Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
2011 Buick Regal — Flash Drive
By Staff of MSN Autos
I like my cars to be scalpel-sharp, with accurate and quick responses. The new Buick Regal is not a scalpel, but it's no butter knife, either. It's more like a basic table knife, with responses that are slightly soft but true. The basic chassis and performance hint at its roots as a European sedan, but the Regal's responses are a little more laid-back than even the average American family sedan. Clearly, it's a step forward for today's Buick. In my opinion, however, it's not quite a big enough step. Many auxiliary controls are in awkward locations: The gear-lever indicator isn't lined up with the gear lever itself; the window winders are closer to my elbow than my hand; the side mirrors are strangely shaped and hard to aim correctly. The awkwardness extends to the outside as well; the Regal doesn't look better in person than it looks in pictures. Overall, the new Buick Regal could use some further refinement. –Paul Hagger
General Motors is getting serious about going after younger buyers with Buick, and the latest salvo is the 2011 Regal, a new midsize sport sedan based on the award-winning Opel Insignia developed in Germany. Believe it or not, the Regal really does have the feel of a European sedan: The platform is stiff, and the suspension offers a good balance between control and comfort. Tweaked for the U.S. market, the Regal is a sport sedan with luxury pretensions, and the result is a car that feels balanced and responsive and is a pleasure to drive. The 2.4-liter 182-horsepower direct-injection Ecotec engine delivers good power, and combined with a 6-speed automatic transmission achieves an EPA fuel-efficiency rating of 19 mpg city/30 mpg highway. The exterior design is crisp and clean, and the interior challenges entry-luxury competitors with a luxury feel and standard heated leather seats. –Mike Meredith
The new Regal's design fits in well with the rest of the Buick lineup, which to me means it looks good. But the problem with the new Regal is that there isn't really any standout reason to consider it over the proven competition. The handling is surprisingly good — especially for a Buick — but the tradeoff is a rather stiff ride. The ride is quiet, however, even on rough roads, and while the engine seems to provide plenty of power, it sounds weak, like it's working too hard. Fuel economy is comparable with other 4-cylinder midsize sedans; I observed about 25 mpg in combined city/highway driving. I did find that the more I drove the Regal, the more I liked it, but with a base price on a par with a top-level Hyundai Sonata or Toyota Camry, the Regal may be a tough sell to anyone except those looking for an American premium midsize sedan. –Perry Stern

Regardless of how many games he sells and when he gets them out the door, Guarnieri has already provided a great service for the pinball world. "I don't care what the industry is, you need at least two manufacturers," says pinball designer and writer Roger Sharpe. Sharpe, who worked at Williams during the Pinball 2000 era and whose testimony secured pinball's legality in New York City, says Guarnieri's company serves as a heartening proof of concept to other potential pinball start-ups.
Gary Stern doesn't buy that argument. "We are the only pinball manufacturer in the world," he says. And though he acknowledges that it "will sound arrogant," he tells me that "pinball will survive if Stern Pinball continues to make pinball machines in a meaningful volume."
Despite Stern's protestations, Pinball News editor Martin Ayub believes the reigning pinball king has been forced to step up his game on account of Jersey Jack. After producing a series of simpler, cheaper-to-produce titles in 2010, Ayub says, Stern has now augmented its lineup with "fuller-featured" premium products at a premium price. In addition to the sub-$5,000 "Pro" model of Stern's Avengers machine, you can get various premium versions with extra ramps, LED lighting, and limited-edition designs for around $7,500, more than the cost of the Wizard of Oz. (At this week's Consumer Electronics Show, Stern also showed off smaller machines designed for the home market that will sell for $2,500.)
For his part, Guarnieri believes two pinball companies are better than one: "I hope [Stern sells] a million games and we sell 10 million games," he says. Even so, he intends to keep pressuring his rival: Jersey Jack's next licensed game, The Hobbit, is scheduled for 2014, to coincide with the final movie in Peter Jackson's trilogy. If increased competition breeds superior machines, collectors and nostalgic nerds like me will rejoice.

Ohio man who held 3 women captive commits suicide
Posted at: 09/04/2013 2:00 AM | Updated at: 09/04/2013 8:54 AM
|Print Story
Preliminary autopsy results confirm the Cleveland man convicted of holding three women captive at his home for about a decade hanged himself in prison.
Officials say 53-year-old Ariel Castro was found hanging in his cell around 9:20 p.m. Tuesday at the Correctional Reception Center in Orient, in central Ohio. Prison medical staff performed CPR before Castro was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The Franklin County coroner says an autopsy done early Wednesday showed it was a suicide, and the cause of death was hanging. She said toxicology tests still would be completed in the coming weeks.
A prisons spokeswoman says Castro was in protective custody because of the notoriety of his case, meaning he was checked every 30 minutes. But he was not on suicide watch.

