MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The head of Scott Walker's administration says the Republican governor makes smart choices in proposed state budget – while creating jobs and making government more efficient.
Mike Huebsch made the remark Tuesday, as the Legislature's Joint Finance Committee started hearing from department heads who will explain their spending requests over the next week or so.
A Democrat on the panel, La Crosse Senator Jennifer Shilling, said party is concerned about a number of budget items. The biggest include a proposed income tax cut, driving a number of BadgerCare clients to the Obama insurance exchanges, and expanding private school vouchers.
After the agencies make their cases, the finance panel will hold four public hearings around the state to get people's input – and then they'll consider changes to the governor's package.

Legendary Oakland Raiders center, Jim Otto, will be at Hartnell College on Wednesday, September 29, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., to bring light to the importance of prostate cancer awareness and prevention.
Otto will speak to students and the public about Blue September, and what it means to "face up to prostate cancer." His speech will begin at 11:30 in the college quadrangle, and will be followed by a question and answer session with the media.
Otto's 15-year professional football career was nothing short of inspirational. When he emerged from college, he was considered by some to be too small for the offensive line. He was selected by the upstart Oakland Raiders in 1960 where he was a teammate of Hartnell's Tony Teresa. Otto went on to shine as the anchor of the offensive line, and was selected as the all-league center for the American Football League in every year of the league's 10-year existence. He also was named the starting center on the AFL All-Time team. He was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1980, the first year he was eligible. His accomplishments were even more remarkable considering that he had to play through injuries and surgeries throughout the 308 games of his career, including starting in all 210 regular season games in that 15-year span.
One of his greatest challenges, though, came when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2002. He has since turned to spreading the word about the disease as a celebrity spokesperson for Blue September, an organization dedicated to raising awareness of prostate cancer and the importance of screening. The Oakland Raiders dedicated their season opener against the Rams to the organization.
This event, organized and sponsored by the Associated Students of Hartnell College, is free and open to the public. Free parking is available the entire day at the college parking structure at 411 Central Avenue in Salinas.
Students will turn the college blue for this very important event: Blue face-painting will be done for donations, Blue September buttons will be sold, the student government will operate a dunk tank for the charity, and Otto will autograph two footballs for raffle.
For more information about the event, please contact Mercedes Quintero, 831-755-6825, or firstname.lastname@example.com.

October 02, 2013, 11:42 PM — Yahoo will stop giving T-shirts as a reward for finding security vulnerabilities after a public shaming it's calling "t-shirt gate."The company received a drubbing from the Swiss security company High-Tech Bridge after it found four serious vulnerabilities in Yahoo's network, all of which have now been fixed. Three of those problems -- cross-site scripting flaws -- could have allowed an attacker to hijack a person's Yahoo email account.
Starting Oct. 31, Yahoo will pay rewards ranging from US$150 to $15,000 for vulnerabilities provided those flaws are new, unique or high risk. It plans to retroactively reward researchers who notified the company of issues going back to July 1, wrote Ramses Martinez, director of Yahoo's security team, in a blog post on Wednesday.
"This includes, of course, a check for the researchers at High-Tech Bridge who didn't like my t-shirt," Martinez wrote.
High-Tech Bridge issued a press release on Monday saying Yahoo offered $12.50 in credit per vulnerability, which could be used toward Yahoo-branded items such as T-shirts, cups and pens from its store.
As a result, High-Tech Bridge said it would hold off doing more research on Yahoo's network. The company wrote that Yahoo's reward was "a bad joke."
Many large companies such as Google and Facebook offer lucrative bounties for vulnerability information. Google will pay up to $20,000 for a qualifying vulnerability, and Facebook pays a minimum of $500.
It's cheaper for companies to pay for vulnerability information rather than hire full-time researchers. It also helps dissuade researchers from turning to hacking forums to monetize their information, where it might be used to do harm.
Yahoo never had a formal process for recognizing security researchers. Martinez wrote that he began started sending T-shirts to researchers to express thanks.
"I even bought the shirts with my own money," he wrote.
But Yahoo had recently decided to improve its vulnerability reporting program. While Yahoo acted fast on the vulnerability information it received, "my 'send a t-shirt' idea needed an upgrade," Martinez wrote.
"This month the security team was putting the finishing touches on the revised program," he wrote. "And then yesterday morning 't-shirt-gate' hit. My inbox was full of angry email from people inside and out of Yahoo. How dare I send just a t-shirt to people as a thanks?"

