The NFL handed out fines on Friday for a fight between players from the Bears and Lions from last Sunday's game.
Bears CB D.J. Moore was fined $15,000 for hitting Lions QB Matthew Stafford after a Bears interception. According to the Chicago Tribune's Vaughn McClure, Moore will not appeal the fine. Moore was ejected from the game.
Stafford, who threw Moore to the ground by his helmet while trying to block him, was fined $7,500, according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. Stafford's grabbing of Moore's helmet precipitated the retaliation by Moore, which led to his fine.
In other fines unrelated to the late-game fight, Lions DT Nick Fairley was hit with a $15,000 levy for his late hit on Bears QB Jay Cutler in the third quarter; Lions OG Rob Sims was fined $7,500 for a late hit; and Lions DE Kyle Vanden Bosch received a $7,500 fine for unnecessary roughness when he hit Bears RB Matt Forté while Forté was on the ground.
Bears WR Earl Bennett was fined $10,000 for wearing predominantly orange shoes. The previous week he was fined $5,000 for the same offense.

Drought, acreage reductions issues for sugar growers
As members of the Nebraska Non Sugar Beet Growers Association hold their annual meeting today, the organization's President says there is concern about continued drought and how that will impact the beginning stages of the growing season.
Darby Jesperson of Hemingford says having enough soil moisture to even get the crop started is a worry. Jesperson says the concern is the worst for those using flood irrigation, but even for those with pivots who draw water from wells, there is still apprehension
Jesperson say some wet snows and timely rains are needed so growers feel confident in planting their crop this spring.
Jesperson says the other big issue is acreage reduction. Despite the fact 100% of last year's record crop was processed, Western Sugar is reducing the production acres for each share a grower owns to 87% of the maximum.
Jesperson says part of the reason for acreage reduction is the fact the record crop produced carryover sugar that has not been sold. Jesperson says there are farmers who feel the reduction cuts into their profitability. But with sugar prices declining, Jesperson says some growers are happy they have other options to plant corn and beans on the reduced acres.

Students and staff at Central and VanBuren elementary schools in Plainfield are busily preparing for a new event promoting health and wellness.
The schools will hold a walk-a-thon from 9 a.m. to noon April 26 to raise funds for student activities.
Members of both schools' Parent Teacher Organizations (PTOs) are helping to organize and execute the inaugural event. Jenny Homan is one of those volunteers.
Homan has two daughters who attend Central — second-grader Samantha and first-grader Graci.
"We're promoting health and fitness in the community while raising money for the schools," Homan said.
She said each child is being asked to try to raise $40 through pledges from their friends, family, and neighbors.
"Our slogan is, 'Be Sporty Raise $40,'" she said. "There are 600 kids at each school, so that's 1,200 raising funds. We potentially could raise $48,000."
She said the event was born from the need to help fund programs.
"One hundred percent of the funds will be used to fund student activities like field trips, academic enrichment programs, and other school activities," Homan said.
There will also be internal competitions for students at each school. Classrooms raising the most funds will get to enjoy some innovative prizes like riding to school on a firetruck or in a police car.
"We're hoping the first-place winners will be able to watch the principals, Laura and Ray, race on tricycles," Homan said. "We were looking for prizes that were fun, low cost, and active."
The event will begin at 9 a.m. with the kindergarten classes from each school taking to the streets of Plainfield.
Plainfield Fire Department and Plainfield Police Department officials are helping to plan the walk-a-thon and will also be helping to block of streets for the event.
"Then, after the kindergarten, first grade will leave and then second grade, all the way to the fifth-graders," Homan said.
The fifth-grade students will then finish the event at a pizza and ice cream party celebrating their impending move to Plainfield Middle School.
"The pizza and ice cream has been donated by Chicago's Pizza and Red Line Yogurt," Homan said. "The community has been very supportive so far."
The party will also include the Colts in Motion, a 42-foot trailer that can be scheduled for community events.
Organizers are searching for sponsors to help offset the costs of T-shirts for the students as well as items for a gift bag for each student.
"We already have 1,200 bags donated from Hendricks Regional Health," she said. "We also have items like pencils and tooth brushes from local dentists."
She said they're hoping other businesses or individuals will donate health promoting items for the children.
"We're also accepting monetary donations so we can purchase items," Homan said. "We're looking for someone to donate 1,200 bottles of water and 1,200 bananas right now."
Other sponsors of the event include Chick-fil-A, York Automotive, and Synergy Telcom.
Homan said the walk-a-thon will be held rain or shine.
"We do have a back up plan, but it just won't be as cool," she said. "We'll have it in the school gyms. So we're really hoping and praying for nice weather."
Anyone willing to help sponsor the event by donations of funds or items may e-mail Homan at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Poured into a shaker pint glass. Pours a medium golden amber with a half finger white head with good retention and lacing. Aroma of grassy European hops, biscuit malt. Flavor follows, with a very well balanced biscuit and traditional hops and and a hint of citrus, grassy hop finish. Medium bodied with active carbonation. A very nice, balanced pilsner with a satisfying malt profile and well integrated hops. It is so nice to try this classic style Czech pilsner without skunking and ravages of age. This helps me understand how this became such a classic and long lasting style. Glad I had a chance to try it.

