Winter Holiday Festival celebrates world cultures
Posted December 14, 2006; 11:20 a.m.
Princeton students, faculty, staff and family members enjoyed live performances, a variety of holiday desserts and beverages, a cooking demonstration using late harvest herbs and vegetables, classic holiday films, cookie and ornament decorating, a knitting circle, and a Kwanzaa celebration.
Members of the Graduate Music Society performed a range of holiday tunes, including Romanian Christmas carols sung by Colindătorii and selections from the a cappella group Lux and the Klezmocrats.
The Black Graduate Caucus and Fields Center hosted a traditional Kwanzaa celebration in the Frist Multipurpose Room, which included various artistic and musical performances and poetry readings from students, faculty and staff.
A cultural exhibit, provided by the University Health Services Cultural Awareness Committee, showcased customs of Ramadan, Diwali, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa and the Chinese New Year.
A related event at Frist, the Jersey Cares Coat Drive, continues through Friday, Dec. 15. Members of the University community may donate new or gently used winter coats near the Mazo Family Game Room on the 100 level of Frist between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
The Winter Holiday Festival was sponsored by the Frist Campus Center, Athletes in Action, Black Graduate Caucus, Dining Services, Fields Center, Graduate Music Society, International Center, Religious Life Council and University Health Services Cultural Awareness Committee.

Thinking that because something CAN be shared is reason for it being justifiably shared is rubbish. Not even radical socialism would be so stupid as to say that.
I'm wondering now why most artists don't see it that way? Why not just stream the whole album, or everything but the last minute or 30 sec. of each track?
Another label (Foundry) embedded two tracks from my album with Carl Weingarten (Invisibility) in a podcast interview, which I thought was a pretty creative approach.
Over the years I've met a lot of big music fans who only download their music and never pay for any of it. The trouble, aside from the obvious piracy/copyright issues, is that we've moved into a society where most people really don't care about the effort it takes to produce a memorable product...
This is like starting the thread all over again.Its a shame, buying an album used to be about the music, but now it's apparently all about the packaging
Quote from: Immersion on April 19, 2009, 03:46:56 PMHow much your work is worth is up to the consumer to decide, so it is very relative, . It is not up to an label to decide a "price". This is incredibly naive. The music is made by the artist, but the consumer is the only one who has control of it?I agree that the consumer has the right to decide to buy or not buy music at a given price. The idea that the person who made the music has no say in the matter is ridiculous. It's just something you tell yourself so you'll feel better ignoring the rights of creative people whom you claim to respect.Do you seriously believe that listeners will voluntarily send "donations" for music they've obtained illicitly? This happens very, very rarely. I know that Hypnos has never once received one of these "I downloaded your album via bittorrent and enjoyed it so much I wanted to send along the $6 I feel the recording is worth" donations.I do believe that sometimes, a person downloads an album and really likes it enough to purchase the CD legitimately. But far, far more often, human nature takes over and they think, "well, I already have the recording, so why should I go pay for it?"
How much your work is worth is up to the consumer to decide, so it is very relative, . It is not up to an label to decide a "price".
Immersion - It sounds like you believe that Mr Roach should have a day job too and make music in his spare time - and that, therefore, works like "Mystic Chords"should not exist.
Sorry to say that, but Immersion is full of shit. His whole arguing is so incredibly naive and stupidthat it almost hurts. But in the end its bullshit to even argue with him. I stopped arguing on theinternet, since the last time it was a monkey who was in front of the other pc.Just one last question. Did Immersion ever released his own Cd? If not, then he is certainlydisqualified to discuss this thing here. Plain and simple.
Immersions comment that listeners/consumers have rights but artists do not is the basic assumption that throws everything out. Despite the possibility of language misunderstandings and the difference between 'younger' and 'older' generations I add my twopenny worth.No One has any rights, rights are just agreements between 'civilised' people and when societies are basic and violent the concept does not exist. A right has no physical reality, Christ! it's only a few years ago that we would have all been sweeping chimneys or down mines at 7 years old - no time for rights then (I only mention this as evidence of statement, not wishing we were 'back' then or anything).....and within Immersions arguments anything that has no physical reality can be ignored. The 'right' to have music for free can be taken away as easily as the 'right' to life - just by being in the wrong place at the wrong time.Music may not hold any value because the internet, big companies or listeners devalue it, but just because the flow of information makes it so easy does not make it right. If someone managed to organise the flow of our belongings out of our homes that would not make that right either.my disagreement is simple. I don't think things (music or otherwise) should be taken for free - if someone chooses to give something for free that is different...
...now on to Mr. Immersion (I am proud you held your tongue John, but I cannot) you come off as self righteous and authoritarian in so many of your posts, and yet to many of us you have no clue.I think the same about you.You clearly want the world your way. According to you: Musicians do not deserve to get paid, we should all use cheap low end gear as that is all that today's music requires, anyone who uses a Mac is a rich, elitist idiot, we should never use compression to master and you want the secrets of creating depth of field floating...which for me raps up your clueless and arrogant package in a neat little bow. Did I miss anything?And you clearly want the world your way ?You love to praise Steve Roach and how his music is the best there is and then you proceed to steal from him as you are not patient for the mail to arrive? (I am only borrowing this car for tonight officer, I have one on the way tomorrow). The ridiculous part is, why don't you e-mail Steve, tell him how much you love his music and then demand he give all of it to you for free as he does not deserve to make a living at it or recoup the cost of his studio gear, as you feel he should probably just use cheap software anyway...how dare he have a real synth and hi-end gear...oh wait aren't you saving up for an Eventide H-8000FW so you can have your floaty black hole reverb?Sorry man, your arguments do not hold water or value. You just want what you feel you deserve. You need to think of an economic model in your new world order which offers, food, gear and housing to artists and musicians. Most artists and musicians I know do a better job with better tools and more importantly the free time to create it and living on ramin noodles and working a crappy 50 hr a week job may be great for a few years, no artist will sustain them selves forever in that model...but it sounds truly like you do not care.You and your generation are not Robin Hood stealing food and money from the rich overlords to give to the poor, you are stealing works that someone else put money, blood, sweat, emotion and time into and that is something my friend that you and the world do not deserve as a right! If an artists choose to give away their craft, it is their right to do so, not the other way around....Mike and moderators, if this is out of line and too personal, feel free to delete it. I have vented and I will retreat again into the shadows...Paul

