Maryland is expensive, has high taxes, crime and bad weather but it can still be a great place to retire, state officials say. Besides, they point out, Florida isn't perfect either.
A recent MoneyRates.com study ranked Maryland as the fifth worst place in the nation to retire due to data the website analyzed on cost of living, unemployment, climate, crime rates and life expectancy.
South Carolina, Alaska, Michigan and Nevada were the only states deemed worse than Maryland, according to the study.
However, seniors are among the fastest growing age group in the state, said Ilene Rosenthal, deputy secretary of the Maryland Department of Aging.
The Maryland Department of Planning projects the number of people age 60 and above will grow 36 percent between 2010 and 2020 in Maryland, whereas the projected percentage gain for the entire population is just under 9 percent.
Bob Passerelli, 59, is among those who plan to retire in Maryland, attracted both by the proximity to his family and the opportunities to nurture his photography hobby in settings like the Eastern Shore.
"It's a nice state," said Passerelli, of Catonsville. "There are a lot of things to see and do, and an opportunity to practice my hobby, which is photography."
In Montgomery County, seniors are the fastest-growing age group, according to the county's Division of Aging and Disability Services.
The number of seniors in Montgomery County, the state's largest, increased 130 percent from 1980 to 2010, the agency said. Their number is expected to increase an additional 65 percent from 2000 to 2020.
The number of seniors choosing to reside in other parts of the state has increased as well.
Baltimore County's rate of senior citizens has remained steady at about 14 percent between 2000 and 2009, when census estimates show about 112,535 living in the county.
In Howard County, the percentage of seniors has increased from 7.5 percent in 2000 to 9.3 percent in 2005-2009, according to the most recent numbers from the U.S. census. An average of 25,524 people over the age of 65 lived in Howard County between 2005 and 2009, according to census data.
In Carroll County, 12 percent of the population–or 20,209–is 65 and older, an increase from 10.8 percent in 2000.
Officials acknowledged that cost of living may dissuade some people from coming to the state.
Maryland has the eighth highest cost of living nationally, according to a survey for the fourth quarter of 2010 by the Missouri Department of Economic Development that looked at the cost of groceries, utilities, housing and other indicators.
"Financial factors obviously have a role," said Rosenthal. Retirees consider property taxes and general cost of living, she said.
Bill Jones, who lives and works in Ocean View, DE, but whose family is from Maryland, said he would never retire in the Free State because taxes are so much lower in Delaware.
"We have a 3,000-square-foot house on Cape Cod on a third of an acre, and our property tax is $630 a year," he said. "And, they cut that tax in half when you turn 65 … In Maryland, you can expect property taxes for a similar property on the Eastern Shore to be three times what we pay."
Nationally, Maryland has the 12th highest state and local tax burden, which the Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan organization that tracks taxes, estimates is 10 percent of a person's income.
"But only a small subsection of older people have the resources and desire to move," Charles A. Smith, chief of planning and evaluation for the Montgomery County's division on aging, said.
Additionally, people are afraid of crime, but much more than they should be, Smith noted.
"The percentage of older adults who are victims of crime is infinitesimal," he said.
Maryland is the 9th most violent state in the country, according to the Governor's Office of Crime Control and Prevention, which calculated crime rates per 1,000 people. A bulk of Maryland's crime is concentrated in the urban areas of Baltimore City and Prince George's County, state crime data shows.
The yearly crime report released by the Maryland State Police does not classify the number of crimes that are committed against senior citizens.
Despite higher taxes and some crime, "there are people who choose Maryland because it offers everything from mountains to beaches and access to better health care," said Rosenthal.
State tourism officials cite the array of mountainous areas in the western part of the state and the beach destinations on the Eastern Shore--all within about a three-hour drive from Baltimore and Washington, D.C. The capital region also offers a close proximity to D.C.'s museums and attractions, tourism officials say.
Maryland is also home to state-of-the-art medical facilities, such as Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.
Rosenthal said some elders may be drawn to places like Florida because of the weather, and it has no income taxes.
However, "Florida has lost some of its glimmer," said Tom Wetzel, president of Retirement Living Information Center, Inc., a Connecticut-based online resource for people planning retirement.
In the past, retirees sought warmer climates, but he said that now "people are less inclined to be in a hot climate all the time. People are liking the four seasons."
As the popularity of states have changed, Arizona, Texas, the Carolinas and Mid-Atlantic states like Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania are becoming more popular, Wetzel said.
"Maryland has some wonderful resources and it's really all about quality of life," Rosenthal said. She said Maryland officials focus on the idea of "livable communities" that offer services, access to health care, grocery stores, walkability, etc.
"They want to stay active and are looking for places that allow them to contribute and remain engaged," she said.
Also, older Marylanders and retirees prefer not to move, said Tiffany Lundquist, spokeswoman for AARP Maryland. "They're redefining retirement."
That means they are looking to be active in second careers, opportunities to volunteer and more, she said.
Lundquist noted that "fewer than 5 percent of people 55 and over move in any year."
"We do know that the most important considerations when people retire is they want to be near friends and family," she said. "They want to stay in the communities where they put down roots, and if Maryland is where they built their life, then Maryland is a terrific place for them to retire."

