Also, I dont mix fruits with anything else. Again, our bodies seem to behave similar with this.
Same thing for the artificial fructose (nasty stuff), I do not use neither sugar, nor fructose. Sometimes I do eat cookies but its more because my friends offer them to me. I never buy sugar containing products, and I also dont buy any sugar. However, because sometimes I eat cookies, I still have tooth decay. I must make extra effort to stop this, but social life makes it difficult sometimes.
Nuts: 2012 has been the year I am eating more nuts! As a snack. Its good, I particularly like pecan nuts and brazil nuts.
Seeds: I drink water with chia almost day I remember to do it. I also toss some chia (and other seeds) to my breakfast cereals (mostly organic millet and buckwheat; no additives). Still a grain, yes, but replacing this by mere seeds and nuts would make my eating far too expensive and also time-consuming. Perhaps you can recommend me an alternative.
I can go by a banana too, but somehow I feel hungry later on the morning. Sometimes I do eat a banana 1 hour before the breakfast, but this requires I wake up extra early. Perhaps a fish soup would be a nice alternative, but it would be again more expensive and time consuming to cook it every morning. But its the best alternative I can think of.
Suggesting the coconut oil is a wonderful suggestion. As I am a soap maker; I use a lot of coconut oil in my work, and therefore I have plenty of it! I use it sometimes and I must use it more.
Also sesame oil, its one oil I am really getting into. But I never used sunflower oil in cooking, only olive oil. And I am getting addictive to olives, which are also rich in fat. And avocados, that I must also use more than I use.
Last question: how do you do the de-worming? I have tried fasting before but I have such a fast metabolism (I am vata type, ayurvedically speakinh) that I really would enjoy other methods of de-worming that do not involve fasting. Or is it the only solution?
PS: yes, I have a gas problem sometimes. I know this.
I must know when I write what is nice to read and when not, as it spoils everybody's time!
For breakfast, i did use buckwheat, but sprouted! I really love it, the second day after sprout coming out (or else it is too starchy for me).
i did mix it with banana and chia.
Do you think about griding chia for a better availability of this small seed? And it makes a good thickening for breakfast.
Do you mix fruits with nuts?
it is good to eat fat with fruits.
Also the mix banana / avocado is good, and will keep you going longer.
I think the fat fills you better when you eat fruits, and also you slow down more the sugar intake.
For social life: say that you discovered you were allergic!
I cannot eat yeast either, so it is a good reason not to eat cakes.
olives are wonderful in salads, but here I cannot find the black greek style I love!
I see you do not use cereal flakes, this can be a problem for some people, as they oxidate, and must be prepared every day.
I also have gas, still... But I no more look "pregnant"!
Xisca Nicolas wrote: Thanks paulo.
So, for your breakfast, you mix sprouted buckwheat (any other grain) with grinded seeds, cacao and coconut oil, right?
What fat do you add to the fruits?
I generally eat the nuts as a snack, alone. As I do the fruits.
For raw carb, raw though sprouted, I really prefer buckwheat for digesting.
The longer you sprout, the more you transform the carbohydrates in more simple sugars, with less job for the pancreas.
and that we want to slow down the process, right?
This is achieved by mixing sugars to fibers, but also to any fat.
That is why I do not separate sugar and fat.
About banana: I smash it in a plate and always use ripe ones.
Smashing allows oxygen to go further in transforming some remaining carbs (indigestible raw for us).
The banana goes blackish, and its taste sweeter.
So that is the first thing i do if I eat a banana mix.
- I eat almonds at the same time. Any nut.
- I have a spoonful of coconut oil (creamy, not liquid!), and I eat some of it with a mouthful of fruit.
Of course I can take time to mix this, must I often go straight to the easiest solution with no washing-up!
- I grind chia and make a water mix, chia is fatty.
About sesame: always de-hulled, as it has anti-nutrients as well.
- Avocado: if you want a creamy stuff, then go to the electric mixer! Simply with the fork is efficient but the result and taste is different.
- carob powder add some sweet taste, as I never put any sugar with the cacao.
Another great mix: cacao powder into a half pot of the coconut oil, heat, mix and cool!
But coconut is an oil supposed not to help to put on weight. But it is medicinal.

This past weekend Florida Cars held its annual conference where many issues were discussed about our joint interests under 493. During the conference, FASCO President KC Poulin and FALI President John Zurenda were there along with the Council of Presidents. KC Poulin and John Zurenda did a presentation focused on joint cooperation between FLACARS, FASCO and FALI and the proposed regulatory board model being studied for the future of 493. We are happy to announce that Florida Cars and its members have unanimously voted to support the effort and move forward on this issue. The next step is for the representatives of the Council of Presidents to attend the IASIR (International Association of Security and Investigative Regulators) conference in Portland Oregon on November 10-14. There they will meet with regulators from other states to discuss the feasibility of our efforts with those who already have working models under a regulatory board. Check the website for updates on what they have gained through this conference to enable us to move forward.
During the conference Florida Cars held their annual elections. Congratulations to Jamie Blackburn who was elected the new President and William Alvarez who is the newly elected Vice President!