Stop the waterworks without dialing down your intensity, says professor of exercise science and FITNESS advisory board member Michele Olson, Ph.D.
Step 1: Loosen up. Choose looser bottoms (they won't cling to you-know-where) with wick-action fabric. Look for a built-in panty patch to absorb moisture.
Step 2: Powder down. Sprinkle an absorbent, talc-free powder, such as Vagisil Deodorant Powder, into the crotch of your bottoms before you put them on.
Step 3: Assume the position. Snag a cardio machine near a fan, and angle the breeze toward your lower body rather than your face. —Chee Gates

GAINESVILLE, TX--- An explosion in Gainesville destroyed one home and caused residents of six surrounding homes to evacuate after high levels of natural gas were detected.
The explosion happened around 7 a.m. on the corner of Tennie and Weaver streets. Before the explosion, a work crew had been working in the area to repair a water line when authorities say they noticed the gas leak.
"We checked the natural gas levels and due to a high level of natural gas in the sewer vents we did perform some evacuations," Atmos Energy spokesperson Jennifer Ryan said.
A total of seven homes were evacuated and authorities say just moments later one of the homes caught fire and exploded.
"Police and fire responded and sectioned off and continued to evacuate a one and two block area," Gainesville City Manager Barry Sullivan said.
Greg Burtram lives eight blocks away and says the explosion rocked his house.
"I was standing in the kitchen talking to one of my daughter-in-laws and having a cup of coffee when I heard the explosion. It rattled the windows and rattled the dishes in the cabinet," Burtram said.
"I really thought it was an 18 wheeler, then I stepped outside and saw it wasn't," neighborhood resident Victor Fundora said.
Firefighters say the home was engulfed in flames when they arrived and that is a total loss. City officials say the explosion could've been much worse.
"No one was hurt during this event or during the city or utility response," Sullivan said.
By around 2 p.m. families were allowed back into their homes. Atmos has since restored gas and electricity to most of the homes in the area.
However, some of the home's gas services were not able to be restored. Some residents received a blue tag from Atmos indicating that a technician need to come out to restore gas services.
Water was restored to the impacted homes around 7 p.m. So far, there are no specifics on what caused the explosion at the home. Atmos Energy representatives say they are still investigating.

THURSDAY, May 5 (HealthDay News) -- If you have a brain
aneurysm, drinking coffee, having sex or even getting angry may
boost the risk of it rupturing, a new study suggests.
Although the risk is extremely small, people who have aneurysms
should be careful, said Dr. Sahil Parikh, assistant professor of
medicine at University Hospitals Case Medical Center in
"For those patients who do have aneurysms, it would be advisable to avoid those behaviors," said Parikh, who's familiar with the study findings.
Aneurysms occur when the wall of an artery weakens and bulges
out. They can occur anywhere in the body, but are particularly
dangerous in the brain, where they can cause a hemorrhagic
(bleeding) stroke if they burst.
In the study, published online May 5 in the journal
Stroke, researchers asked 250 patients who had suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm about their exposure to 30 possible triggers before the hemorrhage.
The investigators found that being startled raised the risk of
burst aneurysm in someone who already has an aneurysm by the
highest level -- 23-fold. Anger boosted the risk by 6 times. Other
things raised the level, too: Coffee (2 times), cola (3 times),
straining for defecation (7 times), sexual intercourse (11 times),
nose blowing and vigorous physical activity (both 2 times).
The cause seems to be higher blood pressure, said study lead
author Dr. Monique H.M. Vlak, since all eight activities cause
blood pressure to rise.
Vlak said about 2 percent of the population has a brain
aneurysm. They are often symptomless and frequently harmless.
"You shouldn't be scared because the likelihood of this happening is extremely rare," said Parikh. "I would encourage patients not to worry excessively about it and consult with their doctor if they feel at risk of an aneurysm."
Even if you do have an aneurysm, it's unlikely to bother you.
"We think most aneurysms never rupture," said Vlak, a neurologist
at the Utrecht Stroke Center at University Medical Center in
Utrecht, the Netherlands.
"Most aneurysms are discovered incidentally, since they hardly ever cause symptoms before rupturing," she added. "If they do cause symptoms, most often it is double vision or an incredibly severe headache, which is maximal within less than a minute. The latter is often a small leak and is called a 'warning leak.'"
People with known aneurysms should avoid caffeine, Vlak said,
and use laxatives if they're constipated.
As for exercise, Vlak said its positive effects on the body
outweigh the extra risk among those patients.

