Corrections & Amplifications
Nancy Lanza, the mother of the suspect in the mass shootings at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, wasn't a teacher at the school. In some editions Saturday, a page-one article and a What's News item about the shootings incorrectly said she taught there.
In the United States in 2010, there were 5.4 opioid-related deaths per 100,000 people and 5.4 admissions for treatment of opioid addiction per 10,000 people. A graphic accompanying a page-one article in Saturday's paper reversed the labels on the two charts.
Chuck Sheketoff, the executive director of the Oregon Center for Public Policy, says that Nike Inc. NKE 0.09 % is paying "90% less than its fair share" in state taxes. A Marketplace article on Friday about Nike and Oregon's corporate tax structure incorrectly quoted him as saying the company was paying less than 90% of its fair share of state taxes.
House Speaker John Boehner has proposed increasing tax revenue by $800 billion. A U.S. News article on Friday about debate among Republicans over taxes incorrectly said he had proposed increasing revenue by $800 trillion.
In some editions Saturday, a Business & Finance article about the Federal Reserve's vote last Friday to propose guidelines to change how it regulates foreign banks operating in the U.S. incorrectly contained a reference to the vote's expected timing. The vote had already taken place.
A photo in the Dec. 11 "Photos of the Day" showed a woman waiting for customers to buy figurines to decorate Christmas nativity scenes. The caption said she was selling tchotchkes, but failed to make clear the nature of the figurines.

Cynthia Ozick was born in New York on this day in 1928. Among the high praise for Ozick's novels and essays is Anita Brookner's comment that she is "as authentic a voice of New York as was Edith Wharton before her," allowing that Ozick's terrain is not some Washington Square but "an affair of battered suburbs, of cavernous municipal buildings, of ancient Hebrew teachers living above Cuban grocery stores." Ozick's "A Drug Store Eden," included in the essay collection Quarrel & Quandary (2000), tells of the pharmacy her immigrant parents ran in the Bronx — specifically, of their dubious plan to move up from the pharmacy they rented to one they might own:
My mother was aflame with ambition, emotion, struggle. My father was reticent, and far more resigned to the world as given. Once, when the days of the Traveling Library were over, and a real library had been constructed at Westchester Square — you reached it by trolley — I came home elated, carrying a pair of books I had found side by side. One was called My Mother Is a Violent Woman; the other was My Father Is a Timid Man. These seemed a comic revelation of my parents' temperaments. My mother was all heat and enthusiasm. My father was all logic and reserve. My mother, unrestrained, could have run an empire of drug stores. My father was satisfied with one.
Together they decided to do something revolutionary; something virtually impossible in those raw and merciless times. One street over — past McCardle's sun-baked gas station, where there was always a Model-T Ford with its hood open for repair, and past the gloomy bait store, ruled over by Mr. Isaacs, a dour and reclusive veteran of the Spanish-American War who sat reading military histories all day under a mastless sailboat suspended from the ceiling — lay an empty lot in the shape of an elongated lozenge. My parents' daring plan — for young people without means it was beyond daring — was to buy that lot and build on it, from scratch, a brand-new Park View Pharmacy.
They might as well have been dreaming of taking off in Buck Rogers' twenty-fifth-century rocket ship….

Brief Synopsis
The defense budget remains one of the central shaping features of U.S. national security and national military strategy. To understand what is possible in terms of defense transformation, one must first have a firm grasp of the budgetary context of strategic decisions. The author shows that defense will continue to compete with domestic programs for that portion of the budget allocated to discretionary spending, and argues that this is a competition in which defense needs have not fared especially well in the past and may not in the future. If accurate, this assessment will have tremendous implications for defense transformation. The leaders of the Army and the Department of Defense must therefore frame their transformation strategies within fiscal realities.

'Cake Boss' Confections Coming To Grocery Stores
Fans of the reality show Cake Boss will soon be able to sample baker Buddy Valastro's creations at their local grocery store. The TLC program features Valastro and his staff turning out custom cakes for demanding customers. They'll cost about $28 each — like the "Badda Bloom," a two-layer cake with fudge filling and green frosting and decorated with pink and purple flowers.
And for today's last word in business, how about some cake with your coffee?
Fans of the reality show "Cake Boss" will soon be able to sample baker Buddy Valastro's creations at their local grocery store. The TLC program features Valastro and his staff turning out custom cakes for demanding customers.
One cake commissioned by New Jersey governor Chris Christie was big enough to feed 2,000 people. Later this summer, cakes smaller than that one in New Jersey will be massed produced and sold in grocery stores and bakeries all across the country.
MONTAGNE: Cakes will sell for about $28, like one two-layer cake with fudge filling, covered with green frosting and decorated with pink and purple flowers called the Badda Bloom.