Another persistent bug is in targeting. When a monster is just around the corner and you can "see" it, you can target it. You can also target that location if a monster is not there. However, if a monster is on that location and you cannot "see" it, then targeting will not lock.
02:59 < Derakon> If you try to target a space that has a monster in it, and is in LOS but not visible (e.g. on the other end of a darkened room), then the target doesn't "stick".
02:59 < Derakon> And when you try to cast a spell with that target, the target is replaced with your current position.


Tim Lincecum is a starting pitcher for the San Francisco Giants. He was drafted by the Giants back in 2006 and struck out the side in his first inning of professional baseball.

Can't wait until the new Fall Premiers start? Want to check out some of the new TV pilots before they air on Television? Well you're in luck. As I mentioned before, Amazon Unbox has a few of the NBC new pilot, first episodes available for free beginning today.
Life - An NBC Drama about a former police officer who returns to the force after having been wrongly imprisoned for years.
Bionic Woman - An NBC Sci-Fi Action Drama remake of the 1970s series. A woman is transformed from a barista to part-robotic babe.
Chuck - An NBC Comedy where a Geek Squad-like guy named Chuck has all government top-level secrets downloaded into his brain so he becomes a governmental operative. Sounds cheesy but I've heard good reviews.

These don't include the torrents that are out there. It was reported that some of the major networks leaked some pilot episodes online to create buzz. Not sure if that's true, but I've heard that episodes of NBC's Bionic Woman," ABC's "Pushing Daisies," The CW's "Reaper", Fox's "The Sarah Connor Chronicles," ABC's "Cavemen," and NBC's "Chuck" and "Lipstick Jungle are all available on the various torrent sites. I think I'll stick to using my Home Theater PC software Beyond TV to record these shows rather then hunt for the torrents, but I'm sure there have been many people downloading these shows.

Most Multilingual Countries In The World
Across its constituent republics, the Russian Federation has more the 20 official languages, as does India.
This sign in Singapore warns people in Mandarin Chinese, English, Malay, and Tamil.
The number of languages spoken in a country depends very much on its history and its demographic makeup. Some countries are very linguistically diverse, yet only recognize one or two languages as being "official", whereas others make more of an effort to increase accessibility to information for all people in their own mother tongues. For instance, those Canadians with a background in linguistics may know that in the most linguistically diverse part of Canada, as many as 32 languages are spoken in a single province, though only English and French are official languages therein. Such is often seen to be the case in many other countries as well. Politics play a huge role in official language designations and the discussion thereof, so the numbers aren't accurate unless each of them are used in reference to official languages, and not simply languages that are spoken. Multilingualism, and the ability to use such forms of communication such as Braille and sign language, can prove to be a huge asset to an individual, since it may open up entire worlds that would otherwise remain inaccessible. With those considerations in mind, we have compiled a list of the countries with the highest number of officially recognized languages in the world.
9. Singapore (4 official languages)
Singapore has is tied with 3 other countries as having the sixth largest number of official languages at four. Namely, these are Mandarin Chinese, English, Malay, and Tamil, with Malay being the national language and English and Mandarin Chinese being the most commonly used to conduct foreign business affairs. This may seem like a surprisingly high number for such a small country, but, as an ex-British colony surrounded by countries that speak languages other than English, its multilingualism not only seems logical, but also practical.
8. Moldova (4 official languages)
Moldova, located in Eastern Europe, is another small country with four official languages. These are Moldovan and Russian throughout, and Gagauz in Gagauzia, and Ukrainian in Transnistria (Trans-Dniestr). Its history and the different ethnicities of its citizens greatly contribute to its linguistic diversity.
7. The Netherlands (4 official languages)
The Netherlands also has four official languages. These are Dutch, Frisian, Limburgish, and Papiamento. Many Dutch are also fluent in English, and it is widely used throughout the country. This proves useful to the Dutch economically, since it allows for better communication with its immediate neighboring countries and the English-speaking world as well.
6. Switzerland (4 national languages)
Switzerland, another country with four official languages, borders Italy, France, and Germany, which give it three of these languages. The last language is Romansh predominantly in the southeastern Swiss canton of Grisons . Also a fact, speakers of German and Swiss German are often not able to understand one another.
5. Serbia (7 official languages)
Serbia, the world's fifth most linguistically diverse country, has ten official languages. These are Serbian, Croatian, Romanian, Ruthenian, Hungarian, Slovak, Czech, Bosnian, Bulgarian, and Albanian. Serbia is similar to Moldova, in that its linguistic diversity can be attributed to its history and ethnocentric history.
4. South Africa (11 official languages)
South Africa recognizes Afrikaans, English, Ndebele, Northern Sotho, Sotho, Swati, Tsonga, Tswana, Venda, Xhosa, and Zulu as official languages. The South African government also accommodates those communicating via Khoi, Nama, San, and sign language as well. One of South Africa's priorities during the beginning of its post-Apartheid era that began in the 1990s, was to take steps recognize all of its citizens and make official information accessible to all. One of the ways in which this was done was by giving each of the South African people's main languages official statuses, thus increasing accessibility to those citizens from many different backgrounds. While linguistic equity is not necessarily always practiced, the implication that speakers of all languages are equal is a huge step forward from the country's segregated past.
3. Zimbabwe (16 official languages)
Zimbabwe, South Africa's neighbor to the north, holds the world's third highest number of official languages at 16, and shares several official languages with South Africa. The official languages of Zimbabwe are Chewa, Chibarwe, English, Kalanga, Koisan, Nambya, Ndau, Ndebele, Shangani, Shona, Sign Language, Sotho, Tonga, Tswana, Venda and Xhosa. With the many human migrations that have historically occurred throughout the southern part of the African continent, it should come as no surprise that there are so many different languages spoken in Zimbabwe.
2. India (23 official languages)
India has 23 official languages. English and Hindi are officially recognized throughout India, while Bengali, Nepali, Kokborok, Garo, Gujarati, Kannada, Khasi, Konkani, Malayalam, Marathi, Meitei Manipuri, Mizo, Odia, Oriya, Punjabi, Santhali, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu are among those officially recognized in certain states and union territories. As a huge nation with a rich history spanning from both well before and during, and today still continuing after, the British Colonial era, many languages have developed and evolved within this massive country on the Indian subcontinent.
1. Russia (24 official languages across all republics)
The country with the most official languages in the world today is Russia, with 24. These 24 languages span across Russia and the federation's various constituent republics. The official languages of Russia are Buryat, Altay, Tyvan, Khakas, Sakha, Adygean, Bashkir, Ingush, Kabardian, Balkar, Tatar, Kalmyk, Abaza, Cherkess, Karachay, Nogai, Mari, Mordvin, Komi, Ossetian, Udmurt, Chechen, Chuvash, and Russian. The first 23 languages are location-specific within the Russian Federation, with the Russian language acting as a uniting factor that facilitates communication between Russian citizens from across all of its vast area.
What is the World's Most Multilingual Country?
The country with the most official languages in the world today is Russia, with 24. These 24 languages span across Russia and the federation's various constituent republics.

