Sony CEO praises 'Abenomics' planBy YURI KAGEYAMA
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | October 12,2013AP PHOTO
Sony Corp. Chief Executive and President Kazuo Hirai, right, speaks Friday during a meeting with reporters at his office in Tokyo.TOKYO — The chief of Sony Corp., one of the best known Japanese companies, praised the country's prime minister Friday for his efforts to jump-start the economy and put the nation back on the global stage.
"From my perspective, he is saying all the right things," Kazuo Hirai, Sony Corp. chief executive and president, said of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who took office late last year.
Abe was restoring global confidence in Japan, he said, while stressing that delivering on promises with action was critical.
But Hirai was hopeful Abe would deliver, and he praised Abe as being more "visible" than his predecessors, including Abe during his previous stint as prime minister from 2006 for less than a year.
Abe is banking on policies dubbed Abenomics that center on structural reforms, easy monetary policy, relaxed labor regulations and free trade to return to growth. Still, he has not outlined a concrete plan that would overcome the challenges presented by Japan's aging population and shrinking workforce.
The prime minister has been aggressive in trumpeting his views.
He gave a presentation in English to woo the 2020 Olympics to Tokyo, a bid that proved successful.
He asked investors to "buy my Abenomics" in a speech at the New York Stock Exchange that was unusually flamboyant for a Japanese leader.
The benchmark for the Tokyo stock market has recovered since Abe took office. And Japanese companies have already reaped in one major benefit from Abenomics — a weak yen, which helps exporters, by boosting their overseas revenue when converted into yen.
The dollar has been trading close to 100 yen recently, compared to about 80 yen before Abe came to power.
Abe is also promising a corporate tax cut.
"He's more visible," Hirai said at Sony's Tokyo headquarters. "He projects a more confident Japan generally."
Sony has struggled in the face of intense competition from Apple Inc. of the U.S. and South Korean rival Samsung Electronics Co.
Its TV business has been losing money for nine years. Sony eked out a profit for the fiscal year ended March 2013, following four years of losses.
But the maker of PlayStation 4 video-game machines, Bravia flat-panel TVs and Spider-Man movies is trying to regain its reputation for innovation through new smartphones, digital cameras, a "4K" TV which delivers better image quality than today's TVs, as well as audio products with sound quality eight times better than a CD.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Worries about the outlook for growth in China and a slide in the price of oil pushed...

Reported by John Matarese - bio
Posted by Nick Dutton - email
(WTOL) - Many families are now spending $150 to $200 a week on groceries when a few years ago, we spent only $100.Prices are up sharply on staples from milk and eggs to chicken and cereal.But there's a new way to cut those costs with the newest form of online coupons.Mom cuts her Grocery Bill in halfHeather Tenney is a mom who has slashed her food bill hundreds of dollars a month just by using coupons.While we watched, she grabbed a box of spaghetti for 10 cents and a bottle of PowerAid for free."It's 10 for 10, and with the PowerAid coupon I get it free!"Her monthly grocery bill is what most of us pay in a week. She tells me "I spend about $150 to $200 a month for my family of four. A month? A month."Heather's weapon of choice: The newest type of online coupons, from websites like Coupons.com, SmartSource. com, and grocery stores sites. (Click links above)
You can also match your coupons to current sales at stores by joining websites like The Grocery Game and The Grocery Advantage, though they charge a small monthly fee. For a free blog that will connect you with weekly sales in the Cincinnati area, try MommySnacks. (Click links above)Fighting Coupon FraudHeather says a couple of years ago most grocery chains stopped accepting home printed coupons due to forgeries. But she tells me sites like Coupons.com now offer individually tagged coupons that cannot be forged....and stores are taking them again."Each time I print it, it gets a brand new code. Every two are different. That way the store knows they were not photocopied."Heather's other TipsHeather suggests you then sort the coupons into clear plastic folders so you can see them instead of stuffing them in an envelope.Why? Because "in a matter of seconds, I can see all my coupons at once."Coupons in front of her, Heather shops by price, not by brand...which is how she never pays full price for cereal. She says "when you can get them for $1 a box, 50 cents, a box, why would you ever pay full price?"So many people have asked Heather how she does it, she's now started an online blog called "Little Miss Know it All," where she shares her secrets.(Click links above)But before you clickMeantime, nationally known coupon expert Joe Daugirdas offers a couple of safety tips. Among them, make sure you are dealing with a legitimate website, like Coupons.com. He says you can tell if a site is secure by looking for a lock at the bottom of the screen - or an "s" next to the http web address. Not sure? Many on line coupon sites have reliability reports at the Better Business Bureau.And Joe says beware coupon sites that sign you up for things you don't want such as one site we found, which will charge you for a 2009 Entertainment Book unless you cancel.But while you surf for savings, Joe and Heather's final tip: Don't give up clipping coupons. The Sunday paper still has great deals.And if its a P&G Brandsaver Sunday, with deals on Tide, Downy, and other popular brands --you've struck gold. Before you go to the StoreDespite all the improvements, internet coupons are still not accepted by all stores. So call your local store and find out their policy, before you spend a couple of hours surfing for savings.That way you don't waste your money. I'm John Matarese.Privacy ConcernsA number of people have expressed privacy concerns to me. They are unhappy that Coupons.com, SmartSource, etc, require you to register, and in some cases require you to download special printing software on your PC.Why do they do this? This is designed to prevent fraud. The whole online coupon business went bust 2 years ago, because of fraud.The problem is that people were taking a 25 cent off coupon to Tide that expired in 2 weeks, for example, and "photoshopping" it into a $2.50 off coupon for Tide that never expires. Then they'd forward it to friends, who would forward it to more friends. Next thing you know, 2 million people have a $2.50 off coupon for Tide that never existed in the first place.Some people changed 50 cent off coupons to FREE, printed them, then went to the store to collect their "free" detergent, orange juice, etc. That's theft...its the same as shoplifting.Therefore they now make sure you can only print and use 1 or 2 coupons. You cannot change anything on them. And each coupon has a unique identifier, or "cookie," that --yes-- can be traced back to your computer.That to me is fair. Don't like the privacy invasion? Then stick with the Sunday newspaper for its coupons. You'll remain anonymous, unless of course you use a "preferred shopper" card at the grocery store, in which case you again have no privacy.