Procedure: psychosocial assessment and care
|Study Type:
|Official Title:
|A Study to Evaluate Different Decision-Making Approaches Used by Women Known to be at Increased Risk for Breast Cancer
- Social, environmental, and psychological influences on the decision of women at risk for breast cancer as to whether or not to take a SERM [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Factors hindering women from taking chemoprevention for breast cancer [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Reasons for the choice of raloxifene vs tamoxifen among menopausal women [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|August 2011
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|August 2016 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
- To describe the influence of social, environmental, and psychological factors (sociality of medication intake, life-events, understanding of prevention, clinical situation) on the decision of women at risk for breast cancer as to whether or not to take chemoprevention agents.
- To determine the implications of and influences on decision-making that a diagnosis of "being at risk for breast cancer" has for women.
- To determine what factors hinder women from taking chemoprevention for breast cancer.
- To field test a questionnaire that identifies the factors that influence the decision-making process of women at increased risk of breast cancer for whom chemoprevention is a medically indicated option.
- To describe the influence of social, environmental, and psychological factors on the decision of women at risk for breast cancer as to whether or not to take chemoprevention agents by menopausal status.
- For postmenopausal women who decide to take a selective estrogen-receptor modulator (SERM) for breast cancer prevention, to assess reasons for the choice of raloxifene versus tamoxifen.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Participants undergo a counseling session about their increased risk for breast cancer and the use of a selective estrogen-receptor modulator (SERM), tamoxifen citrate or raloxifene, to reduce breast cancer risk. Some participants may have their counseling session video-recorded. They are also asked to review the video with their interviewers and to be contacted for a brief follow-up telephone interview.
Participants then complete an initial questionnaire to assess recall and understanding of risk information given to them during the counseling session. This first questionnaire is completed preferably on the same day of counseling before leaving the clinic or office. Participants also have the option to take the questionnaire home and return it to the study site within 2 weeks. Participants who return the first questionnaire complete a second one before leaving the clinic or office, or receive it by mail with a returned self-addressed stamped envelope. Participants who indicate on the second questionnaire that they do not want to take a SERM are asked to complete an online questionnaire. Participants who have not made a decision about SERM use within 3 months after counseling are contacted by telephone. They also receive the second questionnaire by mail 3 months after the telephone contact.
Interviewers, doctors, or other health-care professionals also complete questionnaires that indicate what was discussed during counseling sessions.

SPOKANE, Wash.— One Spokane woman could face hundreds of dollars in fines if she does not fix a $2,000 parking problem she didn't know she had.
KREM 2 On Your Side found that parking on an unpaved driveway violates a Spokane code. But, the homeowner will usually only be penalized if a neighbor complains.
"We never block the sidewalk, we keep it open, we know that law," said homeowner Rebecca Eliason who lives near Princeton and Morton.
She said she parked her cars the same way every day for ten years. Then in April, Eliason received a letter in the mail that said she was breaking Spokane City Code and had two weeks to fix it.
"I can't believe that. I have a driveway in the front yard, I'm not allowed to use it to park," said Eliason.
Her driveway was not paved and did not have the required dip in the sidewalk at the end of the driveway. The City said those were violations.
Eliason was told she needed to spend $2,000 to have a contractor fix her driveway if she wanted to continue using it or she would face hefty fines.
Eliason was not the only one in the neighborhood breaking City code. A KREM 2 News crew found cars parked in lawns, cars parked on sidewalks and RV's parked in front of houses. They found all types of cars parked on unpaved driveways. Most of the homeowners said they had no idea they were breaking code.
The Lead Code Enforcement Officer said her department operates on a "complaint-based" system. This means officers do not perform routine patrols. The officers rely on neighbors to complain if there is a problem.
City officers also said they will not ticket a homeowner if they see violations while responding to other complaints.
The complaint-based system is not unique to Spokane. Cities of similar size, such as Boise and Reno, respond to calls from citizens.