Toys R Us reports sales decline for holiday season
* Increased competition, Sandy aftermath took toll on seasonal sales.
Toys "R" Us played hard to win during this holiday season, but soft demand for video games and toys, a price war with competitors and a superstorm that hurt sales in the Northeast handed the Wayne retailer its worst holiday season since the company put a turnaround plan in place in 2006.
Sales for the combined November-December period at U.S. stores open at least a year fell 4.5 percent, and December comparable store sales slid 1.8 percent, the first time in at least seven years that Toys "R" Us posted a drop in sales for December.
International sales declined 3.5 percent in December and 5.6 percent for the combined November-December period.
Toys "R" Us, which has a proposal for an initial stock offering that's been in limbo since 2010, pulled out 13 major holiday initiatives this year to boost sales. It offered free and extended layaway, promised to match competitors' prices, and opened earlier than ever on Thanksgiving. In the final days before Christmas, it kept its stores open around the clock.
But those efforts weren't enough to overcome extremely weak video game sales, the absence of must-have toys and a price battle that favored chief rivals Wal-Mart Stores, Target and Amazon.
"Wal-Mart has decided toys are a great price football for Christmas. They were out there pounding away on Toys, and they have much more price leverage than Toys," said Howard Davidowitz, chairman of the New York-based national retail consulting and investment banking firm Davidowitz & Associates.
"This holiday was a price game," he said. "Toys 'R' Us is not positioned to win in a price game."
Jim Silver, a longtime toy industry commentator and editor of the website Timetoplaymag.com and other trade publications, said he wasn't surprised by the results because of the impact of superstorm Sandy, which hit one of Toys "R" Us' biggest sales-generating areas, the Northeast. Sandy hurt Toys "R" Us more than Wal-Mart or Target, Silver said, because Toys "R" Us has a higher concentration of its stores along the East Coast.
Toys "R" Us, Silver said, released its "Big Toy Book," its prime advertising circular and a top driver of holiday sales, on Oct. 27, the Saturday before Sandy hit, and lost three weekends of shopping in the Northeast, one before the storm and two after.
Silver said that while some toy manufacturers had good holiday results, the price wars among retailers "were crazy competitive" and that hurt sales figures, with Toys "R" Us offering deals like "buy one toy, get one free."
Chairman and Chief Executive Jerry Storch is in Hong Kong this week for that city's Toy Fair, but he said in a statement released by the company that in addition to the overall softness in the video game and toy industry, "the uncertain economic environment in the U.S. and abroad" also hurt sales.
Storch said his executives focused on "optimizing margin" and operating efficiently in the face of weak sales.
"Moving ahead," Storch said, "we are committed to accelerating distinctive service for our customers both on the Internet and in our stores, and to driving differentiation in our product assortment."
Davidowitz said the holiday 2012 results mean it is unlikely Toys "R" Us will continue to pursue a stock offering. "Their results do not support it," he said. In addition, "the toy industry as a whole is going nowhere." Toys "R" Us did not make any executives available to comment on the results. Toys "R'' Us is expected to release its earnings for the quarter in March.

An Upstate man woke up one morning paralyzed because of a rare disorder, but his faith and family have helped him slowly recover.
These days Michael Garreau gets a kick out of doing work around the yard. He and his wife, Marie, are a young outdoorsy couple just starting their family with their son Tobias.
But two years ago everything changed. After suffering a bout of bronchitis, Michael Garreau woke up one morning paralyzed.
"I tried to get out of my chair and I couldn't get out of my chair," Michael Garreau said.
At first he lost his ability to walk, his legs felt weak and within hours he was in the hospital paralyzed from head to toe. Within three days Michael was on a ventilator and was completely immobile.
Michael Garreau had Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a rare disorder that occurs when the body's immune system suddenly attacks the nervous system. The syndrome is usually triggered by an illness or infection and affects one out of 100,000 people each year.
"As the disease was progressing and getting worse and worse and the idea of death... The possibility of this becoming terminal... I didn't become freaked out," Marie Garreau said. "I couldn't really dwell on that... and some people call that denial... I call it the sovereign hand of God over my eyes saying trust me."
Two years later, Michael Garreau said they very thing he struggled with now motivates him towards recovery. There is no guarantee he will be where he used to be before getting sick, but he has come a long way recovering some of his motor skills.
And Marie Garreau is now pregnant with twin boys.
"You know that God is good and when something like this happens it's like wow," Marie Garreau. "How could a good God cause something like this to happen and it causes you to question and search the scriptures and in that way it tests your faith."
Michael Garreau now shares his faith with his students. He teaches at an Upstate bible college.