Get ready to retire on $190 a month
A survey shows that will be the average monthly income from what Americans in their 50s are saving for retirement.
This post comes from Fred Yager at partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
It seems as if every financial services company in the world conducts its own retirement survey and each one is more depressing than the last.
The most recent one comes from Wells Fargo, which says that most Americans in their 50s should be prepared to live on $190 a month, because that's all the personal saving they'll have to look forward to.
- Calculator:Are you saving enough?
Now, granted, the survey didn't take into consideration Social Security or possible pensions, which are becoming extremely rare these days.
But the point is clear: Wake up or be prepared to spend your retirement years living in a van down by the river, as the late great comedian Chris Farley used to say. Post continues after video.
The Wells Fargo survey polled some 1,750 middle-class Americans ranging from 25 to 69 years old, and guess what? Like all the other surveys, it found they not only aren't saving enough, but they're also underestimating the amount of money they'll need. That means they're more likely to end up working in retirement instead of playing golf all day.
According to the survey, most Americans predict they'll need a nest egg of $300,000 to live on for 19 years in retirement. Even that's a little low, considering we'll probably live closer to 25 or 30 years more after we stop working.
- Calculator: How long will you live?
Still, the average savings of 50-somethings is only $29,000, which comes out to an income of $190 a month over 20 years, assuming you're able to get a 5% rate of return.
Laurie Nordquist, co-head of Wells Fargo Institutional Retirement and Trust, said that even with Social Security or other sources of income, most people are not going to be able to cover basic needs with such a small amount of money.
Now, you probably think the recession is to blame for this lack of savings. But you'd be wrong. The Wells Fargo study found that this problem has been going on for many years and that people didn't save any more before the recession than they do now.
Who's to blame?
Where should we place the blame? How about on our ability to live in complete denial? According to the survey, only 33% of Americans have a detailed written retirement plan. Another 37% don't even know how much they'll need in retirement or how long they will be able to live on what they have saved.
You would think that the last two years would have shaken most of us out of our financial daze, but for some reason we still avoid what those AXA Equitable TV commercials tell us is the 800-pound gorilla in the room.
Still, I'm sure some of you think you might be able to retire. But when are you going to realize you need to take the time you have left to start making up that shortfall and create a retirement plan? Otherwise, you could very easily find yourself working through your retirement, which more Americans say they're doing anyway.
The survey found that 72% of Americans now expect to work through retirement. But to be fair, only 39% say they'll work because they have to, and the other 33% claim they're going to work because they want to. Isn't that nice?
I don't know about you, but I've already picked out my spot down by the river. Now I just have to find myself a nice van.

NEW YORK – It's fashionable these days for high-profile athletes and coaches to align themselves with organizations that want to contribute to a worthy cause.
Many of them do not donate their time and money until they have established themselves in their respective sport. That's understandable given the current economic climate. New York Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson and New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin are the exception to the rule, as they started to do so long before they made a name for themselves.
This past Tuesday evening in the Soho section of New York City, Tomlinson and his organization (Tomlinson's Touching Lives Foundation), which he began while a member of the San Diego Chargers, were the recipient of a portrait by pop artist Bermano. The proceeds went to the foundation and the kids who attended the event will be guests of the Jets when they play their next home game.
Tomlinson had never heard of the artist when he was told Bermano had interest in doing a portrait. In fact, the artist from South Africa left his career as a Las Vegas boxing promoter (he still has his license) to embark on a new career. He started a little more than a year ago. He admitted that he does not know much about what he calls "American football" but when his people told him about LaDanian, he was captivated. "The only thing I ever heard about him actually is what a humanitarian he is," Bermano began. "I don't care what he does on the field. What I do care about is that he's giving back to the community."
LT was intrigued not only by his work but by the fact that he makes sure at least half of the proceeds of the sales goes to charity. Bermano has completed 43 paintings and has sold five for close to $60,000. "He reached out to us," said LT of how they began the relationship. "We did some research and saw him give support to local people. He's really involved in the community and we thought it was a great fit to do this." LT could not avoid the inevitable football question as the Jets have a bye week after taking out his ex-team San Diego. With division games against Buffalo and New England coming up, he thinks the team is coming together at the right time. "We're set up perfectly going into the second half of the season. Our confidence is high. We got two division games coming up that's going to tell us where we stand the last half of the season."
The former head coach of Boston College, Tom Coughlin began the Jay Fund Foundation in honor of Jay McGillis, who developed leukemia while playing for the football team. McGillis passed away on July 3, 1992 after playing 10 games the year before as the starting safety. The foundation provides emotional and financial support to families who been afflicted by the disease. The fund granted more than $500,000 last year. At the world famous Cipriani's restaurant Friday night the "Champions for Children" hosted by WNBC's sports anchor Bruce Beck event honored Steve Sabol, president of NFL films and Timothy H. Shinn, president and COE of United Crane Rentals. Sabol has recently been diagnosed with cancer. Coughlin was supported by present (Eli Manning, Brandon Jacobs) and past (Sean Landetta, Howard Cross) New York Giants players. Coughlin pointed out how ex-Boston college players, some of whom play for the Giants, are very aware of the Jay Fund. "Chris Snee and Mathias Kiwanuka are interested in the Jay Fund and are interested in the Jay McGillis family." Current Giant and former Boston College player Mark Herzlich almost lost a leg due to bone cancer. Not only did he overcome the disease but he made it all the way to the pros. Coughlin was quick to point out that he made the team on his talent and ability alone. "He made this football team on his own ability. Nobody gave him anything. He's working as hard as he can to be better and better. His toughness comes pouring through. He's a football player. He's a physical, tough guy. That's what we want."
There is one main message that Coughlin and the Jay Fund wants to send to families that are dealing with cancer. "We're here to help. We're here for families who have children that have leukemia or other forms of cancer. They know they have a friend."
Both LaDainian Tomlinson and Tom Coughlin were in the forefront of their foundations long before they attained the level of success they have. Something that future athletes and coaches should consider.