Almost all Dominicans are descendants of African slaves brought in by colonial planters in the 18th century. Dominica is the only island in the eastern Caribbean to retain some of its pre-Columbian population--the Carib Indians--about 3,000 of whom live on the island's east coast.
The population growth rate is very low, due primarily to emigration to more prosperous Caribbean Islands, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada.
English is the official language; however, because of historic French domination, the most widely spoken dialect is a French patois. About 80% of the population is Catholic. In recent years, a number of Protestant churches have been established.
In 1635, France claimed Dominica. Shortly thereafter, French missionaries became the first European inhabitants of the island. Carib incursions continued, though, and in 1660, the French and British agreed that both Dominica and St. Vincent should be abandoned. Dominica was officially neutral for the next century, but the attraction of its resources remained; rival expeditions of British and French foresters were harvesting timber by the start of the 18th century.
Largely due to Dominica's position between Martinique and Guadeloupe, France eventually became predominant, and a French settlement was established and grew. As part of the 1763 Treaty of Paris that ended the seven years' war, the island became a British possession. In 1778, during the American Revolutionary War, the French mounted a successful invasion with the active cooperation of the population, which was largely French. The 1783 Treaty of Paris, which ended the war, returned the island to Britain. French invasions in 1795 and 1805 ended in failure.
In 1763, the British established a legislative assembly, representing only the white population. In 1831, reflecting a liberalization of official British racial attitudes, the brown privilege bill conferred political and social rights on free nonwhites. Three Blacks were elected to the legislative assembly the following year. Following the abolition of slavery, in 1838 Dominica became the first and only British Caribbean colony to have a Black-controlled legislature in the 19th century. Most Black legislators were smallholders or merchants who held economic and social views diametrically opposed to the interests of the small, wealthy English planter class. Reacting to a perceived threat, the planters lobbied for more direct British rule.
In 1865, after much agitation and tension, the colonial office replaced the elective assembly with one comprised of one-half elected members and one-half appointed. The elected legislators were outmaneuvered on numerous occasions by planters allied with colonial administrators. In 1871, Dominica became part of the Leeward Island Federation. The power of the Black population progressively eroded. Crown Colony government was re-established in 1896. All political rights for the vast majority of the population were effectively curtailed. Development aid, offered as compensation for disenfranchisement, proved to have a negligible effect.
Following World War I, an upsurge of political consciousness throughout the Caribbean led to the formation of the representative government association. Marshaling public frustration with the lack of a voice in the governing of Dominica, this group won one-third of the popularly elected seats of the legislative assembly in 1924 and one-half in 1936. Shortly thereafter, Dominica was transferred from the Leeward Island Administration and was governed as part of the Windwards until 1958, when it joined the short-lived West Indies Federation.
After the federation dissolved, Dominica became an associated state of the United Kingdom in 1967 and formally took responsibility for its internal affairs. On November 3, 1978, the Commonwealth of Dominica was granted independence by the United Kingdom.
Independence did little to solve problems stemming from centuries of economic underdevelopment, and in mid-1979, political discontent led to the formation of an interim government. It was replaced after the 1980 elections by a government led by the Dominica Freedom Party under Prime Minister Eugenia Charles, the Caribbean's first female prime minister. Chronic economic problems were compounded by the severe impact of hurricanes in 1979 and in 1980. By the end of the 1980's, the economy had made a healthy recovery, which weakened in the 1990's due to a decrease in banana prices.
In June 1995 elections, Edison James, leader of the United Workers Party, became Prime Minister, replacing Dame Eugenia Charles.
The unicameral parliament, called the House of Assembly, is composed of 21 regional representatives and nine senators. The regional representatives are elected by universal suffrage and, in turn, decide whether senators are to be elected or appointed. If appointed, five are chosen by the president with the advice of the prime minister and four with the advice of the opposition leader. If elected, it is by vote of the regional representatives. Elections for representatives and senators must be held at least every five years, although the prime minister can call elections any time.
Dominica's legal system is based on English common law. There are three magistrate's courts, with appeals made to the Eastern Caribbean court of appeal and, ultimately, to the Privy Council in London.
Councils elected by universal suffrage govern most towns. Supported largely by property taxation, the councils are responsible for the regulation of markets and sanitation and the maintenance of secondary roads and other municipal amenities. The island is also divided into 10 parishes, whose governance is unrelated to the town governments.
As a member of CARICOM, in July 1994 Dominica strongly backed efforts by the United States to implement UN Security Council Resolution 940, designed to facilitate the departure of Haiti's de facto authorities from power. The country agreed to contribute personnel to the multinational force, which restored the democratically elected government of Haiti in October 1994.
In May 1997, Prime Minister James joined 14 other Caribbean leaders, and President Clinton, during the first-ever U.S.-regional summit in Bridgetown, Barbados. The summit strengthened the basis for regional cooperation on justice and counternarcotics issues, finance and development, and trade.
In addition, the United States and Dominica work together in the battle against illegal drugs. Dominica cooperates with U.S. agencies and participates in counternarcotics programs in an effort to curb narco-trafficking and marijuana cultivation. In 1995, the Dominican Government signed a maritime law enforcement agreement with the U.S. to strengthen counternarcotics coordination, and in 1996, the government signed mutual legal assistance and extradition treaties to enhance joint efforts in combating international crime.
As a popular tourist destination for Americans, Dominica had nearly 188,000 cruise ship passenger arrivals in 1996, the majority of whom were U.S. citizens. In addition, there were more than 13,500 other U.S. visitors in 1996. It is estimated that 4,500 Americans reside in the country.
The United States maintains no official presence in Dominica. The ambassador and embassy officers are resident in Barbados and frequently travel to Dominica.
The U.S. Embassy in Barbados is located in the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce Building, Broad Street, Bridgetown (Tel: 246-436-4950; Fax: 246-429-5246).

