An FAA safety alert cautioning Embraer Legacy pilots against resting their foot on a footrest near the instrument panel because they might inadvertently put the transponder into standby mode has the aviation world scratching its head.
On June 27, Honda Aircraft president and CEO Michimasa Fujino and local officials held a groundbreaking ceremony for the company's new world headquarters at Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro, N.C.
A preliminary NTSB report on last month's fatal Citation crash at Conway Municipal Airport in Conway, Ark., said a witness reported seeing the aircraft land long and then the pilot "added power at the last second, lifted the nosewheel off the ground and struck the [jet-blast deflector]" situated
ARG/US is offering safety training to round out its portfolio of safety-related services.
NBAA will begin offering the certified aviation manager (CAM) test via computer beginning in January. Schroeder Management Technologies will be administering the test at its more than 250 locations nationwide.
The European Space Agency (ESA) recently launched the early development phase of the Single European Sky Iris program, a research initiative designed to improve air traffic management through satellite-based air-to-ground communication links.
In May, Piper Aircraft confirmed that it was looking for suitable sites to relocate the company's headquarters and to establish manufacturing of its single-engine PiperJet. A significant factor in the move is insurance costs, which have risen tenfold due to hurricanes.
Savannah Air Center has received the first FAA certification of dual crew-rest areas on Bombardier's Global Express XRS. The approval was granted as part of an overall completion of a green aircraft and allows operators to fly Part 135 nonstop legs of more than 12 hours.
U.S. airlines are getting a lot of attention of late, with dire tales of gridlocked traffic and passengers trapped for hours because of weather problems, stretched-thin logistics chains and full flights.
Fractional operator Flight Options has expanded into the realm of aircraft management.

Lead Toys: The New Coal?
Suddenly, a little coal in your stocking isn't the worst fear for the holidays.
The recent recalls have left millions of parents terrified and wondering what to do (us included) with a house full of toys. Enter Meredith Stacy, an L.A.-area Mom who not only has been testing toys and kid products at home for 10+ years, but showed us how to do it ourselves, and what to do if and when they test positive for lead.
Meredith recommends Homax Lead Check swabs, which are sold in the paint departments of Home Depot for $5.97 and at Lowe's for $3.98. They're also available online at LeadCheck.com. She suggested testing toys that are one year or older, especially vinyl. "Older toys are more likely to contain lead and more likely to be flaking or breaking down. If moms find lead in an older product, they need to contact their county. In California (and probably most other states), each county has drop sites for items containing lead, and some have collection days."
• If you have a positive result with a test swab that turns pink or red, you should call the Center for Environmental Health at 510-594-9864 or visit CEHCA.org and click on "Contact Us." Give a full description of the product, the tag information including the sku number (near the bar code), the name of the manufacturer, and any other relevant tag data. Also indicate where and when the item was purchased. The CEH will buy the item in their area and use an X-Ray Fluorescence Analyzer (XRF) to determine how much lead is in it. If they are unable to find the product in their area, they may ask you to send it to them.
• After giving the info to the CEH, Meredith contacts the manufacturer of the product, the corporate office of the store selling the item, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission. at 800-638-2772.
"Don't always expect to be treated with courtesy and respect from the stores, manufacturers, and the CPSC," Meredith says. "They may not return your call or take down your info. Not only are you the bearer of bad news, but reports from individual consumers are not given much credence. But we should do it anyway so that manufacturers, stores, and the CPSC know that we (consumers) are ultimately in charge of what we consume."
And something positive from all of this: HealthyToys.org will launch Dec. 5 and will provide a searchable data base with a list of 1500 lead toys tested with the XRF.
I've found www.leadtoyrecalls.com to be very useful these past few months.
I am buying only toys made in the USA for my kids and for their friends. www.usatoyguide.com is a very useful site. You can print out a list of toys made right here in the USA.