Eddie's The Daddy
June 22, 2007 / Posted by: Michael K
People Magazine is reporting that the DNA results for Murphy Brown came back and Eddie Murphy is indeed the father. Sources close to Melanie Brown say that Angel Iris Murphy Brown is definitely Eddie's.
They said, "There was no doubt in people's minds anyways, least of all hers. It wasn't a surprise to her. She knew all along."
Eddie hasn't seen Murphy Brown yet and wouldn't comment on the latest results.
It's going to get ugly!
Above is Eddie shooting a movie near KFC yesterday. Pamela Anderson isn't going to love that either.

Thanks Angela
Oh, the minky just arrived! thanks!!
My makeshift clothesline -
My newest diaper with a cute fleece outer fabric. Soaker is sewn into the inner fabric and is 2 layers of MF and 2 layers of Terry. Seemed to do the trick today. I need to fix the elastic, though. I don't like the elastic I had - I'm going to change it out to other stuff I got. Otherwise it works pretty good. The inside is blue flannel and apparently needs to be washed a couple more times. Audrey was covered in blue flakes when I took the diaper off.
cute!!...I got some new fleece today from Joanns....getting a babysitter later this week so I can work on it!

Section Of Blue Ridge Parkway Reopened With Bypass - August 26, 2013
A portion of the Blue Ridge Parkway closed to traffic because of a 300-foot-long crack has been reopened.
The Asheville Citizen-Times reports that construction workers built bypass lanes that will allow two-way traffic between Milepost 376 and Mt. Mitchell State Park. The section opened on Monday.
The speed limit is down to 15 mph on the temporary lanes but the road is open just as the fall tourism season begins.
The Craggy Gardens Visitor Center and Picnic Area, located at Milepost 364, was also reopened on Monday.
It's anticipated that the bypass route will close again and the detour routes will be reinstated in November 2013 so construction can resume to permanently stabilize the slope and repair the area.
A crack that has closed a 20-mile stretch of the Blue Ridge Parkway in western North Carolina is getting worse.
Officials blame the additional rainfall this week for causing the crack to widen several inches and stretch more than 200 feet.
According to Andy Otten, project specialist for the Blue Ridge Parkway, there is another big issue. The northbound shoulder of the road is dropping
The problem was first noticed July 12. Since then, the parkway has been closed between milepost 375 north of Asheville to milepost 355 at Mount Mitchell State Park.
Only pedestrians and cyclists are allowed to pass through which has forced some visitors to adjust their plans.
"It is just part of the adventure. It is not a big deal," said Jim Burgess who was visiting from Charleston, S.C.
"We didn't check ahead of time, so we were surprised when we got here," added Jeff Marqusee of Washington D.C.
The closed portion of the parkway takes people to the Craggy Gardens area.
Engineers with the Federal Highway Administration will return to the parkway next week to begin drilling into the crack. Otten says their findings will help officials figure out how costly and how long construction will take to fix the problem.
"The hope is that we can get a temporary repair and stabilization in place so that we can open it back up to traffic by Labor Day," Otten said.
Once that happens, engineers will then begin planning a long-term solution.
To get around the area, you can take I-40 East to Marion, then North Carolina Highway 80 North back to the Parkway. Or, you detour using Highway 221 North from Marion to the Parkway for the Linville Falls area.
20-Mile Stretch Of Blue Ridge Parkway Closed In North Carolina - July 15, 2013
A 20-mile section of the Blue Ridge Parkway is closed in western North Carolina because of a crack in the pavement.
Park officials say there is a 2- to 4-inch wide crack running about 100 feet along the road. Parts of the crack are 6 feet deep.
Officials have closed the road between milepost 375 north of Asheville to milepost 355 near Mount Mitchell State Park because officials are worried about possible road failure. Officials say they noticed the crack Friday.
The parkway's chief ranger, Steve Stinnett says an engineer will examine the crack to determine how serious it is.
Stinnett said the ground below the crack is completely saturated and is starting to collapse. The area has been pounded by heavy rains for several weeks.

