VIDEO: PBS/AOL Feature Amy Goodman as Part of "Makers: Women Who Make America Series"
Amy Goodman sits down with AOL/PBS filmmakers to talk about her longtime career in journalism, building Democracy Now! over the past 17 years, and how independent media is essential to the functioning of a democratic society.
Historic Tar-Sands Action at Obama's Door
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
For the first time in its 120-year history, the Sierra Club engaged in civil disobedience, the day after President Barack Obama gave his 2013 State of the Union address. The group joined scores of others protesting the proposed Keystone XL pipeline, which awaits a permitting decision from the Obama administration. The president made significant pledges to address the growing threat of climate change in his speech.
Brennan and Kiriakou, Drones and Torture
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
John Brennan and John Kiriakou worked together years ago, but their careers have dramatically diverged. Brennan is now on track to head the CIA, while Kiriakou is headed off to prison. Each of their fates is tied to the so-called war on terror, which under President George W. Bush provoked worldwide condemnation. President Barack Obama rebranded the war on terror innocuously as "overseas contingency operations," but, rather than retrench from the odious practices of his predecessor, Obama instead escalated.
Rosa Parks, Now and Forever
By Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan
On Dec. 1, 1955, Rosa Parks famously refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white passenger in Montgomery, Ala., thus launching the modern-day civil-rights movement. Monday, Feb. 4, is the 100th anniversary of her birth. After she died at the age of 92 in 2005, much of the media described her as a tired seamstress, no troublemaker. But the media got it wrong. Rosa Parks was a first-class troublemaker.
Obama's Dirty Wars Exposed at Sundance
By Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan
The increasing pace of U.S. drone strikes, and the Obama administration's reliance on shadowy special forces to conduct military raids beyond the reach of oversight and accountability, were summarily missed over the inaugural weekend by a U.S. press corps obsessed with first lady Michelle Obama's new bangs. At the annual Sundance Film Festival the world premiere of "Dirty Wars: The World Is a Battlefield" reaffirms the critical role played by independent journalists like the film's director, Rick Rowley, and its narrator and central figure, Jeremy Scahill. "Dirty Wars," along with Scahill's forthcoming book of the same title, is on target to break that silence ... with a bang that matters.
Aaron Swartz and the Freedom to Connect
Aaron Swartz wanted nothing more than to change the world. He was doing just that until he ended his own life, at the age of 26, on Jan. 11.
VIDEO: Amy Goodman on MSNBC's Up with Chris Hayes: John Brennan's CIA Nomination, Drones and Torture
Democracy Now!'s award-winning host Amy Goodman appeared on MSNBC's "Up with Chris Hayes" Sunday to discuss the Obama administration's use of drones, John Brennan's nomination to lead the CIA, and the irony in Republicans' attacks against Obama's "diversity problem."

John Brennan, Sami Al-Hajj and the Blight of Guantánamo
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
It takes courage to enter a war zone willingly, armed with a microphone and a camera as a journalist. That is what Al Jazeera cameraman Sami al-Hajj was doing in Dec. 2001, as he was entering Afghanistan from Pakistan to cover the U.S. military operations there. While his colleague was allowed in, al-Hajj was arrested, in what was to be a harrowing, nightmarish odyssey that lasted close to seven years, most of it spent as prisoner 345, the only journalist imprisoned at Guantánamo Bay — without charge.
Obama's New Year's Resolution: Protect the Status Quo
By Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan
Amidst the White House and congressional theatrics surrounding the so-called fiscal-cliff negotiations, a number of bills were signed into law by President Barack Obama that renew some of the worst excesses of the Bush years.
Pull the Global Trigger on Gun Control
By Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan
Standing stalwartly against any regulation of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, the National Rifle Association continues to block any gun-control laws whatsoever, and even trumpets its efforts to block the global Arms Trade Treaty, slated for negotiations at the United Nations this March.
Lessons from New Town, AUS for Newtown, USA: Will New Thinking Lead to New Laws?
By Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan
The initial shock of the latest semiautomatic weapon-fueled massacre has passed, but the grief only grows. Since President Barack Obama took office, there have been at least 16 major mass shootings, after which he has offered somber words of condolence and called for national healing. But what is really needed is gun control, serious gun control – as was swiftly implemented in Australia in 1996, after another gunman went on a senseless shooting spree.
VIDEO: Watch Amy Goodman on MSNBC on Gun Control and Mental Illness
Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman spoke Saturday on Up With Chris Hayes about the role played by mental illness in attacks like the mass shooting Friday in Newtown, Connecticut and what society might endeavor to do differently to avoid these types of horrific attacks in the future.

The Trials of Bradley Manning
By Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan
Pfc. Bradley Manning was finally allowed to speak publicly, in his own defense, in a preliminary hearing of his court-martial.
A Carbon Tsunami in Doha
By Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan
The 18th U.N. climate-change summit is taking place in the small but immensely wealthy Gulf emirate of Qatar, the largest per capita emitter of greenhouse gases in the world.
Sunday: Watch Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan Discuss "The Silenced Majority" at 3pm ET on CSPAN2
Watch Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman and co-author Denis Moynihan Sunday at 3pm ET on C-SPAN2 BOOK TV when they discuss their new book, The Silenced Majority:Stories of Uprisings, Occupations, Resistance, and Hope.
Our Climate Future and the Doha Summit
By Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan
The annual United Nations climate summit has convened, this year in Doha, the capital of the oil-rich emirate of Qatar, on the Arabian Peninsula. Dubbed "COP 18," an army of bureaucrats, business people and environmentalists are gathered ostensibly to limit global greenhouse-gas emissions to a level that scientists say will contain the global temperature rise to 2 degrees Celsius (3.8 degrees Fahrenheit), and perhaps stave off global climate catastrophe. If past meetings are any indication, national self-interest on the part of the world's largest polluters, paramount among them the United States, will trump global consensus.
In Gaza: "It's the Occupation, Stupid"
By Amy Goodman and Denis Moynihan
"The Palestinian people want to be free of the occupation," award-winning Israeli journalist Gideon Levy summed up this week. It is that simple. This latest Israeli military assault on the people of Gaza is not an isolated event, but part of a 45-year occupation of the sliver of land wedged between Israel and the Mediterranean Sea, where 1.6 million people live under a brutal Israeli blockade that denies them most of the basic necessities of life. Without the unwavering bipartisan support of the United States for the Israeli military, the occupation of Palestine could not exist.
"The Growing Global Movement Against Austerity"
By Amy Goodman with Denis Moynihan
Amaia Engana didn't wait to be evicted from her home. On Nov. 9, in the town of Barakaldo, a suburb of Bilbao in Spain's Basque Country, officials from the local judiciary were on their way to serve her eviction papers. Amaia stood on a chair and threw herself out of her fifth-floor apartment window, dying instantly on impact on the sidewalk below. She was the second person in two weeks in Spain to commit suicide as a result of an impending foreclosure action. Her suicide has added gravity to this week's general strike radiating from the streets of Madrid across all of Europe. As resistance to so-called austerity in Europe becomes increasingly transnational and coordinated, President Barack Obama and the House Republicans begin their debate to avert the "fiscal cliff." The fight is over fair tax rates, budget priorities and whether we as a society will sustain the social safety net built during the past 80 years.

