A dizzying array of colors and shapes await visitors to Savanna's annual Festival of Trees, sponsored by the Savanna Historical Society, with the participation of many local area businesses. Many businesses contributed decorated Christmas trees to the event and visitors are invited to vote for their favorite tree. The event runs from December 1st to December 9th. (PA photo/Michael Miller)
SAVANNA – A brief Savanna City Council meeting was highlighted by decisions on how to proceed with a potential contract between the City and iFiber, their current contract with Computer Dynamics and provisions for renewing its contract with The Meadows development group, at the Council's November 27, 2012 meeting.
The half hour meeting was attended by Mayor Larry Stebbins, Bill Scott, Bill Robinson, Peg Haffey, Jeff Griswold, Toni McCombie, Carol Fosdick and Lois Hunsaker, with Merle Long absent. City department heads Sheryl Sipe, Shawn Picolotti and John Lindeman also attended, with Police Chief Michael Moon absent.
Most of the action seems to have taken place at the Contracts and Lease Committee meeting directly preceding the Council meeting. Committee Chairman Griswold reviewed the results of that meeting, telling the Council that the Committee was recommending a counter offer to Computer Dynamics for use of the City's water tower of $500.00 a month for rent with a 3 percent annual increase.
Griswold also reported that the generator, HVAC and electrical services will need to be included in the grant for iFiber, and that someone in the City offices will look into this and potentially do a counter proposal.
Turning to The Meadows development group, Griswold said that in light of the apparent opening of the Thomson Correctional Center in the near future, the committee was recommending an extension of the current contract with the group. The City has entered into an agreement with the group wherein if ten houses were not constructed by April 9th of this year, the City was entitled to $2,000.00 for each house not constructed (only two have been built, leaving eight) or the remaining eight lots. Griswold told the Council that the Committee was recommending a reworking of the contract's exit clause so that the City could choose which lots they want in the event that the group is not able to follow through on the proposed construction targets. The entire Council seemed to agree that this should be an essential part of the contract, and they approved the entire report.
Three ordinances received their first (and only) reading, and were approved with a waiving of the normal second reading. Ordinance #2019, dealing with the raising of fees for after hours water service call labor charges from $30.00 to $60.00 was passed in this fashion. More fees are going up; Ordinance #2020 was passed, which will hike the fees for various dumpster, tire disposal and dump truck rental charges in the following manner; disposal of garbage bags would go from one dollar to two dollars, sofas would go from ten dollars to twenty dollars, chairs would go from six dollars to twelve dollars, bathtubs would go from ten dollars to twenty dollars, mattresses and box springs would both go from seven dollars to fourteen dollars, a small pick-up truck load would go from $20.00 to $30.00, a regular pick-up truck load would go from $30.00 to $40.00 and a dump truck/trailer load would go from $100.00 to $150.00. Some fees, such as those for disposal of carpets, carpet padding and farm and construction equipment, would be determined based on quantity or size. Other charges related to tires also saw a slight increase.
A portion of Charles Street will be vacated, thanks to the unanimous vote of the Council (Ordinance #2018, in it's second reading).
The Council bid farewell to the unofficial "chaplain" of the City, with Pastor Mike Wey, who had delivered the invocations before the Council meetings for several years, departing for another area. Wey said that it had been "an honor and a privilege to serve Savanna" and he said that when he wrote his book Savanna would figure prominently in it. Stebbins thanked Wey for his invaluable aid during the two flood events had hit the City in 2010 and 2011, and remarked that Wey had been "a very important person for the City of Savanna."

SPIRAL1: From R&D to the Commissioning of a Radioactive Ion Beam Production System
Antonio Villari,
Wednesday, January 16, 11:00 AM - Accelerator Physics Seminar
1221A Conference Room
The SPIRAL1 facility at GANIL-France, based on the ISOL (Isotope Separation On-Line) method, is operational and producing RIBs since 2001. These beams can be subsequently injected to a dedicated post-acceleration cyclotron for reaching energies between 1.7A and 25A MeV. Differently from the classical ISOL production scheme, SPIRAL1 allows using a variety of available combinations beam-target, due to the fact that the driver of SPIRAL1 (GANIL) is a Heavy Ion accelerator. This particularity allows SPIRAL1 to use the most resilient and efficient couple beam-target in most cases. After a brief overview of the project, this presentation will focus on the strategy, crucial decisions, schedule and risks taken during the realization of the RIB production system. This system involves a high temperature target and a compact ECR ion source for the production of multi-charged ion beams close-by the target. Being SPIRAL1 a French National facility, the reliability of the system, as well as safety and radio-protection issues are of paramount importance. All these aspects will be discussed during this presentation, mainly showing how R&D objects became reliable systems integrated in the facility. SPIRAL1 was built in 5 years.

