Liberals, Tories unite to kill right to housing bill
The Liberal and Conservative parties voted together on Wednesday in Canada's House of Commons to kill a bill that would have added the right to housing to the Canadian Bill of Rights.
Bill C-325, An Act to amend the Canadian Bill of Rights (right to housing), introduced by NDP MP Rachel Blaney (North Island-Powell River), was defeated at second reading 42-243 with NDP, Greens and Bloc voting for the motion [1].
Blaney, the Party's Critic for Seniors and Deputy Critic for Infrastructure and Communities, explained that "in 1976, Canada enshrined the fundamental right to housing when the government of the day ratified the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, but this right has never been formally incorporated into Canadian law".
This bill would make it happen, according to the MP.
"Bill C-325 is about dignity," Blaney told the House of Commons during the second reading debate. "Human rights are that, moral principles.

I'm thrilled to announce a NEW member benefit for AAJA Seattle members.
Members in good standing are now eligible for discounted rates on classes, computer lab time and rental equipment at 911 Media Arts, Washington state's premiere non-profit for new media art and documentary film.
In today's tough job market, media professionals with multimedia skills have the edge. 911 Media Arts offers classes in video and audio editing, Adobe Creative Suite 4, documentary film production and web design and programming. 911 Media also rents video cameras and time in its Mac lab.
What does this mean for AAJA members?
Members can take advantage of the benefit in two ways: They can immediately get big discounts on 911 Media's classes, obtaining the same rate as 911 Media's members, who pay $45 a year for membership. In addition, AAJA Seattle will offer scholarships to professionals and students in 2010 to defray the cost of classes, equipment rental and lab time.
What classes can I take at 911 Media?
Check out 911 Media's website for the list. Bare Bones iMovie starts Monday, Feb. 21. Beginning Final Cut Pro starts March 11. "Integrating Photoshop, After Effects and Final Cut Pro" starts March 22. If there's a topic or skill you're interested in but don't see on their site, let AAJA Seattle know because 911 Media has agreed to develop customized classes for our members' training needs.
I'm unemployed. Can AAJA help with the cost of training?
There are lower cost online training sources as well, but AAJA Seattle has decided to offer three $250 scholarships to professional members this year that cover half the cost of their 911 Media classes. For student members, AAJA Seattle and 911 Media also are providing for two $500 scholarships that cover the entire cost of their 911 Media classes.
How do I make sure I get the discounted rate?
Go to the class listing on 911 Media's website — http://www.911media.org/education/classes — and click on the link to the class you're interested in. For example, click on "Beginning Final Cut Pro," and when the class detail page is loaded, scroll down to the bottom of the page where you'll see Google Checkout. You'll select the "Member Price" when you check out. 911 Media will verify with AAJA Seattle that your membership is current.
How do I apply for a scholarship to take a 911 Media class?
We will likely use the same process that we use for our other scholarships. Applicants will be required to write a 250-word statement that describes how the scholarship will help them in their career and how they could use their skills or volunteer time to benefit the chapter. Stay tuned for more details.
If you have any questions, send an email to aajaseattle@gmail.com and use keyword "911 Media" in the subject line. We hope our members will enjoy this new benefit! We are in the middle of our membership renewal drive, so if you could please renew your membership or encourage your colleagues to join AAJA, I would appreciate it. It's more important than ever before that we sustain our community of journalists and support each other.

For my senior Project I organized and hosted a fundraiser event, to benefit children in Jamaica. The organization I worked with was called (JAMPACT), Jamaica Impact Inc. a certified 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization. The organizations mission is to improve the social and economic conditions in Jamaica. For my senior project I wanted to inform people as well as inspire them; to remind them that Jamaica is more that meets the eye. Even though Jamaica is a young nation, its accomplishments speak volumes, and I just wanted people to see that.
The reason why I chose to have a Benefit to help children in Jamaica was because I always wanted to help children and what better way to do that than to have a benefit where all the proceeds go to the children, to provide books, food, shelter, and the proper education needed for these children. I also was born in Jamaica and grew up there for the first half of my life, and I was aware of the harsh living conditions in Jamaica, so that pushed me to work with JAMPACT (Jamaica Impact Inc.) a non-profit organization that was founded 11 years ago in New York, that is souly devoted on helping children in Jamaica.
I feel that my project turned out great it was everything I visualized when I planned on having a Benefit. It was lively but cultural and informative at the same time. I wanted to give everyone who came to my event knowledge of the Jamaican culture, I wanted them to learn something they had not known until that night, and I feel like they did. I wanted it to be inspiring thatÕs why I gave it the name Be the Change, because I felt that it doesnÕt take someone with an abundance of money to make a difference, all you need is someone who truly is devoted and cares, to Be the Change.
This experience has been so rewarding in many ways, it taught me how to be an event coordinator, which I had no knowledge of when I first started planning my event. It taught me how to be presentable in all kinds of setting. I will never forget this experience, every aspect of it. It drove me crazy some days but it was worth it.