Wine Spectator
"The 2007 Syrah Williamson-Dore Vineyard displays more herbs, pepper, and spice, with slightly more reduced aromatics. Dark ruby/purple, with impressive richness and density, it is somewhat disjointed and not nearly as well formed as the other wines in the Foxen portfolio. There is a lot here, but it needs another year or two of bottle age."

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school is ok, but we want more for our daughter who just finished 1st grade. Her teacher made the classroom experience stressful, and the principal is not friendly, approachable, or open to feedback. She does, however, like to send very long emails and voicemails that border on rambling and disrespectful. We expected more from a blue ribbon school.
Westlake Hills is an excellent school. The teachers go above and beyond on a daily basis. I am extremely pleased with the education that my 1st and 2nd grader are receiving. Great school!!
My husband and I have been happy the past 2 years but are wanting a little more for our sons, our own personal preference, as we do feel there is a bit of decline in the quality of what the school used to be. We both went to top schools and want that too for our own children.
Too cliquish. Not as happy with always asking for more money or to volunteer more time. Some of us have to work and can not work in the classrooms.
This school has been good in the past but has been in decline this past year. The principal is spread too thin, and the budget cuts have let this school fall apart. The teachers are still ok but we are hoping to switch our 1st and 3rd graders to a better school that has been recommended within CVUSD via school choice for next term.
I have friends who go here and the LOVE IT! I might have to make a move to this school for my kids!
Best school, offers band, orchestra, chorus and Spanish as electives, at a small cost. Teachers and kids are great.
Best Elementary School in the area (including private schools). We are absolutely thrilled with the staff, principal and parent participation!!!
Westlake Hills Elementary is the best public school around. Absolutely amazing principal, teachers, staff and parents. We love this school!
our school is incredible because of our teachers and parents! in 5 years of being here... each teacher has blown my mind. my kids are so blessed to have such a great team. and our parents donate hours and hours to make our school great. total dedication from everyone!!!
An unbelievable committed and dedicated staff.
My children have just graduated from Westlake Hills Elementary and it was such a great experience for them. In each grade they had amazing teachers and the staff was outsanding.
Westlake Hills sets the standard for the impact of concerned parent involvement, as well as the importance of having a devoted principal. Jon Sand has done much for this school in the past few years. He's caring and effective, and he genuinely cares about the individual student. He even started playing chess at lunch recess with a couple of highly gifted (and yes, probably somewhat bored) students. He knows the kids by name. He walks the campus, picking up trash, clearing the blacktop of sand, reinforcing good sportsmanship among the kids. The teachers, generally speaking, are highly motivated to be an outstanding and lasting influence on the kids. Despite state cuts, they manage to inspire and engage the kids. The parents are amazing. Most moms seem to devote themselves to volunteering, and it shows! We raised about 300K in one evening this spring, to fund PE, music, art and the library! Westlake Hills rocks!
We have been at this chool on a nd off for the last 10 years . I believe it to be the best elementary school in the conejo valley. We are leaving this year and I feel like I am leaving my famiy. My two children have grown up at this school and recieved top educations . Teachers are beyond reproach. Dr. sand the pricipal is caring and approachable and knows an amazinf # of the students and parents by their first names. the after school programs are very good. You cannot find a more devoted group of teachers. A little tough in the carpool line so get there early. I have always walked my children to and from school. But overall I give the school an A+
This is a great school with very dedicated and capable teachers. Students are encouraged to participate in meaningful activities that encourage the use of higher order thinking skills. The collaborative approach to education, between teachers, staff, parents and community, enhances the students' learning experience.
This school is excellent. We transfered my son from a private school in the Conejo Valley, where he was unchallenged and not given work according to his ability. Now that he is at Westlake Hills Elementary, he is thriving. This school rivals all the private schools in the area.
As a credentialed teacher, I can tell you that W. Hills Elem. gives way too much HW, (expectations of 7th grade reading for 3rd graders?)cares little about how they affect the students emotionally as long as they get to show off their scores. They willingly hold kids back to up scores, not to help the kids. I have seen devastation here, but the parents are not understanding because they are told scores is all that counts.
Westlake Hills Elementary is the reason we moved to the Conejo Valley and specifically this neighborhood. This is an exemplary schhol with highly involved parents. Rachelle Morga raised the bar for principals. She will be missed. There are many families that have the means available for Private School tuition, yet they choose Westlake Hills Elementary for the academic, social and community benefits. Parents that involve themselves in the school at any level make this school an outstanding environment for their kids.

