Each year, especially at Christmas, Americans profess their desire for "Peace on Earth." Well, in the words of the 1955 song, "Let there be peace on Earth, and let it begin with me."
We need to stop waiting for "them" to change and starting making some changes ourselves.
This philosophy can and should be extended to many facets of our lives.
It's time to end the political hostilities that have dominated the nation in recent years.
This past election was especially bitter. Is that really what we want our nation to be like? Personal relationships, online and in person, were strained because of the bitter political rivalry.
Even after the election, some refused to let the dust settle. Secession petitions were being distributed. Do we not remember the "Join or Die" editorial cartoon from the American Revolution era or the national motto of "E Pluribus Unum"? Have we forgotten why we are called the United States?
Most Americans still value the art of compromise. In a recent Gallup poll, two-thirds of Americans said they would prefer their elected representatives to compromise on fiscal cliff issues.
Americans should emphasize bipartisan cooperation in emails and letters to their elected leaders in Washington and elsewhere.
Compromise on other issues, too. That's how we will all get along with each other.
In addition, look at how to bring peace to our communities. This includes taking steps to improve community watch programs and other efforts to reduce crime, but there's so much more to be done.
Be kind toward your fellow man. A simple smile can do a lot to brighten another person's day. A few kind words are even stronger.
Support charities through financial donations and volunteering as well. You'll be better for it, and so will your neighbors.
Raise your children to have proper morals, which means not just discussing right and wrong but actually making those correct decisions in your life.
Don't just proclaim "Peace on Earth" but actively strive to bring it about. And keep this spirit alive not just at Christmas, but throughout the year.
This Christmas Day, we extend our wish for peace to you and yours.

Recipe by oscar'smom
"To my family, this is known as 'Fannie's Junk,' named after my great-aunt who gave this recipe to my mom over 30 years ago. This is comfort food at its best, and an old family favorite. Serve with salad and crusty bread.
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 pound
ground beef
yellow onion, diced
2 (26 ounce) jars
tomato, onion, and garlic spaghetti sauce (such as Prego®)
1 tablespoon
dried basil
1 large
bay leaf
1 teaspoon
dried oregano
1 teaspoon
celery salt
1 (16 ounce) package
elbow macaroni
1 (10.75 ounce) can
condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup
2 1/4 cups
shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
Please try this. Yes, I'm the author and no it's not gourmet, but for moms on the go, it works. On the weekends, I would make my own spagehetti sauce, but we don't always have the luxury. Definitely add in the garlic, I usually do two crushed.
Not great...do yourself a favor and make your own tomato sauce with a good recipe such as Mariana.
10 Ratings
Very good. Makes a lot. Next time I make it I might put some garlic in. Yummy
I love this recipe and use it quite often when I don't know what to make for dinner. I usually have all of the ingredients in the house. I didn't change the ingredients in the recipe at all but I do take short cuts, like I don't simmer it as long or layer it. I just add the mushroom soup to the saucepan and mix the cheese in with the noodles before pouring the sauce over the top of the noodles. I do save some cheese for the top too. It usually tastes better the second day for that reason, but I am a working mom and if I spend 2 1/2 hours cooking dinner we won't eat until 7 or 8.
Great weekday meal... Added con queso ( Jacked up Chhese dip / Sauce ) instead of water to the soup mixture.. was very good. Will make again.
I had an interesting taste. I didn't have all that time to wait for the sauce (1 hour.) Just took too much time over all.
I used wheat penna pasta and it was still very good. My family loved it. Easy to make.
My kids loved this!! Easy to make and makes a lot. My daughter and her friend went back for 2nds. I might add the cheese like the other poster stated next time.

