Al and Tipper: Getting Divorced After 60
Dr. Michelle Golland: Tipper and Al Gore aren't alone in choosing to end their 40-year-old union. The phenomenon of "The Gray Divorce" is growing. More and more 50-plus men and women are deciding to end their decades-old marriages. Some say it's due to the economic freedom that many women now enjoy; others credit Viagra, because it has helped create vastly new sexual experiences for older adults. Sixty may be the new 40!
A May 2004 survey conducted by the AARP found that women initiated 66 percent of these gray divorces -- often blindsiding their husbands.
The men who left marriages after many years often cited another relationship as the cause, while women left because they had reached a breaking point in an often-unhappy and difficult marriage. Both men and women cited the desire for freedom and a new identity as being pivotal in their decision to leave a longstanding marriage. Many of these couples also felt they needed a greater sense of meaning and fulfillment in their lives -- and obviously believed that was unattainable with their current partner.
In the last three decades, marriage has changed more than it had during the preceding 3,000 years. The marital union went from being a dependent partnership based mostly on economics to being mostly an equal union that is expected to provide emotional, sexual and financial fulfillment. Now more than ever, couples today want it all: economic equality, deep emotional commitment as partners and parents, and sexually satisfying lives. It's a lot to expect from one person -- especially when we haven't really been told how to have all of that (and certainly didn't see our parents having it, either).
The Baby Boomers are turning 60 and are facing retirement in large numbers. This transition from hard work to working less can destabilize a marriage in many ways. Al and Tipper Gore have cited "growing apart" and "leading separate lives" as culprits in the demise of their marriage. This is not at all surprising, considering their age, the age of their children and their busy lives. It's often the shared story of raising a family that holds couples together -- and when that starts to change as kids go off to college and create their own families, couples may be at a loss as to what to "do" next together.
A long-term marriage that survives decades is an ever-evolving relationship with a true life of its own. Together, the couple needs to invest time and energy into their coupledom -- not just their individual lives. The key is to discover new common goals for the future, whether they be traveling or new hobbies.
The main goal is to have many "marriages" -- each different, each needing work, but each of them in the arms of the same person. The time and effort required to sustain a long and connected marriage is well worth it. It is imperative to reflect back on why you first fell in love with your partner; those early connections don't ever need to go away.
We just need to remember them more often.
Definitely exciting articles. I enjoyed reading through it.
You have given nice description related to how to update sites
I have been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all site owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.
I ought to say that this publish could be the most relevant article I've ever go through and saw. It is an excellent help to everybody who is looking for this info.
Thanks for this great website. I am trying to read some more posts but I cant get your website to display properly in my Opera Browser. Thanks again.
I like the site layout ! How was it made? It is very good!
I really appreciate this post. I have been looking all over for this! Thank goodness I found it on Bing. You've made my day! Thank you again
very nice publish, i definitely love this website, carry on it
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complex and extremely broad for me. I'm looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
Wow, I have a weblog too but I can't write too as you do. Good stuff.
See, its good to finally see someone applying some reasonable logic to this. Thanks.
Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your content seem to be running off the screen in Opera. I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon. Thanks
Generally I don't read post on blogs, but I would like to say that this write-up very forced me to take a look at and do so! Your writing taste has been amazed me. Thank you, very nice post.
Thanks for some good points there. I am kind of new to web surfing, so I printed this off to put in my file, any better way to go about keeping track of it then printing?
My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using WordPress on numerous websites for about a year and am concerned about switching to another platform. I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
Thats some quality basics there, already know some of that, but you can always learn . I doubt a âkidâ could put together such information as dolphin278 suggested. Maybe heâs just trying to be âcontroversial? lol