Hadoop on your PC: Cloudera's CDH4 virtual machine
Summary: Want to learn Hadoop without building your own cluster or paying for cloud resources? Then download Cloudera's Hadoop distro and run it in a virtual machine on your PC. I'll show you how.
5 of 10Image
Cloudera's CDH4 runs its own Web server and a Web-based user interface, called Hue, sporting consoles for MapReduce, HDFS and Hive, along with browser-based command line shells for HBase and Pig.
You can run Hue from your own PC's (i.e. the host's) Web browser, as long as you know the IP address of the VM. Inside the VM, open an X terminal emulator command prompt (by clicking the highlighted icon at the bottom of the screen) and enter the ifconfig command to determine the address. You'll see what to do with that address in the next screen...
To get to Hue, just open a browser on your own host PC (use Firefox or Chrome -- I had trouble with IE), and navigate to port 8888 at the IP address you just discovered. For example, if the IP address were 192.168.1.35 (as shown in the previous screen), you'd type the following into your browser's address bar:
This will take you to the Hue login screen, pictured above. Login using "cloudera" as both the user name and password.
After logging in to Hue, its browser-based user interface for Hive, called Beeswax, comes up by default. Beeswax allows you to enter SQL (well, technically, HiveQL) queries and see the results. You can also save queries, upload files, edit Hive's settings, or create user-defined functions.

Up until a few weeks ago, the Hamilton Tiger-Cats - a talented, well-coached team - did not have a permanent home. They were playing without five or six of their top offensive weapons being in the lineup on a consistent basis. Their defence was overworked and they were scheduled against the CFL's top teams.
Five things I learned about the Saskatchewan Roughriders during Sunday's 28-3 loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats at Tim Hortons Field:
Upon further review, my previous column was - to use a term that is most applicable to the Saskatchewan Roughriders' alleged passing game - incomplete.

