PayPal Credit is like a credit card without the plastic. And with 0% interest for 6 - 12 months on all purchases of £99 or more and 6-24 months on all purchases over £500, it's the perfect way to spread the cost of your next bathroom.
Spend £99 or more in one go with PayPal Credit. Be sure to select the PayPal Credit option on the payment page.
This will guide you to PayPal Credit's application page where you can start the process of applying for PayPal Credit.
The application should take no more than 10 minutes to complete and you will then be redirected back to soak.com to complete your transaction.
We know that purchasing a new bathroom can be a stretch and that lots of us are choosing to purchase our bathrooms on finance. That's why we offer the option to Pay on Finance using PayPal credit.
If you spend more than £99, you can choose to spread the cost of your purchase over a time to suit you whether it's 6-12 months. If you spend over £500, you can spread the cost anywhere from 6-24 months. Just select the PayPal credit option when you checkout - the perfect buy now, pay later bathroom solution!
It's quick and easy to apply for PayPal Credit – all you need to do is complete a short application form and you'll receive a decision instantly. If approved and you accept, you'll have a credit limit attached to your PayPal account to complete your purchase and as simple as that, you can have your bathroom on finance.
The representative example below highlights the interest you would pay, if your balance isn't paid off during the 0% interest free period
19.9% APR (variable)

19.9% p.a. (variable)
Assumed Credit limit
This example above illustrates the typical cost of using PayPal Credit as a standard funding method. If you take advantage of our offers and promotions, including our 0% for 4 months offer, the interest rate that applies will be lower in many circumstances.
credit is subject to application and status
Yes. Once you have chosen the PayPal Credit payment option, you will be directed to the PayPal website. It is a PayPal Credit requirement that you login to your PayPal account or create an account at that point.
Unfortunately, we have no control over the success or failure of an application - this is entirely PayPal's decision. If you have been declined, PayPal will email you with information about why your application was unsuccessful.
Don't worry, although you weren't approved for PayPal Credit, you can still use PayPal to check out securely with your bank account, debit or credit card.
Check that you are eligible by ensuring you have £99 worth of goods in your basket.
If you have checked that the minimum spend of £99 has been reached and you still have no option for PayPal Credit, please give us a call and we will help you out.
Unfortuntately not. PayPal credit is only available online
Just return as normal and we will refund the money to your PayPal Credit account. Once returned to your PayPal Credit account, the credit will be available to you as part of your limit for all your future PayPal Credit purchases, including future instalment offers with us.

Look at this. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/dvoa-r ... oa-ratings
We're #4 overall in the NFL per Football Outsiders as of right now, and trending upward. We have the 5th-ranked offense, 6th-ranked defense, and 3rd-ranked special teams.
<Cue Mike Mayock> Are you kidding me?
We are playing some very good, balanced football as of late. Despite our defense crapping the bed late in Miami and us not generating much pressure recently, we're still ranked well. This kind of high-end balance bodes very well for winning in January. I expect our defense will drop off some more if Browner and Sherman are suspended, so we'll see what happens there; but if we can keep performing well across the board, we're in the playoffs and poised to do some winning.
, anybody?