Rendez-Vous with French Cinema
Meteorites - Les Méteorites
Romain Laguna
North American Premiere
French with English subtitles
After 16-year-old Nina (Zéa Duprez) sees a meteorite fall from the sky, she can't find any physical evidence to prove what she witnessed. Instead, the mysterious event catalyzes an exploratory and quietly momentous summer, which sets the scene for Romain Laguna's atmospheric first feature. Adrift after dropping out of school, Nina pursues love and lust with Morad (Billal Agab), her best friend's older brother, who hails from an Algerian family in their otherwise culturally homogeneous village in the south of France. As their time passes, Nina senses a slight rift between the personal and shared stakes of their relationship, but the journey emerges as one of crucial self-discovery. Laguna crafts an evocative and tactile portrait of the hunger for experience that shapes our teenage years, and Duprez's remarkably assured performance introduces a poised new talent.

Bea sings and strums her folky pop songs with the same sincerity she uses to write them. Spending her early adult years in Dallas, Texas, Bea acquainted herself with the local music scene and played every stage she could from small pubs to large capacity venues and opened for acts such as Norah Jones, John Mayer and James Taylor. Her ambitions eventually drove her to NYC where she played on subway platforms to make rent.
Bea self released two albums- her full length "The Critics Call you a Genius" and an EP entitled "Somebody, Anybody". Both are composed of raw, modest, sometimes live, and low budget recordings that are unabashedly honest. "My songs don't hide anything, and I won't sing it unless it's true. The truth is the most powerful thing anyone has. That's what moves people."
Bea later began work as a fashion designer and found herself writing and performing far less often. But a five year break from music, a beautiful baby boy and a move to upstate later, Bea found herself being once again drawn to her first loves- her guitar and the stage.
Almost always playing solo, Bea delivers every thoughtful lyric of her hook-strong songs with simplicity while still managing to evoke a range of emotions including, delight, anguish and melancholy.
Bea's third album "Old Habits" is her first full length studio recorded effort and is outfitted with the formidable talents of Grammy Award winning drummer and noted producer, Brady Blade (Dave Matthews, Emmylou Harris, Jewel), accomplished award winning engineer, Chris Bell (U2, The Eagles, Erykah Badu) and multi Grammy Award winning mastering engineer, Gavin Lurssen.