Director Bryan Singer tried to bring him back to the big screen. For the most part, he failed miserably. Now Superman is getting another shot, and Director Zack Snyder has taken a very different approach to one of the world's most well-known comic-book characters.
In Man of Steel, Superman's origin story is retold. But this time around, we get a much more detailed look at the world he is from. We also get to know his father Jor-El, played by Russell Crowe, much better than ever before. The film starts out with the birth of Kal-El, which we soon find out is the first natural Kryptonian birth in ages, as natural birth is considered illegal on Krypton. Apparently, the race had been engineering embryos to fulfill specific societal needs. Jor-El (Russell Crowe) doesn't believe in this and wants his son to have free will.
Meantime, General Zod, a patriot who is struggling to ensure his people's survival - makes a traitorous move for what he considers the greater good. This directly links to Kal-El since he possesses the key to a rebirth of Krypton elsewhere in the universe.
On top of this, Jor-El also knows that their planet's core is about to collapse on itself. This is where the Superman origin we are all familiar with comes into play, as Kal-El's parents decide the best chance for his survival is to send their new son to Earth.
The film spends at least the first half-hour on Krypton, showing us the alien wildlife, futuristic buildings and air ships that make up the world. Crowe's Jor-El is also surprisingly a much bigger character than he's ever been on film before. He takes up at least 45 minutes of the film and becomes a key character when the action intensifies at the end of the film.
As far as Henry Cavill's Superman is concerned, he comes off fine in the role. At his core, Kal-El is a man who strives to be a good person. He is an alien who refuses to give up his search for home and his battle for peace. There's a particular scene at the end where we truly see the anguish Kal-El goes through for the greater good. He makes a sacrifice that goes against the character and it shows painfully. Cavill also comes off as a very intense and serious Superman. There were concerns going in that the character could have come off dark and brooding considering Nolan's hand in the film. And while the goofy side of Clark Kent isn't apparent yet, the movie perfectly sets up the possibility for more humor in sequels.
Another big role that seemed to work out perfectly in the film was the casting of Michael Shannon as General Zod. Portrayed by Terrance Stamp in the first two Superman films, Shannon brings some much-needed empathy to the character. While in Superman II Zod is portrayed as simply evil, with only hunger for power, the Zod from Man of Steel, as stated earlier, is a patriot. He loves his planet and his people and tracks down Kal-El hoping to save his people. However, creating a new race of Kryptonians on Earth would mean the people already inhabiting the planet would have to be wiped out. Kal-El/Superman will have none of that.
If there were concerns about a lack of action after Singer's Superman Returns, fear not. This movie is full-throttle. At a run time of more than two-and-a-half hours, this movie certainly does not drag. Snyder brings the action hard, and it rarely lets up. That said, there are some moments where the CG effects seem to weigh down what we are actually seeing. Still for the most part, the special effects work well and don't become too distracting.
One other aspect of the movie that felt a little off was the amount of collateral damage. When Superman and General Zod really go after one another, they essentially annihilate Metropolis. The two throw each other through countless buildings, sending structures crashing to the ground with no thought of those inside. Streets are devoured in flames, vehicles hurled through the air. Now for a character well-known for being strongly against killing anyone else, being this careless during a fight seems a little ridiculous. Then on the other hand, this is a movie based on a comic-book character, so finding a middle ground can be understandably difficult.
Overall, if a summer blockbuster is what you were hoping for in Man of Steel, you will not be let down. The movie is long but it does not feel it. It is rated PG-13, so moms and dads worried about taking your child to something too intense should probably check the movie out for yourself before bringing your young ones to see it.

Louisiana State Police are investigating a one-vehicle crash that seriously injured a Mansfield woman Thursday on Hwy. 175 just south of Hwy. 3015 in DeSoto Parish.
Troopers say that their preliminary investigation reveals that a Toyota Camry driven by Krystle Hall, 30, was traveling south when Hall's car missed a left-hand curve, left the highway and overturned.
Hall, who was not wearing her seatbelt, was ejected from her car. Troopers say she suffered life-threatening injuries from the crash and was taken to a hospital.
"Impairment is a suspected factor in this crash," State Police spokesman Trooper Matt Harris says. A toxicology sample was taken for analysis.
The crash remains under investigation.

SAN FRANCISCO - NOVEMBER 12: San Francisco mayor and California Lt. Governor-elect Gavin Newsom speaks to reporters after meeting school children at Fairmount Elementary School on November 12, 2010 in San Francisco, California. San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom announced today that he vetoed a controversial legislation that was approved by the San Francisco board of supervisors that would ban toys in fast food "happy meals." He promoted his "Shape Up SF" program as a more effective way to combat childhood obesity by encouraging children to eat better, exercise and for schools to offer healthy food choices that include fresh vegetables. (Photo by Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)
Jerry Brown is on his very first trip out of state since taking over the job as Governor of California.
That means Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom is technically and constitutionally in charge of the state.
Brown is only out of town for the day. He's in Las Vegas for a clean energy conference.
As for Newsom: he spent his day in his San Francisco office.
"The Lieutenant Governor takes his constitutional duties seriously and is prepared to work closely with Governor Brown to ensure consistent operations," read a statement issued by the Lt. Governor's office.
Several bloggers, including our own Kevin Riggs on Prop Zero, have pointed out that Brown did a lot more traveling during his first stint as governor. They also noted that then Lt. Gov. Mike Curb tended to get himself into a bit of political trouble while in charge. Curb, a Republican, apparently took advantage of his power and made questionable executive actions, including appointing a judge.
Newsom is supposed to stick to task and keep quiet on his days at the helm.
"If you're expecting a Mike Curb moment, prepare to be profoundly disappointed," Francisco Castillo, Deputy Chief of Staff for Communications for the Lt. Gov said.