Kin Phone Failure Weighing Heavily on Microsoft
Jason Mick
July 13, 2010
Remember when the Zune
phone was a hot news topic? Those days are long gone.
Even as Windows Mobile 6.5 plunges
in marketshare and Microsoft hurries to finish
its replacement in time for the holidays, it's trying to
come to grips with the loss of its first mobile phone hardware
project – Kin.
A summary article of the Kin debacle over at Mini-Microsoft, a blog site that follows Microsoft closely, had some stinging commentary, purportedly from Microsoft employees or those close to the company.
States one apparent former employee:
All I can say as a former Windows Mobile employee who is now working for a competitor in the phone space is that this is good news for the rest of us…Personally I quit because of the frustrating management and autocratic decision style of Terry Myerson and Andrew Lees. The only exec in the team myself and other folks respected was Tom Gibbons who is now sidelined. Lees and Myerson don't know consumer products or phones. Gibbons at least knows consumer product development. We often talk about how Andrew Lees still has a job but Microsoft's loss is a gain for the rest of us.
Lees is a Microsoft Senior VP in the Mobile Communications
(Kin, Windows Mobile) department. Terry
Myerson is listed as a Microsoft Corporate VP of Windows
Phone Engineering.
Other commenters, apparently close to Microsoft leveled similar charges. One states:
And now Kin is killed after it has shipped in June 2010. You can bet Andy was involved in the development of Kin, the partnership agreements with the OEM, Verizon and most importantly the "ship it" approvals all along the way. And Microsoft discovers its a bad idea after it blows up in the broad market. Absolutely no thanks to any pro-active decision making on Andy's part… Based on his past performance, 99% chance this is also going to be a total catastrophe. It further doesn't help that much of the Windows Phone 7 leadership team was kicked out of Windows when they screwed up Vista.
Another person who identifies themselves as a former Danger employee (see below for the Kin-Danger connection) remarks:
[Microsoft is a] dysfunctional organization where decisions were made by politics rather than logic.
would be very easy to blow off such criticisms as sour grapes of
ex-employees or even people posing as employees with no real
knowledge of the company. However, the fact is there does
appear to be something badly wrong at Microsoft's phone division, and
that lends the complaints a bit more plausibility.
The strange journey of Kin began with the purchase of Danger, makers of the Sidekick, in Feb. 2008. Microsoft reportedly paid $500M USD for the company that in its best year made $54M USD in revenue, but overall had lost $188M USD. Despite those questionable metrics, at the time the move was viewed as perhaps wise - it gave Microsoft a hardware team with which to directly attack Apple's iPhone.
Two years later the child of that union, Kin, stumbled out onto the scene on the Verizon network. The Kin One was priced at $49.99 and the Ken Two sold for $99.99. Both phones were marketed with a curious campaign of a jilted lover apparently stalking his ex-girlfriend. Take it from Apple or Palm - good – or bad – commercials can make or break a campaign (granted the blame here only partially rests on Microsoft for approving the commercial, and certainly equally is the fault of the ad firm). But perhaps more damaging than the bizarre ads was the fact that the phones were utterly unremarkable, serving only as a mediocre Facebook-enabled smartphone.
Within 45 days Microsoft decided it had seen enough, unceremoniously pulling the plug on the project at the end of June. While the phones will continue to be sold on Verizon for the few that are interested, the message from Microsoft was clear – it was putting Kin down faster than you can say Old Yeller.
So whether the complaints are true or not, Microsoft must make some serious changes to its phone business – and make them now, if it hopes to survive fast competitors like Google, Apple, and HP (rebranded Palm).

YREKA _ The Yreka Miners varsity boys basketball team upset the Anderson Cubs 51-40 on homecoming and senior night in the regular season finale on Friday.
With the Miners leading 27-26 at the half, tenacious defense and clutch shooting helped Yreka be up by as much as 13 points in the second half.
With the victory, the Miners improved to 9-15 overall and 2-6 in the Northern Athletic League. Anderson fell to 12-14 overall and 4-4 in the NAL. When the two teams met in Anderson on Jan. 25, the Cubs won the game 53-30.
When the game was over, the student section stormed the court as they embraced members of the team.
Head coach Christian Birch said that this win means the Miners should earn a playoff berth. Yreka will find out if they are playoff bound by Saturday afternoon.
"It's a great win for our program against a great team," Birch said.
Junior Kaden Culp had 18 points and sophomore Ty Currie had 15 points for Yreka.
In the varsity girls game, the Lady Miners lost 72-32. In the junior varsity girls game, Yreka won 49-18. In the JV boys contest, the Miners earned a 52-47 victory. A complete story on the game will run in the Monday edition of the Daily News.

Peter Manning to Edit the Keats-Shelley Journal
Submitted by rc-admin on
A little over ten years ago I took over from Stuart Curran as Editor of the Keats-Shelley Journal. This meant a lot to me, since I had published my first scholarly article in the KSJ while still a graduate student. It has been educational and fun, a major honor. Now it's time to give someone else a turn.
The Journal and its readers are extremely lucky that the distinguished scholar and professor of English at the State University of New York, Stonybrook, Peter Manning, has agreed to take over from me as the new Editor, beginning in 2004. Stuart and I had a meeting at the first NASSR conference to discuss our transition. Last month, Peter and I talked at this year's NASSR in New York (while standing in line for the performance of Death's Jest Book and then waiting in the seats for the performance to begin), where we made plans for the new transition.
At the same time, Alice Levine is handing over the KSJ Book Review Editorship to her own worthy successor, another noted scholar and colleague, Professor Jeanne Moskal of the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
In future please send books for possible review to Professor Moskal, Department of English, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC, 27599. And (it gives me great pleasure to say...) please send manuscripts of articles for consideration to Professor Peter Manning (email@example.com), Department of English, SU of NY, Stonybrook, NY, 11794. I know Peter would want me to add: please send a SASE if you wish your manuscript returned, and double space everything in the manuscript, including the notes--which should be submitted as endnotes not footnotes (yes, we know they'll be appear in the KSJ as footnotes). Consult back issues of the KSJ on other matters of style.

