Twinkies are being sold on the Internet like exquisite delicacies.
Hours after Twinkie-maker Hostess announced its plans to close its doors forever, people flocked to stores to fill their shopping baskets with boxes of the cream-filled sponge cakes and their sibling snacks — Ding Dongs, Ho Hos and Zingers.
Late Friday and Saturday, the opportunists took to eBay and Craigslist. They began marketing their hoard to whimsical collectors and junk-food lovers for hundreds — and in some cases — thousands of dollars. That's a fat profit margin, when you consider the retail price for a box of 10 Twinkies is roughly $5.
Greg Edmonds of Sherman, Texas is among those who believe Twinkies are worth more now that Hostess Brands Inc. has closed its bakeries. He lost his job as a sales representative eight months ago, so he is hoping to make some money feeding the appetites of Twinkie fans and connoisseurs
After spending a couple hours driving around to stores Friday, Edmonds wound up with 16 boxes of Twinkies and Ding Dongs. He started selling them Saturday on eBay, advertising three boxes for a hefty price of $300.
"I could really use the extra money since I'm unemployed," Edmonds, 50, said. "I figure I better sell them pretty quickly because I am not sure how long this novelty is going to last."
Contrary to popular belief, Twinkies don't last forever. Most bought in stores Friday carry an expiration date of early December,
If buyers don't bite, Edmonds isn't sure what he will do with his supply. He doesn't even like them. "I do like to have a Ding Dong, every once in a while though," he said.
John Stansel of Tampa, Fla. blanches at the thought of eating a Twinkie. He's a self-described health nut.
Yet he, too, rummaged shelves late Friday at a neighborhood Walgreens and then again early Saturday at Target and a grocery store. He spent about $100 for 20 boxes of Twinkies and Ding Dongs. His goal: sell them for about $1,000 and put the money to good use.
"Maybe I will hire a personal trainer for myself or go do some shopping at Whole Foods or donate the money to a charity to fight diabetes," Stansel, 40, said. "No matter what, I figure I am getting sugar off the streets."
Although Hostess is shutting down, it's still possible that Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Ho Hos could make a comeback. That's because Hostess is planning to sell its brands and other assets at an auction to be overseen by a U.S. bankruptcy judge in New York. Several potential buyers could emerge for Twinkies, particularly with the recent outpouring of affection.
A hearing on Hostess' liquidation request is scheduled for Monday morning.
Not all online sellers are demanding top dollar. Some boxes are being listed at $5 to $20. Others are willing to barter. "I am willing to trade a box for some good microbrew. A real quality six pack," offered a thirsty New York seller on Craigslist.
Despite his disdain for junk food, Stansel confesses he won't sell a few of his individually wrapped Twinkies. He plans to give them to his nostalgic friends and family as stocking stuffers for Christmas.

BMX riders in action.
Cycling - BMX
One of the most thrilling and action-packed of all the sports at the Olympic Games, BMX racing guarantees plenty of drama.
In such an explosive sport, where a race can be over in around 30 to 40 seconds, making a good start and achieving the 'holeshot' is crucial.
This term refers to the rider who holds the lead at the first corner and that, along with avoiding the crashes that have become such a feature of the sport, is vital in a successful race strategy.
With so many twists and turns, overtaking can be difficult, and so the rider who leads early on tends to have a significant advantage and goes on to win more often than not.
Those riders who attempt an overtaking manoeuvre run the risk of crashing out - although in such a high-drama sport that is over so quickly, taking a chance can sometimes pay dividends.
Given the speeds involved and the fact that eight riders race wheel-to-wheel around a tight course of around 350 metres, the likelihood of seeing a dramatic coming-together is high.
When the sport made its Olympic debut at Beijing 2008, for example, the story of both the men's and women's finals centred around two crashes.
Latvia's Maris Strombergs took gold in the men's race, but only after three riders crashed out on the second corner.
In the women's final, Great Britain's Shanaze Reade tried to pass eventual gold medal winner Anne-Caroline Chausson on the last corner but clipped the French rider's back wheel and was sent tumbling out of the race.
Such drama and excitement makes BMX racing one of the most popular sports on the Olympic Games schedule with spectators.
Bicycle motocross (BMX) was inspired by the motorised version of the sport, motocross, which became popular in the USA in the 1960s and 1970s.
The profile of the sport grew over the next two decades and in 1993 BMX was fully integrated into the International Cycling Union (UCI) programme, before first appearing in the Olympic Games 15 years later.
The structure of a BMX competition involves an individual time trial seeding round, followed by a series of heats in which riders aim to be one of the 16 semi-finalists.
The two semi-finals see eight riders battle for points across three races to try to qualify for the medal showdown.