The 80th Academy Awards (2008)
Held at the Kodak Theatre at Hollywood & Highland Center on Sunday, February 24, 2008,
honoring movies released in 2007.
Best Actor Daniel Day-Lewis ("There Will Be Blood"), Best Actress Marion Cotillard ("La Vie en Rose"), Best Supporting Actress Tilda Swinton ("Michael Clayton") and Best Supporting Actor Javier Bardem ("No Country for Old Men").

The Year
- Best Picture: "No Country for Old Men"
- "No Country for Old Men" also won Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor (Javier Bardem), Directing (Joel Coen and Ethan Coen), and Writing – Adapted Screenplay (Joel Coen and Ethan Coen).
- A 100-day, industry-wide Writers Guild of America strike was resolved 12 days before the Academy Awards ceremony was scheduled to take place, allowing the show to proceed as planned.
- Jon Stewart was the host.
- For the first time since 1964, all of the acting winners were non-Americans. Great Britain's Daniel Day-Lewis won Best Actor for "There Will Be Blood" and Tilda Swinton was named Best Supporting Actress for "Michael Clayton." France's Marion Cotillard received Best Actress honors for "La Vie en Rose" and Spain's Javier Bardem won Best Supporting Actor for "No Country for Old Men." Marion Cotillard's victory made her only the third performer in a foreign language film to win one of the Academy's acting prizes, following Sophia Loren in 1961's "Two Women" and Roberto Benigni in 1998's "Life Is Beautiful."
- Joel and Ethan Coen won for their direction of "No Country for Old Men." It was only the second time in Oscar history that two individuals shared the directing honor (Robert Wise and Jerome Robbins were the first, winning for 1961's "West Side Story").
- On April 16, 2007, student Seung-Hui Cho shot to death 32 other students and faculty members on the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia, and then killed himself in the deadliest shooting rampage in U.S. history.
- In July 2007, the seventh and final Harry Potter novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, was released and sold 8.3 million copies in the U.S. alone within the first 24 hours.
- In April 2007, Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was indicted by the federal government in connection with a dog-fighting operation that was headquartered on property he owned in Surry County, Virginia. After Vick admitted his guilt in financing the operation and being complicit in the killings of several of the dogs, he was sentenced to 23 months in prison. The majority of the more than 50 dogs seized from Vick's kennel as evidence were rehabilitated and adopted.
- On August 1, 2007, the I-35W Mississippi River bridge in Minneapolis suddenly collapsed during evening rush hour, plunging dozens of cars and their occupants into the river.
- On August 7, 2007, Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants hit his 756th home run to take over the Major League Baseball record of most career home runs from Hank Aaron, who had held the record since 1974.
- In October 2007, comedian and actor Drew Carey became the host of "The Price Is Right," the longest-running daytime game show in television history. Carey replaced Bob Barker, who retired at the age of 83 after hosting the show for 35 years.
- In October 2007, track-and-field star Marion Jones surrendered the five medals she won at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, after admitting she had used performance-enhancing drugs.
- In November 2007, the Writers Guild of America strike began as last-minute negotiations between screenwriters and producers to avert a walkout failed. More than 12,000 movie and television writers represented by the Writers Guild of America, West and the Writers Guild of America, East began the first industry-wide strike since writers walked out in 1988.
Honorary Award
To Robert Boyle in recognition of one of cinema's great careers in art direction.

Who Profits from Proposition 65? (Part Two)
Proposition 65 is enforced by, among others, a small and little-known subculture of "private enforcers," and their attorneys who profit from settlements with businesses found to be in violation of the law. Critics call it a "cottage industry;" others say it's an efficient way to protect consumers from toxic chemicals.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I hope that ammo (relic like thingamadoodles) will be a LOT easier to get than Relics, Totems,etc as a Hunter needs the Ammo early on, far sooner than any other class, perhaps 1 base Ammo (Relic) per base buyable ammo, replacing specalty ammo such as the Timeless Shells with a Timeless Shell (Relic) for Rep ammo.
And an equivalent of what we are getting from engineers with Kirin Tor Rep.
A BIG Upside I see to this is more powerful ammo being attained like other classes get their relics, totems, etc in raids. Possibly an engineer BOP that they can make to encourage Hunter engineers, BOE wouldnt be feasable because the market would dry up as hunters got theirs, opposed to always having to buy more as they raid
also I hope that they find a fair way of preserving the speed bonus from a quiver, perhaps look at what level of quiver gave what speed bonus up to the 15% we are all used to, and make it a skill, and not a talent, that way we dont have to waste points to regain what we lost
the other HUGE Upside is it opens a bag slot, Hunters have always had to dedicate a slot to a quiver, if not for storage, but for the speed increase
I see a lot of potential for this change, but a lot of room for Blizzard to bend Hunters over and Donkey Punch us again
I'm sure that the current grades of ammo will still be around. It won't be a "relic" because they go in the ranged slot, which hunters will still be using for their bow/gun. They were just saying that some high level ammo might have similar effects to relics (such as improving a particular ability).