Went out of town with a couple of friends for some wakeboarding and skateboarding. My friends picked me up extra early so I didn't have time to come up with an outfit. I never bought the excuse "I was in a rush so I grabbed the first thing I saw in my closet." So what do you do when you're running late or feeling lazy to dress up? Reach for a basic and build from there.
What I'm wearing: shirt (Original Penguin), hoodie (Original Penguin), chino pants (Topman), sports watch (Puma Time), leather plim sneakers (Crocs), penny board (Urban Outfitters). Hype this on lookbook here.
Hoodie from Original Penguin | Shirt from Original Penguin
Sports watch from Puma Time | Sports watches look great and can be worn with almost anything. Whether you're going for a morning jog or a business meeting (depends on the color and style)—they're fun, sturdy and versatile. Available at the Puma Time kiosk in SM Mega Mall, Timegear and LTime Studio.
Hover leather plim sneakers from Crocs | I always feel 10x lighter whenever I wear these shoes! I'm digging Croc's take on the classic plimsoll sneakers. It has the look that I want but with the Crocs-kind-of-feeling on the inside—If you know what I mean. Haha!
Canon PowerShot A810 | The A810 has a 16.0 megapixel sensor and 5x optical zoom lens, which is a 35mm equivalent of 28-140mm. Uyyy feeling techie! Also available in black, red and pink!

A number of days ago, we showed you a video of the making of Cadillac's new commercial for the CTS-V sedan's Nurburgring run, which, incidentally enough, occurred a little over two years ago.
Claiming to be the world's fastest four-door sedan, Cadillac's time of 7:59.32 may not be anywhere near the neighborhood of some of the world's most exotic cars, but when it comes to four-doors, the CTS-V sedan is the standard bearer for running the legendary Nurburgring race track. And while the number is impressive given the circumstances, Cadillac doesn't see it as a competitive time, but as a starting block to which the company aims to push faster and work harder to improve on their time.
Then again, two years is a long time for a record to stand, especially in the auto industry where a technological race to be faster and more powerful is an everyday occurrence. There was even talk that a Porsche Panamera Turbo – another four-door – eclipsed the CTS-V's record by thee seconds with a time of 7:56. But despite not having the record anymore, Cadillac's time is impressive nonetheless, especially given the fact that unlike Porsche, the American brand isn't particularly known for its speed.

The Hollins swim team came into the 2013-14 campaign on the heels of a pair of winning seasons. With a returning roster that included a pair of All-ODAC performers, the team looked to continue their rise to the top of the conference standings.
The team started the season competing in three invitational and three dual meets, providing a quick opportunity for the newcomers to "get their feet wet" before they attacked the bulk of their meets after the Winter Break. Hollins finished the first part of their season with three top-ten finishes in their invitational meets. Despite failing to pick up a victory in their three dual meets, the Hollins team posted several personal bests and broke more Hollins records en route to gaining valuable experience.
When the calendar turned to January, the team faced many hurdles before even getting into the pool. The team had several members studying abroad and working internships that left the team a little shorthanded for their eight meets before the season-ending ODAC Swim Championships. The team rallied around one another to make a big push, winning three of their final five meets, toward the ODAC Championships. During the term, Hollins bested three ODAC opponents, setting themselves up for their final event of the season.
During the championships, Hollins placed a pair of swimmers in four different ODAC final heats. Meg O'Brien '15 (Chattanooga, TN) earned finals berths in the 400 Individual Medley and the 200 Butterfly. O'Brien enjoyed her best finish, 14th, in the 400 IM. First-year swimmer Hayley Caulfeild-James '17 (Willow Street, PA) capped off her excellent debut season with finals appearances in the 100 and 200 Butterfly.
The young team with just three seniors on the roster constantly improved during a season that saw 17 Hollins swim records fall. With a strong core of swimmers set to return, Hollins will look to use this season as a springboard toward future success.
Note: The Hollins University swim team earned Team Scholar All American Honors for the 2014 spring semester from the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA). The CSCAA presents the Team Scholar All American award to college and university swimming and diving teams who have achieved a grade point average of 3.0 or higher. The swim team's student-athletes were similarly recognized for their academic achievements during the 2013 spring semester. More »
The Hollins swim team posted a second consecutive winning season during the 2012-2013 campaign, the first time in school history the team has achieved this distinction. The 7-6 dual meet record came in the face of fierce competition in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC), and Hollins swimmers broke an astonishing 30 varsity records this season.
Maggie Dwyer '14, Sage Otto '13, Claire Webber '16, Grace Iaquinto '15, Catie Asip '16, and Meg O'Brien '15 each received Hollins Student-Athlete of the Week honors. Webber was named All-ODAC Second Team and Asip became the first female diver in ODAC history when she competed on the one meter board at Division I VMI.
In addition, the team met its goal of earning Team Scholar All American Award from the Collegiate Swimming Coaches Association of America for the fifth consecutive year. Read more »
The momentum achieved from all these accomplishments will propel the Hollins swim team into the highly anticipated 2013-14 season.