I still dont get why this one was skipped it had nothing to do with jynx at all
They probably figured this episode had heavy references to the Jynx Contest, (i.e., May missing the ferry to Pacidfiglog Town), and since they were skipping the Contest, they had to skip this one too because it was too heavily connected to it.Originally Posted by Blazken
Which doesn't make much sense when you think about it, but this is KidsWb we're talking about.
But then they would sikp wynut ep two
Well as I said, KidsWb makes no sense.Originally Posted by Blazken
I really have to say I liked this episode alot. Ash is such a sweetheart to tell May to go on without them. May is so noble in keeping her promise to her mother. So sweet!
My ideal battle ever!
Uh, folks, has it occurred to anyone that the donphan episode was delayed because of the foreshadowing that Phanpy's rejoining the show in what is now TWO WEEKS? The gap would have been much wider if they'd run it at the right time.

And they couldn't have just aired it like the Japanese did, foreshadowing Phanpy before the GF and Hoenn league?
KidsWB wouldn't delay an episode for the sake of Phanpy. Phanpy is in the opening you know, that's enough for the little kids to know it's returning to his team.
It was because of Jynx in the Contest, that's the real reason.
What about what I remember Dogasu mentioning, that it could be because of Sweeps Month, and they just wanted to skip to the all-purpose merchandising Munchlax? You know what they say, blame the Munchlax!Originally Posted by CyberCubed
I have to say, I did enjoy this episode. It had a great mix of comedy and drama, which is always a plus with me. My two cents:
-- I liked Team Rocket calling out all their pokemon to protect them, then Wobbuffet gets called first to protect and goes flying before he can counter. LOL His unusually hesitant "Wobbuffet" at the end of the scene was interesting for a change.
-- Yay, another anti-boss fantasy. I liked James's deadpan "No more bowling alley either" at the end of the first fantasy.
-- Team Rocket getting flattened was LOL hilarious. I liked Ash's reaction when he found them frozen too.
-- Chimecho was hilarious in this episode. I liked also when Jessie was telling the pokemon to protect them James tells Chimie that it doesn't have to.
-- Awww, it was so nice to see Snorunt again. Not that Glalie doesn't kick butt in battle, but Snorunt was just so adorable. They should have introduced it sooner on the show.
-- May was also terrific in this episode. I liked that she was dedicated to making sure her brother was safe. The flashback to "There's No Place Like Hoenn" was nice too. I'm glad they kept continuity by having May only mention traveling with Ash, since Brock hadn't rejoined the group yet.
-- Oh yeah, and the donphan story was interesting.
Overall, 8.5/10. At least it was worth the wait.

Hands down my favorite part of the show ^^ It was pretty good for a filler before the contest. I couldn't imagine it being better than it was when I saw it.-- Chimecho was hilarious in this episode. I liked also when Jessie was telling the pokemon to protect them James tells Chimie that it doesn't have to.
A good episode, it was nice to see the Donphan mating season and that the males test their strength against each other just like real life elephants. You now Ash and the gang definitely seem to encounter alot of Shiny Pokemon during their journeys, it's alot more than what i've encountered. It was funny to see Chimecho play a prank on Jessie and Meowth with Astonish instead of using Heal bell, and grats to Snorunt for learning Ice Beam it should definitely come in handy when the Hoen League Championships come around.

Great episode. but i didn't love the animation, awful.
And the shining Donphan was sweet.

Too much love and mating going on between the Donphan for my tastes to be honest. I didn't like how Donphan was featured in this episode and not another more romantic Pokemon. I did appreciate the Shiny Donphan though since Shiny Pokemon are rare to see in the anime. Episodes that feature Shinies are always welcomed haha. This episode seemed a tad too filler-y so it gets a 3/10.