Outlook Competition: Enter Kroupware and Kaplan
It has been a long time dream of the
But Don Sanders, KMail hacker, went one step further. He managed to transform KMail into a KPart and demonstrated how the different PIM components can be embedded in the pre-existing framework by Matthias Hoelzer-Kluepfel and Daniel Molkentin known as Kaplan:
Just one thing...
Please, please, please let us users choose how we want our windows. KNode lets you do this and it is great.
I want to have my message window tall (as high as the screen) and the folder-list and the message-list on a side.
Since most lines are wrapped at 80 characters, this is the only layout that makes sense to me. Having an Outlook-like wide message window that is always half-empty is not efficient. KNode features these "sub-windows" which can be arranged how you like it, if Kaplan will support this, this feature alone will put it far ahead of current KMail.

Re: Just one thing...
I agree with this and also use a similar window arrangement.
By Nard at Wed, 2002/10/16 - 5:00am
Kaplan is most excellent
I was worried when I looked over Kroupware, as I'm working on a non-folder based alternate email/messaging/contact application for KDE. It would plug into Kaplan quite nicely (or run as a seperate application), but Kroupware looks like you're locked into it's variant of KMail. Moving to a large monolithic application that does a whole bunch of stuff (like Outlook) prevents you from picking and choosing components - your favorite addressbook with your favorite email application.
(As an aside: Yeah - that's right, non-folder based. But not flat. It's a relational message database with a novel (I think) UI that is pretty nifty. No clue if I can climb it up to version 1.0, right now I have pages of notes, a KWord document full of documentation, and a dozen PyQt files that semi-work as a bad text editor that saves to a mailbox format, and makes little icons of people pop up when I create files. :) If you're interested in discussing some interesting alternative concepts about how to build a communication interface, which I've dubbed KIM (KDE Integrated Messaging), feel free to email me. I'm hoping it might debut around the time KDE 4.0 is released).
By Evan "JabberWok... at Mon, 2002/09/23 - 5:00am
Re: Kaplan is most excellent
As I understand it, the first version of Kroupware is a stepping stone. Sounds reasonable, given their schedule.
open source and money
This is wonderful! The german government is doing a great service to Open Source by funding the Kroupware/Kolab project like this. Fingers crossed till Oct 15. This is a greatly compressed schedule, and if they pull it off, it will be thanks to the pre-existing work of the KDE project. Everybody wins.

Re: Athera
It's a Qt project now. Doesn't use KParts, etc.
By ac at Mon, 2002/09/23 - 5:00am
Re: Athera
actually 1.0 is just about ready, we took a few months off to port it to the Sharp Zaurus and that project is in final beta. It uses some really cool technology to deal with plug ins and components in a multi-platform fashion, which I understand is a goal of kroupware (croup by the way means horses ass or bad cough, both are valid definitions. The word comes from the French actually which in turn is based on old German). I don't know why no one wanted to talk to us, we've put forward this proposal many times, oh well.
By Shawn Gordon at Tue, 2002/09/24 - 5:00am
Re: Athera
One reason is maybe that its development is not open and afair no source code was available for 0.9.9.
Re: Athera
sure it's open development, just no one has been jumping in to help and the source is available.
By Shawn Gordon at Tue, 2002/09/24 - 5:00am
Re: Athera
So what is the CVS repository with the current post-0.9.10 version?
Re: Athera
Since it looks like they want the final product to be native to KDE, I image they want to use KParts for components. Maybe there would even be some interest in using your component model as well. The ability to use a KPart as an Athera component or vice-versa could be a useful addition to both projects I would think.
By anon at Tue, 2002/09/24 - 5:00am
Re: Athera
It's Aethera, dammit.
Re: Athera
Aethera use to use KParts, but those weren't multi-platform, which is the same problem that Kroupware is going to run in to. We switched to TINO (our OLE type tool) to replace it, and that is multi-platform and lightweight.
By Shawn Gordon at Tue, 2002/09/24 - 5:00am
Re: Athera
Well, since KParts are all GPL'd (LGPL'd) I think they will eventually become cross-platform, when required.

Re: Athera
Exactly. It's just done when it's needed ;)
By Christian Parpart at Wed, 2002/09/25 - 5:00am
Re: Athera
I'm just heading out for a trade show, I've asked the engineer to respond with the system he has in place. Aethera is a huge project so it's important to stay properly organized.
By Shawn Gordon at Wed, 2002/09/25 - 5:00am
Re: Athera
The CVS is open only for people who really want to develop (help) the Aethera project. Since the project is pretty big I want to be carefull with the code.
And I am working for the first stable release (1.0).