GE falls on ties to Japan nuclear plants
Shares of General Electric slip amid Japan's nuclear energy crisis, while alternative-energy stocks get a boost.
By Andrea Tse, TheStreet
Updated at 1:43 p.m. ET
General Electric (GE) shares were skidding Monday after GE-designed nuclear power reactors in Japan were damaged in Friday's massive earthquake and as investor confidence in Japan's nuclear-power future crumbled.
Shares of GE were falling 4.1% to $19.53, while its nuclear venture partner Hitachi (HIT) was plunging 15.5% to $49.93.
The unfolding nuclear crisis in Japan has called into question the nuclear energy policy of the U.S. and other nations, as policy makers balance safety issues with the need to develop alternative, clean sources of energy to reduce oil dependency.
Already, the Swiss government has suspended all plans to build and replace nuclear plants. Germany has suspended a plan to extend the lives of Germany's 17 nuclear plants. The government has said it will conduct an extensive review of the plans' safety and the country's atomic energy policy.
German environmental minister Norbert Roettgen said over the weekend that the government will look to accelerate the use of alternative energies.
The alternative-energy and natural-gas sectors were surging on anticipation of stronger demand.
Post continues after video:
First Solar (FSLR) was popping 4.4% to $145.91, Trina Solar (TSL) was surging 9.2% to $26.46, Yingli Green Energy (YGE) was rallying 8.6% to $11.30, andSuntech Power (STP) was advancing 4.5% to $8.40. Natural-gas producer Chesapeake Energy (CHK) was up 2.6% to $33.66.
In the U.S., shares of the largest nuclear reactor operators Exelon (EXC) and Entergy (ETR) were losing 2.5% and 5.5%, respectively.
Uranium miners Denison Mines (DNN) and Uranium Resources (URRE) were plunging over 25% in afternoon trading.
While General Electric is a major supplier of wind turbines and other sources of alternative energy, the company continues to express belief in the resurgence of nuclear power demand. Since 2007, the U.S. conglomerate has partnered with Hitachi, the Japanese electricity generation and electronic device company, in a nuclear venture. GE's chairman, Jeffrey Immelt, said GE will provide its partner with technical support in an effort to avert a nuclear crisis.
One of the GE-designed reactors at the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear plant in Japan, where the explosions have happened over the past few days, began operating 40 years ago.
Since the earthquake struck, there have been at least two explosions at the Dai-ichi nuclear plant, injuring at least 11 workers.
Water levels have plummeted there, exposing the fuel rods and threatening a meltdown.
Related Articles
I read some interesting statistic for nuclear power plants vs wind farms. In the last 10 years there have been 7 industrial deaths ( non radiation) in nuke plants but there have been 44 deaths in construction and operation of wind generators. There have been more deaths from petroleum processing and extraction in the last 6 years ( 11-BP Louisiana, 8 BP- Texas City, 2 -Conoco Oklahoma) than the entire 40 years of these Japanese reactors.
This same region of Japan was hit in 1896 by an earthquake, typhoon and a tidal wave all at the same time and the region gets hit with typhoons regularly. Those reactors have had a very good safety record over 40 years, the media and the wind / solar power freaks are over reacting to this disaster to further their agendas. The technology is sound, safe, reliable and fairly inexpensive once the major outlays for construction are spent. We need to go full steam on these type of plants to get off foreign oil.

Up to 435,000 new housing units would need to be created in the Metro Boston area by the year 2040 to keep the region's economy growing, the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) said in a new report released Thursday.
The units would comprise mostly multifamily homes and be located, primarily, in urban areas, the MAPC said. The aim of the additional units is to attract younger workers to the region from elsewhere in the country to keep the economy growing in the Greater Boston area. The 435,000 new units are greater than the 305,000 new units needed in a "status quo" scenario, MAPC said.
"More than a million of the region's workers will be retired by the year 2030," MAPC Executive Director Marc Draisen said in a statement Thursday. "To fill those jobs and grow the economy, we need to reverse the trends that see so many young workers leaving Metro Boston."
Attracting more young people to the region with the kinds of housing they prefer could potentially result in a "stronger region" with a total population increase of 12.6 percent, MAPC said. The population age 25-64 years would increase by 7 percent, according to the report.
"This new report confirms the need for significant new multi-family housing if we want to attract young people and families and to grow our population," Housing and Economic Development Secretary Greg Bialecki said in a statement.
The following is a list of key findings from the MAPC report.
- If current trends continue, a wave of Baby Boomer retirements and a weak inflow of younger workers will result in little growth in the labor force and be a drag on the economy. If more young people are attracted and retained, however, the region's labor force might grow by 7 percent.
- Even under a slow-growth Status Quo scenario, there will be demand for 305,000 new housing units from 2010 to 2040, an increase of 17 percent. The "Stronger Region" scenario would require production of 435,000 new units.
- Most of the new housing demand under either scenario will be among residents now younger than age 44. Residents now over 45 will need fewer housing units in 2020 than they do today due to outmigration and mortality.
- Multifamily housing, both for-sale and rental units, will make up at least 48 percent as much as 62 percent of demand.
- Even in suburban municipalities, demand for multifamily units will make up between 28 and 37 percent of total demand.
- More than half of housing demand will be in urban communities under either scenario—as much as 56 percent in the "Stronger Region" scenario.
- The number of school-age children in the region and in most municipalities peaked in 2000 and is likely to decline over the coming decades. The population aged 5 to 14 is projected to fall another 8-9 percent by 2020 and is not likely to fully rebound, even under the "Stronger Region" scenario.
The projections, which were developed as part of MAPC's forthcoming Regional Housing Plan for Metro Boston, will have broad utility for local housing plans and school enrollment projections, regional transportation planning efforts, and state programs focused on housing and workforce development, according to MAPC.
The Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development adopted the Stronger Region scenario in 2012 as the basis for the Commonwealth's multifamily housing production goal of 10,000 multifamily units per year, and that office is now working to coordinate local and state policies to support the achievement of the goal.
To see the data and the report, visit the MAPC Projections, 2013.

Graphically funny (except perhaps the locusts xD), fun gameplay and nice music.
The levels are well done although some like the 9 is very complicated, maybe that would work better with bouncy balls, I think. Anyway, it's quite addictive. I like the amount of achievements there is something I value in all games.

On the anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, progress is being made in repairing Newport's historic cliff walk.
When Sandy swooped in last year, tearing away 2 miles of the cliff walk the city got worried about how it would affect business. "Unfortunately we had to shut down that part for the summer tourist season, " says Evan Smith, President of Discover Newport.
Surprisingly, the temporary closure hasn't kept people away. It did however, start a battle between the state, some residents and a group of local surfers. In order to start repairs, construction crews need to get heavy machinery close to the water's edge
There's only two ways to do it. By gaining access through public property, or putting in temporary boulders which could compromise the surf. "It would be wiping out an existing playing field that is known around the world, " says local surfer, Al Abbruzzi.
On the anniversary of Sandy, Abbruzzi got his wish. The state was able to get the ok to use several private properties instead. Construction finally started this week and should be done by February.