RBC Capital Markets chip analyst Doug Freedman today reiterates an Outperform rating on shares of Marvell Technology Group (AAPL), and a $15 price target, writing that the company's having won the business to provide chips for-called PCI Express, or PCI, in Apple's (AAPL) new "Mac Pro" computer, announced yesterday, could spur further design wins for the company.
Apple at its developer conference yesterday said its next model of Mac for high-end graphics, video and technical applications will feature the most advanced kind of connector between the microprocessors and the "flash" solid-state drive, producing 2.5 times the speed of data reading and writing from and to the drive. Marvell, writes Freedman, has apparently won the business to provide the controller chip that directs the transfer of data over the PCIe circuits between the flash chips in the drive and the computer's microprocessor.
Writes Freedman,
While Apple is not the first to feature PCIe flash on a high-end PC, we do recognize the company's influence on the consumer market. The move to PCIe flash could lift the bar in terms of storage performance demanded. That said, Marvell may stand to be perceived to have a first-to-market advantage in consumer PCIe controllers given Apple's endorsement. Adding to design win momentum: Just last week, we learned through tear-downs that Marvell is visibly gaining share from LSI (SandForce) in the SSD controller market with wins on SanDisk's Extreme II and ADATA's SX920; both geared for the consumer market. The predecessor products for each of these featured a SandForce controller. Its momentum has continued, but this time, on a high-profile OEM.
Marvell shares today closed down 22 cents, or 2%, at $10.87.

Geographically-Enhanced Mathematical Models of HIV Dynamics Bobashev G.V., Zule W., Root E.D., Wechsberg W.M., Borshchev A. V., and Filippov A.E. NIDA Symposium on AIDS, Cancer and Related Problems, May 26, 2004, St. Petersburg, Russia
Mathematical modeling is a relatively new but fast developing area of HIV studies providing researchers with an additional dynamical dimension in epidemiological work that allows scientists to simulate the consequences of various intervention and prevention scenarios. We illustrate these concepts by presenting a model that describes Injecting Drug Users (IDU) networks, injecting behavior and HIV/HCV spread within the networks. This individual-based (also called agent-based) model is used to investigate the impact of the introduction of Integralcannula syringes (ICS) instead of commonly used Detachable Needle syringes (DNS). Laboratory experiments have shown that ICS retain approximately 1000 times less residual blood (<.001 ml vs. 1ml) following injection and rinsing than DNS thereby decreasing risk of HIV/NCV transmission by nearly 100 times after 2 rinses.» 続きを読む
Scalable Mathematical Models for Substance Use: From Social Networks to the Whole Populations Georgiy V. Bobashev, William A. Zule, Elizabeth D. Root, Wendee M. Wechsberg, Andrei V. Borshchev, and Alex E. Filippov. The College on Problems of Drug Dependence 66th Annual Meeting, June 12–17, 2004, San Juan, Puerto Rico
Mathematical modeling is a relatively new but fast developing area of substance use field providing researchers with additional dynamical dimension in epidemiological work and allowing scientists to simulate the consequences of various intervention and prevention scenarios. We illustrate these concepts by presenting two models. The first model describes Injecting Drug Users (IDU) networks, injecting behavior and HIV/HCV spread among the networks. The size, structure of the networks as well as frequency of injecting and HIV risks were obtained from published literature on urban IDU networks. This individual-based model was used to investigate the impact of introduction of Integral-cannula syringes (ICS) instead of commonly used Detachable Needle syringes (DNS).» 続きを読む
From System Dynamics and Discrete Event to Practical Agent Based Modeling: Reasons, Techniques, Tools Andrei Borshchev and Alexei Filippov. The 22nd International Conference of the System Dynamics Society, July 25 - 29, 2004, Oxford, England
This paper may be considered as a practical reference for those who wish to add (now sufficiently matured) Agent Based modeling to their analysis toolkit and may or may not have some System Dynamics or Discrete Event modeling background. We focus on systems that contain large numbers of active objects (people, business units, animals, vehicles, or even things like projects, stocks, products, etc. that have timing, event ordering or other kind of individual behavior associated with them). We compare the three major paradigms in simulation modeling: System Dynamics, Discrete Event and Agent Based Modeling with respect to how they approach such systems. We show in detail how an Agent Based model can be built from an existing System Dynamics or a Discrete Event model and then show how easily it can be further enhanced to capture much more complicated behavior, dependencies and interactions thus providing for deeper insight in the system being modeled.» 続きを読む
A Methodological Framework for Business-Oriented Modeling of IT Infrastructure Ariel Landau, Segev Wasserkrug, Dagan Gilat, Natalia Razinkov, Aviad Sela, and Sarel Aiber. 2004 Winter Simulation Conference (WSC'04), December 5-8, Washington, D.C., USA
The creation of IT simulation models for uses such as capacity planning and optimization is becoming more and more widespread. Traditionally, the creation of such models required deep modeling and/or programming expertise, thus severely limiting their extensive use. Moreover, many modern intelligent tools now require simulation models in order to carry out their function. For these tools to be widely deployable, the derivation of simulation models must be made possible without requiring excessive technical knowledge.» 続きを読む
Spatial Dynamics of Social Network Evolution Sara Metcalf and Mark Paich. The 23rd International Conference of the System Dynamics Society, July 17 - 21, 2005, Boston, USA
This paper explores the problem of fragmenting social networks enabled by spatial distancing between distinct socioeconomic classes. Such fragmentation is evidenced by the experience of urban sprawl without population growth. We develop a prototype model to examine the spatial dynamics of social network evolution in the face of neighborhood migration. This model draws upon the small world analogy by using an initial template of connections that are "rewired" over time. Spatially, connections are established for neighborhood proximity. Socially, connections are added based upon similarity of economic class.» 続きを読む