The local elections flagged up how fed up everyone is with politics. So few people bothered to leave their TV screens and get out there to vote. It's not good. Speaking as a woman, our right to vote was hard-won. Women died in the process. I value my vote. But the apathy hanging over the UK at the moment is very worrying.
It is clear to anyone who is even vaguely interested in what is happening in the House of Commons, that our current leaders have lost their way. Mr. Cameron, a nice young chap educated at Eton College, a boarding school that prides itself in producing the flowers of British manhood, is imprisoned in his head, like a stuck chrysalis in a corner of a stately home. (that may sound patronising, but I'm allowed to be, I'm a grandmother.) And as for the rest of us – well, you voted for him. But you were unsure at the time if he could cut it, so you brought Nick Clegg into the equation and ended up with two for the price of one. They have each other to bounce off, you thought. There is safety in numbers, you thought. The whole lot of them are rubbish, so let's get them working together… some thought.
Sadly, it has all turned out to be an embarrassing mess. The cringing chaos of the last few months must have made even the most stalwart of Tory voters get tinnitus. The singing in the ears comes from hearing their leader spouting words that show how deeply out of touch he is. Liberal Democrat supporters will never find it easy to forgive or forget Mr. Clegg's disingenuous speeches about students fees. There is a phrase in the Italian language: Bella Figura. It means self-respect, putting yourself in the best light possible, making sure you come across well for the benefit of others. The subtext to this phrase, means to me, that in caring about yourself, you care about others; particularly important when you are responsible for the day-to-day lives of millions of people as a Prime Minister and his government are. Our politicians need some Bella Figura…
And what about the dropped stitches in the Rupert and James Murdoch Knitting B? The whole jumper is full of holes and it's clear that the knitting circle, though meeting regularly, had no idea what was going on outside their cosy roundelay. They were stitching up people's lives in the most extraordinary way. Over the past few months, the Levenson enquiry has unsettled everyone and we come back to that old question: does anyone, anywhere, with power have any scruples, any morals, any common sense?
Then the sheer craziness of the media time devoted to the Cornish Pasty and tax thereof. Was this a distraction to stop us seeing what is really going on? A cynical view maybe, but in the light of the trillions of pounds that have vanished through the incompetence of the banks, could it be that some of that incompetence had spilled over into No. 10? Dare I say it, but the people in the so-called top jobs seems to have difficulty in waking up and smelling the coffee right underneath their noses.
The riots of last summer were terrifying. I wonder if we are all scared now. Seeing battleships in the Thames, guns perched on blocks of flats, media moguls squirming in front of judges, people too poor to buy food to feed their children, hundreds out of work, a dead baby found on a rubbish dump, crime beginning to increase everywhere – well, the picture is like turning the clock back. Are we really living in the 21st century? And all this is happening under Cameron and Clegg's watch… Whether or not these events are as a direct result of incompetent governance is not the question. It's the public perception that things are going seriously wrong, that life is not as it should be in the UK, with this current government.

Prior to joining academia, I worked as a consultant at McKinsey and Co., and an investment banker at Citi. I was also a Post Doctoral Scholar with the Center for Research on Environmental Decisions at Columbia University. I've been teaching management at Manhattan College since 2010.
I study the influence exerted by social factors on individual and organizational tradeoffs in social and environmental dilemmas. Humans decision making is thoughtfully irrational – we, as is shown by my research, sacrifice to cover up for a lazy group member on one hand, but absolutely take advantage of a weaker competitor on the other. A vital goal in this research is to model real world decisions within their social contexts to create interventions and best practice models that can enhance decision maker effectiveness. To that end, I work extensively with agribusinesses in the Argentine Pampas to capture the environmental and social consequences of human economic decisions. My multi-method research combines lab and field experiments to study the role of social context and relationships in highly competitive situations. It is funded by the National Science Foundation and has been published in both business and psychology journals.

Vegans in lettuce bikinis to hand out free cocoa on Nicollet Mall today
Hot vegan cocoa a go go
If you've ever looked into the depths of a steaming cup of liquid chocolate and thought, "Could I get this with a side salad?" have we got the event for you. Today, PETA representatives will take to Nicollet Mall wearing salad -- and not much else -- while handing out cups of hot cocoa.
At noon today at the intersection of Nicollet Mall and Ninth Street, women who have been dubbed PETA's "Sexy Lettuce Ladies" will be handing out cups of steaming hot vegan cocoa to passersby. They're called "Lettuce Ladies," as they will be wearing nothing but "strategically placed lettuce leaves," which will no doubt freeze in moments because it's ridiculously cold out there.

