Letters to the Editor
To the Editors:
The article "Your Portfolio: Maintaining Perspective" [November 2008 AAII Journal] provides several examples of historical investment returns to demonstrate the resiliency of the market. In Table 3 [Best and Worst Average Annual Returns (1945–2007)] the authors display several one-, five-, and 10-year average returns to drive home their point that an investor needs to remain in the market for the long term to achieve solid investment returns and to avoid short-term losses.
I cannot help but notice, however, that all of the "best average annual returns" are almost 10 years old. Out of 15 examples, the year 1999 is the most current year included in any of the returns—some go back as far as 1949. While likely intended to provide comfort and support to readers during this volatile period, for me, the article did just the opposite. The market of today bears little resemblance to the market five years ago, less so to the market 10 years ago, and certainly looks nothing like the market of the 1940s!

Greetings, fellow iPad users. I've been Googling this issue all morning but so far am coming up blank - perhaps one of you might know how to resolve this?
I'm attempting to connect my WiFi, NON-3G iPad to my XP netbook while I'm on holiday. I have access to Internet here through Ethernet but no WiFi. I have followed instructions to the letter for using my netbook's WiFi capabilities to create an Ad Hoc network, shared my Ethernet connection on XP, and the iPad is able to see the ad hoc network, seems like it joins it, but I still cannot get online with the iPad. I make sure to join the ad hoc network on the XP netbook first, then enter the WEP settings on my iPad, and I get the little wireless connection icon in the upper left corner...but it does not connect.
I checked the status of the WiFi connection on the iPad once it says it's connected and the IP address starts with 169.254.x.x so it appears it's not getting an IP address. I tried sharing DHCP, DNS and HTTP in the ICS settings on the netbook and also alternatively tried manually entering the IP address of the netbook into the iPad's connection settings, but neither of these steps make a difference.
When Googling this, I come across so much information about tethering an iPad to an iPhone that it's next to impossible to parse through for the situation I'm in...and whenever I do find something about trying to do what I'm doing, I follow the instructions to the letter but I'm still coming up with nothing, even following Microsoft's article on how to set up ad hoc networking.
I'm at my wit's end. Does anyone have a solution they can suggest?
Many thanks...

What are Bloody Stools?
If your pet has bloody stools, it may mean that there is a problem in the upper intestinal tract or stomach. Bloody stools are dark, tarry stools that contain blood.
Bloody Stools
Select a Topic
If your pet has bloody stools, it may mean that there is a problem in the upper intestinal tract or stomach. Bloody stools are dark, tarry stools that contain blood.
Bloody stools often occur as a result of something that does not agree with your dog or cat's stomach such as spoiled food, table scraps, garbage or road kill. Allergies to certain foods, a change in regular diet, ingesting poisons and toxins or a reaction to drugs may also cause blood-tinged stools.
Other causes of bloody stools include digestive related disorders such as diarrhea, colitis, inflammatory bowel disorder (IBD), stomach ulcer, pancreatitis as well as intestinal parasites. In addition, bloody stools may also be associated with, viral, fungal or bacterial infections, liver or kidney failure and cancer.
Bloody stools are not healthy or normal, and it is definitely a cause for concern! Consult your vet immediately if you notice bloody stools. Remember that it is very important to check your pet's stools for any abnormalities. By feeding your dog or cat a well balanced diet, exercising him regularly, taking him for routine veterinary visits and showering him with lots of love and attention will promote overall health and wellbeing.
Natural remedies are often a healthier, gentler alternative to treating blood-tinged stools than conventional medications. A combination of herbs and biochemic tissue salts are safe to use and improves the overall health of your animal.
Herbal ingredients such as Psyllium nigram, Avena sativa (Oats) and Aloe ferox have a positive effect on the digestive system and also act as a natural system cleanser. Natrium muriacticum is a biochemic tissue salt that is known for supporting digestive and skin health.
There are a number of things that you can do to prevent blood in the stools of your pet and these include:
Herbal remedy for cats and dogs to promotes regular bowel movements, plus a healthy digestive systemLearn More

Great Antenna for the money
by Jonathan - Upton, Massachusetts
July 15, 2012
Works well and installed fairly easily. NOTE- connection to radio requires soldering. It does not come with a quick connect option. All worked well, just took a little more patience. Probably a better connection in the end as well.

