Missouri Southern joined the NCAA Division II ranks and the MIAA for the 1989-90 school year.
But it wasn't the Lions' original idea to leave the NAIA.
"The vision was from Ed Harris (former athletics director) at Missouri Western. This was his deal," Jim Frazier, the AD at Missouri Southern at the time, said Tuesday afternoon. "There was no way we would allow Missouri Western to leave the NAIA and the CSIC (Central States Intercollegiate Conference) and not be a part of that.
"There was no way Pittsburg State would let us go and not be a part of that, and Washburn's AD was totally in tune that he wanted Washburn to be a part of it. A domino effect is what it was.
"There was no disenchantment and no animosity with the NAIA whatsoever. It was a matter of keeping up with the Jones, and the credibility it gave our university in comparison to other state universities is what the MIAA brought to us. It was a question of positioning ourselves for the long term hopefully, and it's turned out really well. I thought it was a smooth transition and a great transition."
Also, the change was good financially.
"The difference in financial support and structure, there was no comparison," Frazier said. "In the NAIA baseball experiences, it cost us money to send our teams to regional and national play. The NCAA, they pay all our expenses. That was a biggie."
The departure caused some hard feelings from the remaining four CSIC schools — Emporia State, Fort Hays State, Kearney State and Wayne State (Neb.).
"Those meetings were interesting," Frazier said. "Kearney and Emporia and the others were mad at us. It ended up with some bad feelings, but I was not going to be left out. No way would I let Missouri Western do something that we wouldn't do."
However, Emporia State joined the MIAA in 1991, Fort Hays State became an MIAA member in 2006, and Kearney State (now Nebraska-Kearney) was part of this year's four-team expansion.
In fact, when Truman State leaves the league after this school year, there will be only four schools that were MIAA members 23 years ago when Missouri Southern joined the league — Central Missouri, Northwest Missouri State, Southwest Baptist and Lincoln, which actually left the league in 1999 but rejoined in 2010.
The newcomers in 1989 were welcomed into the league by most of the MIAA schools.
"They were ready to take us for the most part," Frazier said. "We didn't know whether Central Missouri would break away or what they would do. Southeast Missouri was very adamant. They didn't want us."
Southeast Missouri left the league and became a Division I school after the 1990-91 seasons. Missouri-St. Louis (1996) and Missouri-Rolla (2005) also left the league to become members of the Great Lakes Valley Conference, the same league that Truman State is joining next year.

When the President delivered his State of the Union last week, he demonstrated bold leadership on finding new and innovative ways to cut waste, increase efficiencies, improve education — from Pre-School to higher education — keep families safe, and create jobs. The vision the President laid out will move our nation forward. Here in Maryland, we are already working towards stronger families, stronger communities, and a stronger America.
Reducing Gun Violence
Here's what President Obama Said:
"Overwhelming majorities of Americans – Americans who believe in the 2nd Amendment – have come together around commonsense reform – like background checks that will make it harder for criminals to get their hands on a gun."
"Police chiefs are asking our help to get weapons of war and massive ammunition magazines off our streets, because they are tired of being outgunned."
And here's what we've done and are doing in Maryland:
Whether it's horrific mass shootings like the ones in Newtown and Columbine, or murders on the streets of our cities, we lose far too many American lives each year to gun violence.
That's why we've introduced a comprehensive approach to reduce gun violence focused on three strategies: (1) gun safety; (2) school safety; and (3) mental health.
1.) Gun safety: We should ban military-style assault weapons, limit large ammunition capacity, and require licenses for handgun purchases. We respect the rights of hunters and sportsmen and that's why our licensing requirements will NOT apply to shotguns or rifles.
2.) School safety: We will invest in security upgrades for schools, including cameras at entrances, automatically locking doors, shatterproof glass and buzzer entrance systems. We will also establish a "Maryland Center for School Safety," which will amplify our efforts by gathering meaningful data and serving as a central hub for collaboration between our federal, state and local law enforcement partners.
3.) Mental heath: First and foremost, we will work to keep guns away from people who may be dangerous to themselves or others as a result of mental illness. We will also improve data sharing practices between federal and state officials, and invest more to improve mental health services so we can intervene early and reduce the potential for violent behavior. Finally, we will expand crisis intervention teams, expand response services, and establish a center for excellence on early intervention for serious mental illness.

I've back packed with my wife in the Colorado mountains for years. My wife hated the food we took most of the times. When I switched to Mountain House, she loved it. So do I. Everything we've eaten tastes like it was freshly made.
I've invested on Mountain House food for most of my food storage mainly because of the way it's sealed.
If you're uncertain about which long term food to buy, pick up and try their sample pack. You'll see what I mean. (Posted on 5/29/2012)

IMHO lists are nice to see what others think but are somewhat irrelevent; unless it spurs the reader to discover some music they're not familiar with.
I think I included your point in my article. Trying to pick ten CDs from an entire year's releases will always be arbitrary to some extent, though I feel the toughest choices are narrowing my list from 25-30 down to just 10.
I thought this was a hopping good article. I generally begin my list in December of the previous year, allowing a one month overlap. I add to my list as the year goes on, considering and reconsidering what I hear. I am just glad that most of the music is of such a high quality that it makes my end-of-the-year list hard to assemble.
You say: "I feel the toughest choices are narrowing my list from 25-30 down to just 10."
That's why I don't :-) I break it down to 12 jazz picks, 6 historical/reissue, 6 progressive/fusion/other and 6 new discoveries: 30 in all. Props to you, man, for being able to whittle it down to only 10!