Bloomberg Has Always Said Whatever the Hell He Wants
"Um, how do you think I got wealthy?"
Take note, folks, because the powerful white guy has shared yet another tip for becoming a billionaire: Speak your mind all the time! (Previously: no peeing, no vacation.) "People say, 'Oh, you know, you're wealthy now, you have the luxury of saying things that you want to say,'" Mayor Bloomberg said on the radio today. "Um, how do you think I got wealthy? I really believe that." No one doubts that part.

Watch out for turtles crossingMay 06,2013The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department is reminding drivers that reptiles and amphibians are on the move this time of year.
The agency said amphibians migrate by the thousands each spring looking for breeding pools. They can frequently cross roads contributing to high rates of mortality among some species.
The Fish and Wildlife Department has been working to identify stretches of road where migrations take place and is working with the state Agency of Transportation to include culverts and wildlife barriers in road construction plans.
Most amphibian crossings take place on several rainy spring nights. Steve Parren, the departments wildlife diversity program director, said many frogs and salamanders are already well into their breeding season.
He said by late May turtles will start crossing roads to build nests in sandy embankments.MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...

The Jefferson County coroner's office identified the victim as 28-year-old Corey Stephenson of Bessemer. He died Saturday night at UAB Hospital after being flown by helicopter to from the scene.
Authorities are investigating the shooting, which the police chief described as "vehicle to vehicle." No suspects have been arrested in the shooting.
Hueytown is southwest of Birmingham.

The CIA Is Losing Its Drone Privileges
Moving forward, the military will reportedly be in charge.
With concerns about the transparency of the government's drone program at an all-time high, the Obama administration is planning to at least change the conversation. The Daily Beast's Daniel Klaidman reports that the CIA will cede control of targeted killings to the Pentagon, which runs a parallel drone program, in a process called "institutionalization," with the aim of codifying the process of hunting terrorists. "This is a big deal," said a government source. "It would be a pretty strong statement." According to Klaidman, "The move could potentially toughen the criteria for drone strikes, strengthen the program's accountability, and increase transparency." Potentially.
From the Daily Beast:
Perhaps most important is that the CIA's program is "covert"—which is to say it is not only highly classified, it's deniable under the law. That means the CIA, in theory, can lie about the existence of the program or about particular operations. The military's targeted killing program, however, is "clandestine"—which means it is secret but not deniable.
Or not: One legal expert pointed out, "Moving lethal drone operations exclusively to DOD might bring benefits. But DOD's lethal operations are no less secretive than the CIA's, and congressional oversight of DOD ops is significantly weaker." Klaidman weighs the consequences of the shift in much more detail here; as much as they are about logistics, they are also about public perception.
The changes could take place within a year, but will definitely occur during Obama's presidency, and may even come with a big speech about his plan, along with new CIA chief John Brennan, to "institutionalize" counterterrorism. "Barack Obama has got to be concerned about his legacy," said one former adviser. "He doesn't want drones to become his Guantanamo."


text: Q: We are planning to renovate and enlarge our home, which we have lived in since it was built in 1988. We have found BT cables running across our front garden where we intend to construct foundations. The same has occurred at the back of the house, where we intend to widen the drive. We have never had any "way-leave" or agreement with BT to locate cables here. Can BT put cables wherever it chooses, and can we insist on their removal and rerouting? Similarly, we have found three Telewest cables and a duct in various locations only 25mm below

In preparation for the release of the "Godzilla" reboot this summer, the Smithsonian's Air & Space magazine wondered: How would the U.S. military respond to a real-life attack by the lizard monster?
It turns out that at least a couple members of the U.S. Air Force have thought about just such a scenario, though how serious they are about the execution of their defense plans is up for debate. Air & Space asked Senior Airman Mark Hermann and Master Sgt. Jason Edwards, stationed at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan, for their thoughts on a hypothetical Godzilla invasion, and both had some pretty inspired responses.
Hermann took the bit slightly more seriously than Edwards, speculating that the base would need all its F-15 planes and at least 600 rounds of ammunition per person to take down the beast. Godzilla's atomic breath would be a concern for troops, Hermann said, but if the monster decided to attack from underwater, "the Navy can deal with it."
Edwards offered a more offbeat approach to defeating Godzilla, noting that the monster "would be expecting an aerial attack."
"To catch him off-guard, I think we would need 4,000 Segways and slingshots," Edwards said.
Other personnel the master sergeant suggested would come in handy for a fight with Godzilla included Chuck Norris ("The obvious one," Edwards noted), the Power Rangers, George W. Bush, and the Incredible Hulk.
"The CG one, not the Lou Ferrigno one," Edwards clarified.
So there you go. The Air Force has us covered, America. We can sleep easy when "Godzilla" invades theaters on May 16.