After watching this episode, I was thinking "Well, May is going to miss the Grand Festival(?) for sure. She just messed up her chances at becoming a top coordinator."
Also, to me, the brown Donphan in this episode was clearly a female, not a shiny Donphan.
Gen. 6 winning teams:
, , , Clawitzer, Delphox, Xerneas
, , , Avalugg, Talonflame, Greninja
This episode was ok... It was cool to see a shiny Donphan for the 1st time. It was cool to see the hard-trying male Donphan finally get accepted by its chosen mate. Meowth's Boss Dream was odd and funny to see. Chimecho's Wobbuffet-like face during the blast off was funny.
Nothing beats an advanceshipping episode right after a contest shipping episode to confuse the fanbase... ^.^

Another boring episode. I was not interested in the Donphan love problem. And, well, I guess that's all that really happened in this episode.

Found September 18, 2012 on
Crossover Chronicles:
Jeremy Lin was sleeping on a couch as he captured the NBA world's attention last season with the New York Knicks.
Despite inking a $25 million contract to bring Linsanity to Houston next season, he has not forgot what made him succesful.
Some high profile athletes sleep in hyperbaric chambers. Jeremy Lin sleeps best on couches. Which is why he asked Chandler Parsons if he could crash on his couch this weekend in Houston.
Parsons tweeted the following screen shot, which read:
"Sorry to bug u but u think i could crash on ur couch tmrw night until my furniture comes in?"
Something tells me it is possible that Lin does not have his furniture scheduled to deliver until August.
After Parsons posted their text message conversation on Twitter, Lin responded by saying the following:
"So answer the question...can i? Haha."
No word on whether or not Jeremy did sleep on Chandler's couch this weekend or not.

PCRM Lawsuit Successfully Challenges Tyson Advertising Campaigns
WASHINGTON—Tyson Foods has pulled a series of misleading ads claiming its chickens are "heart-healthy," "natural," and "naturally wholesome," in the face of a lawsuit by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) charging the poultry giant with fraudulent advertising.
PCRM filed its complaint against Tyson Foods, Inc., in the Superior Court of California, San Francisco, last year, noting that Tyson had engaged in deceptive advertising practices by falsely representing the health and safety of its chicken products.
"The sad truth is that our growing appetite for chicken is a major contributor to the epidemic of heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and other diet-related diseases sweeping this country," said PCRM Senior Counsel Daniel Kinburn. Americans currently eat more than one million chickens per hour.
Kinburn noted that people eating chicken are at risk of heart disease, stroke, and even death because of high levels of cholesterol and saturated fat found in all chicken products—hardly "heart-healthy."
Similarly, claims that commercially raised chickens are "natural" or "naturally wholesome" are inaccurate. Tyson, like most major poultry concerns, raises chickens specifically bred for abnormally fast growth—a typical "broiler-fryer" chicken goes from egg to market in only six weeks—treats them with antibiotics, and keeps them in crowded, filthy, and inhumane conditions.
PCRM agreed to settle its suit after a Tyson representative advised the court that it had decided to discontinue the ads in question and had no intention of running them in the future. In response, PCRM agreed to dismiss its suit voluntarily, while retaining the right to file a new action should Tyson renege on its agreement.
Tyson Foods, based in Arkansas, is the world's largest producer of poultry products, producing annual sales in excess of $10 billion.
Founded in 1985, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is a nonprofit health organization that promotes preventive medicine, conducts clinical research, and encourages higher standards for ethics and effectiveness in research.