STILLWATER, Okla. —
Seven months ago the Oklahoma State women's basketball team was on top of the world — winning the first Women's NIT championship in program history.
Now it seems like just another step in the right direction for the Cowgirls, who are not only expecting to make the NCAA tournament but are looking to make a deep run.
Oklahoma State hopes to take another step in the right direction as it hosts Cal Poly in the season opener at 5:30 p.m. Friday in Gallagher-Iba Arena.
"Our goal is to compete in every game in the Big 12 and finish as high as we can," coach Jim Littell said. "It's going to be awful hard to unseat Baylor as tough as they are, but we expect to get to the NCAA tournament and make a run and play well. We expect to be competitive against everybody we play in the Big 12. We have a lot of weapons and I'm confident that these young ladies will take a step even further than they did last year."
Expectations are already high for the No. 23-ranked Cowgirls, who will begin the season ranked for the first time since the 2008-09 season. But those expectations aren't unreasonable.
"I think we should match up with just about anybody," Oklahoma State senior Toni Young said. "I'm not very big, but I can jump and I have speed. You have to use what you got to beat your opponent. We've got people like (Lindsey Keller) that can bully people in the post. We just have to combine our talents into one solid unit."
The Cowgirls showcased some of that talent in a 118-43 exhibition rout of Central Oklahoma on Wednesday. Oklahoma State's new fast-paced offense clicked throughout the night, showing very little in the way of a learning curve, even with new players like freshman phenom Brittney Martin joining the corps of returning players from last year.
"We have a goal of getting four players in double figures each night," Littell said. "We were able to get seven in double figures (against Central Oklahoma). When you're able to do that, you're going to have a lot of success."
Rebounding has also been a big point of emphasis in the offseason and will no doubt be a big factor in Friday's game.
"We always stress offensive rebounds," Littell said. "We had 23 of them (against Central Oklahoma), so that was a big plus. … We're going to continue to work hard on the glass and try to get those rebounds."
There is one area Littell said he would like his team to improve on after Wednesday's exhibition — defense.
At times the Cowgirls looked confused against the Bronchos, something they can't afford to do against a Cal Poly team picked to finish fourth in the Big Sky Conference.
"We have got to get better on defense," Littell said. "It's not where we need it to be. We're going to continue to try to improve it over these first few games before we hit the conference season."
After taking some baby steps against the Bronchos, Littell does feel that the Cowgirls are ready to hit the ground running. And the excitement of opening night just adds even more punch for an Oklahoma State squad looking to win its seventh consecutive home opener.
"I'm excited about playing," Littell said. "We have a lot of games coming here in a hurry, and they like playing in the games a whole lot better than they do practicing, I can tell you that.
"We've worked pretty hard in practice and they're excited. We've had a quick turnaround, but we know that every night's a new opportunity to get better and take that next step toward where we want to be at the end of the season."

Summer Music: 10 Sun-Kissed Country Songs
"Summertime, and the livin' is easy" — so goes the old American standard. Since then, those words have been emulated by enough country stars to fill up a theme park. From songs about popular modes of transportation and the right thing to wear (or not wear), to one's frosty beverage of choice, The Boot dips our toes into this cool countdown of country music's essential sounds of summer.
10. 'Water,' Brad Paisley
Sun-soaked lyric: "All you really need this time of year is a pair of shades and an ice cold beer"
Aquaphobics (or, in Brad's word: "wusses") need not fear this H2O-soaked paean to one of the most essential of all elements. In spite of the fact that humans are more than 60 percent water, there can never be enough when it comes to wet and wild summer fun.
9. "Sweet Summer Lovin'," Dolly Parton
Sun-soaked lyric: "By a stream in the country, running barefoot and feeling free"
Rather than spend time at the beach or a barbecue, Dolly and the object of her affection are getting busy among the dandelions. We're not sure what candy wine is, but it sounds like just the thing to serve with a PG-rated summer fling.
Watch Dolly Perform "Sweet Summer Lovin'"
8. "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems," Kenny Chesney
Sun-soaked lyric:"The sun and the sand and a drink in my hand with no bottom"
Try to walk into a restaurant half-naked and you'll be asked to leave. But when it's vacation time, shirtless, barefoot and carefree is the only way to go — if you're a man, and as well-toned as Kenny. Speedo optional (and in most cases ill-advised).
Watch the "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems" Video
Sun-soaked lyric:"You'll see rock-hard bodies and bikini hotties/And everybody's got it goin' on"Faith joins the "barefoot ladies and tricked out Mercedes" crowd. But if straw sombreros and T-top Camaros are more your speed, there's a parking place for you, too. Who wouldn't want to join in on this Mississippi girl's good time in the summer sun?
Sun-soaked lyric:"You had a suntan line and red lipstick/I worked so hard for that first kiss"Barbecue-stained T-shirt aside, a teenage boy's chance encounter with a hottie in a miniskirt on Labor Day sounds like an unforgettable late season fantasy. Flash forward a few years and those sweet summer memories are still strong.
5. "Strawberry Wine," Deana CarterSun-soaked lyric: "The hot July moon saw everything/My first taste of love, oh, bittersweet"
Some summer memories aren't exactly a day at the beach. Looking back on the loss of her innocence and reminiscing about a simpler time — when 30 was old — Deana vividly recalls, like they say in the movies, "that summer when everything changed." Bittersweet, indeed.
4. "Drunk on You," Luke Bryan
Sun-soaked lyric: "And when it gets a little bit hotter, we'll take off on out in the water"
An intoxicating romance is just the thing to keep a buzz going all summer long. So what if the object of your affection is a bit elusive (as depicted in Luke's drama-filled video)? The results can be sweeter, even after the buzz wears off.
3. "Toes," Zac Brown Band
Sun-soaked lyric: "I got my toes in the water, ass in the sand, not a worry in the world, a cold beer in my hand."
Leaving Georgia for the warmer weather in Mexico, Zac and company return north but take the island with them. Even if it's all in the imagination, life is good. Let's hope, however, that Zac returns to more than just PBR. By our count, he's leaving behind beer, rum, Jaegermeister and tequila, not to mention a well-tanned bartender.
2. "Pontoon," Little Big Town
Sun-soaked lyric: "Makin' waves and catchin' rays up on the roof, jumpin' out the back, don't act like you don't want to"
Credit for the first pontoon boat goes to Minnesota farmer Ambrose Weeres. Sixty years after his invention, a quartet of country stars has made them the hottest summer accessory since the jet-ski. Thanks to Little Big Town, motorboatin' will once again only bring to mind one recreational activity.