The Mankato Free Press
---- — ST. CLAIR — Seniors Chloe Hanson and Katelyn Weber combined for 29 points as St. Clair downed Legacy Christian Academy 51-42 in the opening round of the 2013 St. Clair Girls Holiday Basketball Classic.
The Cyclones not only ran the tempo with their press, but also dominated in the paint, crashing the boards and getting numerous second chances while also holding the Lions to just one look per drive. The Cyclones led 36-22 at the break after scoring the first 13 points in the game but LCA stayed strong, outscoring St. Clair 20-15 in the second half to get to within striking distance.
With the tempo on their side, the Cyclones used their stifling full-court defense to their advantage, leaving the Lions vulnerable to quick turnovers and uneven matchups the entire game. St. Clair's aggressiveness was the key, but also hurt the Cyclones as they struggled with foul trouble in both halves. The teams combined for 40-plus fouls.
The Lions had a chance late to make the game more interesting, but could not get the big shot as Hanson converted three free throws down the stretch to keep LCA out of range.
"We talked about coming out with a lot of energy and I thought we did in the first half," St. Clair head coach Brian Noyes said. "Unfortunately we got a little too aggressive with our full-court pressure and gave them a lot of scoring opportunities at the free throw line.
"But all in all being our first game after the Christmas break I thought our kids came out played really hard to get the win. We don't have a lot of size so we try and make that up with our quickness and that's kind of the strength to our team. We like to get after people and play at a high tempo."
The Cyclones (6-3) committed 14 first-half fouls as four different players had three-plus fouls in the game. That included Hanson, who scored 13 of her 16 points in the first half before sitting out nine minutes of the second half with four fouls. With Hanson out, the Lions slowly began to mount a comeback as their perimeter shooting picked up.
After Hanson and Weber, freshman Hailey Embacher added nine points and Olivia Drummer and Danielle Boettcher tallied five apiece for the Cyclones. For LCA (1-6), freshman Kayla Ruf scored 11 and junior Lexi Weddle added 10.
The victory keeps St. Clair in the winners bracket, as it will face the winner of Maple River vs. Canby tonight at 6:30 p.m. in a semifinal game. Noyes expects his Cyclones to play hard no matter who they face.
"There are a lot of good teams in the tournament so we're excited to play whoever shows up."

Work on the Brown's Creek Trail -- the state's newest recreational trail -- will begin this month as contractors from Nebraska dig out the old Minnesota Zephyr tracks and ties.
The Tie Yard of Omaha Inc. is paying the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources $273,000 for the materials along the nearly six-mile stretch between Stillwater and Grant. The money will be used to for future trail development, said Harland Hiemstra, a spokesman for the DNR.
Motorists may experience a few short-term road closures or detours when the work begins in the next few weeks, Hiemstra said. Track removal should be finished by Nov. 30.
The public is asked to stay off the trail during the track removal and to exercise caution at intersections and crossings, Hiemstra said. He also advised that no one use the trail while it is being built.
The next phase of trail development, slated for 2013, will include paving the section from downtown Stillwater to Brown's Creek Park and Nature Preserve at Neal Avenue.
It also will include building a new bridge over Brown's Creek at the Oak Glen Golf Course in Stillwater and rehabilitation of the bridge over Minnesota 95.
Further development of the trail, including a proposed bridge over Manning Avenue, will depend on funding availability, Hiemstra said.
Dave Paradeau, owner of the Zephyr dinner train, sold the train corridor to the DNR for $4.25 million. The purchase was completed in February with money from state lottery proceeds, the Legacy Amendment, Washington County and the Gateway-Brown's Creek Trail Association.
The DNR estimates 75,000 people a year will use the trail.

