Opinion: I'm fat, so what?
- From: Kidspot.com.au
- March 26, 2013
PERHAPS I'm fixated on it because it's a topic very close to my heart, but the media seems rife lately with people thinking it's okay to judge people for being fat.
Adele, some poor kid's mum, anytime anyone mentions Chrissie Swan.
Why does what someone weighs bother people so darn much? Since when did someone's weight become public property? And when did it become okay to insult someone so publicly, so shamelessly?
I've honestly had it up. to. here.
What someone weighs is absolutely none of anyone else's business but their own.
Being fat doesn't make you a failure, a disaster, an embarrassment. It doesn't point to any particular personality flaw, character type, discipline issue or "lack of control". It doesn't make you ugly, dirty, slovenly or (unfortunately) thick skinned. It shouldn't make you a target, it shouldn't mean you have to "ignore the haters", it shouldn't mean you are open to being called names in the street, it shouldn't mean you feel unsexy or undesirable.
Good for you if you were born loving carrots and taking comfort in celery. If you've never eaten just because you're bored, never said "just one more", never found great pleasure in lashings of butter on a warm bread roll. Or cheese. Or croissants straight from the oven. Or chocolate ice cream eaten straight from the tub. Or jam.
Extra points if you love waking up at 5am and going for a run. If you've always enjoyed exercise and pushing yourself and "going for it". I admire your discipline and determination and I'm happy that you've "never had a weight problem". With respect, if you've never had a weight problem, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about if you judge and demean those that have.
And by the way, it's absolutely possible to be entirely healthy and carry extra pounds so don't use "it's a drain on the public health system" as an excuse for your mean judgement of others. Trying to make out that a person's weight is somehow your business and you can say whatever you like because you pay taxes?What's with that? People are not statistics and generalisations have never been fair.
We might have an "ideal body type" in society, but what we're actually dealing with are lots and lots and lots of different deals. We have all been dealt different cards in life and we all have something unique and special to offer. Some of us are especially kind and loving, others are witty and smart - or pretty and stylish or caring and giving or calm and confident; lots of us are all of those things.
What we weigh has nothing whatsoever to do with who we are and what we are capable of.
Please, for godsake, please stop making fat people feel so miserable about themselves and the way they live. Instead, try reminding them that being overweight is just one part of who they are and not the most important part, not even close.
Maybe I can change my weight one day, but so far it's taken me 25 years and even then I'm still not as "thin" as I'm supposed to be, as I want to be. I know I'll keep trying to become thinner until the day I die, but only because I've invested so much of myself - for so many, many years - that I don't want to "give up trying".
Despite the stereotypes, us fatties are actually some of the most tenacious, determined people I know. Set-back after set-back after set-back after set-back, yet still we are there, trying again and again.
After years of feeling inferior because I was bigger than other people, one day I just decided that I was going to live my life wholly, freely and with pride, no matter what I weighed. The minute I made that decision, it seemed ridiculous. Ridiculous that I would even have to tell myself such a thing.
Stop judging me for who I am. We all have something about ourselves we'd like to change. Something we're working on as hard as we can.
Stop making me feel like I should be miserable, just because I eat too much.
I'd rather be fat than nasty.
Have your say

Seriously? Media may put the focus on the vanity side but health is very important. Being obese is NOT healthy. I'm not suggesting size 0 is healthy but as long as your doctor's happy with your diet and your getting enough nutrients that's reasonable. All your guilt is self inflicted because you know better. So love yourself by looking after yourself. Let a treat be a treat and its more enjoyable.

Having read the posts here, one thing seems to be crystal clear - we are terribly judgmental of others. So sad. Of course, all those people who are saying that the writer is in denial, that she is misguided, that she is a drain on the public health system... you know her personally, of course? Because clearly, you seem to think your opinion is paramount. I think the point of the article was a request for people to keep their opinions to themselves on the subject of weight. Why does the way other people look offend so many?

I work in public health and as someone who constantly has to manually handle overweight and obese patients as part of my job, I think I have every right to be judgemental. Some of my past patients are so huge in size that they cannot even lift their own legs into bed, or sit upright, and therefore rely on other able bodied persons to do basic tasks for them. On more than one occasion myself and collegues have had to refuse treatment of patients because handling the overweight person would be putting our own health at risk. Don't get me wrong, I am a larger person myself, but I work very hard to stop myself from getting to a stage where my weight is a health concern. Exercise and restraint is not something to be sneered at, it should be practiced by everyone. The strain these people put on the public health system is serious, and encouraging them to take better care of themselves through exercise and healthy eating is essential. However it is NEVER ok to publically shame or insult someone, no matter the size of their public profile (or body).