Keep shoes for Japan! »
I got this in an email from Keep today. Pretty cool! "A portion from every sale of our Japanese Thatch collection will be donated to Japanese Disaster Relief efforts." There's no more info on their site about it, at least none I can find, so I don't know the percentage they're donating or anything but every little bit helps! Plus VEGAN SNEAKERS HOLLER AT ME.
Now if only they had some kind of Haitian thatch shoe! Of course you don't need to buy vegan shoes to donate money to Haiti, or Japan for that matter, but it would definitely be a bonus! Vegan shoes make everything better. It's nature's way!

Verizon is sending out an over-the-air software update to Galaxy S5 owners that brings in a number of improvements. Though, before you get too excited, most of these changes skew towards the minor side of things. Verizon's Caller Name ID, Message+, and Cloud apps have all been updated. Likewise, some of Samsung's apps and accessories have seen attention as well. Web Search has been added to S Finder, and Visual Voicemail now works when the S-View flip cover is closed.
Update: Trademark issues with the name caused the game to be pulled a while back, but now it's available again as "Super Crossfighter." Same game, new name and listing. Radiangames is also discounting its catalog to celebrate, so check that out. The original post below should still be accurate other than the name.
Video games make a lot of assumptions about aliens, mainly that they're going to be two-dimensional and prone to shooting at stuff.
The rumors have been percolating up through the internet for months that Sprint (and parent company SoftBank) was nearing a deal to buy controlling interest in T-Mobile US, but a French company you've probably never heard of just threw a monkey wrench in the works. Iliad has offered $15 billion in cash for 56.6% of T-Mobile.
There's a bitter divide in the world of Android hardware: those who love expandable storage and those who don't. (There are a few who are indifferent and level-headed, but they never seem to speak up in the comments section.) If you fall into the former category, head over to Amazon's Gold Box one-day deal page. They're selling Transcend brand MicroSD cards for dirt cheap.
You can pick up a 32GB MicroSD card for $13.99, more than $20 off of Amazon's regular price.
I'm so glad the fervor surrounding the World Cup has died down, and now we can get ready for some real football. And by "real football," I mean American Football played by orcs, dwarves, elves, and other things that are probably more comfortable in a Tolkien tome. Blood Bowl is an Android port of a PC game based on a series of pen-and-paper RPGs, themselves based on the Warhammer universe. The computer game presents itself as a sports title, but its mechanics are more like a turn-based strategy RPG.
In case you've forgotten that Microsoft knows how to have fun (and I can understand why you would), there's a certain game console it produces that has sold millions (hint, its name is plastered across the top of this game's icon). Now the company is sharing more of its light-hearted side with Android users. Its latest release is a port of a Windows word-building game that goes by the name of Snap Attack.
The Oculus Rift has been in development for a few years with development kits available to those who wanted to experience the future of motion sickness, but now the second iteration of the development hardware is out. Naturally, iFixit got one to tear apart. What they found is solid evidence of the collaboration between Oculus and Samsung. The screen in the Oculus Rift DK2 is literally the whole front panel of a Galaxy Note 3.
The CyanDelta Updater app now has support for Paranoid Android, so users of that ROM can join the likes of their CyanogenMod or OmniROM running peers in avoiding that beefy ROM update each night. Keeping up with the nightly Joneses typically requires downloading a sizable update daily, but CyanDelta addresses this situation by only pulling down delta files, which contain just the part of each update that has actually changed. The premise is simple: why download an entire ROM each day if you can simply get what's new?
The Pushbullet folks have pushed out an update not to the Android app, but to the Chrome extension, that expedites the whole file pushing process. Now when the need arrives to push a file to all of the devices under your account, instead of sending them off one at a time, the extension will let you target all the things. This is functionality that the Android app and the Pushbullet website already have, so consider this more of a step towards feature parity across the board.