Sun-soaked lyric: "Down by the river on a Friday night/Pyramid of cans in the pale moonlight"
A burger and a grape snow cone aren't much consolation when it's obvious what you're really after. But Alan and friends still manage to make a party — and learn a few life lessons — out of stacking cans and swapping stories by that muddy Georgia river.

Suzuki Aerio Wagon: MPG - Real World Numbers
anthonyc1 Posts: 2if its stop and go that may not be too bad for a 4 wheel drive car. if its highway it isnt good . i have a new fwd and i seem to get around 25 or so mixed driving. it has 300 miles and isnt broke in yet. after the first oil change i will switch to synthetic oil. u may want to look into that , it could help a little with mileage and certainly protect the engine. good luck
2005sx Posts: 3I have a 2005 Aerio SX and mine started out with low gas mileage. I suspect yours is very low due to being AWD. I have heard of this complaint from other Aerio AWD owners. My gas mileage kept getting better till I reached about 6,000. i also believe temperature has something to do with it. It seems to get better mileage in warmer weather. IT goes down when it is cold. I have gotten up to 33 on highway and average 25 to 28 around town. Mileage also dips one or two mpg for using AC.
spmrebel Posts: 130Hi 2005sx,
Thats great gas mileage you are getting with your SX. I had a 2003 SX FWD and the most I ever got was 30 mpg. I had heard that the 2.4L is a more fuel effecient engine than the 2.0L was. Anyway, mine was a great car and I got 57K trouble free miles until I sold it in June.
Happy motoring
aeriohawaii1 Posts: 39I have a 2005 Aerio SX and I also started out with low MPG. It was running about 23 mpg, but that is the same that a Honda Accord gets with the same size engine, so I wasn't that disappointed. But as the engine broke in at 5,000 miles, I began averaging about 27.5 mpg and it has stabilized at this high level. I think that is not bad considering that a Scion Xa and Xb get only about 32 mpg, but with Alot smaller under powered engine and Alot less zip.
kenboiler Posts: 7I read what everybody says and it's mostly my experience. I just got back from 3,200 miles. If I don't drive aggressively and didn't have the AC on, I got 34.8 on the interstate. With AC and moving along I got 30.8. For the power, it seems like good mileage to me. It did take about 5,000 miles to break in.
bren Posts: 24I own a 2004 Suzuki Aerio SX AWD auto 2.3 liter.
I bought it used with 9,000 miles and now it has 43,000.
I very consistently get 21-22 mpg with a mix of city and highway (55-70 mph). Rarely I will actually reach 23! In harsh winter, I've had as low as 19 mpg.
On the very first 100% highway trip I ever took, I got 26 mpg. The few exclusive highway trips after that I got the same measley 21-23.
These cars, particularly the AWD models, really seem to suffer at higher speeds on the highway.
My previous car was a 1998 Saturn SW2 (1.9 liter automatic with about 125 hp). In identical conditions, I used to average 26 mixed/30 hwy.
I suppose if you subtract 1 mpg for each of the following reasons, my Suzuki doesn't seem quite so bad:
1) Saturn was a few hundred pounds lighter
2) Saturn was lower to the ground and probably more aerodynamic
3) Suzuki has larger, more powerful engine
4) Suzuki's AWD saps economy
Thankfully, using the a/c a lot hardly affects the already 'modest' mpg's...
Yes a loose gas cap can definitely cause all of the above! Poor gas mileage, gas odor or fumes, CEL light, etc.
The gas cap must be tightened properly but turning the gas cap until it clicks atleast 3 times.
With my previous Suzuki I bought a genuine Suzuki part Locking gas cap for it. From day 1 it would't seal correctly and I ended up with all those problems but didnt realise what was causing it. One I figured out what it was I purchased an aftermarket locking gas cap and that instantly fixed it.
Ok first I will mention my car which is a 2006 Aerio SX 5-spd, Premium Package.
I bought the car brand new with only 5 miles on it and I was shocked at my first tank of gas which only yielded 19 MPG! But I also realised that some cars take a while to break in. After about 1000 miles the MPG when up to about 22mpg but I still wasnt happy with that so I went talked to the dealer and they sent out a Suzuki Technition to talk to me about it. He said the following: Change the oil immediately, but just use normal dino oil not synthetic. Then when ever you get on the freeway, go to the on-ramp shoulder, come to a complete stop, then when the road is clear take off down the on-ramp and red-line your RPM's every shift until you get to freeway speed. He said keep doing this until you reach about 5k miles. He said that because of the engine design, these cars take an unusually long time to break in the engines and get the rings seated properly. He also said he has seen people that have 30k to 40k on their Aerio's already that are having some problems because they drove the car WAY to easy for the first 5k and the rigns didn't get a chance to seat properly before carbon started to build up in the groove. And because of this, they started having all kinds of problems such as gas mileage which never did get better or even got worse, engine ticking/pinging, and sometimes CEL issues. He said the solution is to drive the Aerio normal for the fist 500 miles, then get an oil change, and then begin the above break-in process in which you redline it on a regular basis until you reach 5k miles.
Well I followed his advice, and sure enough...I could see the results happening progressively. Finally by the time I had 5k miles on the car, I was all the way up to 24 to 25 MPG in the City and around 32 MPG on the hwy.
I was happy with the results but I then did a few more things which may be the reason why my MPG's have continued to improve or it may also be a combination of the other things I did with the engine continuing to break-in. What I did was every other oil change I would add in 1/4 to 1/2 a bottle of duralube. You can buy that at Walmart or G.I. Joes (now just called Joe's). Joe's had the best price but Walmart is only a couple bucks more.
The other thing I did was increase the air pressure in my tires. I found that if I run between 35 to 40 psi, the car handles better and it seems to help with the MPG a little bit.
So bottom line what did I end up with? After all this, the city mpgs were dependable 25 to 26 mpg,
Hwy is dependable 35 mpg at 70 to 75 miles per hour. You gotta keep the RPM's below 3k!!!! For ever mile per hour that you exceed 75 you will see at least 1 mile per gallon decrease!
Best MPG I get in my car and more than just once is 39mpg. I can get this when I do road trips where I'm on smaller hwy's that snake thru Washington state like Hwy-2 and Hwy-97 where i drive between 50 to 65 miles per hour. Each time I get 39 MPG when doing that trip (from Everett WA to Okanogan WA)
The other common sense thing I do but I know a lot of people don't do this is when I'm doing city driving I aways shift at or BELOW 2K RPM. It's very easy to do once u get the hang of it.
Ok on to my roomates car. He has a 2004 Aerio SX AWD. Obviously that makes it an automatic.
He bought his car new also, and we kinda broke his car in the same way but not because we were told to at that point, we were just having fun driving it hard lol. But I guess that was a good thing because he gets good MPG's in his car too even though it's an automatic and it's AWD.
In the city he gets between 22 to 24 mpg depending on how he drives. Most of the time it's more towards the 24 side unless he gets stuck in traffic and has the A/C running the whole time.
On the hwy he gets between 30 to 32 MPG.
At one point, he did notices a drop in MPG's around 57k miles. I suggested he put in 1.5 ounces of acetone in his fuel at every fill up for a a good 5 tanks or so. That fixed the problem and MPG's improved again. He also noticed the engine was smoother at idle with the acetone.
Now he has 83k miles on the car and still getting good MPG's. No issues with the car other than A/C water drip on passenger side floor and noisy tension pulley after start up.
Tasie Posts: 1I just purchased a 03 Aerio with 43,000 and i checked my mileage on my first tank of gas and only got around 17mpg. Yes it is AWD, yes 60% of that was in town, but still horribly disappointing. I know I need to check my tire pressure, but beyond that I really don't know. This car is very different than anything else I have ever owned and I don't even know how to begin to approach this terrible mileage. It of course was sold to me with no manual and I don't even know where to start. Fuel additive, oil change, air filter, fuel filter....what? I am just wondering if someone else has any insight on a particular issue that these may have so I have someplace to start.

