America does a slightly better job at feeding adults, with an overall food insecurity rate of 15.9 percent. The good news is that that's down from 16.4 percent in 2011, and 1.1 million fewer Americans went hungry in 2012 than in 2011, but that's where the optimism ends. Roughly 49 million Americans remained food insecure.
Food insecurity, defined by the Census Bureau and Agriculture Department as the condition of having limited or uncertain access to adequate food, remains concentrated in rural America. Feeding America's data lets the group make county-by-county comparisons. The 10 percent of American counties with the highest rates of food insecurity was more rural in the 2012 data than it was in the 2011 numbers. After accounting for just 48 percent of the hungriest counties in 2011, rural America now makes up 52 percent of the 2012 pool.
The disparity between the hungriest tenth of American counties and the rest is stark. Food insecurity rates average 14 percent across the bottom 90 percent of counties, but that figure leaps to 23 percent in the 324 hungriest ones. The hungriest counties are concentrated in the south and southeastern United States, with less than 12 percent of the group coming from outside those regions. At 22.3 percent, Mississippi has the highest rate of food insecurity of any state.
But the much lower rates of food insecurity in high-population metropolitan areas could obscure the fact that huge raw numbers of people face hunger in places with lower rates. The top four counties with the highest number of hungry people mirror the list of the country's largest cities. Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, and Houston claim a combined 4,595,780 food-insecure persons, yet have food insecurity rates far below those of the rural counties where residents face a higher probability of hunger.
More than a quarter of the nation's food-insecure people earn too much money to qualify for government assistance yet are still unable to provide adequate food for their families throughout the year, according to the report. Those same programs have faced wave upon wave of funding cuts even as private food charities have said repeatedly that they do not have the capacity to pick up the government's slack.

RAFAEL BEJARANO, RAIL TRIP, Winner: "Unbelievable, he just galloped. This was the first time I've ever been on him. He surprised me a lot. I knew I had a lot of horse at the end. I thought I was going to win easy, but not this easy. It was really good. I think this horse is going to be the best horse around."
RON ELLIS, RAIL TRIP, Winner: "He was still learning how to run last year. He's a much more mature horse now, physically and mentally. He's filled out. He's a fresh horse and he's happy, but he's got to win the Gold Cup first to say he's better than last year. He sure acts like it with the way he's training and acting. In last year's race (the Leroy), it was the first time he's ever been behind horses and it schooled him real well. He learned a lot from Ball Four. He put it together each time after that."

"Mathematics is biology's next microscope, only better." That's what the scientist Joel E Cohen once said of the power of mathematics to revolutionise biology and the biomedical sciences. And he was right. Maths enables scientists to understand complex organisms and diseases, it's crucial in developing sophisticated medical technology and materials, and we can even use it to model our psyche and intelligence. In this sense maths has become a genuine research instrument for biomedical sciences. The insight it gives them are on a par with the revolutionising power of the microscope.

How do you judge the risks and benefits of new medical treatments, or of lifestyle choices? With a finite health care budget, how do you decide which treatments should be made freely available on the NHS? Historically, decisions like these have been made on the basis of doctors' individual experiences with how these treatments perform, but over recent decades the approach to answering these questions has become increasingly rational.
One of the greatest advances in the biomedical sciences has been the unravelling of our genetic code. This new understanding sheds light on what makes organisms function and how they are related to each other, helps to combat diseases, and to convict criminals. But it also poses great mathematical challenges: the genetic revolution is an information explosion which can only be tamed using mathematical methods.

Thomas Alva Edison (February 11 1847 - October 18 1931) was an American inventor and businessman who developed many devices which greatly influenced life in the 20th century. Dubbed "The Wizard of Menlo Park" by a newspaper reporter, he was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of mass production to the process of invention, and can therefore be credited with the creation of the first industrial research laboratory. Some of the inventions attributed to him were not completely original but amounted to improvements of earlier inventions or were actually created by numerous employees working under his direction. Nevertheless, Edison is considered one of the most prolific inventors in history, holding 1,097 U.S. patents in his name, as well as many patents in the United Kingdom, France, and Germany.

text: Fortunately, I saw this pair of Timber Rattlers before I stepped on them. They were in the grassy area just outside the family cabin in Clinton County, PA, an area referred to as the Wilds Of Pennsylvania. It was also fortunate the younger members of the family, the two to six year old children had already left for home. The day prior to this they were all playing right here. Anyway, these two went at it from 8:30 AM to at least 8:30 PM. They could have cared less about us watching. The only time I heard a rattle was when the female wanted to leave. I think I shot about 8GBs of their mating ritual. The product of this union will be born live encased in a thin egg-like membrane. It was fascinating watching these beautiful creatures. I hope the link works. Enjoy.