SEE ALSO: YSU Football report card
It costs between $25 and $40 to buy a pitchfork at Lowe's. A torch will run you between $5-$10, although you could easily make one with a stick, a rag, some gasoline and a match.
So, if you're planning to storm the Ice Castle and demand Eric Wolford's head, figure on at least $30. Also, the football offices are on the south end of Fifth Avenue, so park accordingly.
Your other option is to stay home and take to the Internet, filling the comments section of a Vindy.com story or a chat room. You could even write a good old fashioned letter to the editor.
Any of these options is better than what most people will do: nothing.
Because if Saturday's game against South Dakota State taught us anything, it's this: Most people in Youngstown just don't care.
And that's much scarier than any angry mob.
Youngstown State football has gone from Must-See to musty, with an increasingly older fan base longing for a return to the Tressel years while most people stay home and watch Ohio State crush the Big Ten's sacrificial lambs.
"What happens is you develop apathy in the community," said YSU radio analyst Chris Sammarone, who played in three straight I-AA national title games in the early 1990s. "If they go, they go. If they have something better to do, they'll go do it.
"When I was playing, it was on the calendar. It took precedence over Ohio State and anything else going on. The expectation was we would win and then how far in the playoffs were we going to go?"
This is not all Wolford's fault. It started under Jon Heacock. But when Wolford arrived in 2009, fresh out of a one-year stint in the big, bad SEC, he promised to change it. He promised to shake things up, to upgrade the talent, hold players more accountable, get back to winning championships.
Then he went 3-8. And over the next three years, his program's improvement couldn't keep up with his mouth. He set the high jump bar at 7 feet, then bragged about a 6-foot jump, then wondered why the fans (and the playoff committee) weren't impressed.
This year was supposed to be different — and for a while, it was. YSU started 8-1. The Penguins entered the final stretch needing just one win. ESPN's "College GameDay" was showing interest.
And then? Well, you know what happened next.
If you ask YSU's most passionate fans what they'd like to see happen, they'll say one of three things:
But here's the problem. Tressel is what I call a "two-comma coach," which means when you get to the salary page on his contract, you'd better have two commas. YSU can't even afford to buy out the last year of its one-comma coach, who is due $250,000.
So, if you want YSU to serve you his head, you're going to need to withdraw a little more than $30. Or, as one of the few remaining die-hards, you could just use that money to buy tickets for next year.
I hear good seats are still available.
Joe Scalzo covers YSU athletics for The Vindicator. Write to him at firstname.lastname@example.com or follow him on Twitter @JoeScalzo1.
Joe, Agreed! I don't think YSU has the funds to buy Wolford out so we're looking at one more year of heartache. But, then again, maybe he'll surprise us by losing his arrogance, building a defense that doesn't give up 12 yards on 3rd and 4, and go steaming deep into the playoffs. In the meantime, us old timers will have plenty of room to stretch out in the half empty stadium with our peanuts and popcorn! Happy Thanksgiving. Go 'Guins!!
Then look what happened, OSU got Tressel and became the powerhouse it is and people began to care again. On the other hand YSU hires lesser coaches than some local high schools have and never returns to greatness. Put a quality team on the field with a coach that can motivate and make them better each week and people will care again...
Looks like Scalzo is suffering from "buyers remorse".....seem to remember his "arrival of Wolford" columns heralding the "rebirth of the playoff culture" etc. Must be nice to be a sports writer.....
Winning cures all. It cures apathy and fills seats in a hurry. Does the current head coach or staff for that matter have the intelligence to win big games, not just the cream puffs?
This post is just stupid.
This is ignorant, rude, and misinformed.
You think he isn't doing his job because the team didn't win toward the end... how is the Vindicator selling? I know nobody in my neighborhood buys it anymore, so are you doing your job?
"Youngstown State football has gone from Must-See to musty, with an increasingly older fan base longing for a return to the Tressel years while most people stay home and watch Ohio State crush the Big Ten's sacrificial lambs."
--First off Joe, don't you think this started before Coach Wolford? They went to the playoffs one time under John Heacock in NINE years.
--Second, a lot of people became connected to Ohio State when Jim Tressel went.
--Thirdly, YSU has always had an older fan base due to the amount of commuters that go to YSU. It has never been a predominantly youthful fan base
Next up.... Is about your bashing of Wolford's expectations...
First, would you rather have a guy who doesn't say boo for nine years and goes to the playoffs once, or would you rather have a guy truly dedicated to turning it around and sometimes giving unrealistic expectations? I'd rather have the guy all fired up, that tells me he's passionate. That tells me, he's all in.
Second, you have to look at recruiting restrictions in Ohio opposed to teams like NDSU and SDSU. Anyone who is good in North Dakota, is going to NDSU, if they aren't good enough to go bigger. Same thing goes for SDSU. Also, NDSU pulls a ton of recruits from the twin cities (Minneapolis and St. Paul)... See MARCUS WILLIAMS. See... In Ohio, it's different.
Mac Schools
1. Kent
2. Akron
3. Bowling Green
4. Ohio U
5. Toledo
6. Miami
Other Schools
1. Ohio State
2. Cinci
3. Dayton
4. Mount Union (Biggest powerhouse in D3 in the country 40 minutes away)
5. Not to mention all the D2 schools one step down from the FCS level
The bottom line is this: THERE WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER JIM TRESSEL (not to mention this conference is way tougher than the one Tress coached in). You and the Youngstown Community have to realize this. Realize that Wolford has improved his record every single year under these recruiting circumstances. But, you will never write anything about this side of the equation, because it doesn't create controversy and isn't grounded in negativity.
"Realize that Wolford has improved his record every single year under these recruiting circumstances. " Yep, you're absolutely right, he has improved the record every year except for one thing or maybe 6. He still loses the same way, with a pitiful defense. He still mismanages his timeouts. He's still being outcoached several times during the season. He still allows this team to implode for 3 or 4 games every year. If you call that improvement, go for it. Sounds to me like a coach who hasn't learned anything in his first 4 years.
"Second, you have to look at recruiting restrictions in Ohio opposed to teams like NDSU and SDSU." Really??? The local boys he has recruited aren't very good at all and should have been recruited to the DII and III level of football. Hello, he recruits Florida, Cali and South Carolina primarily.
"--First off Joe, don't you think this started before Coach Wolford? They went to the playoffs one time under John Heacock in NINE years." Well, i think we can agree he'll finish off the fanbase for Heacock. Because his teams are no better than his predecessor.