Icebridge : Scientists Map Thinning Ice Sheets in Antarctica
Climate change has weakened the ice sheets of western Antarctica. Scientists from Lamont-Doherty are flying over the region on a NASA-led mission called Ice Bridge to understand what's happening on and below the ice. What they find may help predict future sea level rise.
Expanding Our Vision Brings the Big Picture Into Focus
At our higher elevation we will fly faster and can cover a lot of ground. The landscape of Antarctica can be hard to get ones head around – a glacier catchment is usually too big to fit into one field of view, so we see it bit by bit, and try to build up a physical picture in the same way we build up our understanding of the system – piece by piece. We have flown several missions into the Amundsen Sea region on the west Antarctic coast in the past, but this was the first time where we could really see the context of all of these different glaciers – flowing into the same embayment, forming ice shelves, calving ice bergs, and drifting northwards through the sea ice.
The flight offers views of some of the most noteworthy features in Antarctica. Pine Island Glacier, one of world's fastest streaming glaciers, developed an 18 mile crack along its face in the fall of 2011 which spread further over the last few months. The crack will inevitably lead to breakage, dropping an iceberg which scientists have estimated will be close to 300 pound in size.
Bordering the glacier is one of two shield volcanoes we passed over during our flight. Pushing up through the Antarctic white mask, Mount Murphy diverts the ice streaming along the glacier. A steeply sloped massive 8 million year old peak, Mount Murphy pulls my thoughts back New York as it was named for an Antarctic bird expert from the American Museum of Natural History.
From Mount Murphy we continue to the second shield volcano, Mount Takahe. Ash from 7900 years ago found in an ice core from the neighboring Siple Dome has been attributed to an eruption from this volcano. This massive potentially active volcano is about 780 cubic kms in size. The volcano was named by a science team participating in the International Geophysical Year (1957-8) after the nickname of the plane providing their air support …an unusual name for a plane as its origin is that of a plump indigenous Māori bird from New Zealand which happens to be flightless! Regardless the rather round Mount Takahe soars high above the glacier as we move overtop.
From there we fly over the tongue of Thwaites Glacier as it calves icebergs into the Amundsen Sea. To read more about Thwaites check out my first blog of the season: http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2012/10/18/launching-the-season-with-a-key-mission-icebridge-antarctica-2012/

The Story at Ronne
The current mission is being flown to measure the flux of ice currently coming into the Ronne Ice Shelf from the surrounding Antarctic landmass. To determine this we focus on the 'grounding line', the area where the ice changes from being frozen solid to the land below to floating as part of the ice shelf. To understand how much ice is moving over the grounding line, we have to understand how much ice is at the grounding line, and to do this we have to fly along the grounding line (or slightly inshore of it).
In many areas of Antarctica, even knowing where the grounding line is takes a lot of work. Much of that work is done using satellite data through a process called "interferometry". This process compares the returning radar signal from different satellite passes to determine where the ice begins to move under the influence of the ocean tides. In this scale, ice that is responding to the rise and fall of the tides is floating ice, and from this we can mark the grounding line. While technique identifies the grounding line, it does not show how much ice is moving across it; to determine that we need to collect ice thickness measurements. For today's flight we moved just inland of the grounding line for about half of the Ronne Ice Shelf collecting ice thickness and other supporting data that will begin to fill in this important information.

The 'Skinny' on Antarctic Sea Ice
One of the trickier items in measuring sea ice is making the raw measurements of thicker and thinner ice. With only satellite measurements it is hard to get the true thickness of the ice, since the surface of the ice is often covered with snow that needs to be accounted for in our calculations. Using the snow radar on the IceBridge mission we can work out how much of what the satellite is measuring is actually snow.
The Bellinghausen Sea sits just to the west of the Antarctic peninsula and in the southern winter months is generally covered with sea ice. We have flown two Bellinghausen sea missions this season – one to map out to the furthest edges and another to looks at the gradient of sea ice change as you move away from the coast or shoreline. The second Bellinghausen mission was important because in running profiles in and out from the coast it allowed us to measure how ice thickness patterns vary with distance from the shore. We need to understand these patterns of ice thickness in the southern end of the planet, how they may be changing and what connection they have to the climate system.
There has been much less study done on southern sea ice than northern sea ice because we get very few opportunities to make the measurements we need. We have two high priority flights to the Weddell Sea (on the eastern side of the Antarctic peninsula), but so far it has not been possible to fly them because of the weather. Hopefully before the end of this season we will be able to fly both these flights and fill in more pieces in the sea ice story.