Think Silicon Valley. They require a melding of all of the capabilities of governments, businesses, financiers, universities, and individuals. Together, these organizations and individuals provide the web of support that makes it easier for startups to launch and grow quickly, and for established companies to innovate more aggressively. With that kind of support, African entrepreneurs and businesses will find it easier to produce new products and services, or even create whole new industries. You can think of an innovation ecosystem as a collective intelligence—harnessed for the good of society. IBM is committed to helping Africa build successful innovation ecosystems. The latest sign of this willingness is our new IBM Innovation Center in Nairobi, Kenya. Permalink

by Cara Baruzzi , New Haven Register Staff
Quinnipiac Bank & Trust Co. principals said that, through the banks
stock offering, they have exceeded the minimum amount of funding needed to
proceed with their plan to open the Hamden-based community
bank.Advertisement"Its a major step," said bank President Mark
Candido. "Were excited."At a price of $10 a share, the stock offering
was intended to raise between a minimum of $10.5 million and a maximum of $13
million. The offering, which organizers have extended twice, will remain open
for another four to six weeks, said Executive Vice President Richard
Barredo.More than 90 percent of the banks shareholders thus far are
from the New Haven area, he said."We want to get as many local
(investors) as possible," he said. "People want to see a hometown bank. Thats
been the appeal."Organizers have extended the banks stock offering
twice since initially offering it in April. Between April and the original
offering deadline in July, they privately raised $4.2 million, including $2.3
million from the 17 founders. They raised another $1.5 million after extending
the offering to October.In September, organizers hired Dallas-based
Samco Capital Markets Inc., a consulting firm that helps start-up banks raise
capital. Together, they continue to seek investors and have scheduled their next
investor seminar for 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Holiday Inn in North
Haven.Having already raised enough money to proceed, organizers plan to
open the banks home office in Hamden as early as the end of this year. A branch
in New Haven would open about nine months later, with a North Haven branch
following about nine months after that, Barredo said.The bank, which
will serve small and midsized businesses, as well as consumers, will provide an
alternative to larger, national bank chains, said Candido, a former executive at
the Bank of New Haven.Dennis Miller, a senior vice president of Samco
who is working with the banks organizers on site in Hamden, said in a written
statement that the support of local investors proves area residents want a
community bank."We like seeing that kind of support from the community,"
he said.

Zheng Conquers World No.1
Published August 06, 2009 11:59
LOS ANGELES, CA, USA - In Rome earlier this year, Zheng Jie nearly earned her second win over a reigning world No.1, leading Dinara Safina 5-2 in the third set before the Russian roared back to win. The drama was the same but the ending was much different at the LA Women's Tennis Championships on Thursday, as the Chinese upended the world No.1 in a nail-biter under the lights.
Zheng, seeded No.14, almost seemed headed for a two set win, building a 75 31 lead. Like she has done so many times before, Safina fought back, winning nine of the next 12 games to take the second set and lead 4-2 in the third; but Zheng wasn't down or out, and she stormed through four games in a row of her own - losing just two points in the process - to seal the deal, 75 46 64.
"It's amazing for me, because I lost to her all four times we had played," en elated Zheng said. "I just tried my best. You could tell I was 110% on every point. I tried to be aggressive. I tried to attack her forehand and get her moving. Before the start of the match I knew it would be tough, and I'm so happy I won."
"I don't know what happened in the first set, but I started to play much better in the second set. In the third set, I just didn't use my opportunities," Safina said. "It's disappointing for me, but she's a good player. It's tough to play her. She took her chances and beat me. In this match, I didn't do the right things."
Zheng became the first Chinese ever to beat a reigning No.1 at Wimbledon last year, taking out Ana Ivanovic. She now has four Top 10 wins to her name.
The other Top 8 seeds had mixed results. Vera Zvonareva and Agnieszka Radwanska both won, the No.2-seeded Zvonareva beating Yanina Wickmayer, 76(5) 46 64, and the No.8-seeded Radwanska rolling past Anna Chakvetadze, 63 62; No.5 seed Nadia Petrova was ousted by No.10 seed Flavia Pennetta, 63 63, and No.6 seed Ivanovic lost to No.13 seed Samantha Stosur, 63 62.
"Anytime you play someone you lost to recently, it's a benchmark to test yourself," said Stosur, who lost to Ivanovic last month at Wimbledon. "As the match went on, I felt better and better. Early in the year, I had some good wins and some close losses. Matches like this keep your confidence up."
"I feel all I need is a few more matches and a little more competition. It's tough because I feel I just can't match the level of performance I want," Ivanovic said. "After Wimbledon I had some injuries and took three weeks off. I started off slowly. I want to enjoy myself and I feel it is important to be fresh and hungry again. Now I'm feeling excited to work again and I feel positive about things."
In other matches, Urszula Radwanska got a walkover from No.12 seed Li Na due to a right knee injury; Sorana Cirstea won by retirement when No.17 seed Sabine Lisicki suffered a right shoulder injury trailing 63 10; and Maria Sharapova got past Alona Bondarenko, 46 60 63.
"It was good to get revenge," said Sharapova, who had lost to Bondarenko in the first event of her 2009 comeback, at Warsaw in May. "It's tough playing players that play the majority of the season. My last two opponents have been some of the most physically fit girls on the Tour. It gives me confidence I can step it up when I need to, especially after losing to her a few months ago."
Friday's quarterfinals will see Zvonareva play Pennetta, Agnieszka Radwanska play Cirstea, Stosur play Zheng and Sharapova play Urszula Radwanska.