I really enjoyded my stay in Brussels Hello hostel. Thank you! "
- 10 May 2014 Ines Finland
- " I do not recommend this hostel. Location is a bit far from the central station. It's 8 stops and you need to transfer once. I thought that it was quiet as it is a bit away from the center but it was not. It was really noisy till 3am and I couldn't sleep enough for 2nights. The place for breakfast is becoming the night club. Of course if you like having party you can stay but if not I do not recommend. The bed was too old and there was a deep hole on the mattress. The staff was not kind at all. "
- 01 May 2014 Anonymous South Korea
- " Thank you for having us, we had a wonderful time in Brussels. I think this hotel was a good choice - good value for money, I would recommend to everybody. However for those who do not prefer long walks might need to chose another hostel. Also the breakfast was good, but for Hungarians a bit strange that no cold meet/sausage/ham were served - but this is common there. "
- 24 Apr 2014 Anonymous Hungary
- " The toilettes were not always clean. But breakfast was ok and the kitchen was well equiped. "
- 11 Apr 2014 Priscila Argentina
- " Clean, comfortable. The location is nice, and personnel there are friendly. "
- 18 Jan 2014 Anonymous Taiwan
- " Can't say much, we had to check out early and go sleep on the airport since the room we were supposed to stay in (4 bed dorm) smelled like something died in it (unfortunately we didn't see who were the other 2 people in the room). Overall the place looks nice tho. "

An egg-frying video that went viral on YouTube has caused a mess in Death Valley National Park. The clip in question shows a staffer frying an egg using a skillet and the sun to demonstrate how hot it can get in the park.
A disclaimer with the video reads, "Be sure to drink plenty of water and avoid outdoor activity in extreme heat. And please don't try to fry eggs on the ground. It makes a mess, and it doesn't work."
Allegedly visitors didn't get the memo and have been frying eggs on the ground, leaving trails of egg shells and empty crates. The park issued a plea on its Facebook page to crack down on the egg frying frenzy: "An employee's posting of frying an egg in a pan in Death Valley was intended to demonstrate how hot it can get here … use a pan or tin foil and properly dispose of the contents … This is your national park; please put trash in the garbage or recycle bins provided and don't crack eggs on the sidewalks or the Salt Playa at Badwater."

Hypnosis can change the world.
Have you ever heard the phrase, "He/she is looking at the world through rose-colored glasses?" The reality that each of us inhabits is colored by the lens of our perception, through the subconscious mind. It causes our heart to beat, our lungs to breathe, and our body to regulate itself. Without it we could not function.
Much of our daily lives is filtered through this 'automatic' part of the mind; this is usually a good thing. If we did not have this filter and were always analyzing everything around us we would be constantly overwhelmed by sensory input, like developing infants are. That's why we analyze & recognize patterns and we automatically associate the present with experiences from our past. It could be difficult to function without this subconscious filter.
However, sometimes people get caught up in 'automatic' patterns that do not suit them any longer. Hypnosis allows an individual to access the subconscious mind and have control over these patterns, to alter them in ways that better suit them. This is the power of hypnosis. It allows you to master your own mind and become a 'master-mind.'
Hypnosis can help you to:
We train hypnotists and hypnotherapists, inform the public about hypnosis, and we promote the well-being of our members and our community. We've been doing it for over 25 years.
At the International Hypnosis Federation, we're changing the world one person at a time.
Hypnosis is a self-regulated profession and is not a healing art.

A Study Has Found: International scientists team up to clone mammoths
Coming soon to a zoo near you: Woolly mammoths!
A leading international expert in cloning will head up an experiment to recreate the extinct woolly mammoth.
A well-preserved thigh bone of a mammoth was discovered during a thaw in Siberia. Now scientists from South Korean and Russia will attempt to bring this beast back to Earth, according to physorg.com.
Cloning pioneer Hwang Woo-Suk of South Korea's Sooam Biotech Research Foundation will join Vasily Vasiliev, vice rector of North-Eastern Federal University of the Sakha Republic, in attempting to use stem cell technology to clone the animal.
Hwang is a controversial figure on the cloning scene after some of his research in cloning human stem cells was deemed fraudulent in 2006. However, he is famous for the world's first cloned dog, Snuppy, in 2005.
The mammoth cloning experiment will involve cells from an elephant, the closest living relative to the mammoth. The tricky part will be locating well-preserved tissue and undamaged genes within the remains.
"This will be a really tough job, but we believe it is possible because our institute is good at cloning animals," Hwang In-Sung said.
The woolly mammoth will join an impressive list of animals that have been cloned in South Korea including a cow, a cat, dogs, coyotes, a pig and a wolf.

In Tuesday's primary, it was two familiar faces who got the most votes in the 32nd Legislative District: Cindy Ryu and Ruth Kagi.
The 32nd District serves parts of Edmonds and all of Woodway, in addition to Shoreline and Lake Forest Park.
In Position 1, incumbent Democrat Ryu picked up 4,376 votes (66 percent) to Republican Randy Hayden's 2,252 (34 percent). Both will advance to the general election Nov. 6, however, since they were the only two on the ballot.
Democratic incumbent Kagi picked up 4,238 votes (64 percent) in the Position 2 race. As it stands now, she would face Republican Robert Reedy, who got 1,763 votes (27 percent), in the general election. The third member in the race was Republican Eric R. Alvey, who picked up 646 votes (10 percent).
(Updated figures will be released Wednesday at 5 p.m.)
Ryu (D-Shoreline), the first Korean-American woman elected to the Washington state Legislature, is aiming for her second term.
Kagi (D-Lake Forest Park) began her first term in 1999.
Who do you support in the general election?

ATLANTA, Dec. 9 (UPI) — People who engage in no leisure-time physical activity can produce important improvements in health with small increases in activity, U.S. health officials say.
A report, published in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, published Thursday, said some subgroups, such as adults with arthritis, have exceptionally high rates of no leisure-time physical activity.
"In 2009, adults with arthritis had a 53 percent higher prevalence of no leisure-time physical activity compared with adults without arthritis," the report said. "Rates of no leisure-time physical activity among adults with arthritis were significantly higher in every state and the District of Columbia compared with adults without arthritis. In addition, adults with arthritis accounted for 25 percent to 47 percent of all adults reporting no leisure-time physical activity."
To reduce the prevalence of no leisure-time physical activity among all adults, physical activity promotion initiatives should target adults with the use of evidence-based, arthritis-tailored interventions, health officials said.

Share enviromental technology with other countries
"We'll establish a program for the Department of Energy and our laboratories to share technology with countries across the region."