Virginia General Assembly SB924 - #2670 - Breaking: Lt. Gov. Bolling Breaks 20-20 Tie -Abortion Centers to be Regulated - Family Foundation (2) Virginia Senate OKs Bill Cracking Down on Abortion Centers - Life News (3) Statement from Ken Cuccinelli on the Abortion Center Regulation Bill - The Shad Plank
We'll have more later, but today, after about 90 minutes of debate, the Virginia Senate voted 20-20 on SB 924, as amended by the House, to direct the Board of Health to promulgate regulations for abortion centers. Lt. Governor Bill Bolling immediately cast his constitutional tie-breaking vote in favor of the bill as amended. It now will go to Governor Bob McDonnell who has promised to sign it. What an incredible victory, thanks to all our legislators who voted for this Bill and especially Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling. For the record, a telephone call to Creigh Deed's office, Senator for my District #25, he voted against this Bill.
Virginia Senate OKs Bill Cracking Down on Abortion Centers - Life News - The Virginia state Senate has signed off on a bill the state House revived that would crack down on abortion businesses in the state and ensure they are following better health and safety standards. After a Democratic-controlled state Senate committee that traditionally kills pro-life bills defeated the abortion clinic regulations measure, Del. Kathy Byron, a Republican, on Monday put forward an amendment to SB 924, a Senate bill on health and safety regulations for hospitals. The amendment essentially attached the pro-life bill the Virginia state Senate Education and Health Committee killed earlier this month to the legislation. Because of the change to the Senate bill, it went back to the state Senate for a concurrence vote. After a long and passionate debate on the Senate floor, senators voted 20-20 and pro-life Lt. Governor Bill Bolling cast the tie-breaking vote to send the bill to Governor Bob McDonnell, who will sign the measure into law. Read more..... This is a view of what happened today and the impact it will have on the Abortion Centers in Virginia from a prospective you won't read in many other places. Please take time to read this.
Statement from Ken Cuccinelli on the Senate Vote requiring Abortion Centers to be regulated like hospitals in Virginia - The Shad Plank - Today, a long, hard-fought battle for women's health and dignity has finally been won in the State Senate. Just this afternoon, the Democrat controlled Virginia State Senate passed a bill which will require abortion clinics to meet hospital-style safety standards. This will mean that any abortion clinic which performs more than 5 abortions in a month will need to meet safety standards comparable to any other clinic which performs out-patient procedures. For over 25 years, Virginia abortion clinics have not been held to minimal health and safety standards. As a result, women who walk into these clinics are often not treated with the care and respect that any human being deserves. Our abortion clinics have not been held to high safety standards in the past - even issues of basic cleanliness have been lacking. As a result, women who walk into these clinics have been done a severe disservice.
It is interesting to note that in 1984 when the health and safety regulations were removed from Virginia abortion clinics, the Virginia Society for Human Life and notoriously liberal National Organization for Women (NOW) held their one and only joint press conference ever. They jointly objected to the removal of health and safety standards, asserting that women in abortion clinics would not get the quality of treatment and the respect of people in other medical facilities. And what an understatement that turned out to be. Obviously I am pro-life. While I regret the occurrence of abortions, I do want women in all circumstances treated with the dignity and respect that every human being deserves. The establishment of health and safety standards for Virginia's abortions clinics will not only help preserve the health and safety but also the dignity of women in Virginia. As a state senator I tried for several years to pass this legislation - and it is great to see that today, members from both sides of the aisle - and the Lt. Governor - realized the importance of this legislation and were able to score this victory for life, and the dignity of women."

Q: Preg_replace multiple searches in one string I'm trying to create a function for users to user a shortcode in there text for some basic information like published date, changed date, author etc.
In the string they will place things like
{datePublished}%Y-%d{/datePublished}

{dateChanged}%Y-%d{/dateChanged}

{author} writen by {/author}

I thought using a regex replace was the way to go, so I made this pattern:
$regex = "#(.*)([{]datePublished[}])(.*)([{]/datePublished[}])(.*)#e";

This works, but there is one problem. How can I loop the string containing all those different shortcodes through the different patterns, keeping the information intact.
This is my test string: {datePublished}%A %d %h. %Y %H.%M uur{/datePublished} {dateChanged} | laatst gewijzigd: %A %d %h. %H.%M uur{/dateChanged} {author} | auteur: {/author}
Any suggestions?

A collection of my novellas, A Scandal in Newport and A Wedding in Cornwall, especially for print readers!
Sophie and Robin are finally tying the knot! Join the Tresilians in this companion tale to A Song At Twilight, as they celebrate their prodigal daughter's marriage to the man she has loved through years of separation and heart-breaking obstacles. Meanwhile, Sir Harry Tresilian hopes that his sister's wedding will not be the only one in the offing. After a two-year courtship, he means to coax his skittish mistress to the altar at last. Will his cunning plan succeed? And what about that mysterious letter Sophie receives right before the wedding—could it possibly derail her and Robin's big day?
Aurelia wasn't hiding exactly. She just needed to get out of the crush of the ballroom—away from the people staring at her scar, pitying her limp. She was still quite enjoying the music from the conservatory. And then a complete stranger—dashing, debonair, kind—asked her to waltz. In the strength of his arms, she felt she could do anything. But both would be leaving London soon… When they meet again a year later, everything has changed. She's no longer a timid mouse. And he's now a titled gentleman—with a fiancée. Is the magic of one stolen moment, one undeniable connection enough to overcome a scandal that would set Society ablaze and tear their families apart?

CALAN - Bling
Sain SCD2577
'Folk with a bit of bling!' according to Calan's MySpace presence; but don't expect the gaudy gleam of rap or hip-hop here. Using the Welsh words for 'sparkle' or 'verve' might have served better in capturing the spirited energy of this young quintet. Exclude the folk instruments from their cover image and you might think you've a teeny pop band. However the very skilled young musicians here (playing fiddles, harp, accordion, piano, acoustic guitar, whistles, pipes and more) are far from that.
Arranging an array of mainly traditional Welsh tunes into 11 tracks, mainly as tune sets, with a fresh, contemporary and vibrant sound they are comparable with groups like Beoga, 422 and Tyde and share their manifest potential. Three pieces are reprised with bass (Maartin Alcock) and drums/percussion (Paul Burgess) although not fully realising the opportunity to stretch the material more by, for instance, further developing and syncopating the rhythms. In the main there are oodles of energy, toe-tapping catchiness and ample dynamic range. Vocals are provided in Welsh on two tracks to very good effect and, as with the harp, should be given more emphasis in future recordings.
The accompanying booklet offers two pages of basic information on the tracks and then a series of stylish images of the players with, perhaps peculiarly insightful, details of pet hates, desired 'supper' party invitees and guilty pleasures (nothing untoward!). With a recent appearance at the Festival Interceltique de Lorient in Brittany and support to Quebecquois trio Genticorum, Calan's future bodes well. More experience and absorption of further influences could lead and inspire them to interpret and adapt material, as is their evident wish, in even more interesting Lau like ways.

When a woman's hormone levels are at the right levels at the right time, there's a high likelihood of conception. The possibility is heightened if she is sexually active within 24 to 36 hours of ovulation.
For many women, pregnancy comes easy. For others, it comes with months or even years of struggle. Whatever situation you find yourself in, pregnancy testing lab panels at Test Smartly Labs could help.