By MIKE KRAFCIK6 News Reporter
CHATTANOOGA (WATE) - Grace Christian High School football player Will McKamey is making a quick recovery after a scary injury during a game Friday night.
The senior running back collapsed during the team's game at South Pittsburg. His father said Will suffered a brain injury, but doctors do not expect any permanent damage.
McKamey was recovering over the weekend at Erlanger Medical Center in Chattanooga.
He was released Monday morning from the Intensive Care Unit. His family says he is on track to make a full recovery.
"It's been nothing but good news since Friday," said Randy McKamey, Will's father and Grace Christian head coach.
It's been less than 72 hours since Randy McKamey's son laid motionless on the sideline at South Pittsburg High School.
After scoring a two-point conversion in the fourth quarter, he went to the sideline and collapsed.
"He said before the snap he went deaf, couldn't hear, and after that as he was coming off, things just began to get dark. He grabbed our athletic director, Johnny Cox, and said 'I'm going down'," said Randy McKamey.
Will McKamey injury was caused by a blood vessel that ruptured, but doctors say it wasn't caused by a single hit or play in Friday's game. He didn't even suffer a concussion.
His family said he will beat the odds.
"Will's scan and Will's body don't match. The scan shows a kid that shouldn't be doing what's he doing right now," McKamey said.
Will's condition was described Monday as fragile, but he was awake and alert and communicating regularly.
"It's going to be difficult keeping him quiet and not over-stimulated and not wanting to go out and do. He thinks he's fine and thinks he's Superman," said Kara McKamey, Will's mother.
Doctors said McKamey won't play football again this year, but he is expected to play next year at the Naval Academy.
McKamey wasn't feeling well enough to talk on camera, but the family said it could be any day before he is released and can head back home.
Will's father hopes his son will be to attend the team's playoff games, but he won't be cleared to play.
McKamey is a candidate for the Grace Christian valedictorian and plans to attend medical school after college.

The idea that people under the age of 25 live on their mobile devices has caught on among political consultants. Some believe that if politicians don't make their pitches through mobile technologies, then catching young voters "where they live" becomes infinitely more difficult.
However, engaging young voters, be it through traditional or new media, takes more than just "pitching" a campaign message to them. Luke Farmer, a 21-year old graduate student at the University of Georgia believes that candidates blunder when they treat young voters as a demographic to be fed a marketing campaign rather than as individuals. "They sell us one cookie-cutter candidate after another, when there's no functional difference," Farmer says.
Farmer adds that young voters are well aware of when candidates trying to pitch their campaigns to them and will not vote for candidates they feel won't make a difference. "Our generation, more than any other, knows when someone is trying to sell them something," he says. "If that traditional, inherently conservative model, is obeyed, young people's cynicism will be confirmed and most won't get involved in politics any way."
Political insiders, such as Thomas Bates, vice president for Civic Engagement at the non-profit organization Rock the Vote, says the responsibility for the shortfall in turnout among young voters lies with campaigns that don't ask young people for their votes.
Bates says young people don't have the same kind of voting history as adults because they do not receive mail, phone calls or knocks on their doors from candidates. In addition, Bates says, political advertising dollars are less likely to be spent on the outlets they watch and on platforms where they consume information.
Finally, Bates points out that a number of campaigns in 2010 did not pay enough attention to the youngest generation of voters—and what young people did hear from candidates was irrelevant to their lives and concerns.
But Anna Farrand, a 20-year-old junior at Chapman University in California says that while young people are fickle voters, they can be brought to the ballot box by politicians who talk about issues that are relevant to them.
"Most young people don't have a good idea of what is going on the public policy sphere," she observes. "I think making the issues relevant to them would be more productive than sheer repetition. A lot of young people just don't think it affects them."
For many young people, Farrand adds, "it does not make sense to pay attention to politics and current events because there is no direct benefit. It costs people time and effort to learn about the issues and most young people would rather spend that time and effort doing something directly beneficial."
The common assumption that young people only care about themselves is not accurate, Farrand says. "This millennial generation is actually pretty interested in improving the world around them," she suggests. "They want to tear down institutions and structures in order to improve them."
On the other hand, Farmer, the University of Georgia grad student, says young people have to take some responsibility for engaging themselves. "If we want people to be engaged, we can't count on older generations," he says. "They already have their interests met, because they are already in power. If we want our voices heard, we need to break the marketing model of electioneering and remember that true political engagement is about more than picking between some candidates and going home to watch TV."
Carmen Singleton is an intern at C&E. She is herself a young voter, and cast her first vote in 2008.