Local Philanthropy
Keeping the Beat for Rural Philanthropy
The North Dakota Community Foundation is committed to public education.
From the arts to athletics, the North Dakota Community Foundation is committed to strengthening rural schools through philanthropy.<\/p>"
The North Dakota Community Foundation (NDCF) is a national leader in regional philanthropy, and the organization is committed to supporting public education throughout what is largely a rural state. As part of our partnership with our North Dakota Hub partners, the North Dakota Small Organized Schools, we interviewed Kevin Dvorak, NDCF President and CEO. Kevin is pictured below.
Where is your hometown? Are you native to North Dakota?
I spent the first five years of my life in Vesleyville, ND. We moved 11 miles to Minto when I began kindergarten. My graduating class numbered 24 students, 16 boys and 8 girls. The opportunities that being in a small school afforded me were many. I participated in four sports at the varsity level, was in the class play, student government, boys state, the annual committee and probably more that I can't recall. What a rich experience it was for all of us.
What did you do before joining the North Dakota Community Foundation?
I was in sales with a major corporation traveling the western half of North Dakota. That experience taught me customer service, hard work and how to relate to a variety of people.
What is the mission of the NDCF?
The mission of the North Dakota Community Foundation is to improve the quality of life for North Dakota's citizens by promoting philanthropy and charitable giving.We accomplish this in many ways to include setting up and ongoing support and management of local school foundations so that the schools do not have to run them on their own.
What are the biggest challenges facing small towns in your state?
Every small town is unique with its own strengths and challenges. Some of the common issues are declining populations, low birth rates, lack of economic opportunities, declining local dining and entertainment opportunities as well as retail to include groceries and amenities.
In your mind, why are public schools so important to small towns?
A well-run public school can be a magnet for young families, not only keeping them in town, but drawing new residents as well. In my hometown, the school was the center of activity, especially when winter set in. The concerts, sporting events, programs and plays were well attended by not just the parents of the participants, but by other community members as well.
How does the North Dakota Community Foundation support public education and small rural schools?
We support local schools through our grantmaking from our Statewide Greatest Needs Fund and also from our 65 local community foundations, which are mostly in rural communities. These grants enhance the educational experience and the ability of schools to offer more for their students, parents and the community at large. Some examples of actual projects and programs that these grants have funded include:
Replacing outdated and unsafe playground equipment (Grenora, ND)
Bringing a week-long theatre workshop to town so area school kids can experience acting and working together on a production, which is presented to the community at the end of the week (Cavalier, ND)
Professional development books for educators to use in their group study (Lisbon, ND)
New uniforms for their marching band (Stanley, ND)
We also help organize and manage school foundations, which are be used to supplement tax dollars to provide above and beyond educational opportunities. These local school foundations keep capital in the community where it was earned so that the next generations can benefit from those dollars.
If you could wave a magic wand, what steps would you like rural school district communities to take to build a more sustainable future?
From the philanthropic perspective, the use of a local school foundation to capture financial resources is a big step toward sustainability. Those resources can not only reduce the burden on the tax base, but also enhance the community and make your town a more desirable place to live. The local school foundation can be an important piece in the sustainability puzzle.
How can individuals work with the NDCF to make a difference in the future of their schools and communities?
Many of our school foundations were started with the impetus from a donor who wanted to help their alma mater. Their "lead gift" opened the door and inspired the creation of a school foundation to allow others to also help. We have worked with individuals who have come directly to us to provide gifts to support their local school, or to provide scholarship money for students, or to buy a grand piano for the music program. These are just some of the ways that the flexible tool that is a school foundation can be used to serve the needs of those who want to give and the needs of the school and its students.
By working with the North Dakota Community Foundation, the local school foundation has access to assistance from our marketing experts, our planned giving and fundraising experts as well as our state-of-the art accounting and fund management. All of these assets allow you to approach donors in your community with the same sophisticated giving opportunities as any major charity, without having to have those people on your staff - they are included in the partnership with the North Dakota Community Foundation.
We invite you to check out this short film on the work of the North Dakota Community Foundation. In addition, please check out this story on how the Lisbon Community Fund, part of the NDCF, supports its public schools!

Strong Communities, Strong Schools: A Rural Community Center Profile


Your lovers always said you were paranoid. You were imagining things. You were irrational, crazy, overreacting.
But when the plain truth came out, everything you feared was actually true. Your lovers weren't as trustworthy as you thought. Clandestine flirtations, or worse, outright infidelities, occurred right under your nose. You knew it in your heart, but tried to deny it, and the result was a war between your heart and mind that had you quite perplexed and upset. But, is it possible you set this up right from the very start? You got involved too quickly, and you certainly got physical without thinking first. Frequently you'd get into a situation where you and your lover were quibbling nonstop, both of you unwilling to compromise and cooperate. The answer lies within you. The lovers you choose might never be those cozy, sit-by-the-fire-and-purr types. You may never get a calm, content connection. But who wants calm when you can have fire and excitement? Embrace the tumult. Let go of your desires to control.