The Battle of Luzzara
The Irish Brigade of France fights at the Battle of Luzzara in Lombardy on August 15, 1702 during the War of the Spanish Succession, a battle between a largely French and Savoyard army led by Louis Joseph, Duke of Vendôme and an Imperial force under Prince Eugene of Savoy.
Control of the Duchies of Milan and Mantua is the main strategic prize in Northern Italy as they are key to the security of Austria's southern border. In May, an Austrian army under Prince Eugene of Savoy enters Northern Italy and wins a series of victories which by February 1702 forces the French behind the Adda river.
In early August, Vendôme's army stops at the Austrian-held town of Luzzara on the right bank of the Po River. The total French force is around 30,000-35,000, including 10,000 Savoyards and five regiments of the Irish Brigade.
Eugene lifts his blockade of Mantua since these moves threaten to cut him off from his supply bases at Modena and Mirandola. Taking all available forces, around 26,000 men, he marches to intercept the French at Luzzara but arrives too late to prevent its surrender and establishes his headquarters at the village of Riva, north of the French positions.
Just above Luzzara, the sides of the Seraglo to Rovero canal have been built up to prevent the Po River flooding the countryside. Eugene plans to use these to conceal his movements and attack the French as they enter their camp. He splits his forces into two lines, the left wing under General Visconti, the right under Charles Thomas, Prince of Vaudémont and himself in charge of the centre.
During the morning and early afternoon of August 15, the Imperialists cross the Po River and manage to achieve a large measure of surprise in surrounding the French camp but are discovered shortly before completing this operation. Around 5:00 PM, Prince Eugene orders a general assault. The French are taken by surprise, some units marching into the camp and immediately out again to the front line but quickly recover. Eugene's right wing is repulsed no less than four times, while the struggle on the left is equally bloody, his Danish mercenaries nearly break through on several occasions. The French line manages to hold until sheer exhaustion and darkness end the fighting around midnight.
Casualties on both sides are heavy, particularly among the Irish units and Albemarle's Regiment on the right. During the night, Eugene entrenches his position and the French do not resume the attack the following morning.
The overall result is a draw, although in the practice of the times Eugene claims it as a victory, since he remains in possession of the ground. However, his forces are too weak to intervene as the French continue to take strongpoints. The two armies lay facing each other until early November, when both move into winter quarters.
Eugene is recalled to Vienna in January 1703 to take over as head of the Imperial War Council, while Vendôme continues preparations for the summer campaign. In October 1703, Victor Amadeus II of Sardinia, Duke of Savoy defects to the Alliance and Vendôme spends the next three years in Savoy.
In 1708 Prince Eugene commissions a series of paintings recording his victories from Dutch artist Jan van Huchtenburg, one being Luzzara which gives an indication of how he viewed it.

Birth of Luke Kelly, Founding Member of The Dubliners
Luke Kelly, singer, folk musician and actor, is born into a working-class family in Lattimore Cottages at 1 Sheriff Street, Dublin on November 17, 1940. He is noted as a founding member of the band The Dubliners.
After Dublin Corporation demolished Lattimore Cottages in 1942, the Kellys become the first family to move into the St. Laurence O'Toole flats, where Luke spends the bulk of his childhood, although the family is forced to move by a fire in 1953 and settles in the Whitehall area.
Kelly is interested in music during his teenage years and regularly attends cèilidh with his sister Mona and listens to American vocalists including Fats Domino, Al Jolson, Frank Sinatra and Perry Como. He also has an interest in theatre and musicals, being involved with the staging of plays by Dublin's Marian Arts Society. The first folk club he comes across is in the Bridge Hotel, Newcastle upon Tyne in early 1960. Having already acquired the use of a banjo, he starts memorising songs.
Kelly befriends Sean Mulready in Birmingham and lives in his home for a period. Mulready is a teacher who is forced from his job in Dublin because of his communist beliefs. Mulready's brother-in-law, Ned Stapleton, teaches Kelly "Rocky Road to Dublin." During this period he studies literature and politics under the tutelage of Mulready, his wife Mollie, and Marxist classicist George Derwent Thomson.
In 1961 there is a folk music revival or "ballad boom," as it is later termed, in waiting in Ireland. Kelly returns to Dublin in 1962. A concert John Molloy organises in the Hibernian Hotel leads to his "Ballad Tour of Ireland" with the Ronnie Drew Ballad Group. This tour leads to the Abbey Tavern and the Royal Marine Hotel and then to jam-packed sessions in the Embankment, Tallaght. Ciarán Bourke joins the group, followed later by John Sheahan. They rename themselves The Dubliners at Kelly's suggestion, as he is reading James Joyce's book of short stories, entitled Dubliners, at the time. Kelly is the leading vocalist for the group's eponymous debut album in 1964, which includes his rendition of "Rocky Road to Dublin."
In 1964 Kelly leaves the group for nearly two years and is replaced by Bob Lynch and John Sheahan. Kelly goes with Deirdre O'Connell, founder of the Focus Theatre, to whom he marries the following year, back to London and becomes involved in Ewan MacColl's "gathering."
When Bob Lynch leaves The Dubliners, John Sheahan and Kelly rejoin. The ballad boom in Ireland is becoming increasingly commercialised with bar and pub owners building ever larger venues for pay-in performances. Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger on a visit to Dublin express concern to Kelly about his drinking.
The arrival of a new manager for The Dubliners, Derry composer Phil Coulter, results in a collaboration that produces three of Kelly's most notable performances: "The Town I Loved So Well", "Hand Me Down My Bible", and "Scorn Not His Simplicity", a song about Phil's son who had Down Syndrome. Kelly remains a politically engaged musician, becoming a supporter of the movement against South African apartheid and performing at benefit concerts for the Irish Travellers community.
Kelly's health deteriorates in the 1970s. During a concert in the Cork Opera House on June 30, 1980 he collapses on the stage. He had already suffered for some time from migraines and forgetfulness which had been ascribed to his intense schedule, alcohol consumption, and "party lifestyle." A brain tumor is diagnosed. Although he tours with the Dubliners after enduring an operation, his health deteriorates further. He forgets lyrics, has to take longer breaks in concerts due to weakness and becomes more withdrawn. In the autumn of 1983 he has to leave the stage in Traun, Austria and again in Mannheim, Germany. Shortly after this, he has to cancel the tour of southern Germany and, after a short stay in hospital in Heidelberg, he is flown back to Dublin.
After another operation Kelly spends Christmas with his family but is taken to hospital again in the New Year, where he dies on January 30, 1984. His funeral in Whitehall attracts thousands of mourners from across Ireland. His gravestone in Glasnevin Cemetery, Dublin, bears the inscription: Luke Kelly – Dubliner.