"To look in the mirror,
"In total surprise,
"At the hair on your shoulders
"And the age in your eyes."
I can't say I've ever been a big fan of Waylon Jennings, but as the years have rolled by, his cover of "Amanda" (a country music classic) has become something of a fascination for me. Country music, before Garth Brooks came along, sort of kept in step with my life through the years.
"Son, I've lived my three score and ten, like it says in the Bible. I'm living on someone else's nickel now."
You can look that one up … Psalm 90:10.
Granddaddy made it to 84 or so. I have plans to beat that, like more sugarless oatmeal for breakfast and steamed broccoli at least twice a week.
It was a proud day for mom and dad, but it is also the mid-seventies and my "kid" looks more like a San Francisco hippie than a Crimson Tide jock. The late Bear Bryant took care of the kid's long hair and our lives moved along at an acceptable pace until he walked in one day, took a look at his middle-aging dad, and said:
"Dad, I never thought I'd see the day when your hair was longer than mine."
I got up, looked in the mirror, got in my car, and drove to the barbershop. Much to the horror of the kid's mother, I came home with a "buzz cut," like in very short.
It is 1978 and Cale Yarborough has just won at 500-mile race at the Talladega Superspeedway. Yarborough is knocking on his 40th birthday. In his press conference his age is mentioned.
So how does it feel to be 40?
Yarborough's answer?
"It sure beats the alternative."
That is a plan I can live with, so to speak.
"If you live to be one hundred you've got it made. Very few people die past that age." — George Burns
Well, Mr. Burns made it to 100. He was born Jan. 20, 1896, died March 9, 1996, just 49 days past his 100th birthday.
Point is, Mr. Burns was not only right, but was one of the "few." I've got a ways to go, but I wouldn't mind joining Mr. Burns in that select company.
That would definitely beat my Granddaddy … five score and some more has a certain ring to it.
1. The funeral home can use a broom closet for visitation night.
2. A four-car funeral — hearse, preacher, pallbearers and son and heir — won't exactly overload U. S. 431 north out of Saks.
3. You'll have to pay someone to cry.
That last doesn't bother me one bit. It will come out of son and heir's inheritance. When he pays the mourners for their tears, he may have enough left to put gas in his car to get to the graveyard and back.
With that, I rest … don't like that one bit … maybe goodbye … nope … OK …
Thanks for visiting and I'll see you right here come Wednesday morning.

Hey guys, I wonder if you get the same problem installing MotionX Dice.
I had MotionX Dice working before, then I installed Categories moved a couple of applications and I believe MotionX Dice was one of it. I accidentally synced my applications via iTunes, and iTunes updated some of my apps (not sure if that included MotionX Dice) then I got some error about some apps not being installed for some unknown error.
So I figured, it could be because the apps are inside Categories. So, I removed them from Categories and ran the sync again. All of my apps get installed properly except for occational unknown error, but if I run sync again the apps get installed properly even MotionX Dice. BUT, even if iTunes say it got it installed, I don't see it in the Springboard.
Now, I tried to remove it via iTunes and it reports it has been removed. :confused: So, I decided to reinstall it via Appstore. It shows the icon there with the progress bar installing but when it is done, the icon disappears? Grrr.
So, I did a restore and tried it again but same thing. :confused: Any ideas? Could it be an issue with MotionX Dice? Anyone, tried installing this app in your 2.0.2 iphone?

He may not have taken the most conventional path to the NFL, but Monticello High School alum Mike Brown made his dream a reality this past season.
After going unselected in last April's NFL Draft, Brown earned a contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars following a strong performance in a rookie try-out camp. Brown was one of the team's final cuts coming out of training camp, but spent most of the regular season on the Jaguars' practice squad.
In December, Jacksonville promoted Brown, a wide receiver, to its active roster, and he appeared in the final two games of the season.
"It was a dream come true to finally get a chance to step out there on the field and compete," Brown said Thursday.
Brown is currently home in Charlottesville for the off-season. On Thursday, he was running routes at his alma mater with Joe Sanford from the AthElite Factory.
Brown says working with the veteran players on the Jaguars this past season was an educational experience.
"Being around guys who have been in the league for 10-plus years. These guys have been seeing professional athletes coming at them since I was playing here at Monticello," he said. "So to get to grab knowledge from those guys, and just going against those guys every day, getting that experience. It's helped me a lot."
It's been an eventful off-season for the Jaguars organization. The team fired head coach Mike Mularkey after a 2-14 season in 2012, replacing him with former Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley.
Brown says he'll return to Jacksonville in early April for organized workouts and OTAs, followed by his second training camp as an NFL player.
"I feel like I'm starting a lot further ahead than I was last year," he said. "So just starting at a higher level, and trying to take my game to another level."

I've seen the posts/ideas on Pinterest for plates decorated with sharpie and baked to make the art permanent. Can you do the same with this craft to set the paint and make the plate useable and not just a decoration? Thanks!

I am not sure if that would make it usable - sorry :( Would be a great idea though if it did!!!