BabyNamesWorld / Message Boards / Baby Names Advice / When it comes to retro/vintage names …
When it comes to retro/vintage names …
what are some that you really can't picture coming back?
There are some I would have guessed wouldn't appeal to parents today that I've seen coming back so sometimes I'm surprised but in general, are there some that you find so dated or unattractive-sounding that you can't picture them making a comeback?
Some I would put in this category:
Gertrude (I think Gertie is cute, but the "trude/rude" part at the end seems to kind of ruin this name for me)
Mildred (again, Millie is cute if short for another name, but the "dred" … no)
Oh and there aren't as many boys' names I'd put in this category, but a few:
ashthedreamerParticipant9 months, 2 weeks ago
Whaaaat? Agnes and Otis! I love them.
And I'm sorry to say, but Agnes, Alma, Maude, Alfred, Virgil, and Otis are already on their way back in.
For me, it's Mabel. It's already coming back, but I can't wrap my brain around it. MABEL. It's the epitome of frumpy and ugly for me. I just don't get it! I used to feel the same about Susannah, but I've come around. Also Florence. *shudder*. Florence, oh Florence, why?! Flora is adorable. Fleur, sure. But Florence?!
(And don't even get me started on Beatrice!)
embraParticipant9 months, 2 weeks ago
I'd agree with most of your girl picks. I'd add Beulah, Talullah, and Olga for a girl, and remove Frieda. I think the link to Freida Khalo could bring it back, and it doesn't have an awful sound imo. For the boys, I could see Clyde, Edgar, or Otis making a come back, especially Otis since it is similar to Owen and has the Otis Redding retro-cool factor. Edgar has the Edgar Allan Poe connection, and I just don't think Clyde is that awful. I'd add Ebenezer, Egbert, Igor, and Waldo, partly because of widely known associations for some of them. I've been surprised before though. I'd have put money on Matilda never seeing the light of day again…
kimihaParticipant9 months, 2 weeks ago
ash, lol! im surprised at your response. i think beatrice, mabel and susannah are doable. not my faves but they could grow on me. i dont see anything attractive about agnes and otis. its funny how some names can be perceived very differently.
one name that i think is coming back into style but i dont understand why is olive.
ashthedreamerParticipant9 months, 2 weeks ago
@kimiha – omgoodness! I love Olive. Meh, it's not everyone's style, but I think she's so so sweet, and a nice alternative to the popular Olivia. I'd use her as a nn for Olivia, sometimes, I think. Don't you have an old hag name you love? hahaha. Agnes is mine. I love her. I have ever since I've heard the name pronounced in French (ahn-YESS!), and I really like it in English, too. I think the nn Annie for it is cute, too, even if a bit of a stretch. I don't know. I just like it. I like it much better than Agatha, which really seems to have caught on.
I love Susannah! I know a few of the names on that list have been used but I still think of them as a "WHY would you want to revive *that* one?" And actually, I'm not surprised by Alfred (though it sounds quite stuffy and pretentious to me), but I really haven't seen Alma, Maude, Virgil or Otis mentioned at all that I can recall with all my time spent on baby name message boards or elsewhere. Hmm.
Kimiha, I'm with you on Olive. Just kind of a homely-sounding name to me. Sorry, Ash!
Oh and I totally forgot I don't like Agatha. That actually is probably the least attractive-sounding name I can think of. I looked at the list of top 200 names from 1900-1909 for inspiration when creating my own list.
Did any of you guys watch The Andy Griffith Show when you were kids? That is probably what ruined the name Otis for me. That and to me it just has an unappealing sound.
haha! Otis Campbell? The drunk dude? I never watched the show, but have you heard of Adventures in Odyssey? I think your boys are probably still a bit too young for it, but the actor who played Otis plays this amazing grandfather character on the show, John Avery Whittaker. So I think of Whit instead of the drunk dude on The Andy Griffith Show, and it's a good tie. I'm weird. I could see your family getting into AIO. Quite a few Christians I know have heard it–it's put out by Focus on the Family and I still listen to it. hahaha. In fact, I just borrowed an album from the library today that I don't own.
Erm, I think Alma is more in other countries. I think I've heard it's pretty big in Brazil, and a couple other South American countries. Maude… Sophie Winkleman (sp?), a British actress, named her daughter Maud (Maude?) sometime this year. Maude Elizabeth Daphne Marina, I think. She's married to some duke or lord or earl or something in England. I've heard quite a bit of talk about it on the other name site I go on, Nameberry. I've heard Otis over there quite a bit, too. Idk, it's funky and vintage. I have a bad association to Otis as a surname, but I think it's a fun name name! And Virgil. Really? I know of someone on Nameberry who has a son named Virgil, and someone else who has Virgil on her short list, and I hear it tossed around over there with regularity. I don't mind it. It seems a bit pretentious to me, though, thanks to THE Virgil.
kimihaParticipant9 months, 1 week ago
lol. yea i think alot of people like olive. i guess it could grow on me. it just doesnt sound like a name. hmm what old hag name do i love? im sure i could think of one. thats a good thing to call them haha
Och, I forgot one! Edith. (That I like, I mean, haha.) Wouldn't Agnes, Edith, and Olive make the most darling sisters? I had always thought if I went the super-old-fashioned route, I would have three girls named Agnes, Edith, and Meryl (still really like them together!), but I think Olive would fit in really well. Agnes, Edith, and Olive. Annie, Edie, and Liv. How cute is that?
yellowwattsParticipant9 months, 1 week ago
Oh I agree with most of these!
And in regards to Alfred, we have a little neighbor boy (about 7 or so) named Alfred but I think he's named after his dad.
Ash, don't do it! Please!! You have so many gorgeous names on your list already!
I do think Edie is an absolutely adorable nn but I can't get behind Edith.
And yeah, I think sometimes names get popular on a particular name message board where it starts to grow on people, but it may not be as common or well-liked in the general population. I think on name boards, you do tend to start influencing each other's taste over time, or you get tired of certain names you hear too much and think it's "too popular" when it's really only popular on that board and not in general.
Oh and yes, I listened to AIO a few times when I was younger and I know my older sister's kids are into it. I haven't introduced it to my boys yet but that might be an idea for our upcoming road trip.