The Mankato Free Press
---- — Early childhood programs and funding are getting lots of attention recently with a push at both the state and federal levels to expand funding and offerings.
That's a good thing. Our children's early years deserve the deepest investment possible because the payoff is so obvious. It's also to our advantage in southern Minnesota that this area has been a leader in early childhood education for a long time.
Last week was the 10th anniversary celebration of the Minnesota Early Childhood Initiative. Collaborated by the Minnesota Initiative Foundations, the program has grown to include 90 community and county coalitions based in more than 300 sites, said Sara Carlson, program officer for the Southwest Initiative Foundation.
Each coalition is tailored to its region's unique needs. The network of coalitions focuses on quality care and education for children from birth to age 5. A main priority over the years has been to offer training to child care providers.
The importance of strengthening early childhood education programs and expanding them is proven by the support they receive beyond government funding. The Mankato business community has been a strong supporter of early childhood programs. The United Way here helps fund nine programs to help families afford preschool or other early-childhood education. And in 2012, the McKnight Foundation made a three-year grant of $900,000 to the Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation for the Early Childhood Initiative. The grant is to strengthen the early literacy goal of improvement pre-K to grade 3 outcomes for children across the state.
This year the state of Minnesota took decisive action to invest in its young children. A bill was passed at the Legislature that added $485 million to the education budget over the next two years, including $134 million for all-day kindergarten.The bill also added $40 million in government scholarships for low-income parents to send their kids to preschool. It's an expansion of a program first piloted in three sites, including Blue Earth and Nicollet counties.
On the federal level, the Obama administration has proposed a plan that would make high-quality preschool affordable for all children. U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan visited Minnesota this month and praised the state for making early education a priority. But he also noted in an opinion piece in the Star Tribune that despite Minnesota's increased efforts, there are still 35,000 3- and 4-year-olds without access to high-quality learning opportunities. Low-income children are most often the ones who miss out on top-notch child care.
The president's proposal is to make high-quality, full-day preschool available to all 4-year-olds from families whose incomes are at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty line. In addition, a new Early Head Start-Child Care partnership would be launched to expand learning opportunities for infants and toddlers.
The purpose of giving as many children as possible a jump start on learning isn't to have them reading by the time they are walking. The goal is to introduce every child to language, books, song and play so that their brain development — so crucial in the first few years — can thrive.
That's an investment that makes sense and that should be sustained for our children and grandchildren and for generations to come.

It's been almost a week since we ran HORIZON, the alternative E3 press conference co-presented by Venus Patrol & MOCAtv, and to be honest, I think we're all still recovering. Reaction to the conference has been more or less universally positive, and we're super grateful both to everyone who made it happen and for all the kind words that have been coming in over the past few days from outfits like Polygon & The Verge.
That also includes photographer Brian Erzen, who documented the entire conference as it was happening, which we're presenting here in slideshow form for those that couldn't make it the day of. Above is the group shot or HORIZON's presenters & participating developers that immediately followed the conference, and below the fold, a slew of other great photos of nearly everyone that took part.

One of the core tenets of Venus Patrol, and Offworld before it, and really basically all my work over the past several years is that bringing in artists of all stripes not traditionally immersed in the world of games can (and has) only ever resulted in some of the most sublime work videogames can offer.
That's only one sliver of why I think Honeyslug's Vita minigame collection Frobisher Says is so brilliant — there's also its self-awareness, and its irreverence, and its holistic approach to wringing out basically every absurd interaction you can manage with Sony's hardware — but it's a very non-trivial sliver.
For as much as I've been a fan of the art Honeyslug and cohort Dick Hogg have produced — going back to their 2010 Gamma IV contribution Poto & Cabenga (and going back even further to some of Hogg's work for UK design house Airside), and their gorgeous and still in-progress adventure game Hohokum — Honeyslug themselves have as voracious appetite for amazing art, something that shines through blindingly with the dream team of illustrators they assembled for each minigame in Frobisher Says.
And so, to get a better sense of how they hand-picked their lineup, I asked designer and programmer Ricky Haggett (above, right) and Hogg (above, left) to go game-by-minigame to give us the whos and hows and whys behind every artist chosen for what's become, hands-down, one of Sony's "coolest" games — in that old, original PlayStation Designers-Republic-doing-art-for-Wipeout sense of "cool".