Credit Card Execs Say Fed Rules Will Protect Consumers
Credit card executives meeting with President Barack Obama argued that rules proposed by the Federal Reserve are adequate to protect consumers, but Obama believes more should be done, the White House said Thursday.
"The industry laid out a case that what the Fed is doing is enough," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told a briefing following Obama's meeting with the credit card officials.
"The president believes that there are things that can be done and should be done beyond what the Fed has proposed to protect the consumers," he said.
Obama said Thursday his administration is determined to get a credit-card law that eliminates tricky fine print, sudden rate increases and late fees that give millions of consumers headaches.
"I trust that those in the industry who want to act responsibly will engage with us in a constructive fashion, and that we're going to get this done in short order," Obama said, delivering a pointed message to leading executives of credit-card issuing companies seated at his side.
Both the House and the Senate are pursuing bills to give consumers greater protections.
Obama said his economic advisers will examine the various proposals and work with Congress and the industry, but he made clear he intends to sign a law.
At issue is how to protect consumers, particularly in a severe recession, while not imposing the kind of rules that could make it harder for banks to offer credit or put credit out of reach for many borrowers.
Industry advocates are wary of those consequences and hopeful Obama will listen.
Obama outlined the principles he wants in any legislation: Protections so that consumers won't face sudden, surprising jumps in fees; requirements that companies publish their forms in plainspoken language, with no more fine print; the availability of customer-friendly comparison shopping on credit-card offers; and greater enforcement so that violators feel the "full weight" of the law.
The president also acknowledged the importance of credit cards; almost 80 percent of U.S. households have one.
Credit cards often serve as a vital source of liquidity, both for individuals and small businesses.
Executives from Bank of America, American Express, Citigroup, Wells Fargo , JPMorgan Chase, Capital One Financial, Visa Inc and MasterCard Inc were among thoseat the White House.
"The president believes new rules of the road for the credit card industry are needed," Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett said ahead of the president's planned session.
Obama and some congressional leaders are particularly focused on what they consider to be abusive and deceptive practices that squeeze people into paying much higher fees or interest rates than anticipated.
Both the House and Senate are considering a credit card "bill of rights" to limit the ability of credit-card companies to raise interest rates on existing balances and to require greater disclosure.
At issue is how to protect consumers, particularly in a severe economic downturn, while not imposing the kind of rules that could make it harder for banks to offer credit or that put credit out of reach for many borrowers.

HOUSTON, Texas -- The twin sister of a missing Atlanta woman looked into a news camera Sunday night and pleaded with her sister to call.
"Everyone just wants to know that you're OK," Catherine Erickson said.
Her sister, Victoria Moon Erickson, 31, vanished Jan. 21 while travelling through Houston.
Catherine said during a news interview that Vicky may have just wanted to get away, to be alone.
That wouldn't be unusual, she said.
But she said Vicky has never left without telling anyone.
Police in Houston are not ruling out kidnapping.
Vicky had been travelling the country on a personal adventure, and writing her blog, called "Permission to Heal."
"It's not unlike her to want to get away for awhile," Catherine said.
Catherine is in Houston to help search for Vicky, and she spoke of how Vicky is a committed vegan and an enthusiastic vegan chef.
Most recently Vicky was helping in the kitchen of a raw-food restaurant in Houston.
Suddenly, she disappeared -- taking nothing with her.
"No car, no cell phone, no laptop, a majority of clothes and shoes left behind," Catherine said.
She also left her dog behind.
Catherine said maybe Vicky just wanted to "go off the grid" as she put it -- one more adventure.
Their foster brother, Paul Samford, posted on Reddit, asking for people to help look for her. And he said during a phone interview that he's always been worried about Vicky travelling alone.
"When she and I would talk about any of those kind of things, I would let her know that I didn't think that was the safest, greatest idea. But she's fearless. She's just fearless, she always has been."
And not knowing anything about Vicky's disappearance is agony for the family.
"We just want to know that you're safe and you're welcome back any time," Catherine said into the camera, beginning to cry. "I love you, okay?"
Catherine and Vicky will turn 32 on Tuesday, January 29.
Investigators in Houston are looking into everything -- people Vicky has met on her travels, possible issues with her health and medication. There is no end to online speculation about the case, but so far there is very little definitive information about what happened.
Catherine said she is convinced Vicky can survive and thrive in any adverse situation.
"One of the first things that came to mind were her survival skills," Catherine said. "My sister's the strongest person I've ever had the privilege of being close to."