MermaidtailsParticipant9 months, 1 week ago
Vernon, Hester, Ethel, Floyd, Lloyd, Boyd, I hate names like that lol. I also don't like agatha, Mildred, Gertrude, Beulah, fanny, Gladys, Bertha, Geraldine, myrtle, Deloris…icky
lcd1912Participant9 months, 1 week ago
I met a teenager yesterday who named her baby Bernard.. A Teen! Bernard??! And Dorothy, our one grandparent's name I just can't like or bring back…
I agree with all of those, mermaidtails and lcd1912! I could see Dorothy as a MN, but other than that … (I did know a little girl named Dorothea when I was a kid but I don't think I've met a young Dorothy!)
I don't know–how old are Will and Alex now? I tried to get one of my favorite little girls to listen to it (she was seven at the time), and she really wasn't too interested in it. I think it was just a bit too ahead of her still. I think it's recommended for kids 8-12, but obviously younger kids do listen to it. The might like it, though. I'm obviously a huge fan, though, haha!
They're turning 5 next month. Maybe I'll wait a few years.

Wonderful. I love how it is simple not forced. My one suggestion would be commas. I think it would flow better if there was a break.
For Example:
The taste of it,
Upon my lips.
The sound of it,
On my breath.
The feel of it,
In my skin.
It is just a suggestion and nothing more! It is a very goodp iece of work. You are on your way up the poetry ladder! <?xml:namespace prefix = da />

Object Experiences Design Emergency
Thursday March 15 2012
Louise Ingram is Object's General Manager.
A few days ago, the Object team took a day out of the office to participate in a Design Emergency workshop. Design Emergency is a program Object has been developing for the past two years. It aims to teach people (kids, community groups, corporates) how to use design thinking to address challenges in their lives.
Our design challenge saw us take to the local streets, interviewing shop owners, taking photos, making some really fun models out of paddle pop sticks and paper, and brainstorming what was the issue, what was the impact, and why did it matter?
One really cool tool is to interrogate an issue by asking 'why?' five times (reminds me of dinner with my three year old!)
We had a really fun time, and felt that we had actually done some fresh thinking around the design challenge.
Object has been piloting the program with primary school kids, and they love it. It's a really powerful way of teaching people how to think, not what to think. You can read more about Design Emergency by clicking here, and look out for issue 62 of Object magazine, out in the next few weeks, for a feature on Design Emergency.