Drank on-tap at Armsby Abbey, Worcester, MA
Served in a dimpled mug
The beer poured a slightly hazed, medium amber color and was topped by an inch-tall, tight, sudsy head of bone white foam. As the the head receded, thin rings of lacing coated the glass.
The nose was pretty interesting. It was semi-sweet initially with some doughy and bready malt notes. Later, grassy hops took over. A crisp, dry, powdery yeastiness came forth as well. Eventually, it was back to the sweet, bready malts, and then the hops, etc.
The flavor profile was much drier and hoppier than the nose. Crackery malt notes made a brief appearance on the front end before being washed away by the hops. Lots of grassy, Saaz-style hops. Somewhat lemony. Slightly earthy. The beer finished with a huge dose of crisp, dry, minty hops that lingered on my palate long after each sip.
The mouthfeel was definitely the most impressive aspect of this beer. It was quite creamy and smooth. A fine, tongue blanketing effervescence gave the liquid a pillowy soft quality.
Koutská 12° is certainly an authentic, well crafted rendition of a Czech Pilsner, but I would have enjoyed a bit more complexity in the flavor profile. With such an intense hop presence, this reminded me a lot of Moonlight Brewing's Reality Czeck.

Served in a mug at Redlight Redlight.
Appearance - Hazy with a nice head. At least that's the best I can see through the dimpled glass. Retains the head well.
Smell - Spicy German hop. Sweet pilsner malt.
Taste - Good hop flavor right up front. Spicy and earthy. Hefty dose of pilsner malt. Not crisp, but it's not an overwhelming sweetness.
Mouthfeel - Heavy for a pilsner. Kinda sweet.
Overall - Too heavy to be great, but the flavors are spot-on. Well hopped.

Draft at Local Option, a 12 oz. or so tulip glass.
Hazed unfiltered goldenrod orange, soapy white foam on the surface, random arcs of drippy downward lacing in the glass. Good surface coverage.
Dry herbal aroma, light apple esters, dry crackery malt. Hoppy and dry.
Flavors are similar, it finishes dry with a firm herbal hoppiness that lingers for awhile. Some light breadiness, dry and crockery, with a mildly fruity apple ester from the yeast. Not overly sweet like so many Czech Pils', this is more dry and drinkable. Simple and effective with enough hop nuances to keep you interested.
If this was the house Czech beer instead of Samson at Johnnie's (RIP), i'd have been in there every day. Probably the best Czech Pils that i've crossed paths with.

Poured on tap at Churchkey into a snifter glass. From notes.
Real nice mellow gold body, quite crystal clear, even a hint of red going on here. Real nice fluffy bleach white top with thick lacing while drinking. Very impressive.
Nose has classic light bready malts, with sticky yeast and hints of peanut butter cookie cracking sensations. What a real interesting smell this is. Clean.
There's a real nice clean feel to this beer with a sticky malt/yeast backbone while drinking. Cookie sensations come from hinted on the nose. Crackling peanuts in the mid palate, with a nice light grassy hop action. Dense finish and lingering malt depth.
Real enjoyable beer, quite a fun treat to be having this one.

Appearance 4.5 - Lovely colour of flower honey. Clear with healthy, white thick head which dissipates slowly and leaves a ring, quite a lot of lacing and thin film of bubbles all the way to the bottom. Overall fantastic and tasty looking pint, which is a joy to watch.
Smell 3 - Not very distinctive. Some fair amount of malt and some hops maybe. Okay, but not interesting.
Taste 4.5 - Starts with fruit and some herbs for a very short time, unfortunately a tiny bit of water in the middle. But then comes a heavy strike of pure malt. Hop bitterness dominates the end.
Mouthfeel 5 - Full body with hop-bitter tail that stays with you for a long time after the last sip and begs for more. Insanely drinkable.
Overall 4 - Man, for the price... it is the last beer you'll ever want. Drinkable, cheap, yet delicious. Much better than all those self-declared best (euro) beers. I am glad they have it on tap just around the corner. The benchmark of Czech Pils.

Tap at Armsby Abbey
Nice big creamy head in the mug, hit 2 fingers as it fades slowly mostly clear slight haze, straw orange color.
Nose nice Czech pils, hay, cracked straw, grainy malt, nice grassy hops, touch of a juicy malt.
Taste starts like a nice lager, soft but crisp, light and airy, lots of carb, etc. The hops really come through, lots of saaz, grassy floral, light bitter spicy bit barely, hint fruity even. Then malts, light straw and hay, hint honey even, malty flavor but lighter than expected as the hops dominate. Finish is dry and crisp, light lingering grassy hops, light bitterness, and little honey malt. Light spicy hop bite late.
Mouth is med bodied but fluffy and airy with lots of carb, very crisp.
Overall quite nice, great straw pilsner malts, nice lager profile, and tons of saaz hops. Best Czech beer I've had... so far.