text: Janice Ann Phillippi Gulden, 74, of Lexington, Nebraska, died on September 21st, 2013, at her daughter's home in Ogallala, Nebraska, surrounded by her eternal family.Janice was born January 10th, 1939, in Lexington to Leslie I. and Esther L. (Passage) Phillippi of Smithfield, Nebraska; she was the third of five children. Her childhood was happy and filled with love.She attended a rural school near their farm house in Gosper County, attended fifth grade in Smithfield, then attended the Lutheran Parochial School for grades 6, 7 and 8 in Lexington. She graduated from Lexington High School in 1956.Following her graduation, she worked as a nurse's aide, waitress at the Cornland Hotel and then worked for Northwestern Bell Telephone at the Lexington office.She married Darryn W. Gulden of Lexington on June 22nd, 1958. Four daughters were blessed to this happy union: Pam, Kristy, Robin and Penny.Being a wife and mother was central to Janice's life. She was a constant example of Christ, especially evident in the nurturing of her husband, daughters and their spouses, her grandchildren, friends and relatives.Her devotion to her husband was apparent to those who knew her best. She shared many things with him including farming, gardening, canning, traveling, cooking, sewing and knitting, hunting, fishing and crafts.She was a member of First Presbyterian Church in Lexington and most recently, following her relocation to Ogallala, was active in the United Methodist Church at Ogallala.She was involved in Hospice, Relay for Life, Deacon, a Sunday School teacher, Prayer Shawl group, Reach for Recovery, Regular Bunko group member, UMC Circle, numerous Bible studies, babysitting four of her favorite kids; Andrea, Aaron, Joseph, and Whitney, and together, with her husband, was her grandchildren's biggest fans to all activities and endeavors.Janice's legacy will be best remembered in her fight with breast cancer in the 80's. She aided research by volunteering to become a bone marrow transplant recipient in its infant stages – before stem cell research advanced. She continued to contribute research in the long-term study (ies) of its effects.

The death toll reached the thousands and is climbing/ But emergency managers say it's very difficult to verify that number.Many buildings have been destroyed in most of the cities along the coast line. The team from Faith Chapel will be working with the deaf community in the Philippines to teach them how to provide temporary shelter for people in need."The deaf community there is actually going to be building houses and our team is just training the deaf community, the people that are part of that deaf community. And so, they are going to then turn and build houses a lot of the island, a lot of the people that are displaced over there is their housing," says Ben Blakeslee, Communications Director at Faith Chapel.Faith Chapel has worked closely with the International Deaf Education Association in the Philippines for over 10 years.

What is Media?
Electronic media are media that use electronics or electromechanical energy for the end-user (audience) to access the content. This is in contrast to static media (mainly print media), which today are most often created electronically, but don't require electronics to be accessed by the end-user in the printed form. The primary electronic media sources familiar to the general public are better known as video recordings, audio recordings, multimedia presentations, slide presentations, CD-ROM and online content. Most new media are in the form of digital media. However, electronic media may be in either analog electronic data or digital electronic data format (Source: Wikipedia).

Talking about the rewards of fatherhood, a friend and I found ourselves comparing notes last week about how different we were from our own fathers.
Among baby boomer dads I know, this is a familiar conversation. My dad worked a lot, they say. There wasn't much time for talking about what was going on in my life.
When my time came, they add, I wanted to be closer to my kids.
If dads were different from one generation to the next, we shouldn't be surprised. It's tough to recall two generations that grew up in such different circumstances.
The Greatest Generation was tempered by the experiences of the Great Depression and World War II. Hard work and sacrifice were required. Roles assigned to men and women were dictated by customs that existed for centuries. Dads were the breadwinners and the disciplinarians, and they went about their duties with devotion and with stoicism.
Thanks to the hard work and ingenuity of the generation that preceded them, the baby boomers grew up in a time of unprecedented prosperity. For better and for worse, material comforts created opportunities that didn't exist for previous generations.
Sometimes, we took advantage of these new freedoms. Sometimes, we wandered into the weeds.
If our dads' generation tended to be the strong, silent types, baby boomers were encouraged to talk about their feelings, and sometimes it seemed like we would never shut up. (Some were even comfortable with writing columns about fatherhood.)
Growing rates of divorce made an impact, too. Suddenly, there were more part-time and full-time single fathers learning to manage new responsibilities — diapers, day care, school clothes.
Meanwhile, the recognition that women have the same rights as men when it comes to making career choices (and everything else) required men to take on more of the workload at home.
The Pew Research Center found that mothers are now the primary breadwinners in 40 percent of all families, the Associated Press reported last week. Another Pew study found that since 1965, fathers have increased the number of hours devoted to household chores from four hours to 10 hours a week, and dads have tripled the time they spend with their children.