I was living in New Orleans when the David Vitter prostitution scandal first broke, and many of my progressive friends wondered when Vitter would resign — especially since a year earlier Vitter said that he was "a conservative who opposes radically redefining marriage, the most important social institution in human history." It turns out that despite cheating on his wife and breaking the law, Vitter would not only refuse to resign, but would be cruising to re-election a few years later. It turns out that Republican voters don't actually hold Republican office-holders to their own professed standards:
Vitter is clearly being boosted by President Obama's unpopularity in the state, and by Melancon's low name recognition. But a bigger factor may be a peculiar form of partisanship.
Within the past year, PPP has canvassed Republican voters in three states represented by scandal-dogged GOP politicians: Vitter in Louisiana, Sen. John Ensign in Nevada and Gov. Mark Sanford of South Carolina. (Ensign and Sanford both had extramarital affairs.) In all three cases, the support of Republican voters remained solid. Last year, when Vitter's embarrassment was fresher in voters' minds, Republican voters in his home state still gave him a 62-19 approval rating.
It's not necessarily shocking that partisans would support one of their own. But this doesn't apply across the board. When Larry Craig was caught in a gay scandal (no prostitution or even actual sex was alleged), Republican voters abandoned him in droves. And Republican officeholders didn't rally behind Craig like they did with David Vitter — John Ensign, then head of the Republican Senate Campaign Committee (before his own sex scandal broke) encouraged Craig to make a quick exit: "I wouldn't put myself hopefully in that kind of position, but if I was in a position like that, that's what I would do." Well, he hasn't resigned, either.
The truth is that for most conservatives "family values" doesn't mean much beyond discriminating against gays and opposing abortion rights.

Is behavior by college fraternities and sororities getting out of control? The 2013 death of a Baruch College student was ruled a homicide after he died in Pennsylvania during a so called fraternity ritual.
On Wednesday, a sorority at the University of Connecticut had its charter revoked after it was accused of forcing a member to lie on the floor, sizzle like bacon, and then drink alcohol until she passed out.
Now a fraternity at NYU, Alpha Epsilon Pi, could soon be getting kicked off campus. According to NYU, the 105-year-old international Jewish fraternity is facing violations such as serving alcohol to minors and "other activities that are out of line."
Dr. Susan Lipkins, a psychologist specializing in college hazing and bullying, said many colleges are taking the problem more seriously. She said it will escalate if people turn a blind eye.
Right now NYU's Alpha Epsilon Pi is not facing any hazing allegations. One student told Fox 5 the fraternity is actually good for the campus, often holding charity events. Others told me that their parties weren't out of the ordinary, either.

this is one of the few products I received that I didn't like. the waist size large was good but I'm 6ft. 1 inch tall and these pants were made for a 5 ft china man.
Ordered foe my wife she just loves them. Heavy weight and very warm.
Had one problem with one of the pants small hole in pocket and small hole in the inseam where the sewing machine missed. Was not to much of a problem to fix with needle and thread. The other pair just fine and very comfortable.
Pretty much what one would expect- nice light weight fleece cargo pants. However, the product description says " 2 "roomy" side-seam pockets". It would be just as useful for them to not even have side pockets as they are so small you can't really use them for anything. I can't even fit my whole hand in the pocket. And anything I've tried carrying in them has fallen out. Hence the two stars...
Bought for wife very pleased with them

Dental caries is the demineralization of tooth structures by lactic acid from fermentation of carbohydrates by commensal gram-positive bacteria. Cariogenic bacteria have been shown to elicit a potent Th1 cytokine polarization and a cell-mediated immune response.
To test the association between dental caries and head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
Design, Setting, and Participants
Case-control study in a comprehensive cancer center including all patients with newly diagnosed primary HNSCC between 1999 and 2007 as cases and all patients without a cancer diagnosis as controls. Those with a history of cancer, dysplasia, or immunodeficiency or who were younger than 21 years were excluded.
Dental caries, fillings, crowns, and endodontic treatments, measured by the number of affected teeth; missing teeth. We also computed an index variable: decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT).
Main Outcomes and Measures
Incident HNSCC.
We included 620 participants (399 cases and 221 controls). Cases had a significantly lower mean (SD) number of teeth with caries (1.58 [2.52] vs 2.04 [2.15]; P = .03), crowns (1.27 [2.65] vs 2.10 [3.57]; P = .01), endodontic treatments (0.56 [1.24] vs 1.01 [2.04]; P = .01), and fillings (5.39 [4.31] vs 6.17 [4.51]; P = .04) but more missing teeth (13.71 [10.27] vs 8.50 [8.32]; P < .001) than controls. There was no significant difference in mean DMFT. After adjustment for age at diagnosis, sex, marital status, smoking status, and alcohol use, those in the upper tertiles of caries (odds ratio [OR], 0.32 [95% CI, 0.19-0.55]; P for trend = .001), crowns (OR, 0.46 [95% CI, 0.26-0.84]; P for trend = .03), and endodontic treatments (OR, 0.55 [95% CI, 0.30-1.01]; P for trend = .15) were less likely to have HNSCC than those in the lower tertiles. Missing teeth was no longer associated with HNSCC after adjustment for confounding.
Conclusions and Relevance
There is an inverse association between HNSCC and dental caries. This study provides insights for future studies to assess potential beneficial effects of lactic acid bacteria and the associated immune response on HNSCC.

It is possible to call a man friend and still leave him dangling.
My AJC colleague Daniel Malloy in Washington just finished a telephone conversation with Gov. Nathan Deal that touched on the topic of U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss and his 2014 re-election bid. It went something like this:
Malloy: "There is a lot of talk going around the state about Saxby Chambliss getting a Republican primary challenge. Would you support him if he does?"
Deal: "It's way too early to be picking winners and losers and people that you're going to support and not support. He's a friend of mine. I served with him in the U.S. House and he will continue to be a friend of mine."
Sounds like a definite maybe.
On a similar note, Public Policy Polling of North Carolina was in the field over the weekend with a Georgia poll focused on Chambliss. We haven't seen the results yet, but PPP just tweeted this:
The only Republican who gets anywhere close to Saxby Chambliss in a one on one primary at this point? Herman Cain.
Cain, of course, says he's not interested.

I would drop EVERYTHING to support Herman Cain.