I used to be 133kgs. I wasn't happy. I'm 95kgs now and am a competitive cyclist racing B grade crits. I'm very very happy. Yes, being fat makes you a failure in the game of life, and kidding yourself that it doesn't won't help.

to all the people who are overweight, but say I eat healhty! That may be the case, but if you are overweight you are eating too uch food, whether it be healthy or not (congratulations though on eating healthily). When you overeat you put extra strain on your body, while it's trying to porcess the extra nutrients that it does not need. This leads to disease. If you are overweight, you are not healthy, you need to stop eating as much food.

"Stop judging me for who I am." => You are the one that is seeing yourself as fat. That's your problem. "Stop making me feel like I should be miserable, just because I eat too much." => Stop making up excuses for bad/poor habits that have made you fat in the first place! People like you are exactly what's wrong with today's Western culture. Entitled and weak character individuals who have no discipline, but LOVE TO WHINGE! Spoiled children in adult bodies. "I'd rather be fat than nasty." => I rather live a long, healthy life that doesn't add another burdern to our healthcare system. I rather look at life with full honesty of the good and the bad, than make up excuses. I rather be a good role model for the future generation than a bad one. Blaming someone or something else for your own failings in where you are today is not the sign of a responsible, accountable, mature adult.

This is a destructive article many, many obese people will read. The most simple arguement against this abhorrent waste of 'news' is this; Obesity costs tax payers money. Also, you should be aspiring to be thin AND nice, not just settle for 'fat'.

Sorry but as a fellow overweight Australian women I do not believe being overweight is normal. If you are truly happy and active, if you respect yourself, your health and your family you would not be overweight. I know this because I am overweight and I hate it. I am successful in work, I am a great wife and a great Mum yet I am failing myself and my family by not looking after myself and my health. Being overweight is being treated as the "Norm" all this "Power to the curves" but really we are not designed to be fat or overweight. We are designed to be lean machines who function at their peak. So sorry Maxabella. Again another loud mouthed Australian women blogger jumping on the "I'm fat and proud" bandwagon. Get off your arse, change your life, respect yourself and your family and stop hiding behind your power banner! I know I am changing because I look at women like you and cringe, I don't want to be like you so that is a huge motivator! Oh perhaps Danimezza and Closet Confessions can do the same.

Very sad that someone who is a parent justifies being fat when there are numerous studies confirming that being overweight/obese increases the risk of early death, numerous serious medical conditions and also costs society billions. It is also proven that fat parents result in fat kids who then turn into fat adults. As a parent, you ought to be ashamed of your lazy, complacent and pro-fat attitude. You are no example to your children, regardless of what you care to write.

Nice one dogbolt. I completely agree. I earn mid 6 figures and haven't been to a doctor in 6 years but I pay through the nose in Medicare levy. So all you people judge away - it doesn't faze me, because I judge the breeders who popped out kids for a new tv thanks to my baby bonus tax dollars and all the smokers who get cancer and "drain the system" with endless chemo and all the bogans who drive like maniacs and cause horrific accidents taking hospital beds away. Life is full of choices and only those who make them can be accountable. I choose my lifestyle over exercise and if I do need treatment from a doctor - I've well & truly paid for it.

Yes. You can fix fat Maxabella. If you want to. But for the most part, the comments posted here prove one thing. You can't fix stupid. A lot of people commenting need to have a thorough examination of their own imperfect lives. But hurling custard pies at fatty is too easy, feels too good. Live the way you want. Pay taxes. Obey the law. Contribute to society. Yes to all those. Then fat, thin, gay, straight, old, young...what does it matter?

Over the nasties and trolls of Sydney Posted at 3:34 PM March 26, 2013
Yes good article. Seriously too many people throwing stones at glass houses. Science is now showing overweight is often more healthier than thin. There is a huge difference between morbidly obese ... Which clearly is not healthy and the generally 'overweight' person on the street. I see a lot of trolls and assorted nasties have said their bit above, but that's pretty much the narrow mildness norm of the day. If we are seriously interested in health lets look at the immense alcohol problem in our society. The social recreational drug taking.

This notion of fat acceptance is poisonous and needs to stop. You are fat because you choose to eat too much and don't exercise. People like you are the reason we are one of the most obese nations on the planet and it is absolutely disgusting that you are encouraging others to follow such a destructive lifestyle. You might as well just tell people to go abuse their bodies with drugs and alcohol as much as they want too because what's the point in looking after your body and your health right?

I don't care personally, but it really is only discipline and self control. You don't need to pretend that it's impossible for you to lose weight because many people before you have done it. Yes, they had to watch less TV and exercise more, and give up soft drink and donuts, but they did it and so can you. So tired of all the excuses out there. Just get on with it and you'll feel a million times better.

Skinny Mum who has Fat Friends and loves them of Perth Posted at 3:28 PM March 26, 2013
There just has to be a gene for 'fat'. Just as there is a genetic structure behind short, tall, black, white, hairy legs and blonde. I think science is already uncovering irrefutable proof that 'fat' is genetically predisposed. Shaming, blaming and name-calling will one day be exposed for what it is: a witch hunt. Celebrate difference! And one day, there will be medical treatments (genetic mods?) for these genetic problems. Who will last longest when peak oil stops food supply? Not the inefficient skinnies, but the efficient fats! That is what genetic difference is all about.