The MMA 5 & 1 12.19.12: The World's End Edition
Posted by
Stewart Lange
on 12.19.2012
Amia Miley is your "& 1" Model of the Week, a look at the finales for both
The Ultimate Fighter
shows, MMA gets its own Botchamania and more!
Hello everyone and welcome to another
! I'm going to start out this week by saying that I'm once again hooked on WWE. I've been watching Raw the last three weeks and enjoyed it, so watched TLC and loved it. I'm still getting familiar with a few guys, but the last time I watched it regularly, C.M. Punk was ECW champion. A while, then. I also have the complete Frasier box set to work through, but it's not going to be easy to stop myself from hearing Sideshow Bob every single time he talks.
"By LUCIFER'S BEARD!"
I return fire on last week's comments!
Gina's r@ck is to die for
I don't know if rack is allowed on the new look comments section or not. If I can write the word bollocks without being censored, I'm sure rack is fine.
Todd Vote
"Gina will be at the bottom of the page. Providing the main MMA page doesn't ruin the surprise by teasing the column with a picture of her"
Oh how prophetic that turned out to be. haha. Thanks for the pics though, keep up the good work.
Thanks, Todd. I can't get away with any surprises for the & 1 Model, since whoever edits the homepage puts their picture in the box.
Because you wouldn't read the
5 & 1
for the articles.
In a massive voting turn out, Frankie Edgar defeated Royce Gracie to make his way into the semi-finals to take on either Jose Aldo or Kazushi Sakuraba. I have to admit, the favourites are dropping quickly.
This week, we have Nick Diaz taking on journeyman fighter Jeremy Horn to see who takes on Matt Hughes in the finale of the Superfight GP 5!
So, Diaz or Horn? Horn or Diaz? Make your pick NOW!
Superfight 12.19.12
Friday night, part one!
The UFC gave us a jam packed weekend of fights, with not one but TWO Ultimate Fighter finale cards that were crammed full of action. Friday night kicked off with some fantastic preliminary battles including awesome knockouts by Cody Donovan, Ben Alloway and Chad Mendes. Can we maybe see Chad Mendes against some competitive opponents already? Since he fought Jose Aldo, a fight he was competitive in for 4 and a half minutes, he's been matched against guys he's crushed with ease. Hell, I'd actually say Yaotzin Meza was more insulting a fight than Cody Mackenzie. That said, I look forward to seeing Leonard Garcia locked in a Mackenzie-tine and going unconscious. But, with it being Leonard Garcia and all, he'll beat consciousness 30-27.
More importantly than any of those fights, though, was the long overdue UFC arrival of the real Hector Lombard. Lombard is easily one of the scariest looking bastards in MMA and while he looked pretty rank in his first Octagon appearance, he pretty much destroyed Rousimar Palhares. "Paul Harris" had almost nothing to give Lombard back as Hector battered him about for five highly enjoyable minutes. Lombard would likely be looking at a title match against Anderson Silva had he won both of his fights like this, but he's going to be looking at another fight at least before that now. As long as it lasts less than 5 minutes, he'll be fine.
The 5 & 1 Soundtrack
This isn't music, or rap, or anything else soundtrack wise, but it's actually much, much better. You owe yourself to watch this.
Friday night, part two!
Pearson does it!
The two "Smashes" finals were up next and neither disappointed. Norman Parke made me look damned stupid by defeating Colin Fletcher, who seemed for a long time like the "gimme" champion of the show. I told the staff here that I didn't think Norman Parke had the win in him, but he took the first two rounds against "Freakshow" to make Jeremy Lambert blame me for a wasted pick. Parke will now move into the UFC and while it's hard to figure where he might fit into the Lightweight picture, so I'd look for him to do the Ultimate Fighter winner standard, by moving down a weight class before his next UFC fight.
The welterweight final saw Brad Scott (Brit with an Aussie sounding name) take on Robert Whittaker (Aussie with a British sounding name) with a slightly more back and forth battle than the previous fight, but it saw Australia gain their first Ultimate Fighter champion in Robert Whittaker. As with all TUF winners, it's hard to picture Whittaker actually taking on any of the division's elite, but perhaps a bout against someone like Matt Riddle would show us where exactly he can fit at 170lbs.
Rounding off the evening, Ross Pearson did the United Kingdom proud as he defeated George Sotiropoulos. I'm really not a fan of Soti, plus he acts like a total douche most of the time so it's pretty nice to have seen him knocked out by Pearson and giving the UK yet another TUF win. You know, because we beat the Americans too a little while ago, too. You can talk about how Hendo beat Bisping between those coaches, too. We don't care, we all cheered too.