Waddaya mean you've never heard of Chuck Berry?!
I Saw Joan Rivers Live . .
Fresh from the City of Sin and Laughter (Harrismith, Free State, South Africa – you didn't know?), where I'd spent my first seventeen years, I arrived in New York with Great Expectations.
I was READY – more than ready! – to see the big wide world. After landing we – the gang of Southern African Rotary Exchange students -were bused to a hotel in Queens. Someone – a Rotarian, I guess? – checked us in and then left us to go to bed for the night. Early the next morning we'd be boarding different planes to the various states we'd been assigned to.
Oh, I wouldn't advise you did that, he drawled, I'll get the hotel bus to take you someplace.
So off we went, noses plastered against the windows, fascinated. Our personal chauffeur dropped us off at a brightly-lit truck stop and asked when we wanted to be fetched. "Three Ay Emm" we said, pushing our luck. Check, he said without blinking. So we sat and watched a New York night go by drinking beer and slowly eating a burger n fries till he fetched us as arranged. So on our first night in wildest New York in a dodgy area we'd been warned about . . nothing happened.
After three hours sleep, we were taken back to JFK where we split up. Some of us boarded that huge NY Airways Sikorsky helicopter in the pic for the hop over to La Guardia airport from where I'd be going on to Chicago's O'Hare airport and thence to Oklahoma City – and adventure! My late night truckstop friend was headed for Indiana – that's him bustling to the chopper in the top picture.
In Oklahoma my nearby exchange student colleagues were Evelyn Woodhouse from Durban, hosted by Fort Cobb, Helen Worswick from Marondellas in Zimbabwe, Jenny Carter from Bromley in Zimbabwe. They were in Mountain View and Carnegie. All bustling metropoli like Apache!
Also Jonathan Kneebone from Australia. And then there was the delightful Dotty Moffett from Ardmore in Oklahoma, who had been to Cape Town, South Africa with Rotary the year before.
We all met at a festive gathering of Rotary students in Oklahoma and then visited each other's towns whenever we could.
As a sad postscript to my reminiscing about this wonderful year, I found out way after the fact that Dottie Moffett Butler died unexpectedly at her home in San Diego, California, on Wednesday, July 5, 2006.
I also learnt that Dottie was born July 8, 1955, in Daytona Beach. At the age of seven her family moved to Chickasha and then, several years later, moved to Ardmore. Dottie graduated from Ardmore High School.
During her junior year she was a Rotary Exchange student to South Africa. I met her after that when she was back in OK in 1973. She returned to South Africa to earn her bachelor's degree from the University of Cape Town, South Africa, where we met up once when I traveled to Cape Town in my mother's borrowed car as a student in Johannesburg.
I found out she had gone on to earn her master's degree in psychology from East Central University in Ada. Her obituary read: As a psychologist, Dottie was a compassionate and caring counselor whose gift for helping others through difficult times will long be remembered. Dottie is survived by her husband, Dr. Harrison Butler, San Diego; her mother, Dorothy Moffett McCall, Durham N.C.; her sister, Dale Moffett, Cary, N.C.; two brothers, David Moffett and his wife Mary, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Denny Moffett and his wife Mary, Tulsa, Oklahoma, as well as several nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, Dr. J. Denny Moffett Jr. (I see her mother Dorothy McCall passed away more recently in 2014, aged 88 in Durham N.C).
Remembrance services for Dottie were held in San Diego and on Mt. Desert Island in Maine, where Dottie and family had vacationed. (This information was provided by Haigh-Black Funeral Home).
Devastated. Too soon! Dottie was a very special lady. I knew her only for a couple years, in Oklahoma, in Cape Town, and on a trip through Canada with her twin sister Dale and her very good friend Sherry Porter, but she was unforgettable – her heart, her sincerity, her joie de vivre, and that wonderful laugh!
(PS: Dottie's Dad, Dr Denny Moffett sent me a book on the Wichita Mountains and the Native American people. I must find it).