First of all nobody has told SHADY deal what to say…
Nuff said.
My shellacking forecast.
Shady crooked deal….5 of 5 shellacking's and a Ethics charge.
Saxby 4 out of 5 shellacking's. And a free pizza.
Over all a GA. GOP (crooked slime balls) shellacking. Free Pizza!

Not exactly a ringing endorsement.
December 3rd, 2012
6:45 pm
God help us if Cain is elected. Georgia has become a backward state, worse than Mississippi and Alabama. We have a true statesman as a Senator but we criticize him because he is not right wing enough. And why should we care if our crook of a governor endorses Chambliss or not? Our state is becoming a laughingstock. No wonder we are the most corrupt state in the country.
December 3rd, 2012
6:46 pm
Saxby will need to pony up a "Deal" for Nathan.
December 3rd, 2012
6:49 pm
And precisely what has deal done to make him not feel any heat in 2014?
Is being a failure while kissing up to the nuttiest of conserrrrrvatives now all that is required to be considered a 'leader' in our State?
December 3rd, 2012
8:17 pm
What a crazy cast of characters. Don't we have any reasonable alternatives?
December 3rd, 2012
8:22 pm
all republican most go now
December 3rd, 2012
8:30 pm
The only Republican who gets anywhere close to Saxby Chambliss in a one on one primary at this point? Herman Cain.
I'm just wondering which one is more insulted, chambliss because he's put in the same class as cain, or cain because he's considered no better than chambliss.

The Channel 4 I-Team has uncovered that 944 people, including inmates and possibly their families, are being investigated by the state for cashing in on unemployment checks.
A 2012 state law forbids anyone who is incarcerated for four days in a week's time from getting unemployment.
But a new tracking system found last week that 944 prisoners received unemployment checks worth a total of $1.06 million.
"Wow. That's crazy. People getting checks in jail? That's crazy," said Nathan Haynes, who is currently looking for a job.
The state department of labor is investigating if the inmates, in jails and in prisons, had people on the outside who used their personal information to register for unemployment benefits, even after they were incarcerated.
"These are people wanting to work the system, right?" asked chief investigative reporter Jeremy Finley.
"Basically, yes," said Dr. Turner Nashe Jr., state department of labor assistant administrator for the employment security division.
"A million dollars is a lot of money, and if it's going out the door, we want to get it back," Nashe said.
"I think they should find them as soon as possible and get all the checks back," Haynes said.
"If there is someone who is an inmate that's trying to fraud the system, then I think they should be pulled to the side and it should stop. Because there are people like me, I'm not trying to fraud the system and I actually need this to survive," said Charity Everett, who is receiving unemployment benefits.

September 10 is apple's big day.
Apple invited us all to this year's major product launch with a colorful e-mail last week.
They will be streaming their September 10 event live online for everyone to see the unveiling of the new version of the iPhone and much more.
The iPhone 5S is expected to be released, but a gold iPhone is also expected to be featured.
Apple is also rumored to be releasing a new more affordable iPhone 5 with a plastic back and several different color choices.
Many tech gurus think the colored iPhones helped inspire the creation of the invitation for this year's event.
In addition, we should learn more about the new iOS 7 system.
It's going to be compatible with all apple products--iPhone, iPod, iPad--it's got a completely new modernized look.
It's supposed to be the fastest system yet.
Technically this system has already been announced, but it should be a big topic of discussion at Tuesday's event.
Last year's new iOS system was available one week after the major product launch, so expect this one to available starting around September 17.
Watch the event on Tuesday at Apple.com

Bobby's Burger Palace, Paramus, NJ
Bobby Flay is one of the best-known stars on the Food Network and I've been watching him since his beginnings on his original show, Boy Meets Grill, when he fumbled a few lines. His fame has grown, as have his restaurant holdings and talents, and one often wonders if the celebrity chef's restaurants are as good as they should be. We've been to a few places that have been featured on the Food Network. I've had this place on my short list for quite some time now and the opportunity presented itself to stop by. And no, I did not expect Bobby Flay to be in the back cooking my burger, but it would have been cool if he were there.
There are five locations, and the restaurant we went to was in the Bergen Town Center, an outlet Mall off Route 4. The restaurant entrance is from outside the mall and we saw there was a line to get in. The line moved fairly fast and next thing we knew we were at the counter. You place your order and pay. They give you a number for the table (so they know where to bring the food) and you move to a short line where a server directs you to an open seat. For two or three this seemed quick, but it may be more problematic for large parties. After being seated the food came quick. Even though the place was packed, we weren't there all that long.
The featured burger was the Chicago Burger with all the trimming of a Chicago hot dog, only on a burger. I went with my personal favorite and ordered the Bobby Blue Burger, medium (see top photo). It was cooked perfectly with pink all through the inside and nice juicy flavor running down the mouth, and all over my hands. There was plenty of blue cheese and some very nice crisp bacon, lettuce and tomato and a fresh bun. I had it crunchified (potato chips on it) and added some chipotle ketchup. The price? $7.50 for what was probably one of the best burgers I've ever had.
Teresa had the Dallas Burger (second photo) with cole slaw, Monterey Jack cheese and spices for $7.50. She ordered it cooked medium well and it looked perfectly done and she said it was. We shared an order of sweet potato fries for $3.00 and they were very good with a dipping sauce. Add a soda and the whole thing came to twenty bucks. Good prices, great food, and a neat dining experience.
So the question I had earlier was indeed answered. Bobby Flay delivers in his Burger Palace and he has created a great burger and trained the staff to deliver it as he intended. Like I said earlier, it would have been cool if he were there, but he didn't need to be. The final product was his creation.
By the way, the mall has a Whole Foods store in it so we'll be headed back to do some shopping and to try out some of the other burgers. You should try them too. The website has locations and menu and all that stuff.