Re: kroupware
OK, that's good news.
Since I was complaining about the name "puic" a couple of stories ago, I was reluctant to do the same thing again, but am glad others find "kroupware" unappealing.
In English, by the way, "croup" refers to a potentially fatal respiratory disease in babies.
Again, a great project, just like the Perl bindings -- just want to make sure they don't get saddled with a name that frightens users!

Re: kroupware
How about "Longsight"? A "konqueror" is more powerful than an "explorer" and you can get more information with a "long sight" than with just an "outlook".
What do you think?
Only an idea (I posted it to the mailing-lists as well)

I second this suggestion. The "Everything has to start with K" thing is getting a bit old.

Kroupware name
Kroupware is partly German funded. Why not shake a little bit the tyranny of English and choose a German name for once ?
I vote for Bund, it is a nice simple German word and the name of an interesting Yiddish Socialist Party of the 19th century in Eastern Europe.
By Charle de Miramon at Tue, 2002/09/24 - 5:00am
Re: Kroupware name
"Bund" is also the name of the german government. I don't think that the german government (they started the project!) want their software to be called "Bund" as well ;-)

Re: kroupware
I agree - Foresight is an excellent name.
Of course, it's pretty much a given that the kind of people who use terms like Winblows, Linsucks and MSTurd (instead of MSWord), will immediately dub it Foreskin. Ah, the 3rd grade potty humor that has become accepted practice on the net. What a planet. :)

Komms (as in 'Comms Center')

You get more info out of a sextant and a good map than a simple longsight.

Re: kroupware
Great idea. This name sounds a lot more professional than the ones with a "K" inside. Maybe the KDE team will get sued by K-Mart if it continues to use this letter in the names of their applications...
By Ned Flanders at Tue, 2002/09/24 - 5:00am
Re: kroupware
I don't see why the letter K should be avoided. Many programs for KDE start with a K and many programs for Gnome start with a G. Users can easily identify the origin of a program along these lines.
I'd like to see a word that is present in many languages, has the same or an equal meaning in those languages and expresses a concept related to the program. Since most european languages share a lot of latinisms, I think the most obvious denominator should be a word derived from latin.
Which brings me to my proposal. How about "Koalition"? It seems that the meaning is about equal in german, english, french, spanish and a few other languages. The meaning, according to my ethymological dictionary, coming from late-latin (coalitus), new-english (coalition) and french (coalition), is "union, unification" and goes back to latin (coalescere, coalitum) where it meant "to unite, to grow together". While it used to be a chemical terminus (< 18th century), it was soon adopted in international relations (mostly a coalition _against_ somebody or something). In modern german it means "alliance within a government" (hope I translated that one about right).
Since the purpose of a groupware is to work together, the meaning (grow together) is not far from the purpose. It is some sort of coalition against the established closed source groupware solutions, so in this respect it is equally descriptive. And since it is contract work for the government the modern meaning is also there.
Just my 2 as

Re: kroupware
> and many programs for Gnome start with a G.
It was true for GNOME 1, but if you look at GNOME 2 you'll see huge changes. "gedit", "GNOME Character Map", "GWhatever": all gone and replaced by "Text Editor", "Character Map", etc.
Inside the KDE community, KNames are acceptable, but if you look around, you'll see Mac and Win people complaining all the time about obscure and non-descriptive K/G-names.
By Stof at Tue, 2002/09/24 - 5:00am
Re: kroupware
> all gone and replaced by "Text Editor", "Character Map", etc.
You're talking about how they appear in the menu/panel. The name of the executable and so on of course didn't change. KDE3 can display the generic name too.
Re: kroupware
True.... exactly! The user should get an informative and pleasing name, and the packages could be whatever. The only problem with that is... should the user know the package name too? (For reasons like: support calls, download updates, etc.) If so, then does it help much? I'm not sure, but I think so.
But, I still think it is worthwhile to please the user a little better than we're doing now. Konqueror or Kontour can come across as a miss-spelling and an annoyance to english-speaking purists. K-mail & K-word, though, may not be as bad because its obviously branding like MS Word, or whatever.
So... my thought was totally in agreement with yours. If the K-menu had a hook to the language-preferences, such that what you see is the "whatever program name" for your language it would be a lot easier to get names that please people. But the package name is what it is: K-mail, or Konqueror or whatever.
By Jeff at Wed, 2002/09/25 - 5:00am
Re: kroupware
Stof, you're an idiot and a troll who never dies. GNOME2 stole this tactic from KDE. KDE has been displaying the generic name in the menu *forever*. Matthias Ettrich was the first to suggest this from the very beginning.