Alien of NT Posted at 3:27 PM March 26, 2013
Perhaps because as a society, we the people, have to pick up what these people can't do for themselves. We have to pay for their increasing healthcare, their eating habits, their 'rights' in public. Eating yourself to 300lbs doesn't give you the right to take up a disabled seat, you shouldn't have stuffed yourself. Gaining weight isn't something that comes overnight, you have to put effort into doing it, and don't give me the "I have an injury I can't exercise" excuse, Put down the fork and try eating healthier. Calories in = Calories out, simple. I'm laughing at all the fatties saying diseases lead to obesity. Yeah right, you've only got the disease because you orbited towards planet chocula and couldn't close your mouths.

My dad had a heart attack when I was 14 and nearly died because of his eating habits. But no big deal, right? It doesn't affect anyone else, right? My family would have been fine and happy living without my dad if he didn't survive, for sure. Yeah, this whole obesity thing is really cool. Maxabella, it matters. Your family might not be as lucky as mine.

Be as fat as you like, I don't care. But if you don't fit in a seat on public transport, be prepared to stand up! I'm sick of people sitting half on me because they don't fit in their seats. And no, I don't wish my hard earned money to be used to make larger seats for people like this. If that's "nasty" then you'll just have to learn to deal with it.

"Trying to make out that a person's weight is somehow your business and you can say whatever you like because you pay taxes?What's with that?... " It is called fair and equitable policy in a democracy, dear. When there are children in poverty in the country who go without meals and people languishing through a lack of hospital beds for non-lifestyle illnesses because our taxes are wasted on larger ambulances, larger hospital equipment and obesity-related preventable illnesses such as essential hypertension (and stroke), type II diabetes (and related vascular disease) are occupying hospital beds and doctors' waiting list then we have every damn right to be concerned about when our taxes are spent are being spent inequitably. Obesity is preventable. It is self-indulgent. Why should the genuinley disadvataged be penalised for someone else's greed? And for goodness' sake, your presentation of thin privilege is an imagined one.

Something people often forget is that it is ALL A BALANCING ACT! So what if you have a muffin top or chicken wings, really who gives a sh*t?! But, if you're large enough to be causing an inconvenience to others due to your size I sincerely doubt you are in a healthy weight range. Oh, and I sincerely doubt anyone seeks comfort in carrots and celery nor do they enjoy getting up at 5am, it is the sense of accomplishment which drives them to do so, aptly pointed out by "Healthy". I do feel bad for those whose weight problems are beyond their control but for most it's a result of laziness and an unsustainable lifestyle. What about a green leaf salad or perhaps a brisk walk?

The thing is that obessity is TREATABLE. it is HCG diet. but you need real HCG not fake - homeopathic. Dr.Simeons treated thousands of obessed patients in 50th and wrote manuscript about it. I don't understand why GPs and Health minister pretend that they don't know anything about it. I lost 20 kg with it and keeping it of, my hubby lost 9 kg in 20 days and keeping it off, there are thousands of people in the world successfully doing HCG dieting (google it) but 'official' medicine keeps silence

But it's not healthy! A few extra kilos is not going to kill you but being obese certainly will. Eat a balanced diet with small portion sizes along with moderate exercise and you can have a few treats on occasion. You are not born fat, you make yourself fat through circumstance, so take control and stop living in denial.

Sadly I saw some of that show last night where they effectively shamed the 'fatties' by showing video of their families to them. Then, as they sat there in tears looking phychologically shattered, they got 'life' advice from.... a fitness trainer! Because all the problems in their lives were solely down to being overweight! Perhaps the worst piece of TV I've ever seen (yes, the channel was changed thereafter). Manipulation and exploitation of overweight, unhappy people for commercial gain is about as low as you can go. What next, Psycho Circus??

Well, good for you if you're happy with the way you are and don't wish to change. I, however, will continue to work hard and eat healthy in order to not only get my weight down, but to then maintain it at a healthy level. I do this because I want to, not because of other people. Each to their own though. Also, I'm fat, but I love carrot (raw though. Hate it cooked). Shock horror, I also like salad (the healthy leafy kind, not coleslaw or pasta salad or whatnot).

I think the obsession with "fat-hating" is indicative of the shallowness of society. There's a hell of a lot more to a peson than their physique. Given a choice between a fat, smart, sensitive, kind friend/partner/workmate, and a skinny, intolerant, mean one - I'll take the fat one any day. If there is a heaven, I sure as hell don't think St Pete will be measuring your waist-line to determine whether you're worthy of entering - he'll be looking at your deeds, your character, the interactions you had with the world.