Need your Help: Daily Mail
They are really outdoing themselves this time.
I can't post on their site but if any of you can go here and post some comments I would be greatly obliged. If it isn't too late that is. This post has been delayed as I have been trying to research some stats.
Most of the comments are just funny. Many of them are from embittered older nurses who don't have a clue about what is going on these days. As a matter of fact, most of them still seem to think that project 2000 is still in existence. It hasn't been used to train nurses in about 15 years.
The Nurses who did train under project 2000 are less than a fraction of a percent of the workforce.
Nurses tend to be older. The vast majority of Nurses working in the NHS RIGHT THIS MINUTE trained under the old system.
Latest quotes I am getting are saying that less than 3% of Nurses in the NHS right NOW did NOT train under the old system. That means that 97% of them did train under the old system. But lets be conservative. Let's say only 70 percent of current Nurses trained under the old system. That still means that currently only 30% of our Nurses trained under the new system. But I am still researching this so do not quote this as gospel. It doesn't matter anyway, as the vast majority of staff on the wards are not nurses and didn't train under any kind of system.
So what is the deal with blaming poor standards of basic care educated nurses who critically think? Nurses like that are a rarity in the NHS. They are so rare, in fact, and so outnumbered by old fashioned trained Nurses that they cannot be the ones to blame for the current situation. I don't blame the old fashioned Nurses either. The vast majority of my RN colleagues are old fashioned trained. They have been doing their jobs for decades, stayed current with their knowledge and know their stuff.
If the Daily Mail and the public really cared about in hospital care they would:
A. Promote safe RN to patient ratios
B. push hospitals to invest money in the front lines of care
C. Invest in 24 hour in hospital services.
The problem is the way that these wards are run and the lack of support for Nurses. I will do some comparisons of my time working as a Nurse in North America and as an NHS Nurse in order to demonstrate what I mean. Next post.

this crap, this crap, this crap and the one where it all began, this pile of shite.
Annoyingly, their goal is admirable but the completely fucked up way they go after front line staff as their primary target completely undermines any sensible discussion that might be generated. Clare Raynor must be spinning in her grave at what is being purported in her name.

In my opinion Clair Raynor is one of the people who started this shit.
After being away from frontline care for decades and I MEAN decades she was the first one to declare that the whole problem was modern nurses who don't care. I don't care if she is dead she is a moron for saying that.
From the moment she said that people started ignoring the appalling nurse patient ratios on the NHS, the appalling lack of resources and training for nurse etc etc etc and they only focused on slamming modern nurses for these lapses in care. Funny that, considering old fashioned trained Nurses are the VAST MAJORITY in today's Nursing workforce both at the coal face and in nurse management positions.
But try explaining that to Joe Fuckface public.
I just came her from the Nursing Times, where a women was calling Two Nurses who were left alone to care for a whole ward of patients
" cruel, uncaring and should hang up their cloaks".

Here we go Murse:
My comment was harsh but that doesn't detract from it's truthfulness. The public is ignorant, has unrealistic demands, does not understand how hospitals work, does not understand the limitations Nurses and doctors have ,cannot handle the realities of sickness and death any more and are crashing the service with their unrealistic and fanciful expectations.
Mean but 100% true.
If we want to save our blessed NHS we need to administer intelligence pills to the public. Sorry.

On consideration you're right, Raynor was a cow, probably smirking rather than spinning. And your comment on the NT was fantastic!