And then, without warning, the wonderful news I have been waiting for quite literally since the launch of the PlayStation Vita itself: Sony's stateside blog has just announced that Frobisher Says, the minigame collection from Hohokum & Passing Time developers Honeyslug will finally be released in U.S. as a free download on October 23rd.
Though often compared to games like WarioWare for its fast-paced & fractured play, Frobisher's less a frenetic exercise in reaction time and more a petulant and self-aware tour through the Vita hardware itself, guided by the titular narrator, played — pitch perfectly — by Kevin Eldon, who you almost certainly know, even if you don't know you know (or, at least, you should know), from appearances in British comedies like Spaced, Black Books, Brass Eye, Jam & I'm Alan Partridge.
The game also contains a laundry list of amazing illustrators & fellow indie artists, from co-creator Dick Hogg (the same as behind the Venus Patrol Training Facility logo) to Johnny Ryan, David 'Swatpaz' Ferguson, Greg Wohlwend & Pixeljam.
Long story short, it's an essential download and the best reason to get re-acquainted with your Vita since Sound Shapes — expect to hear more here on it closer to its release.

Exciting news long hinted at that can finally be revealed: AdamAtomic's Capsule Capsule won't be the only Venus Patrol related activity that this year's GameCity7 festival. As announced on the festival blog this morning, the site will be taking over a large chunk of Nottingham's Old Market Square for an entire week, and converting it into The Venus Patrol Training Facility (featuring an amazing remixed logo by Dick Hogg).
The Training Facility, open October 20th through the 27th from 10am to 5pm, will house a number of games loosely bound together with a quasi-athletic theme from a handful of local favorites including QWOP & GIRP developer Bennett Foddy, Frobisher Says & Hohokum creators Honeyslug, and all of the games included in the recent Sportsfriends Quadrathalon.
Most excitingly, the Training Facility will house the public premiere of two games recently developed during a Danish countryside retreat controlled by trampoline jumps. The first will be The Proteus Frog God Mod, in which players instead experience Ed Key & David Kanaga's Proteus from the perspective of the magical twinkling frogs, co-created with George Buckenham.
We'll also be showcasing Get On Top, a new competitive trampoline game by Foddy & Joust creator Doug Wilson, where players take on the role of two sumo champs locking hands and trying to leap into the air and pin their opponent.
Videos of all of the games that will be available (and GameCity's pithy commentary on each) are below the fold, and more details can be found on GameCity7′s website (see also: the full schedule of all other activities coming to the festival). Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

but jin is great i think you just dont know how to use him
|#636 Subject: Right on. Posted: 10/18/2006 07:32:57
I bet he had a difficult time using Jin.
|#637 Subject: IS there a pulse amongst you? Posted: 11/30/2006 05:49:32
I myself could be considered a Tekken afficianado.
Jin's offensive game requires alot of patience and to be versed in both his attack parry (b+1+3_b+2+4) and the low parry they give everyone.
Jin has alot of moves that are perfect as punnishers for whiffed attacks and quick retaliations after parrying or blocking an unsafe move. Plus, if you can put some distance between yourself and the opponent, you can have a guard crushing move charged or hit for automatic counter-damage on some over-eager Bryan users.
Truthfully, however, Jin's old man Kazuya is just a little more versatile, IMO.
So who wants to discuss strats, Tekken 6, or simply share PSP ghost data?
|#638 Subject: Of course. Posted: 11/30/2006 07:13:49
All hail the KAZAMAness!
I know that his moves rock, coz' I'm a karateka, too. Yeah!
|#639 Subject: Apples and Oranges... Posted: 12/01/2006 02:32:27
Bah. I train in Tae Kwon Do, but I really suck with Hworang and Baek.
Speaking of Jin, there are a couple interesting moves you can do that aren't listed in the game's movelist for him:
I mentioned in my last post that, with enough distance to ready the move, you could create a guard crushing move on mid-high to high blocks. This is accomplished by entering Lingering Soul Omen stance while entering his normal charge. So you hold back and press two punches for the normal charge, and while in the charge animation quickly tap down, up, back, forward, and he'll go into a seperate animation that manifests a blue-white aura around his hands.
So b+1+2~d,u,b,f. From there you can do a few moves within a time frame. Even if the aura goes away. The guard crushing move would be the right uppercut (fNd,d/f+2), which produces kind of a Electric Wind Hook Fist effect.
We have any King players in this club?