Saturday night, Part one!
WOW. That's all.
While the evening started with Jonathan Brookins taking on Dustin Poirier, it's not really that I want to speak about. Really, Poirier looked great with the D'arce choke that ended the fight and Brookins showed us some impressive striking improvement but it was quickly overshadowed when the UFC ran one of the preliminary bouts. Rustam Khabilov is now your new favourite fighter having shown some absolutely outstanding throws.
Khabilov used Vinc Pichel like a training dummy, throwing him around with ease, announcing himself onto the UFC scene in a supremely one sided encounter against a guy who hasn't lost a professional bout yet. What will this mean for the Russian? Who knows but boy, I can't wait to see him fight again, I love mini-Fedor.
Next up, we had one of my favourite heavyweights, Pat Barry. He was losing the fight after one round to Shane Del Rosario, but it's not like Barry to leave us wanting excitement, is it? Barry knocked Del Rosario the crap out early in round one with some super violence, and followed it up with one of the most emotional post-fight interviews I've ever seen. HD, the
5 & 1
salutes you, good sir.
Knockout of the Week!
Joe Rogan's favourite head kick knockouts? Yes please.
Saturday night, part two!
Fatboy Nelson wins.
The second half of Saturday was filled with the Ultimate Fighter finale, with the favourite, soldier Colton Smith doing an awesome job in controlling Mike "Christina" Ricci (disclaimer- probably not his nickname) to win a three round unanimous decision. Colton looked okay in the house, but looked awesome here. It might be worth him taking on Robert Whittaker, if they fancy completely derailing one of their brand new TUF winners straight off the bat. Before this fight, we caught Mike Pyle smashing James Head in the, well, head with an awesome knee to prove there's still life in the old dog yet. While his mullet prevents me from taking him too seriously, I'll be happy to watch Pyle go as long as he fights like this.
The main event was show coach Roy Nelson taking on his TUF 10 house mate, "Meathead" Matt Mitrione in a battle of which heavyweight I hate the most. I think Mitrione is an ass, but god. Roy Nelson just annoys the shit out of me. So, sitting down to a fight where I hoped both men would lose, I didn't expect to be fairly pleased when it ended quickly, despite the greater of two evils winning.
There's really no place in the Heavyweight division for Roy Nelson. I don't mean that in a "they should sack him" way, but he's clearly too strong for guys like Stefan Struve, Matt Mitrione and Brendan Schaub, but not in any way fit enough to hang with the guys in the top five. So, where next for Big Country? Anyone who says 205lbs need their head examined.

The latest data analysis from the Annual Population Survey1 looks at how commuting to work affects the personal well-being of people in employment in the UK. The analysis draws on people's own assessments of their well-being and looks at this in relation to their commuting experiences, in terms of time spent travelling to work (one way) and the method of travel used. The results show that all aspects of personal well-being are negatively affected by commuting, with the largest effects on daily emotions such as happiness and anxiety.
How did commuting affect personal well-being?
From the data analysis, it appears that commuters have lower life satisfaction, a lower sense that their daily activities are worthwhile, lower levels of happiness and higher anxiety on average than non-commuters2. Average happiness levels begin to fall and anxiety levels begin to rise after the first 15 minutes of the commute to work. Then, the worst effects of commuting on personal well-being are experienced on average by those whose journey to work lasts between 61 and 90 minutes.
Although, when commuting time reaches three hours or more (one way), negative effects on personal well-being disappear, suggesting that the small minority of people with this commuting pattern have quite different experiences to most other commuters.
Chart 1: How the personal well-being of commuters and non-commuters differs after holding individual characteristics equal
United Kingdom
- In this chart, commuters are represented as the baseline of zero. The bars show how much higher or lower non-commuters rated each aspect of their personal well-being on average compared to commuters.
- All of the findings in Figure 1 are statistically significant at the 5% level.

(27.5 Kb)
How did travel by car, bus and train affect well-being?
The analysis also looked at the relationship between the method of travel to work and the travel time (one way), and how this affected people's well-being. For instance, those commuting to work in a private vehicle (car, minibus or works van) were less happy and more anxious on average for all journey times over 16 minutes than those travelling only up to 15 minutes.
Long bus or coach journeys negatively impacted on all aspects of personal well-being. Those spending more than 30 minutes commuting by bus had lower levels of life satisfaction, a lower sense that daily activities are worthwhile, lower happiness and higher anxiety on average than those travelling up to 15 minutes (by any method).
However, there were no adverse effects on personal well-being for those commuting by train, underground, light railway or tram for journeys of up to 30 minutes compared with those travelling up to 15 minutes (by any method). After 30 minutes of travel time, anxiety levels increased for people using any of these travel methods. Additionally, those travelling by underground, light railway or tram had a lower sense that daily activities are worthwhile compared with those travelling only up to 15 minutes (by any method).
How did cycling or walking to work affect well-being?
The findings were mixed on active forms of commuting such as cycling and walking. Their effects on personal well-being depended on the time spent travelling to work. For example, those cycling between 16 and 30 minutes to work had lower happiness and higher anxiety on average than those travelling only 15 minutes to work (by any method). However, people cycling 30 minutes or more to work had similar levels of well-being to those travelling only up to 15 minutes to work.
Where can I find out more about personal well-being statistics?
These statistics were analysed by the Measures of Personal Well-Being branch at ONS. This analysis is based largely on data from the Annual Population Survey, carried out by ONS. If you would like to find out more about the latest well-being statistics, you can read the release or visit the people and places page. If you have any comments or suggestions, we would like to hear them! Please email us at: email@example.com
The analysis is based on data from the Annual Population Survey (APS) collected from April 2012 to March 2013.
Non-commuters are defined as employees or self-employed people who said they work from home in their main job and specifically in the same grounds or buildings as home. Those who worked in different places using home as a base were not included as they may spend an undetermined amount of time travelling for work related activities.