Now this is how to do a superhero movie.
"The Avengers" melds together the egos, powers and box-office appeal of several comic-book heroes into one colossal film that actually delivers on most of its promises.
Written and directed Joss Whedon, it's everything a summer blockbuster should be: action-packed, humorous and pure unadulterated fun.
The story pulls together several of Marvel Comics greatest heroes to, of course, save the world. This time, the threat comes from a familiar source, Loki, estranged brother of the superhero Thor.
Loki (Tom Hiddleston) steals a unique power source, the Tesseract — bravely buried by Captain America last year — that can help fuel an invasion of Earth. All that stands before him is the super-secret organization of SHIELD, run by Samuel L. Jackson's stoic Nick Fury, and its tenuous alliance with a handful of well-meaning superheroes.
Iron Man is still on the planet, while Thor has to soar in from Asgard, and Captain America has to emerge from the '40s. Added to that group of solo movie stars is another incarnation of the Hulk, with Mark Ruffalo taking over from the failed Eric Bana (2003) and decent Edward Norton (2008) versions.
Then there's sexy assassin Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), who doesn't have superpowers but is good with her hands, feet and any gun that happens to be around; and Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), another unaltered human with a really cool bow and arrows.
Perhaps because most of them have had setup movies, the characters are all vivid and colorful.
The heroes are amusingly unfriendly and uncooperative with each other, a squabbling family with some entertaining internal battles.
Whedon does a good job of playing up the personality clashes that happen when such a diverse group is forced together, and many good one-liners follow.

The publisher of The Journal News today said the newspaper has removed an interactive map listing details of handgun permit holders in Westchester and Rockland counties from its web site, Lohud.com.
The map and a report about gun permits in the two counties was published in the wake of the deadly shooting in Newtown, CT, where 20 students and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School were killed.
"In the wake of the Sandy Hook shootings, The Journal News thought the community should know where gun permit holders in their community were, in part to give parents an opportunity make careful decisions about their children's safety," said publisher Janet Hasson in a letter to readers. "But public reaction to the posting of names and street addresses was swift and divided. Many in the community expressed their gratitude for The Journal News' decision to make the information available, but permit holders were outraged at what they considered to be an invasion of privacy. Gun owners from across the country vocally conveyed their anger and accused The Journal News of having exposed permit holders and non-permit holders alike to the risk of burglaries and other crimes. Hundreds of threats were made to Journal News staffers."
Hasson said the decision to remove the gun permit data from Lohud.com was not a concession to the newspaper's critics. She said the data has been public for 27 days and that those who would want to view the information have had time to do so. She also said that as time passes, the data will become outdated and inaccurate.
In reaction to the publishing of the data, the state Legislature included changes to state law on the release of gun permit information as part of a gun violence packaged initiated by Gov. Andrew Cuomo in his State of the State message last week.
The changes would allow gun permit holders to opt out of having their information become public information. And, it includes a 120 moratorium on the release of permit information.
In response to the paper's decision to remove the data, state Sen. Greg Ball, R-Patterson, who was vocal critic of the map, issued a statement.
"Thank God the Journal News has finally realized the error in their judgment and done the right thing," Ball said. "Whether they did this responding to the public's outcry or because they were simply fearful of getting sued due to the rash of burglaries and threats against law enforcement and victims of domestic violence, we will never know. Regardless, I am proud to have passed legislation keeping the Journal News from doing this ever again and proud to have been shoulder to shoulder with thousands of residents who were dealt a crappy hand by the eggheads at the Journal News. I look forward to them creating an interactive map of level three sexual predators, rapists and felons with illegal gun purchases, but I won't hold my breath."
Westchester County Executive Robert Astorino urged the newspaper to take down the permit information, and today Rockland County Clerk Paul Piperato asked the newspaper to remove the map in light of the provisions included in the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act.
"From the moment the Journal News published the gun owners map, it put law abiding citizens, including judges, police officers and victims of domestic violence, at risk," Astorino said tonight. "I had asked the publisher to take down the map as a matter of public safety and common sense. Though four weeks too late, I am glad to see the Journal News has finally done the right thing and taken the map down."
The newspaper originally also sought gun permit information from Putnam County, but officials there refused to release the information — although it was subject to the state's Freedom of Information Law.
"As a news organization, we are constantly defending the public's right to know," Hasson said in the letter. "Consequently we do not endorse the way the legislature has chosen to limit public access to gun permit data. The statute is very broad and allows anyone who meets certain criteria within qualifying categories to keep their permit information private. When the moratorium concludes, far fewer permit holders will be identifiable, and those who want to know which houses on their block may have guns will not be able to get that information. But we are not deaf to voices who have said that new rules should be set for gun permit data."