Anyone whom has ever been sick of the dangers caused by cigarettes (fat or not) has the right to be dismayed by overweight people. People used the claim they were a drain on society, the health system and so very much more so they could target them (rightly so) and this issue isnât too far removed. Obesity related diseases are now the single biggest health burden on Australian society. If you smoke (although they pay taxes for the privilege) or are overweight it is Australiaâs business because youâre a drain on the resources of this nation that could go into other more valuable (like education) causes. I am sorry but if youâre overweight you should constantly strive for betterment and while Iâd never do it I can understand that some people may feel the need to publically vent their frustration at having their public transport seat disproportionately taken over by you or have to pay extra health associated taxes and so on.

Just saying of QLD Posted at 2:49 PM March 26, 2013
Personally, I think it says a lot of people that they feel the need to put others down. The reality is that it makes people feel so much more important and better about themselves when they can look at another person and decide they are so much better because they're not whatever it is they disapprove of. Frankly, skinny, fat, and anything inbetween is called life. People are different for all kinds of reasons and I certainly am not going to point the finger at someone else because they are different from me. I've got far better things to be concerned about than what someone else chooses to be or do. I think those of you getting on your indignant high horses should remember "people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". I haven't met a perfect person yet and I never will.

If your been trying to lose weight for 25 years and cant then your doing it wrong. I enjoy beer, chocolate, ice cream and fried food. I also eat them in moderation with a balanced diet and made the effort to understand nutrition. I do a lot of exercise as i enjoy competing in triathlon and have a healthy body weight. My kids are not overweight because they also understand healthy food, exercise and live active life styles. If you want to be fat and lazy thats fine, but most people in the normal weight range (or skinny people as you say) dont judge fat people as nearly everyone on earth has battled with weight at one stage.

Pity she is WRONG. Your physique is absolutely a reflection of your personality in some form. Maybe not a complete overview, BUT an indication your not physically active or perhaps cannot control your calorie intake. Its really that simple. Does not make you a bad person, but is certainly indicates certain traits which result in you being frumpy!!!!

Courtney of Melbourne Posted at 2:42 PM March 26, 2013
This article made my blood boil. The excuses! The emotive language used attempting to make people feel empathy for "fat people"! You ARE unhealthy and you DO lack self control. If you are going to put yourself out there to be judged then you are going to be judged. Overeating is a form of greed, stuffing your face with more food than you need is selfish. I love food, yet i don't need to consume ridiculous amounts of it. You didn't just get fat from having a scoop of ice cream, you ate the whole tub! Have you any idea how unhealthy you really are being overweight? Do you understand the health impacts your weight has on your body? Not to mention the detrimental impacts your eating habits have on your children. You are kidding yourself if you think you are overweight and healthy. I am not a nasty person, i am a realistic person. Wake up!

Stacey Posted at 2:42 PM March 26, 2013
There is only one way you end up fat and that is excess calories. I found myself in this conundrum and actually did something about it rather than complaining. Women generally exercise inefficiently. Get into the gym, lift heavy weights 3-4 day a week (it wont make you bulky) and eat a calorie deficit (for females you shouldn't need to go below 1600 cals). The weight will come off if you are consistent. Cardio is optional. People make any old excuse. The fact is if you want it bad enough you will make changes in your life. I'm a Mum of two young kids and I MAKE the time.

Advanced Interactions With Heatmaps for Analyzing High-Dimensional Datasets
The authors introduce an extended heatmap visualization integrated with enhanced interactive capabilities and computational tools for analyzing large and complex datasets. A heatmap is capable of displaying a large amount of data with many dimensions while minimizing graphic area. Varying levels of detail are provided by rendering cells as data values or computed values. Earlier approaches of having peer interfaces with R or other mathematical and analytic environments were powerful, but these were slower and lacked more interactive visual control and feedback. By including built-in computational tools, a variety of useful functions are made available to the user to enable quick identification of interesting patterns and relationships in a more guided exploratory environment.

It came none too soon. Of the first 800 employees tested, 5.1% showed alcohol or drugs in their system. This convinced me to undertake the most effective deterrent, random drug testing.
Public safety is a public trust. If you work in a cockpit or an engine room, you are responsible for the lives of your passengers. People expect and deserve a drug-free transportation system.
Random drug testing is a sensitive issue. The idea wasn't to fire employees but rather to help those with a drug-abuse problem break free of their dependence. What could be more sensitive?

This is a common-sense bill, designed to strengthen the implementation of the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act. This bill would create incentives to ensure that the self-certification process of the law is made both effective and enforceable. I urge my colleagues to support this legislation.

Bidding against survival
The Elephant Poaching Crisis and the Role of Auctions in the U.S. Ivory Market
African elephants are facing the biggest crisis in their five million year history, with tens of thousands killed each year to feed ravenous demand in Asia, the United States, and elsewhere. In this market, price tags are as deadly as bullets, and as the bidding for ivory tusks and carvings skyrockets, we must extend the fight to save these regal animals beyond Africa's savannahs and jungles – to our own shores, where the illegal ivory trade has established a firm outpost.