Have tried commenting on the DF site. Will have to see if it gets through moderation. Also find the "we can edit your comments" bit rather off-putting. a few other nurses have also commented about the issue of staffing levels and acuity. However the most popular comments are still of the too posh to wash brigade. Typical of the readership of this rag, I guess :0(
- 7 December 2010 12:20
Been back and the number of comments is still at 27, which was what it was at 7 hours ago.
- 7 December 2010 14:55
At least there is one article that starts to state the truth! But where the hell has ratios of less than that!
- 7 December 2010 21:35
- Kristina said...
OUTRAGEOUS! It's an industry that makes millions and billions of $ each year and they can't have sufficient frontline care!
- 8 December 2010 01:03
- Nurse Anne said...
It is a government run organisation. That means that no matter how many billions and trillions goes in.....the money will be gone before it hits the frontlines.
At the end of the day the public just blames and abuses doctors and nurses over it rather than dealing with the real issues. Which of course makes it very easy for management to starve the frontlines of care.

Scholarship created in honor of Edward J. Bagale
September 7, 2012
DEARBORN/September 7, 2012-Their interests are varied, but their passion to make a difference brought them together as 2012 University of Michigan-Dearborn Difference Makers, a program that recognizes students who are improving the lives of others. Now, five of these studentsJennifer Drake, Iffa Kazi, Donna Posont, Benita Robinson and Lance Slattonhave been recognized as the first recipients of the Edward J. Bagale Difference Makers Scholarship.
The scholarships, available to students previously selected as UM-Dearborn Difference Makers, support student educational goals and student-led projects that impact the community.
The joy we experience at UM-Dearborn is because we see the work and the achievements of our alumni; we watch our students succeed, Bagale said.
This year, the students will work to bring projects to life on campus and throughout the Detroit metropolitan region.
On campus, Drake, Kazi and Slatton will use funds to launch or strengthen student-based programs.
Drake will bring financial speaker Rachel Cruze to campus later this month to discuss personal money management issues. Following the event, students can participate in Foundations in Personal Finance, a six-week video-based class.
My hope is to cause a financial paradigm shift and plant seeds of hope, she said.
Kazi plans to use the funds to further develop the Diversity Summit she helped organize last year. This years two-day event will include a volunteer project followed by dialoguing and discussion groups to talk about philanthropy, engagement and inclusion.
Students will get the benefit of seeing how the philanthropic acts of others impact their daily lives, enabling them to want to pay it forward, whether it is by giving back their time, their money or their expertise, Kazi said.
Slatton will use the scholarship to support campus health care resources. Slatton will launch a Health Care Resource and Support Expo for UM-Dearborn students and alumni this fall that will include more than 20 health care providers, educators and agencies and provide students with free health care screenings and resources.
What I am most passionate about is ensuring that every student is given access to health care resources and assistance to their health care and social needs, he said.
Posont and Robinson will use their scholarships to support programs geared toward community members, including area youth.
Posont will use funds to support Birding by Ear activities for blind and visually impaired children and adults. She also plans to lead birding weekends throughout the year at a state park.
While learning about birds, [participants] are learning why it is important to preserve their habitat, and they are understanding how birds are a valuable part of ecosystems, she said. Once they understand what is going on around them in the natural environment, then they have more of a chance of caring and wanting to be good stewards of the planet and its inhabitants.
Robinsons scholarship will enable her to host an introductory computer safety and etiquette course for Detroit Public Schools students.
I hope to get students interested in learning about technology, teach them how to effectively use a rapidly growing toolsocial mediaand teach children precautionary measures of protecting themselves against Internet predators, Robinson said.
Students received their scholarships at a reception announcing the Edward J. Bagale Difference Makers Scholarship fund.
Bagale, vice chancellor for government relations, has worked nearly 40 years in higher education, including 33 years at UM-Dearborn. His work has helped transform the campus, securing state funding for the construction of numerous buildings such as the College of Arts, Sciences and Letters Building, Social Sciences Building, the Environmental Interpretive Center, the University Center, the Fairlane Center and the upcoming Science Building renovation project.
Bagale also was instrumental in developing a partnership with Oakwood Hospital that led to the enhancement of the Early Childhood Education Center (ECEC), a State of Michigan-approved education and child care center for young children that serves as a model teacher preparation and child study facility for students enrolled in a variety of UM-Dearborn education courses.
Long active in the community, he has been a catalyst for restoring the Rouge River, has provided leadership to establish an Automobile National Heritage Area and a new Train Depot for Dearborn, and promoted sustainable development throughout the Detroit Metropolitan Area. Bagale serves on several boards, and was awarded the Detroit Free Press Shining Light Eleanor Josaitis Unsung Hero Award in 2010 for his life work.
The Edward J. Bagale Difference Makers Scholarship fund began with a gift from Alexander Alan Turfe, (88, B.S.A.) and his family.
God has blessed me with the best-est of angels, Ed Bagale. Ed, you are the Difference Maker in my life, said Turfe in a note to Bagale. To the Difference Makers, we are all excited about your projects and futures. I trust that as your careers grow, that you will quietly help and give back to this university and never forget the example of Ed Bagale.
Founded in 1959 with a gift of just over 200 acres of land and $6.5 million from the Ford Motor Company, University of Michigan-Dearborn is a metropolitan university serving southeastern Michigan, committed to excellence rooted in strong academics, innovative research and programming and civic engagement. The University has nearly 9,000 students pursuing more than 100 bachelor's, masters, doctoral and professional degrees in liberal arts and sciences, engineering, business and education. A top-ranked university with a faculty devoted to teaching, and students committed to achievement, UM-Dearborn has been shaped by its history of partnering with local leaders and communities, and is committed to finding solutions for the challenges that face the region.