A Recovery Mission
Last year IceBridge had its first flights into East Antarctica when it flew some missions into the Recovery Glacier area. Recovery is a section of Antarctic ice that lies east of the peninsular arm of West Antarctica, tucked behind the Transantarctic Mountains, a dividing line that separates west from east. We know from Satellite data that Recovery and its tributaries have a deep reach, stretching well inland to capture ice and move it out into the Filchner Ice Shelf draining a large section of the East Antarctic ice sheet. But there is a lot we don't know about Recovery because the remoteness of the area has limited the number of surveys.
Several recent works have showed us that this area is important. Satellite measurements of the ice surface show small patches along the trunk of the glacier that are changing elevation more than their surroundings. These patches have been interpreted as lakes that lie under the ice sheet, coined the Recovery Subglacial Lakes. The lakes appear to drain and refill over time as the surface elevation over the lakes changes. To learn more about them and what they might tell us about the behavior of the glacier, we need to look under the ice.
But there is more we need to understand about this remote area, including simply needing to know the size and shape of the channel that delivers this ice out to the ice shelf and towards the Weddell Sea. Last year's mission gave us some data points to outline the channel, but this year will help us provide a more complete imaging of what lies below this East Antarctic ice conveyor belt.
We will fly cross sections along the lines of the retired ICESat satellite tracks, allowing us to compare the laser measurements we make of ice surface elevation to those made during the satellite mission. We will end the day flying along the Recovery channel to get another look at one of the interpreted lakes. Combining last years' data, ICESat data and this year's data will give us a better picture of the area that has been carved beneath the Recovery glacier, the amount of ice that can be moved through the glacier and its tributaries, and how the lakes under the ice might fit into the larger story.
Launching the Season with a Key Mission – IceBridge Antarctica 2012
October 2012 IceBridge Antarctica resumes … Mission goal…monitoring the polar regions…Mission target… determine changes in ice cover and thickness, refine models for future sea level rise…Mission instruments…airborne geophysics. Good luck team.
The crews have spent the last few weeks in Palmdale, where the DC8 is based, for instrument installation and test flights prior to our move down to Punta Arenas, our home base for IceBridge Antarctica.
Instrument Run Down: We are flying with the same instrument suite as last year allowing us to see above, below and through the ice. Laser altimetry, for surface ice measurements, measured by the NASA Airborne Topographic Mapper, visible band photography, to allow for draped imagery, from NASA's DMS (Digital Mapping System), three radar systems from Cresis to measure the ice thickness, composition and bed imagery (MCoRDS, Snow and KU band) and gravity to refine what is under the ice with Lamont using Sander Geophysics' AIRGrav gravimeter.
ATM and the gravimeter both require GPS base stations on the ground throughout the deployment. Combined with the GPS receivers on the plane these allow very precise positioning of the aircraft, and the sensors on board, which is critical to all the measurements we make. Setting up the GPS stations is one of the first jobs in Punta Arenas.
Our First Mission for 2012 is Thwaites Glacier – Going Straight to the Heart of the Changes. On our way out of Punta Arenas, out past the airport, I noticed this feature in the landscape:
It appears to be the paleo-shoreline from the last interglacial (~80,000 yr BP), when sea level was higher than present. The very flat terrain results in any sea level change causing a large shoreline retreat. Evidence like this of changing shorelines, is one method scientists use to determine past sea level under a different climate. As we study different areas around the world, we must account for the local changes in how the land has risen or fallen. Changes in sea level can be a combination of an adjusted world/ocean wide (eustatic) sea level and the more local response from the rebounding (isostatic ) of the land that was previously depressed under a glacier as local ice is unloaded during deglaciation. Here the history of the shoreline was governed by a combination of changes in eustatic sea level and the isostatic response to deglaciation of the local ice load (De Muro et al. 2012). Putting together information from around the world we eventually build up a picture of the global changes that have occurred in sea level. Changes in sea level are directly connected to our work monitoring polar ice.
When we fly over the ice, we are monitoring how the ice sheets are changing at present, and learning how to understand the complicated interactions between the atmosphere, the ocean and the ice. Studying this helps us to understand which ice bodies are most likely to contribute to sea level, how quickly they changed in the past, and how quickly they might change in the future. It's good to get this reminder as we head out on our first flight – especially as it is to survey the area where the glacier switches from being frozen to the land below [the bed] to where it goes afloat, called the 'grounding line'.
Our first flight of the season will be along the Thwaites Glacier. Thwaites and Pine Island Glacier are two 'glaciers of interest', both large outlet glaciers that serve as conduits out of the ice mass of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS), moving ice off the land into the surrounding ocean, and long considered its Achilles heel. Thwaites glacier has a very wide region of fast ice flow over its grounding line, and a relatively small change in that width has the potential to greatly increase the flux of ice into the ocean. Through the radar and gravity measurements collected on previous IceBridge missions we have been able to get a sense of the bed shape tipping downward as you move inland from the ice edge, and where pockets of water lie under the icesheet. Our goal today is to collect enough data to develop a more complete image of what lies under the ice in this area.
2009 Operation IceBridge surveyed a grid in front of Thwaites grounding line and identified a ridge in the rock of the sea floor. In the last few months a large section of Thwaites glacial tongue broke off just seaward of that ridge. This mission will fly back and forth along nine lines parallel to the grounding line of Thwaites glacier. In combination with flights from previous years, this will give us a map of the grounding zone at 2.5 km spacing.
We are hoping to learn more about goes on underneath this icy reach of the Earth each time we take flight.