I rarely play games these days.
I buy one or 2 game systems a decade.
The PS3 is my longterm system for this decade (I had a PS and sold it to someone).
I'm hyped for the new Tekken as arcade gaming is dying and I'm sick of the cabinet setups where I have to Fuuucking sit down! or always have to play smart ass kids.

I play T5 about 4x's a week with 4 other friends and we all are pretty decent (high intermediate range). You can hit Jin's Omen stance from most of his kicks (they must land/hit) by immediate holding d+(1+2) or down and both punches doesn't have same animation (blue hands) but same properties..he can also hit it from Kazama combos on final strike which DOESN'T require a landing blow!! sick ass Jin...give it a try.

Too much power on hits..and then Jin has that stupid omen stance that he can hit almost at will which increases his damage AND he gets unblockable combos from it! His parry and counter techniques are ridiculous as on his counter animation he can switch to any basic hit in his arsenal and it also allows him to duck under jabs and pulls him out of most sweep ranges. Most people dismiss Jin because he is so simple. Master Jin and you become almost unbeatable til a good Steve or Marduk player shows up.
|#649 Subject: An MMA Character? Posted: 01/16/2007 19:13:24
I usually play as King.
King has the best set of grappling moves
of any character in a fighting game.
Tekken consistantly adds unique characters
and the next one I believe they should add
is an MMA fighter.
Give him Judo Throws, Muay Tai Kick Boxing,
Submissions and other unique attacks.
With the popularity of UFC in the States
and Pride in Japan it would help sales of
the game as well.

Have you heard? The console version of Tekken 6 has been pushed back as far as mid to late 2008.
Which blows because I've got my mind set on not buying a PS3 until I can get it and Tekken 6 on the same day.
Anyone know of test locations for Tekken 6 arcade? Prefferably in America?

This old House Beautiful cover from 1935 illustrates the long popularity of backgammon!
Artist Ara Peterson also makes beautiful and colorful backgammon boards.
Acapulco backgammon - I like that cool style!
Monopoly may be on the agenda, too. Looks like a typhoon outside.
Great pictures. I played backgammon a lot as a child and I have no clue how to play anymore. Perhaps I need to find a board and play with my boys with boards this awesome. :)
I love Backgammon! I want a board like Jonathan Adlers and I want to play it in a pool!!
maybe we'll get a game or too in poolside during your visit! (not *in* the pool mind you- too chilly still for that!)
Hello Heather,
Backgammon is a great favorite of ours at Darlington House. Boy and I play regularly, and never tire of it. T. Anthony has attractive sets, too, in orange and olive green. Asprey has a gorgeous backgammon set, too, but it's breathtakingly expensive!
i am absolutely obsessed with backgammon....fantastic post! i want every set.....
Board games are so much fun!
Love the RL board, along with the David Hicks needlepoint. Not a bad idea!
Fantastic post! LOVE Backgammon!!
oh I wish I had one of these, i love Backgammon and looks so cool!
We played backgammon all the time as kids... and I just gave my nephew a nice game in a leather case. I never have played in the pool though... but would like to try!!
I am thankful to this day that this was my dad's game of choice when I was growing up. Whenever I visit, I'm always up for a game with him. These are all beautiful boards and a post that brought back a lot of great memories. Thanks!
WOW. Literally just yesterday I finally got around to reading my back stock of glossies and came across the William Morris set in Vogue and promptly wrote Geoffrey Parker down as a potential post topic. Great minds think alike! My favorite? The perfectly appropriate Slim Aarons photograph you found...talk about the good life! XOXO Katie
Backgammon in the pool..in Acapulco- now that's the life!
I love this ancient game, and really enjoy seeing the photos here. They bring a bit of nostalgia to my morning!
My son and I take a bag of black stones and white shells and big red plastic dice from Las Vegas to the beach her in Santa Barbara and he draws a 'board' in the sand... :D
Heather - when is your trip out west? The forecast here is 70 - 80 degrees for the next 2 weeks!
Fun post. Glad that you decided to stay inside--it really looked nasty in Manhattan yesterday. Mary
The Geoffrey Parker board is my fav too! Was supposed to be in NYC this weekend and postponed. So glad I did because the weather looks yucky!
Love this picture! I can picture myself just sitting there enjoying the sun and the temp. of the water, playing backgammon! le serveur, cocktail please?
Fun post! I'm going to go dig out my board right now!
Love this post on backgammon boards! My mother has a cute needlepoint board where the points are carrots and asparagus. Its so cute, and I think her mother made it! Backgammon boards really are decorative art at this point.
I've included backgammon boards in a few rooms I've done...and I'm only just now learning to play! these are all great inspiration, thanks for posting!
I have that travel roll up set! Its great for the beach.
Cribbage was my Dad's game of choice. Any cool cribbage sets out there?