A multi-paradigm, whole system view of health and social care for age-related macular degeneration Joe Viana, Stuart Rossiter, Andrew A. Channon, Sally C. Brailsford, Andrew Lotery, WSC-2012, Berlin
This paper presents a hybrid simulation model for the management of an eye condition called age-related macular degeneration, which particularly affects the elderly. The model represents not only the detailed clinical progression of disease in an individual, but also the organization of the hospital clinic in which patients with this condition are treated and the wider environment in which these patients live (and their social care needs, if any, are met). The model permits a 'whole system' societal view which captures the interactions between the health and social care systems» 続きを読む
Hybrid simulation of renewable energy generation and storage grids Peter Bazan, Reinhard German, WSC-2012, Berlin
The share of renewable energy sources in energy production is growing steadily. Domestic homes can be equipped with solar panels, micro combined heat and power systems, batteries, and they can become adaptive consumers. They can also deliver energy to the grid and react to the energy supply. This paper presents a hybrid simulation approach for the analysis of a grid of domestic homes equipped with different technological options with respect to efficiency and costs. For energy storage and energy flows the system dynamics modeling paradigm is used whereas control decisions are modeled as statecharts. The highly intermittent solar irradiation and also the electric power and heat demands are implemented as stochastic models. The component-based design allows for quick creation of new case studies. As examples, different homes with batteries, micro combined heat and power systems, or energy carrier carbazole as energy storage are analyzed» 続きを読む
Complex agent interactions in operational simulations for aerospace design Benjamin Schumann, James Scanlan, Hans Fangohr, WSC-2012, Berlin
Product complexity in the aerospace industry has grown fast while design procedures and techniques did not keep pace. Product life cycle implications are largely neglected during the early design phase. Also, aerospace designers fail to optimize products for the intended operational environment. This study shows how a design, simulated within its anticipated operational environment, can inform about critical design parameters, thereby creating a more targeted design improving the chance of commercial success. An agent-based operational simulation for civil Unmanned Aerial Vehicles conducting maritime Search-andRescue missions is used to design and optimize aircrafts. Agent interactions with their environment over the product life-cycle are shown to lead to unexpected model outputs. Unique insights into the optimal design are gained by analysis of the operational performance of the aircraft within its simulated environment» 続きを読む
Hybrid simulation with loosely coupled system dynamics and agent-based models for prospective health technology assessments Anatoli Djanatliev, Reinhard German, Peter Kolominsky-Rabas, Bernd M. Hofmann, WSC-2012, Berlin
Due to the ageing of the world population, the demand for technology innovations in healthcare is growing rapidly. All stakeholders (e.g., patients, healthcare providers and health industry) can take profit of innovative products, but the development degenerates often into a time consuming and cost-intensive process. Prospective Health Technology Assessment (ProHTA) is a new approach that combines the knowledge of an interdisciplinary team and uses simulation techniques to indicate the effects of new innovations early before the expensive and risky development phase begins. In this paper, we describe an approach with loosely coupled system dynamics and agent-based models within a hybrid simulation environment for ProHTA as well as a use-case scenario with an innovative stroke technology» 続きを読む

From Jedi Defender:
It's only a rumor at the moment but I'm sure it'll happen. Whenever Hasbro launches a major new line or sub-line they love rolling it out with an exclusive figure at San Diego Comic Con. I do worry given the lack of Darth Vader in the first wave if they might roll him out as an SDCC Exclusive. Hopefully whoever they choose they keep a few things in mind. People are going to go crazy pants for this line. And they better produce enough so there will be plenty to be sold on Hasbro Toy Shop after the Con.Rumor: A 6" Exclusive for SDCC 2013?
Well, it sure didn't take long for new rumors to pop up. Our sources are telling us that The Black Series 6" line may make its debut before August at a cerain large scale west coast convention. Always in motion, the future is (and this year moreso than others) but hopefully we'll get more info at the large scale east coast event nine days from now.
If they do release someone major like Darth Vader... hopefully it's mostly just the packaging that is unique. So that people who can't get to SDCC or can't buy one for a sane price from HTS or the Secondary Market will still eventually get the character. Or they could do something like R2-KT for the SDCC Exclusive. Something that's more niche and won't tick the new eager collectors off if they can't get it.

I guess someone is telling Obama that it's not as bad as it looks? After a while you'd think he would figure out that people around him are not telling him things he really ought to know, even if those things are not pleasant to hear.
They've called in Google, Red Hat, and Oracle to fix things. I'd suspect that the original contractors are trying to patch the existing website, and the other guys may be constructing a brand new site that will work. That would seem logical since most of the experts think there is no way to truly "fix" the mess of the original website.
Sadly, Obama and his spin doctors may actually believe that most Americans will "buy" this spin on the fact that so many of their existing policies are "junk policies"; that he really didn't "lie". Sort of like the red line he didn't draw on Syria? Some may be, as even Buzz and I both agree ... but could there really be as many as are being cancelled? Some may only lack things like maternity care or dental care.
However, next year the employer mandate kicks in ... that may blow the roof off (maybe that's why they delayed it, so that there wouldn't be a double whammy at the outset?) I suspect that many of those plans will also be found to be "junk" based on O-care requirements.
Notice how recently that both media and spokespeople are calling this the ACA and not Obamacare? During the POTUS debates Obama said he kind of liked it being called Obamacare. I'm thinking he is finding it more uncomfortable to have his name attached to the unpleasant results now.

Major cuts to county health programs causes concerns
LA CROSSE CO., Wis. - We are just three months into 2013, but already the La Crosse County Health Department is scrambling to figure out how to absorb major program cuts for next year.
Wisconsin recently lost $1.2 million in federal funding for lead programs and another $300,000 for radon programs.
As a result, these programs will no longer exist in La Crosse County and that could have a negative impact on your health.
"Anything can happen at this point," said Jim Steinhoff, environmental health manager for La Crosse County.
Steinhoff said the loss in funds could have a big impact on the region.
"Radon is really a serious problem in this whole part of the state," said Steinhoff. "In La Crosse County about 10 percent of the homes have 2.5 times the level that's considered acceptable by the EPA."
The funding helped the health department provide low-cost radon test kits and professional consultation to the public.19348686
Steinhoff said without these services the number of people with lung cancer may rise.
"We're looking at thousands of homes that should be repaired to reduce the risk of lung cancer," said Steinhoff.
Federal funding for the county's lead program will also likely disapear next year.
"We work pretty closely with families to get into the homes, and see if we can figure out where the source of the lead is coming from and give the families suggestions on how to fix it," said Bryany Weigel, public health nurse for La Crosse County.
Weigel said the cuts could mean waiting longer to make house visits to children with lead poisoning.
"Usually we'll go to a kiddo's home if they've been lead poisoned at 10 micrograms," said Weigel. "We might have to start going when the level's at 15."
Weigel said in the long run, lead poisoning could cause behavioral issues, affect a child's IQ and has been linked to attention deficit disorder.
And the longer Weigel has to wait before helping a child, she said, "The more detrimental it could be to the child."
The health department urges people to maintain the paint in their homes.
This issue is even more important in La Crosse County because so many of the homes are older and have a better chance of containing lead in the paint.
As for radon, the best preventative measure is to get homes tested.
County health officials will work from now until this fall on a plan for the cuts.