Fayette County Public Schools were closed Friday, January 25, and Friday, February 1, 2013, due to inclement weather conditions.
To make up the missed instructional time, the district will use the first two weather make-up days that were built into the 2012-2013 calendar.
Students in the Fayette County Public Schools will now have school on February 8, and May 21, 2013.
The original FCPS academic calendar called for students to be off those days, but designated them as "possible weather make-up days."
Students and staff are now expected to be in school on February 8 and May 21, 2013.
The change does not affect the last day of school, which is still scheduled to be May 24, 2013.
If needed, other possible weather make-up days built into the school calendar include May 28-31, June 3-7 and June 10-14.
High school graduation dates will not be set until after the threat of bad weather has passed and all make-up days have been set.

Antibiotics: The Road to Allergies and Asthma?
The rates of allergies and asthma have skyrocketed in the past 40 years, for reasons that have been frustratingly unclear. Now it turns out that the rise of another phenomenon—the use of antibiotics—may hold a clue. A study from the University of Michigan Medical School has found that antibiotics seem to prime the immune system to overreact to substances it could just as well ignore.
When the Michigan team gave mice a five-day course of antibiotics, the animals showed the same effect seen in humans: an upset in the balance of yeast and other microbes in the gut. The researchers then exposed the mice to several common allergens. The mice given antibiotics were hypersensitive to them, while the other mice had a normal immune response.
While we tend to think of allergies and asthma as involving mainly the respiratory system, this research suggests the microbes in the gut play a role, too.
The results support part of the "hygiene hypothesis," which holds that modern societies are too sanitary—when you're not exposed to very many bugs, your immune system has a hard time telling the difference between a harmless substance (like pollen) and a dangerous toxin, so it's likely to overreact.
And the findings provide yet another reason to encourage the growth of "good" bacteria in our bellies. To do that, Gary Huffnagle, who worked on the study, recommends a diet rich in fiber and active-cultured yogurt and low in refined carbs and sugar. "It's a good idea to do this even when you're not taking antibiotics," he says. And if you do need to take the drugs, he advises taking probiotics afterward. Your nose, as well as your stomach, will thank you.

FISHERS, Ind. (WISH) — Reorganize or stay the same? That's the question residents in Fishers will see on their November ballot.
Town leaders are trying to explain what each choice means for residents in a series of town hall meetings.
The Future of Fishers meetings explain the two questions on the November ballot, the three options for Fishers' future form of government and the main differences between the three.
The first ballot question will ask, "Shall the town of Fishers and Fall Creek Township reorganize as a single political subdivision?"
The second question says, "Shall the town of Fishers change into a city?"
On Tuesday, the town hosted the second of six meetings to inform residents.
Claudia Dille, who moved to Fishers three years ago because of the low tax rate, says she was confused but left Tuesday's meeting with a better understanding.
"I didn't really know anything about any of these issues," Dille said. "That is why I came to find out more."
The first option is to stay a town. That would require residents to vote no on question one and two said Town Manager Scott Fadness.
"The second option is to eliminate Fall Creek Township and merge into a reorganized city. To do that, you are going to vote yes on question one and no on two," Fadness said.
And the final option lets voters choose if they want a city council and mayor like their neighbors in Carmel and Noblesville.
If so, "you are going to vote no on question one and yes on two," Fadness said.
Supporters say reorganizing could save the city $1 million yearly by merging the town and township.
Opponents disagree and fear reorganization could raise taxes on residents.
Nevertheless, Dille likes the idea of shaping the town's future.
"Right now I live in an area that is still surrounded by cornfields, so it's not totally developed yet," Dille said. "But it is still exciting to watch and have a little bit of a say in it."
The meetings happen at Fishers Town Hall Auditorium located at 1 Municipal Drive in the Fishers Municipal Complex. The other four meetings will be held on:

A Target for the bears
The retailer's growth is slowing and management is missing the mark.
Retailers across all sectors are finding it increasingly difficult to get customers to come in their stores. When customers do arrive, there is also the challenge of getting them to spend money.
Unfortunately, Target (TGT) has fallen short in both categories.
Although rival Wal-Mart (WMT) has faced similar challenges, Wal-Mart has figured out ways to offset weakening sales and softer comps (TheStreet). Making matters worse, Target's management has issued meager guidance, which has resulted in several analyst downgrades.
At this point, Target investors are unsure of what to make of the stock. Management has not been able to quickly respond. But unless management figures out where Target's next leg of growth is going to come from, this stock may become target practice for the bears.
Target has always proven to be an extraordinarily smart company by the way it has been able to appeal to both the frugal shopper and those with an appetite for the "upscale high-end" category. This model has benefited the company, while enabling it to maintain its strategy of offering great products at discounted prices.
It seems, however, that this advantage is now slowly evaporating. There wasn't much to like in the company's recent earnings report: Sales were up half of 1% to $16.6 billion. As with other large retail chains, such as Lowe's (LOW), which recently reported flat sales and weak comps, Target attributed the weaker sales (in part) to adverse weather.
Interestingly, rival Home Depot (HD), which posted 7% increase in sales to go along with a 4.3% growth in comps, reported no such concerns. While I do believe that weather can have an adverse impact of retail traffic, the relative performances of peers makes this reason hard to grasp.
Comps, or same-store-sales, is the metric that tracks the sales performance of stores that have been opened at least one year. Target posted a 60-basis-point decline in that category. It's not a great number. But I'm willing to give management credit here for outperforming Wal-Mart, which posted 1.4% decline.
Profitability was somewhat mixed at Target despite the 7.5% decline in operating income. Gross margins advanced by 50 basis points to 30.7%, while adjustments to vendor agreements contributed (in part) to a 20 basis-point improvement of that total.
Adjusted earnings per share looked worse than it really was -- falling 5% to $1.05 per share, which was below the company's target. But one-time items such as an early debt retirement absorbed 41 cents per share during the quarter.
The company's CEO Gregg Steinhafel was pleased with the performance. He said:
"Target's first-quarter earnings were below expectations as a result of softer-than-expected sales, particularly in apparel and other seasonable and weather-sensitive categories. While we are disappointing in our first-quarter performance, we remain confident in our strategy, and we continue to invest in initiatives, including Canada, our digital channels and CityTarget, that will drive Target's long-term growth."
Those were certainly encouraging words, but management still cut Target's full-year fiscal 2013 outlook. The company is now projecting earnings between $4.70 and $4.90 per share, down from its prior EPS guidance of $4.85 to $5.05. Management does not seem confident that comps will get back up at any point this year.
Analysts responded by issuing "sell" recommendations on the stock. But I wouldn't overreact here just yet. As with the struggles that are affecting Lowe's, I still see long-term success here for Target especially given the fact that we're still in an economic climate that has yet to fully recover. The fact that management has margins trending in the right direction is also a positive sign.
That said, management's main challenge is, among many, is to figure out ways to restore growth and position the company to compete for effectively not only against Wal-Mart, but also against the likes of Costco (COST) and Kohl's (KSS).
I believe shares of Target are fairly priced today. That's not to be interpreted as a bad thing. But to the extent that Canadian store expansion and the company's CityTarget initiative can post "decent" growth numbers while also expanding margins, I believe patient investors will be rewarded.
That's a tall task. Investors should not expect these improvements to happen overnight. But I believe the company has the management in place to do it.

Gralsburg castle is situated on Monsalvat mountain. The knights of Gralsburg protect the sacred Grail, which the former Gralsburg knight Klingsor wants to make his own. The Grail has long since lost its magic powers. Its protector, the chief Gralsburg knight Amfortas, has forfeited his knowledge of the way of life as a result of his passion for the attractive lady Kundry. And Klingsor's spear has given him a wound that does not heal. Only a pure simpleton enlightened by compassion is capable of redeeming Amfortas and revitalizing the power of the grail to assist innocently beset people throughout the world. Parsifal succeeds in doing this after he becomes enlightened by compassion due to the knowledge of the way of life after an encounter with the enticing Kundry. Hope once again enters the world.