If you want to lift weights or use the treadmill at Downsize Fitness, you have to be at least 50 pounds overweight.
Kendall Schrantz is a fan – and a member.
The 24-year-old has struggled with her weight since she was in the second grade. The looks she got at other gyms made her uncomfortable.
But now she drives more than an hour to Downsize Fitness in Fort Worth three times a week, just to exercise.
"It's worth every single penny I paid for gas," she said. "It's worth the time I spend on the road, the miles."
Downsize, which opened in Chicago, has locations in Fort Worth and Dallas. The gym says it eliminates the self-conscious and alienating atmosphere that may be found at other fitness centers. Exercises and equipment are tailored to larger bodies.
It's one of a number of companies and organizations that are marketing fitness to people who are overweight or obese. It's not a bad business strategy, considering that 69 percent of American adults fit in that category, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The Planet Fitness chain touts its "Judgment Free Zones". In Omaha, Neb., Square One promises you won't find "size 2's in sports bras sprinting on treadmills." This gym, started by Marty Wolff, who competed on NBC's "The Biggest Loser," says it is for "people of size." And many YMCA facilities feature photos of the faces and bodies of actual members – "real people" – instead of supermodels or body builders.
Schrantz used to be a chronic gym quitter. She'd sign up, go once and never return. The looks she got at other gyms made her uncomfortable.
"My thought on that is why are you looking at me when I got off of the couch, I got off of my bed and I'm actually doing something about it?" Schrantz said, during an interview at the gym. Still, she says, "It's hard."
As she said that, she began to tear up. Other members of the gym came to comfort her. They put their arms around her while she cried.
Here, members sweat together – and shed tears together.
Kishan Shah is the CEO of Downsize, which has hundreds of members across the U.S. They weigh anywhere from 200 to 700 pounds. Shah used to weigh 400 pounds and have a 62-inch waist. Today, he's half that weight and always finds time for a yoga or cardio class in between business meetings.
Fitness is about a lot more than just looks, Shah says.
"If you ask that person why they want to get healthier, it's not about looks, Shah says. "It's about being able to get up off the floor, being able to keep up with your kids, fitting into an airplane seat, and really being able to be around for your grandkids."
So instead of aiming for six-pack abs, trainers emphasize functional fitness in small classes.
The majority of trainers at Downsize were once considered obese themselves. "This is their passion, not their job," Shah said.
Indeed, everything at Downsize is intended to make the gym a welcoming place for those who are overweight, even the equipment.
The stationary bikes, elliptical machines and treadmills all are designed for larger, heavier people. There is thicker cushioning and wider seats. There are no mirrors, and the windows are tinted so passersby can't see in. And there are striking before-and-after photos of clients on the wall.
That may be good for people who are anxious about what other people think about their appearance, according to Austin Baldwin, an assistant professor of psychology at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. But that doesn't work for everyone.
"Those who have high levels of physique anxiety, they preferred to be around others who were also overweight and obese," Baldwin says, pointing to a 2012 study. "Whereas people with low levels of physique anxiety actually preferred the opposite. They preferred to be around people who were more fit."
The idea of being surrounded by other plus-sized gym members doesn't bother Golda Poretsky, a holistic health coach in New York. But she says she wouldn't go to a gym called "Downsize Fitness."
Any gym that boasts total pounds lost – 5,000 so far at Downsizes across the country – is selling a familiar message, Poretsky says: Fat is bad.
"The problem is that places like this do well because fat is so stigmatized in our society, and there's all this pressure to lose weight," Poretsky said. "And to me it's more of the same. 'Oh, we can hide out while we lose weight until we become more societally acceptable.' That doesn't appeal to me in the least."
But Poretsky does like the idea of having a strong support community, which Downsize is known for. Trainers often stay in touch with members when they're outside of the gym, with text messages and Facebook posts.
Kendall Schrantz says she's already seeing results – a few inches off her waist. And she's discovered a new passion. "I love to run."
And ultimately, that's the goal for these gyms – to make fitness gratifying instead of degrading.
You're listening to MORNING EDITION from NPR News. Good morning, I'm Renee Montagne.
Today in Your Health, we'll hear about help for a colicky baby. We'll go first though to the gym. For a lot of us, the gym can be intimidating. For overweight people it can be downright scary. Enter: Downsize Fitness, a gym that caters to people with 50 pounds or more to lose.
Lauren Silverman, of member station KERA, explores the idea behind gyms.