The feature-rich binoculars can be used for a variety of outdoor activities such as bird-watching, wildlife-tracking, hiking and trekking.
The binoculars have a magnification of 8x. When you are out on a nature viewing trip and have to view subjects at a far way distance, you can easily do it with the Vanguard Venture as you can get 8 times closer to the subject. The images produced are clear and remain steady even when fully magnified.
The Vanguard Venture binoculars have a sleek and rugged finish. The ergonomic body allows you to hold onto the binoculars for extended sessions of viewing. The grip is firm and comfortable. The binoculars have a center focus that is located between the 2 viewing barrels, while the diopter adjustment lies on the right eyepiece.
The Vanguard Venture 8420B can be used in any season or weather condition as they are waterproof. The binoculars can handle an occasional slip under water as they are watertight to a depth of 1 m. If you have viewing trips planned in the winter months, you can easily carry these binoculars to those events as the binoculars are Nitrogen-charged, making them fog proof. The Venture binoculars use o-ring sealing technology that helps in keeping unwanted elements outside.
The Vanguard Venture has twist-out eyecups that are especially useful when you are viewing with glasses. They can be easily pulled out to see the entire field of view, without straining your eyes.

The binoculars have a center focus with a diopter adjustment. You can adjust the focus using the central inter focusing knob. The focus is clear and precise even for long range subjects. The binoculars have a close focus of 4 m. You can further fine-tune the focus using the easy-adjust diopter adjustment ring.
The binoculars will be a favourite for those who wear glasses as the Vanguard Venture has an eye relief of 19 mm. The large eye relief makes visibility clear, even when the binoculars are not held close to the eyes. The Venture binoculars have a 6.2° angle of view, letting you effortlessly pan across wide environments.

hv been using this stff for more than 6 months basically for birding.though its optically much inferior to monarch series from nikon,but it did perfectly fit into my pocket :)after going through several models from olympus,nikon,celestron,i found his one being cheapest roof prism(as well fog proof) with eyerelief being 19.this eyerelief is a nodal parameter for those wearing glass(like me)glass wearers should have binoculars of eyerelief more than 15 otherwise they hv to put binocular before naked eyes or feild of vision wil be drastically narrowed.roof prism binos usually hav better eyerel... (Expand)
The product is well constructed for good bird watching. The optics are clear and it is placed inside a rugged body. The eye piece is comfortable for all users.
I choose this Binoc for gifting my friend who is interested in bird watching. She is happy and shocked to see such a wonderful gift.
Thanks to flipkart for delivering on the right time.

CONYERS — Area residents are cautioned to be aware of their surroundings after bank customers have reported their vehicles broken into shortly have completing bank transactions.
The Conyers Police Department reported that victims have had their vehicles broken into at their homes or at business locations after leaving local bank branches.
The CPD offers these theft prevention tips:
• Never take a business deposit to the bank alone. Make it your business policy to always have two personnel make bank runs.
• Do not openly carry bank bags or transaction envelopes into or out of the branch. Conceal your items in a purse or pocket when possible.
• Never leave a bank deposit or withdrawal in an unattended vehicle. Even if the bank bag is concealed in the glove box or console, the thief may still break in looking for valuables.
• Always be aware of your surroundings. Most banks do not permit you to be on your cell phone while inside, so make it a habit of no calls or texts while anywhere on the premises. This way, you can avoid distractions and scan the parking lot to ensure you are not being followed to your next location.
On July 1 a woman reported that someone stole $1,000 from her locked car after she withdrew the money from Wells Fargo Bank and then went to Target on Ga. Highway 20 South. The woman told police she put the money in a zippered bag and hid it under the car seat before going into the store.
Police said the victim was possibly followed from the bank. Security video showed one suspect arrived in a gold van, possibly a Chevrolet, and followed the victim inside Target. A second suspect then broke into the victim's vehicle before leaving the scene in a red SUV, possibly a Jeep.
When the victim returned to her car about 30 minutes later, she found the driver's side window of her car shattered and the money and zippered bag gone.
Anyone with information on the suspects in this case is asked to contact Detective Beaucher at 770 929-4216 or by email at email@example.com. Anonymous tips may be called in to 770 483-TIPS (8477).
A similar incident was reported in the Arby's parking lot on Ga. Highway 138 in November. According to the CPD, the victim had just left Bank of America when the suspect, now identified as Warren Oneal Jackson, 42, shattered their car window and stole an undisclosed amount of cash. Police are looking for Jackson, whose last known address is 365 Hooper St., Atlanta. Anyone with information on his whereabouts should contact the Conyers Police Department at 770-483-6600 or the anonymous tip line 770 483-TIPS (8477).