Hi! I love this cute little plate and was thinking about giving one each to the grands this year. Should I apply a sealant or bake the plates just to ensure that they will hold up through the years? They will only be on display I was just thinking about them taking them up and down each year! Thanks for the wonderful idea!
- 11/25/2012
- artsy_momma said...
Hi Ashley!
I have found that using Enamel Paints and letting air dry seems to hold up well enough, but you could always bake it for the amount of time recommended in the instructions on the back of the bottle - I personally haven't found it to make a difference.
If you use something like Acrylic Paints, then I would definitely use a clear sealant spray after it dries completely since Acrylics tend to scratch easily on that type of surface.
Good Luck! Feel free to post a finished photo to our FB wall if you'd like to share it with everyone :)
- 11/26/2012
This is a vey cute idea. I wanted to try it with the infants I work with. Doesn't the enamel paint stain the skin? Am I better off using acrylic paint? I was also wondering if I can use a plastic plate?
- 11/29/2012
Is this just a regular plate you eat off of or do I need some special plate??
I'm so excited to try this!!!
- 12/04/2012
I did this today with my grandson who is going to be turning one right after Christmas. I used finger paint on a Corelle dinner plate. Is there anything I can use to seal it with. Already had it done, did not think about using any other kind of paint. Please let me know because it will be a gift Christmas Eve. Than you so much.
- 12/21/2012
- artsy_momma said...
@Anonymous - I haven't found that it stained the skin. If you use acrylic paint, I would seal it with a clear sealant spray (comes in a bottle that looks like a mini spray paint can in the craft section of stores}. Acrylic paint tends to scratch off a lot easier whereas the Enamel paints seem more permanent.
Yes, you could use a plastic plate :)

@Anonymous.... Yes, you can use any kind of plate - I buy mine a the dollar store :) With that being said, it is for decorative purposes only & not safe for eating off of.
- 12/21/2012
- artsy_momma said...
@Anonymous - I have used a clear sealant spray in the past to seal it (use outside) Here is one on Amazon but I haven't personally used this brand before http://www.amazon.com/Krylon-6-Ounce-Crystal-Acrylic-Coating/dp/B001K65K26 I bought one at Wal-mart that I don't recommend b/c it dries bumpy. Your best bet would be to go to a craft store like Michaels, Hobby Lobby, etc. and ask someone who works there if they can recommend one that they have either used or have heard good feedback on.
Good luck! I bet his parents will love it!!!

Tasting Notes: Samish Bay Raw Milk Gouda
Long time readers of this site may remember that I've been on a bit of a quest for cheeses made with unpasteurized milk. Mainstream grocery stores avoid the stuff entirely, with the exception of Whole Foods. The key sticking point with unpasteurized milk cheeses is the 60 day period required for these raw milk cheeses have to age. Most cheese producers seem less than enthused with dealing with both the cost of unpasteurized milk on top of the regulations that they need to deal with. Finding a nice gouda was damn near impossible.
Enter the local farms. While persuing the Sunday Farmer's market here in Seattle, I came across a booth from Samish Bay Farm. Among there wares was a small sample wheel of cheeses made from raw milk. To say that I walked with a bit of a skip in my step is like saying that the USDA has a bit of a credibility problem (zing!).
At any rate, here's my tasting notes, a regular series that I use to catalogue new tastes that I happen to come across.
Nose: It smells like a kitchen after you've warmed a cup of milk in order to help you sleep.
Eyes: a nice almond white with a slight yellow tinge.
Taste: Tart at first that crescendos into a bit of sharpness almost to the point of astringency. It finishes quite nicely, with the a really pleasant aftertaste of milk.
Overall: A very nice cheese. It's a slightly rough in the middle (only slightly) but ends wonderfully. It's one of the best cheeses I've had this year.

What Is Traffic and Why Do I Need It?
Anytime that we put a website online, people are going to magically know about it, how to spell your domain name, and what your website contains. Of course, this is a silly notion. Unless someone knows about your website, how to spell your domain name, and what information your website makes available, there is little hope that someone would ever end up on there. Letting everyone on the planet know that your site is online and ready to be used would be an expensive endeavor; too large for anyone to realistically ever accomplish. Plus, if each page of your website offers different information (or "content") than the one before it, we would have little hope of advertising each page of your site individually. However, if you have constructed each page of your website in such a way that is considered to be "SEO Conscious", then you are doing what you can to ensure that search engines pay attention to the information contained on each of these pages.