LAUREN SILVERMAN, BYLINE: Kendall Schrantz used to be a chronic gym quitter. Now she makes a two-hour commute three times a week, to get to one very special gym.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Good job. Keep moving.
KENDALL SCHRANTZ: It's worth every single penny I paid for gas. It's worth the time I spend on the road, the miles - totally worth it.
SILVERMAN: Schrantz, who's 24, has struggled with her weight since second grade. She used to take her lunch money straight to the school vending machine for Cool Ranch Doritos and Skittles. She never felt comfortable in regular gyms.
SCHRANTZ: The looks you get from other people. My thought on that is, why are you looking at me when I got off of the couch, I got off of my bed and I'm actually doing something about it.
SCHRANTZ: Sorry.
SILVERMAN: Schrantz breaks down and members come over to comfort her. They know what she's going through. That shared experience is at the core of Downsize Fitness. To join one of the four gyms across the country, you have to have a BMI of 35. Thirty is considered obese.
CEO Kishan Shaw says regular gyms aren't equipped to deal with people struggling with obesity.
KISHAN SHAW: Most people with more than 50 pounds of weight to lose will say, I need to lose weight before I go to a gym. So for me, I was 400 pounds and I lost 75 pounds before I went to a gym because I was too intimidated by dealing with gyms and going there and having those stares and everything.
SILVERMAN: Shah carries a photo with him from when he weighed 400 pounds and had a waist measuring more than five feet around. Today, he's half that weight and he, like other Downsize members, isn't your stereotypical gym rat.
SHAW: It's not about looks. It's about being able to get up off the floor, being able to keep up with your kids, fitting into an airplane seat, you know, really being able to be around for your grandkids.
SILVERMAN: So instead of aiming for six-pack abs, trainers emphasize functional fitness in small classes. Today, members side shuffle across the floor, pumping their arms before moving on to lunges.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Nice. You two up here, are you remembering to breathe? Form is more important than speed here.
SILVERMAN: At Downsize, it's not only the exercises that are modified, it's the equipment too. The stationary bikes, ellipticals, treadmills, all are specially designed for heavier people. The windows are tinted for extra privacy. There are classes on nutrition and striking before and after photos up on the wall. But can banning skinny people really help members drop pounds?
AUSTIN BALDWIN: Yes, but it's more complicated than that.
SILVERMAN: Austin Baldwin is an assistant professor of psychology at Southern Methodist University in Dallas. He researches what motivates people to exercise. And he points to a 2012 study that looked at what he calls physique anxiety among overweight people.
BALDWIN: So for those who have high levels of physique anxiety, they preferred to be around others who were also overweight and obese. Whereas people with low levels of this physique anxiety actually preferred the opposite, right? They preferred to be around people who were more fit.
SILVERMAN: The study should that most people who are overweight feel more comfortable working out with people who are also overweight. And there's another feature Baldwin says may help gyms like Downsize. They're not weight-loss farms. Once you've dropped 50 pounds, you're not kicked out. In fact, the majority of trainers are former members who've graduated. That means you build community.
BALDWIN: So you're setting up a support network which we know to be important in changing behaviors, both in terms of tangible things and providing information, important skills and so on, as well as emotional support.
SILVERMAN: Of course, not everyone likes the idea of overweight gyms.
GOLDA PORETSKY: I would not go to a place called Downsize Fitness.
SILVERMAN: Golda Poretsky a plus-sized Holistic Health Coach in New York. She says any gym that boasts total pounds lost - 5,000 so far at Downsizes across the country - is selling a familiar message: Fat is bad.
PORETSKY: For me, it's more of the same. You know, it's just, oh, we can hide out while we lose weight and become societally acceptable. Like, that doesn't appeal to me in the least.
SILVERMAN: For her, the goal isn't to lose weight, it's to be healthy at whatever size you are. But for the people who are determined to shed pounds, Downsize is another option. There are now two in Illinois, two in Texas and remote classes online.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: You can do it. You're almost there. Come on.
LAURA SILVERMAN, BYLINE: In the Fort Worth gym, 24-year-old Kendall Schrantz is determined to lose fifty pounds. She's already seeing results - a few inches off her waist - and she's discovered a new passion.
SCHRANTZ: I love running. It's so fun.
SILVERMAN: And that's the goal for these gyms - making fitness gratifying instead of degrading.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Good job group, Ruth. Get some water and we'll stretch it out.
For NPR News, I'm Lauren Silverman in Dallas. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