Live Aid, a dual-venue benefit concert organised primarily by Dublin-born Bob Geldof, is held on July 13, 1985. The event is organised by Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for relief of the ongoing Ethiopian famine. Billed as the "global jukebox," the event is held simultaneously at Wembley Stadium in London, England, (attended by 72,000 people) and John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, (attended by about 100,000 people).
On the same day, concerts inspired by the initiative take place in other countries, such as the Soviet Union, Canada, Japan, Yugoslavia, Austria, Australia and West Germany. It was one of the largest-scale satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time. An estimated global audience of 1.9 billion, across 150 nations, watch the live broadcast. If accurate, this would be nearly 40% of the world population at the time.
In October 1984, images of millions of people starving to death in Ethiopia were shown in the UK in Michael Buerk's BBC News reports on the 1984 famine. The report shocks Britain, motivating its citizens to inundate relief agencies, such as Save the Children, with donations, and to bring the world's attention to the crisis in Ethiopia. Bob Geldof also sees the report, and calls Midge Ure from Ultravox, and together they quickly co-write the song, "Do They Know It's Christmas?" in the hope of raising money for famine relief. Geldof then contacts colleagues in the music industry and persuades them to record the single under the title "Band Aid" for free. On November 25, 1984, the song is recorded at SARM West Studios in Notting Hill, London and is released four days later. It stays at number-one on the UK Singles Chart for five weeks, is Christmas number one, and becomes the fastest-selling single ever in Britain and raises £8 million, rather than the £70,000 Geldof and Ure had initially expected.
The 1985 Live Aid concert is conceived as a follow-up to the successful charity single. The idea to stage a charity concert to raise more funds for Ethiopia originally comes from Boy George, the lead singer of Culture Club. On Saturday, December 22, 1984, an impromptu gathering of some of the other artists from Band Aid join Culture Club on stage at the end of their concert at Wembley Stadium for an encore of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" George is so overcome by the occasion he tells Geldof that they should consider organising a benefit concert.
The concert begins at noon at Wembley Stadium in London. It continues at John F. Kennedy Stadium in the United States, starting at 8:51 EDT. The overall concert continues for just over 16 hours, but since many artists' performances are conducted simultaneously in Wembley and JFK, the total concert's length is much longer.
Throughout the concerts, viewers are urged to donate money to the Live Aid cause. Three hundred phone lines are manned by the BBC, so that members of the public can make donations using their credit cards. The phone number and an address that viewers can send cheques to are repeated every twenty minutes.
The following day, news reports state that between £40 and £50 million had been raised. It is now estimated that around £150m has been raised for famine relief as a direct result of the concerts. Geldof mentions during the concert that the Republic of Ireland had given the most donations per capita, despite being in the threat of a serious economic recession at the time. The single largest donation comes from the Al Maktoum, who is part of the ruling family of Dubai, who donates £1M during a phone conversation with Geldof.

Death of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle, British writer and physician, most noted for creating the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes and writing stories about him which are generally considered milestones in the field of crime fiction, dies of a heart attack in Crowborough, East Sussex, England, at the age of 71, on July 7, 1930.
Doyle is born at 11 Picardy Place, Edinburgh, Scotland, on May 22, 1859. His father, Charles Altamont Doyle, is an Englishman of Irish Catholic descent and his mother, Mary (née Foley), is Irish Catholic. Charles dies in 1893, in the Crichton Royal Hospital, Dumfries, after many years of psychiatric illness. Supported by wealthy uncles, Doyle is sent to the Jesuit preparatory school Hodder Place, Stonyhurst, at the age of nine. He then goes on to Stonyhurst College until 1875. From 1875 to 1876, he is educated at the Jesuit school Stella Matutina in Feldkirch, Austria. Doyle later rejects the Catholic faith and becomes an agnostic. He also later becomes a spiritualist mystic.
From 1876 to 1881 Doyle studies medicine at the University of Edinburgh Medical School. While studying, he begins writing short stories. His first published piece, The Mystery of Sasassa Valley, is printed in Chambers's Edinburgh Journal on September 6, 1879. After stints as a ship's doctor and a failed medical practice with former classmate George Turnavine Budd, Doyle arrives in Portsmouth in June 1882 and sets up a medical practice at 1 Bush Villas in Elm Grove, Southsea. The practice is slow to develop and while waiting for patients, Doyle again begins writing fiction. In 1890, Doyle studies ophthalmology in Vienna and moves to London.
Doyle's first work featuring Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, A Study in Scarlet, is published by Ward Lock & Co. in November 1886. The piece appears one year later in the Beeton's Christmas Annual and receives good reviews in The Scotsman and the Glasgow Herald.
A sequel to A Study in Scarlet is commissioned and The Sign of the Four appears in Lippincott's Magazine in February 1890, the last under agreement with the Ward Lock company. Short stories featuring Sherlock Holmes are published in The Strand Magazine.
In December 1893, wanting to dedicate more time to historical novels, Doyle has Holmes and Professor Moriarty plunge to their deaths together down the Reichenbach Falls in the The Final Problem. Public outcry, however, leads him to feature Holmes in 1901 in the novel The Hound of the Baskervilles. Holmes is ultimately featured in a total of 56 short stories, the last published in 1927, and four novels by Doyle.
Between 1888 and 1906, Doyle writes seven historical novels, which many critics regard as his best work. He also authors nine other novels and, later in his career between 1912 and 1929, five stories, two of novella length, featuring the irascible scientist Professor Challenger.
He twice stands for Parliament as a Liberal Unionist, in 1900 in Edinburgh Central and in 1906 in the Hawick Burghs, but he is not elected. In May 1903, he is appointed a Knight of Grace of the Order of the Hospital of Saint John of Jerusalem.
Doyle is a supporter of the campaign for the reform of the Congo Free State, led by the journalist E. D. Morel and diplomat Roger Casement. He becomes acquainted with Morel and Casement and, together with Bertram Fletcher Robinson, they inspire several characters in the 1912 novel The Lost World. When Casement is found guilty of treason against the Crown during the 1916 Easter Rising, Doyle tries unsuccessfully to save him from facing the death penalty, arguing that Casement has been driven mad and cannot be held responsible for his actions.
Found clutching his chest in the hall of Windlesham Manor, his house in Crowborough, East Sussex, on July 7, 1930, Doyle dies of a heart attack at the age of 71. At the time of his death there is some controversy concerning his burial place, as he is avowedly not a Christian, but rather considers himself a Spiritualist. He is first buried on July 11, 1930, in Windlesham rose garden. He is later reinterred together with his wife in Minstead churchyard in the New Forest, Hampshire.