International coalitions advance Obama's promise
Updated: Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009 | By Catharine Richert
On the campaign trail, Barack Obama took a global view of climate change and energy production. One of his promises was to share clean energy technology with other countries.
President Obama has set up such partnerships with several countries.
In April 2009, Obama and Mexico President Felipe Calderon announced the Mexico Bilateral Framework on Clean Energy and Climate Change, a program meant to share information about clean energy.
Specifically, the two countries will:
-- Promote the exchange of information between officials from Mexico and the United States about cooperation on greenhouse gas inventories and reduction strategies.
-- Work jointly to build wind and solar capacity along the border between Mexico and the United States.
-- Address renewable energy transmission and distribution between the two countries.
-- Promote academic and scientific exchanges on renewable energy.
Similar partnerships were announced with Canada, Japan and India.
In April, Obama also established the Energy and Climate Partnership of the Americas, an additional effort meant, in part, to promote technological collaboration among the United States, Canada and Central and South America.
Obama promised to set up programs to share environmental technology with other countries, and he has. We'll move this pledge to a Promise Kept as a result.

Verona in Italy is a popular holiday destination not just for Italians and other Europeans, but for people from all corners of the globe! Located along the Adige river in Veneto, northern Italy, the city of Verona is also a notable holiday destination because of its UNESCO World Heritage Site status.
Not much is known about the early formation of this great city, but it certainly has a lot of Roman influence hence the inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage Site listings.

If you are planning a trip to Verona soon, here are five of the best tourist destinations you should be adding to your travel itinerary!
1. Parco delle Cascate di Molina (Molina Waterfall Park)
Photo Credit: Marcok (via Wikimedia Commons)
Described as an "oasis of peace" the Parco delle Cascate di Molina is a waterfall park that is approximately 80,000 square metres in size. It dates back to around 30 million years and is one of the world's outstanding areas of natural beauty.
Because of the powerful streams located here, a number of mills have been built in the area in the past to perform all manner of functions such as grinding mill, forging iron and pressing wool.
2. Museo di Castelvecchio (Castelvecchio Museum)
Photo Credit: ladyous (via Flickr)
Located in an old medieval castle (hence the name), the Museo di Castelvecchio features a range of interesting sculptures and paintings from the Romanesque period of Verona.
The castle was renovated by Italian architect Carlo Scarpa in 1959 over a period of 14 years and also contains other items such as medieval weapons, ceramics, and more. Worth a visit if you are interested in learning more about the area's history.
3. Ponte Scaligero (Scaliger Bridge)
Photo Credit: Jakub Hałun (via Wikimedia Commons)
Whilst you are in the vicinity of the Museo di Castelvecchio, you ought to catch a glimpse of the mesmerising Ponte Scaligero.
It is a fortified bridge that dates back to the early 14th century, and was supposedly a way for Cangrande II della Scala to escape from the castle in the event of attack or rebellion by the local people against his unpopular rule.
4. Basilica di San Zeno Maggiore (San Zeno Maggiore Church)
Photo Credit: Franco2005rsm (via Wikimedia Commons)
Also known as the Basilica of San Zeno, the San Zeno Maggiore Church is one of Verona's most-popular churches, and Paul from Venere highly recommends checking it out if you are in the area.
Built in the early 12th century, the San Zeno Maggiore Church is famous in that its crypt is well-regarded as the location for the marriage of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
5. Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi (Marcantonio Bentegodi Stadium)

If you feel like you are in a sporting mood, perhaps you should head over to the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi!
The stadium is home to two local teams, the Chievo Verona and Hellas Verona of Serie A. First built in 1963, it features an array of solar panels on its roof that can produce nearly 1 megawatt of electricity.

The Family Violence Prevention Services Act provides federal funding to all states. This funding is used to fund domestic violence programs throughout Alaska. All programs receiving grants provide shelter and related assistance to victims of domestic violence and their children. All of these programs operate shelter facilities which are staffed around the clock and provide a full spectrum of services, including food and immediate shelter, crisis intervention, counseling and medical/legal/personal advocacy.
The Victims of Crime Act of 1984 (VOCA) authorizes financial compensation for victims of crime and financial support for state and local agencies that provide services to crime victims. This fund is a U.S. Treasury account generated entirely by the fines and penalties levied against criminals convicted of federal crimes. As such, the amount available in this fund can vary greatly from year to year. To assist in planning for these variances, the Council spreads the grant amount over a period of three years. This provides for a more stable continuation of funding for programs.
The Council awards the majority of this funding directly to programs that provide services to victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and other violent crimes. In addition to funding programs, a portion of this grant will be used to fund a Victim Services Coordinator position with the Department of Corrections.
In 1994, Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) which serves to improve the national response to domestic violence and sexual assault. VAWA combines a series of federal sanctions and initiatives as well as national, state, and local resources to improve the response to crimes against women. These funds are delineated to four specific areas: prosecution, law enforcement, victim services and discretionary. In April 1995, Governor Knowles designated the Council as the lead agency for the coordination and management of the Violence Against Women Act funds for the State of Alaska.
To accomplish this mission, a statewide Violence Against Women Planning and Implementation Committee was created. The membership of the planning and implementation committee reflects the mandatory breakdown of the act and includes representatives from the court system; Department of Corrections; Maternal, Child and Family Health, Department of Health and Social Services; Department of Law; Department of Public Safety; Alaska Network on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault, Alaska Judicial Council; and Violence Against Indian Women grantee.
This committee has met quarterly to develop the annual plan for the VAWA funding and to address any difficulties or unmet needs identified in the state. The annual plan is submitted by the committee to the Federal VAWA office for approval. The Council is responsible for distributing and monitoring the fiscal components of all projects.
Sexual Assault Services Program – The Sexual Assault Services Program is administered by the Office on Violence Against Women and is a formula grant to all states. Specifically, this grant is used to assist sexual assault victims/survivors.

Before & After: Rusty & Dusty Bar Cart Gets A Mod Makeover
Angela over at Snag has a knack for thrifting that motivates the masses to keep searching for that diamond in the rough, even in the dingiest of thrift stores. She scored this Cosco bar cart for $3.99 — it was, in her words, "covered in rust, dust, and who knows what else." Lots of elbow grease and some steel wool prepped the cart for a mid-century modern finish that's sure to drop some jaws at Angela's next cocktail party.
According to Angela, the key to refinishing any rusty item is to sand, sand, sand. Even with all that sanding, the entire refinishing project only took about two hours and cost $20. It's hard to believe that this sleek bar cart ever suffered from faux wood finish syndrome. I think it's safe to say I'll be taking a closer look at each rusty, dusty piece I spot on my next thrift outing.
Already have a junked up piece of metal just begging to be made-over? For a materials list, step-by-step instructions, and pictures of Angela's entire project, head on over to Snag.