Missouri soon will make a top 10 list that's a health-related ticking time bomb, if current patterns in obesity in the state continue.
Missouri's total of obese adults—along with related disease rates and health care costs—is on track to increase dramatically over the next 20 years, according to F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America's Future 2012, a new report released Tuesday by Trust for America's Health (TFAH) and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF).
For the first time, the annual report includes an analysis that forecasts 2030 adult obesity rates in each state, and the likely resulting rise in obesity-related disease rates and health care costs. By contrast, the analysis also shows that states could prevent obesity-related diseases and dramatically reduce health care costs if they reduced the average body mass index (BMI) of their residents by just 5 percent by 2030. (For a six-feet-tall person weighing 200 pounds, a 5 percent reduction in BMI would be the equivalent of losing roughly 10 pounds.)
"This study shows us two futures for America's health," said Risa Lavizzo-Mourey, MD, RWJF president and CEO in a news release about the report. "At every level of government, we must pursue policies that preserve health, prevent disease and reduce health care costs. Nothing less is acceptable."
The analysis, which was commissioned by TFAH and RWJF leaders, and conducted by the National Heart Forum, is based on a peer-reviewed model published last year in The Lancet. It is the ninth annual report. New findings include:
Projected Increases in Obesity Rates
If obesity rates continue on their current trajectories, by 2030, the obesity rate in Missouri could reach 61.9 percent. According to the latest data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2011, 30.3 percent of adults in the state were obese.
Nationally, by 2030:
- 13 states could have adult obesity rates above 60 percent
- 39 states could have rates above 50 percent
- all 50 states could have rates above 44 percent.
Mississippi could have the highest obesity rate at 66.7 percent, and Colorado could have the lowest obesity rate for any state at 44.8 percent.
Projected Increases in Disease Rates
Over the next 20 years, obesity could contribute to 843,420 new cases of type 2 diabetes, 1,760,591 new cases of coronary heart disease and stroke, 1,585,199 new cases of hypertension, 1,016,888 new cases of arthritis, and 241,389 new cases of obesity-related cancer in Missouri.
Currently, more than 25 million Americans have type 2 diabetes, 27 million have chronic heart disease, 68 million have hypertension and 50 million have arthritis, according to medical authorities. In addition, 795,000 Americans suffer a stroke each year, and approximately one in three deaths from cancer per year (approximately 190,650) are related to obesity, poor nutrition or physical inactivity.
Projected Increase in Health Care Costs
By 2030, obesity-related health care costs in Missouri could increase by more than 13.9 percent, which could be the 31st highest increase in the country, according to the new report.
Nationally, nine states could see increases of more than 20 percent, with New Jersey on course to see the biggest increase at 34.5 percent. Sixteen states and Washington, D.C., could see increases between 15 percent and 20 percent.
In the United States, medical costs associated with treating preventable obesity-related diseases are estimated to increase by $48 billion to $66 billion per year by 2030, and the loss in economic productivity could be between $390 billion and $580 billion annually by 2030. Although the medical cost of adult obesity in the United States is difficult to calculate, current estimates range from $147 billion to nearly $210 billion per year.
How Reducing Obesity Could Lower Disease Rates and Health Care Costs
If BMIs were lowered by 5 percent, Missouri could save 7.9 percent in health care costs, which would equate to savings of $13,368,000,000 by 2030.
The number of Missouri residents who could be spared from developing new cases of major obesity-related diseases includes:
- 179,659 people could be spared from type 2 diabetes,
- 152,070 from coronary heart disease and stroke,
- 133,798 from hypertension,
- 75,434 from arthritis, and
- 13,704 from obesity-related cancer.
"We know a lot more about how to prevent obesity than we did 10 years ago," said Jeff Levi, PhD, executive director of TFAH in a news release. "This report also outlines how policies like increasing physical activity time in schools and making fresh fruits and vegetables more affordable can help make healthier choices easier. Small changes can add up to a big difference. Policy changes can help make healthier choices easier for Americans in their daily lives."
Report Recommendations
On the basis of the data collected and a comprehensive analysis, TFAH and RWJF representatives recommend making investments in obesity prevention in a way that matches the severity of the health and financial toll the epidemic takes on the nation. The report includes a series of policy recommendations, including:
- Execute the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, by implementing the school meal standards and updating nutrition standards for snack foods and beverages in schools;
- Protect the Prevention and Public Health Fund;
- Increase investments in effective, evidence-based obesity-prevention programs;
- Fully implement the National Prevention Strategy and Action Plan;
- Make physical education and physical activity a priority in the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act;
- Finalize the Interagency Working Group on Food Marketed to Children Guidelines;
- Support healthy nutrition in federal food programs; and
- Encourage full use of preventive health care services and provide support beyond the doctor's office.