Make yourself at home at our Holiday Inn Express® hotels in Oceanside, just north of San Diego near Camp Pendleton. From your sunny Southern California base, you'll soon be sunbathing on golden beaches and admiring incredible surf photography at the California Surf Museum.
Our Oceanside hotels are near the historic Oceanside Pier. Reaching some 1,900 feet into the Pacific Ocean, the pier is perfect for an early morning jog or a sunset stroll. The beaches closest to the pier are busiest—head farther south for less congestion and free street parking. You can rent a boogie board or sign-up for surf lessons with the vendors and shops at Tyson Street Beach. The California Surf Museum downtown celebrates surfing culture with photographs of the sport's legends and a collection of historic longboards. At the San Diego Wild Animal Park in Escondido, rhinos, giraffes and lions roam in relative freedom in naturalistic settings. Walk the park's many trails or hop aboard an open-air tram for a closer look.
Order surf-and-turf at restaurants in Harbor Village near our Oceanside hotels or head downtown for an excellent selection of Mexican eateries. Shops in Harbor Village specialize in beach gear and souvenirs, though you'll find a variety of boutiques and antiques stores downtown. Laid-back Oceanside nightlife revolves around Harbor Village watering holes, where locals and Camp Pendleton Marines shoot pool and sip cold beers.
Choose our Holiday Inn Express® hotels in Oceanside to explore California's largest Spanish mission. The stately white Mission San Luis Rey de Francia was built in the 1800s in a sheltered valley a short drive inland from our Oceanside hotels. Tour the beautifully-restored church to see the copper altar hand-hammered by Native Americans. The mission's enclosed central square features an elaborate stone terrace and sunken garden.

Ron Kamaka is in his 12th season as a Titan assistant coach, his eighth year on a full-time basis that was elevated to the role of associate head coach two years ago. He works primarily with the jumpers and pole vaulters.
Kamaka's life and track and field career are an inspiration to all who are around him. A 7-foot-3 1/2 high jumper at Arizona State as a collegian, he has been confined to a wheelchair since a surfing accident in 1990 in his native Hawai'i. On the verge of suicide, he found Christianity and has since lived a life "a lot more rewarding than the 27 years I spent walking" in his words. His technical knowledge has been chronicled by NCAA qualifiers such as Brandon Campbell and Matt Turner in the jumps and Olympic pole vaulter Giovanni Lanaro among others. His communication and counseling have positively affected many more Titan student-athletes.
Kamaka also has been a major factor in the life of Rodney Anderson, a Cal State Fullerton basketball player who was the victim of a random street shooting near his home in Los Angeles in 2000 and also was confinded to a wheelchair. With Kamaka's guidance and counseling, Anderson returned to school and graduated in 2005 and is now married and headed toward a post-graduate degree.
Kamaka obtained his bachelor's degree in kinesiology from Sonoma State and a masters degre from Azusa Pacific. He has earned a USATF Level I coaching certificate. He and his wife of 10 years, Lynda, live in Irvine with their three children.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is setting an Oct. 1 deadline for compliance with new requirements for brokers and freight forwarders.
In a Federal Register notice Thursday, the agency laid out its plan for implementing the terms of last year's highway law, including a $75,000 bond requirement.
By Oct. 1, all regulated brokers and freight forwarders will have to have a $75,000 surety bond or trust fund agreement, the agency said.
The law requires brokers, freight forwarders and carriers that provide these services to register with the agency, which also has to be done by Oct. 1.
A broker or freight forwarder that operates without registering could be fined as much as $10,000.
The agency said it still is considering the possibility of allowing group surety bonds or trust funds to meet the $75,000 requirement, but for the time being they will not be allowed.
The agency set a 60-day grace period starting Oct. 1 for implementing the new requirements. It said that on Nov. 1 it will start mailing notices to companies that have not met the bond requirement.
The agency acknowledged that it does not know how many motor carriers engage in occasional brokerage that now must register as brokers. For that reason it will phase-in registration for carriers that also offer brokerage, using its consumer complaint line to gather information about these carriers.
"FMCSA strongly encourages all motor carriers not to accept loads from unregistered brokers or freight forwarders," the agency said.
I guess they could have called this the CH Robinson bill, as it will drive all the small brokers, and carrier/brokers out of competition. Nothing like a 750% increase in costs. How bout we make it fair, a bond set at average 30 days outstanding brokerage payables. that would make the big guys lose their minds.
How about require a bond that carriers can actually get paid from when brokers don't pay?? I hate any new regulations, but brokers require ALOT from carriers and the government is adding new restrictions every day. It is nice to have someone else have to make the changes for a while! I hate the $1 mil public liability they require us to carry. Makes those insurance costs go up for us, too. And the brokers that want to be additional insured on our insurance doesn't help either. If everyone stayed honest and safe we would be able to regulate ourselves.