Death of Victor Herbert, Composer, Cellist and Conductor
Victor August Herbert, an Irish-born, German-raised American composer, cellist and conductor, dies suddenly of a heart attack on May 26, 1924 shortly after his final show, The Dream Girl, begins its pre-Broadway run in New Haven, Connecticut.
Herbert is born in Dublin on February 1, 1859 to Protestants Edward Herbert and Fanny Herbert (née Lover). At age three and a half, shortly after the death of his father, he and his mother move to live with his maternal grandparents in London, England, where he received encouragement in his creative endeavours. His grandfather is the Irish novelist, playwright, poet and composer Samuel Lover. The Lovers welcome a steady flow of musicians, writers and artists into their home. He joins his mother in Stuttgart, Germany in 1867, a year after she marries a German physician, Carl Schmidt of Langenargen. In Stuttgart he receives a strong liberal education at the Eberhard-Ludwigs-Gymnasium, which includes musical training.
Herbert initially plans to pursue a career as a medical doctor. Although his stepfather is related by blood to the German royal family, his financial situation is not good by the time Herbert is a teenager. Medical education in Germany is expensive, and so he focuses instead on music. He initially studies the piano, flute and piccolo but ultimately settles on the cello, beginning studies on that instrument with Bernhard Cossmann from age 15 to age 18. He then attends the Stuttgart Conservatory. After studying cello, music theory and composition under Max Seifritz, he graduates with a diploma in 1879.
Although Herbert enjoys important careers as a cello soloist and conductor, he is best known for composing many successful operettas that premiere on Broadway from the 1890s to World War I. He is also prominent among the Tin Pan Alley composers and is later a founder of the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP). A prolific composer, Herbert produces two operas, a cantata, 43 operettas, incidental music to 10 plays, 31 compositions for orchestra, nine band compositions, nine cello compositions, five violin compositions with piano or orchestra, 22 piano compositions and numerous songs, choral compositions and orchestrations of works by other composers, among other music.
In the early 1880s, Herbert begins a career as a cellist in Vienna, Austria, and Stuttgart, Germany, during which he begins to compose orchestral music. Herbert and his opera singer wife, Therese Förster, move to the United States in 1886 when both are engaged by the Metropolitan Opera. He continues his performing career, while also teaching at the National Conservatory of Music of America, conducting and composing. His most notable instrumental compositions are his Cello Concerto No. 2 in E minor, Op. 30 (1894), which enters the standard repertoire, and his Auditorium Festival March (1901). He leads the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra from 1898 to 1904 and then founds the Victor Herbert Orchestra, which he conducts throughout the rest of his life.
Herbert begins to compose operettas in 1894, producing several successes, including The Serenade (1897) and The Fortune Teller (1898). Some of the operettas that he writes after the turn of the 20th century are even more successful: Babes in Toyland (1903), Mlle. Modiste (1905), The Red Mill (1906), Naughty Marietta (1910), Sweethearts (1913) and Eileen (1917). After World War I, with the change of popular musical tastes, he begins to compose musicals and contributes music to other composers' shows. While some of these are well-received, he never again achieves the level of success that he enjoyed with his most popular operettas.
A healthy man throughout his life, Herbert dies suddenly of a heart attack at the age of 65 on May 26, 1924 shortly after his final show, The Dream Girl, began its pre-Broadway run in New Haven. He is survived by his wife and two children, Ella Victoria Herbert Bartlett and Clifford Victor Herbert. He is entombed in Woodlawn Cemetery in The Bronx, New York City.
Herbert and his music are celebrated in the 1939 film The Great Victor Herbert, where he is portrayed by Walter Connolly and which also features Mary Martin. He is also portrayed by Paul Maxey in the 1946 film Till the Clouds Roll By. Many of Herbert's own works are made into films, and his music has been used in numerous films and television shows. A Chicago elementary school is named for him. During World War II the Liberty ship SS Victor Herbert is built in Panama City, Florida, and named in his honor.

Death of Charles O'Brien, 5th Viscount Clare
Charles O'Brien, 5th Viscount Clare, is mortally wounded in the Battle of Ramilles on May 23, 1706. He is the son of Daniel O'Brien, 3rd Viscount Clare and Philadelphia Lennard. He marries Charlotte Bulkeley, daughter of Henry Bulkeley and Sophia Stuart, on January 9, 1696, at Saint-Germain-en-Laye, France. Henry Bulkeley is the "Master of the Household" for Kings Charles II and James II. Charles O'Brien and Charlotte Bulkeley have two children, Charles O'Brien, 6th Viscount Clare (March 27, 1699 – September 9, 1761) and Henry O'Brien (born February 12, 1701).
The family fights as part of the Jacobite Irish Army during the War of the Two Kings, before going into exile in the Flight of the Wild Geese. Charles succeeds his brother, Daniel O'Brien, 4th Viscount Clare, to the title as 5th Viscount Clare in the Jacobite Peerage on his brother's death from a mortal wound received in the Battle of Marsaglia in Italy on October 4, 1693. Charles is transferred from the Queen's Dismounted Dragoons where he is a colonel, to the command of O'Brien's Regiment on April 6, 1696. Later in the year he leads the regiment in the siege of Valenza in Lombardy, and the next year they are stationed with the army at Meuse.
By 1698 over one third of King James' army is either dead or crippled, and when the Treaty of Ryswick ends the war between Louis and William, James' soldiers are disbanded, unemployed, and homeless. Many become beggars but others join the Irish Brigade in the Spanish army, while others travel to Austria and enter the Catholic Corps.
Hostilities are renewed and Clare's Regiment is assigned to the Army of Germany for two years in 1701-02. At the Battle of Cremona in 1702, the Irishmen defend the town against Prince Eugene and the imperial army. The attack is to be a surprise but the Wild Geese foil the attempt. The following year Lord Clare is promoted to brevet Brigadier of Infantry on April 2, 1703. A few months later on September 20, 1703, the unit takes part in the successful Battle of Hochstedt, better known as the Battle of Blenheim. A year later the unit is involved with the unsuccessful battle on August 13, 1704 at the second Battle of Blenheim. Although Clare's Regiment experiences ups and downs, they are always admired. Two months after Blenheim, Charles rises to the brevet rank of Marshal-de-Camp on October 26, 1704, and a year later he is assigned to the Army of the Moselle under the Marshel de Villars. Clare's Regiment fights in the disastrous Battle of Ramillies on May 23, 1706, where they distinguish themselves with great glory, but Lord Clare is mortally wounded and dies at Brussels, Belgium.
Due to the great service the O'Brien family has given to France, and having risked all, King Louis XIV makes sure that the regiment is kept in the family, and appoints Lt. Col. Murrough O'Brien (of the Carrigonnell O'Brien's) as its commander until the minor Charles comes of age.