About the Division of Immunizations
The Division of Immunizations, in the Pennsylvania Department of Health, focuses on the reduction or elimination of vaccine-preventable diseases. The Division provides vaccine for specific diseases that affect infants, children, adolescents and adults. These vaccines are available through both public and private health care providers. In addition to providing vaccines, the Division offers educational programs, ongoing disease surveillance systems, enforcement of school immunization regulations, disease investigations, assessment of immunization coverage, immunization registry and tracking systems, outbreak control interventions, and special efforts directed toward the prevention of hepatitis B disease. The primary goal of the Division is to achieve maximum immunization coverage in order to eliminate the occurrence of vaccine preventable diseases in Pennsylvania.
Working Together
The Division works closely with the Department of Public Welfare (DPW) and their Medicaid providers for provision of vaccines to eligible children and also to maximize immunization levels in day care facilities licensed by DPW. The Division has partnered with the Pennsylvania Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (PA AAP) and the Pennsylvania Medical Society (PMS) on professional education efforts, immunization assessment and general improvement of vaccine coverage in the private medical sector. The Division of Immunizations works to increase public awareness by providing educational materials and training opportunities to all vaccine providers and interested parties through partnerships with the statewide coalition, the
Pennsylvania Immunization Coalition (PAIC)
and the
Pennsylvania regional coalitions
. The Division's interaction with Women, Infants and Children Nutrition Program (WIC) impacts upon children by promoting immunizations. A partnership is in place with 389 WIC agencies statewide to do immunization assessment and referral at each encounter. Close cooperation with the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) over a long period of time has resulted in high immunization levels of school students and a near elimination of disease incidence in this population. Hospital-based maternity education programs have boosted the knowledge of immunization by new mothers. Tot Trax, a hospital-based new parent education and newborn tracking system, is a statewide initiative. The Division of Immunizations has partnered with the Pennsylvania Forum for Primary Care to enhance immunization efforts throughout the state with Migrant/Community health centers.
Success Story
The use of vaccines, multi-media education and aggressive disease surveillance and control programs has resulted in the near eradication of most vaccine-preventable diseases. A greater than 90% reduction in the reported incidence of disease has occurred over the past 5-6 years. The thrust now is to sustain and even improve immunization services and coverage by eliminating the remaining threat of vaccine-preventable diseases in any population group or geographic pocket of need throughout the State.