I love Wilson, but is Kaep actually better? I have been arguing with 9er fans, and they insist that Kaep is better. Would love to hear opinions on both, because while I know a ton about Wilson (still could learn more), I barely know anything about Kaep, so 49er fans are welcome.
Which one do you take for the whole ride, short term and long term? Personally, I would take Wilson, as I think he is so much more polished and ready for the NFL, safer with the ball, and learns from his mistakes insanely quickly, but some 9er fans say Kaep. I think Kaep's very overrated personally. Wilson just doesn't seem to have any weaknesses. Sure, his first few games he was total crap out there, but now it's like he's unstoppable. Kaep has that amazing running game to lean on, while Wilson's running game is on and off. Wilson has been forced to put the team on his back more, while with Kaep he definitely looks more like the "point guard" that Russell Wilson was supposed to be, in that he can't really take control of the team when that running game can't gain a yard and he has to pass all 3 downs.

State's huge budget deficit defies easy solutions
When Dannel P. Malloy became the state's 88th governor on Jan. 5, 2011, he inherited a financial mess unmatched in Connecticut history.
The Stamford Democrat faced a state government on pace to spend almost 20 percent more than it would receive in its next budget - unless something changed dramatically.
Forced to fill a $3.7 billion shortfall, Malloy challenged legislators, unions, businesses and the public to embrace his "shared sacrifice."
"I truly believe Connecticut's best days are ahead," Malloy told lawmakers two years ago. "The tide is turning for us if we step up and work hard with courage and conviction."
But a sober look at the state's finances two years later shows that one-third of that historic deficit still remains.
Back in 2011, the steps he implemented included:
• The largest - $1.5 billion - tax increase in state history.
• A state employee concessions package that would freeze wages, curtail retirement benefits and promote both preventative health care and leaner government.
• The merger of 82 agencies down to 58.
• Cuts to public colleges and universities that would, he hoped, boost tuition no higher than inflation.
With a gap of $1.2 billion projected for the fiscal year that starts in July, Malloy not only is seeking more sacrifices, but he's also turning to taxes and some of the gimmicks he swore off two years ago.
He has proposed:
• Extending expiring tax increases on businesses and power plants.
• Reducing tax credits for working poor families.
• Cutting more funding to colleges and universities, even as tuition and fees continue to rise beyond inflation.
• Making deep cuts to hospitals and in health coverage for thousands of low-income adults.
• Raiding the transportation fund.
• Borrowing hundreds of millions of dollars to pay ongoing bills.
In submitting these steps, the governor cited an unusually sluggish recovery that plagues most states and that neither party foresaw.
But despite the warnings of many economists - and even after evidence of a lethargic recovery accumulated - the governor also took some chances with his budgets:
• He introduced a new multi-year program to fix the state employees' pension fund without a plan to fund it fully after the first year.
• He underfunded health care for the poor so that it didn't meet the demand anticipated by his own administration.
• His concessions deal with state unions - expected to cut annual costs by more than $900 million - would come up several hundred million dollars short.
When he took office, the 18 percent gap between projected costs and revenues was 3½ times the size of the deficit Gov. John G. Rowland and the legislature closed in February 2003.
And the political hurdle Malloy had to clear was as daunting as the fiscal problems he had to resolve, said Senate President Pro Tempore Donald E. Williams Jr., D-Brooklyn.
To close the deficit left behind by Gov. M. Jodi Rell, Malloy had to convince lawmakers that he would shield them from the public backlash for the tax increase - something his Republican predecessor refused to do.
Still, despite the massive challenge he faced, Malloy in 2011 had a bullish view of Connecticut's future.
According to the economic forecast he used to prepare his budget two years ago, unemployment would drop to 6.8 percent by the second quarter of 2013, and household income would be 11 percent higher than it was in 2011.
But two years later, Connecticut's jobless rate through March still hadn't cracked the 8 percent floor, and the administration now estimates household income growth since mid-2011 at less than 4 percent.
What does that mean for the state budget?
The administration thought in 2011 it would have $932 million more in tax receipts to spend in 2013-14 than it now is counting on.
Office of Policy and Management Secretary Benjamin Barnes, the governor's budget chief, questioned how many people would have known the nation's economy would remain so slow-moving more than five years after the start of the last recession. Entering this fiscal year, 31 states had to close projected shortfalls that totaled $55 billion to balance their budgets, according to the Washington-based Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
Foley even more optimistic
As hopeful as Malloy's first budget might have been, it was pessimistic compared with the fiscal plan of his Republican opponent in the 2010 election.
Greenwich businessman Tom Foley had infuriated Malloy supporters for months by insisting that he could eliminate a cavernous deficit without any tax increases.
When pressed during the campaign to disclose how he would cover a $3.7 billion gap in one fiscal year, Foley told The Connecticut Mirror that he expected 40 percent of the problem - about $1.5 billion - to be solved by economic growth alone. Income, sales and other taxes would raise more because additional people would be working, getting raises and spending more.
Malloy's budget closed that deficit with about $2.3 billion in new revenue, including about $800 million stemming from economic growth to go with the $1.5 billion from tax increases.
In other words, Foley expected nearly double the economic good fortune Malloy counted on.
But there were dissenting voices two years ago coming from Connecticut economists, who warned that this recovery would be far more meager, and take much longer, than its most recent predecessors.
"We said, 'This is not your father's recovery,'" Donald Klepper-Smith, chief economist for DataCore Partners in New Haven, recalled of his 2010 prediction for post-recession Connecticut.
Over the last five recessions, dating back to 1974, it has taken increasingly longer both for the nation and Connecticut to return to its employment peak, Klepper-Smith said.
The state has recovered only 48,600, or 40.1 percent, of the 121,200 jobs it lost during the most recent recession, which ran from March 2008 through February 2010, according to the state Department of Labor.
Pension fix hinged on rebound
Not all of Malloy's present fiscal woes can be attributed to bad economic luck.
Having demanded concessions from state workers in 2011, the governor sought to return the favor one year later, unveiling a plan to dramatically ramp up state payments into the cash-starved pension fund.
Malloy offered that plan in late January 2012, even though the administration had downgraded its revenue expectations for its current budget that same month as the economy lagged.
Malloy officials defended the red ink at the time, noting there was plenty of time for the economy to improve. But administration officials have reduced revenue estimates three more times since then, in April and November 2012 and again in January.
By the time Malloy released his 2013-14 budget three months ago - and had to close an overall deficit of $1.2 billion - he proposed scaling back the pension fix to spend $150 million less than originally planned.
And while another report this week finally raised revenue expectations for this year by $240 million, due largely to a one-time bump in gift tax receipts, it also lowered them for 2013-14 by $259 million. Based on those changes, the potential shortfall in the next budget approaches $1.5 billion.
Surging demand for Medicaid-funded health care has been another fiscal thorn in Malloy's side. But this is another example of the governor being plagued by a problem at least partially of his own making.
The governor's budget office estimated in November that Medicaid would cost the state $5.23 billion next fiscal year, but in February, the governor proposed spending $185 million less than that.
The governor and legislature budgeted $156 million less for Medicaid programs in the Department of Social Services this year than Malloy's own fiscal staff projected would be necessary.
The administration has tried to mitigate these Medicaid gambles by proposing cost-cutting measures.
But state legislators didn't warm to some of them. And federal Medicaid officials balked this spring at a series of cost-cutting restrictions Malloy sought for Connecticut's Medicaid for Low Income Adults program.
Through mid-April, Medicaid spending was running $247 million in deficit this fiscal year.
"I don't believe we have proposed budgets that have unrealistic Medicaid savings," Barnes said.