How Do You Know It's Time to Let Go?
Why do patterns hold on?
The patterns of identification that limit us weren't always limiting. They were adaptive.
If you grew up in a threatening environment, learning how to fly under the radar was adaptive. Playing small and keeping quiet protected you.
The pattern protected you.
But your life has changed. You've matured. The world you live in is not that of your childhood. But the pattern persists.
It doesn't have any other choice. Because the pattern is not self-aware. It cannot turn around in consciousness and witness itself. It needs you to do that.
And as long as you are unconsciously identified with the pattern, you can't witness it.
Unobserved patterns continue to generate thoughts, speech, actions, and results that conform with the needs of the pattern. Not the needs of your life-as-a-whole. Yes, the pattern cannot embrace your life-as-a-whole. Its horizon of awareness is limited, focused on its own emotional needs.
And, as long as you don't witness patterns—the pattern's limited horizon of awareness will continue to define your life.
Building your witnessing capacity is the key that opens the door of freedom.
Through the practice of meditation, you build witnessing capacity. As you practice, you observe how the mind drifts from the object of meditation . . . and re-attaches itself to the familiar patterns.
But rather than becoming lost in that identification, you return your attention to the object of meditation.
Rather than allow the mind to drift into habitual patterns of thought and emotion, you re-center gently, gently, gently on the object of meditation.
What are you really doing?
You're cultivating witnessing capacity.
As your witnessing capacity develops, your identification with patterns releases. The consciousness and energy that has been fragmented and spent fueling the patterns is freed. In that letting go, you re-discover yourself as freedom, as consciousness.
You are not a pattern of consciousness—you are, fundamentally, consciousness itself.
With each meditation, you become more and more capable of witnessing the patterns and more and more able to rest in the un-patterned presence.
So, why do patterns hold on?
Because they are waiting for you to witness and infuse them with loving awareness.

One Response to "How Do You Know It's Time to Let Go?"
Significantly beautiful topic…
"Patterns" originate within us as coping mechanisms or emotional survival strategies… but then outlive their usefulness and become rigid confining psychological chains or boxes.
However, meditation is not by any stretch of the imagination the only way to diffuse patterns. Emotional patterns may be discharged, defused or released through deliberately expressing or triggering natural physiological emotional release mechanisms, e.g., crying, laughing, trembling, raging, yawning, shaking, stretching, etceteras. Try it you might like it!

Senior Republican Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) called for the resignation of Justice Department Criminal Division head, Lanney Breuer, after Breuer denied knowing details of the controversial "Fast and Furious" operation. The Washington Post reports:
The "Fast and Furious" program was meant to track guns as they made their way south of the border to senior members of Mexican drug cartels after being bought by straw buyers. However, ATF agents rarely pursued the weapons after they were bought.Grassley said Breuer hurt his own credibility by initially denying details of the program.
Breuer might be wise to consider Grassley's request in light of the debacle his Criminal Division made out of the failed Espionage Act prosecution against National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower Thomas Drake.
When the Drake indictment was handed down, Breuer wildly overstated the case against Drake in a Justice Department press release:
Our national security demands that the sort of conduct alleged here – violating the government's trust by illegally retaining and disclosing classified information – be prosecuted and prosecuted vigorously. . .
It turned out after the Drake prosecution collapsed under the weight of the truth in the face of adverse rulings in court and almost universally-negative media coverage, that none of the information Drake was accused of illegally retaining was classified. In fact, the alleged classification in the Drake case was so offensive to former G.W. Bush administration classification czar William J. Leonard, that Leonard filed a complaint seeking discipline for the NSA and Justice Department officials responsible for the improper classification.
Lest we think Breuer was simply ignorant of the mess his Division made of the Drake case, remember that Breuer circled the wagons around lead Drake prosecutor William Welch II even after Justice Department's glaring defeat, telling Washingtonian:
I've grown to very much rely on his judgment, his acumen, his intellect, and his sense of justice, which I think is terrific.
A formal federal court-ordered investigation into prosecutorial misconduct by Welch in the botched case against the late Alaska Senator Ted Stevens did nothing to deter Breuer's unconditional support. In Breuer's own words:
The fact there's an allegation in and of itself is insufficient . . . In my mind, it would be absolutely unjust and crazy at this stage not to continue to let Bill Welch be the great prosecutor he is.
Breuer's assessment that it would be "crazy" to keep Welch out of the courtroom rings especially hollow considering that the investigator concluded that the Welch-led Stevens case was:
. . . permeated by the systematic concealment of significant exculpatory evidence.Even the conservative Washington Post editorial board recommended that the Justice Department refer the Stevens case lawyers to the bar association for "disbarment or other punishments." Yet, Breuer relies on Welch's "judgment," "acumen," "intellect," and "sense of justice."
Beyond the Drake case and blind support for Welch, Breuer appeared on 60 Minutes last Sunday scrambling to explain why the Justice Department has failed to prosecute a single official involved in the devastating home mortgage crisis. Also featured in the segment was Eileen Foster, a whistleblower and former high-ranking official at Countrywide Financial Corp., the home loans behemoth, and then Bank of America (BofA) after its purchase of Countrywide in July 2008. Foster is now a client of GAP.
GAP Senior Counsel Richard Condit described the importance of the case: "Eileen Foster's case and those that will follow provide penetrating insight into how the home mortgage crisis arose and was readily accepted by corporate cultures that cared more about short-term gain than long-term disaster."
One thing is clear, with Breuer at the helm supervising Espionage Act cases against so-called "leakers," who are more often than not whistleblowers, the Justice Department's Criminal Division has its priorities way out of whack.