Everyone is scrambling to include Ajax on his or her sites, and for good reason. For users, Ajax applications appear more responsive and desktop-like. For developers, Ajax is attractive because it breaks the one-page-per-click rule that has existed since the beginning of the Web, making new types of applications possible.
In an Ajax application, a click might force a complete page reload, as in a traditional Web application. But, it might instead fire an HTTP request in the background. The response to this HTTP request is handled (also in the background) by a JavaScript function, which can use the content to modify some or all of the page.
If you have been developing Web applications for a while, you might be wondering what the big deal is with Ajax.> After all, it's neither new nor difficult for a JavaScript function to modify the current page via the DOM, is it? Perhaps not, but sometimes the most powerful ideas result not from fancy technologies, but from the clever combination of simple ones. HTML, HTTP and URLs were all fairly simple inventions, and they might not have gone very far on their own. But by combining them in just the right way, Tim Berners-Lee launched a revolution that continues to this day.
Last month, we built a small application that demonstrated the improved usability that Ajax brings to the table. As a visitor filled out the HTML form with a requested user name, a JavaScript function requested (via HTTP) a list of current user names from the server. The HTTP response contained a list of current users. By checking to see whether the newly requested user name was on that list, it was possible to tell the user in advance to choose something else.
This approach had many problems, but the two biggest ones were scalability and security. If our site becomes especially popular, we will have many registered users, so sending a complete list of user names will consume increasing amounts of CPU and bandwidth.
In addition, it is a large security risk to send all of the user names on a site to anyone who requests it. The odds are good that at least one of those users has chosen a poor password, which would make it easy to assume that person's identity. The implications of this security breach depend on your users, your application and your country. Some countries' legal systems might even see this as a prosecutable violation of database privacy laws.
So, for technical and security reasons alike, we need to find a better solution. An obvious candidate, and one we examine this month, involves sending the proposed user name to the server via an Ajax request. The server's response will thus be a short "yes" or "no", indicating whether the browser should allow or prevent registration.
An Ajax application consists of several parts:
A JavaScript function, defined in the Web page, that is invoked when a particular event happens. These event handler functions are common in the JavaScript world, even without Ajax. Before CSS, for example, it was common to use JavaScript to change the src attribute for an img tag whenever the mouse would hover over it (the onmouseover event) or move off of it (the onmouseout event). In the case of Ajax, the event handler function doesn't manipulate the DOM, but rather it sends an asynchronous HTTP request using the XMLHttpRequest object.
In our example application, the JavaScript function will create an XMLHttpRequest object and use it to invoke a program residing on the server. As a parameter to the request, we will send the contents of the username text field.
A server-side program that expects to receive the HTTP request, along with one or more parameters, and produces an appropriate HTTP response. The response theoretically may be in any legitimate MIME format, although XML, plain text and JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) appear to be the most popular choices. The server-side program will almost certainly not be written in JavaScript. You can choose the language in which you write this program, as well as the method in which it is invoked. The key is that it has access to the resources you need, such as a database, and that it can produce the output in the format you want. In this month's example application, the server-side program takes the username parameter and looks in the database to see if it is already in use. The XML that it returns will indicate its findings.
Good article
Really good articles on ajax fundamentals. One comment I have is that it is not pointed out in Part 2 and 3 that the database access, register.pl, is still in effect. It is also easy to change check-name-exists.pl above to use similar database methods as register.pl users:
use strict;
use diagnostics;
use warnings;
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp;
use DBI;
# ------------------------------------------------------------
# # Connect to the database
# ------------------------------------------------------------
my $dbname = 'test';
my $dbuser = 'gene';
my $dbpassword = '';
my $dbh = DBI->connect("DBI:mysql:dbname=$dbname",
$dbuser, $dbpassword,
AutoCommit => 1, RaiseError => 1,
PrintError => 1, ChopBlanks => 1}) ||
print "Error connecting: '$DBI::errstr' ";
# Define the usernames that are taken
# (Use a hash for lookup efficiency)
#my %usernames = ('abc' => 1,
# 'def' => 1,
# 'ghi' => 1,
# 'jkl' => 1);
# ------------------------------------------------------------
my $query = new CGI;
print $query->header("text/plain");
# Get the POST data
my $postdata = $query->param("POSTDATA");
# Get the username
my ($name, $value) = split /=/, $postdata;
my $username = '';
if ($name eq 'username')
$username = $value;
my $select_sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Users WHERE username = ?";
my $select_sth = $dbh->prepare($select_sql);
my ($username_is_taken) = $select_sth->fetchrow_array();
# If this username is defined, say "yes"!
if ($username_is_taken)
print "yes";
# Otherwise, say "no"!
print "no";
I also change it to use onblur instead of onchange but had to pass a parameter to checkUserName():
function checkUsername(val) {
var username = val; //document.forms[0].username.value;
xhr.send("username=" + escape(username));
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Blue Puzzle Rocker
Average rating: 11 reviews Read all reviews Write a review Featured Reviews:Blue Puzzle Rocker We were looking for a rocker for our one-year-old grandson and happened upon this one. It is absolutely perfect! It isn't too tall, so he can get in and out of it with no problem. It was a piece of cake to put together, took all of two minutes. The workmanship is excellent and the painting was just adorable. We (and he) couldn't be happier. And at such a great price!!! Blue Puzzle Rocker This was a Christmas gift for my Great Nephew. His Dad put it together at his Grandma's and he rocked all afternoon. This chair is quality made and easy to assemble and disassemble. I have told all of my friends who have small children or grandchildren about your web site and prodct quality. Thankyou for making a little boy's day. Blue Puzzle Rocker This is the coolest rocker ever. It really does go together just like a puzzle! It's still a bit big for my grandson, who is just 11 months old but it will be a treasured piece for years to come, and best of all, if we want to take it with him somewhere, it comes apart and travels flat! And once it is together, it's sturdy too. Blue Puzzle Rocker I purchased the puzzel rocker for my grandson's 1st Birthday. I loved it, and so does he. I like the idea that once he outgrows it, it can be taken apart and hopefully saved for his children. No screws, bolts or any other parts to worry about. Very satisfied with the quality of it also. Blue Puzzle Rocker I bought this for my year old great-grandson and it took literally one minute to put it together. It is beautiful and very well made. Very happy with it. He can get in and out of it very easily and gets a big smile on his face when he starts to rock. |

"The press conference will begin at 11 am PT in Pittsburgh. Though he will be speaking out against the allegations (or confirming them, we'll find out soon enough), his reps have informed the press that he won't be taking any questions.