Auditor General DePasquale Identifies Systemic Charter School Problems, $550,000 in Improper Lease Reimbursements
Calls on Department of Education, PA Coalition of Public Charter Schools to Resolve Issues
SCRANTON (March 14, 2013) – Auditor General Eugene DePasquale today called on the Department of Education and charter schools across the state to fix systemic problems identified in audits of six charter schools that collected more than $550,000 in improper lease reimbursements.
"With school budgets strained again this year, it is important that every education dollar possible goes to classroom learning," DePasquale said on the steps of the Lackawanna County Courthouse. "If the improper lease reimbursement problem is more widespread among the state's 157 brick-and-mortar charter schools it could be siphoning millions of dollars away from other education priorities."
The six charter school audits, and the amounts of improper lease reimbursements, announced today are:
The audits revealed that the charter schools were improperly reimbursed a total of more than $550,000 over several years through the state Department of Education's Charter School Lease Reimbursement program.
"Our audit found that these schools violated program parameters by filing for reimbursements for properties related to, or owned by, the charter schools," DePasquale said. "Auditors also discovered other issues with the charter schools including lack of proper staff certification, failure to file proper tax forms, possible violations of ethics laws and errors, or other problems, with recordkeeping.
"When I was sworn in as auditor general earlier this year, I said my approach to audits would be to focus on making realistic recommendations and developing workable solutions to protect taxpayer funds and ensure the viability of government programs," DePasquale said. "In that spirit, I called Gov. Corbett's Chief of Staff Stephen Aichele, state Education Secretary Ron Tomalis, and Robert Fayfich, executive director of the Pennsylvania Coalition of Public Charter Schools, to inform them of the audits. I hope that we can work together on a comprehensive solution to the issues raised in the reports."
The issue of questionable lease reimbursements by charter schools was first brought to light in 2010 when the Philadelphia controller's office reviewed the oversight of charter schools in that county. Based partly on the findings of that review, the Department of the Auditor General revised its auditing procedures to examine charter school lease agreements.
"The charter school law was established to provide students and parents with publicly funded education alternatives," DePasquale said. "The charter schools are funded by tuition payments from school districts and should be focused on providing the best possible education for students, not looking for additional revenue streams funded by taxpayers.
"I hope that by working more closely together, the Department of Education and the Pennsylvania Coalition of Public Charter Schools can develop a plan to head off similar improper lease reimbursements involving other charter schools in Pennsylvania so that we can ensure every dollar possible is going to classroom education."
Attached is a summary of the audit findings for each school; full copies of the audit reports are online at:

I was dashing out of the grocery store when something caught my eye: Right by the door, there was a tall display of soda bottles filled with something enticingly pink and a big word: "Antioxidant."
Antioxidant? That's a flavor now?
Actually, what I spotted was one of several flavors of Antioxidant 7UP - cherry, mixed berry or pomegranate, to be specific. It's not in little print on the back of the bottle, either. It's right on the front, in big letters.
I was so taken aback, I slowed down for a step or two. I was rushing through the store with my son, who was due back at college that afternoon.
Look at that, I pointed. Can you believe that?
He tilted his head and studied the bottles. Then he shrugged. "What's an antioxidant?"
An antioxidant? Well, it's .
Huh. You know, I finally admitted, I'm not sure. At work the next day, I had to look it up.
I found help from the well-known Dr. Andrew Weil: Antioxidants are micronutrients that block chemical reactions caused by oxidation in our cells. "Just as oxygen can cause metals to rust and corrode, it can pull electrons from organic molecules, rendering them defective and useless."
Since some of the cell damage might have something to do with age, that idea of rusting made more sense.
Even better, the Harvard School of Public Health website explained that antioxidants are part of the whole package of good stuff found in fruits, vegetables and whole grains that might help prevent diseases.
But you can't just gulp down doses of antioxidants and do any good. We've been studying them for a couple of decades and we still aren't sure if they prevent disease on their own or only when they're combined with other things.
In my studying, I discovered something else important about antioxidants: The Center for Science in the Public Interest filed a lawsuit against the Dr. Pepper Snapple Group in early November, claiming that not only does 7UP Antioxidant violate federal regulations on health claims, it's particularly misleading because it doesn't contain any fruit or juice. The added antioxidant is a little Vitamin E.
Antioxidant 7UP does have some beneficial effects, though. It may have improved my eyesight - I spotted it before it disappears from the market. Dr. Pepper Snapple says it's removing the product in 2013, although it says that has nothing to do with the lawsuit.
And it had the benefit of making me look up "antioxidant."
But maybe I'm a little smarter, too. Because I already knew putting them in soft drinks won't do any good at all.

C. James Fagan is a man of moustaches, mystery and many ideas. His work encapsulates the science geek in all of us and plays on universal themes like time and interconnectivity. He is one of those artists who spends painstaking hours, days, and weeks on a project but then purposely makes it look like he threw it together in about five minutes. He's an idea man, a fabricator of youthful wonder… and he is a big hit in Poland.
Tell us about your work…
Well fundamentally, nearly two years I decided I was going to take an exploration of the unseen world and esoteric concepts. And to do that I formed the Artistic Research and Specialist Experimentation Organization (A.R.S.E.O.).
What is your obsession with time and space all about?
Stems from two factors, its part of understanding of the world. And the fact that I'm a nerd. I've always been interested in science fiction and it all came about from the possibilities held within them.
What do you wish to express to your audience about the nature of art?
If there's anything in the work its the idea that possibly there is more than you actually see and that's how I feel about the world and that's how you can interact with it. I want people to engage the work and then develop their own ideals and beliefs for it.
What has been your most engaging project to date?
All of my projects have a longevity or life in them, they keep on going on. A current project I'm working on is an on-going search into the life of Phillip K. Dick which also led into my Under The Influence [2009] project which records what happens when I take drugs. I have a lot of those on-going projects that keep me engaged. All we have is now. Another continuing project is Time Traveler [2009]. I think there is a time when these projects meet at a certain point… but I'm waiting…
What are you waiting for?
The future… or the past. Of course the past is in the future, and then there's the eternal present.
Whats in the future of C. James Fagan?
I'm helping curate an event in February 2010 at the A Foundation in Liverpool and I have an exhibition in Poland in May 2010 with Arsenal Art Gallery in Poznan, Poland.

Hooksett council chooses a new vice chairman
Boswack, a councilor-at-large who said she wasn't even aware that she was going to be nominated, won the position in a close 4-3 vote over Comai, who represents District 6."I have not given this much thought, but I will serve if the council so wishes. We need to be role models and work toward building a community and fostering positive relationships and a civilized atmosphere. We will continue towards that," Boswack said.Comai, when presenting her case for another term as vice chairman, said her contributions to the council are tangible and important.
Jim Sullivan was the sole nominee as chairman and will continue in that role. Robert Duhaime of District 2 was named secretary.

Babylon Village is, without a doubt, one of the best places to work, live and grow up with its safe surroundings, great schools and beautiful businesses. We asked readers earlier this week how Babylon Village could take it one step further and improve even more in the new year.
Here are some of the ideas readers like you gave:
"I would enforce more of the laws that are in effect - for example, there is no overnight parking," wrote Debl, who noted their development looks like a used car lot much of the time. "I can understand when guests are over or a party is being held - but when the house is dark and there is no party going on – there should be no cars parked on the street, period!"
They added: "I personally almost got hit by an oncoming car because there were cars parked on both sides of the street and no where to go - streets are for driving, not parking."
Other readers echoed these thoughts on traffic and parking village-wide.
"Update the signs for parking," suggested Bob Kinnear. "Its only after you get a ticket that attention is brought to you. In general , the obvious ticketing of cars for the coffers of the village. I'm really starting to believe that it is a form of entrapment. The signs should be placed at the meters when you go to pay, this way all can see them."
Another reader, going simply by Paul suggested more traffic enforcement due to speeders within the village as well as a closer eye on the sanitation department.
"The garbage men are great, but a few of them need to be watched," he wrote. "Look around after Monday pick up and the cans are thrown all over and the amount of garbage that is all over our roads is inexcusable."