Killer Cuisine, my new novel is out
A little self-promotion here, my new novel, Killer Cuisine is out on Kindle and will soon be available in paperback from Amazon. It's a little mystery, suspense, romance and humor, plus a lot of food.
The story features Ian Porthos Wallace, a kilt wearing food photographer and writer from Port City (Wilmington), North Carolina. Ian is asked by his friend Demos to help out a mutual friend who's been charged with murdering his boss, a famous French Chef. The evidence against Nick is strong as he was found hiding in the bathroom of the restaurant with blood all over his chef coat. Ian agrees to look into it and along the way he reconnects with his on again, off again girlfriend Athena, the sister of Demos.
Will Ian solve the mystery and get the girl? Find out by reading Killer Cuisine. Buy a copy and help support this page. You can find the link on the right of this blog, or click here. I'll post the paperback link as soon as it is available.

Fish and Onion Rings from Sweeney's, Walden
Sweeney's is a favorite of ours and we stop by once in a while for a quick bite to eat. They have a limited menu, which can be a blessing since it can make choosing what to eat easy. I usually get the buffalo blue burger or the fish and chips, except I make it fish and rings since they have the best onion rings anywhere. I have to say the fish is better than any I had in Ireland or the United Kingdom, except for a place in Camden called The Black Cap. The fish is flaky and moist, cooked to perfection.
Please note the obligatory pint of Guinness shown in the background. It is good, but so much better in Ireland, especially at the brewery.

Raccoon Saloon, Marlboro, NY
The Raccoon Saloon on Route 9W in Marlboro, NY has been around for a very long time. The mid-eighteen hundreds in fact and the name comes from a family of raccoons that used to live on the property. The restaurant has changed hands a few times, but they've had a reputation for making a very good burger. Years ago there was a sign in front proclaiming they had the best burger in the Hudson Valley. We ate there about a decade ago when that sign was up and I disagreed with it.
A couple of weeks ago my son said he ate there and the burger was excellent. I trust his opinion, especially since he inherited and or acquired similar tastes to mine so we went there to check it out. We went on a Saturday night during restaurant week so there was a special Prix fix menu that had an interesting seafood fra diabolo on it, but I came to try the burger so that's what I looked at.
I got the 12 oz burger with bacon and Swiss cheese and I got the onion rings instead of the fries. The burger was $11.75 and the bacon and cheese added another two bucks and a quarter to make it a fourteen dollar burger. Teresa got the 8 oz burger with fried onions and that came to $11.75. This is not a cheap burger, so I thought it had better be a good burger. It was. The meat was fresh and well cooked, the onion rings were good, and they use their own home-made ketchup which has a sweet taste to it.

Table Talk Diner, Poughkeepsie, NY
As I've said before, there are great diners, there are good diners, there are mediocre diners and there are bad diners. Table Talk fits somewhere between good and mediocre, a nice place but nothing special.
We stopped off the other day to try something different, we'd seen seen it on our last trip on Route nine and were seated fairly promptly. We were given menus and when we looked them over they featured fairly standard diner fare. The specials had quite a few fish dishes, probably because of the lenten season. They had a Kobe burger for six-fifty, but I seriously doubt that it would be real Kobe beef for that price. I was tempted to try it just to see, but decided against.
I decided on an Italian Panini, featured above. It came with french fries and had prosciutto, mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes and onions. What it needed was some moisture so I asked for some balsamic vinaigrette dressing and added it. Much better. Teresa had the vegetarian omelet with home fries and that looked and tasted good.
Bottom line, the food was okay and the service adequate. Not bad for a bite, but like I've said before; when in a diner get diner food. They have a website for more information.

Beacon Falls Cafe revisited
We went back to a favorite place today, The Beacon Falls Cafe, for lunch and it was every bit as good as the last two times we've eaten there.
I had the Beacon Burger, a simple burger with lettuce, tomato and red onions with fries. Teresa had the Chicken Quesadilla (second photo). The total for the two was just over seventeen bucks, tax included. Both were delicious and very filling.
What was interesting was that as we were eating Teresa looked at the window and saw that they had posted my review from a previous visit so I asked if Bob was in and he came out to meet us. He also brought us a plate of Rhode Island Calamari to try (bottom photo). It was a plate of fried calamari with some hot peppers and it was delicious. The calamari was cooked perfectly and there was just the right amount of heat to it. Overall, a great visit. If you haven't been there yet, what are you waiting for?

Coco's in Hyde Park, revisited
The top photo is the Spinach Wrap with fries and the second one is what they call the Best Ever Burger. The wrap was delicious and not greasy and it came with far too many very good fries. The burger had an abundant mix of three cheeses and I got it with onion rings. The burger was nice and juicy and the rings were just right.

Program description: The Bennington Graduate Writing Seminars Low-Residency program can be seen as the response of the literary sensibility to the realities of modern life. It is an alternative time calculation, realistically reflecting the seasons and rhythms of a writer's actual work habits. It offers considerable freedom to the student, but the student must be willing to practice a good deal of Emersonian self-reliance. At Bennington, freedom and responsibility exist on a continuum just as freedom and responsibility exist in a dynamic interdependence.
Read one hundred books. Write one.
Our motto is concise, but it expands in practice to embrace the whole culture of letters. It also embodies in its decisive cadence our sense of mission: to connect each student with much of the best that has been done, while keeping the focus trained on his or her own emerging work. Reading and writing make the bond between student and instructor, and also, significantly, with other students in all genres. The bonds proliferate and make a community, one that flourishes like the mythic Brigadoon during residencies, and then perpetuates itself other ways through the writing term—and beyond. There is nothing so rare, or fine, as a coming together of the most diverse individualities in the name of a common passion; there is nothing so exciting as watching the growth, change, and renewal of a community of engaged writers. If the boundary between reading and writing is seen to be porous, so, over time, is that between the writing and the life.