The original madcap woodwind player of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention, Jim Sherwood, passed away on Dec. 25 at age 69. Cause of death is not yet determined.
Sherwood, an adept and classically trained multi-instrumentalist, played baritone and tenor saxophone and percussion and contributed vocals to the Mothers of Inventions' landmark first psychedelic records, including 1968's "Cruising With Ruben & the Jets" and their 1966 debut, "Freak Out!"
Search: Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention
A childhood friend of Zappa's, Sherwood also performed on Zappa's first solo album, 1967's "Lumpy Gravy," and in the 1971 avant-garde film "200 Motels." Sherwood later described his "200 Motels" character as "in love with a vacuum cleaner."
After the Mothers of Invention disbanded in 1969, Sherwood still collaborated with Zappa and his bandmates; the group's epic swan song, "Weasels Ripped My Flesh," hinged largely on his aggressive instrumental theatrics.
Sherwood was called "Motorhead" by his bandmates because of his obsessive love of fixing up cars. As the now-deceased Zappa told Rolling Stone in 1968:
"Euclid James 'Motorhead' Sherwood I've known for 12 years. We were in high school in Lancaster together. He used to play baritone sax in the Omens. He has the ability to perform a dance known as the bug, which resembles an epileptic fit. He's one of those guys you say, 'I know this guy who's really weird and I want to show him to you.' He was our equipment handler for a while, and when we started the atrocities, we started handing him our instruments to see what would happen. He played things more imaginative than the proficient musicians could lay down. It was just him against the machine in his mouth, a saxophone. He is also very proficient at dolls and visual aids."
Sherwood carried the fond nickname -- and the dolls -- up through one of his final musical projects, the Grandmothers, a troupe of musicians who had collaborated with Zappa throughout his career.

The only significant name off the top of my head is Clarence Clemons, who broke out with the Bruce's E Street Band in the 70's. But yeah, if drugs didn't take some musicians outright, the aftereffects of high living and the stress of the music life took them later: John Entwistle, Rick Danko, John Phillips, Denny Doherty, Maurice Gibb(after Andy o.d.'d) Doug Sahm, Lou Rawls, Wilson Pickett to name a few. Don't expect most of those who came along after them and lived like that to live into their 80's either.

Keeping Up with Tenzin Ösel Hita
FPMT News Around the World
Tenzin Ösel Hita visited Lama Zopa Rinpoche at Kopan Monastery in Nepal in December. In addition, Ösel with his co-director Matteo Passigato released a new film Being Your True Nature. The 20-minute movie introduces viewers to Universal Education for Compassion and Wisdom, Lama Yeshe's vision for creating a happier and more peaceful world. The film premiered on Lama Tsongkhapa Day at Kopan Monastery and many other FPMT centers around the world. You can watch Being Your True Nature online by visiting the movie's website.
In November, Ösel sent out a message to the FPMT family. He writes:
First of all, I would like to say hello to everybody working so hard every day for the benefit of sentient beings through the organization of FPMT. I understand that many of you have extra jobs in order to maintain your family and basic needs in life. Also, many of you work as volunteers part time, apart from all the other work you have to cope with. It is very hard, and inspiring. I truly admire every one and each of you for all the effort, dedication and consistency that keeps the organization going. …
You can read the complete letter online. To keep track of the most recent news from Ösel, visit Ösel's news page at FPMT.org.
With more than 160 centers, projects and services around the globe, there is always news on FPMT activities, teachers and events. Mandala hopes to share as many of these timely stories as possible. If you have news you would like to share, please let us know.