You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I absolutely loved the design and personalized colors. The shimmering paper gave more of a glamorous look to it and the font gave it an elegant touch. My guests loved it as well and I received a lot of compliments :-)"
"I ordered this design in the textured paper with the bracket stlye cut. The design team was quick and made my desired changes with no problem. They are beautiful,simple and elegant.They were packaged well and arrived a week before the anticipated arrival date."
"The paper quality is very good and the printing is excellent. Shipping is very fast even in Italy and the staff of Wedding Paper Divas is really nice and helpful. I would recommend anyone to purchase on this website! My vote is EXCELLENT, I love Wedding Paper Divas."
"We ordered a sample of this on the shimmer paper and were blown away by the quality. Very sophisticated looking and quite the bang for our buck. We will be backing these on a tri fold and hopefully finding some matching belly bands. They appearance was completely different than the other two invitation samples I had ordered and was elegant and stunning"
"My wedding invitations turned out more perfect than I could have even hoped for! The paper is a thick, matte card stock; I was a little worried that it would look like I just printed a collage from my local photo department but it absolutely does not! Additionally, I requested custom colors for the background and text, and the designers nailed it perfectly! I couldn't be happier with my invitations!"

You might want to sweat more often to stave off disease.
By Womens Health Oct 14, 2013 7:12PM
You already get that it's great for your heart and mind; now research shows exercise could help ward off the big C. "More than 60 studies have shown physical activity reduces breast-cancer risk," says Leslie Bernstein, Ph.D., director of the division of cancer etiology at City of Hope National Medical Center/Beckman Research institute. "In fact, exercising three or more hours per week could reduce your risk by 20 to 30 percent."
The soda debate beyond sugar.
By Prevention.com Oct 11, 2013 6:34PM
In the age-old war between soda and diet soda, science is still gathering evidence. (Spoiler alert: we know who wins, and it's not soda.) Research often focuses on the mode of sweetener: sugar makes us obese, artificial sweeteners increase our risk for stroke and heart attack, and both make us more likely to be depressed. But what role does carbonation play?

Hires rates by region, November 2006 and November 2007
January 11, 2008
From November 2006 to November 2007, the hires rate decreased in the South region and in the West region.
Hires are any additions to the payroll during the month. The hires rate is computed by dividing the number of hires by employment and multiplying that quotient by 100.
In the South, the hires rate fell from 3.6 percent in November 2006 to 3.3 percent in November 2007. The hires rate in the West declined from 3.8 percent in November 2006 to 3.1 percent in November 2007.
These estimates are from the Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey. These data are not seasonally adjusted. Data for November 2007 are preliminary.To learn more, see "Job Openings and Labor Turnover: November 2007" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 08-0044.

Book Description:
Udderly hilarious! Minnie and Moo are back in two new tales, the latest in the series that the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books called "the cream of the beginning-reader crop." Moo longs for the days of heroes, the days of the derring-do of good-deed doers. As Juanita del Zorro del Moo and Dolores del Zorro del Minnie, our heroes roam the farm armed with an aerosol can of Zorro musk and a barbecue skewer, attempting to rescue the downtrodden. Can they free the chickens from the oppression of the rooster? Can they free the farmer's long underwear from being hung on the clothesline? Can they mind their own business? Of course not...they're Minnie and Moo.