Folate is a B-complex vitamin found naturally in fruits and vegetables. The word folate is derived from the Latin word "folium," which means leaf, so, as you would expect from the name, folate is found in leafy vegetables like spinach. Dry beans, asparagus, avocado, strawberries, papaya, corn, broccoli, and citrus fruits are also good sources.
Folic acid is a synthetic form of folate. It's found in dietary supplements, and it's used to enrich or fortify some processed foods. They're similar in structure, but your body absorbs folic acid better than folate.
Why Your Body Needs Folate and Folic Acid
Your body can use either folic acid or folate to make deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA), which contain the blueprints of all your cells. So, both folate and folic acid are important for cell division and growth. Chronic folate deficiency may lead to a form of anemia. Women who are deficient at conception or during the first trimester of pregnancy are at risk of giving birth to babies who have neural tube defects, including spina bifida and anencephaly.
Taking folic acid every day reduces this risk and since the United States Food and Drug Administration required enrichment of grain and cereal products, the rate of these neural tube defects has dropped significantly. Alcoholics, people with liver disease, and people who take certain medications or undergo kidney dialysis are also more likely to be deficient in folate and may benefit from folic acid fortified foods or supplements.
Research Studies
Folate and folic acid have both been associated with cancer and heart health. Scientists who looked at large population studies found that people who ate folate-rich foods had lower risks of certain cancers and cardiovascular disease. This led to people taking folic acid supplements with the hopes of reducing those risks. It made some sense because folate is important to cell division and damage to DNA can lead to cancer, and folic acid reduces blood levels of a protein called homocysteine. Elevated levels of homocysteine are also associated with higher risk of cardiovascular disease.
However, when it comes to nutrition, dietary supplements and health risk, population studies can really only find correlations and not direct causes, so randomized controlled trials were needed to see if folic acid supplements truly had any benefit. Unfortunately, those follow-up studies haven't found that taking folic acid reduces any risk of cancer or cardiovascular disease. So while taking folic acid on a daily basis may correct a folate deficiency, taking amounts above 400 micrograms isn't going to help your heart or prevent cancer.
Folic Acid Safety
The Institute of Medicine sets the tolerable upper limit (upper safety level) of folic acid as 1,000 micrograms per day, but there is no upper limit set or natural folate intake from foods - you can eat as much as you'd like.
Although folic acid supplements are safe, taking them in large amounts can mask a vitamin B-12 deficiency, which can result in neurological damage if the B12 deficiency is not corrected, so if you should speak with your health care provider before taking folic acid supplements beyond what is found in fortified foods.

A Henderson County couple reported missing Monday was found dead in Texas on Friday afternoon, according to deputies.
Capt. Frank Stout, of the sheriff's office, said that Dr. Leslie Cargile, 53, and her husband, 58-year-old William Cargile Jr., left their Tuxedo home for a weekend trip and never returned.
Stout said they were contacted by the staff at Leslie Cargile's practice in Black Mountain when she did not show up for work Monday morning.
A check of the couple's home did not turn up anything suspicious, Stout said. He said nothing has been found that would lead deputies to believe foul play was involved in their disappearance.
On Friday, deputies said that the couple left their home about noon on Saturday and arrived in Mobile, AL, at 8:19 p.m., where they checked into a hotel. They said the couple checked out the following morning and had not been seen since.
Galveston police told FOX Carolina that the Cargiles' bodies were found in a motel room just before 2 p.m. Friday. Police did not immediately release how the couple died, but did say they did not suffer gunshot or stab wounds.
An autopsy has been scheduled.
An answering service for Leslie Cargile's practice said the office was closed indefinitely as of 5 p.m. Thursday. They tell us you can request your medical records in writing and it should include your full name, date of birth and location where you want them sent. You should send the request to:
FamilyCare Home