"I love it. I love everything from the camaraderie, the studio work, pulling songs together, helping out — I hate mixing, but I love the end result," Anselmo says, checking in by phone from his home in the swamps of Louisiana. "It is important to me, it really is. I'm very interested in what the thinking bands are doing out there. I love the underground; I'm always looking for anything that is a breath of fresh air because it makes me feel young again and gives me that 'Holy shit, I just picked up Slayer's Hell Awaits record again.' It gives me that feeling, and it's probably good for the circulation."
Down, which also features Corrosion of Conformity frontman Pepper Keenan on guitar and Crowbar vets Kirk Windstein and Jimmy Bower on guitar and drums, respectively, are preparing to unleash the six-song Down IV — Part 1: The Purple EP (Down Records/Independent Label Group) on September 18, the first of four EPs scheduled to drop in the next year that will make up the band's fourth full-length studio release. Early listens to songs like "Witchtripper" and "Misfortune Teller" display a brutal, doom-laden intensity that made the first Down release, Nola, such an unexpected gem when it came out in 1995.
"I put no pressure on myself for this Down record," Anselmo says. "I don't think any of us did. I did what we did when we recorded the first demo. I am never the guy that will sit back and say, 'Oh, we gotta break new ground!' and have all these gigantic expectations. I'm the biggest fucking pessimist in the entire world. Even when I was in Pantera, I didn't expect a fucking thing."
Music fans, on the other hand, were starved for something by the time Pantera hit its true groove with 1992's Vulgar Display of Power. It set the bar ridiculously high for heavy metal with tracks like "A New Level," "Walk," and "Fucking Hostile." A special 20th anniversary expanded edition released earlier this year sounds surprisingly fresh and undamaged by the travails of time. Anselmo turns reflective and almost somber in recalling that period. "We were very strong, in our strongest, strongest bodies," he says. "The injuries had not yet mounted in my skeleton, and . . . gosh man, we were so physical back then onstage. When we had recorded [1990's] Cowboys from Hell, we were playing a lot of those songs live in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, and I know that this has been said before, but the last song we wrote for Cowboys was 'Primal Concrete Sledge,' and if there was any song that there was a possible bridge or a sneak peek at what Vulgar Display of Power would be, it's definitely that song."

Today we are going to talk about a nasty worm called Palevo.
Palevo (also known as Rimecud, Butterfly bot or Pilleuz) made some big press in 2009 when Panda Security announced the coordinated takedown of a huge botnet that they called Mariposa.
Since then the threat lost its media attention, but what most people don't known is: Palevo is still a big player in the global threat landscape. According to FireEye, in 2010 Palevo was the top malware (# of infections) in the world:
Palevo is a so called bot kit that is being sold in underground forums (like ZeuS) using the name BUtterFly BOT. Therefore there are dozens of different botnets out there run by different criminal groups.
So what is the key to the success of Palevo? The worm is using different techniques to spread itself. The most common builtin techniques include:
- P2P filesharing programs (bearshare, imesh, emule, limewire etc.)
- Instant messaging (MSN- / Windows Live Messenger)
- Removable drives (like USB-Sticks)
In addition, criminals have been observed linking other spreading mechanisms such as windows filesharing spread with palevo to achieve maximum impact.
During the past few months I have come across dozens of USB sticks infected with a variant of Palevo. Unfortunately, most (new) Palevo samples have a very bad detection rate. This makes it pretty easy to get infected. Just imagine you are attending a meeting or event, and you ask your colleague or the presenter to get a copy of the presentation he just held a few minutes before. What will he do? Well, most probably he will provide you with his USB stick with a copy of the presentation and BOOM – you are infected.
Another aspect of the problem is the fact that most employees are using the same USB stick at home and at work. If they plug-in the USB stick (which were previously infected by Palevo on the home computer) into the office computer, Palevo will infected it immediately. In this case it doesn't matter what corporate Firewall or what Spam-Filter you are using in your network – you will get infected before most of the corporate security devices have had a chance to kick in.
In spite of Microsofts decision to disable autoplay in Windows 7, and the highly needed disabling of autorun (except for CDs) in XP/Vista/2003/2008, Palevo still seems to spread widely.
A further problem is the way Palevo communicates with its Command&Control server (C&C): The worm uses UDP and encrypts the data sent to the C&C server on (in most cases) a high port (e.g. 7700 UDP). The reason why Palevo uses UDP is simple: There is a bunch of Firewalls/Appliances out there which are poorly configured and therefore:
- aren't logging UDP packets in the Firewall log
- allow UDP traffic by default
That makes it pretty easy to keep the Palevo C&C traffic hidden even in corporate networks.
*** Palevo Tracker ***
As outlined above, Palevo is a huge threat for corporate- and home networks. Due to the fact that it is spread widely and most people are not aware of the problem I have decided to create Palevo Tracker. My goals are:
- Get some attention on the Palevo threat
- Provide a blocklist for well known Palevo C&Cs to the internet community
- Provide details regarding Palevo C&Cs to ISPs, CERTs and Law Enforcement
- Keep the project smart and simple as possible
To keep it simple I've created Palevo Tracker as sub-project on AMaDa. This means that the Palevo Tracker blocklist is included in the AMaDa C&C Blocklist.
- Palevo Tracker Monitoring Page
- Palevo Tracker Statistics Page
- AMaDa C&C Blocklist (includes Palevo C&Cs)
You can use the blocklist to block Palevo C&C traffic proactively and/or to identify infected clients (e.g. by matching the blocklist against your Firewall logs).