Fox Broadcasting announced on Wednesday that it is severing ties with WTVW (Fox 7).
Fox Broadcasting now has an agreement with WEVV to air the Fox primetime and sports programming on WEVV's secondary channel, which is now called My44. It will be re-branding My Fox 44.
My44 is not CBS. My44 is the WEVV channel that airs on 44.2. CBS44's programming on WEVV (44.1) will not be affected.
This means shows that were previously on Fox programming, such as American Idol, Fringe, Glee, Bones, and more, will air on My Fox 44.
Broadcasting & Cable, an industry publication, reports the Fox programming will launch on My Fox 44 on July 1, 2011.
Do not call your cable or satellite provider yet, since the change just took place.
So what does this change mean for you? Here are some questions you may have.
1) Will the Fox prime programming on My Fox 44 be in High Definition?
-WEVV will make the programming available in HD, but it will depend on your provider on whether you will see it in HD. Antenna customers will receive it in HD, but it will be up to cable providers to determine whether they provide it to you in HD.
2) Will My Fox 44 be available to Dish or Direct TV customers?
-It is WEVV's intention to make it available to Dish Network and Direct TV customers, but there have been no announcements of an agreement at this time.
3) Is My Fox 44 available on all Tri-State cable companies?
-WEVV General Manager Tim Black says My Fox 44 is currently available on all major Tri-State cable companies.
4) What will happen to the MyNetwork prime programming now airing on My Fox 44?
-MyNetwork programming will slide to 9pm - 11pm, immediately following the conclusion of FOX prime programming. (MyNetwork programming only airs Mon - Fri.)

as MICHAEL
Shane West plays Michael in The CW series "Nikita." After taking down the corrupt regimen running Division, Michael is intent on rebuilding the agency under a new leader, while also trying to build a normal life with his love Nikita (Maggie Q).
Born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, West found a passion for acting at an early age. He has achieved success on both the big and small screen, receiving multiple accolades, including the Young Hollywood Superstar of Tomorrow Award, The Philadelphia Film Festival's Rising Star Award, two Teen Choice Awards and a nomination for the Cinescape Genre Face of the Future Award.
West was last seen on the small screen in long-running hit "ER," as the atypical "Dr. Ray," and is also known for his starring role as Eli on the drama series "Once and Again."
West starred as the legendary Darby Crash in the independent film "What We Do Is Secret," which has garnered a cult following and critics' praise. The biopic follows Crash, the self-destructive lead singer, and his infamous band The Germs, near the decline of the '80s punk scene. The remaining original members of The Germs, including Foo Fighter's guitarist Pat Smear, were so taken with West's portrayal they invited him to join them on tour as lead singer of the re-formed band.
West starred opposite Sean Connery in the feature film "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen," as the legendary Tom Sawyer, a courageous, clever young street fighter who is determined to stop the super villain, The Fantam. He also starred opposite Mandy Moore in the feature "A Walk to Remember," adapted from the Nicholas Sparks novel. Other credits include "Liberty Heights," "A Time for Dancing," Get Over It" and "Whatever It Takes," and most recently, "The Presence," opposite Mira Sorvino.
West's career truly took off when he co-starred in Mark Taper Forum's stage production of "The Cider House Rules." He premiered in the role of Angel and garnered great praise for his first stage role.
West currently splits his time between Toronto and Los Angeles.

Happy easter everybody, and sorry for the delayed response. I think training should start a little earlier and if it could be an hour and a half instead of an hour that would be great. Either way it was a protective meetup and I learned a couple of basic things. If maybe the next meet up could be a little bit more organized and a bit faster of a start that would be awesome. Either way it was a fun experience and I hope to see everybody soon.

Five months after its release, Android 4.2 known like 4.1+ as Jelly Bean) is still not widely used by most manufacturers. In his Android Power Blog on ComputerWorld, (http://blogs.computerworld.com/... ), JR Raphael predicts that some manufacturers may skip this upgrade altogether, waiting for Google's next Android release, possibly in May at Google's big I/O conference, and possibly to be called Key Lime Pie.

Due to the proven success of this new general event series, I am merging into this listing of it the RSVP YESes from our prior sub-event series where those series were subsumed by this more general series but which I still left them repeating at a very slow rate on our calendar in case they might need to be resumed (as once all instances of an event series have past, Meetup incorrectly does not allow the series ever be resumed, just recreated) but as it's now clear that officially canceling them is the best thing due the anticipated & now demonstrated greater success of this series, so I'm now canceling them with referrals to this thread for the explanation. I will Reply to this thread soon with the exact detail for each.

Chicago-area students taking part in a spring break robotics camp got a visit and pep talk from Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg.
The Facebook chief operating officer and now best-selling author told the high school and middle school students that it's OK to be a geek.
Sandberg said "the things that make you uncool in high school are the things that are good for your life."
The Chicago Sun-Times reports that the dozen students were showing off their robots at the Illinois Institute of Technology Thursday when Sandberg dropped by.
When 18-year-old Hannan Ouyoun said she was torn between a career in fashion or engineering, Sandberg suggested both. The executive explained that understanding how things work would give her a competitive edge in fashion.
Ouyoun called that an "an eye-opener."