Great Hotel and Location A review of Hotel Residence Retezova
We stayed at the Residence Retezova for 5 days and throughly enjoyed our stay. The hotel is a boutique hotel and very charming. Each room is designed in a different theme. We stayed in the Madrid which was very spacious, clean, and well appointed. The bathroom was redone and modern although the shower was slightly on the smaller side. The location of the hotel is great. We were within walking distance to Charles Bridge and all other sites given its central location. The hotel staff was friendly and next door is the Ebel Cafe which serves a good and inexpensive breakfast. While staying in Prague, we suggest to avoid eating in the Old Town Square reguarly as you essentially pay for the view. Many exciting and charming sites to see and the hotel made for a relaxing, peaceful and quaint stay!

I put together a tutorial for a "love notes" door hanger on my blog and thought C&T blog readers might be interested in this fun and quick little project just in time for Valentine's Day.
I re-purposed some discontinued fabric sample swatches from the furniture store my husband and I own to create this little pocketed note holder. I leave for work before anyone else in my family is awake so love notes are a nice way to connect without being there. I know my two pre-schoolers just love it…and I think my husband does too, because I always write a little love note to him as well.

Italian in Old City
I always liked Spasso on Front St between Chestnut and Market Sts. It is well within your price range.
La Locanda del Ghiottone is another great spot (quite a bit of seafood, though). Citysearch is telling me that there's a $30 prix fixe available, and while I don't know about that, I do know that the regular menu should be about right where your price range is.
La Locanda del Ghiottone
130 N 3rd St
Philadelphia, PA 19106-1802
Phone: (215) 829-1465
re: Ali
Heh, I knew before I read your post that you'd recommend my favorite!
I LOVE La Laconda and they have very reasonable ($15 range) entrees. They also have really delicious (and complimentary) bread spreads, different each day, made from pulverized vegetables and olive oil.
If you want even cheaper, Gnocchi's entrees are around $10 and they're good too. More of a hike though -- South Street and ... 4th maybe.
Agreed, Spasso and Ghiotone.
re: saturninus
2nd vote for Radicchio. We've been to La Locanda and it's good but Radicchio is a step above IMHO. Plus they have outdoor seating and the windows open. It's really nice on warm evenings. Get the Dover sole, at $22. it is a bargain. The pastas are great as is the warm buffalo mozzarella with sauteed mushrooms.

(Editor's note: A version of this article ran last week with several mistakes. Upper Saucon Patch regrets these errors.)
The Upper Saucon Board of Supervisors voted against the township funding a $2.5 million conservation easement for Locust Valley Golf Course as a way to help the course avoid other kinds of development.
The township has considered this option since 2009 when it paid for an appraisal. Robert Ashford, owner of Locust Valley, gave a presentation to the board requesting it to fund the easement.
"It [golf course] would serve as a beautiful asset and a place of recreation for the community," said Ashford, who offered a 10 percent reduction in greens fees for township residents had the easement been accepted.
Ashford believed the easement would have been advantageous for the township as a whole, since it would have purchased the land's development rights for under half of the appraised value over a 10-year period. Ashford was also willing to make immediate short-term investments up to $800,000 if the board voted to fund the easement.
"In order for it to be successful, it needs a clubhouse with a small restaurant and continued maintenance improvements to compete against other local courses," said Ashford.
Supporters of Ashford's cause addressed the board, citing Ashford's history of success and the course's potential value as reasons why the board should fund the easement.
"Rob has been successful in everything he has done," said Joe Milutis, an adviser to Ashford. "He has the time, commitment and money to make it one of the finest courses in the Lehigh Valley."
Ultimately, the board disagreed with Ashford's assertions that the easement was the property's only chance at avoiding development.
"I think it's a false premise to say that the township needs to make a financial decision or the golf course will be developed," said Vice Chairman John Gilda. "Other conservatories might be interested."