Cheick Kongo takes on Heath Herring at UFC 82 on April 2 from the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.
is it just me or does kongo seem really respectful until after he wins then he bashes the other guys game. just like he did with crocop.
i hope he pays for that and herring beats his ass and cro cop comes back and beats his ass
I couldn't have put it any better Roy. I can't support a guy who knees to the groin and complains that it was legal.
I think kongo wins this fight if it stays on the feet.
no dout that kongo is big and strong and good on his feet i could see him winning this fight but like you said realwun i can't get behind a guy that low blows than talks shit on the fighter after the fight.

CHICAGO (June 21, 2011) Birmingham, Ala., like many cities across the country, faces an unprecedented health crisis that threatens to cripple its future. Nearly one-third of Birmingham's citizens are obese and 11 percent are diagnosed with diabetes. But Birmingham is one of 190 communities nationwide making measurable improvements to the well being of its residents through participation in the YMCA's Healthier Communities Initiatives. Spearheaded by the Y, with support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Sam's Club Giving Program, the Healthier Communities Initiatives helps local communities reduce chronic disease risk by increasing access to opportunities for physical activity and healthier foods.
"We know that increased stress, poverty, social isolation and unsafe neighborhoods limit access to healthy foods and discourage physical activity – making it even more difficult for many to maintain a healthy lifestyle," says Neil Nicoll, president and CEO of YMCA of the USA. "To combat these issues, the Y's Healthier Communities Initiatives bring community leaders together to find real solutions that help people live healthier lives and less susceptible to chronic diseases."
In Birmingham, the Jefferson County Health Action Partnership, of which the Y is a member, carries out the work of Healthier Communities Initiatives. The partnership focuses on making lasting policy and environmental changes to fight obesity in Alabama's largest county. So far, hundreds of community leaders and community members from schools, neighborhoods, businesses and afterschool programs worked to identify barriers to healthy living and implement solutions to address them—specifically focusing on providing more opportunities for physical activity and easier access to fruits and vegetables.
"We want a Birmingham that our children and their children will be proud of for many years to come," says Lisa Jones, senior vice president of the Birmingham YMCA. "Healthy living will continue to be an integral part of our community culture by making nutritious food easily accessible to all and enabling residents to have the opportunity to be active in a safe environment."
Among the biggest challenges for Birmingham was tackling areas where healthy and affordable food is difficult to find. To address these food desert issues, the Health Action Partnership created the Seed to Plate program, cultivating urban gardens accessible to all residents and school children.
"Before the program, residents were two blocks from an orange soda, but five miles from an orange," Jones says. "Residents now have access to fresh fruits and vegetables. Kids are learning to grow and prepare healthy foods and educating their parents about what they've learned, and going home and asking their parents for it."
With the support of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Sam's Club®, YMCA of the USA has provided funding and ongoing training and educational opportunities for Ys and their community leaders. As a result, the community leadership teams have succeeded in making changes such as ensuring that streets are more walkable through complete streets initiatives, fruits and vegetables are readily available by creating farmers' markets and community gardens, and parks and public places are smoke free.
Besides Birmingham, other examples of Healthier Communities Initiatives successes include:
Through the Healthier Communities Initiatives, YMCAs bring together a team of local leaders that plan and implement strategies for healthy change, responding to the needs of their individual communities. The local leaders include elected officials, state and local directors of public health departments, business and local school officials, parks and recreation departments, community and faith-based organizations and foundations and hospitals.
"The Y's role is to meet the unique needs of each community we serve, and as communities face different challenges when battling chronic disease, the Y is able to bring a level of innovation and find real solutions through our Healthier Communities Initiatives," explains Jonathan Lever, vice president, health strategy and innovation of Y-USA.
"We can't solve our nation's healthcare issues by continuing to treat disease after the fact. We have to move to prevention, which is not only what Ys wake up every day working to accomplish, but also an important goal of the organizations with which we collaborate."
Adds Neil Nicoll, "To truly counteract the nation's chronic disease crisis, a national effort is needed – one that encourages healthy living and engages all sectors of society with a focus on changing the environments where we live, work, learn and play to make healthy options a reality. We have seen first-hand how small changes in a community, with relatively little funding, can create positive, long-lasting and sustainable change."