Gene-Expression Profiling Raises Costs for Cancer Care wi...
Gene-Expression Profiling Raises Costs for Cancer Care without Improving Outcomes for Low-Risk Breast Cancer Patients, According to Researchers
PLYMOUTH MEETING, Pa., Jan. 23, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- New research in the January 2019 issue of JNCCN—Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network reports that using Oncotype DX (ODX)—the most commonly used test for predicting the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy to reduce the risk of disease recurrence—is not cost-effective for people with breast cancer who are otherwise at low-risk of recurrence. Multigene assays to obtain a gene-expression profile are laboratory tests used to identify the function of specific genes in cancer cells. It can be used to help characterize a malignancy, to understand the prognosis, and to determine whether specific therapies are indicated. In this scenario, oncologists use ODX-testing to determine whether or not women with hormone receptor-positive breast cancer would derive any benefit from undergoing additional chemotherapy.
"Given current emphasis on value-based practice, oncologists should use clinically available tumor characteristics to evaluate patients' risk before ordering ODX-testing," said Shi-Yi Wang, MD, PhD, Associate Professor, Yale Cancer Outcomes, Public Policy and Effectiveness Research (COPPER) Center | Yale Cancer Center Department of Chronic Disease Epidemiology | Yale School of Public Health. "The NCCN Guidelines® for Breast Cancer already do not recommend ODX for patients whose tumor size is less than 5 mm. Our findings confirm and may expand on that recommendation by highlighting other prognostication values from tumor characteristics."
The researchers looked at data from the Connecticut Tumor Registry to identify 4,281 women diagnosed with ER-positive, HER2-negative, node-negative breast cancer between 2011 and 2013. Based on PREDICT1 estimates, they were able to classify the women into clinically low-risk (82.5%), intermediate-risk (11.9%), and high-risk (5.6%) groups. Of the overall group, just over half received ODX-testing (2,245 patients, or 54.6%), with similar distribution of testing within each risk group.
They found that ODX-testing did provide important, cost-effective decision support for patients in the intermediate- and high-risk groups. However, in the low-risk group, only about 3% of patients had results that would lead oncologists to recommend chemotherapy where they otherwise wouldn't.
"When ODX is used indiscriminately on patients where oncologists normally would not expect to see any benefit from chemotherapy, the test only contributes to cost increases, with a very low likelihood of changing management or outcomes," said Dr. Wang. "What's more, the use of ODX-testing on low-risk patients can create additional anxiety for patients and can unnecessarily delay the remainder of their care."
"I applaud any efforts to reduce unnecessary testing and chemotherapy in patients where there is no benefit," said Lori J. Goldstein, MD, Fox Chase Cancer Center, and Member of the NCCN Guidelines Panel for Breast Cancer. "However, the current recommendation in the NCCN Guidelines for use of ODX to determine the benefit of chemotherapy in patients with lymph node-negative, hormone receptor-positive tumors greater than or equal to 5 mm has been validated in prospective randomized clinical trials. While the present analysis raises some thoughtful questions, until future prospective randomized trials are able to further help confirm subsets of patients with no clear benefit from additional chemotherapy, the NCCN recommendations remain appropriate. The current costs associated with the ODX test seem justifiable based on patient benefit."

The January 2019 issue of JNCCN also features the debut of the journal's redesigned style. The fresh new look incorporates artistic renderings on the cover, new heading colors by article type, and a streamlined table of contents. More changes are coming soon to JNCCN.org to improve the reader experience and make additional research available online ahead-of-print.