After our last backpack trip we sat with the Scouts and had a good session of Start, Stop, and Continue. I took the opportunity to do a little coaching on physical conditioning and that is where it got messy.
During our discussion on what we needed to do to get better at backpacking, I made mention that if you were overweight you needed to get skinny. I was not targeting any one Scout, after all, we can all stand to lose a pound or two, I was simply stating that being overweight is not a good thing. It leads to lots of problems down the road, the least of which being that ability to keep up on the hikes.
Now I am not Medical doctor, nor am I a nutritionist or health nut… I know that being fat is not healthy. If you would like to argue that, so be it. But I think that if you are alive in 2012 and do not understand the risk that you are putting yourself into by being overweight than you need to wake up.
One of the parents thought that me telling the Scouts to "Get skinny" was out of line. They said that it was insensitive and hurtful.
During my discussion with the Scouts about getting in shape and losing weight, I put myself in with them. I am in the process of losing weight for our trip to Philmont… but more importantly.. for my health. I am almost 47 and do not want to let myself go. The risk of heart disease, diabetes, and other issues are to great and I am not willing to go down that trail.
Childhood obesity can have a harmful effect on the body in a variety of ways. Obese children are more likely to have High blood pressure and high cholesterol, which are risk factors for cardiovascular disease. In one study, 70% of obese children had increased risk of impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Breathing problems, such as sleep apnea, and asthma. Joint problems and musculoskeletal discomfort. Fatty liver disease, gallstones, and gastroesophageal reflux (heartburn). And obese children and adolescents have a greater risk of social and psychological problems, such as discrimination and poor self-esteem, which can continue into adulthood. But what about the health risks later. Things like; Obese children are more likely to become obese adults. Adult obesity is associated with a number of serious health conditions including heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers. If children are overweight, obesity in adulthood is likely to be more severe. So says the CDC. According to the Center for Disease Control "During the past 20 years, there has been a dramatic increase in obesity in the United States and rates remain high. More than one-third of U.S. adults (35.7%) and approximately 17% (or 12.5 million) of children and adolescents aged 2—19 years are obese."
Hurtful? Sometimes the truth hurts. I never made it a point to hurt anyone.. but if you are fat.. you owe it to yourself to get skinny. In the discussion we talked about why people are fat or overweight. Mostly because of lack of excercise and bad eating habits was the conclusion of the group. I can't help but agree with them.
So this parent comes up to me afterward and says that they did not appreciate me calling their kid fat. I never called anyone "fat" but I apologized for the term.. but asked the parent if they thought it was a good idea for their son to be overweight. I also asked the parent what they thought I should say. They hummed and hawwed for a minute and then said that my language only hurt. I suggested that maybe it was what the Scouts needed to hear. They are never told this at School and at home they are the darling of the house and we can't tell it like it is.. right?
I asked the parent what they were doing to help their son get in shape. How many hours do they sit and play XBox? How many meals a week include fast food? Now this line of questioning may seem intrusive.. and it may be.. but the net result is overweight kids. And to be honest with you, I think it has a lot to do with parents that allow it to happen.
When I was a kid.. oh no.. not "when I was a kid" again…. When I was a kid I don't remember to many overweight kids.. yeah we had a few chunky kids, but by the time we all hit Middle School, they had grown into their bodies. The reason I believe is because we ran all day. During the summer we were outside from after breakfast till the street lights came on (that was our curfew). We played and we played hard. We took sack lunches with us and stayed outside. Our bike was our main mode of transportation. We all had farmer tans and were not afraid of a good wrestling match or dirt clod fight. But we were healthy. Aside from seasonal allergies and a broken arm, life when I was a kid was physical and fun. We played organized sports and pick up games. Baseball all spring and summer and football in the fall. The heavy kids played on the line, but they were fast and could hit hard. They replaced "kid fat" with muscle when we got a bit older and were in shape.
I am not calling out the kids of today. They are overweight because we let them become overweight.
We are afraid that they will get hurt playing sports, we are protective of letting them take their bikes across town, we don't let them go all day without checking in every hour. We give them money to hit McDonald's rather than packing a sack lunch. We have "Gaming nights" and XBox tournaments instead of getting them on the baseball field.
It's our fault.. and you know what.. The truth hurts!
In the Scout Oath the Scout makes three promises. The last promise is to himself. "to keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight". This promise is there to keep our Scouts well. Being overweight is not being well.
Parents that do not appreciate our message are not getting it. If the language was hurtful, then do something about it. It is not the intent to shame, hurt, or belittle anyone. But telling a group of Scouts that the right thing to do is to "Get skinny" is life advice that no one else is willing to say.
No one is willing to tell these young men that fat will hurt a lot worse than words in the long run. The longer we adults caiter to and allow our youth to stay overweight, the more problems we will have to deal with down the road.
I brag about my kids all the time. I am proud of them and the one thing that they can never say is that I was not honest with them. They are not overweight or out of shape. They are allowed to stay outside and play. My youngest is outside right now throwing the football around with a group of his friends. They eat well, don't drink pop, get good rest, and stay active. They are in sports, band, Scouts, and run with their friends. They get good grades and have a healthy mental outlook on life. Why? Because we make it that way.
There are no excuses. There is a lack of action or a lot of action. You pick it! Money is not an issue, attitude is the issue. Ironically lower income kids are more likely to be obese. Why? Because they don't eat well. This is a learning thing. But there is no excuse not to learn. Lower income families spend more on junk food than other folks? Why? It's more expensive to take my family to McDonald's than it is to make a good home cooked meal. In my opinion it is because people are lazy. To lazy to learn, to lazy to plan and prepare, to lazy to do the right thing. The truth hurts.
I was in line at our local Wal Mart a few weeks ago behind a lady and her three kids. She was using her Oregon trial card (food stamps). And everything she had in the basket was junk with the exception of milk. I think that with every Oregon trail card should come a mandatory class on shopping for your family. Healthy choices vs. junk. And we wonder why we have overweight kids. They claim that low income children have less access to sports and physical activity. The schools all have programs that allow for student athletes that are on a 'Free lunch' program to participate at reduced or no cost. How many of them take advantage of it? There are free classes at the school that are geared to fitness. How many parents encourage their child to take it? Our high school offers a Zero period to students to come to the school before school and work out in the gym. Who goes? Just the football team… and they are all in shape.
I guess the message here is this. We are quick to point out that our darling little boys are getting their feeling hurt because I want them to be healthy. We are quick to take the easy way out and not encourage our boys to run and play and eat right. We are quick to allow them to get fat and then wonder why. But are we quick to do something about their weight? Are we quick to feed them right and let them get active? Are we quick to recognize the truth about childhood obesity?
It does not take the President of the United States to come up with a nifty program or the NFL to advertise and encourage kids to play 60 minutes a day to change this trend. On my honor.. I will not let sit by and let it happen to the Scouts that I care for.
If a parent is not happy with the truth.. Let me remind them that a Scout is… Trustworthy, Loyal, Helpful, Friendly, Kind.. and always trying to do a good turn. If we can help these young men get fit.. we are doing a great service beyond that of our schools, government, and yeah… even some families out there.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Get Skinny?
After our last backpack trip we sat with the Scouts and had a good session of Start, Stop, and Continue. I took the opportunity to do a little coaching on physical conditioning and that is where it got messy.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Ole Miss guard Nick Williams is the only member of the Rebels' senior trio that did not begin his career at Ole Miss.
Murphy Holloway transferred away and transferred back, but both he and Reggie Buckner were there in the beginning.
Williams, a Mobile, Ala., native, started out at Indiana and was exposed to a very different style of play, one with which Wisconsin will try to end his career today.
The Rebels will try to get up and down the floor as much as they can today, while the Badgers will try to make it a halfcourt game.
The difference in style is not just a myth, Williams says.
"It's very real. I remember playing Wisconsin twice. It was different than what I'm used to now with everybody being into the shot clock all the time. The Big 10 is a slow game, dragging. It's a fight to score points in that style."
Summers cleared to play
Sophomore point guard Jarvis Summers is expected to play today.
He has been held out since late in the Missouri game in the quarterfinal round of the SEC tournament when he sustained a concussion.
Summers practiced on Wednesday for the first time since the injury.
"It feels great right now. Some days I wake up, and it's throbbing. I just have to take my medicine, eat something and go on," he said.
He appeared in 32 games this season with 29 starts and is averaging 9.3 points and 3.8 assists.
Not looped in
It seemed that no one involved with the Ole Miss-Wisconsin game escaped a question about Marshall Henderson.
Wisconsin players tread lightly around the topic.
Senior forward Mike Bruesewitz was asked what he thought Henderson and his "antics" bring to the game.
"We've watched a lot of film on him," Bruesewitz responded. "Whatever antics you're referring to, I really don't know."