Compliments Galore - Part 2
Posted by Michele on 31st Dec 2015
My prescription changed just a bit which gave me a reason to order my second pair of frames. I'm still getting compliments just about everywhere I go. I went to a Christmas dinner last week and one of the ladies asked me about them. I told her Wendy wears them during hot topics. She said when I walked in, she and her sister knew they were Wendy glasses lol. They are still a hit and I'm still looking good in them!!!!
Compliments Galore
Posted by Michele on 28th Apr 2015
I LOVE these frames. I had been searching for the right sized cat-eyed frames to fit my face. When I saw Wendy wearing them, I knew I had to take a chance. I also wanted to come out of my comfort zone of the usual conservative eyeglass look by thinking outside of the box. When I tell you how much confidence I have about wearing these glasses ... OMG! I have gotten soooo many compliments from friends, family, church members, random people at the malls, restaurants, grocery stores, from little girls to mature women and men ... just about everywhere I go!!! I will be ordering another pair when my prescription changes. Good buy!!!!
Posted by Glamtastic 1 on 4th Apr 2015
I truly enjoyed these frames they are classy for everyday
Wear had my prescription put in , and thus far I have received several
Compliments from both genders
lovely glasses
Posted by Pre on 16th Dec 2014
I fell in love with these once I saw Wendy Williams wearing them. I did not know if they would look good or not, but I took a chance, and boy am I happy! I ordered them with black stones on black frame and had them sent to eyecansee eyewear. I got them in a timely manner and they look great, the only complaint I have is the fact that I opened them from eyecansee eyewear and there was already a stone that fell off. I am not sure if it fell off during shipping or not but thank goodness I have some e6000 glue and I stuck it back and VIOLA good as new! I wear my glasses all the time (and get TONS of compliments), I went from a 24/7 contact wearer to a 24/7 divalicious glasses wearer....will definitely look into another pair when it is time for a new prescription!
Posted by RASHIDA on 1st Jul 2014
I just love my new glasses, everyone who see them, just loves them.

The nesuspeed tb comes a plate not only the tb itself. Good luck
Do you have the plate for the tb?
You get what you pay for it
I haven't seen one but I don't think that seller use the foam material. He use fiber glass or plastic?
Mine is real zender, the car came with me from the us
I'm living in Mexico now
I may sell mine, real zender and good condition
Yes but from tdi passat (mk3) will be easier than the jetta harness
make yourself a favor go to this web autohausaz.com write your car's information, yes the mk1 alternator has one piece plug & the mk2 alternator each cable goes to different location. bosch or...
15x7 195/50 or 205/50
Your goverment even warn you for the water, then should warn the tourist because a lot people been shot on your schools
that's true drive only a day time, people is cool in mexico, if you speak fluent Spanish not going to have problems, I drove my gti on h&r coilovers & hardly hit any bump, try not to bring a diesel...
I haven't seen one for jetta lately, only golf, i was mainly interested on a hella for golf or rabbit, so i'm looking for some suggestions in case i get one. Thanks
One advise, if you want to drive a little bit safer, use the roads on vacation time when mexicans travel to visit their families. I don't think you'll have a problem specially if you drive an older...
Im wonder if still love for these items & whats the actual fair price for the hella on brand new condition. Thanks
Looks green to me, but a better picture will solve the guessing
I just drove twice from Tijuana to Acapulco without problems, if you need help with the driving let me know
Thanks i found it, was the end of the wire, on the positive side, may be broken, only cut the round terminal & bingo. Thanks for you help

frontier town days boycott

BTW: an oppurtunity to make more $$$$ on variuos FT merchandise hoarded at the auction-nothing like milkin it.
United States
#4 Mar 19, 2012
Look at any of the surrounding towns websites and you will find non-supported events. The idea is to draw visitors. btw, do you begrudge all people that know how to make money, or is this just another example of all that hatred you harbor for certain people?
United States
#6 Mar 19, 2012
I personally think that it is a wonderful thing that someone took the initiative to celebrate something that was such a big part of our town. You're only complaining because you don't like where the event is being held. It's a classic high school scenario, someone not being invited to the party and then being upset about it. You should know all the facts before you decide to post about it.
#8 Mar 19, 2012
???.... I think someone is frothing at the mouth..
#10 Mar 20, 2012
Most likely will be an auction night. Hoping people will stay for that. You are right $$$ is the reason for having it there, not the goodness of their hearts. But not going to aurge about it. They have most of the town convinced they are doing this for the people. To bad it could not have been on the old Frontier Town Property, but no power or restrooms so I can see that problem.
#11 Mar 20, 2012
If someone falls or gets hit by a car on there private property during the event, whos responsible? The taxpayers will have to pay for that one because its advertised as a town function.
United States
#12 Mar 20, 2012
This is a joke, right?
The people in this town can't seriously be this petty. I say thank you to the young man who is organizing this, what a perfect place to hold it, with the western theme and all. I hope that the young man who is putting all this time and effort in, doesn't see this and get discouraged. If he does in fact read all of this though, i say to him, don't worry, all this hate has nothing to do with you. It's not a town event ladies, so the taxpayers can't be held responsible. I find it hard to believe that you are so uneducated that you truly believe that the taxpayers would be held accountable. It's on the town website so that the people in town can know about it, simple as that..so just leave it alone.
#13 Mar 20, 2012
What kind of a-hole are you. Dont try making it about this kid.Hes doing something great. Put your glasses on and take a closer look at that website and R--E-A-D it. It says Schroon-NH historical society is sponsoring it which to me says someones taking advantage of their tax paying job. Why dont you people try doing something honest instead of talking shit about the people calling you out on it. Maybe youd get a better turnout if you were'nt trying to pull this kind of crap. Youd be helping that poor kid if you didnt lie.