About Us
Democratic Republic of Congo
Educational Resources
Egypt is a country in North Africa, with the Sinai Peninsula forming a land bridge to Western Asia. Egypt borders the Mediterranean Sea to the north, the Gaza Strip and Israel to the northeast, the Red Sea to the east, Sudan to the south and Libya to the west.
The regularity and richness of the annual Nile River flood, coupled with semi-isolation provided by deserts to the east and west, allowed for the development of one of the world's great civilizations. A unified kingdom arose circa 3200 B.C., and a series of dynasties ruled in Egypt for the next three millennia. The last native dynasty fell to the Persians in 341 B.C., who in turn were replaced by the Greeks, Romans, and Byzantines. It was the Arabs who introduced Islam and the Arabic language in the 7th century and who ruled for the next six centuries. A local military caste, the Mamluks took control about 1250 and continued to govern after the conquest of Egypt by the Ottoman Turks in 1517. Following the completion of the Suez Canal in 1869, Egypt became an important world transportation hub, but also fell heavily into debt. Ostensibly to protect its investments, Britain seized control of Egypt's government in 1882, but nominal allegiance to the Ottoman Empire continued until 1914. Partially independent from the UK in 1922, Egypt acquired full sovereignty with the overthrow of the British-backed monarchy in 1952. The completion of the Aswan High Dam in 1971 and the resultant Lake Nasser have altered the time-honored place of the Nile River in the agriculture and ecology of Egypt. A rapidly growing population (the largest in the Arab world), limited arable land, and dependence on the Nile all continue to overtax resources and stress society. The government has struggled to meet the demands of Egypt's growing population through economic reform and massive investment in communications and physical infrastructure. Egyptian youth and opposition groups, inspired by events in Tunisia leading to overthrow of the government there, organized a "Day of Rage" campaign on 25 January 2011 (Police Day) to include non-violent demonstrations, marches, and labor strikes in Cairo and other cities throughout Egypt. Protester grievances focused on police brutality, state emergency laws, lack of free speech and elections, high unemployment, rising food prices, inflation, and low minimum wages. Within several days of the onset of protests, President Mubarak addressed the nation pledging the formation of a new government, and in a second address he offered additional concessions, which failed to assuage protesters and resulted in an escalation of the number and intensity of demonstrations and clashes with police. On 11 February, recently appointed Vice President Suliman announced Mubarak's resignation and the assumption of national leadership by the Supreme Council of Armed Forces (SCAF). The SCAF dissolved the Egyptian parliament, suspended the nation's constitution, and formed a committee to recommend constitutional changes to facilitate a political transition through democratic elections. In early March, Essam Sharaf replaced Ahmed Shafik as Prime Minister and by mid-month a constitutional referendum was approved. In early July, the SCAF announced that elections for parliament would take place in September, but the date was later changed to November, and was to be followed by a redrafting of the constitution and a presidential election. In July 2011, opposition discontent over the slow pace of SCAF progress in transitioning the government led to a resumption of protests in Cairo and over a dozen other cities; less frequent, smaller demonstrations and protests continued through October. Following the arrest of Mubarak and other high-ranking officials in mid-April, a trial in which Mubarak is accused of corruption and complicity in the deaths of nearly 900 protesters began in early August, was temporarily suspended in September, and is scheduled to resume in late December. Elections for a new parliament were scheduled for late November 2011.

Overview: Occupying the northeast corner of the African continent, Egypt is bisected by the highly fertile Nile valley, where most economic activity takes place. Egypt's economy was highly centralized during the rule of former President Gamal Abdel Nasser but opened up considerably under former Presidents Anwar El-Sadar and Mohamed Hosni Mubarak. Cairo from 2004 to 2008 aggressively pursued economic reforms to attract foreign investment and facilitate GDP growth. Despite the relatively high levels of economic growth in recent years, living conditions for the average Egyptian remained poor and contributed to public discontent. After unrest erupted in January 2011, the Egyptian Government drastically increased social spending to address public dissatisfaction, but political uncertainty at the same time caused economic growth to slow significantly, reducing the government's revenues. Tourism, manufacturing, and construction are among the hardest hit sectors of the Egyptian economy, and economic growth is likely to remain slow at least through 2012. The government is utilizing foreign exchange reserves to support the Egyptian pound and Egypt may seek a loan from the International Monetary Fund.