The Death of Art Ó Laoghaire
Art Ó Laoghaire, an Irish Roman Catholic and captain in the Hungarian Hussars Regiment of the army of Maria Theresa of Austria, is killed by soldiers near Millstreet, County Cork on May 4, 1773.
Ó Laoghaire marries Eibhlín Dubh Ní Chonaill, aunt of Daniel O'Connell, in 1767. She has been a widow from the age of 15 and is now 23. They have three children, Cornelius, Fiach and a third who apparently does not survive infancy.
Having returned home to Rathleigh House near Macroom, Cork, the hot-tempered Ó Laoghaire becomes involved in a feud with a protestant landowner and magistrate, Abraham Morris of Hanover Hall, Macroom. When Morris is High Sheriff of County Cork in 1771, he lays charges against Ó Laoghaire following his alleged attack on Morris and the wounding of his servant on July 13, 1771 at Hanover Hall. In October of that year, Ó Laoghaire is indicted in his absence, and Morris offers a 20 guinea reward for his capture.
The feud between the two men continues and in 1773, Morris demands that Ó Laoghaire sell him the fine horse that Ó Laoghaire had brought back from his service in the Austro-Hungarian army for £5. The Penal Laws state that no Catholic might own a horse worth more than £5 and could be forced to sell a more valuable one on demand to any Protestant at this price. Ó Laoghaire refuses to sell and challenges Morris to a duel, which Morris declines. Morris uses, or misuses, his position as magistrate to persuade his fellow magistrates to proclaim Ó Laoghaire an outlaw, who can then legally be shot on sight. Morris leads a contingent of soldiers that track Ó Laoghaire down to Carrignanimma on May 4, 1773. He gives the order to fire on Ó Laoghaire. The first shot, which kills him, is fired by a soldier called Green.
Morris and the soldiers are held to be guilty of Ó Laoghaire's murder by a coroner's inquest on May 17, but Morris is acquitted of the murder by Cork magistrates on September 6, 1773. Morris is shot in Cork on July 7 by Ó Laoghaire's brother Cornelius, who sees Morris at a window of a house in Hammond's Lane where he is lodging. He fires three shots, wounding Morris. The shots are not immediately fatal, but Morris dies in September 1775, presumably as the result of the shooting. The soldier Green is decorated for his "gallantry."
Ó Laoghaire's wife Eibhlín Dubh Ní Chonaill composes the long poem "Caoineadh Airt Uí Laoghaire" (Lament for Art O'Leary), mourning his death and calling for revenge.
Ó Laoghaire's tomb at Kilcrea Friary has the epitaph likely composed by his widow:
Lo Arthur Leary, generous, handsome, brave,
Slain in his bloom lies in this humble grave.

Wait. Did Rory actually give this giant diamond to Erica Stoll?
Remember last week, when McIlroy Instagrammed out a photo of the Eiffel Tower, and then everyone lost their minds and started saying he had proposed to girlfriend Erica Stoll?
At that point, despite mass speculation, I just wasn't buying it. I, too, have been to the Eiffel Tower and I did not get engaged while there. Tower to ring seemed like a bit of a stretch.
But then I saw this photo popping up on Twitter.
Check it out zoomed in.
The couple was at a charity event in Belfast, Ireland. And yeah, they looked super cute and all that – but look at that rock! Giant diamond on the left ring finger, that looks like an engagement ring to me.
McIlroy hasn't said anything officially confirming or denying the reports.
But the reports from last week, coupled with this photo… you can do your own mental math, but I'm thinking Rory's officially off the market. Again.

Going beyond Black History Month
Vanessa Madonna, Staff Writer|February 13, 2015
Unity. This is what needs to happen in our society during Black History Month to bring our country into much needed harmony.
Since its evolution from "Negro History Week" to "Black History Month," February is a time for ongoing reflection and action for the preservation of historical data that has molded our country.
The observance of Black History Month is not as effective as it should be. After the history of Black Americans in our country is taught through various methods in our elementary school system, the concept and value of its importance dwindles. The celebration of Black History Month is not only meaningful to African-Americans, their history and contribution to society, it is to educate and highlight how this group of individuals was crucial to the formation of the core principles of our nation.
"(February's observance is) a time to focus and reflect in kind of a systematic way or a way that's more public," said Adrienne Israel, history professor and vice president for academic affairs and academic dean.
Israel also contends that the depth of Black American history is as important as its scope.
It diminishes the confidence we place on certain cultures when assumptions and stereotypical inferences become prominent barriers to unity. With the explosion of the Internet and social media, it appears prior beliefs foster negativity.
"Have everyone change how they view African-Americans, including themselves, and give them a voice back," said senior LaCrisha Kaufman, when questioned about how we can help encourage African-Americans to take a more proactive role in society.
The civil rights movement is not the only topic that should be supported during the month of February. It is important to promote African-American contributions to the arts, science and technology, as advancements in these areas often go unrecognized.
In a similar vein, Damon Akins, associate professor of history, comments on contributing to society.
"There's still an incredible amount of entrenched racism and white privilege that prohibits people from participating in the polity (politically organized unit) in the way they want," said Akins.
Another part of society that has a huge influence is media, which often portrays minorities in unflattering roles.
"Things are changing, but I think our media tends to portray African-Americans in a negative light, and I think it's something that really needs to be changed," said junior Fiona Lloyd-Muller. "Often in TV shows or movies or media like that you see very few leading characters who are black or even of color."
Many young people, while learning about black history in school, don't fully appreciate the significance its impact has on our society and their future. Without this understanding, our younger generation prevents themselves from truly accepting an inclusive civilization. Is there more we can do to garner a more proactive approach to enlightening the public?
It's time for positive and powerful leading roles, as well as positions for media executives, to be offered to more minorities.
Unfortunately, racism is part of our country's history. Without acknowledging and addressing this evil in our community, we cannot prosper and strengthen our democracy. Putting aside racial and political motivations and targeting the significant issues we face is mandatory.
Junior Yashua Clemons states the importance of focusing on black culture this month.
"(It's so) people know about black history, how it affects the United States as a whole and the effect it has on current black people now," said Clemons.
Expanding the discussion of black history throughout the year could encourage a more substantial universal approach to improvement.
Dr. John Henrik Clarke, a notable African-American historian, scholar and teacher in the 20th century commented on this issue.
"History is not everything … (it is) a compass they (people) use to find themselves on the map of human geography," said Clarke. "It tells them where they are but more importantly what they must be."