"I would highly recommend this as a Save the Date for a couple who is looking for a stylish, classic look! The quality of the paper, the printing and the design are all simply outstanding. The design services were great and delivery was prompt. I added a little blingy to make it a little pretty. I am very happy!"
"I was more than pleased with the service from the designers. They were very professional and helpful in determining the right custom card colors to go with my wedding colors. The card itself is simple yet elegant, and we were very happy!"
"Absolutely loved the idea of having a magnet as our save the dates. They came before I was expecting them - all the way to Australia! They were so easy to customise and we loved all the font options. All came printed so well. Simple and clear design. Exactly what we were looking for!"
"We ordered the Hydrangea color. We were looking for something that was fun and colorful, but that wouldn't commit us to a theme for the wedding. This magnet was perfect for that. We personalized the text a little bit by capitalizing our names and adding our wedding website address in place of the last line. The quality of the printing was excellent. Our order shipped promptly and was packaged professionally. I can't wait for my guests to see them!"

The History
Meridiana - The History of Meridiana
The origins
ALISARDA, a company with entirely private capital, was established in March 29th 1963 on the initiative of HH Prince Aga Khan with the objective of favouring the development of the tourist industry in the Emerald Coast (Costa Smeralda), which is located in the north-eastern coast of Sardinia, and until that time, only accessible by sea.
Alisarda's expansion
In 1978 Alisarda was assigned the concession of the Cagliari-Milan-Cagliari route; the organizational and operative capabilities of the company had practically doubled thanks also to the expansion of the fleet with two DC9-32. Services were extended also to Europe with flights from and to Sardinia from Geneva, Zurich, Paris, Frankfurt and Düsseldorf.
From Alisarda to Meridiana
On May 3rd 1991 in an Extraordinary Shareholders Meeting, in consideration of the new company profile that saw the company expanding its operations to Europe, the name of the company was change to Meridiana S.p.A.
The 90's
In 1993, with the arrival of the eighth MD-82, Meridiana inaugurated two new service routes from and to Sardinia, the Cagliari-Florence and the Cagliari-Paris, opening also its second daily flight between Florence and Paris, its fifth daily flight between Verona and Rome, and its fourth daily flight between Milan-Malpensa and Rome. The year it celebrated its 33 years of foundation Meridiana closed.
From 2000 to 2004
The first nine months of operation in the year 2001 were positive; then the company suffered the aftermath of the dramatic events of September 11 and the incident at the Linate airport in Milan. As a consequence of the September 11 events air transportation worldwide decreased with peaks of up to 25%. In 2001 Meridiana carried 3.269.664 passengers.
Meridiana Today
In 2005, a significant issue concerns the development of direct sales (direct agents and new telematic sales channels, the website www.meridiana.it, the website dedicated to travel agents and the Call Centre 892 928), which reached 40% of total sales. In 2005 Meridiana set a new record by carrying over 4 million passengers.
Eurofly - The History Eurofly
The 90's
Eurofly was created seventeen years ago. Since 1989 it has come a long way, making many changes in its management and its fleet, which is on average less than 4 years old, continually searching for ways to better satisfy its customers', passengers', tour operators' and travel agencies' needs.

Dicember 2000: Eurofly becomes the Alitalia Group's official charter company.
May 2001: Eurofly begins renovating its fleet introducing 5 new 320 Airbus for its medium haul network.

The euro zone PMI report was a happy surprise today, but the euro zone economy is still contracting - and investors are decidedly edgy about the euro.
Is the worst still ahead for the common currency?
"I still like selling it - you've just got to pick a level to get involved," says Andrew Busch, publisher of andrewbusch.com.
The key, Busch says, is the European Central Bank meeting coming up on Thursday.
There are hints the bank may intervene to buy Portuguese bonds, he told CNBC's Scott Wapner, and prices of those securities are rising.
But for the euro, "I also think there may be a rate cut, so I want to keep selling it until that meeting."
For that short-term trade, Busch recommends selling the euro against the dollar at 1.3075, setting a stop at 1.3125 and a target of 1.2925, for a three-to-one risk-reward ratio.
Tune In: CNBC's "Money in Motion Currency Trading" airs on Fridays at 5:30pm and repeats on Saturdays at 7pm.