Voters file fewer claims, Safeco says
If that's the case, should voting history be used as a factor for setting insurance rates? Some say no.
This post comes from Des Toups at partner site CarInsurance.com.
Here's a development that could put a whole new spin on Decision 2016.
Safeco Insurance of America last week was assigned a patent for using voter registration and voting history as a means of determining risk -- and thus your insurance rates.
"Generally, an increase in voting frequency, such as an instance of recent voting, correlates with a decrease in risk of insurance loss," the patent application states. "Analysis of existing policyholder data has indicated a significant correlation between a person having voted at all and a lower likelihood that the person will claim a loss. Furthermore, a person who has voted within the last 12 months has an even lower likelihood that the person will claim a loss."
The patent filing suggests Safeco could use such a system to screen potential customers, to target recent voters for better rates or to reward agents who sell policies to registered voters. It also offers some potential metrics for identifying those least likely to file a claim, including:
- Voter registration.
- Recent voting.
- Voting frequency.
- Type of election (general, primary, special).
- Turnout for the election.
- Voting method (early in person, Election Day in person, absentee).
A master voter file is a publicly available document. San Francisco County's file, for example, is available to anyone with an ID and 75 cents. While the files do not reveal how your ballots were cast, they typically offer a history that can include your registration date, declared party, precinct, the elections you participated in and whether you voted early or by mail.
Safeco did not reveal any plans to base underwriting decisions on what the document calls a "voting status generator."
Who drives better: Democrats or Republicans?
All insurance companies use broad brushes to lump drivers and homeowners into groups. You are very likely paying rates based largely on your ZIP code, gender and age. Discounts or surcharges based on data specific to you -- such as your own driving record or credit history -- are applied on top of those base rates.
A new way to measure risk "could open up a can of worms," muses Penny Gusner, a consumer analyst for CarInsurance.com. "Some very safe drivers don't vote, and some religions forbid it. What if registered Republicans have many fewer accidents than Democrats do?"
Yet many companies already use the same kind of risk management to mete out car insurance discounts to particular professions or the military, and to married people and homeowners.
Insurance regulators in each state must approve the factors companies can use to calculate rates. California, Hawaii and Massachusetts forbid use of credit information, for example.
Robert Hunter, a spokesman for the Consumer Federation of America, worries that voting records may act as a proxy for information that insurers are prohibited from using to calculate rates, such as income and race.
Census Bureau data show (.pdf file) that women typically vote at higher rates than men do, older more than young, government workers more than the private sector, rich more than poor and white more than minorities.
Hunter's organization would prefer that insurers stick with rates based on your driving record, using insurance prices to reward safe driving behavior.

The wine is a vibrant deep purple in color with intense aromas of blackcurrant, violets, dark berries and a hint of chocolate on the nose. Aromas promised on the nose are delivered in a rich, concentrated and well-balanced full-bodied palate. A backbone of sweet oak and long velvety tannins complete the structure and the wine finishes with a silky mouthfeel and excellent length.
"So I'm a sucker for Clare. It's not just how cool and absolutely balanced this wine feels, with nothing heavy or hot as it melts over you, a shower of flavors and deep, refreshing fruit. The wine puts on its performance, fragrant, fresh, saturated with fruit, then it just stands there, lifted and gleaming, center stage, as if to finish by taunting 'I'm in Clare, and you're not.' And as that pure, bright flavor slowly recedes, the only way to get it back is to take another sip, and gain the pleasure of Clare all over again.

Distance Learning
UCL's E-Learning Environments provide distance learning course teams and individuals with support and advice to plan, develop or review your distance learning courses. While this may feel like a whole new area to many there are many reasons to think beyond the traditional boundaries for a course to go 'distance'. There are many parallels between traditional face to face education, moving online with e- and blended learning and being fully-online with a distance course.
If you're interested in developing a distance learning course, want to know more or become a part of the UCL community with others in this area, then this space will help you get started.
Benefits of a distance education
- Flexible
- Based on your location
- Fits in with your life
- Bring industry experience directly into daily learning
- Career or life-changing experience
But the concept of learners studying a course via 'distance learning' can conjure thoughts of remote people disconnected from the university's campus life. But it shouldn't be this way.
Distance learning guidance
To get you started we have developed a space within the wiki which covers four primary areas for distance learning:
- Introduction to distance learning at UCL
- Planning
- Development
- Review
As it's a wiki, it will evolve over time. Instead of holding back to 'publish' in the traditional sense, we made it available so you can get started already:

Support and advice
If you're planning on developing a course, want to learn more or have been running a distance learning course for years then E-Learning Environments would welcome the chance to talk with you. A post in the E-Learning Advisory sub-team entitled Distance Learning Facilitator is here to support your courses in all aspects of planning, development and review.