Two employees who were placed on leave after lunches were taken from as many as 40 kids and thrown away because of late payments will soon return to work, the Salt Lake City School District announced Wednesday.
The district has not yet said who decided to yank kids' lunches at Uintah Elementary last month.
But a district food service manager tried twice — once before Christmas and once shortly after — to take lunches from students at Wasatch Elementary, Principal Julia Miller said.
Miller halted the first attempt to seize lunches. "I said, 'I need lunch served today,' " she said.
She was out of the building when her faculty thwarted the second attempt, in some cases reaching into their own pockets to pay for kids' meals. Some students were in tears at having their lunches taken from their hands, staff told Miller.
But the strategy was fully carried out at Uintah weeks later. Staff took lunches from children and gave them fruit and milk, sparking national controversy. District spokesman Jason Olsen said Wednesday he couldn't comment on why the employees on leave — Uintah's cafeteria manager and her district-level supervisor — were reinstated or whether they've been cleared of wrongdoing, because it's a personnel issue. He said the district's investigation is ongoing.
Parents have defended the school's cafeteria manager, contending she was following directions from higher up. Several Uintah parents expressed joy Wednesday upon hearing the school's cafeteria manager will return to work Thursday.
Parent Jessica Guynn, whose fourth-grader had her lunch taken, said it wasn't the cafeteria workers' fault that her daughter came home that day "starving, upset and embarrassed."
"I think someone at the higher levels of the district is making bad decisions, and I hope they address that," Guynn said. "If it's a group decision, I'm extremely alarmed a group of adults responsible for the welfare of children would have such a lack of judgment on how to handle this, and if it was just one employee's decision, I hope that person is dismissed."
'No child will ... be humiliated' • The district has apologized and changed its procedures, pledging now to give all kids full lunches regardless of their debt.
The district has also instructed its cafeteria workers to no longer discuss lunch debt with kids, instead bringing up the issue only with parents.
Parents will also be notified daily and weekly about lunch debts and low balances, respectively.
Many parents have said they were behind because they didn't realize the district had a new electronic payment system that required them to set up new notifications.
Wasatch's Miller said at the first attempt to take meals from her students, she asked to see the list of parents behind on payments. She had a feeling most of them just didn't know they were behind, she said.
She and her staff reached out to the parents and within a day had reached all but five or six of the more than 30 on the list, she said.
Miller said she is so far pleased with the way the district has tried to correct the problem.
"Our district has absolutely responded now appropriately," Miller said. "No child will ever go without a lunch. No child will ever again be humiliated."
Olsen said the district has also heard reports of lunch seizures occurring at other schools, though he didn't know exactly how many.
'You tie Uintah to this story' • Uintah parent Ashley Hoopes said she burst into tears upon hearing the school's cafeteria manager had been reinstated.
The leave "felt so unkind and so unfair to her," Hoopes said. "It sent a message to parents and the community that she had done something wrong."
District leaders have said the employees were not placed on leave for disciplinary reasons, but some parents felt they were stigmatized.
Hoopes, however, said some parents have also been dismayed at how other aspects of the situation have been handled.
Uintah's principal, Chelsea Malouf, sent an email to some parents earlier this month warning them about talking to the media.
"Every time one of you speaks on camera, radio, or for a newspaper, you tie Uintah to this story as the perpetrator of injustice," Malouf wrote.
"... This media publicity puts every child and staff member at Uintah at risk. ... Every time one of you is interviewed, my office and inbox are filled with Uintah parents and teachers who are worried about school security and wondering when you will stop."
The school fielded death threats after the lunch seizures drew national attention.
Hoopes, however, said the email made parents feel like they were under attack. "We were made to feel like we weren't allowed to voice opinions," Hoopes said.
And Guynn said that though she didn't receive that email, she wonders what might have happened if the media hadn't found out about the incident.
Attempts to reach Malouf for comment Wednesday, were unsuccessful.
Olsen, at the district, said Wednesday he was not aware of that email. Olsen said he does not know when the district's investigation into the lunch issue might conclude.

Artist: V.A.
Title: Elaste Vol. 4
Cat No: CPT 439-1/2
Format: 2-LP / CD
Welcome to the fourth chapter of the ELASTE series!
In this compilation I am progressing a style I am inaugurating: Vintage Futurism.
The best metaphor for this genre is Charanjit Singh's 1982 album Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat in which he created a sound which mirrors, but more importantly pre-dates, the first acid house record by five years. It is no novelty record, but truly capturing the hypnotic potential of acid/house music. It became my key track for Elaste Volume 4.
Previous incarnations of Elaste have aimed to catch the spirit of the late 70's Italian Cosmic Discotheque, a place where the history of DJing was rewritten within this microcosm. For this latest instalment I was most intrigued by weird of-the-time (or 'out-of' as the case turned out to be) electronic disco, a vast genre!
Bringing together those progressive avant-garde tracks that were expanding the genres . . . →