Many Kiwis try out teleworking this week.
Whoever said working in the same place was necessary for a team to function? Historically workers needed to gather together where the paper, equipment or machinery was located.
Technology is making that need to be centralised obsolete. In many industries the daily grind can be conducted wherever the individual is. Cisco country manager Geoff Lawrie says we're evolving towards a new era of Smart Work.
Cisco is one of several organisations championing New Zealand's first Teleworking Week, which began on Monday. Thousands of Kiwis will be swapping the office for home this week to try out teleworking. For many it is a glimpse of the future.
We've not yet made it to the era of Smart Work. When it comes the office will no longer exist and traditional work conventions such as work hours will be irrelevant. Staff will perform their work in the locations and hours best suited to the task. Work/life balance will be improved and sustainability enhanced.
Abbie Reynolds, corporate responsibility manager at Vodafone, is especially keen on the sustainability implications of teleworking.
Reynolds describes herself as a greenie and is a champion of telework because it reduces cars on the road, the consumption of fossil fuels and the consequent emissions. She says it is also important for organisations to prepare themselves for a world where fossil fuels run out.
Reynolds began teleworking in a previous job because the work was technical and she found the quiet of home better for focusing on certain tasks such as report writing and strategic planning.
In the office, Reynolds does the "relationship work" where she needs to interact with others and gather information. "I see how we are tracking on the projects that I am working on," she says.
Commuting to Vodafone's office (on foot) takes 30-40 minutes each way. The reality is that when she's at home Reynolds commits that commuting time to work. Her employer gets bang for its buck.
Lawrie says working longer at home isn't uncommon. Research by Cisco found 45 per cent of workers did two to three hours more work a day when teleworking.
Technology such as that provided by Cisco and Vodafone and the Government's ultra-fast broadband roll-out is what has finally made teleworking happen on a large scale.
"This is the first time in human history where you can work and engage with work pretty much anywhere, any time," says Lawrie.
While some managers and IT departments remain sceptical, networks and security systems have reached a level of sophistication, which allows an employee to work remotely with full connectivity to the organisation's systems and servers.
"There are also elements of culture that are starting to mature as well," says Lawrie. "It is not a commercial endeavour. This is a broad based and fundamental social change."
And Reynolds says flexible working polices can help make an organisation an employer of choice.
Those embracing teleworking the most are Gen Y workers, and parents who need a better work/life balance.
Anna Verboeket, stakeholder relations manager at Crown Fibre Holdings, is one such parent who, with colleagues, is "participating eagerly" in Teleworking Week.
Verboeket teleworked for nearly two years in a former role at the Ministry for Heritage and Culture. The role as executive director for digital switchover was Auckland-based and teleworking was ideal.
Verboeket could schedule her three-day work week around her primary-age school children.
Verboeket recommends teleworkers pay particular attention to the ergonomic set-up of their work stations and also have a dedicated space. "Working from the kitchen table is not a long-term solution."
Employers who offer teleworking do need to consider employment law.
Michael O'Brien, senior associate employment law at Kensington Swan, says there are some key issues to consider and any flexible working arrangements should be properly documented.
He says employers need to decide if the arrangements are permanent or temporary, when reviews will be scheduled, how the programme will be monitored, what the logistics are, and who will pay for expenses.
At present, an employee may make a request for a flexible working arrangement under the Employment Relations Act 2000 if he/she has been working for their employer for six months and cares for a dependant.
A law change is expected next year making it easier for other employees to request flexible working arrangements.

As far as I know, there are only maybe 2 or 3 people showing up for the Kernel Summit and not attending OLS. The rest are staying in Ottawa for the duration. I don't think that hurts us at all. The theory was that by holding the Kernel Summit before OLS, more people would attend both events, although I personally think that the Kernel Summit benefited a little more from this arrangement than OLS did. We always ask the attendees what they thought of the event, and usually they say, "too much content...brain fried!" and I guess that's a good thing. I wonder what effect the KS will have on their responses.
As for the negative vibes aspect of it, I am completely unqualified to comment. So yeah, you'll have to take that up with someone more knowledgeable than I.