Let's Talk Blinds - Live Chat
or Call Us
Wood blinds, particularly basswood blinds, are the gold standard in horizontal blinds. Basswood is a relatively light weight wood that inherently displays subtle, yet beautiful grain patterns. Hardwood blinds from Selectblinds are the obvious choice, get wood-blinds for up to 87% off retail!
Real wood products might offer the look that you want, but for any number of reasons, including budget and climate, are not always the right solution for a horizontal blind. Faux wood blinds look like real wood, but offer a more affordable price, and vinyl is less likely to warp in extreme climates, or high humidity situations.
Window blinds that are durable, affordable, and just plain able, define the qualities of aluminum blinds. Mini window blinds are the right choice for a window covering that must stand the test of time and heavy use. Select Blinds offers a variety of slat sizes in both 6 gauge, 7 gauge and 8 gauge warp resistant aluminum.
Sliding glass doors simply scream for vertical blinds. Verticals from SelectBlinds.com offer your choice of draw, meaning left stack, right stack, and even center stack, and are made of a variety of materials, including the same faux wood found in our faux horizontal blinds.
Plantation shutters look great, once they are installed. Selectblinds.com offers custom made-to-fit products that are easy to install yourself. Choose from many interior shutter options like: standard folding, café style, and French door styles to absolutely beautify your home.