#14 Mar 20, 2012
It is no longer on the town website because the information was incorrect. I imagine it will be reposted with the "correct" facts so that this young man will get the credit he deserves. Turning this into a hate situation is just another one of your attempts to take the focus off of the real problem here. Duping people into believing they are supporting a town function is wrong and may even hurt the event. It's as simple at THAT.
United States
#15 Mar 20, 2012
You are the most hate-filled person I have ever encountered. Why don't you squat your bottom in a new town... far, far away!
#16 Mar 20, 2012
Thank you to the Gokey's for offering their facility, because in being there is no "Frontier Town".
Good luck and thank you for paying taxes and even being able to offer such a opportunity!
I'm a fan for such wonderful people to lend a helping hand!
#17 Mar 20, 2012
It is going to be a fun day, and a nice way to remember Frontier Town! Thank you to the fellow who is organizing it!
#18 Mar 20, 2012
Yeah, thank you Cal. Its nice to see a kid with so much ambition making there dream come true. Ill be there despite the profiteers exploiting hyou.
#20 Mar 20, 2012
Don't any of you Morans like to have fun,life is too short, or do you just like to complain about crap. So what where it is being adevertised. It will be a fun day. Everybody is always up someones butt. Try looking at your own, it probably isn't that clean either. A kids dream, how many kids today even know what Frontier Town is or was. Get lives people. As for Dee, haven't you cost enough people money????
#25 Mar 22, 2012
I hear your man has some free time, have him take care of it. Prety obvious you people want to take focus of the real dirt in this town.
#26 Mar 22, 2012
i thought frontier town was closed?
#27 Mar 22, 2012
And some need to keep their opinion to themselves. Especially when they condemn others for spelling and then spell w-e-a-t-h-e-r (climate) instead of whether.
#28 Mar 22, 2012
How dare you give us the facts, you are nothing but a trouble maker. WE DON'T WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH, don't you get it. We'll lie and trash you until you shut up.
United States
#29 Mar 22, 2012
While I will agree that everyone would like her to shut up, I have to disagree that it would take lies to trash her.
#30 Mar 22, 2012
It is closed. The last year it was open was 1998. This is about a gathering of folks who worked there or I think anyone who wants can come to this.

AUSTIN - The dispute between the National Football League and cable TV is going nowhere.
That became apparent Monday when Texas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell appeared before the House Regulated Industries Committee to ask the nine-member panel to review what they called the discriminatory practices of cable TV companies, a charge that cable industry representatives denied.
"As America's team, the Dallas Cowboys have millions of fans outside the home market who are being kept in the dark by Big Cable," Jones said. "Cable is losing subscribers and profits because they are siding against the fans."
But the cable industry representatives sharply rebuffed such accusations.
If anything, said Todd Baxter, general counsel for the Texas Cable Association told the panel, the dispute between the industry and the NFL "is a business to business transaction" and "government intervention would be inappropriate."
The committee is not expected to act as a mediator, but wanted to hear the cause of the problem because many Texans are upset about the fact that their cable companies are not carrying Cowboys games televised by the NFL network, which only satellite TV carries, said panel Chairman Phil King, R-Weatherford.
"It is concerning that there may not be sufficient competition," King told Jones and Goodell.
Rep. John Smithee, R-Amarillo, who sits on the panel, reminded Jones and Goodell that the NFL has done quite well precisely because it operates in a free market where there is no government interference.
But the two football officials responded, saying what they were seeking was some kind of independent arbitration, just like it happens in Major League Baseball.
"So, you want arbitration dollars?" Smithee asked, to which Goodell responded, "Yes, and distribution."
After they testified, Jones and Goodell held an impromptu press conference to elaborate on what they said at the hearing and stressed that the NFL is on the side of the fans who are the ultimate losers.
Jones conceded that the negotiations with the cable companies are going nowhere and said he does not hold any hope that the Dec. 22 game against the Carolina Panthers, which the NFL Network will televise, will be telecast by the cable companies.
"No, that will be blocked out, too, just like the Green Bay game," Jones said.
Houston Texans fans who are cable subscribers will face the same problem Thursday night when their team plays the Denver Broncos. The game will also be televised by the NFL Network.