Person DetailsUpdate
Marlon Sullivan entered the sports management arena in 2004 as a hungry, ambitious, sports-loving kid.
From 2006-2010, Mr. Sullivan interned at SportsWest Football, a sports agency that represents football players (NFL, CFL, AFL). There he met Angelo Wright, a top agent and owner at the firm, who quickly became a mentor to Mr. Sullivan and taught him important industry skills including contract development, research, negotiating, & finalization, client day-to-day management, budgeting, client solicitation & recruitment and endorsement solicitation, and many other skills needed to manage the lives of aspiring NFL players. Mr. Sullivan says the most important lesson learned in five years at SportsWest Football is "to treat managing the lives of our clients to the highest degree possible; it's a holy privilege to be able to mentor, guide, and advise our clients through this journey we call life."
In 2009, Mr. Sullivan received his Master's Degree in Sports Management from the University of San Francisco (USF). In 2009, Mr. Sullivan traveled to Washington D.C. with 255 other young aspiring sports agents to take the test to acquire his Agent License. After successfully passing his license exam, Mr. Sullivan became the youngest Sports Agent certified with the NFLPA. Over the years, Mr. Sullivan has developed a keen eye in spotting football talent. Mr. Sullivan has recruited talented clients including Louis Leonard, defensive tackle for the Cleveland Browns, Everette Pedescleaux, defensive tackle for the Denver Broncos, and defensive end Josh Gaines from the Philadelphia Eagles. Look for Mr. Sullivan to take that next step in the Sports Management world, who is now a licensed Sports Agent working side-by-side with Angelo Wright at SportsWest Football.
It was at USF where SPANATIX was born and created by Marlon Sullivan and Partner Ajit Sane. They wanted to develop a platform where all sports fans can come together and share their own opinion. A platform which ranks fans on their decision making and how often they are right. A platform where the real sports fan lives.
Marlon loves basketball, football, tennis and bass fishing. Marlon is active in the San Francisco community he once grew up in and believes that education is the only way to true freedom and a better society. Mr. Sullivan's favorite quote rings true to his experience "Chance favors the prepared mind."

Hilsinger, the Inn's proprietor, has skied a number of the World Nordic Loppets, been a vigorous proponent of ski recreation, and managed the local alpine ski area for many years, creating the first system of cross-country trails there in 1986. Algoma's Water Tower Inn & Suites also manages a nature preserve of 600 acres of protected land on Sault Ste. Marie's northern boundary.
Stokely Creek has a 40+-year history of land conservation and shares stewardship with the Algoma Highlands Conservancy to oversee this 8000-acre (3237 ha.) preserve and its extensive trail system.
The Stokely Creek/Algoma Highlands is one of the four largest Nordic ski areas in North America…130 km are groomed for classic and skating ski styles, but there are many additional wilderness km of sometimes-groomed but well-signed trails. Ski to ice-covered lakes, enjoying the pristine silence and the snow-draped evergreens. Stay on the flats, or climb as high as King Mountain's 1880-ft. (573 m.) vertical, with views over magnificent Lake Superior. For more information and trail maps, visit Stokely Creek's website.
Towering pines, rugged rocks, sparkling creeks and waterfalls punctuate this incredible trail system. This is genuine Canadian Shield terrain just 5 driving minutes from Algoma's Water Tower Inn & Suites. You'll find a vast network of well-marked cross-country trails (45 kilometres/30 miles) that provide fantastic Nordic skiing at every level. Two trails are dedicated to snowshoeing. Main trails are groomed for classic and skating ski styles. Two kilometres are lighted for night skiing until 10pm.
This wonderful recreation park, set amid hundreds of forested acres operated by the Sault Ste. Marie Conservation Authority, is one of the city's greatest natural assets. The park itself is managed by the local Kinsmen Club, in collaboration with The Soo Finnish Ski club. The facility is open daily from December to March. Learn more and see trail maps on Hiawatha's website.
You can ski in the city at Bellevue Park, Parks Canada Historic Canal Site, and the John Rowswell Hub Trail. Our Trailhead Adventure Hosts will provide you with maps and directions.
A delicious "Breakfast Club Combo" from our Starbucks Cafe after your great sleep at the Inn.
My first stay at the Water Tower Inn was after a family trip across Canada. We pulled in to the brand new facility in the wee hours of the morning after 5 weeks of camping. It was heavenly!!!! So much so that it became our first and last night stop whenever we headed west. Those stays are something of a legend in my family and this July I had the chance to show my son why. I wouldn't have thought it could be better than my memories but it was. From the warm welcome at the front desk to the 2 hours we spent in the water. Thanks to the wonderful staff, facility and service the legend continues!- Dawn