Steve DeShazo's column on ACC football
JACKSONVILLE, Fla.--Col-
It's rarer when good teams have to make wholesale changes to their coaching staffs. Sure, an assistant's lifestyle is only slightly more stable than a carnival worker's. But the best programs stay relatively intact.
This fall, though, even die-hard fans may need a program to know who's calling the plays at Virginia Tech, Virginia and Maryland--let alone who's running them.
After more than a decade of stability, Frank Beamer had to hire four new assistant coaches at Virginia Tech. So did Virginia's Al Groh, who saw three of his lieutenants take head-coaching jobs elsewhere. And Ralph Friedgen replaced both of his longtime coordinators after two straight losing seasons at Maryland.
The biggest surprise came in Blacksburg, where Beamer almost never has to read a resume in the off-season.
"It is different," Virginia Tech center Danny McGrath said yesterday at the Atlantic Coast Conference's Football Kickoff press conference. "We were so accustomed to [former quarterbacks] coach [Kevin] Rogers and the others. But when you lose a player, you just plug the next guy in and keep going. We haven't slowed down for them."
"They" are Tech's new assistants: former Hokie Torrian Gray (secondary), Curt Newsome (offensive line), Mike O'Cain (quarterbacks) and Kevin Sherman (receivers). They represent nearly 50 percent of Beamer's brain trust, but the transition should be relatively smooth--even for one of the nation's most stable staffs.
O'Cain has been a head coach (at N.C. State from 1993-99). Newsome and Sherman are experienced, albeit at lower levels of college football. And Gray knows all about the Hokies' program after earning all-Big East honors three times.
Plus, the men who make the play calls--defensive coordinator Bud Foster and offensive coordinator Brian Stinespring--have been with Beamer for 25 and 16 years, respectively.
"I don't think there's going to be a drop-off," safety Aaron Rouse said. "They'll help guys step up and be even better players."

Recession Still Affecting Children
Special Report - January 3, 2012
A new report from the Brookings Institute examines the negative effects of the Great Recession on America's children, including rising child poverty rates and dependence on government assistance programs. The report, "The Recession's Ongoing Impact on America's Children: Indicators of Children's Economic Well-Being Through 2011," by Julia B. Isaacs was released in December. It tracked the economic health of children during the recession using three state-by-state indicators: "children with an unemployed parent, individuals receiving nutrition assistance benefits, and child poverty." Among the report's major findings are that child poverty continues to rise while "the number of children with an unemployed parent is lower than a year ago." The report also found that North Carolina's children experienced these negative effects of the recession more dramatically than the average American child.
The report concludes that despite the economy's slow recovery, "conditions are not yet improving for children in the most vulnerable families," as demonstrated by the continued deterioration of the economic well-being of America's children in "2010 and 2011, according to two of the three indicators tracked in this analysis."
Through September 2011, the national unemployment rate averaged 9.0 percent, down from 9.6 percent in 2010 and its peak of 10.1 percent in October 2009. The report argues that parental job loss harms children through the economic hardship and poverty that results from a sharp decline in family income, psychological distress experienced by unemployed parents, and long-term effects on children's "grade repetition and education attainment, the child's aspirations for his or her own future success in the labor market, and the child's earnings upon reaching adulthood."
In looking at children with an unemployed parent, the report found that an estimated 6.5 million children up from 3.8 million children in December 2007 and down from 8.1 million children in December 2009, lived in families with an unemployed parent in 2011. Particularly concerning, according to Isaacs, "is the number of children living with parents who have been out of work for more than six months: this number totals 3 million nationally." The report shows that children in California, Florida, Michigan, and Nevada are "particularly likely" to live with parents who have been unemployed for more than six months.
North Carolina's 10.1 percent unemployment rate outpaced the national average. The 218,000 North Carolina children with unemployed parents in 2011 represented 10 percent of the state's children (compared to the national average of nine percent) with nearly half of those children's parents having been unemployed for at least six months (compared to the national average of four percent).
Isaacs also considered participation rates in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, or formerly food stamp). Nearly half of the nation's SNAP participants are children, "making SNAP caseloads a good indicator of economic well-being among children. Over the past four years, monthly caseloads have skyrocketed by 70 percent, from 26 to nearly 45 million participants. This extraordinary caseload increase means that roughly 8 million more children were receiving SNAP benefits in spring 2011 than four years earlier, bringing the total number of child recipients to21 million. One in seven Americans (14 percent) are receiving SNAP benefits in 2011, with the recipiency rate as high as one in five residents in a half-dozen states (the District of Columbia, Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, Oregon and Tennessee)." The number of SNAP recipients in North Carolina has steadily risen from 875 in 2007 to 1,571 in 2011. The state's 80 percent growth rate also outpaces the national 70 percent growth rate.
Finally the report considered child poverty rates, which have risen by a percentage point or more for each of the last four years, from 18 percent in 2007 to 22 percent in 2010. The number of poor children has increased by 3 million over the same time period, totaling 16 million children nationwide in 2010." North Carolina is one of 14 states to be categorized has having "[h]igh child poverty status before and during the recession," which the report defines "as having a child poverty rate of 20 percent of higher" in the "pre-recessionary period." One in five children in North Carolina were categorized as living in poverty between 2000 and 2007. That jumped to one in four children in 2010 and is predicted to remain at 25 percent in 2011.

TOWN OF MENASHA, WI (WTAQ) - The Town of Menasha police officer who shot an armed 66 year old man to death last week has been identified as 17 year veteran Lt. Gary Cutler.
He is the department's firearms instructor.
Cutler was one of several officers sent to an apartment complex last Friday night after Wilson A. Lutz had threatened to harm himself.
Lutz was upset over a personal relationship. Cutler reportedly shot Lutz twice when he refused orders to drop his gun and then pointed it at the officers.
The Winnebago County district attorney's office is investigating to determine if charges should be filed.
Cutler is on paid administrative leave, a normal practice after a police-involved shooting.