The courses were phenomenal. The housing was great, the apartment was so nice. On a scale of 1-10, I would give the Program an 11. Stockholm is magnificent and the program really allowed me to explore the city in depth. I loved everything about Stockholm and The Swedish Program. I could not imagine a better study abroad experience.
Robert Harwell
University of Pennsylvania
Stockholm is, without doubt, one of the most beautiful cities in the world. The Old Town is particularly spectacular, and walking around the city's waterways and parks is a glorious way to spend a weeklong stretch of European summer. This lovely, lively city, with its maritime bent and international flavor...
Lonely Planet
London's nightlife, Paris' fashions, and New York's panache have nothing on this Baltic Sea beauty. Say Stockholm and you're saying style.
The Chronicle
Strong and confident, equally trendy and historic, and achingly beautiful.
National Geographic Traveler, Places in a Lifetime
Stockholm seems to have it all beautiful architecture, excellent museums, and a setting amidst picturesque little islands that is simply a dream.
Sacred Earth Travel
No longer synonymous with the Nobel Prize...Stockholm is emerging as a capital of cool, and its name is now increasingly bandied about in the same breath as London, Tokyo, Paris, and New York
There is something about Stockholm. It's an easy place to love. Everyone speaks English and it is a manageable city with the highest density of galleries and museums in the world. Sweden is a trendsetter in clothing and home design, inspired by the surrounding natural beauty. You can't go far in the city without seeing water. Built on 14 islands, Stockholm's water is so clean you can actually swim in the lakes surrounding the city center.
Live Well
The Swedish Program was the time of my life. Stockholm is a beautiful city and it was the perfect place to study abroad.
Michael Kellett
Amherst College
Studying in Stockholm was stimulating, both intellectually and culturally. It was a valuable, eye opening experience that I will never forget.
George Whiteley
Hamilton College
Amazing! Right balance of academics as well as time to explore Stockholm. Study abroad with the Swedish Program was better than I had even imagined. I got to live in a beautiful city, take interesting courses, and meet a great group of friends that I will stay in touch with the rest of my life.
Alison Weisburger
Bowdoin College
The Swedish Program allowed me to really discover Stockholm, to explore the culture, meet people, and learn the language. No matter where I go or what I do, I will always carry a piece of Stockholm with me.
Lauren Ellen McCann
Wesleyan University
It was the best experience. I can't imagine not having done this Program. The Swedish Program was the best four months in my life.
Leah Rosenbaum
Brown University
I had a great semester in Stockholm. I am so happy I chose it. The classes were interesting and they really did a good job of incorporating culture into the course
Emily Chapin
Hamilton College
I can't thank the Program enough for giving me this experience. It gave me a new perspective on the world, on America, and on myself. I will forever turn to this semester with the Swedish Program for unforgettable memories.
Melanie Goldberg
Colgate University
The Swedish people are warm, open minded, and effecient, yet free-spirited too.........There is an authentic generiosity that is hard to photograph and in fact is hard to find anywhere else on
the planet.
Condé Nast Traveler
My experience in Sweden was amazing, unforgettable, even life-changing. Stockholm really felt like home when it was time to leave and I can't wait to return in the future. I think I found
my "soul city."
Talyor Hamrick
Davidson College
The Swedish Program is different from any other study abroad program I've heard of. I got to do things that I never though I'd and I would not have changed a thing about my semester. It was amazing and unforgettable!
Abigal Hepworth
Tufts University
Getting to call Stockholm home for four months was a once in a lifetime experience that I would recommend to anyone. From the people to the fashion, to the architecture, it's the coolest place I have ever been.
Amy Beihl
Colgate University
The Swedish Program created a warm, and welcoming atmosphere with friendly administrators, professors, and fantastic contact and host families.
Jamie Song
Harvard University
I loved my time in Stockholm. I made great friends both inside and outside the Program. Not only did I get to live in a beautiful, clean, safe, and culturally rich city, but I also had opportunities to travel elsewhere in Sweden. By the end of four months, I felt like a real member of my host family and a real student in Stockholm.
Sarah Watson
Bates College
The Swedish Program is an opportunity for American students to participate in one of Europe's most prestigious academic institutions while experiencing the rich culture and life in the beautiful city of Stockholm. It sounds too good to be true, but my fantasy semester abroad has undeniably shaped my growth as a student and as a citizen of the world.