420 W Market Street, San Antonio, TX | Directions 7820529.423362 -98.490672
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Central San Antonio
Great hotel BUT.. – It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at goo.gl/FPxYD They have some of the best hotel deals on the web!
Great Hotel BUT... – It's a great hotel but if any of you are looking to save some $$ then book it at referer.us/8/GoodHotelDeals They usually have some pretty good deals on there!
Nice – The pool was a let down, but the rooms were spacious, clean, with great views and the location is perfect. I concur with what others have said about the excellent liquor store/smoke shop next door. I went there daily and got everything I needed in terms of snacks and goodies.
Great atmosphere for New Year's celebration – Great food, great stay, good service, excellent location. Lots of fun for New Year's Eve with music, special menu, and access to the Riverwalk. Only downside with our stay was the large line waiting to check out despite express checkout. The (smug) concierge also gave us directions towards the freeway, but didn't take into account the roadworks on New Years Day. We stayed with our 2 young children. Childfriendly rooms and restaurants. (Balconies have a safety lock on the sliding door as well as the usual lock).
Beautiful – My husband and I stayed here for our 1st anniversary. The room was on the 9th floor overlooking the Riverwalk. The room and the view were wonderful. I loved the bed and the shower! We had the romance package which included chocolates and champagne upon arrival and breakfast in bed. The room was made ready in a hurry upon our arrival and there were a few small issues with the room being properly stock, but all were easily and politely taken care of. All of the employees that we dealt with were nice and professional. Overall we had a wonderful time!
Distinctive digs with modern amenities and beds so heavenly they're hard to roll out of. – In Short
With programs designed for both business travelers and families, this property takes service seriously. Business travelers can take advantage of guest office rooms stocked with phone, fax and printer. For families, a kids' club provides coloring books, bath toys and a phone line dedicated to bedtime stories. All visitors are treated to signature Heavenly Beds with pillow-top mattresses, cushy down blankets and crisp white sheets ranging in thread count from 180 to 250.
Fabulous! – After being bumped from an overbooking at La Mansion, the Westin was an absolute treat. This property is gorgeous, with one of the most wonderful suites I've found anywhere in the U.S. The staff is incredibly accommodating as well. This is truly a class act property!
Marvelous! – This hotel made our weekend getaway more than we could have hoped for! The staff was incredibly friendly & helpful, the rooms were comfortable & luxurious, and the location of the hotel was great. Definitely worth every penny!
exceptional – This hotel was awesome. I recieved incredible service. Everyone went above and beyond what I would have expected! Beautiful view and a quant little flower garden that backs up to the riverwalk.
nice with family or for business! – Beautiful hotel right on the riverwalk. The rooms were oh so comfortable - especially the Heavenly Bed. Staff also made us feel right at home. Large work area and 2line phones for biz travelers. we can't wait to return! SA is a great spot for vacation too - romantic and tons of family type entertainment as well.

My opinion most want listen to.
Throw the damn thing away as it is nothing short of a fire hazard. There has never been one that is designed to be used on a 15 amp circuit or one designed to be used for an extended length of time.
This is a resistive load of 12.5 amps at 125%. Now you have a heater that is 1875 watts or that little heater needs a circuit that can deliver 20 amps but this will not stop the heating of the cord.

High tension match for Maria in the Olympics second round. Against Laura Robson, with the crowd deployed in favor of the GBR player, Maria wins the first set 76 among too many difficulties. Better the second set, with Maria more comfortable, won 63. Despite the frenzy of the crowd, good time in London.
Congratulations, Maria!
Take care of yourself.

Comments On Jul 31, 2011: I just bought a bone stock 2007 RAPTOR 700 SE. I rode the bike at Mountain View WYO. (BADLANDS). It ran good but I'd heared from several people who ride Little Sahara that I could make it so much more. I purchased this pipe and installation was easy, a perfect fit. I also purchased a K&N filter kit at the same time. I used my stock airbox and added several 1" holes in the lid. WOW!!! Trust me, the difference is huge. It is very loud with the big tip. I run the mid tip with the spark arrestor for daily riding, still loud and very big HP increase.

Comments On Jul 05, 2011:I had been searching for an exhaust for my Trx450r for about 2 months!!! After looking at hundreds of reviews of many different types of exhaust,, I finally found the right one!!! It sounds clean and is loud ,with stage 3 end cap on, and gave a great power boost,,and I just bought the slip on!!! The quality is great!!! Installation is very easy as well!! 5 star product!! Price is reasonable too!!
Was this review helpful?
Comments On Jun 16, 2011:I have had this installed for about a week now and i love it! I havent tried the other 2 stages, but it comes with nothing but the spark arrestor in it. Mounted pretty easily and lined up about perfect! I would advise the HMF Optimizer as well if this pipe is going on an EFI. If not there will be a slight bog but nothing giving throttle cant fix. On a 2010 YFZ 450X