U.S. Coast Guard Chief Petty Officer Terrell Horne III, of Redondo Beach, died near Santa Cruz Island in Santa Barbara County from a traumatic head injury he suffered when his head hit a propeller after he was thrown from his boat by the impact, according to a complaint filed by federal prosecutors.
Horne, 34, lived in Patterson as a boy from 1987 to 1995, when he left for Florida, where he spent the remainder of his high school years, said Patterson resident John Kuipers, Horne's former stepfather. Kuipers was married to Horne's mother for 12 years, including the time when Horne lived in Patterson.
"He joined the Coast Guard because he wanted to make a difference in life, and that's what he ended up doing," Kuipers said Monday, Dec. 3.
Horne, a boatswain's mate, is survived by his expectant wife and two children, Kuipers said.
Horne and another officer, who had minor injuries, were both thrown from the boat and picked up by the Coast Guard cutter Halibut, the coastal patrol vessel on which Horne served as second-in-command, according to Coast Guard Petty Officer Seth Johnson and a news release produced by the Coast Guard.
Federal prosecutors have charged both Manuel Beltran-Higuera and Jose Meija-Leyva with Horne's death. Meija-Leyva told investigators he was the pilot of the boat, prosecutors said.
Horne and other members of the Halibut crew began pursuing the panga— a nearly 30-foot-long open-bowed fishing vessel — after a Coast Guard airplane crew spotted the boat moving through the water with no lights on, according to federal prosecutors.
At about 1:20 a.m. Sunday, the cutter sent out a rigid-hull inflatable boat, with Horne and three other officers on board, and it approached the panga with its blue law-enforcement lights on, according to federal prosecutors. The panga sped directly toward the Coast Guard boat, which tried to move out of the way, and struck the inflatable boat before fleeing, federal prosecutors said.
The Halibut crew immediately retrieved Horne and the other officer and their boat and attempted first aid on Horne, according to a release from the Coast Guard. At Port Hueneme, where emergency medical service units met the cutter at the pier, Horne was pronounced dead.
Coast Guard customs and border patrol teams caught up with the fleeing panga about 20 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border and arrested two people who they found on board, according to federal prosecutors.
The San Pedro-based Los Angeles Border Enforcement Security Task Force, a multi-agency group that investigates the smuggling of narcotics and of people who enter the U.S. illegally into the United States, is pursuing the case.
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of our shipmate," said Coast Guard Commandant Admiral Robert J. Papp in a prepared statement. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends, and his shipmates aboard Coast Guard cutter Halibut. We are focused on supporting them during this very difficult time.
"Our fallen shipmate stood the watch on the front lines protecting our nation, and we are all indebted to him for his service and sacrifice."
In his prepared statement, Papp also commended the Coast Guard and customs and border protection units who continued the pursuit and apprehended the suspects.
Accomplished career
During nearly 14 years of active duty, Horne served at Coast Guard stations in Emerald Isle, N.C.; Humboldt Bay on the Northern California coast; and Charleston, S.C., according to Papp. He also sailed aboard the cutter Dallas, which was stationed in Charleston until it was transferred to the Philippines this year.
Horne received a Coast Guard Commendation Medal in Emerald Isle for his leadership in 63 search-and-rescue cases, which saved 38 lives, according to a Los Angeles Times report.
He was involved in a January operation in which the Halibut stopped two boats filled with 2,000 pounds of marijuana that were navigating at midnight with no lights, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Horne's past assignments also included patrolling the coast of Somalia for pirates, according to Kuipers, who described Horne as a "good man."
"He really was a down-to-earth guy that everybody liked," Kuipers said. "He never got in trouble. ... He cared about people. That showed in his work."
Local memories
Kevin Scoles, a former classmate and friend of Horne, recalled this week that Horne got along with everyone in high school, regardless of their personal style or interests.
"Terrell was such a great guy," Scoles stated in an email. "He never judged anyone and had a great heart from the get-go. … It's a shame that more people aren't that way. He definitely leaves a great legacy with the people that knew him."
Jennifer Hamm, a member of Horne's class who is now a coach and teacher at Patterson High School, said she recalled Horne being quiet in class, but kind and approachable.
"He was just an awesome guy," she said. "It's just tragic that something like this would happen."
Coast Guard officials are establishing a memorial fund, Kuipers said Monday. In the meantime, condolences can be sent to the United States Coast Guard Office of Law Enforcement, 2100 Second St. SW, Washington, DC 20593.
Reflections also can be posted on the Officer Down Memorial Page posted online.

Ringo Starr Announces Down Under And Japan Dates
Thursday, October 18, 2012
Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band have announced a six-date swing through New Zealand and Japan, with the tour's Australia dates set to be announced on October 26th. Ringo kicks off the overseas shows on February 7th, 2013 in Christchurch, New Zealand and, as of now, winds down the trek on March 1st in Osaka, Japan.
Ringo will once again enlist the help of last summer's All Starr lineup, which included Todd Rundgren, Billy Joel's longtime saxophonist Mark Rivera, Mr. Mister's Richard Page, drummer Gregg Bissonette, Santana and Journey co-founding keyboardist Gregg Rollie, and Toto's co-founding guitarist Steve Lukather.
Ringo talked about the upcoming tour in the press release announcing the shows, saying: "The tour this summer was just GREAT -- I love playing with this band and I can't wait to get back out and play with them again. I am looking forward to revisiting Japan with the All Starrs and of course New Zealand and Australia. Peace & Love!"
With 12 All Starr Band tours under his belt over the past 23 years, Ringo admits that he can't stay off the road for long: "I retire after every tour. I can't help it. 'Oh, that's it, I've retired.' Everybody in the family laughs at me, and I say, 'No, I'm serious, I've retired.' And then six months later, you say, 'Well, what do I do? I play.' And then I'm back out on the road."
Ringo Starr & His All Starr Band tour dates (subject to change):
February 7 - Christchurch, New Zealand - CBS Canterbury Arena,
February 9 - Auckland, New Zealand - Vector Arena
February 25, 26 - Tokyo, Japan - Zepp Arena
February 27 - Nagoya, Japan - Zepp Hall
March 1 - Osaka, Japan - Zepp Hall