You Don't Have to Know Everything. You Just Have to Know Where to Find It
Albert Einstein? Samuel Johnson? Sophonisba Breckinridge? John Brunner? Anonymous?
Dear Quote Investigator: The depth and breadth of information available on the internet is wondrous. Here are three examples from a family of pertinent sayings I came across recently:
1) I don't need to know everything; I just need to know where to find it, when I need it.
2) Never keep anything in your mind that you can look up.
3) Never memorize what you can look up in books.
These sayings express a fundamental insight into this age of vast knowledge bases and high-speed networks. The words were credited to Albert Einstein, but I cannot find any precise reference. There so much junk and misinformation about quotations. The prevalence of inaccurate data makes it harder to find correct information. Can you trace this general saying?
Quote Investigator: These quotations were not listed in the key reference work "The Ultimate Quotable Einstein" from Princeton University Press. 1 Also, QI has not located any evidence of an exact match in the words written by the illustrious scientist.
Einstein did make a remark in 1921 that was conceptually related to the quotation. While visiting Boston he was asked whether he knew the value of the speed of sound, and he demurred. Emphasis added to excerpts by QI: 2
He was asked through his secretary, "What is the speed of sound?" He could not say off-hand, he replied. He did not carry such information in his mind but it was readily available in text books.
Einstein's remark was about a single fact; hence, it differed from the statement under investigation. Nevertheless, it was possible to generalize and reformulate his comment to apply to the wider set of knowledge available in books. Indeed, another version of Einstein's response that was published in 1947 was closer to the sayings being examined. (Details are given further below.) Hence, the modern expressions may have evolved from Einstein's comment in 1921.
The idea presented in the quotation does have a long history before the computer age. Here are additional selected citations in chronological order.
A thematically related statement was made by the famous lexicographer Samuel Johnson in 1775 as recorded by his biographer James Boswell. When Johnson was visiting the house of a new acquaintance he eagerly began to examine the books in the library. The homeowner asked Johnson about his motivations: 3
"But it seems odd that one should have such a desire to look at the backs of books." Johnson, ever ready for contest, instantly started from his reverie, wheeled about, and answered, "Sir, the reason is very plain. Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it. When we inquire into any subject, the first thing we have to do is to know what books have treated of it.
In 1914 a periodical called "The Expositor and Current Anecdotes" printed an advertisement directed at clergymen concerning a book that could be used to organize clippings and references. The ad included a germane statement: 4
Educated people are not those who know everything, but rather those who know where to find, at a moment's notice, the information they desire.
Another example from that time period in 1917 was located by the researcher Victor Steinbok in "The Post Magazine and Insurance Monitor": 5
Someone has said that the cleverest people are not those who know everything, but those who know where to look for and find any information that is at the moment required. Which is only another way of saying that they have methodical minds and habits and know how and where to store their knowledge.
A longer description of the 1921 episode with Einstein was presented in the biography "Einstein: His Life and Times" by Philipp Frank: 6
While Einstein was in Boston, staying at the Hotel Copley Plaza, he was given a copy of Edison's questionnaire to see whether he could answer the questions. As soon as he read the question: "What is the speed of sound?" he said: "I don't know. I don't burden my memory with such facts that I can easily find in any textbook."
Nor did he agree with Edison's opinion on the uselessness of college education. He remarked: "It is not so very important for a person to learn facts. For that he does not really need a college. He can learn them from books. The value of an education in a liberal arts college is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think something that cannot be learned from textbooks."
Also in 1947 a reviewer in "The New York Times" discussed the book above and reprinted the speed-of-sound remark: 7
Albert Einstein was once asked: "What is the speed of sound?" Without batting an eye he answered cheerfully: "I don't know. I don't burden my memory with such facts that I can easily find in any textbook." Well, what is good enough as a reply for the greatest living scientist is good enough for us.
The educator and social reformer Sophonisba Breckinridge expressed the idea to a group of her students as recorded in 1958: 8
When I was studying at the University of Chicago, Sophonisba P. Breckinridge, that great social welfare leader who was one of my teachers, once told the class of public welfare administration, "You don't have to know everything, but you should learn how and where to find the things you need and want to know."
In 1968 the award-winning science fiction author John Brunner extrapolated several trends into the future in his influential work "Stand on Zanzibar". In this novel a character named Donald described an ambitious program of self-study to another character who reacted skeptically: 9
"Stop. You've defined an area of knowledge greater than an individual can cover in a lifetime."
Donald explained that he was not planning to memorize large amounts of material:
"You don't memorise log and sine tables; you buy a slide-rule or learn to punch a public computer!" A helpless gesture. "You don't have to know everything. You simply need to know where to find it when necessary."
In 1970 Harold B. Finger, an electronics engineer working in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, presented a variant of the expression: 10
"Of course, you can't have facts for everything. The same thing is true here: you don't have to know everything; you just have to know enough to work out solutions or methods of attack."
In 1975 the SF author John Brunner published "The Shockwave Rider" which included prescient descriptions of computer hacking and a computer "worm". Brunner reprised the idea noted earlier in "Stand on Zanzibar" in this dystopian novel of the seventies. 11
"Ah, you don't have to know everything. You just have to know where to find it."
In 1978 an article in Science Digest printed a variant of the saying that suggested using human-mediated assistance: 12
"She didn't know the answers to a lot of questions, but she knew what she knew, and she never would hesitate to ask someone else for help. That's what she taught us young doctors: you don't have to know everything, because you can always ask someone who does know."
In 2011 a YouTube video about "Avoiding Mistakes in Clothing Retail Business" offered the following advice: 13
But I read recently, you don't have to know everything, you just have to know the person who knows everything. So be smart enough to hire the right person.
The GoodReads website has a page listing a version of this saying and crediting it to the famous physicist Einstein: 14
I don't need to know everything, I just need to know where to find it, when I need it
The webcomic xkcd published a two-panel illustration titled "Extended Mind" that did not contain a quotation similar to the one under investigation. But it did depict the dangers of relying on just-in-time knowledge. 15
In conclusion, Albert Einstein did make a comment in 1921 that was conceptually related to the sayings presented by the questioner. But Einstein's words did not closely match the modern expressions. Over the years a variety of statements have been employed to express the underlying notion, e.g., remarks by Sophonisba Breckinridge and John Brunner.

(The query above was written by QI. Many thanks to Ioan Tenner Geneva who sent the question that initiated the exploration of this topic. Great thanks to Ben Zimmer who asked about several similar quotations ascribed to Einstein. Also, thanks to John L Spouge for pointing to the Samuel Johnson quotation. Also, thanks to Lance for mentioning the remark made by Einstein in 1921. Special thanks to Victor Steinbok for the 1917 citation.)
Update History: On June 2, 2015 three citations were added: the Samuel Johnson remark, the 1921 Einstein remark, and the 1947 version of the Einstein remark. The bibliographic format was changed to use numeric identifiers. Also, parts of the article were rewritten. On April 8, 2018 the Philipp Frank book citation was added.

A quote is a quote if you quote
Dear Quote Investigator,
Thank you for your quality work. I am impressed by the depth you went to, to find who really wrote or said "You Don't Have to Know Everything. You Just Have to Know Where to Find It."
It seems to me a valuable quote, a deep thought that can make people wiser; I will use it in one of my posts, with your reference.
It is not in usage yet to senf flowers to internet sites when they contribute with value, as you do by keeping great authors alive. Instead I coined for you (I believe I did, but please check) two "quotables", a compliment to express in short the work you do:
"A quote is a quote, if you quote" If not it's stollen feathers
"You know a quote when you know its parents"
Use them freely or forget them as you like.
The best to you,
Ioan Tenner, Geneva

The earliest reference I know with the intent of the quotation is Samuel Johnson, somewhat earlier than the 20th century internet references given.
Here is a link with the quote I remember