Thousands of Mount Pleasant elementary and middle school students could be affected by new attendance zones that would go into effect next year, but details of those proposals won't be made public until Thursday night.
It was unclear Tuesday how many students the changes would affect, but more than 7,800 students are enrolled in those schools, and officials said every school will be involved.
While the timing of the release of the rezoning proposal troubled some, others said they're more concerned about the lack of opportunities to give input to create these options.
"Nobody has seen anything," said Howard Chalmers, chairman of the School Improvement Council for Laurel Hill Primary. Chalmers has two children in Park West neighborhood schools and a third who will enroll next year. "I understand that there's a process to gather information and put together options and then vet those options with the public. I get that. But why didn't they work harder to get input earlier in the process before coming up with the options?"
Marty Belk, chairwoman of the Mount Pleasant constituent school board, said the board has been working for 18 months on redrawing attendance lines for the elementary and middle schools to address overcrowding and ensure all schools offer comparable curriculums.
It has come up with options that could go into effect for the 2013-14 school year, but officials are refusing to release details about those until a Thursday night meeting.
"It is the view of the constituent school board and that of the school district that the process would be better served by having the opportunity to present the proposals to the public in an organized fashion with all of the necessary materials available at one time on Thursday night," said John Emerson, the district's attorney. "It's public information that will be made public Thursday. I think it's perfectly reasonable for us to maintain control over the presentation of these plans."
Chalmers said he was only asked once — in May — to comment on rezoning priorities. When he found out about the meeting, he had no idea whether it was a request for initial input or the unveiling of a plan. He said he wished parents would be given some time to study the proposal and digest it before being asked for feedback at the only scheduled public hearing.
"No one has time to prepare," he said. "The only thing people have time to prepare remarks for is the process to this point, which has been completely hidden from everyone."
No decisions will be made Thursday, and officials said the public will have an opportunity to give written feedback that night and later.
Jay Bender, the attorney for the South Carolina Press Association, said the district might not be violating the Freedom of Information Act, but it seemed to be a violation of the public's trust.
"I've never understood why public bodies jerk their constituents around by making them wait when the information is readily available," he said. "From a public relations perspective, they've already blown it by saying, 'We don't trust you to understand this when we give it to you.' If they had any sense, they would put it online (now) so when people come Thursday, they'll have context to understand their remarks."
Belk said she understands everyone wants to see the options, but she wants to distribute the information in a way that wouldn't lead to misunderstandings. She said principals and School Improvement Council chairs were asked for input, but they haven't seen the proposals.
"If we did that, we would never have an orderly meeting, and there would be all kinds of calls," Belk said. "We've gone through this before. I know what can happen."
The proposals that will be presented aren't set in stone, and they could change depending on public feedback, she said.

8s tho
May 7, 2014 BY Aaron Kr. / 105
Like with any collectible item, when it comes to sneakers, there are countless different types of collectors with varying tastes and areas of focus. If you have a little money to spend, it's not that difficult to put together a decent sneaker collection, but since the early days of the culture, it's always been about having what the next man didn't and nowadays, that's harder to do than ever. With the sneaker industry booming in recent years, getting your hands on the shoes you want has become an increasingly harrowing process, but while large crowds amass to get their hands on the latest new release each weekend, many seasoned collectors have chosen to go a different route altogether.
Rare samples, limited editions, and player exclusives have been around for a good while, but with so many sharks now in the water, demand for these gems has grown exponentially and the market values have reflected the thirst. For some collectors though, that's the next logical step when the mass appeal general releases no
longer do it for them and putting together an arsenal of rare treasures becomes something of an art. We've seen so many great collections at this point that we're generally not really wowed unless we see the types of shoes that nobody else has.
For New York collector, Gerald Morales, that's not a problem. Better known to the sneaker game as BikeManX or PE Gee, Gerald has been at it for years compiling a killer stockpile of drool-worthy rarities across a number of brands and genres. Above them all, his true love is the Air Force 1 and his collection surely reflects that passion, but for now, we're giving you a look at some of his other prized pairs. Enjoy this look at some of BikeManX's personal favorites with a gallery of heat that barely scratches the surface of what's hidden in all those boxes. Stay tuned for Part 2 coming soon, featuring an in-depth journey into one of the most impressive AF1 collections you'll ever see.