New London County has a higher than average obesity rate as well as issues involving access to health care, according to a community health needs assessment study.
Lawrence & Memorial Hospital issued the results of the study this morning. The assessment identifies cancer and access to care as the top prioritized community health needs, followed by issues related to cancer, sexual health, mental and behavioral health, and asthma.
The hospital hired Holleran Consulting of Lancaster, Penn., to conduct the study in 2012. Janeen Maxwell, a health and human services consultant with the company, said the goal of the study is to identify health priorities and set goals and strategies to address them.
According to the study, 26 percent of adults in New London County reported a body mass index of 30 or greater, indicating obesity, in 2010. The percentage of obese adults in Connecticut at the time was reported as 23.1 percent.
A 2007 assessment reported that 36.4 percent and 41 percent of pre-kindergarten girls and boys, respectively, in the New London Public Schools were overweight or obese. The level was at 44.9 percent for fourth grade boys and 58.6 percent for fourth grade girls.
Maxwell said the data is sometimes dated and is based on the last available information.
"Sometimes 2007 was the last time they released a specific data point," she said.
Maxwell said that the study identified some disparities between the city of New London and the rest of the L&M service area. In particular, there is a larger black and Hispanic population in the city, a higher poverty rate, and lower levels of education. Maxwell said these demographics can have an effect on the health rates, saying those in poverty are more likely to experience obesity.
Russell Melmed, an epidemiologist with the Ledge Light Health District, said the lead causes of death in New London County are related to cardiovascular issues or cancer. He said there is a disparity in these numbers, with black and Hispanic residents experiencing higher mortality rates in most causes of death.
"This is egregious. This is unacceptable. This is unjust," said Melmed. "There's no reason blacks and Hispanics should be dying at greater rates than whites."
Maxwell said that the number of New London County residents with access to health insurance compares favorably to state and national rates, there are still some issues with health care access. She said a survey of 26 local health and human service professionals as well as community leaders identified issues with finances or transportation, language or cultural barriers, and a lack of awareness of resources as problems related to health. The survey also identified a need for access to primary and specialty care providers, free or low cost health care options, access to food and exercise programs, outreach efforts by health providers, and bilingual staff and programs.
Melmed said there are high rates of emergency room visits in the county but that the comparative hospitalization rate is lower. He said residents are using the hospital for problems such as asthma, which he said should be treated at home.
Dr. Nicholas Fischer, superintendent of the New London Public Schools, said the study should make an effort to distinguish between race and poverty in identifying health impacts. He also said the issue of access relates to residents having limited resources.
"I don't care where you are in the country, the main reason people go to the emergency room is they can't afford a doctor," he said.
The study also made the following conclusions:
- Certain cancer rates were higher in New London County than the state and national averages between 2004 and 2008 including breast cancer, female colorectal cancer, and lung cancer. However, the rate of prostate cancer was the lower than state and national averages
- Diabetes cases per 1,000 people increased from 27.4 in 2008 to 33.7 in 2010, well above the goal of 7.2 set by Healthy People 2020
- Asthma rates declined between 2008 and 2010 but remained above the Healthy People 2020 goals, with 234.4 cases per 100,000 people in the 0-4 age group in the L&M service area
- Chlamydia rates were high but below the state and national average in 2008, with 245.4 cases per 100,000 people in the L&M primary service area