Enjoyed at the Armsby Abbey on Zwanze day.
A - Poured into a large mug an almost crystal clear dark straw light gold. Atop this sits a wonderfully dense and sudsy two finger white head that left intense side lacing.
S - Aromas of the typical Czech saaz hops, lightly grassy subtly floral with a nice biscuit and malt undertone. Definitely appealing.
T - Taste is saaz hops galore. Delicious honey and biscuits Malta. Super tasty Herr with big saaz hops and honeyed amber. Tons of honey but not oppressingly sweet. Light biscuit. Awesome.
M - Mouthfeel is excellent for the style with wonderful carbonation. Incredibly sessionable.
O - Overall I was floored by this beer. A good Czech pils?! Awesome awesome flavour here so fucking good with spot on carbonation. I could happily drink this all day!

Pretty much a souped up version of the phenomenal desitka, though with the extra alcohol, I would drink slightly less of it in a session.
Colour wise it is golden, and has a cracking white head.
The nose is the traditional aromas of Czech Saaz hops, lemony, spicy and just a hint of grass.
Drinking it is like supping nectar, a slight bready malt thing going on, with a long, dry finish which is eminently refreshing.
Just a great beer.

Automating the Science of Retail™
A retail business has many critical components that must run smoothly as one to produce sustainable profit. It's like putting together the pieces of a very complex puzzle and involves a careful balance of both science and art. Inventory management, supplier communication, point-of-sale, reporting, and database management are all examples of the "science" that goes into running a business. Customer service, marketing, community involvement, and new product research are examples of the "art" that goes into running a business. So, what if you had one technology vendor to automate the science of your business providing you and your staff more time to focus on the art? That's what ECRS does in a nutshell; we take care of the science enabling you to run your business better.
But we aren't just "science"; our technology is developed by one of the largest, most experienced development teams in the industry and backed by an award-winning support team, expert consulting services, project management, and on-site installation. We also offer a variety of flexible training options including free online training.
ECRS solutions are designed, developed, and supported in the USA.

4.3/5 rDev +22.9%
Cloudy, straw golden with a foamy white head and good retention and lacing. Very mild carbonation. Aroma is of mild amount of banana and clove esters. Taste begins with strong amonts of bananas, a slight note of alcohol, very mild bitterness, and ends in a wet finish. Mouthfeel is smooth with a rather thin body. Pleasantly surprised given the other brews I sampled. Nice...exceptionally easy to drink.

4/5 rDev +14.3%
A pretty nice, standard American hefeweizen.
Pours hazy yellow/orange with nice head and decent retention.
Shows that nice grain, malt character with citrus and spice on the nose and palate. Very good though nothing exceptional.
Finishes light and clean despite the 6% abv listed. Refreshing and balanced.

3.15/5 rDev -10%
Served brutally, painfully cold, like a soldier fighting some archaic cold war. This leaves me with precious little to do for fifteen minutes aside from engaging in conversation (gasp!) and admiring the densely clouded pink lemonade color and velvety soft head. At last, the brew warms to serving temperature and I am treated to a crisp, dry hefe with no lace and an aftertaste I am prepared to take to a pawnshop.
A good zesty breakfast beer.

3.05/5 rDev -12.9%
1/2 pint served in a small shaker at the brewery, ice cold (I guess they never read Red's review!), Standing Stone's hefe is a cloudy pale yellow with a wispy white skim that leaves light lace.
Smell is very soft, even after the tedious waiting process to let it warm, gaining a little wheat sourness, and traces of the lemon wedge that I neglected to tell them not to put into my beer. Bonus points for the dirty rind!
Taste is nice and estery, more clove then banana, with a grainy, acrid finish.
Mouthfeel is very creamy and carbonated, with a medium-light body.
Drinkability is average, easy drinking enough, but nothing super exciting.

Interestingly, however, research by Scobbo et. al. in 2004 showed that TSH tests declined in 97 of 100 of the people studied -- by an average of 26.39% -- when compared to early morning, fasting, TSH test results. This resulted in as many as 6% of patients being reclassified from the diagnosis of subclinical hypothyroidism to "normal."
Researchers concluded that the diagnosis of subclinical hypothyroidism should not be made only on a fasting TSH measurement.
Implications for Patients
Essentially, these researchers retested patients later, when they could get a normal range result and declare the patients to be free of hypothyroidism.
Doing so, however -- retesting a patient without fasting, later in the day, in order to see if an elevated TSH level will then drop down to be "borderline normal" -- is questionable medicine, at best.
It's particularly questionable, given that researchers have not established that the earlier, fasting level results are any less valid than the later, non-fasting, "normal range" results. Researchers also don't even know how fasting affects thyroid function or TSH values, or why TSH values would be different based on fasting or non-fasting.
In some cases, if you are having your thyroid testing done along with other bloodwork -- such as glucose, insulin, or cholesterol levels done -- you will be asked to fast, and have your test done first thing in the morning. In other cases, your doctor may not dictate when to have your TSH test, or whether or not to fast. But be aware that if you test later in the day and you've eaten, you are likely to have a lower TSH level than if you test earlier in the day with fasting.
Other Findings
Other information actually supports the idea that patients should not take any thyroid medication the day of testing, until after tests are completed.
The Thyroid Manager online textbook mentions that
Serum T4 concentrations peak 2 to 4 hours after an oral dose and remain above normal for approximately 6 hours in patients receiving daily replacement therapy.For this reason, thyroid expert Richard Shames, MD has the following recommendation:
I absolutely recommend that patients have any morning blood tests evaluating the thyroid before taking any thyroid medication. I have always told my patients to do it this way.More Information