Erie casino slots revenue dips by 10.1 percent
Presque Isle Downs & Casino continued a trend in July when slot-machine revenue declined compared with the same month in 2013.
The revenue of $11.1 million was down from the nearly $12.4 million in July 2013, or a decline of 10.1 percent, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board reported.
Statewide, revenue of $201.4 million represented a decline of 1.7 percent from July 2013, the board said. Seven of 12 casinos showed revenue declines.
Richard McGarvey, a gaming board spokesman, has said Pennsylvania has seen a trend in the past several months of a dip in month-over-month revenues, citing competition and the state's market reaching what he called "a mature stage."
Jeff Favre, the Erie casino's general manager, agreed that there's been a consistent decline in the Pennsylvania slots market.
"Over the last several months, we've seen the same trend, which we believe is a very clear indication that the market has reached a point of saturation or maturity," Favre said.
"That especially holds true for the western Pennsylvania market. There's a lot more intense competition than in previous years," he said, referring to new casinos.
The new casinos in the market include: Hard Rock Northfield Park Rocksino in Northfield, Ohio, which opened in December; Thistledown Racino in North Randall, Ohio, which opened in April 2013; and Horseshoe Casino Cleveland, which opened in May 2012.
Favre said others in the market are Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh, Meadows Racetrack & Casino in Washington County, Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort in Chester, W.Va., and Wheeling Island Hotel, Casino & Racetrack.
Favre said he'd prefer better results from the slot machines at the Erie casino.
"However, I'm pleased that it's actually not worse considering the increased competition that has come online in our primary market," he said.
He added: "We consistently continue to be at the top or the best in payback percentage for our slots players within our casino market." Erie's casino has 1,720 slot machines.

Dimensions collide once more, Tales of Xillia 2 now available for PS3
Role-playing fans are getting the chance to continue last year's excellent Tales of Xillia storyline today with Tales of Xillia 2. The sequel is set a few years after the events of the original and follows the adventures of cooking enthusiast Ludger Kresnik and his new friend Elle Marta. The element of choice is being expanded this time around, with characters, including party members, reacting differently depending on how Ludger handles various conversations and interactions, which will open new progression paths. Players can also quickly choose which of three weapons they wish to use during combat by initiating a Weapon Swap as well as call in allies using the new Cross Dual Raid Linear Motion Battle System. Also, fans who have save files from Tales of Graces f or the first Xillia will receive bonus items, while owners of costume DLC for Xillia will be able to access the gear in Xillia 2.
Jude and Leia return in new Tales of Xillia 2 screenshots
Over a dozen new screenshots from Tales of Xillia have been released by Bandai Namco. Scheduled to release this August, the sequel follows Elle and Ludger on their way to the Land of Canaan, but the screenshots feature two of their friends, original adventurers Jude and Leia. Jude is now a researcher, trying to replace spyrix with spyrite, and Leia is a reporter for a newspaper in Elympios. Both are working towards unifying the peoples of Rieze Maxia and Elympios after the worlds came into contact with each other during the events of the first Tales of Xillia.

Banksy's Dismaland Bemusement Park, which opened in August on the Weston-super-Mare seafront in southwest England, closed this weekend.
It was billed as a "bemusement park" with the anonymous artist himself describing the pop-up "family" attraction in Weston-super-Mare as "unsuitable for children".
Some 4,500 paying customers have entered every day since it opened five weeks ago, egged on by hundreds of thousands of social media postings across the world.
Tourism chiefs in North Somerset predict it has brought £20m of business to the seaside town; statistics that could make any national arts venue drool. . .
But while lesser-known artists design their own methods to get noticed, David Lee believes they will never produce anything on as grand a scale as Banksy, who offers an "antidote to all that clever stuff".
"His art, being facile and superficial, is popular with those who don't generally like the sort of conceptualism foisted on them by the art establishment," he said.
Banksy has said that all the fixtures and timber from Dismaland will be sent to Calais to build shelters for people in the camps there.