I don't quite get the bookends(?) on top, but it's a very cute cart now!
I love the three colors, though I would have put brown on the bottom. Very cool.
Adorable! Absolutely fantastic! I've love to have it in my home :)
How cute is THAT? Great job!
Wowzers! Love it so much!
Creative & simple DIY. What's not to like? You have inspired me to spray paint my own cosco bar cart. I think a mix of earthy greens is in store for mine. We'll see.
Super cute. Love it.
really cute idea
What type of paint did she use? spray paint? I can never find fun colors like that in spray paint!
I've seen those carts reasonably priced; but $3.99 is a real bargain. I'm also stuck on several January Cure projects just because I can't find the right color of spray paint.
Would definitely put that in my house.
sweet! i like the surprise factor of the the colour choices. fun!
I found a cart like this recently and actually painted it the same blue color she did, but painted all three trays blue. It was such an easy project and was such a cheap upgrade for my kitchen, which has little countertop space (my microwave is on it now). Love it!
Very cute!
Rnbnn, I recently discovered that Krylon has a surprising variety of spray paint colors that aren't carried in most stores. Check it out on their website. You can also special order them at Sherwin Williams to avoid paying shipping costs.
What a great idea to paint each shelve a different colour!
Micheal's Craft Store also carries a larger range of spray paint colours
She did however use Rust-Oleum's Painter's Touch spray paint
steel wool is a super fast way to get rust and junk off metal...
LOVE! Now I am on the hunt for a similar cart. Thanks for the inspiration, and great job!
This is timely. I am now going out to rescue 2 rusty TV tray tables from the recycle pile. Thanks, I think.
Some craft stores have better color selections than hardware stores. I can't say I've made a detailed study, but I remember seeing much nicer colors at Michaels vs Home Depot.
And nobody had an issue with painting over the original (faux) wood? This must be a first.
absolutely beautiful!!! great colors-great job on the before and after!
yay! :)
@Rod Miller- Hilarious!
Very nicely done!
@Rod Miller - too funny!
the cart looks terrific.
Thanks everyone. Yes, we used Rust-Oleum's Painter's Touch spray paint. The color selection was great at our local hardware store. We are so excited to have our project featured here!
Thanks for inspiring me. I had one almost identical. I made it white and gold! Thank goodness for the Rust-Oleum!! I was going to sell it on my Etsy site, but I liked it so much, I kept it! D'oh!
Bar Cart Glam Redo

A West Springfield woman got a chance to meet the man who gave her a second chance on life by donating his kidney.
"I walked in the door and the only thing I could do was walk up to him and give him a big hug. I mean it was just fantastic actually meeting him," said Elizabeth Bloomberg.
Wednesday morning Bloomberg met 25-year-old Gregory Madan, the man who selflessly donated a kidney to a woman he didn't even know.
"I've been fortunate to live a very healthy life to have a lot of great opportunities in my life and I wanted to give back to somebody else," said Madan.
Bloomberg had been on dialysis for 13 months. She had to receive the treatment three days a week for four hours each day.
"It was very tiring and it really changed my whole life," said Bloomberg.
Her daughter, Stacy Bloomberg, tried to give one of hers, but they weren't a match. So, Stacy Bloomberg entered an exchange program where she donated a kidney to a stranger and someone else would give their kidney to her mom.
"She just wasn't herself so we had to do something to make her life better," said Stacy Bloomberg.
Several months back Madan was matched with Elizabeth Bloomberg and in October the surgery was performed.
"I'm just very thankful," said Elizabeth Bloomberg.
Today the two are both doing great and say they're so happy they got to meet one another for the first time.
"There just aren't any words to thank him," said Elizabeth Bloomberg.
"It was a little surreal but I'm so glad I met her, she has a great personality, and she's really funny," said Madan.
As for Stacy Bloomberg, her kidney went to a stranger she's never met.
"If I can help someone else and she can get help at the same time then it was all worth it," said Stacy Bloomberg.
Transplant coordinators from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Baystate Medical Center worked together to make the exchange possible.

The World is Coming to UConn to Learn About H.R.
The World is Coming to UConn to Learn About Human Rights: Universitas 21
This summer, nearly 100 students and faculty from around the world will come to Storrs. From July 7 -20, the University of Connecticut will host the 2013 Universitas 21 Summer School highlighting a program that is fast becoming world renown, human rights. Under the leadership of the Human Rights Institute and with the support of the Office of Global Programs, UConn faculty and staff have developed an intensive, interdisciplinary and broad ranging curriculum designed to offer participants the opportunity to think critically about the place of human rights in our world. In addition to attending lectures and engaging in discussions with human rights experts here on campus, students will be headed to New York to visit the United Nations and the Open Society Foundation, and around Connecticut for hands-on experiences with local human rights agencies and activists. At the end of the session, students will be developing and presenting collaborative projects based on their experiences before leaving better prepared to continue their engagement with the human rights approach in their home countries and universities.
This summer school comes as the Human Rights Institute prepares to celebrate its 10th anniversary. Over that time we have built one of the largest undergraduate programs in human rights, including offering one of the only Human Rights Majors in the country. The UConn approach to human rights education emphasizes the role of the social science and humanities alongside the law in giving students an interdisciplinary and holistic understanding of one of the most import aspects of our increasingly global society. It is exactly this approach (known as the "Connecticut School of Human Rights") that we have designed the Universitas 21 Summer School to reflect and we are excited and hopeful that it will inspire participants to continue their human rights education in whatever field they call home.
This opportunity was made possible by the fact that UConn is a member of Universitas 21, a global consortium of 24 top research universities in 16 different countries. The network provides opportunities to collaborate in research and teaching, as well as exchanges for faculty, staff, and students. In addition to these programs, each year since 2004, one member has hosted a summer school session dedicated to a particular topic, including climate change (University of Queensland), food security (University of Nottingham-Ningbo), and global entrepreneurship (Tecnológico de Monterrey). We look forward to having students and faculty from Australia, Chile, China, Ireland, Korea, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, Sweden, and the UK here in Connecticut for a lively and global conversation!