DALLAS (SMU) -- The Dallas Independent School District is teaming up with The Institute for Engineering Education at SMU to offer a new program aimed at helping prepare middle and high school students to take advanced math and science courses. Two hundred fifty students who have completed 7th, 8th and 9th grade will participate in the monthlong program to be held on the SMU campus June 3-28.
A particular goal of the program is to improve the students' problem-solving skills in math and science. Such skills are now prerequisites for admission to most universities and can help make students more competitive for college scholarships. Having such skills also can help students pursue more than one major while in college or complete "accelerated master's degree programs" in which they earn both an undergraduate and graduate degree in four years.
Another goal of the program is to help expose the students to campus life. During lunch each day guest speakers from SMU will inform the students about the college admissions process and campus activities such as fraternities and sororities, athletics and drama. There also will be tours of different schools and museums on the SMU campus.
"For 98 percent of these students, this will be their first time on a college campus," said Mike Acosta, assistant director of The Institute for Engineering Education at SMU.
The institute was created in 2001 to facilitate collaboration among universities, K-12 educational organizations and corporate entities to address the issues related to the shortfall in engineering and technical talent expected in the coming years.
More than 90 percent of students participating in the summer program are minorities and most come from disadvantaged backgrounds.
"This program is unprecedented in terms of the exposure the students will get to campus life," said Rene Martinez, director of youth mentoring for DISD. DISD has held similar summer camps in the past at its own facilities. This summer, SMU math and science professors will work with teachers from DISD to offer the math and science classes while more than 30 undergraduate and graduate students from SMU will help serve as mentors for the students. DISD is using funds from a National Science Foundation grant to support the program.
"By exposing students to problem-solving strategies in algebra and physics, we hope these students will go on to the next level in these areas," Martinez said.
The first two weeks of the program will focus on math, and the second two weeks will focus on science. Students will participate in one or both of the sessions.
Students participating in the program were selected by their school counselors and teachers. Almost every DISD middle school and high school has some students participating in the program.
"I'm not very good in math, so I was excited when I heard about this because I know you need to know math so you can get a good job," said Monique Trejo, who will be attending Gaston Middle School this fall.
Tony Bustos, a math teacher at Woodrow Wilson High School, said it is great to have the SMU students participating in the program because they serve as good role models for the younger students.
Currently, fewer than 15 percent of students in the U.S. graduate from high school with the math and science courses required to study a science-based discipline in college.
"It is important for universities to become involved in the education of students early enough in the process so that they can be influenced to take the courses they need to prepare for college," said Geoffrey Orsak, executive director of The Institute for Engineering Education at SMU.

With Congress going back into session, farm groups are demanding action on a new farm bill. The current law expires at the end of September. But an issue that goes beyond the farm is edging in on the debate.
Originally published on Wed August 15, 2012 5:20 pm
In the high-profile race for U.S. Senate in Missouri, incumbent Democrat Claire McCaskill is seizing on this year's drought to win support among rural voters.
Speaking at the historic Soulard Farmers Market, Senator McCaskill laid in to her opponent in the November election—Republican Congressman Todd Akin—for his opposition the Senate version of the federal farm bill, which includes disaster assistance for farmers reeling from this year's record drought.
Were it not for Republicans like Todd Akin, McCaskill says that relief would be on its way to farmers and ranchers.

The U.S. Senate passed a new half-trillion dollar farm bill today, funding programs from farm subsidies to food stamps for the next five years. Both of Missouri's senators voted yes on the bipartisan bill.
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack is in Missouri touting President Obama's job creation plans, laid out this week in his state of the union address. This comes as the agriculture department faces a shrinking budget.

The Oskaloosa Herald
Fall is almost here. Temperatures this past week have been a little BELOW normal. When was the last time that happened here? Temperatures this next week look to be in the lower 70s with lows in the upper 30s to lower 40s. There also appears to be minimal chances of some rain this weekend. I have received a couple of questions this past week relating to two particular questions I answered this summer.
Question: Why has the City of Oskaloosa discontinued city wide clean up?
For this question, I contacted Akhilesh Pal in the Public Works department. Pal said that in 2009, the City Council decided not to continue the City Wide Clean up. Pal said the biggest reason for discontinuing the clean up was the cost it had on the city.
Source: Akhilesh Pal, Public Works Director
Question: Who is responsible for maintaining alleyways?
This topic seems to come up a couple of times each year. For this question, I talked to Akhilesh Pal, our Public Works Director. For downtown alleys, The city is responsible for maintaining those. For residential alleys, a resident can request that the city fix an alley, however the resident will be responsible for purchasing the material (such as gravel) for fixing the alley. If a resident can't provide the material, the city will grade the alley.

STILLWATER, Okla. —
The 22nd-ranked Oklahoma State men's basketball got a handful Wednesday in the bruising play of USF at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
The Cowboys handled the physical nature of the game to hold on for a 61-49 victory.
"The game was played how I fully anticipated it being played. Most of their games are playing grinding it out," OSU coach Travis Ford said. "It was a great defensive team we played. The pace was the way they wanted it for much of the night, but we don't really mind playing that way. We'd like it to go a little bit faster.
"Pretty much every timeout I kept telling the team that whoever's defense is better tonight is who is going to win. This was a defensive battle, and whoever outrebounds the other team (would win)."
Ford was right in that sense. Oklahoma State (6-1) finished with 13 more rebounds than the Bulls (5-3), while also scoring 19 second-chance points and limiting USF to just 7 second-chance points.
The biggest boost the Pokes got came in the performance of center Philip Jurick. The senior from Chattanooga, Tenn., tied his career-high in points with 7, while hauling in a game-high and career-high 14 rebounds.
"I thought Jurick really controlled the middle and handled the glass extremely well for them," USF coach Stan Heath said. "They got some interior scoring from him, as well."
Jurick, who is less than a year removed from an Achilles injury that sidelined him for the back end of last season, also gave the Cowboys a big momentum boost when he put back a missed field goal for a one-handed slam with just under seven minutes left in the game — to give OSU its largest lead of the game.
"I've never seen him get that high before," said OSU guard Markel Brown, who is known as a high-flier himself. "I didn't know he could jump that high. I don't know what got into him on that play."
On defense, the 6-foot-11, 260-pound center for OSU helped slow down the Bulls. USF's trio of Anthony White, Martino Brock and Jordan Omogbehin — who played the center spot for the Bulls — went scoreless in the contest.
"I think between his performance and the three guys we had playing at the five was a huge difference in the game," Heath said. "We got zero points and about 5 rebounds and they got 13 points and 16 rebounds."
The big night from the OSU big man was needed for the Pokes, who got little production from Le'Bryan Nash, the team's leading scorer at 19 points per game prior to Wednesday's contest. Nash didn't score his first points until the 4:30 mark in the first half and ultimately finished with 6 points in the game.
"In a game like this, when you get in foul trouble and you have to sit out, you are not going to get in a flow — it's impossible," Ford said. "In a game like this, if you're not able to stay out there for a long period of time and get a sweat going and get a feel for their defense, it's hard to get going. And he had to sit out both halves, only playing 22 minutes —which obviously is not very many for him."
Oklahoma State got its typical production from point guard Marcus Smart, however, who finished with a game-high 15 points to go with a game-high five assists for the Cowboys. He also came away with a team-high four steals.
OSU will return to Gallagher-Iba Arena on Saturday for a 3 p.m. tipoff against Missouri State, which lost to Tulsa Wednesday night, 61-42.
Cowboy notes: Ford commented after the game on the status of Brian Williams, who was thought to be out for the season. The OSU coach had said on his radio show earlier in the week that there was a chance Williams could be back from his wrist injury earlier than expected.
"I think Brian Williams will play this year, I do think that — hope the trainer's not listening," Ford said following Wednesday's contest. "We've just received really good news. He went back a week ago and it was together and as they said, it was over a month ahead of time.
"He's going to be getting out of his cast and the screws out any day now. Then it's a matter of strengthening it. ... We'll see. I'm probably getting a little ahead of myself. But I'm very optimistic."