Not unless Josh Barnett is on the schedule, apparently. Then come early, get a good seat, and enjoy the show.
On Thursday afternoon in a Hilton conference room, Barnett took an event that's usually a forgettable photo op and turned it into sports theater. Drawing upon his extensive experience as a pro wrestler in Japan, he worked a full match with his sparring partner – "The Hammer" – on the small blue mat where other fighters had contented themselves with a few short minutes of shadow-boxing or mitt work.
Which is not to say he confined himself to that small mat. As Barnett and "Hammer" cranked one another's arms and raked each other's eyes, the action spilled out into the gallery, with Barnett tossing his counterpart into a punching bag at one point, just because. Because why not make full use of your environment?
Whether Barnett was trying to entertain us or himself, it was hard to say. When he finally ended the match (a brutal clothesline led to a figure-four leglock that forced "Hammer" to tap out, somewhat unfairly since there was no ring rope for him to crawl to or devious manager to help him), Barnett held court on the mat and cut a WWE-quality promo for members of the media.
The subject of this soliloquy? Hard times. And, to a lesser extent, the degree to which Brett Rogers does and does not understand them. For those of you who want to appreciate it in text form, it went a little something like this:
"Hard times have been on Josh Barnett. Dealing with athletic commissions. Everybody's saying, 'You did this and you did that. You're the problem for this.' That's hard times. Hard times on my family. Hard times on my friends. Hard times on me. Hard times is not being able to get a fight. Hard times is, knowing the company, waking up one day and seeing they been sold to your competitor, not knowing what you're going to do. Where's my contract at? Where's my money? Where's my security? Who says I'm going to that shot now? Having that on your mind, that's hard times.
And then, you get this big old Brett Rogers in front of you. He thinks he knows what's tough. He thinks he's going to make a name off of my head, so I got to get up every morning, break of dawn. I got to get those running shoes on, hit that concrete, get those miles under my feet. My knees are aching. My body is sore. I got guys like Hammer beating on me every single day. I got my body breaking down, my mind getting pushed. Feeling the effects of fourteen years of fighting. Feeling the effects of trying to put yourself in the best position you can be in. Wake up every day having to deal with that? That's what hard times is about.
But I'm going to tell you what, Brett Rogers. Come Saturday, the American Airlines Arena, I'm going to give you a lesson in hard times. I'm going to take all that anger and all that pain – everything that I have been through, everything my family has been through, everything my coaches have been through (Amen) – and I'm going to put that on you. I'm going to put that on you, Brett Rogers, and I'm going to show you exactly what hard times is about. Because when you get in the ring with Josh Barnett – wooooooo! – who wants to see that, brother? Not you, Brett Rogers. Not you. You don't want to see that. You don't want to see that."
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you end an open workout. With a 350-word rant.
For the sake of comparison, Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was 278 words. Hamlet's 'To be or not to be' soliloquy? 277 words. And neither Lincoln nor Shakespeare knew a wristlock from a wristwatch, so Barnett has that on them, too.
This, obviously, is the character of Josh Barnett. The persona. The real person is intelligent, witty, sarcastic, and self-effacing (when it serves him), but he also has a better grasp on English grammar.
And yet, in a way the Barnett character addressed the issues plaguing the real Barnett in a way that felt more genuine than what we've gotten used to hearing from him lately. If you bring up athletic commissions, failed steroid tests, or his rocky relationship with UFC president Dana White to the real Barnett, you can practically see the protective wall going up. The answers that come back to you are pre-packaged, and the questions, he doesn't mind letting you know, are more than a little annoying to him.
Even though the "Hard Times" speech is a performance (and a pretty solid one, actually), it also feels weirdly real. Barnett actually has gone through some hard times lately, and even if they're hard times mostly of his own making, the frustration is probably no less genuine. Why not turn them into a subject for this pro wrestler schtick? Maybe it's even easier to confront it head-on when he does it this way, as an entertainer.
And make no mistake, Barnett is a born entertainer. Both Strikeforce and the UFC could use more guys like him, and he knows it. As long as he can back it in up in the cage, his talents as a showman may prove to be the saving grace at this pivotal time in a troubled career.

Typical. You make the assumption that being a journalist gives you a special role with regard to your opinion vs those of the people.
You characterize Topix (a competitor to your company) as "riddled with untruths, exaggerations and ignorant accusations against local residents" as if the posters on Topix were not also of and by Uticans.
Let me point out to you and your journalism professor that the first documented anonymous speech in America was Ben Franklin's "The SIlence Dogood letters", and that the tone and tenor of the newspapers in the first days of the Republic was something that our founding fathers would recognize in Topix. Check out what Hamilton and Jefferson had to say about each other:
According to Quantcast, your publication gets approximately 80k visitors from the Utica area, whilst Topix gets about 32k from that same DMA. So in just your city we are about a third of how large you, a dedicated local newspaper with decades of history, are -- so with regard to your statement:
"I want to believe these people do not represent my hometown. Actually, I know they dont."
let me just say first that you're wrong -- the people on our site in the Utica forum are just as representative of Utica as you (or your newspaper) are, and there are 400+ of them on our site in that forum as I write this, and also that we've had posts from tens of thousands of people in our Utica forum over the past several years.
Who are you to say that you represent Utica and that the average Utican who is given a worldwide platform for their opinions and viewpoints, is not?
The Supreme court has consistently held that anonymous speech is essential to the freedom of speech. Sorry that the editorial control of Utica is no longer in the hands of a journalistic elite, but rather in those of your fellow Uticans.
How appropriate that right after our nation's July 4th birthday, that I'd have the opportunity to protect the freedom of speech from that most insidious of enemies - a hand wringing journalist afraid of what people really think.
Chris Tolles
CEO Topix

Health experts: 'We can - and will - beat heart disease'
British Heart Foundation says it hopes its new campaign, Fight for Every Heartbeat, will gain the support of people in Wales and help save lives.
– Professor Mark Kearney, BHF researcher and cardiologist
Heart disease devastates too many lives. Every day in the clinic I hate seeing its impact on children, parents and grandparents. I'm searching for a breakthrough to put an end to the suffering. But medical research costs money and the BHF urgently needs support to rid the UK of heart disease and the misery it brings.
– Professor Peter Weissberg, BHF Medical Director
We're fighting for every heartbeat - regardless of a person's postcode. Our new campaign will bring this urgent fight to the public's attention. With the support of people living in Wales we can, and will, beat heart disease.