The ordinance concerns a tax incentive deal with PLG Investments LLC.
PLG Investments is expected to spend in excess of $7 million to redevelop the property that will be home to T.J. Maxx, Hobby Lobby, Shoe Carnival and Petco later this year.
It's also going to create almost 100 jobs and bring in hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax revenue to the city each year, city attorney Phil Laird told council members.
The city's tax incentive deal will total $2.4 million over a 10-year period, Laird said.
"It appears to us this is an excellent opportunity for the city," Laird said.
Mayor Sonny Posey recommended the council approve the ordinance because "the developer is ready to get underway with this project," Posey said.
Work is expected to begin later this month, with businesses slated to open before the end of the year.
In other business, council members:
•approved minutes from the Dec. 17 and Dec. 23 meetings.
•heard from city purchasing agent Tommy Knight regarding the purchase of an SUV for the city's police department.
•approved $5,000 in funding for the purchase of bullet-proof vests for the Jasper Police Department.
•approved a request to begin the process for repairing the road that leads to Love's Travel Stop just off Interstate 22.
The road also leads to the site where Cracker Barrel is set to begin construction later this week. Work was set to begin Monday but was delayed a few days because of extreme cold weather conditions, public works director Joe Matthews told the council.
The council is expected to begin accepting bids for the work in February, with work to repair the road beginning in March.
Work to construct Cracker Barrel is expected to take approximately 180 days once the project begins.
•approved travel for city employees attending the Alabama Recreation and Parks Association state conference Feb. 9-12 in Birmingham.
•introduced an ordinance to rezone a 1.3-acre piece of property located at 2810 Key Camp Road in District 4.
•introduced an ordinance to change the distance requirement for granting an alcohol license to businesses and organizations.
•heard from Bill Cleghorn regarding the city's animal shelter.
Cleghorn suggested the city and the Walker County Commission should have a better working relationship in order to build an animal shelter for the county.

Sanna Nyassi has been criticized before for being full of speed and devoid of skill, but he certainly showed a lot of skill on Wednesday night at Stade Saputo. The Gambian hit a perfect volley late in the Montreal Impact's match against the New England Revolution, rocketing the ball with one touch past a helpless Matt Reis for what would prove to be the winner in a 2-1 Montreal win.
Patrice Bernier opened the scoring with a penalty take that took some doing. After Nyassi drew the penalty, Bernier beat Reis, only to have it called back because the referee blew the whistle just before Bernier kicked. Bernier had to re-take the penalty and he hit it well again, hitting it low and into the side netting, but the referee called that one back, too. That meant Bernier would have to take the penalty a third time, and it looked just like the first two, well taken and leaving Reis without a chance.
It looked like Montreal would take that 1-0 lead into halftime, but Lee Nguyen wouldn't let that happen. Nguyen got the ball in space and, despite being 30 yards from goal, hit a bank shot. He rocketed the ball off the bar and then off the back of the leaping Donovan Ricketts. That redirected the ball back toward goal, and then over the line for a 44th-minute goal that got the Revs level before halftime.
But Nyassi still had to have his say. Justin Mapp, whose crosses were poor all match, got a good ball away and found Nyassi at the back post in the 67th minute. Nyassi then hit his sweet volley, and all three points were heading Montreal's way.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
These extremely cold temperatures can be more than dangerous, they can be deadly for hundreds of homeless people in the area. The Cherry Street Mission will never turn anyone away during this cold weather.
Calvin Smallwood is one of 270 people who depend on the mission for a safe place to stay and keep warm. For him, it's beyond a blessing.
"Being here out of the cold in 10-below, 14-below weather is – it's unexpressable, how a person feels," he said.
With next week's temperatures predicted to not even reach zero degrees, the mission plans to house a lot more people.
"We're making sure that each one of our critical facilities is self-contained, making sure that food stocks and reserves are high and that all of the warm gear is on every site," said Dan Rogers, CEO of Cherry Street Mission.
To make this possible, the mission needs the community's help. They are asking for donations of towels, shampoo, toothbrushes, toothpaste and deodorant. More importantly, if you see anyone huddled outside in the cold without a place to stay, call Cherry Street Mission.
"If you actually see someone who needs shelter, please call us right away and let us know the location of that individual," Rogers said. "We have vans that go out every day looking for people that need shelter."
The number for Cherry Street Mission is 419-242-5141.
Another place taking people in is St. Paul's Community Center. Every night at 7 p.m. people can show up for a hot meal, shower and a warm place to sleep. They can even provide clothing if needed.
"The need is an extreme need," said Deb Renollet from St. Paul's. "Something people are not aware of. A lot of time we go to the comfort of our home and forget there are a lot of people out there freezing.
They can hold about 60 people each night and are located in the 200 block of 13th Street. The only downside is people must check out by 7 a.m. the next morning, but they are welcome to return again that night.
"It means everything," said Randy O'Connor, who has stayed at St. Paul's. "Just to have a place to come to
where it's warm means a lot."