---- — CHEERS to Vashaun Vermette and Blayke Turcotte, two Malone Middle School students who did the right thing when confronted with a situation that would have tempted many young people to stray. During the school day on June 19, the two sixth-grade boys found a wallet out on an athletic field. Inside was more than $100. Now, we all know how stunned they must have been to see that the wallet was loaded with money. But Vashuan and Turcotte did just what they should have; they took the wallet to the Malone Middle School Office and turned it in, so it could be returned to its rightful owner. Their parents and teachers must feel proud that these boys are so honest and caring. We understand that on that warm day, the office staff gave the boys each an orange fruit drink as a token of their good deed. We add a gold star from the Press-Republican.
JEERS to national chain stores and restaurants in our region that refuse to accept Canadian money under any circumstances. These unyielding outfits usually cite company policy as the reason they won't take the loonies. Obviously, somebody at corporate headquarters does not understand the economic dynamic of our region, which relies heavily on Canadian customers and sees plenty of that currency on a daily basis. We can understand if a corporation does not want to take Canadian currency in Kansas City, but in Plattsburgh, just a few miles from the border and an hour away from a major Canadian city? It just doesn't make much business sense. Rejecting Canadian money causes an inconvenience to visitors who are hoping to spend money in this area — and might make them feel less inclined to return.
CHEERS to the Walgreens pharmacy in Plattsburgh, whose pharmacists call customers to see how they're doing on new medications a few days after filling the prescriptions, ask if the customers have any questions and discuss any possible problems or side effects. We hope other pharmacies provide this extraordinary customer service; we happen to have been made aware that Walgreens does this. Pharmacists are so much more than people who fill bottles with pills. They are on alert for problems that could be caused by different medications and watch for possible troublesome reactions and dangerous interactions. Their counsel is valued by customers, so we applaud all pharmacists who show that they are available to answer questions — and especially those who go out of their way to check up on their customers. That caring attitude inspires loyalty.
— If you have a Cheers and Jeers suggestion that you want the Editorial Board to consider, email it to Editor Lois Clermont at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Commerce Journal
With the widespread use of Facebook and Twitter, I get to read my friends thoughts on a variety of topics on a minute by minute basis. Often these include where they are, events, sports scores, amusing photos and the occasional wedding, pregnancy or relationship update. Over the past few days my Facebook news feed has blown up with a variety of comments on Valentine's Day. Many of them go something like this:
"There shouldn't be one day out of the year when you show love to your spouse/boyfriend/girlfriend. You should do that every day."
"Valentine's Day is just a way for companies to make money."
"Valentine's Day makes me sick."
"Happy Singles' Awareness Day!"
"I hate Valentine's Day, it's superficial..."
You get the picture. Perhaps you have a similar opinion about Valentine's Day. That's your right. But here's a few words that might change your mind.
First of all, of course you should show love and care for your loved ones all year long. How does do something a little extra detract from that? It's nice that there is a specific day that you can prepare for to show someone you care about them. The world is a busy place, and we often get caught up in the mundane cycle of our daily lives. My dad buys my mom flowers every Valentine's Day and adds some mushy card about how she is the wind beneath his wings or something like that. Does that mean my dad doesn't care about my mom the other 355 days of the year? No, it's just a way for him to express his love for her.
If the commercialization of the holiday makes you sick, then make something homemade for your loved one. Make them dinner, watch a movie together, just spend time together. You don't have to buy chocolates or bears of flowers to celebrate Valentine's Day. You don't have to participate in the commercial aspect of the holiday.
For single people on Valentine's Day, get over it. Sure, the holiday might emphasize the fact you're single, but if that makes you depressed, then you have bigger issues than Valentine's Day. Either ignore the holiday, or use it as an opportunity to celebrate other cherished people in your life, like friends or family.
If you think Valentine's Day is superficial, it's all about the effort and purpose that people put into celebrating it.
Regardless of your opinion of the holiday, I'm tired of hearing how people hate it. If you don't like it, ignore it and let people who do appreciate it do so in peace.