In the early 1900s my family, with its two small boys, lived on a farm on a North Dakota homestead. Spending our first vacation in Iowa with our parents in the old farm home at Christmastime was a great joy to us. We arrived the day before Christmas, so we could be present for the Christmas program at our country church.
We rode to the church in a bobsled with high sideboards and spring seats along the sides. In the bottom was a carpet of bright straw. The team had red tassels on their bridles and a string of sleigh bells on the harness.
After walking down the aisle of the church, seeing the bright lamps in their brackets, we found a seat facing the tree. It was a big tree decorated with waves of tinsel, colored paper ropes, and ornaments. Gifts were piled at the base. After the program and music, the gifts were passed, and then the benediction closed the program.
My 4-year-old son, happy with the evening, turned a somersault in the pew beside me, causing a few people to smile as he exclaimed, "Well, the show is over."

I'm a microbial ecologist that is primarily interested in
understanding the ecological causes and consequences of plant-microbe
interactions. Like many ecologists these days, my research spans the
gamut from field to lab to laptop. Often the work involves collecting
some leaves from plants in the field or from plants in a greenhouse,
and then culturing from those leaves the fungi that live
asymptomatically within them (a.k.a. endophytic fungi). Sometimes
studying these communities relies on culturing the organisms in Petri
dishes, and sometimes on directly extracting the DNA or RNA from the
samples and sequencing that. One of the hardest things for me has been
simply keeping track of what samples came from where, when, and who
did what to which samples. To give an example: Let's say I've got a
fungal culture growing in a Petri dish, and I want to know how many
times it has been subcultured (that is, regrown from an existing
culture), when those subculturing events happened, what kind of plant
tissue the original progenitor culture came from, and where that plant
tissue itself came from out in the field. Oh and then downstream, I
also want to know something about all the other such fungi that came
out of that same plant and all their metadata as well. And I want to
be able to get all of that programmatically.

Keeping track of this type of information is simple enough with dozens
or even hundreds of samples. But with thousands, or even tens of
thousands, it becomes untenable without a better system. So, as part
of my postdoc, I invested some of my time in building a relational
database to track all of this information for my own research
projects. I had used SQL commands to query databases before for other
projects, but I had never designed and implemented a database of my
own. It seemed like building a small custom database would be a good
solution to my problem and would help me develop a skill worth having.

The first part of designing a database is thinking long and hard about
a schema (basically the blueprint for the database's structure). While
relational databases allow you to represent highly complex datasets
and the connections between and within different types of data, they
are not nearly as flexible as a simple spreadsheet. Once they are
built, it's not trivial (although definitely possible) to change their
structure. This is why having a good long think on how you'd like to
represent your data within the database is really important. I found
the macOS program [OmniGraffle](https://www.omnigroup.com/omnigraffle)
really helpful for putting this diagram together, but any vector
drawing program (or pen and paper) would work.

Here's an example of a
draft
[Entity Relationship Diagram](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity%E2%80%93relationship_model) I
made to think about different types of data I work with in my research and their relationships:

![](/images/blog/hand-crafted-databases/entity-relationship-diagram.png)

The first key step is to think about the different kinds of things
you'd like to incorporate in the database. Each table in the database
should represent only one type of thing, along with its associated
metadata (see for
example
[Figure 1 here](http://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1005097#pcbi-1005097-g001)).
Not all tables have to be for tracking physical objects (e.g. plant
samples, fungal cultures) though. One of the conventions I found useful
was to have a table to track the events or actions that occurred to
objects. So for example, there was one table for fungal cultures, and
another for culture events. In the events table, I logged
observations, subculturing events, DNA extraction events, and so on,
and then each of these is linked back to one and only one culture in
the culture table. The key advantage of this setup vs just adding
these additional details to columns in a spreadsheet is that it allows
for an arbitrarily large number of observations for any culture.

Once you decide on the tables, then you can think about what type of
information goes within each table and the practical work of creating
the primary and foreign keys that link them all together. A piece of
advice: consider using [UUIDs](https://blog.codinghorror.com/primary-keys-ids-versus-guids/) for your primary and foreign keys. Might
be a little more complicated than using integers as unique
identifiers, but are less likely to cause problems in the future. And
then you can use `grep` across all your datasets because the IDs are
globally unique.

![](/images/blog/hand-crafted-databases/tables-small.png)

I started out by building a simple database
using [FileMaker Pro](http://www.filemaker.com/products/). I had used
the software as an undergrad, and was attracted by the ability to use
it to serve mobile-ready interfaces (in other words they had a free
add-on iOS app). I read, and highly recommend the book
*[FileMaker Training Series: Advanced](http://www.filemaker.com/learning/training/fts.html)*
for an accessible overview of how to think about designing relational
databases even if you aren't using FileMaker. In the end though, I
decided not to keep using it, and transitioned everything over into
a [SQLite](https://sqlite.org/) database. The primary rationale was
that SQLite is non-proprietary, file-based (don't need a server), and
could easily be transitioned into a more complex relational database
system (e.g. [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org/)) in the future
if needed. Plus SQLite plays really nicely with R and Python, which
made scripting custom interfaces much more straightforward, and as a
bonus is used
in
[Data Carpentry](http://www.datacarpentry.org/sql-ecology-lesson/) [lessons](http://www.datacarpentry.org/R-ecology-lesson/06-r-and-sql.html).
While I currently use the
commercial
[Navicat software](https://www.navicat.com/products/navicat-for-sqlite) to
ingest data into the database as I add to the spreadsheets that make
up its tables, I am slowly working on developing a custom scripted
interface to automate particular types of occurrence (returning from a
field sample collection expedition, for example). In
R,
[dplyr works directly with SQLite](https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/dplyr/vignettes/databases.html) so
you can write queries in native dplyr syntax. In Python, I've had good
success with
the [sqlite3 library](https://docs.python.org/2/library/sqlite3.html).