"spaying a dog before her first heat cycle will decrease her chances of mammary cancer by over 98 percent."
- http://www.americananimalhospital.co...cancer-in-dogs
although it is the job of the veterinarian to educate his clients and portray the pros and cons of surgery, as clients to that veterinarian, it is also our responsibility to make informed decisions and educate ourselves. Veterinarians cant make a decision for you, but they can answer questions you may have. There is a wealth of information out there. Just as you educate yourself before you purchase a new car (vs allowing the car salesman to pick the vehicle for you).
Dont base a decision on one article or study, because there are many great studies out there that look at multiple things (for instance, the UC Davis study reporting a 6% case rate of mast cell tumor in dogs that were neutered vs a 98% increase in mammary tumor rate in females spayed after their second heat cycle. In females spayed before their heat cycle, likelihood of getting mammary tumor is approx 0.05% (I couldnt find the primary article on this one, but was told this by my vet, I learned about it in my oncology course, and the link above discusses it).
thanks to everybody who shared information on this post! the UC Davis study is very interesting!

Awaited Mahdi
The hadiths of our Prophet (saas) provide very detailed information and signs about the End Times, which will occur shortly before Doomsday. According to these reports, several highly significant events will take place one after the other during this period. In the first stage of the End Times, terrible corruption and chaos will rule; in the second stage, these will be replaced by peace and security as people come to live by true religious moral values.
Our Prophet (saas) imparted glad tidings regarding the Mahdi, who will be sent during the End Times. For example, this great individual will liberate Muslims from cruelty and suffering; eliminate corruption; and usher in an era of peace, justice, plenty, happiness, and well being. According to reliable hadiths, he will return Islam, which has been distorted via superstitions and practices, to its true essence; meet with Prophet Isa (as); and, by Allahs will, will enable Islams moral values to prevail on Earth.

Andrea Jung's reign at Avon Products (AVP) is just about over. Jung was replaced as CEO in April, and the company said today that she would step down as Chairman at the end of the year.
Jung had risen to become Avon's first female CEO and won plaudits for her moves to grow the company about a decade ago. But recent messy earnings and a foreign bribe investigation have hurt the company. The stock experienced a volatile few months after being courted by fragrance company Coty, which eventually withdrew its bid.
Jung will remain with the company as a "senior advisor." Fred Hassan of private equity firm Warburg Pincus will become the new chairman. He's now the lead independent director.
Avon shares are up 6.2% this morning.

Jeff -
You might reconsider the recommendation that your breeder gave you. The little extra drive over to Best Retrievers is worth the time and effort. Rody & Kristin have excellent facilities, grounds and help, and they have an excellent, well structured program. More importantly, their dogs are happy and eager to work. Rody is a very good handler's coach as well. They are true professionals and class act people. If you go to a hunt test in the area, take notice of the dogs as a whole handled by each pro. All Rody's dogs are POLISHED, team players and obviously very well trained. I have had four personal friends use them. All sing their praise. All have very well behaved, trained dogs. I personally have used them and drive 2.5 hours to train with them on occasion.
This is a link to their site:

Thanks for all of the replies.
Matthew, I have been thinking seriously about Best Retrievers, with the only drawback getting my wife to agree to let me leave our pup with someone for 3 months. The more I read and research, the more Rody's name comes up.
Jeffries- I know both Clayton Taylor and Rody Best I have referred friends to them both and they were happy.

Welcome friends and family with a hearty, one-pot Italian-style stew served over polenta.
Any type of canned beans, instead of the cannellini beans, will work in this recipe. You may want to experiment with garbanzo beans, butter beans, great northern beans, red beans or kidney beans.
For an extra-special touch, sprinkle each serving with chopped fresh basil and freshly shredded or shaved Parmesan cheese.
If the polenta in your store comes in 24-ounce packages, use two-thirds of that size.

General Information about Gluepot Reserve
Gluepot Reserve is BirdLife Australia's first publicly funded Reserve. Located in the semi-arid South Australian mallee it is considered by many to be one of the crown jewels in the nation's reserve system. This 50,000 ha large area of virgin mallee scrub contains no less than 6 nationally endangered bird species and a unique flora and fauna adapted to the harsh conditions. Purchased in 1997, Gluepot is rapidly becoming a centre for scientific research. Its accessibility means it is one of the few areas in Australia where birdwatchers can relatively easily observe otherwise hard-to-find species. More

...here's one with beaucoups percentages. Time will tell how realistic these numbers are.
Rasmussen: Almost Half of US Backs Scott Walker
Monday, 21 Feb 2011 11:52 AM
A sizable number of voters are following new Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walkers showdown with unionized public employees in his state, and nearly half side with the governor.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 48% of Likely U.S. Voters agree more with the Republican governor in his dispute with union workers. Thirty-eight percent (38%) agree more with the unionized public employees, while 14% are undecided.
In an effort to close the states sizable budget deficit, Walker is proposing to eliminate collective bargaining for public employees including teachers on everything but wage issues. He is excluding public safety workers such as policemen and firemen from his plan.
Thirty-eight percent (38%) of voters think teachers, firemen and policemen should be allowed to go on strike, but 49% disagree and believe they should not have that right. Thirteen percent (13%) are not sure.
Theres strong partisan disagreement on both questions and a wide gap between the Political Class and Mainstream voters.
Thirty-six percent (36%) of all voters say that in their state the average public employee earns more than the average private sector worker. Twenty-one percent (21%) say the government employee earns less, while 20% think their pay is about the same. Twenty-three percent (23%) are not sure.
With states across the country finding that benefits for public workers are becoming difficult to fund in the current economic climate, support for public employee unions has fallen. Forty-five percent (45%) of Americans favor them, and 45% dont. These findings include 21% who Strongly Favor such unions and 30% who are Strongly Opposed to them.
The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on February 18-19, 2011 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
Fifty percent (50%) of voters favor reducing their home states government payroll by one percent a year for 10 years either by reducing the number of state employees or by cutting the pay of state workers. Twenty-eight percent (28%) oppose a cut of this nature, while another 23% arent sure about it.
In a survey last month, voters were evenly divided over the idea of a 10% across-the-board pay cut for all state employees to help reduce overall spending.
Public employee unions have long been strong supporters, financially and otherwise, of Democratic Party candidates, so its no surprise that 68% of Democrats support the union workers in the Wisconsin dispute. Sixty-eight percent (68%) of Republicans and 56% of voters not affiliated with either of the major political parties side with the governor.
Most Democrats (54%) say teachers, firemen and policemen should be allowed to go on strike. The majority of GOP voters (62%) and unaffiliateds (58%) disagree.
While 61% of Republicans and 56% of unaffiliated voters like the idea of a one percent reduction in their states government payroll for the next 10 years, a plurality (41%) of Democrats are opposed.
The Political Class opposition is more emphatic. Sixty-four percent (64%) of Political Class voters oppose a payroll cut of this kind, while 56% of those in the Mainstream think its a good idea.
But then 56% of Mainstream voters agree more with the governor in the Wisconsin dispute, while 56% of the Political Class side with the union workers.
Sixty-seven percent (67%) of all voters say they are following at least somewhat closely news reports about the Wisconsin governors effort to limit collective bargaining rights for most state employees, with 37% who are following Very Closely.
With new Republican majorities in both chambers of Wisconsins legislature, the governors plan is likely to pass, prompting thousands of protesting public workers and their allies to descend on the state capital. President Obama and the Rev. Jesse Jackson, among others, have publicly sided with the protestors, while national Republicans have backed the governor.
A sizable majority of Americans say their states are now having major budget problems, and they think spending cuts, not higher taxes, are the solution.
Most voters continue to oppose federal bailouts for financially troubled states. Voters arent thrilled with the idea of letting states declare bankruptcy, but they're more supportive if told government employees might have their pensions reduced in the process.
Seventy-eight percent (78%) of Americans say politicians unwillingness to reduce government spending is to blame for the budget crises in many states.
When it comes to the nations historic-level federal budget deficit, 70% of all voters think voters are more willing to make the hard choices needed to reduce government spending than elected politicians are.
Sixty-six percent (66%) of all voters nationwide favor a proposal to cut the federal payroll by 10% over the coming decade.
Sixty-eight percent (68%) of Americans think workers in the private sector work harder than government workers.