24-Hour Quiz
Forum devoted to track & field items of an historical nature.
21 posts • Page 1 of 1
24-Hour Quiz
The current issue of Sports Business Journal has a column about a recent survey designed to determine the "fame quotient" of athletes in the US. The results were based on 2,000 responses from individuals who identified themselves as having a general interest in sports. They were asked to rate more than 400 athletes on a scale ranging from "one of my favorites" to "never seen or heard of."
Here are the top 12 athletes, who were listed in the box accompanying the article:
1. Michael Jordan
2. Tiger Woods
3. Nolan Ryan
4. Joe Montana
5. Cal Ripken
6. Jerry Rice
7. John Madden
8 (tie) Wayne Gretzky
[a track and field athlete]
10 (tie) Arnold Palmer
Howie Long
12. Magic Johnson
Obviously, the top 12 included no active baseball players, no NBA'ers other than Jordan, no boxers or tennis players, no quarterbacks other than Montana, etc. But there was a track and field athlete.
OK, would you like to guess who this track person was? I'll post the answer tomorrow (Sunday) at noon, Eastern time. Subscribers to SBJ are kindly requested not to spoil the fun.
Re: 24-Hour Quiz
Let's try....FloJo
Re: 24-Hour Quiz
I can't decide between two answers, both of which are sad. I'm very afraid that it's either a druggie (Ben) or a guy long-dead (Jesse Owens).
Re: 24-Hour Quiz
I'll try Carl Lewis, but Johnson is an interesting possibility.
Re: 24-Hour Quiz
What no Secretariat? How about the bottom 12?
My guess Jesse Owens. My wife's Jesse Owens or Jim Ryun. "It depends on the age of the responders.", she says.
Re: 24-Hour Quiz
I think it has to be Carl Lewis.
Re: 24-Hour Quiz
not a MJ?: Michael Johnson or Marion Jones?
Re: 24-Hour Quiz
You get famous by doing TV ads - not the sport itself.
Re: 24-Hour Quiz
Aw heck, I'll go with Carl Lewis also. He seems to be the only name my non-fan friends know.
Re: 24-Hour Quiz
Duh, Carl Lewis.
Re: 24-Hour Quiz
Lewis is famous, but I don't see people voting him as "one of my favorites." Same for Big Ben.
Owens is legendary, of course, but all the others in the top 12 are alive; maybe the biz journal included only those capable of live testimonials.
Flojo is a favorite of the general public (who are naive about drugs), but like Owens she is dead. Also, I doubt the only track athlete to make the list would be female. So that eliminates Marion Jones too.
So, by process of elimination, I guess Michael Johnson. People really got into the whole "golden shoes" gimmick, and Nike did a good job pushing him while the Olympics were in the U.S. He comes off as a nice guy, so I can see people voting him "one of my favorites." But it's hard to imagine any of these folks beating Ali.
Of course, if we were to go by t&fn coverage, it'd be Webb. Please tell me it's not him (or Jennings).
Re: 24-Hour Quiz
Beamon, Bob 29' 2 1/2"
Re: 24-Hour Quiz
Steve Prefontaine.
Re: 24-Hour Quiz
I'm changing my answer to Bruce Jenner, for three reasons. First, he fits the demographics of those who made the list (washed-up white men). Second, he has remained visible, if only in his cheesy infomercials and commercials. Third, he did his country proud in the LA Olympics, and I recall images of him with the flag. That counts in this time of high patriotism.
Lewis is the most famous, but like I said he isn't a "favorite." Also, he'd be too obvious an answer for this to be a good quiz.
That's it, I'm going with Jenner.
Re: 24-Hour Quiz
A trick answer would be that feller who ran the 3rd leg on the USC 440 relay WR team in 1967. He's famous, and nobody can catch him.
Re: 24-Hour Quiz
Edwin Moses
Re: 24-Hour Quiz
The OJ reference belongs in the prison thread - oh no, wait, he didn't go to prison for killing his wife!
Re: 24-Hour Quiz
The sum of the guesses by responders to the Board was as follows:
Carl Lewis - 4
Jesse Owens - 2
Michael Johnson - 2
Flo-Jo - 1
Ben Johnson - 1
Marion Jones - 1
Bob Beamon - 1
Pre - 1
Bruce Jenner - 1
Edwin Moses - 1
And the right answer was none of the above.
It was Jackie Joyner-Kersee!
The guy who wrote the story described this as the "most surprising result" of the survey. And the President of the company that conducted the survey said "That's one I really can't figure out."
To be perfectly honest, I would have guessed wrong on this quiz myself. But I was delighted by the fact that there was such a high level of public awareness of someone in our sport.
Re: 24-Hour Quiz
she totally deserves to be #1 person in t&f.
Re: 24-Hour Quiz
Do you think the poll results are ... honest? I've worked in TV, and you would not believe how often the results from polls are altered for a particular result.
Re: 24-Hour Quiz
Totally agree!
Personally, before finding out who 'the' T&F athlete was in the poll results, I would have said Carl Lewis or Marion Jones. (Michael Johnson is always saying how much more famous he is in Europe, compared to US). Although I would have liked JJK to be "most favourite", I wouldn't have guessed that she'd be more favoured than Marion (in things like this, I wouldn't see Carl Lewis is the most likable T&F american athlete).
Great for Jackie - highest ranked woman and highest ranked T&F athlete. And, above all, AMAZING athlete!

Runaway porn: What economic difference would it make to LA?
Photo by Robert Elyov via Flickr Creative Commons
Will these innocuous tubes of latex drive the porn business out of L.A.? Does it matter?
The passage of Measure B last week means that the condom will now become, by a law, a fixture in adult movies. Predictably, this has set off a frenzy of speculation about the porn industry picking up and leaving its longtime L.A. boogie-nights home and heading for the prophylactic-free jungle rooms of Las Vegas - or even, the L.A. Times suggests, Budapest, Hungary, the San Fernando Valley of Mitteleuropa.
Adult entertainment boomed after the advent of home video in the 1980s. A decade ago, local economists estimated that the porn industry in the San Fernando Valley generated 10,000 to 20,000 jobs a year and had $4 billion in annual sales.
But declining DVD sales and the availability of free content on the Internet have hammered the local industry. The number of porn producers in L.A. has fallen to about 300, down from approximately 500 at its peak seven years ago, Helmy said.
Although porn production accounts for fewer than 5% of all film permits in Los Angeles County, the industry is an important player in the region's entertainment economy.
Industry estimates figure that about 5,000 adult films are shot each year in the county's warehouses and private homes.