Moncler Moves In-------
London is getting its own Moncler boutique at 197 Sloane Street today, just in time for winter. Company chairman and creative director Remo Ruffini is in town for the opening and we spoke to him via phone to get the details. In many ways it's like the Moncler shop on Via della Spiga in the heart of Milan: same architecture firm, same warm Alpine effect, same "lacquered" nylon down-filled puffer jackets with the signature logo patch on the left sleeve. The big difference? It's twice as large, and as such there's room for the brand's exclusive Gamme Rouge and Gamme Bleu lines, designed by Giambattista Valli and Thom Browne, respectively. The best part, for New Yorkers, at least: It's a prototype for Moncler's next retail destination, the Big Apple. Ruffini's still shopping for locations, but he says he's set his sights on Soho. There are a lot of stores in the neighborhood selling imitation shiny down-filled puffer jackets without the signature logo patch on the left sleeve. Ruffini's looking forward to providing shoppers with the real thing.

Chaos in Watertown, Cambridge Thursday night and early Friday
A Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus police officer was shot and killed Thursday night and a reported carjacking led to dozens of police officers, several FBI agents and SWAT units converging on Watertown, Mass. It was unknown as of 2:30 a.m. Friday if any of the activity in Cambridge and Watertown was connected to the apprehension of suspects from Monday's Boston Marathon bombing.
There were reports of gunfire and explosions in Watertown around 1 a.m. Friday and Boston's NBC-affiliate WHDH-TV captured, on video, police with their guns drawn toward a man lying face down on the street with his arms raised and his legs crossed.
WHDH reporter Adam Williams was on the scene in Watertown and told viewers on-air, "EMT told me, 'get back, there's a hand grenade."
A Mercedes was reportedly highjacked at Kendall Square in Cambridge and Watertown police chased down the car, according to WHDH.
At approximately 10:20 p.m. Thursday, shots were reportedly fired on the MIT campus. An MIT police officer was reported dead shortly after.

text: The silver and blue fanbase got an unexpected surprise in the first round of this year's NFL Draft, where Trader Jerry emerged from his hermit hole for his yearly draft tinkering. This year, instead of moving down as they have in past years, the Cowboys dealt up with St. Louis to select the consensus best cornerback -- Morris Claiborne from LSU. Cowboy fans must have been elated, finally happy that their traditionally incompetent drafter had finally gotten a pick right after so much failure.

The Cabins in Hope are located on NYS 30, "The Adirondack Trail," in the South Central Adirondacks along the Sacandaga River. The Town of Hope is in Hamilton County where hiking, canoeing, kayaking, and other Adirondack activities abound. Our central location makes day tripping to special spots like Blue Mountain Lake to visit the Adirondack Museum or Indian Lake to raft down the Hudson River perfect. Enjoy the activities in bustling Saratoga Springs but return for an evening in Hamilton County, the 3rd largest and least populated county in the state! (It is also one of only two counties located completely within the Adirondack Park). The Great Sacandaga Lake, located 9 miles south, is perfect for boating and fishing or try Lake Algonquin just 5 miles north.
Our lodging accommodations in the Adirondacks are special, if not unique. We combine the privacy of a cabin environment with the service and value of a bed and breakfast, including daily maid service. Our renovated roadside cabins offer beautiful views and fabulous privacy. Our "upper and lower" yards are perfect for leisurely strolls, while our ponds are the perfect spots for relaxing moments.

Johnnie "Little Bill" Sanford has been seen smiling and waving at passers-by from his front porch recently.
Sanford's home, which he rents from the adjacent Freewill Baptist Church, was severely damaged in the April 27, 2011 tornadoes.
He lived in Parrish with his sister, Tommie Sides, for a couple of months but quickly grew homesick.
"He threatened to come back and live under a rock bluff. He just loves Cordova," Sides said.
Sides added that many people had also become concerned when they didn't see her brother around town after the storm.
Sanford, 70, is slightly mentally challenged because of a childhood accident. However, Sides said she doesn't have to worry about him too much because he has numerous friends and neighbors who watch out for him.
Although Sanford doesn't drive, he never makes it far on foot before someone stops to offer him a ride.
If he can't make it down to the local diner for dinner, owners Jeff and Von Traweek will deliver to him.
Last fall, Sides called the police department one Friday night to check on her brother. She was quickly informed by the dispatcher that he was chatting with the officer working security at the football game.
Members of Freewill Baptist Church, where Sanford attends, are part of his extended family. They installed a sidewalk from his back door to the church for his safety and helped him find temporary housing in Cordova while his home was being repaired.
Sanford moved back to First Street in mid-June, and Sides said her brother couldn't be happier.
"We appreciate everybody who has been so good to him. Everybody loves him and he loves everybody," Sanford said.