Department of Clinical Sciences
Contact Information: Email: email@example.com; Phone: 607-253-4220
Sponsor: Association of Avian Veterinarians
Grant Number: N/A
Title: Comparative Immunohistochemical Localization and Characterization of the Mu and Kappa Opioid Receptors in Selected Raptor, Psittacine, Waterfowl and Passerine Species
Annual Direct Cost: $8,942
Project Period: 09/01/2011-08/31/2012
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Opioid analgesics are a group of drugs that bind reversibly to receptors in the brain and spinal cord of vertebrates. Clinical use of opioid analgesics in birds has been validated in selected species and opioids are considered the most effective drugs to control pre and post-operative pain. Studies in chickens, African grey and Hispaniolan Amazon parrots, red-tailed hawks, and great-horned owls have illustrated that pharmacokinetics, metabolism, and analgesic effect of opioids in these different species vary greatly. It is possible the variation in analgesic effect is due not only to differences in drug metabolism but also to the prevalence and distribution of different opioid receptors in the CNS, which is unknown for the majority of bird species. Early studies in the distribution of mu, delta, and kappa opioid receptors in the forebrains of humans, rats, monkeys, mice, guinea pigs, and pigeons showed that there is great variety in the predominance of different receptor types in the forebrains of different species. The presence of opioid receptors in the avian forebrain has only been described in pigeons, chickens and zebra finches (Csillag et al 1990; Reiner et al 1989, Kawate et al 2005, Khurshid et al 2009). It is believed that other avian species have mu, kappa and delta opioid receptors considering the reported subjective and objective clinical responses to opioid administration. Therefore, mapping the distribution of mu and kappa opioid receptors in the avian forebrain and midbrain is important to further understand and predict opioid analgesic effects across species and to enhance clinical opioid analgesia in birds.
We propose to characterize CNS mu and kappa opioid receptor distribution in representative raptor (red-tailed hawk, great horned owl, American kestrel), psittacine (Amazon parrot, umbrella cockatoo), anseriform (mallard duck, Canada goose), and passerine (starling, crow) species using immunohistochemistry (IHC). Mu and kappa receptors will be investigated since these are the most relevant for analgesia. Despite the lack of commercially available antibodies against opioid receptors in birds, there is a 96% homology between the human and chicken mu receptor amino acid sequence. The sequence of this receptor is also highly conserved across species (Khurshid et al 2009) and mammalian antibodies have been used successfully to localize mu and delta opioid receptors using IHC in avian species (Kawate et al 2005, Khurshid et al 2009).
The objectives of this study are to:
I. Optimize an immunohistochemistry (IHC) protocol for mu and kappa opioid receptors in chickens and zebra finches, species in which the technique was used and distribution of mu receptors within certain regions of the brain is known (Kawate et al 2005, Khurshid et al 2009).
II. To use the IHC protocol optimized in objective I for characterization of mu and kappa receptors distribution in several avian species
No birds will be purposely purchased or maintained for this study. Tissues will be obtained from the archives of the Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine Section of Anatomic Pathology as well as prospectively collected from animals presenting for necropsy from Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine Zoological Medicine Service and University of California Davis School of Veterinary Medicine.

After displaying one image of the new generation G-Class secretly or accidentally in the official picture gallery of the new GLK-Class , Mercedes has finally decided to drop the official details on the new G-Class. The car has been heavily modified and includes a new interior with exquisite materials, a completely redesigned instrument cluster and center console, and some minor changes for the exterior.
The line-up now includes a new G63 AMG powered by an eight-cylinder biturbo engine combined with an ECO start/stop system and a new G65 AMG model featuring a new V12 biturbo engine.
"Our G-Class has been a force to be reckoned with for the last 33 years. In its latest evolutionary stage, it offers state-of-the-art, powerful engines, a further improved range of luxurious appointments and the very latest safety features, as well, of course, as its now legendary off-road capabilities. At the same time the design remains true to its down-to-earth, unmistakable style," said Dr Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars.
Hit the jump to read more about the new generation Mercedes G-Class.
Exterior and Interior
Since Mercedes wanted to keep the essence of the G-Class, the list of exterior modifications is small, only including new LED daytime running lamps and new exterior mirrors. The AMG versions will also receive a new, characteristic AMG radiator grille with double louvers and distinctive new bumpers with large air intakes. The car will be offered for the first time with new 20" wheels combined with red brake calipers.
The interior, on the other hand, has received more than its fair share of updates. The instrument panel and center console have been completely redesigned and now include new controls and generously proportioned, exclusively designed trim elements. The driver will get all the info he needs from a new TFT color display combined with a large color screen - part of the COMAND Online system.
All of the new G-Class models will be offered with a standard navigation system with special additional off-road functions, LINGUATRONIC voice-operated control system, and Bluetooth wireless connectivity. As an option, customers can choose between DISTRONIC PLUS, Blind Spot Assist, and the parking aid PARKTRONIC with reversing camera.
For the new G-Class, Mercedes is offering two standard models - the G 350 BlueTEC and the G500 - and two AMG models - the G63 AMG and the G65 AMG. The basic version, the G350, features a 3.0 liter V6 diesel engine that delivers a total of 211 HP at 3400 rpm and a peak torque of 398 lb-ft delivered between 1600 to 2400 rpm. The G500 is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 petrol engine that delivers an impressive 388 HP and a peak torque of 390 lb-ft. The two versions will be offered with a standard 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission.
The G63 AMG gets a V8 biturbo engine with 544 HP and 560 lb-ft of torque, which features the ECO start/stop system as standard. The G65 AMG features a V12 biturbo engine that delivers a total of 612 HP and 737 lb-ft of torque, making this the most powerful series-produced cross-country vehicle in the world.
The new G-Class will go on sale in June 2012. In Germany, prices will be as follows:
|Price Euros
|Price Converted to USD
|G 350 BlueTEC
|G 500 Cabriolet
Finding a competitor for the standard G-Class should be pretty easy, we can't say the same about the new G65 AMG. The list of competitors delivering the same performance numbers as the standard model includes the Lincoln Navigator and the Toyota Land Cruiser . The Navigator is powered by a 5.4 liter V8 engine that delivers a total of 310 hp and 365 lb.-ft. of torque, while its price ranges from $54,400 to $59,465. The Land Cruiser is available with a choice of two engines: a 249 hp 4.0 liter Dual VVT-i V6 petrol engine or a 173 hp 3.0 liter four-cylinder turbodiesel.
- Two new AMG models
- Great power
- Interior updates
- Can get very expensive

Wavelength Restricted Light Therapy for Fatigue in multiple Sclerosis: A Pilot Study
The goal of the present investigation is to evaluate the effectiveness of light therapy in treating fatigue and thereby improving quality of life in MS patients complaining of fatigue. Integrity of the RNFL may represent an important factor that determines treatment responsiveness. Our findings may be important in advancing our understanding of the structure and function of the circadian system, how the predilection for involvement of the anterior visual system in MS influences the pathophysiology of a restricted and eloquent tract system, the RHT. Our study will be a randomized, blinded, placebo controlled crossover trial of light therapy in fatigued MS patients.
Participant Eligibility
1. Males and females between the ages of 18-70.
2. Diagnosis of relapsing forms of MS (according to the revised McDonald Criteria).
3. Complaint of fatigue by the patients, or a positive screening based on the modified fatigue impact scale (MFIS).
4. MFIS score >=37.
5. RNFL of both eyes (measured via Spectralis OCT) <75[MICRO-SYMBOL]m for group 1.
6. RNFL of both eyes (measured via Spectralis OCT) >=75[MICRO-SYMBOL]m for group 2.
7. EDSS score ≤7.