Melvin Manhoef vs. Denis Kang, Bibiano Fernandes vs. Yoshiro Maeda added to DREAM 18/ GLORY 4
- Written by Rian Scalia
We aren't an MMA site by any means but with GLORY putting on DREAM 18/GLORY 4, we might as well inform you of the whole card as opposed to just the kickboxing portion as it's sure to draw some interest on the MMA side of things as well.
Today in Japan, a press conference was held for DREAM 18/GLORY 4 and two fights were announced. Melvin Manhoef will fight Denis Kang in a middleweight bout, and Bibiano Fernandes fights Yoshiro Maeda (pictured, right) at bantamweight.
Manhoef will obviously be familiar to many kickboxing fans, as he's fought in K-1 and It's Showtime a lot and is one of the sport's more popular fighters. Manhoef has been doing MMA a lot more than kickboxing lately and he's 2-0-1 in 2012, coming off two wins in a row.
Many were starting to wonder when fight announcements would come, and it's good to see the fight card start to fill up. Expect a steady stream of fight announcements soon. There should also be one fight announced tomorrow, according to Sasahara.

The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things
on Television
Like Santa Claus or
the Easter Bunny, Chucko the Clown was the symbol of the fun and
wonder of a child's birthday. Those invited to the show had to get
up early in the morning around 4:00AM and travel across the
Southland to get to the studio to attend the festivities. But even
so, the program proved to very popular and was never wanting for an
audience. Reportedly, there was a five-year waiting list to get on
the show.
Besides the obvious birthday celebration that honored a
variety of kids on their special day (including a communal birthday
cake), Chucko entertained his guests with ad-libbed comments,
stories, games (pie eating contests), cartoons, stunts and sing
alongs. He signed all his autograph pictures with the gentle
sentiment "May all your days be as happy as birthdays." The show's
sponsors included Chocks Vitamins, Fizz-Ade, Ovaltine and Barbara
Ann Bread.
Runyon's wife Mildred created the original makeup for Chucko the Clown and Chuck's mother, known as "Mammy," designed and
sewed all the Chucko wardrobe.
Chucko's merry little theme song
professed "I'm Chucko, I'm Chucko, I Chucko the Birthday Clown; I'm
Chucko, Yes, Chuckol I'm the happiest guy in town!"
Chucko's Happy Birthday Song
Here's a hap, hap, happy birthday from me (that's me)
to you (that's
Have a hap, hap, happy birthday...may your every wish come true
There'll be toy balloons and prizes for you (that's you) for me
(that me)
Lots of animals in all sizes just as happy as can be
There's a birthday cake with ice cream, too
and you're in for a big
And when you make your birthday wish be sure to close your eyes.
Here's a hap hap happy birthday from me (that's me)
to you (that's
May all your other birthdays be as hap, hap, happy as the
one we've
had with you.
Yes Sir, Happy Birthday!
When the
executives at the TV station wanted to change the format of the show
and eliminate the live studio audience of children and just run
cartoons, Chucko the Clown decided to end the show. The station had
already been running "Chucko Cartoon" spots Monday through Friday at
10:00 AM and 6:00PM.
Before Charles Runyon got his gig at Channel 7 KABC-TV he was already a successful clown performer playing parties
and other events all over the San Fernando Valley. The biography "Are
Clowns Hatched?" by Mildred Runyon chronicles the life Charles (Chucko
the Birthday Clown) Runyon.
After Runyon retired his Chucko the
Clown act, his son, Randy continued to play the role from 1971 to
1995. The new Chucko appeared on the NBC soap SANTA BARBARA in the
1980s and danced up a storm on THE ARSENIO HALL SHOW in1991.
original Chucko now lives in Grants Pass, Oregon. He spends his time
raising quail, ducks, pheasants and peacocks with his wife on
Chucko's Bird Farm. You can contact him at e-mail:

1.25-1.45 TRILLION borrowed and minted US Dollars that someone is going to have to pay for so the Feds can buy this bad debt!
The should put Franklin Raines and Barney Frank in the same cell for 10 years!
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac assets: The Fed unveiled plans to buy up to an additional $750 billion of mortgage-backed securities backed by government-controlled entities such as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, on top of the $500 billion it already committed to purchasing. At the same time, the agency said it would as much as double--to up to $200 billion--its purchase of Fannie and Freddie debt. The moves will help to reduce Fannie and Freddie's financing costs, which should enable them to pass savings on to consumers in the form of lower interest rates. Today's announcement represents a significant expansion of the initial initiative announced last fall, which drove mortgage rates from 6.2 percent in mid-November to 5.2 percent in the week ending March 13, according to HSH.com