For the seventh consecutive month, Roseville's housing activity posted a gain in year-over-year sales, according to data from the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors (MAAR).
Roseville logged 39 completed home sales in September, a 5.4 percent gain compared with the same month in 2011, the trade group reported. Meanwhile, the median home sales price in Roseville was $179,250 in September, up 10.6 percent from $162,000 for the same month a year ago, MAAR said.
Another sign that confidence seems to be returning to the market: There were 67 new "For Sale" listings in October, up 45.7 percent from 46 in September, 2011, according to MAAR data.
Year to date, Roseville's completed home sales are up nearly 40 percent compared with the same period a year ago and the city's median home sales price is $181,000, up 15.8 percent from $156,250 last year.
Roseville's results mirror the Twin Cities region, which overall is experiencing the closest thing it's seen in a long while to a "boom market"—or it would be, at least, if more homeowners were willing to post a "For Sale" sign.
Andy Fazendin, president-elect of the Minneapolis Area Association of Realtors, said the median sales price across the 13-county area in September was $174,000, up 12.3 percent from the same month a year ago. In addition, homes spent an average of 101 days on the market, selling 28.7 percent faster than last year at this time. Sellers received, on average, 94.8 percent of their list price, 4.1 percent more than in September 2011.
"Interest rates in the Twin Cities are around 3.4 percent and buyers have a justified sense of urgency," Fazendin said. "Housing has gone from a laggard the past few years to leading the charge in 2012."
The only missing ingredient, he said, is a supply of sellers. With prices now just beginning to recover from the awful declines of recent years, many homeowners may be holding out in hopes that the surge will continue.
As a result, the number of homes for sale in the area has dropped for 20 consecutive months and is now below 16,000 for the first time since December 2003, during the last boom market. Months' supply of inventory—a common figure describing how long it would theoretically take to sell every available home on the market—fell 40.9 percent to four months.
Figures below four months' supply indicate a sellers' market, Fazendin said. He added that in September, sellers brought 5,341 properties to the market, 4.1 percent fewer than last year.
Another advantage for sellers: They no longer have to compete with such a huge wave of cheap, "distressed" properties entering the market.
Short sales and foreclosures, which tend to sell for about 27 percent less than comparable "for sale" properties sold the traditional way, made up only 30.6 percent of new listings in September 2012, the lowest percentage since June 2008, with the result that "there's finally some room to breathe for traditional sellers," said Cari Linn, MAAR's president

- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Place the potatoes into a saucepan and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then cook over medium heat until tender enough to pierce with a fork, about 10 minutes. Drain and mash with butter and milk to your desired texture.
- Meanwhile, crumble the ground lamb into a large skillet. Cook and stir until no longer pink. Season with Worcestershire sauce and beef bouillon. Add the mushrooms and onion; continue to cook and stir until tender. Transfer the contents of the skillet to a large casserole dish.
- Mix the baked beans, diced tomatoes, gravy mix and carrots in with the lamb. Dollop big blobs of mashed potatoes over the top and carefully spread evenly to cover the entire top. Rake over it with a fork to create a crispy texture on top when it browns.
- Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until the top is browned and crisp.

Oh so good! Didn't look like it would be but it was amazing! I would have started the meat before the potatoes though as it took longer. I also used beef since I had it on hand, corn instead of carrots, added a little extra worcestershire sauce and used the IKEA meatball gravy mix. The whole family was quiet while gobbling it down. The 2 yr old came back after dinner to clean her plate and the picky 5 yr old asked for more!
Very nice...lamb is the original Shepherd's pie...hence the word Shepherd...thanks!
Yeah, its shepherds pie, so its not the most exotic thing you can put on the table. But it is quick, easy, and one of the most flavorful shepherds pie I have had. I did use all "optional" ingredients to put as much flavor in as possible. Long story short - quick, easy, tasty. If the family doesn't like it let them cook for themselves!

Breathing helps a person calm the mind, focus attention, become more centered; and slow down a racing, scattered, or stressed out brain. After breathing quietly, a person may be able to approach the very next task with more focused attention. (Where your attention is, your life is also!). Breathing is one of the world's most universally recognized ways to calm oneself down and is used in childbirth, yoga, meditation, and music.
Has anyone ever told you to "just breathe"? What does that mean? Even people that are in the midst of a panic attack are breathing. If not, they would not be alive! What are some specific ways that you can rely on your breath in a way that create calmness?
1) Be aware of your breath when you are not anxious or upset. Take a minute to simply check in with yourself. Notice the inhale and the exhale- and the air moving in and out of your nostrils. Notice your chest or stomach rising and falling. If you do this a few times a day, or once a day for a week, you can start to be more in touch with your breath.
2) When people start to panic, they often hyperventilate. This can lead the feeling that a person just isn't getting enough air, which can exacerbate feelings of panic. When feeling panicky or anxious, a person might take shallow breaths, gulp for air, or take hiccup-like breaths. One way to counteract this is to count on the inhale but count longer on the exhale. For instance, you can inhale to a steady count to five, but exhale to a steady count to seven or eight. Another variation on this theme can be inhaling as you take one step and exhaling as you take two or three steps.
3) Another way to assess the quality of breath is to put one hand on your chest and one hand on your stomach. If you are breathing shallowly, the hand on your chest will be going up and down. Lengthening your exhale, breathing into your diaphragm, and getting the hand on your stomach to move up and down will help you breathe more deeply.
4) Similar to #3 (but harder to do in public situations) is to lie flat on the floor (on your stomach, face down). Put your hands underneath your forehead with your elbows sticking out to the side. This will also help you deepen your breath.

DERRY — The life of a Derry soldier was honored last week. The family of Marine Lance Cpl. Michael Geary received the state's Medal of Honor in a ceremony held in Concord.
Gov. John Lynch awarded the medal to the family of Geary, one of four fallen soldiers receiving the honor.
Geary, 20, was killed in combat in December 2010, while serving with Fox Company 2/9 United States Marine Corps in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.
He was a 2009 graduate of Pinkerton Academy.
The award was created to honor any New Hampshire citizen who has given his or her life while in the line of military duty since Nov. 4, 1979, the date when militants took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, Iran, holding Americans hostage for 444 days.
Lynch signed the law creating the medal in 2007. The bill was proposed by Derry's Robert Letourneau, a state senator at that time.
Geary's mother Nancy accepted the honor in memory of her son.
"I know the void in your heart will never be filled, ever, regardless of how much time goes by," Lynch told the families. "Hopefully, this Medal of Honor will be reflective of our appreciation for your sacrifice and a memory that will last forever in the name of your loved ones."