Every Wednesday is Tip Day.
This Wednesday: tips for applying my top-secret happiness formula.
Okay, it's not really top secret. But I'm convinced that, if followed, this formula will indeed make you happier. Even thought it sounds simplistic, it took me a long time and a lot of research to realize that this was the way to think about happiness.
Here it is: To think about your happiness, you must think about FEELING GOOD, FEELING BAD, and FEELING RIGHT (or, in fancier language, positive affect, negative affect, and life satisfaction.)
Although you might think that feeling good and feeling bad would operate in a see-saw, in fact, research shows that they are distinct—and so is feeling right.
Studies show that absence of feeling bad doesn't mean that you feel good, and also, you can feel very good and very bad at the same time. And just because you feel good doesn't mean you feel right; sometimes, in fact, you might choose to feel bad in order to feel right.
So to boost your happiness, you have to think about all three elements and figure out how to increase your good feelings, decrease your bad feelings, and make sure you're feeling right:
1. Feeling good
Think of something fun to do this weekend.
Make a plan with a friend.
Make a small purchase that will boost your happiness.
My self-inking home-address stamp had gotten so faint that it was barely legible; I was made ridiculously happy by my purchase of a bottle of ink to replenish it.
2. Feeling bad
Do you start your day on a bad note—nagging your kids, cursing on the subway? Make a change.
Does some task nag at you? Take care of it.
I finally made an appointment to get my teeth cleaned; I'm six months overdue.
Do you feel guilty about something you did or didn't do? Make amends in some way.
3. Feeling right
Is there a skill that you feel that you should have, but you don't? Figure out a way to learn it.
A friend of mine learned to type as an adult.
Is there a subject that you feel that you ought to know more about?
I feel that I need to understand more about the Iraq War than I do.
Ask yourself: "Is there some major element in my life that just feels wrong to me?"
Try not to panic if the answer is "yes," and don't worry now about doing anything about it this minute. Just consider whether you're not feeling right because of your job, your city, your relationship, your body, etc. Understanding that something isn't right is the first step to being able to make it right.
A friend was raving about a book that's about to come out–Sharon Moalem's Survival of the Sickest. Apparently it explains why, in many circumstances, disease can have beneficial effects. Plus, my friend says, it's full of the kind of interesting information that's fun to trot out at a dinner party. This is just the kind of thing I love, so I went to check out the blog. Lots of fascinating info there.

Creating a green world, one building at a timeTuesday, July 29th, 2008
A proton therapy center to be constructed at the University of Miami starting next July is one of a number of buildings in the region designed to be better for the environment.
The $85-million to $100-million South Florida Proton Center at the University of Miami will earn LEED-certification (Leaders in Energy and Environmental Design) from the U.S. Green Building Council for a project that, from design through operation, minimizes waste, conserves energy and promotes a healthful environment for its occupants.
The center will employ proton radiation to precisely target cancerous cells while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue and organs. The university is looking to identify a spot in northern Palm Beach County for a proton treatment facility.
This fall, a ground "greening" is scheduled for the College of Engineering and Computer Science Building at Florida Atlantic University's Boca Raton campus. That building, expected to be completed by the end of 2009, will be a "living laboratory" for sustainable development. It will teach engineering students and faculty about green construction by having them participate in the building process, according to Karl Stevens, dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science.
And, a bit closer to Palm Beach, the EcoCentre — the 33,000-square-foot, four-story headquarters of the Romano Law Group, opened in June. Among its features are an on-site water purification and recycling system and a "roof park" of trees, plants and lawn that provides room for nature while keeping the building cooler.
Building a greener future is happening in South Florida, one structure at a time.

PEORIA, Ill -- Peoria City crews are staying busy preparing roads again, ahead of the expected snow.
Crews were out in teams of two Monday filling potholes all around the city of Peoria.
Maintenance worker Tom Brooks said crews have been filling holes throughout the winter, and adds the up-and-down temperatures we have seen this winter only increases the pothole problem.
He said crews tend to do as much pothole repair as they can before a winter storm because if snow gets down in the holes, more pavement comes loose and the holes usually grow.
All the patching done in the winter months is temporary, with permanent patching done in the summer.
City crews are expected to switch from pothole repair to plowing by Tuesday.