Remember Me
To those few persons who I've had to disappoint in the last week or so, including the fine folks at SkeptiCal this last weekend — where I was to do a session via Skype and where JREF President D.J. Grothe spoke about the future of skepticism, and Tyler Measom and Justin Weinstein presented on the new movie about me, An Honest Liar — I send my profound apologies and regrets...
I was recently rushed off to the hospital when a serious circulation problem presented itself, a product of my simply getting older, though at 84-going-on-100 I'm actually doing rather well! After several well-informed medical foreheads were thoroughly scratched and my aching frame was mercilessly poked, probed and scanned, a regimen was arrived at, and though we had to cancel a couple of recent talks and meetings that I'd very much wanted to attend, I'm now concentrating on moves that will assure my participation at TAM 2013, July 11th to 14th -- and a day or two on either side, if you'd prefer. That appears to be still "in the bag," and I'm assured that our intentions and hopes will be met...
Go to AmazingMeeting.com to have the latest details, please. I will be doing something very special for this event.
The JREF is fortunate to have a staff — D.J., Brian and the rest of the team — who are prepared to adjust to these sorts of sudden changes and emergencies, and I'm eagerly looking forward to greeting another giddy crowd of TAMmers in Las Vegas this year. Yes, I may be moving a tad slower, and though my naked-dance-on-fire-with-tambourines may have to be postponed this year, I'll still be telling bad jokes and showing you corny card tricks when begged. And doing a very special presentation Saturday, too. I just know that will impress you...
So, business as usual in Las Vegas, good people, onwards and upwards...!
Very sincerely, James Randi.
James Randi is the founder of the James Randi Educational Foundation.

Town renames Conn. school for slain teacher
Monday - 1/14/2013, 11:10pm EST
STRATFORD, Conn. (AP) - Officials of a town near Newtown, Conn., are renaming a local school for a resident killed in the massacre there and hailed as a hero.
HoneySpot Elementary School in Stratford will be named after 27-year-old Victoria Soto who died trying to shield her students from the gunman inside Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Shooter Adam Lanza killed 20 children and six educators at the school on Dec. 14 before committing suicide. He also killed his mother at their Newtown home.
Mayor John Harkins made the recommendation which was approved Monday night, exactly one month after the shootings.
The mayor also is hoping to build a memorial to Soto, and a petition has been started to rename a local street after her.
Soto graduated from Stratford High School in 2003.

Clark W Fobes San Francisco Bb Clarinet MouthpieceClark W. Fobes developed the San Francisco series mouthpieces over a period of twenty years. All of these mouthpieces reflect attention to the love of the craft of mouthpiece making and correct acoustical design. Fobes uses only Zinner blanks for these mouthpieces. These fine blanks represent the best in material and consistency currently available. Hans and Carsten Zinner have been extremely helpful in producing a very fine custom blank for Fobes. This blank is not available to other makers and should not be confused or compared to the Zinner blanks used by others.In addition to using this very fine custom blank, Fobes further customizes the bore by reaming it to specs that produce superior intonation and a characteristic Fobes ring. The Fobes San Francisco Bb clarinet mouthpieces produces a sound rich in overtones with a compact center, one that can find a place in any type of playing.
Order today with the no-risk assurance of our Total Satisfaction and Low Price Guarantees!
Wow, I was blown away with this mouthpiece; the craftsmanship is second to none. It is very free blowing and produces a very pure sound. I was a bit hesitant to buy it because of the price, but I?m glad I decided to. If you get this mouthpiece also be sure to get an ultimate ligature by Francois Louis. These two items paired will make the best out of your clarinet. I choose the 13 Kaspar style. The sound is just so magnificent, full bodied and dark in the low notes and warm in the higher notes. I highly recommend this mouthpiece. It also comes in a case that is a bit cheap, but at least it protects the mouthpiece.
Beautiful craftsmanship. One of the finest mouthpieces you will find. Very reed friendly, great response, tuning and tone. Easy to play and excellent in all respects. I have played most all of the top stuff out there including the top vintage mouthpieces and Clark Fobes mouthpieces easily equal of surpass most any. They should be on any serious player?s short list of mouthpieces to try!
I'd really been struggling with a mouthpiece that gave me that perfect focused sound, and then my teacher introduced me to this. She had gotten the CF and found it a little too closed, so she had recommended me to try the CF+. However, it also is fairly closed ( more closed than most mouthpieces). The mouthpiece really gives me this beautiful dark colorful sound that I cant live without! My only complaint is that both my teacher and I have a difficult time finding hard enough reeds. We're both using vandoren 5 with this. I would definitely recommend an experienced player to try this, because once you do, you will never have to look for a mouthpiece again!
I am very happy with my new mouth piece. Very free blowing. My teacher said my sound improved tremendously.
The San Fransisco CF+ is one marvelous mouthpiece! A nice sweet & dark sound, total dnamic control, superb intonation, and extreme comfort! The only other mouthpiece in my case is a Fobes CWF mouthpiece. I own many quality pieces, from $450 to $250, and they are all now in a drawer. Maybe I can make them into doorstops. I recommend the CF+ to anyone looking for "THAT" sound!
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.