The planned DLC will be free and includes new Tower Challenges and the possibly "other things" that ACE is "not ready to share yet".
Release dates have not been scheduled, but the firm says it shouldn't take very long.
A patch is also in the works to address game play mechanics and some general bug fixing.

Diabetes Health Center
Nearly 10% of U.S. Adults Now Have Diabetes: Study
In 1988 to 1994, the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes was 5.5 percent. By the next survey in 1999 to 2004, that number had risen to 7.6 percent. In the final survey, done from 2005 to 2010, the prevalence of diagnosed diabetes was 9.3 percent.
During that same time period, levels of obesity also rose. For people without diabetes, obesity rates rose from about 21 percent in the first survey to over 32 percent in the last. In those with diabetes, nearly 44 percent were obese during the first survey. That number rose to about 61 percent in the most recent survey.
Rates of prediabetes also increased dramatically from less than 6 percent to more than 12 percent over the study period. However, the number of people with undiagnosed diabetes leveled off during the study period, likely due to improved screening methods. Overall, the number of people with undiagnosed diabetes was reduced to 11 percent by 2010, according to the study.
Other news from the study was that blood sugar management improved among whites, although those gains weren't seen in blacks or Mexican-Americans.
Results of the study appear in the April 15 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine.
"The reality is that we know what to do to prevent type 2 diabetes, but doing it on a population level is an incredible challenge," Selvin said. "There's some evidence that the obesity epidemic may have plateaued, but combating the environment that contributes to obesity is an incredible difficulty."
Dr. Martin Abrahamson, senior vice president for medical affairs at the Joslin Diabetes Center, in Boston, is a co-author of an accompanying editorial in the same issue of the journal.
"This article is a reminder that this problem isn't going away; it's only getting worse," Abrahamson said.
Like Selvin, he acknowledged that knowing you need to lose weight and exercise more -- and succeeding at making those changes -- are a challenge.
"There are too many pushes and pulls in society that make it difficult for people to adhere to lifestyle regimens. Adhering to a healthy diet and exercising regularly have all shown benefit in reducing diabetes, hypertension [high blood pressure], weight and cholesterol," Abrahamson said.

Pleasant regional park. Reservations are made by phone, no office on site, but someone will come and pick up the money, check washrooms etc. Site was newly graveled, very spacious. Park was quiet. When we were there there was a large group camped in the park. I'm not sure we would like to be the only ones there. Closest park to Castle Butte, which we wanted to see. Side note, the butte was interesting, and so was the landscape around it, but not really worth the drive to get there. Overpriced for an small unsupervised park in a fairly out of the way location. Miles off the Trans Canada on secondary roads. We stayed one night. - D and M

- 2011-12 Alabama secondary violations (PDF - 81kb)
Alabama releases list of secondary NCAA violations
Published: Tuesday, August 14, 2012 at 6:31 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, August 14, 2012 at 6:31 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | The University of Alabama has acknowledged 27 NCAA secondary rules violations in its athletic department over the past year, 13 of which were due to impermissible text messages or phone calls to recruits. The NCAA places calendar limitations on when coaches are permitted to initiate contact with prospective student-athletes.
Secondary violations typically do not draw penalties from the NCAA unless an institution shows a pattern problem with the same violation. Rather, they are normally handled through correspondence with the NCAA showing corrective action by the institution. In most cases, corrective action includes rules education and a letter of admonishment. Often, coaches are also temporarily forbidden from contacting the recruit in question.
UA made public the secondary violations on its web site Tuesday. Schools typically self-report secondary violations. Recent releases of secondary violations at other schools included 44 by Ole Miss and 24 by the University of Memphis.
The men's basketball program was cited for six of the violations, most of any UA sport. Other sports with violations included women's basketball (four), football (four), track and field (three), softball (two), gymnastics (two), baseball (one), women's tennis (one), men's tennis (one), women's volleyball (one) and soccer (one). The UA compliance office was deemed responsible for one as well.
As a result of policy changes, four of the violations are now permissible, but were violations at the time they occurred.
The most extensive punitive action taken by the university was an 84-day recruiting ban for a member of the baseball coaching staff who had sent impermissible text messages to multiple recruits.
Football violations included a student-athlete who received his scholarship check prematurely, a coach who prematurely accepted Facebook friending requests from two recruits, an impermissible text message sent to a prospective student athlete's father and impermissible documents provided to PSAs.