In keeping with its annual tradition, during July Interbrand united for its Month of Service as part of Interbrand Inspired – our Foundation. Across the globe, Interbrand provided pro-bono consulting services to inspiring non-profits and social impact startups, in addition to offering hands-on volunteering in local communities. In total, Interbrand hosted and participated in more than 20 activities and positively affected the lives of many.
The gift of generosity is a powerful expression of humanity and when a corporate community embraces altruism, the true character and spirit of the brand is revealed. Corporate Citizenship at Interbrand is our demonstration of appreciation for what we have and what we can give to others in pursuit of making the world a better place.
From the Americas to Australia, Interbranders left a lasting impact on the organizations it partnered with and the communities in which we operate. The effects were felt in New York, where one team worked with Futures and Options to help underserved youth express their own personal brands – advice that Futures and Options knows will "help in their professional growth no matter what field they pursue."
The volunteer opportunities also support Interbrand's collaborative and world changing internal culture, providing employees with the ability to think creatively and grow closer through shared experiences. Our Madrid office dedicated their time to a local community center, and as Angela Rodriguez expressed, "it was a life changing experience for all of us." In working with Student Reporter, Associate Consultant Jeremy Shapero noted, "our work was an exciting opportunity to flex beyond our traditional roles and teams."
During Month of Service, Interbrand partnered with the following non-profits and start-ups: Career Gear; Friends of the Children New York; Minds Matter; Domestic Violence Project; Rooftop Films; Bite Size Learning; Friends of Bezalel; Student Reporter; Charity Miles; Pencils of Promise; Sustainable Health Enterprises (SHE); GrowNYC; Futures and Options; Per Scholas; Upwardly Global; ABC Life Literacy; The Library Project; and Envision.

Mecosystem 2020: Brands are evolving into platforms to survive. Think GAFA — Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple. Possessing unique Log-In IDs and rich, multi-contextual touch points, the user is currently displacing the masterbrand as the primary, centralizing lens. Over time, these platform brand ecosystems will become mecosystems — user-generated brand instances that reflect a unique set of preferences and dynamic, biometric data. We will map out a model for brands to achieve a cohesive experience, a coordinated act of optimizing the interface layer, the partnership layer and the supporting infrastructure. Is the current age of the GAFA platforms enhancing or constricting the user's total experience?
Wearables & The Happiness Quotient: Can wearables help us be happier? From the quantified self movement to the emerging biometric economy, wearables may finally deliver on the collective dream — to identify what we desire and create predictive and reinforcing engagement models to help us achieve our goals. Defining a 'happiness algorithm' via ubiquitous computing and biometric data promises to be the most exciting and meaningful endeavor of our respective disciplines. In this pursuit, how can individuals, marketers and policy makers create a win-win scenario surrounding increasingly personal data?
Brand Strategy For The Internet Of Things: Buzzwords = pain points. These days devices are "seamless": Seamless communication, seamless integration, seamless connection. Customers want their devices (and data) to be "social" — to relate to one another in convenient, helpful, and appropriate ways. But siloed protocols prevent seamless cross-category connections. We end up with Smart Scales that don't sync. Selecting the right communication technology is more than a product decision; it's a brand decision. Communication and data standards are key differentiators that dictate the devices — and brands — that can participate in an ecosystem. Partnerships and brand alliances will increasingly drive how products communicate, share data, and relay information to customers. In this session, we'll look at how communication and data standards will form an integral component of brand strategy, and examine the ways in which brands can identify and form solid partnerships to truly deliver a seamless experience to customers.
Digital Killed The Music Star: As platform brands like Google and Apple compete for music delivery and revenue, the experience gets better and better for the music fan: shareable, streamed, on-demand, curated and tailored for the listener, cheaper and even free. At the same time, it's getting worse and worse for the artist. Digital is largely responsible for many musicians no longer receiving fair compensation for the consumption of their music. Do digital practitioners feel a responsibility to right this wrong? What is the blueprint for a win-win compensation model for musicians, fans and corporations? How can technology and branding revive the pessimistic state of the industry?