Golf for Dreamers
Professional golf's version of the minor leagues draws hundreds of players willing to put up their own money for the prize pool, and a faraway goal of making the PGA Tour
Jeff Williams
From the Print Edition:
David Caruso, Jan/Feb 2007
Without the slightest fanfare, Steve Marino stepped to the 10th tee of a desert course near Scottsdale, Arizona, on his way to making history. Some personal history, that is. He was playing in the Grey Goose Gateway Tour Championship, an important event for those who play in it, an invisible one for those who don't.
There were no massive grandstands at the Outlaw Course in the Desert Mountain development. There were no galleries surrounding the greens or standing five deep at the tees. The few spectators—loved ones and friends—were outnumbered by the cacti about a thousand to one. Johnny Miller wasn't in a tower behind the 18th green and there was no press corps to chronicle the event. This was a minitour tournament, far from the Tigerized PGA Tour where thousands watch and millions in prizes are at stake. Hardly a soul was witness to Steve Marino's personal history.
On the short par-4 10th, the 26-year-old Marino ripped a drive that landed 30 yards short of the green and hopped perfectly to the putting surface where it barely missed going in for an ace. He made his three-foot eagle putt and stood at 9-under par for 10 holes. He would make two birdies, then another eagle at the par-5 16th, finish with two routine pars and shoot that magic number of 59, a round that carried him to the Grey Goose Tour title. As he tapped in his putt on the 18th, there was applause from the handful of pros, tournament officials and the odd spectator. There aren't any roars in minitour golf, not even for a 59.
Here in the minor leagues of the game, David Feherty doesn't prowl the fairways wielding a cutting-edge wit, hospitality suites filled with the pampered privileged don't overlook the greens, and golf company reps don't haunt the driving range to make sure their prized players have everything they need. The minitours of golf aren't for the masses.
Instead, minitours are where dreams of playing the PGA Tour are kept alive, where games are honed and lessons learned. For the tough, talented few, they are stepladders to the PGA Tour. For some, they are cushions, safety nets that catch them when bad play knocks them from PGA heaven. But for most, they are a proving ground of a negative sort, proving, that is, that the vast majority of players don't have what it takes to compete with the Phil Mickelsons and Vijay Singhs, or even the Brett Quigleys and Joe Durants.
The NGA Hooters Professional Golf Tour is the most established of these tours, based in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The Grey Goose Tour is a relative newcomer based in Scottsdale, with a division in West Palm Beach (it will operate under a new title sponsor in 2007). There are many smaller tours across the United States, such as the Tight Lies Tour, the A.G. Spanos Tour, the Golden State Tour, the Tarheel Tour, the Dakotas Tour and an ambitious newcomer, the U.S. Pro Golf Tour. The latter has support from Donald Trump and intends to operate 22 tournaments in 2007, its first full season.
These tours share something in common: they are filled with dreamers. And there's reason for more than a little hope in those dreams. Occasionally, great players do emerge from the satellite competitions. Tom Lehman, Jim Furyk, John Daly, David Toms, Ben Curtis, Lee Janzen and Shaun Micheel, all major tournament winners, played Hooters Tour golf (back in their time, it was known as the T.C. Jordan Tour).
What Lehman & Co. have achieved drives hundreds of good, young players to play for their own money in the hopes that one day they will be playing for the millions put up by others. Minitour players put up the money that makes these tours possible, but there are no guarantees that a PGA Tour spot awaits. These minitours are not affiliated with the PGA Tour. The PGA has its own minor league tour, the Nationwide, that provides automatic promotion to the big tour for its most accomplished players. So no matter what a player does on the minitours, he still has to go through the grueling PGA Tour qualification process. The minis, therefore, provide a tournament-style venue for players that lets them experience the thrill—or misery—of standing over a putt where the money means more than just a check in your pocket.
More than anything, minitour players practice grinding.
"This is organized gambling," says Marc Turnesa, 28, a University of North Carolina graduate and Grey Goose Tour player. "It's no different than gambling with a bunch of buddies and putting up $1,300 apiece. Of course, if you did, you would be playing for 100 percent of it, not here, where you play for maybe 80 percent. But it's a good way to prepare for [PGA] Q school and that's all that matters."

Anniston police Capt. Allen George said the incident occurred on Thursday, just after the driver finished delivering cases of Budweiser to the Shell gas station on the corner of Quintard Avenue and 18th Street. When the driver went to the trash bin out back to throw away garbage, a man came out from behind the trasn bin with a nickel-plated handgun and demanded money, the captain said.
George said the victim told police the robber was a man wearing sunglasses, blue jeans and black shoes. The victim also said the robber had a blue T-shirt pulled over his face.
The victim told police he did not know the robber.
George said there was no evidence found at the scene.
The suspect took more than $2,000 from the victim. The suspect could face charges of first-degree robbery, according to a police report.