Test Center review: Coghead clicks for non-coders
Web application for building Web applications shines with easy GUI for code-free development, but troubleshooting may require real programmersFollow @infoworld
The relentless drive to control every part of the world from a browser-based widget is now turning on itself. Not only are all of our desktop applications being replaced with HTML, but the act of creating a Web application itself has moved to the Web. The new platform from Coghead lets anyone build Web applications by pointing and clicking at another Web application. The only time you need to edit ASCII is when you're putting labels on columns and widgets.
This development shouldn't be surprising. Many of the AJAX toolkit makers like JackBe and Backbase built their own development environments out of their own toolkit, a nice gesture of eating their own dog food. Coghead takes this trend to the logical end by encouraging anyone in any coffee shop with free Wi-Fi to just log right into a free account, click a few times to spin up a data structure, and roll out the application. Coghead's cloud, built firmly on Amazon's cloud foundation, does the rest. Your new application then appears on the Web as a cloud to your users, an effect that turns the word "cloudy" into a compliment.
[ Coghead is one of many Web-based development tools for business users. Read about other "Application builders in the sky." ]
It's not surprising that the Coghead folks like to talk about how their customers are building cool applications without writing any lines of code. Programmers themselves invented this conceit when they started telling their managers that the new XML configuration files would let the managers control the software without doing any coding. Ha.
What this statement really means is that anyone can whip up a Web application without typing ASCII words in some C-like syntax that needs to be parsed by a compiler. You just drag and drop some form widgets onto pages and the data model morphs to support it. If you improve a customer contact entry form by inserting a new pull-down menu for favorite baksheesh, a nice column for baksheesh appears in the database table holding the information on all of the customers. It's all automatic. It's a lovely way to build up a few tables by just drafting the forms.
Coding no, programming yes
Creating a complete application, though, requires doing some of the abstract thinking that programmers will recognize as something that they do every day. Cleaning up the data model, dealing with incongruities, planning for future expansion, and good refactoring are all still necessary. You may not be typing ASCII code in a C-like syntax as you do it, but I think most programmers will think of it as programming in much the same way as kids see right through a parent's attempt to relabel yard work as character building, nature reintegration, or Vitamin D therapy.
The real work for the programming part of your brain is creating the architecture for your data. Coghead wisely chose a fairly flexible data model where XQueries search through the data structures. A more traditional relational database usually requires plenty of JOINS and extra matching tables for many-to-many relationships. This makes collections of objects attached to other objects a bit simpler, and that helps with the overall appearance of the application.

PLANO -- To avoid infecting anyone else, Labre Sims waits outside in the rain for medicine for her two flu-stricken four-year-old boys.
"CVS was out," Sims said of the pediatric version of Tamiflu. "[CVS] called me and told me to come over here to get the children's formula."
Texas Star in Plano is a compounding pharmacy with the ability to transform adult-strength Tamiflu into pediatric liquid form and doses. Pharmacist Donna Barsky said she's getting a lot of referrals.
"I know that a lot of chain pharmacies have begun to run out of their stock," Barsky said. "So, a lot of times, they will call me to see what I have or if I can compound it for them. And we help them out."
Pharmacies across the country are experiencing Tamiflu shortages.
Experts blame an early and extended flu season for depleting the supply. There are far fewer doses of pediatric oral suspension liquid manufactured annually. This year, the FDA expanded the approved use of Tamiflu (oseltamivir) to treat children younger than one and as young as two weeks old who have shown symptoms of flu for no longer than two days.
Tamiflu doesn't cure influenza, but it can shorten the duration if it's taken in the first two days of symptoms.
The shortage is so severe that Canadian federal officials have decided to release Tamiflu from the country's national emergency stockpile.
Labre Sims is relieved that even though she had to go out of her way, her twin boys will get the medicine they need to recover faster.
"It's no fun -- sleepless nights," Sims said.
Her entire family received a flu shot. The twins still tested positive for a Type B influenza. About 30 percent of Type B flu this year is a strain not covered by the vaccine, according to the CDC.
The flu vaccine is designed to last a full season. It's protection is not 100 percent effective, but can lessen the severity of influenza, if the virus is contracted.