The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) conducts and supports basic and clinical research on many of the most serious diseases affecting public health.
NIDDK extramural research is organized into 3 programmatic divisions: 1) Diabetes, Endocrinology, and Metabolic Diseases; 2) Digestive Diseases and Nutrition; and 3) Kidney, Urologic, and Hematologic Diseases.
The Institute supports basic and clinical research through investigator-initiated grants, program project and center grants, cooperative agreements, career development and training awards, and contracts.
NIH is operating at a program level of $32.31 billion in FY 2016, an increase of approximately $2 billion over the FY 2015 final budget allocations.
NIDDK's discretionary appropriation for FY 2016 is $1.818 billion. This is an increase of about 3.9% from NIDDK's appropriation in FY 2015. This figure does not include the Special Type 1 Diabetes appropriation of $150 million that NIDDK oversees on behalf of the Department of Health and Human Services.
NIDDK is committed to supporting as many meritorious competing research grant applications as possible. Consistent with NIH policy (see NIH Guide Notice NOT-OD-16-046), NIDDK will manage its portfolio in biomedical research investments in a manner that includes recognizing applications from and providing special consideration for early career investigators.
To maximize our available resources, all grant awards will continue to be subject to programmatic adjustments from the National Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NDDK) Advisory Council approved levels. These adjustments take into consideration the overall scientific and technical merit of the grant application, the cost of the proposed research, and other resources available for related research projects.
For FY 2016 NIDDK is establishing a nominal "payline" for new (Type 1) and renewal or competing continuation (Type 2) R01 applications of 13th percentile. Most unsolicited R01 applications which have a primary assignment to NIDDK and which request less than $500,000 direct costs per year and score at or better than the 13th percentile will receive an award (applications which have NIDDK as a secondary assignment do not benefit from this payline). R01 applications requesting $500,000 or more in direct costs for any year will be held to a more stringent pay line – the 8th percentile for both Type 1 and 2 applications. Starting in FY 2016, R01 applications received in response to Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) that are PARs will not automatically be considered for funding based on payline/percentile ranking. Scores and additional programmatic factors will be weighed when considering applications received under R01 PAR FOAs for funding.
Please note the following regarding competing awards:
Fostering the success of investigators establishing careers in biomedical research is a high priority of the NIDDK and NIH. In FY 2016 NIDDK will place special emphasis on supporting ESIs (new investigators within 10-years of their terminal research degree or medical residency who have not yet been awarded a substantial, competing NIH research grant; see ESI FAQs and NIDDK's New and Early Stage Investigators page) by establishing a nominal payline for R01 applications submitted by ESIs at the18th percentile. In addition, when possible and appropriate the full period of support recommended will be awarded.
R01s applications submitted by New Investigators who are not also ESIs will be paid up to the 13th percentile (same as the general pay line).
NIDDK seeks to encourage the stable integration of early career researchers into the scientific research workforce. In support of this, the nominal payline for first competitive renewal applications for R01 awards to researchers who were ESIs when they competed for the initial NIDDK Type 1 R01 award will be 15th percentile in FY 2016. Only one award per eligible investigator may be considered for this special payline. If a special payline award is made to an eligible investigator any other eligible applications from that investigator will be considered for funding based on the standard nominal payline.
In cases where a competing renewal application falls near but beyond the nominal payline, NIDDK will continue to consider interim support on a case-by-case basis and provide limited support in selected cases. The goal is to preserve essential research resources pending the re-review of a revised application. NIDDK can choose to award a one- or two-year R56 grant to an R01 application scored outside the payline. These awards provide support for investigators to collect preliminary data and use these data to revise and improve their R01 applications.
Competing awards are adjusted to achieve a 4-year average duration for research project grants. Nevertheless, applications from ESIs, MERIT extensions, program project grants, and clinical trial grants are generally awarded for the full length of their recommended project period.
Section 202 of the 2016 Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act prohibits payments for salaries under grants and other extramural mechanisms in excess of Executive Level II currently set at $185,100. See NOT-OD-16-045 for additional information.
Consistent with the NIH Fiscal Policy for Grant Awards – FY2016 (see NOT-OD-16-046) non-competing (Type 5) continuation grants (research and non-research) including those that remain to be issued in FY 2016 will likely be made at the commitment level indicated on the Notice of Award (including those that were initially issued at 90% of the commitment level in FY 2016). Out-year commitments for continuation awards in FY 2017 and beyond remain unchanged.
NIDDK has adopted a more stringent funding practice for awarding program project (P01) grants, Collaborative Interdisciplinary Team Science (R24) and other investigator-initiated grant applications with budgets of $500,000 or more requested direct costs in any one year. Prior approval is required before submitting an application for review that requests $500,000 or more in direct costs in any one year. The request to submit such applications should be received at least three months prior to the proposed submission date. Prior approval is required for renewal and revised applications as well as new applications. Please consult with the appropriate NIDDK program staff and visit the following site for information on research areas supported by NIDDK: http://www.niddk.nih.gov/research-funding/research-programs/Pages/default.aspx.
New (Type 1) and Renewal (competing continuation [Type 2]) program project (P01) applications may request a maximum of $6.25 million in direct costs over five years, excluding the Facilities & Administrative (F&A) costs for subcontracts. In addition to the caps on the amount requested, P01 awards are subject to administrative adjustment from the NDDK Advisory Council approved levels. Also, please note that any P01 grant receiving a competing award in FY 2011 or later will be limited to one subsequent renewal.

Spirit of the Eagle Award
The untimely death of a promising, exemplary young person represents a tragic, sorrowful occurrence for any family and community. For that reason the Boy Scouts of America created the Spirit of the Eagle Award. This award is an honorary, posthumous recognition for a registered BSA youth member who has lost his or her life in an accident or through illness. Bestowed by the National Court of Honor as part of the celebration of the young person's life, the award recognizes the joy, happiness, and life-fulfilling experience Scouting made in that life, while also helping to heal and comfort the youth member's family, loved ones, and friends with the loss.
Award guidelines:
- recipient must be a registered youth member under 21 years of age at the time of his or her death
- unit committee must submit an application for the award within six months of the youth member's death
- unit committee must request the approval of the local council
Applications (BSA No. 92-108) are available through local council service centers or HERE.