No one likes to hear the word cancer – we know that. But if you do hear it, you want to feel comfortable knowing you're getting the best care available. We're here for you.
At University of Iowa Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center, our highly experienced physicians and staff are dedicated to taking care of you, not just your cancer. As part of a nationally recognized cancer center, our team focuses on every aspect of neuroendocrine cancer – our clinicians are also top researchers, finding new and innovative treatments and therapies, as well as identifying genetic links that may pinpoint risk. We are on the leading edge of neuroendocrine research, always searching for ways to make the best cancer treatment even better.
Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center is the only institution in Iowa to hold the prestigious designation of being a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). What that means for you is that we are recognized among the leading cancer centers in the United States; NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Centers are rated in the top 4 percent of the approximately 1,500 cancer centers in the United States. A recent study published in the journal Cancer showed that patients treated at NCI designated cancer centers have better survival outcomes than patients treated at non-NCI designated cancer centers.
To be considered a "comprehensive" center means our teams have expertise in clinical, laboratory and population-based research. Our doctors and staff are on top of the newest developments in cancer research, treatment and diagnosis.
That means our team of experts will design a treatment plan that is tailored to your individual needs – we don't believe in "one size fits all."
Our multidisciplinary team is ready to offer all of the services you need for your neuroendocrine care. We know no one wants to stay in the hospital longer than necessary, so we work especially hard to make sure your treatment options are done on an out-patient basis, allowing you to rest in the comfort of your own home.
We bring experts from different fields of medicine to work together as a team called a multidisciplinary oncology group. Because many neuroendocrine patients require more than one form of treatment, our team meets regularly to discuss the best course of treatment and works together to design the best personalized plan for every patient. The team includes Surgical Oncologists, Endocrine Oncologists, Medical Oncologists, Radiation Oncologists, Social Workers, Pathologists, Pediatric Oncologists, Pharmacists, Nurses, and laboratory-based Scientists. Our team of specialists focuses not just on neuroendocrine cancer, but on your neuroendocrine cancer.
Researchers at the University of Iowa Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center have received a five-year, $10.67 million Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPORE) grant to study neuroendocrine tumors. This is the first and only SPORE grant ever awarded to fund research on neuroendocrine tumors.
Read more about our Neuroendocrine Cancer SPORE
Clinical trials is where research meets patient care. A great deal of research is done behind the scenes in laboratories, long before clinical trials can even begin. Clinical trials are research studies that test out the latest treatments and drugs that are not yet available to the wider public. These new treatments have the potential to improve your quality of life or increase your chances of survival.
See a full list and learn more about neuroendocrine cancer clinical trials at Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Our work is made possible in part by the support of donors through charitable giving. Friends of Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center can become partners in the effort to control and ultimately cure cancer. Learn how you can help us make a difference for cancer patients.

We stayed at Dar Charkia 17 -20th May as a group of twelve women ages ranging from 54 - 24
I was slightly concerned as to how we would be received but I needn't have worried
this place is fantastic but Michael Lisa and all the staff are even more fantastic they made our trip very special
Its perfectly situated and easy to find your way back to after you have explored Marrakesh
all the bedrooms are very beautifully furnished and decorated and the breakfast which we ate on the roof top terrace was wonderful some thing for everyone. all the staff were so warm and friendly nothing is too much trouble. The orientation chat on our first morning was very helpful.
we had emailed before our trip and organised our restaurants and activities in advanced and Lisa was so helpful in recommending and suggesting place we might like. We also used their drivers to get to and from the restaurants and bars and they were complete gentlemen even escorting us to the door of the restaurant or venue.
I found Marrakesh to be a wonderful place with wonderful people in the Souk we weren't harassed or bothered, a polite no was always accepted and preceded with a smile. I would thoroughly recommend a visit and definitely recommend this Riad I know you will not be disappointed, cant wait to go back