Things I wish I had known about designing a database (and about doing science):

1. Think about your schema before you start. It will change over time
   as you learn about your system and as your projects evolve, but
   externalizing your mental understanding on paper, on a whiteboard,
   or on a screen can be really helpful for clarifying what type of
   data and metadata you will need to collect and when. The easiest
   way to do this is to start with the simplest case and build out
   from there.
2. Think about the type of projects you want to be working on in 5-10
   years. Most likely the particular technologies we'll all be reliant
   on then don't exist yet. Invest in learning tools that will be
   flexible enough to handle this unknown future landscape.
3. Tidy data is great for more than just using
   the
   [R tidyverse](https://mran.microsoft.com/web/packages/tidyverse/vignettes/manifesto.html).
   It also enables pivot tables in Excel, relational databases of any
   sort, and processing with powerful and fast command-line tools. If
   you do nothing else, keep your data tidy and your data analysis
   life will be so much easier.
4. Taking a Data Carpentry workshop, or training to become an
   instructor, are great places to start building these practical
   skills and internalizing these mental approaches to data analysis.
   I didn't see how powerful these types of computational tools could
   be when used in concert until I started teaching, as a Data
   Carpentry Instructor, others to do exactly that. Teaching, for me,
   has been the best way to keep learning.

Q: HikariCP/Spigot: Exporting with Eclipse no maven I currently have a problem with HikariCP, I don't know how to export it in my JAR with Eclipse, note that I don't use maven.
If anyone has an idea, thanks in advance.
Error spigot:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/zaxxer/hikari/HikariDataSource

A: The problem you are facing happens because the .jar file does not contain the dependencies/libraries that you are using in development. In runtime, the plugin tries to load some third-party dependency classes but they are not found.
An easy solution to this is to select the option Package required libraries into generated JAR on the export menu. Here you have a screenshot:

Despite this, just an advice: I strongly recommend you use Maven or Gradle to manage your project build process and dependency import. The Maven Plugin that would pack libraries into the JAR file would be:
<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
    <executions>

Mrs. Lincoln's Boston Cook Book, 1884, 1892, with Dust Jacket!
Mrs. Lincoln's Boston Cook Book, 1884, 1892: First edition, 1892 printing of one of the most famous cookbooks of the United States, Mrs. Lincoln's Boston Cook Book, published in 1884 by Roberts Brothers, Boston. Probably the most famous American cookbook. Mrs. Lincoln's copyright was for 1883, and the first edition was published in 1884. This is the 1892 printing of that edition, with marbled brown, red and black boards and dark brown spine cover and binding. 536 pages including index, 24 pages of illustrated advertisements, AND 22 blank pages for additional recipes.
This copy is in astonishingly good condition. When we received it, the book was covered in a very tight oil cloth cover that was very carefully and skillfully attached. I've just taken the front board out of the oil cloth. I was amazed to uncover the original dust jacket, still on the cookbook. The dust cover is in fragments, but the fragments are all there. The hardback cover of the book is in absolutely pristine condition, with the gold lettering perfectly clear and the marbled boards still glossy. The pages are uniformly tanned, especially at the edges. Every page is clean and clear. The binding is perfect. The hinges are perfect. All of the "extra" pages are blank. There is NO original owner's name in the book, and there is no other writing. With the exception of slight tanning of the pages, this 127-year-old cookbook is in as-if-new condition.
Mrs. Lincoln's Boston Cook Book has a great subtitle: What To Do and What Not To Do in Cooking.
And don't forget to click on "Recipes" at the top of the VintageCookbook.com Homepage. You'll find one great recipe from many of the great antique and vintage cookbooks, including Mrs. Lincoln's!

Jai Ho: Could Getting More Fiber Help You Live Longer?
Hear fiber and you probably think of bran cereal, which doesn't exactly make you salivate. But new research suggests more fiber could equal more years. Analyzing data from nearly 400,000 men and women ages 50 to 71, researchers found that those who consumed the most fiber were 22 percent less likely to die from any cause during the nine years they were studied. Men were 24 to 56 percent and women 34 to 59 percent less likely to die of heart and infectious or respiratory diseases, according to findings from the National Institutes of Health's AARP Diet and Health Study, published today in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
Why fiber reduces the risk of early death is unclear. Perhaps it's because fiber lowers levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol, improves blood glucose levels, reduces inflammation, and binds to potential cancer-causing agents, helping to flush them out of the body, says lead author Yikyung Park, a staff scientist at the National Cancer Institute.
What is clear, however, is that participants only benefited when fiber came from grains, like oatmeal, cornmeal, and brown rice. Fiber from fruits, vegetables, and beans had no impact on death risk. "Whole grains are rich sources of fiber, but also good sources of vitamins, minerals, and other phytochemicals that may provide health benefits," Park says. And grains have powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties—another reason researchers say grain fiber is beneficial.
Clearly, "all fibers are not created equal," cautions James Anderson, an endocrinologist at the University of Kentucky-Lexington. "Different fibers have different properties." And while the latest study emphasizes grain fiber, past studies have found that fiber from fruits and vegetables can benefit heart health.
Soluble fiber: Foods high in soluble fiber, so called because of its ability to dissolve readily in liquids—include oat bran, oatmeal, beans, peas, rice bran, barley, citrus fruits, strawberries, and apple pulp, according to the American Heart Association. Soluble fibers have been linked to lower levels of "bad" cholesterol. Viscous fibers found in foods like oat bran and beans seem to work particularly well because they form a gel in the gut that slows down fat formation and absorption, says Joanne Slavin, a professor of food science and nutrition at the University of Minnesota and author of the American Dietetic Association's 2008 position paper on dietary fiber. (The Food and Drug Administration allows heart disease health claims for oats, barley, and psyllium, the fiber found in Metamucil.) Soluble fibers also regulate blood glucose levels, says Anderson. But most soluble fibers, except psyllium, don't have the laxative effects that many people associate with fiber, so don't rely on them for that purpose.
Insoluble fiber: High levels of insoluble fiber, too, have been associated with a lower risk of heart disease—perhaps through other mechanisms. So while there's an ongoing debate over which types of fiber confer which heart-protective benefits, the take-home is that no one should rely solely on soluble fibers to get the maximal heart benefit. The AHA lists whole-wheat breads, wheat cereals, wheat bran, cabbage, beets, carrots, brussels sprouts, turnips, cauliflower, and apple skin as foods high in this type of fiber. Unlike soluble fiber, it doesn't dissolve in liquids or form a gel but instead passes through the digestive tract pretty much unchanged. Because insoluble fiber hustles things along in the digestive tract, it's also a good source of relief if you're constipated. In addition, insoluble fiber (and to some extent, the soluble kind) may help you feel fuller and possibly help weight control.