According to strategy expert Rita Gunther McGrath, the competitive advantage is dead. Any edge your brand has over another will be trumped faster and more furiously than ever before. And in fact, most of the speakers at the WOBI on Innovation conference focused on these disrupters: brands that emerge, seemingly out of nowhere, and shake up a category so dramatically that all others in its category must hustle to stay relevant.
McGrath advises a new, nimble mindset as the best way to protect your brand from being edged out, including changing your thinking about innovation and also your business strategy. Incredible agility is now required when we consider our products, budgets, and even our own careers. Innovation should be incorporated fully into our company, not as an "extra," but as another cost of doing business. Products and ideas should be championed for as long as they are effective and then relinquished for improved solutions. And, as employees, we have to consistently and proactively shape and nurture our career paths.
If the WOBI faculty is an indication of the future, then healthcare in particular must be alert to the patter of disrupters. Technology looming on the horizon could threaten many healthcare brands; however, getting educated about what's happening at the leading-edge and being open to possibilities gives brands an opportunity to progress and position themselves as forward thinkers, whether that means partnering with "disruptive" consumer brands or refocusing their own R&D.
What does the future hold?
If we are to believe tech entrepreneur Vivek Wadhwa, our future is going to be super cool and very scary all at the same time. We'll start with the (now) ordinary but end up with the extraordinary—and a number of questions about our privacy and consumerism in general, will be raised. What happens to the pharmaceutical industry when we can print our own medications? Or to doctors when robots perform all our surgeries? Our phones will track everything our bodies do, from fitness to heart monitoring, to medication absorption. Global data is growing at a rate of 59 percent per year, and it doesn't seem to be slowing down. Pills will come with sensors; medicine for conditions like cancer will be personalized. We'll print hearts and lungs and bionic hands. Devices and tattoos on our skin will store our health records, credit cards, and IDs. Robots will continue to advance in medicine and beyond, replacing pharmacists, delivery vehicles, factory workers, and more.
How does a brand adapt?
So how does a healthcare brand stay agile during this tumultuous time? CEO Mark Bertolini offered some insight into the direction Aetna is taking that is inspiring for anyone in healthcare today. Perhaps most importantly, Bertolini has shifted the company's perception of its customer, its marketplace, and its role:
"Healthcare is focused on curing disease, not creating highly functional human beings. Our goal should be highly functional humans because they are productive, economically viable, and therefore happy. That should be our definition of how a healthcare system works."
Not only is this aspirational, it's practical. Between the ACA, new technology, and concierge medicine, healthcare is more patient-centric than ever. Consumers now have the tools to understand, monitor, and take an active role in their health like never before. Bertolini goes so far as to say that if the healthcare system is structured properly and built around the individual, traditional insurance won't even be necessary. He sees three main transformative principles for staying ahead:
Bolster your brand
There are no guarantees against disrupters—and they're also not always a genuine threat. For every Uber or AirBnB there's a Pets.com or LaserDisc. However, taking the whole landscape in account, it's very clear that we're entering a brave new world for healthcare. Therefore, understanding the strength of your brand in the marketplace and developing future strategies around that can help you adapt to the industry's turbulent new normal. What shifts should you make to foster innovation and keep employees engaged? How can you push new products forward and disengage from those that have run their course? Can you adopt new technologies to better serve your consumers? We don't know where the next disrupter will come from, or when it will emerge, but by recognizing changes in our industry, employing forward-thinking techniques, and adapting to consumer marketplace trends, we can set our brands up for success and longevity.

In 2005, while traveling through a remote town in Morocco, Drew came across children playing the game he loved under dangerous circumstances. The following year, Drew put his business and economics degree (and his heart) to the test and went on to co-found and run love.fútbol, a nonprofit/social enterprise that partners with and empowers underserved communities to create simple soccer fields for youth. This nonprofit creates safe places for kids to play the game and stay active. love.fútbol has catalyzed fifteen community-driven soccer field projects throughout Guatemala and Brazil, which all serve as hubs for social programs and enterprise, providing a safe place to play for over 13,000 youth.

From more sustainable sourcing to social innovation, companies are doing more every day to create positive social change and sustainable solutions—and consumers are increasingly "rewarding" brands that take social responsibility seriously.
Super Market News reports that American supermarket chain, Safeway Inc., has made great strides in its efforts to sustainably source all fresh and frozen seafood by the end of 2015. The brand is already more than halfway to its goal, proving its leadership as a sustainable seafood retailer. In addition, Safeway has saved over 75 million gallons of water, eliminated 300 million plastic bags, and donated 72 million pounds of food.
Speaking of plastic bags, the infamous question of "paper or plastic?" may soon be a thing of the past. According to PackagingDigest.com, standard materials are being replaced with non-toxic, lower weight, biodegradable, reusable and recyclable alternatives. Also, bio-plastics are showing a growth rate of more than 20 percent with production expected to increase from 1.39 million tons in 2012 to 6.18 million tons by 2017. Why? Because packaging influences purchasing decisions—and more consumers are showing a preference for sustainable materials and design.
Picking up on the real-world solutions trend, Eco-Business reports that more organizations are moving beyond donations and philanthropy. Instead, they are becoming actively involved in projects that benefit business and have a positive social impact. Whether showing a focused commitment to a particular issue through a corporate foundation or embedding CSR into company operations, CSR programs and foundations boost employee morale and enhance corporate reputations. And the choice does not have to be one over the other—a greater CSR strategy can work simultaneously with a foundation.
As these efforts illustrate, businesses are doing a lot to give back—but are they doing enough? According to the 2013 UN Global Compact-Accenture CEO Study on Sustainability, as Sustainable Brands reports, two-thirds of CEOs admitted that businesses could be doing more to address sustainability challenges. Although CEOs see engagement with consumers as the single most important factor motivating them to accelerate progress on sustainability, they are often out of step with what motivates consumers to make responsible purchasing decisions.
To engage more effectively with consumers, companies must close the gap between performance and perception, according to Interbrand's annual Best Global Green Brands report. Commenting on the report, Vikas Vij of JustMeans.com said, "The consumers of today hold the world's top brands to an exacting standard and expect these brands to act responsibly." As Interbrand's research indicates, reducing the gap between socially and environmentally responsible business practices—and consumer perception of those practices—is critical to building brand value.