Hi DM MP, thanks for the selection. I apologize I only posted the concept - thought I had more time (he will be a dwarf zen archer monk). I have the crunch done, will post it immediately. About me, I am an immigration attorney in Miami, FL and I have been playing since Unearthed Arcana came out for D&D. I am also a fan of rping video games, mainly Dragon Age, Oblivion, and Skyrim. I look forward to the game, as I have never played this mod.
Yes, I understand your concern. My job does get extremely busy at times and it has affected me in GMing games, but never as a player. I always post faithfully and that is never interrupted. I am applying as a player here. However, I can bow out, if necessary. It just seemed like a fun group to join. Let me know.
Here is the backstory. I tried it to make it heroic but it came out being a bit of a love story. :)
Kaegan's story:
Kaegan Fellhammer, 8th son of Gorek Fellhammer, a notable dwarf noble and warrior of his clan, knew it would be many years before he was next in line for any title of nobility, so he lived his life lazily and with reckless abandon and irresponsibility. He was a ladies' man (as much as a dwarf could be with 8 charisma) and was an overall disappointment, much to the chagrin of his father and his clan. Kaegan the Selfish became his honorary title. However, all that changed when he met Anora Twin-Axe, a beautiful young female priestess in training of Torag. It was love at first sight, but she had no time for the spoiled rich dwarf and resisted his advances at every turn. Even when he was so desperate for her attention that he joined the priesthood! She still resisted him. Determined to win her heart at any means necessary and desperate, Kaegan turned to his father for help. Gorek smiled at his son's decision to change his life for the love of a female. Determined to teach his son the values of responsibility, honor, and clan, Gorek suggested that Kaegan, now a junior acolyte, travel with a band of dwarves on their way to assist the warriors in Mendev. Kaegan, having never before left the clan's mountain retreat, was shocked at the horrors he saw on the battlefield. He assisted in tending to the wounded and that was the extent of his duties until the fateful night when devils overran the dwarves' encampment and Kaegan and the survivors were forced to retreat to the ruins of a fort, warhammers in hand, until morning when reinforcements arrived. That night, fearing it would be his last, the selfish Kaegan finally heard the voice of his god and realized that the priesthood was his calling. He inspired the troops with his magic, healed their wounds until his magic was used up, and battled alongside his brothers in arms. He learned what it meant to be a dwarf. In the morning, still alive, Kaegan came upon Grundelyr, famed Warhammer of Defense. For his heroism, Kaegan was allowed to keep the hammer, since it had chosen its champion. Shortly thereafter, the battle-tested dwarf returned to his clan to the cheers of his family and the respect of Anora. Months later, that respect turned to love and then marriage at the young age of 50. A year later, the couple was blessed with Thargrim, a son. 30 years later, Thargrim, a curious dwarf full of wanderlust, journeyed to Korvosa with his uncle, Jergen, on business. Three months later, Thargrim disappeared, said to have been lured by the wiles of a criminal named Gaedren. Upon hearing the news of his son's disappearance, a frantic Kaegan grabbed Grundelyr and swore to Anora that he would bring their son back or die trying. He has since traveled to Korvosa, looking for his son.

Ok, Thrynn and Jon. Here's the story: For whatever reason, as indicated in your back story, you found yourselves stranded in the Mwangi Expanse and paired up for mutual preservation from its dangers. You traveled for nearly three days before you reached this camp with guards this morning. As long as you pledged your song and sword to defend the camp from wild elves attacks, you were given permission to stay, even though you are ignored and treated as second class citizens for the most part. At least you got a warm bed to rest. At night, there was commotion that snapped you out of your reverie, as newcomers on a riverboat have arrived with supplies. Any questions or comments, please let me know.

Scranford - how does your character get around requirement that shahepshifter archetype must take natural weapon combat style at 2nd level and not thrown weapons, as listed on sheet?
Rysky - given that main big baddie of Savage Tide turns out to be an antipaladin, going to say no to that.

The halfling named Desmond was born into abject poverty in Brevoy as an orphan. Naturally, his circumstances led him to life a thievery given his natural size and uncommon speed. He was not a skilled thief by any means but he small and fast so whenever he was spotted, he took off like the wind, using his natural agility. He was also very charming and wise. He distracted you with his cuteness before robbing you blind. He became known in the streets as Desmond the Fearless for his brave thefts. But Desmond was never a bad person. He did what he did to survive and the streets taught him to stay ahead of danger at all possible costs. He developed a skill for spotting the guards, other criminals, and other dangers that crossed his way. This skill proved to be quite valuable to a band of brigands who needed a lookout for potential caravan ambushes. Desmond was assured no one would be hurt so he went along with it. After 3-4 such ambushes, he became a favorite of the brigands for his great observational skills. Then one fateful night, while on lookout, he spotted an unusual caravan. The people all wore desert garb and covered their faces. The brigands ambushed the caravan and a cleric of Sarenrae was present. One of the brigands got too handsy and slapped one of the women, who just happened to be the cleric's daughter. A burst of fire engulfed the brigand and he died a horrible death. The other brigands ambushed the cleric, who could not fend so many attackers and he looked at Desmond for aid. The fearless halfling was too much of a coward to help and turned his back on the priest, who died a horrible death. He did however preserve the priest's holy symbol, the ornate sun medallion. For days after the incident, Desmond saw the priest's face in his dreams and nightmares and he felt a calling for the first time in his life. He ran into the woods at dawn and there he swore he saw the goddess appear before him, offering the halfling salvation. He immediately took it, bowing in tears at her feet and swearing his services to her if she forgave his transgressions. She did and Desmond abandoned the brigands stealing their gold in the process. He found a Temple to Sarenrae and trained for year in her teachings. A year later Desmond reappeared, no longer Desmond the Fearless but Desmond the Firecaller. He now seeks to spread Sarenrae's teachings all through the Kingdoms and if the brigands come seeking for him, he will be ready for them.