Garson O'Toole says:
John L Spouge: Thanks for sharing that valuable quotation on the theme.
I'm guessing this is a misattribution owing to an authentic related quote. It appears that Einstein did say "[I do not] carry such information in my mind since it is readily available in books. …The value of a college education is not the learning of many facts but the training of the mind to think." in a 1921 NY Times interview, according to a Wikiquote entry: http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein#1920s.
Lance: Thanks for visiting and leaving a valuable comment. I have examined the quote to which you have pointed. When I checked the May 18, 1921 New York Times I found that Einstein's comments differed from those reported in 1947 and in WikiQuote. Einstein was speaking in German and there may be more than one translation. I have looked for other versions of the quote in newspapers that discussed the event, e.g., in the Washington Post and Boston Globe. In the future when I learn more I do plan to add something to this post.

Hello all you lovely, fabulous, and unfailingly generous people!
Just a quick post today to show that I haven't been eaten by the abominable-spring-time-snowman, and to let you know that after all was said and done, we were able to raise $300 for the Georgia House Rabbit Society! This money will go a long way towards helping these amazing people give food, shelter (and most importantly) medical care to the rabbits in their charge. This donation will keep 3 rabbits at the shelter healthy, safe and happy for a full month, or will allow 4 rabbits to be spayed, and therefore become adoptable.
Thanks again for helping us to support this amazing charity, and shed a little light on the plight of the Easter Bunny. Keep your eyes peeled for new posts coming 'atcha ... there are big things on the horizon!


More than 350 children and adults of all ages attended the Run Wild 5K Walk/Run under sunny skies on Saturday. The backdrop was the Brookhaven Town Ecology Center and the event was held to raise funds to support the Brookhaven Wildlife Center and the Kaeli Kramer Foundation.
The Brookhaven Town Ecology Center provides veterinary care for more than 100 injured and wild or non-releasable four-legged and feathered wild and farm animals who reside at the Holtsville Ecology Site. The Kaeli Kramer Foundation provides refuge for horses and farm animals. In addition, the Kaeli Kramer Humane Education Center, sited at the Holtsville Ecology and Wildlife Center, brings educational programs to school children and the community-at-large with a goal of creating awareness about the compassionate and responsible treatment of animals. An annual week-long program offers hands-on learning experiences for elementary and middle school students, and features guest speakers, including veterinarians, SPCA officers, shelter dog trainers and wildlife rehabilitators. Further community outreach is provided to schools and colleges, a life-skills and animal care program for developmentally delayed young adults and a sanctuary for horses who have given a lifetime of service. Two former New York City carriage horses have been rescued and reside at the sanctuary.
The Kaeli Kramer Foundation began its relationship with the Town of Brookhaven more than eight years ago following the rescue of two wild Mustangs: Callie and Valor, who now reside permanently at the Holtsville Ecology Site year-round.
This year's 5K fundraiser was host to a wide array of events including dozens of gift baskets which were raffled to lucky winners, educational animal programs, and face-painting puppet show for children. Dozens of participants in the 5K Run/Walk ranged in ages from, 10 to 70 and older and offered bagels, fruit, health bars and water at the finish line.
To offer a contribution to the Kaeli Kramer Foundation, log on to www.kaelikramerfoundation.org and use PayPal, or, send a check made payable to the Kaeli Kramer Foundation to P.O. Box 1015, Melville, NY 11747.

County Commissioner Races
Things are starting to heat up, or at least show some signs of life, in the two contested Cecil County Commissioner races on the ballot in November. The signs are going up, the websites are being ramped up and the fundraisers are fast and furious.
District 5: (to replace the retiring Mark Guns)–
Republican nominee Robert Hodge has debuted a new website at http://www.hodge2008.com It is a lot more user-friendly that the earlier incarnation and has updated information. There are lots of photos and a slide show of the Hodge campaign in action, including a visit to our neck of the woods at the Hack's Point fireman's carnival. Glad to see attention being paid to us forgotten south county folks. Hodge will be hosting a campaign fundraiser on Sunday, Sept. 28 from 3-6 p.m. at Uncle Bob's Western Corral. Tickets are $25 a person and kids under 12 are free. Check out the website for contact information.
Democratic nominee Sharon Weygand has been sign-waving at Routes 40 and 213 in Elkton to greet voters, but our sourpuss friends at the Cecil Whig whined in a column by David Healey that the signs were too small. Wednesday's Whig has a good response letter from the Cecil Democrats. Weygand told an obscure state political blogger recently that she has $3,000 cash on hand and will have a fundraiser in October. (We haven't gotten up to Elkton yet to check out the financial disclosure statements on all the candidates, but we will as the season progresses.) Weygand was also in attendance at Tuesday night's county commissioners' meeting in Port Deposit. She asked questions about proposed new kennel regulations, which are aimed at big commercial dog breeders. Check out her two adorable yellow Labs on her website, http://www.sharonweygand.org