About the Healthier Communities Initiatives:
Healthier Communities Initiatives include three distinct efforts: Pioneering Healthier Communities (PHC), Action Communities for Health, Innovation & Environmental Change (ACHIEVE)—both funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—and Statewide Pioneering Healthier Communities (Statewide PHC)—funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Sam's Club®. Each initiative focuses on making strategic changes in the physical environments or in community settings (i.e., schools, worksites) to promote healthy lifestyles at the local level. Statewide PHC specifically aims to address the childhood obesity epidemic at state levels and in collaboration with communities in those states. ACHIEVE unites Ys, local and state health departments, parks and recreation departments and other community based organizations more formally in the fight against chronic disease.

Catering/Take Out Recommendations near Mass General Hospital...
Any suggestions or recommendations for good catering/take out restaurants or delis near Mass General Hospital? Friends from New York have taken an apartment in the area for an extended period to be near their 2 year old daughter who is being treated with chemotherapy. We'd like to call in and pre-order food and meals for them during this difficult time. Thank you.
Another idea for you...there is a CVS near MGH. May I suggest that you could also consider a CVS gift card, for your friends to purchase Pediasure, or whey protein to add to milkshakes, etc. in the event that they need to give liquid meal replacements/supplements to their daughter. Feeding a two year old is challenging enough, I can't imagine trying to feed a two year old on chemo.
I was in MGH twice with child deliveries, and my husband got us lots of good food both times from Charles Street establishments. Many sandwiches from Panifico, and pizzas and maybe pastas? (last one was six years ago!) from Figs. I should think that most of the restaurants in the area would gladly package and maybe even deliver good food locally.
re: Splendid Spatula
Boston's a pretty small town (at least compared to Brooklyn/NYC); there's not much of "Boston proper" that isn't within delivery/cab range. Anything in "downtown", "Beacon Hill", the "West End", "North End", "Charles St.", or even "Kendall Sq." & "Tech(nology) Sq." in Cambridge, could probably hook something up for you. Blessed.
Upper Crust on Charles Street will deliver if pizza is an ok option. Also, there is a Whole Foods right near the hospital with a huge prepared foods section. I don't know if they deliver though but it is worth a call. Ma Soba on Cambridge Street will deliver pan asian and sushi. Finally, Sam La Grassas is a deli that will deliver during the day and is delicious. I love the pastrami traveler's sandwich. yum. After my first was born, my BIL had one delivered to my hospital room.
I'm so sorry that your friends are going through this difficult time. I know that MGH as an amazing pediatric oncology department and that their daughter will be in good hands. -
Panificio on Charles Street should be able to put some meals together for you. This is a small neighborhood place. I would call them, tell them what you're trying to do and see what they suggest.
144 Charles St, Boston, MA -

Broncos punter Britton Colquitt has started strong this season through five games, building off his hot preseason.
After leading all NFL punters in net punting average this preseason, Colquitt currently ranks No. 2 with an average of 43.7 net yards per punt.
"Net punts are an important indicator of how we're doing field position wise with returning the ball to the defense," Special Teams Coordinator Jeff Rodgers said. "Britton will be the first one to tell you that unless he's got guys covering well, it's not going to help him statistically…He's done a good job, but the guys around him have done a pretty decent job too."
While other position groups may have been affected by the shortened offseason, kickers and punters work more as individuals and did not have their normal training routines impacted as much as offensive or defensive units.
"I'd say this. With the way the offseason was structured this year, the kicker and the punter, their offseason was about the same," Rodgers said. "Those guys don't need anybody else to work on their craft with them. Britton certainly had a good offseason on his own."
Colquitt has improved his 2010 numbers across the board. His gross average is up more than six yards per punt (from 44.6 to 50.7) and his net average has improved by almost seven yards (from 36.6 to 43.7).
Colquitt's eight games with a 50-plus-yard gross punting average are the second most through a punter's first two seasons in NFL history. He needs just one more 50-plus-yard game to tie the record set by former Broncos punter Jim Fraser in 1963.

Como and its surroundings
By car, 5 km, 1 dayYou will find few landscapes of such harmonious beauty. Here it attains truly sublime heights, and you will need several days to get used to it. Stendhal's words may come to mind: "The world has nothing more ravishing to offer. What need to go and seek happiness? It is here, before your very eyes!"