Affinity Group Mission
There are several PIs affiliated with BRI who actively perform computational research, however, there is currently no forum available for them to meet to exchange ideas, to inform each other of research developments in their labs, to get updated about the new developments in the field, and to promote interaction or collaboration among the labs. The goal of this affinity group is to try and to fill this void, to help promote a community of computational neuroscience researchers with a more vigorous interaction within the community at UCLA as well as a more active interaction with other computational neuroscience researchers in Southern California.
We plan to have one meeting per month. About half of these meetings will include a seminar given by an invited speaker from the local Southern California area, and about half of the meetings will involve presentation of a research project by one of the affinity group members. All presentations will be followed by discussion.
The presentations by invited speakers will serve to update our affinity group members about new advancements in the field, and to create connections with relevant researchers in neighboring universities. The presentations by the affinity group members will serve to inform the group about the research work of our colleagues, to provide opportunities to get valuable feedback, and opportunities for collaboration between labs.

Meningitis in Children CausesBacteria and viruses cause the great majority of meningitis disease in infants and children. The most serious occurrences of meningitis are caused by bacteria; viral-caused meningitis is common but usually is less severe and, except for the very rare instance of rabies infection, almost never lethal. However, both bacterial and viral types of the disease are contagious. Meningitis normally occurs as a complication from an infection in the bloodstream. A barrier (called the blood-brain barrier) normally protects the brain from contamination by the blood. Sometimes, infections directly decrease the protective ability of the blood-brain barrier. Other times, infections release substances that decrease this protective ability. Once the blood-brain barrier becomes leaky, a chain of reactions can occur. Infectious organisms can invade the fluid surrounding the brain. The body tries to fight the infection by increasing the number of white blood cells (normally a helpful immune system response), but this can lead to increased inflammation. As the inflammation increases, brain tissue can start swelling and blood flow to vital areas of the brain can decrease. Meningitis can also be caused by the direct spread of a nearby severe infection, such as an ear infection (otitis media) or a nasal sinus infection (sinusitis). An infection can also occur any time following direct trauma to the head or after any type of head surgery. Usually, the infections that cause the most problems are due to bacterial infections.

Jeff Smith, NBC 5 News
Dallas-Fort Worth is one of six cities putting in applications to host Super Bowl LII in 2018 according to a NFL.com report.
Dallas-Fort Worth is one of six cities that have put in applications to host Super Bowl LII, the National Football League said Tuesday.
Miami, New Orleans, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Tampa, and Dallas-Fort Worth are the six hopefuls who'd like to bring the 2018 Super Bowl to their areas, according to the NFL.com report.
The Dallas Cowboys wouldn't confirm the report and only said they weren't making a presentation on Tuesday.
The NFL said the Super Bowl Advisory Committee is reviewing potential candidates this week, on Monday and Tuesday, from each of the six cities at the NFL Fall Meeting in Washington D.C.
According to the league, the field will be narrowed down to two finalists on Tuesday before the final vote for the host is cast at the 2014 NFL Spring Meeting.
North Texas hosted Super Bowl XLV in 2011 where record winter weather covered roads with ice and snow, temporary seats erected in then-named Cowboys Stadium were deemed unsafe and lead to some attendees unable to see the game, as well as other issues.
Super Bowl LII is scheduled for 2018. Prior to that, the Super Bowl will be held at the following locations:

June 2005 -- With well over 250,000 sheep and lambs lost to predators each year, the Wildlife Services (WS) program of the U.S. Department of Agriculture?s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service is vital to the economic survival of the sheep industry. This is a statement made by American Sheep Industry Association (ASI) President Paul Frischknecht, in his testimony to both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives appropriations subcommittees for agriculture.
The value of sheep and lambs lost to predators and predator-control expenses are second only to feed costs for sheep production. Costs associated with depredation currently exceed the industry's veterinary, labor and transportation costs.
Changing societal values, reflected in changes in federal and state laws and regulations, have made it more difficult for livestock producers to implement their own predation-management programs. As a result, governmental programs must assume more of this responsibility. The federal agency with statutory authority to cooperate with other entities in programs designed to mitigate wildlife damage is the WS program.
WS cooperative nature has made it the most cost-effective and efficient program within the federal government, in the areas of wildlife management and public health and safety. WS has more than 2,000 cooperative agreements with agriculture, forestry groups, private industry, state game and fish departments, departments of health, schools and county and local governments to mitigate the damage and danger that the public's wildlife can inflict on private property and public health and safety.
Economics of Predation Management
?An analysis of 1998 data shows that for every dollar spent for predation management, $3 worth of livestock was saved. When you put that in today?s values for livestock, every federal dollar spent on predation management results in $10.84 in livestock saved, conservatively, that is $97.5 million in livestock saved,? comments Frischknecht.
Once cooperative funding is included with federal funds, the benefit-cost ratio is $4.87-to-$1. In addition, the value of livestock saved is much greater in rural economies than any other type of economic development. Livestock dollars, that would have been lost without adequate predation management, generates an additional three-fold increase in non-agricultural economic activity in rural America. The total economic activity ? both agriculture and non-agriculture sectors ? generated by predation management is $390.2 million.
Emerging Issues
Additional issues are emerging in the West that will challenge the federal WS program.
Without additional federal funding to support existing western livestock protection programs, predation management expertise will be lost and livestock grazing in some areas will be jeopardized.
Industry Request
ASI strongly supports the FY 2005 appropriations for WS operations and methods development programs, particularly as related to livestock protection. The industry requests the committee to restore the funding levels that have been decreased in the Administration?s FY 2006 budget and approve an increase to the regional livestock-protection program of WS operations of $9 million.
?Without additional funding to support livestock protection programs, predation-management expertise will be lost and livestock grazing in some areas will be jeopardized,? concludes Frischknecht.

What If Junk Food Was Regulated Like Alcohol?CHARLOTTE, NC- What if your favorite fatty snack was taxed higher or even banned from your closest convenience store? Researcher Deborah Cohen and her partner, Lila Rabinovich, at the RAND Corportation want the same rules for alcohol control applied to bad food. "Many people want to limit what they consume, but they cannot because our environment serves them to much, they put it in our faces and we're practically assaulted by food," said Cohen, senior natural scientist at the RAND Corporation. Cohen proposes that, like alcohol, lawmakers limit where junk food is sold. Taking it out of places like bookstores and hardware chains. "I think it might be too much, too extreme. Kinda would inconvenience a lot of people. Like, I would be upset if they moved Oreos to a different store and I couldn't buy them at Harris Teeter," said Mitchell Johnson, an Uptown Charlotte resident. Food companies pay big bucks to make sure you see and buy their stuff. Lawmakers in California have taken note of this, banning the sell of alcohol anywhere near cash registers. That's what researchers want to do with junk food. "I think it would help with obesity in children because if they go in stores, that's the first thing they see and that's the first thing they'll grab," said Angel Johnson, a North Charlotte resident. Cohen and her partner also propose limiting portion sizes. "We can always count on getting 12 ounces when we ask for beer, but we don't have the same situation with foodl," said Cohen. On top of that, they want to outlaw drive-throughs so you have to get out of your car to get a burger and fries. No state lawmakers have considered the junk food proposal. The RAND researchers say that's because our society underestimates the power of food. |