10 Easy Birthday Party Tips
Getting ready to celebrate your child's birthday? It's one of the biggest days of the year! With these 10 easy entertaining hints, you can pull off an amazing party with little effort. Let's get started!
Don't Stress!
If you've visited any party planning websites lately, you might feel a little overwhelmed when it comes to planning your child's next birthday party. Don't worry; you don't need to rent a castle. There are easier ways to create a fun, colorful event with meaningful details that your child will remember forever. Try a few of these hints next time you're planning a party.
Keep Food Simple
Kids are easy to please when it comes to food, so I don't stress over garnishes or gourmet ingredients for my party menu. Simple packed lunches become a pretty table display when you staple to them an embellishment: a paper doily, a postcard or a photograph does the trick.
Fresh Flower Cupcake Toppers
You don't have to be the Cake Boss to make an appealing cupcake display. Save time on decorating by simply frosting your cupcakes and garnishing them with seasonal flowers. To save even more time, ask your local supermarket bakery to sell you unfrosted cupcakes so all you have to do is decorate them.
Photo Clothesline Decoration
Before you buy party decorations, look around to see what you have in your own home. Add a personalized touch by stringing a "clothesline" between trees or garden stakes, and attach photos of the birthday baby and/or party guests.
Recycle Frames
Save old frames or hunt for them at garage sales and consignment shops (without glass is fine), and use them on tables to label food, proclaim celebratory messages or add to the party theme. For my daughter's western party, I displayed several framed photos that my father-in-law had taken at a cattle ranch.
Name Tags for Guests
Colorful nametags can be easily designed by hand or by using basic photo editing software. Not only do they look great as decorations when your guests arrive, but they make little kids feel extra special and welcome.
Butcher Paper Table Cloths
A roll of butcher paper can be used to create festive tablecloths that are both inexpensive and disposable. Tie in your party theme as I did for this Christmas setting by painting the paper once it's taped down. Or, let your child draw pictures or add stamps.
Bring Dress-Up Outside
Have the party decorations down but don't know what to do to keep the kids entertained? Don't overthink it. For a little girl's party, try hauling a full-length mirror and a basket of dress-up clothes outside. The guests at my daughter's tea party were happily entertained without any adult involvement.
Use Furniture for Tables
Before you rent or borrow tables, consider using furniture to display party elements. An old nightstand that had been collecting dust in our garage became the perfect detail to transform an ordinary pumpkin-carving event into a party to remember. Wooden ladders are another great display tool.
Use Colorful Paper Straws
My favorite inexpensive party detail is always paper straws. They're simple, colorful and classic. Serve drinks in Mason jars, slip in a paper straw and suddenly the party refreshments have been transformed into colorful gifts. Most craft stores carry paper straws now.
Check Dollar Bins for Favors
Party favors don't require hours of slaving over Pinterest-worthy details. Keep your eye on the dollar bins at Target or craft stores for small gifts, and tie in your theme by attaching handwritten tags and stickers.

We're two weeks into our New Year's Resolutions to lose weight and some of us have already thrown in the towel.
The FOX Medical Team's Beth Galvin wants to share some red flags you may experience when it comes to weight loss scams.
Although we all want a quick fix, there is really no such thing.
Beth sat down with Dr. Darria Long-Gillespie for some tips on how to spot weight loss scam.
Dr. Long-Gillespie says it's a good idea to go online and do a little research to find out which plan or program fits you and what you want to achieve. She said pay attention to words like "miraculous" or "never before published."
Be wary of any plan that claims over the counter supplements, detoxes, cleanses or even colonics will help you lose weight. Same thing with companies that claim their products are the only way to slim you down.
If your intuition tells you something isn't right. Listen to it.
The FOX Medical Team's Beth Galvin shows us new tactics doctors are trying, to help patients tackle anxiety.

According to the College's internal statistics, peer tutors help over 90% of the students they were working with finish their courses with grades at or higher than they expected without tutoring. Also, nearly 100% of the students tutored report feeling that tutoring helped them to become more independent learners.
Students who require tutoring services must make an appointment with Doreen Kelly in the Learning Centre for assessment.

Students with documented disabilities or special needs are entitled by law appropriate services and accommodations during their studies. Such disabilities include but are not limited to: physical and sensory disabilities involving hearing, vision, or motor skills; organic disorders; diagnosed learning disabilities such as dyslexia or dysorthographia or medical conditions due, for example, to an illness or an accident. Services and accommodations may include extended time and the use of a quiet room for completion of exams, the use of special software or equipment, or the specialized assistance of another person. Where the request for accommodation is based on pre-existing conditions, the student should typically notify the College prior to the start of the semester. Supporting documentation signed by a medical or qualified professional must be presented in order to benefit from accommodations.

Allen Pizzey is unimpressed with the success of the surge or with Dick Cheney's description of the overall package as "a successful endeavor." But what does Pizzey know? He's just a long-time veteran of the Iraq reporting game who's traveled many times to Baghdad over an eighteen year period. Why trust him when we could listen to John "I don't know the difference between Iran and al-Qaeda" McCain?