Started in the late 14C, completed in the Renaissance and crowned with an 18C dome by Juvara, the Como Cathedral has a remarkable façade decorated with exceptional technical skill by the Rodari brothers who also decorated the North Portal, called "the frog's portal". The solemn Gothic interior is decorated in the Renaissance style : tapestries, paintings by Bernardino Luini and Gaudenzio Ferrari, and a moving Deposition, sculpted by Tommaso Rodari.
Adjacent to the façade of the Cathedral, this old communal palace built in the 13C is made up of an arcaded ground floor and an upper floor decorated with windows with three openings.
This imposing Neo-classic development was built at the end of the 18C. Its gardens offer a lovely view over Como town and the lake.
This splendid location is famous for the Villa d'Este, an opulent 16C residence now converted into a hotel: only guests are allowed into the villa and the lovely surrounding park . The way to see the villa and setting is from the lake, but alternatively the view from Piazza del Risorgimento, near the landing stage with the Art Nouveau-style roof, is also very impressive.

Alright, so, after playing RE4 for the PC, in pure HD, I've got to say it's pretty nice. For those of you who played Resident Evil 4 on a console, I'm sure you may have noticed that your version got a select couple things. Some got the mine thrower and others got the PLR cannon, and some got the Mauser, and you get what I'm saying. Well, I've been playing through the game, about half-way done since I've got a bit of a busy schedule this week, and I've got to say that it's going swimmingly.…

Preordered it. Six hours before it's released to the masses. I know a lot of people might think "Wait, Resident Evil 4? That's already been released..." and you'd be right! Well, you'd be right if I meant regular Resident Evil. I've purchased Resident Evil 4 for the PC, which.. yes, has already been released as well, but it's the HD version on Steam, which comes with all the bonus content in the other games, the weapons, the dirty pictures!

Dayton players join Reds at Fifth Third
Dayton players join Reds at Fifth Third
Eight Dragons head home early to take part in today's exhibition finale with the Marlins. Click-2-Listen By Marc Katz Staff Writer Saturday, March 31, 2007 SARASOTA, Fla. A usual hot Friday morning at spring training was actually different. It was the last Friday morning at spring training, and one of the last days. The Cincinnati Reds played an exhibition game at Ed Smith Stadium, then took a charter plane home. Eight Class A Midwest League Dayton Dragons were with them after their exhibition game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on a back field. Those Dragons will participate with the Reds in a 2 p.m. exhibition game against the Florida Marlins today at Fifth Third Field, giving Dayton fans an early glimpse of their summer. The rest of the Dragons leave today and Sunday. The chosen eight include Dayton's starting infield first baseman Logan Parker, second baseman Justin Turner, shortstop Chris Valaika and third baseman Juan Francisco. The others are outfielders Chris Heisey and Denis Phipps, and pitchers Jordan Smith and Travis Webb. By Monday, they and the rest of the Dragons will gather at Fifth Third Field for a late-afternoon practice. "I always loved spring training," said Doug Bair, the Dragons pitching coach. "Are you kidding?" The sun is warm, the pace quick but tolerant of a few mistakes. The idea is to get in repetitions before the real games begin. To some, there is anxiety. Will the minor-leaguers be placed on the team they want, or will they be released from the game they're trying to make their life? Some will stay behind in what is called extended spring training, which means more drills and more games that won't be counted in official averages or standings. Fewer than 50 will stay behind this season, down from recent Reds years when the glut of players clogged the four fields used by the minor-leaguers. A few late additions and subtractions were made Friday, and more will be made today, although only one was expected to impact the Dragons. Pitcher Robert Manuel, who played briefly with the Dragons last season, was moved to the Class A Sarasota team. Dayton manager Donnie Scott was trying to get his rotation in order. At the start, it will include Opening Day pitcher Sean Watson, Smith, Jamie Arneson, Daryl Thompson and Rafael Gonzalez. Arneson is one of four lefties on the staff. Who emerges as the closer will be determined, but Jose Rojas and Ramon Geronimo are the initial candidates. Rojas posted a 3-1 record with 1.07 ERA in 25 relief appearances with the Dragons last summer, while Geronimo recorded 27 saves in 29 appearances for the Dominican Summer League Reds not allowing an earned run until his last game on the way to an 0.28 ERA. http://www.daytondailynews.com/s/con...07dragons.html |