VANCOUVER — Somehow the Harlem Globetrotters are paying more attention to Tomas Hertl's buzz-creating goal than the coach of the team San Jose is playing Thursday night.
Vancouver Canucks coach John Tortorella was asked his thoughts on Hertl's creativity on the play, but declined to go there.
"Everybody's talking about the goal and I haven't seen it," Tortorella said. "I didn't see it so I can't comment on it."
About the same time, the traveling basketball squad announced it was giving Hertl a "Trotter Tribute" in recognition of his between the legs goal. The award is designed to recognize "amazing and entertaining moments during the course of competition."

Let Us Never Forget – 9/11 Remembrance Ceremony Held
(Shopping News Photo by Donald Reese)
A 9/11 remembrance ceremony was held to honor all the people that lost their lives due to a terrorist attack at the hands of Al-Qaeda. The ceremony was sponsored by Blue Ridge Communications in conjunction with America's 9/11 Foundation and Keystone Soldiers. Cindy Mellinger of Blue Ridge Communications and Ephrata's Chief William Harvey spearheaded this tribute movement, which was held at the Ephrata American Legion Post 429 ballroom.
On December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor killing 2,335 service men and women, half of which were on the Battleship Arizona. On September 11, 2001, Al-Qaeda high-jacked four jet liners and crashed two of them into the World Trade Buildings killing 2,749 people. One crashed into the Pentagon, killing 125 people, and the fourth was headed to Washington also, but was brought down by the passengers themselves in rural Pennsylvania, killing 44 passengers and crew. This is not to mention the approximately 200 people that jumped to their deaths trying to escape the collapse of the towers. The number of first responders, firemen, police and civilians trying to assist has never fully been tallied.
More people died on 9/11 then Pearl Harbor, and that event sent us to war. So the War on Terrorism is just as justified as if not more so, to bring peace and stability to this troubled world.
This service was to remember all the fallen heroes and those trying to help on that horrific day. We must never forget, this is our Pearl Harbor, and those who sacrificed should always be remembered.
Shown in the left photo are members of the Red Rose Honor Guard as they present the flags for recognition of the various branches of service. Shown in the right photo is American Legion Post 429 commander David Dreibelbis saluting as the folded flag is presented by Chris Mattson, a member of the Red Rose Honor Guard.

This is sure to bring out some haters, and some terrible puns about who the "biggest loser" really is, but I think it's a cool idea that Michelle Obama is going to guest star on NBC's Biggest Loser. The White House episode will be a two-parter -- the contestants will go to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue where their (spoiler alert) family members will surprise them. In part two the following week, Mrs. O shows up to teach them about how adult eating habits affect children. Her appearance is obviously pegged to her Let's Move! initiative and the Loser-ettes are going to be treated to the show's first ever White House workout.
If I were them, I'd be a little nervous. I mean, have you seen Michelle's arms? There are going to be a lot of push-ups in the Loser-ettes' future.
Mrs. O has been criticised for her campaign to get Americans healthy -- the White House super bowl party menu was a heart attack waiting to happen, and Michelle's been spotted eating thousands of calories worth of burger and fries at Shake Shack -- but the whole point of her initiative is to get people active, and to enjoy foods in moderation.
I'm all for this Let's Move thing. Let's do this. Let's move. Let's eat right. Let's play outside. Whatever. I'm game. I think it's great Mrs. O is going to be on the Biggest Loser, which, let's be honest, could use a ratings bump. She'll breathe new life into the series, and maybe inspire a contestant or viewer, too.
Will you watch Michelle Obama on Biggest Loser?

You walked right into it with this title!!! LOL I'll be the first... "Michelle Obama hones her skill on how to deal with THE BIGGEST LOSER, I guess she's a jump on things for Nov. 7th." Sorry, HAD TO! Ya know it would be the same for anyone running! lol

I don't watch this show anyway, so I could care less.
Sorry i don't see her as overweight and as first lady she's using her postition to try and get people to be aware of how their eating habits are passed on to their kids. Hello? how many pull ups could George Senior do? I think she's be better off having her husband look at the farm bills and see how we can get fresh food costing less than over processed crap.
I am extremely impressed with Michelle Obama. She is a fantastic First Lady and she is doing a great deal of good. Her White House garden was something that was certainly needed and let us know they are people who care about their kids and also care about others. She offers kids the opportunity to come to the gardens and help plant, to help harvest, and to eat some of the produce they have helped on. Kids eat more vegetables when they are involved in their production. She goes to schools and talk more about vegetables, healthy food and exercise. Almost all of us need to eat more veggies and some fruit and grains. She is promoting exercise too, in ways she can, such as the Biggest Loser.Remember there will be a biggest winner in the biggest losers. Mrs. Obama and her husband are some big winners to me. I want healthy food available. Mrs. Obama is a Mom, like you and me. She cares about kids, her own kids and also other kids, American kids. She cares about obesity and making a change.. More power to people who do care about other people .

Scott Fay
- Ph.D. Candidate, UC Berkeley
- Center for Comparative Genomics
Scott's primary research examines how ecology drives the evolution of endosymbiotic interactions. Foraminifera are particularly interesting for comparative evolutionary studies in symbiosis because they host such a broad array of algal endosymbionts, including diatoms, dinoflagellates, rhodophytes, and chlorophytes. He and his colleagues have several ongoing projects, including interactions between soritid foraminifera and Symbiodinium dinoflagellates, landscape and community ecology of the endosymbiotic alga Symbiodinium on coral reefs, and character evolution and systematics of foraminifera.