Are you struggling with the cause/effect relationship of playing a team with an excellent defense? Cause: Unable to move/score against defense. Effect: Lower offensive ranking.
The commonality between all 5 of those teams is they played 1/5 of their games against the Seahawks' defense.
A simplistic model of cause/effect is that after week 1, every team that was 1-0 got there by winning against a losing team.

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of the 1986 World Championships, Breckenridge and Rockstar Energy Drink combined forces to create the inaugural Breckenridge Throwback Thowdown. Living legends like Chris Pappas, Nate Doggg, Steve Fisher, Todd Franzen and Chad Otterstrom were in attendance, as well as young guns Luke Mitrani, Danny Davis, Taylor Gold and Zack Black. With riders' aged from thirteen to forty-eight, this event was truly a mash up of old and new styles.
This was not your average contest to say the least. The age differences combined with era specific features and tricks made for an entertaining event. Young and old alike were celebrating the history of snowboarding. In the morning things got started at the top of Breckenridge's superpipe where riders were given three runs to impress the judges. These invite-only participants were not allowed to spin any tricks over a 540. Extra points were given based on style and props for era-appropriate gear and clothing. After a quick lunch break, the competition continued in the hand-dug 1986 replica pipe built by the Breckenridge Park Crew. Close to the base and rowdy spring breakers, anything went
Scores were tallied based off of 50% super pipe and 50% old school pipe so all competitors had to participate in both events to have a chance to place. At the end of the day it was Rebecca Sinclare for the ladies, and Zack Black for the guys!