Local teens in border drug busts
least half a dozen Blaine kids landed in jail last week
for allegedly trying to smuggle B.C. marijuana across the
Richard Akers Jr., 18, Zachary Waters, 19; Nicholas Rinnert, 18 and two juveniles who are students at Blaine high school were arrested on suspicion of drug smuggling and conspiracy at 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 7, according to Blaine police. Deputy police chief Mike Haslip said two bags containing 40 pounds of marijuana were seized along with two vehicles. The marijuana has an estimated street value of close to $98,000.
Three of the teens were recruited to watch while the other two retrieved bags dropped near a trail on the Canadian side and were supposed to put them in a vehicle, according to reports from the Whatcom County Sheriffs Office. They were being watched the whole time by members of the Pacific Area Integrated Border Enforcement Team (IBET) who arrested them as they left the area on D Street. The youths will be charged for drug smuggling and conspiracy in Whatcom County Superior Court on Friday.
The lure of easy money continues to attract juveniles and we keep catching them, said U.S. Customs Blaine Group Supervisor Peter Ostrovsky. Last week, two 17-year-olds were caught with 52 pounds of BC bud in hockey bags on a similar smuggling trail in the City of Blaine.
Customs supervisor Roy Hoffman confirmed there was another seizure Sunday but details are not yet being released.
IBET is made up of law enforcement officers from the U.S. Customs Service, U.S. Border Patrol, RCMP Customs & Excise Section, Blaine Police Department and Whatcom County Sheriffs Office. All subjects are being prosecuted for violations of Washington State law in Whatcom County Superior Court.
With what seems to be a growing trend of local young drug smugglers, U.S. Customs is seeking additional information from anyone regarding juveniles in Blaine and Whatcom County thought to be involved in marijuana smuggling. Anyone with information should call 360-332-6725.

Scott Dornbusch€™s article on
buying a dump trailer (1/08) hit all the important points. I
currently own several dump trailers. The one problem
I€™ve had occurs when the job site
is close to the dump, which doesn€™t
give the dump-bed battery enough time to recharge before
it€™s time to dump again. Even the
largest deep-cycle marine batteries
don€™t give me enough power to make
several dump runs in one day. I solved this by switching to two
6-volt batteries, run in series. I expanded the battery holder,
which is located under the dump bed of the trailer, to
accommodate the two batteries. This gives me 12 volts to the
hydraulic pump, more cold cranking amperage, and faster
recharge. I can now make several trips to the dump in a day and
still have full power to the hydraulic pump on the last trip.
No more worries about raising the dump bed halfway, depleting
the battery, and having to unload by hand.

Thanks to Gary Striegler for the article about building arched
passageways (12/07). One of the hardest things for me as a
general contractor has been quoting complicated jobs like this.
How would I price it?
Rick Fisher Oakbrook
Home Improvement
Winchester, Va.
Gary Striegler responds: I€™ve
always loved challenging projects. They almost always lead to
more work, though I sometimes end up making less money. My
first paneled archway took forever, but each one since has
taken a little less time. When I price such a project for the
first time, I break it down into all its steps and figure the
time and material for each - how long, for instance, it will
take to set the forms, rip and plane the material, and glue up
the curved rails for an arch. If I am building a whole house, I
may add only about 10 percent to my estimate to cover unknown
variables; if it€™s a standalone
job, I might bump up my numbers by 30 percent. Occasionally, if
I really want the job, I might not add anything; I just have to
decide how much education I€™m
willing to pay for.
In the article "Fine-Tuning the Frame for Finish" (12/07),
Frank Caputo mentions the cardboard drywall shims he uses for
low spots in the framing. I€™d like
to use them on a current project but have been unable to find
them at any of my local suppliers. Do you know who makes them
and where can I find them?
Bill Sobering
Florham Park, N.J.
The 45-inch-long shims are made by Menco Royal (816/257-2552,
They come in bundles of 100, which sell for around $12 at
drywall suppliers. - The Editors

I saw the story of 80-year-old body builder Ray Moon on a tabloid type current affairs TV programme in August. The segment said he was in training for the Victorian Bodybuilding Championships in September, taking place in Melbourne. I thought to myself, what a crazy story!
I got hold of the manager of the gym where Ray trains and he put me in touch. I explained to Ray that I wanted to spend a few days with him and the kind of pictures I wanted to shoot – Ray at home, training, having the famous body builder's spray-on tan and then competing.
Ray was not having any of it. He said 'No' to all of my ideas, except the competition shots, saying my presence would spoil his concentration in the lead-up to the event. 'No problem' was my answer, as I felt the story would still be strong enough without the other pictures.
I passed his contact details onto my Sydney-based text colleague Pauline Askin, who would write the story, and off I trudged on September 14th to shoot the pictures.
When I came face-to-face with Ray he was wearing a short terry-towelling bath robe and slippers, sporting coiffed white hair and one of the most remarkable spray-on tans I have ever seen. This is going to be interesting I thought. I asked if I could shoot some shots of him warming-up and he agreed.
