Officials: US training Syrian forces in Jordan to boost anti-Assad forces, stem extremist sway
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The United States is training secular Syrian fighters in Jordan in a bid to bolster forces battling President Bashar Assad's regime and stem the influence of Islamist radicals among the country's persistently splintered opposition, American and foreign officials said.
The training has been conducted for several months now in an unspecified location, concentrating largely on Sunnis and tribal Bedouins who formerly served as members of the Syrian army, officials told The Associated Press. The forces aren't members of the leading rebel group, the Free Syrian Army, which Washington and others fear may be increasingly coming under the sway of extremist militia groups, including some linked to al-Qaida, they said.
The operation is being run by U.S. intelligence and is ongoing, officials said, but those in Washington stressed that the U.S. is providing only nonlethal aid at this point. Others such as Britain and France are involved, they said, though it's unclear whether any Western governments are providing materiel or other direct military support after two years of civil war that according to the United Nations already has killed more than 70,000 people.
The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly about the program.
Officially, the Obama administration has been vague on the subject of what type of military training it may be providing, while insisting that it is doing all it can -- short of providing weapons to the rebels or engaging in its own military intervention -- to hasten the demise of the Assad family's four-decade dictatorship.
Cyprus: Bankruptcy averted, but banks to stay closed until Thursday
NICOSIA, Cyprus (AP) -- Cyprus ordered banks to remain closed for two more days over fears of a run by customers trying to get their money out, after striking a pre-dawn bailout deal Monday that averted the country's imminent bankruptcy.
The sudden midnight postponement of the much anticipated Tuesday bank opening by all but the country's two largest lenders was sure to hammer businesses already reeling from more than a week of no access to their deposits.
ATMs have been dispensing cash but often run out, and an increasing number of stores and other businesses have stopped accepting credit or debit cards. The two largest lenders, the struggling Laiki and Bank of Cyprus, have imposed a daily withdrawal limit of 100 euros ($130).
Cyprus clinched an eleventh-hour deal with the 17-nation eurozone and the International Monetary Fund early Monday for a 10 billion euro ($13 billion) bailout. Without it, the country's banks would have collapsed, dragging down the economy and potentially pushing it out of the euro.
Under the deal, the country agreed to slash its oversized banking sector and inflict hefty losses on large depositors in troubled banks.
10 Things to Know for Tuesday
Your daily look at late-breaking news, upcoming events and the stories that will be talked about Tuesday:
The operation, run by U.S. intelligence, has been going on quietly in Jordan for several months.
NJ man, 44, wins $338M Powerball jackpot; he tells media outlets he will help his family
PASSAIC, N.J. (AP) -- The winner of a $338 million Powerball jackpot told several media outlets Monday that his first priority will be helping his family.
Pedro Quezada, 44, entered Eagle Liquors store, where the ticket was sold, late Monday afternoon. The Passaic store owner ran Quezada's ticket through the lottery machine to validate that it was a winner as a newspaper and television outlets recorded the moment.
The New Jersey Lottery confirmed that the winning ticket was validated at the store at 4:30 p.m. Monday, but officials said they didn't yet know the winner's name.
Quezada, an immigrant from the Dominican Republic, told reporters in Spanish that he was "very happy" and that he intends to help his family.
His wife, Ines Sanchez, told the Bergen Record that Quezada called her with the news Monday afternoon.
It's not cheap to guarantee a seat for the Supreme Court's gay marriage cases
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The most expensive ticket to "The Book of Mormon" on Broadway: $477. The face value of a great seat for this year's Super Bowl: $1,250. Guaranteed seats to watch the U.S. Supreme Court hear this week's gay marriage cases: about $6,000.
Tickets to the two arguments that begin Tuesday are technically free. But getting them requires lining up days or hours ahead, or paying someone else to. The first people got in line Thursday, bringing the price of saving a seat to around $6,000.
For some, putting a value on the seats is meaningless.
"It's just not possible," said Fred Sainz a spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign, the nation's largest gay rights organization, which began employing two people to stand in line Thursday.
The court will hear arguments Tuesday over California's ban on same-sex marriage. On Wednesday, the court will take up the federal Defense of Marriage Act, the 1996 federal law that defines marriage as between one man and one woman. Supporters and opponents of same-sex marriage say the cases are so potentially historic that they want to be inside the courtroom to watch, no matter what the cost in time or money.
Kerry, Karzai show rare US-Afghan unity, as US turns over detention center
KABUL (AP) -- Eager to overcome a bout of bickering, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Afghan President Hamid Karzai made a show of unusual unity between their two nations on Monday. The friendly display came as the U.S. military ceded control of its last detention facility in Afghanistan, ending a longstanding irritant in relations.
Kerry arrived in the Afghan capital of Kabul on an unannounced visit amid concerns that Karzai may be jeopardizing progress in the war against extremism with anti-American rhetoric. After a private meeting, Kerry said he and Karzai were "on the same page" on security and reconciliation issues and brushed aside suggestions that relations were in peril.
Karzai infuriated U.S. officials earlier this month by accusing Washington of colluding with Taliban insurgents to keep Afghanistan weak even as the Obama administration pressed ahead with plans to hand off security responsibility to Afghan forces and end NATO's combat mission by the end of next year.
At a joint news conference after their talks, Karzai told reporters that his comments in a nationally televised speech had been misinterpreted by the media. Kerry demurred on that point but said people sometimes say things in public that reflect ideas they have heard from others but don't necessarily agree with.
"I am confident the president (Karzai) does not believe the U.S. has any interest except to see the Taliban come to the table to make peace and that we are completely cooperative with the government of Afghanistan with respect to the protection of their efforts and their people," Kerry said. He noted that he had specifically raised the comment in question with Karzai and was satisfied with the response.
Investigators find link between suspect's gun and Colo. corrections chief but motive unknown
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) -- Colorado corrections chief Tom Clements and his wife were watching television when the doorbell rang last Tuesday night. Clements opened the door and was shot to death.
"My life was changed forever," Lisa Clements told hundreds of people, including corrections guards and officials from around the country, who gathered at a memorial service for her husband Monday.
Nearly a week after Clements' death, investigators in Colorado say the gun suspect Evan Ebel used in a shootout with authorities in Texas is the same one used to kill Clements. However, they don't know yet whether Ebel is the person who shot Clements, whether he acted alone and what motivated the slaying of a corrections' chief admired by prisoner advocates and prison guards alike. Authorities warned that could take some time.
Until investigators determine whether Ebel, paroled from Colorado's prison system, in January, acted alone, "it's hard to know what his role was," Lt. Jeff Kramer of the El Paso County Sheriff's Office told The Associated Press.
"He remains a suspect in our investigation, obviously, especially after receiving this confirmed link from Texas," he said.
What spring? Storm dumps foot or more of snow across Midwest, carpets eastern US
HAMBURG, Pa. (AP) -- Five days into spring, warm weather and budding flowers were just a rumor Monday as the East Coast endured another blast of winter.
A wide-ranging storm that buried parts of the Midwest weakened as it moved east but still managed to carpet lawns and fields in a fresh layer of white. Many schools opened late or closed early, and hundreds of flights were canceled.
The cold temperatures and miserable mixture of snow and rain had people longing for more agreeable weather.
"I'm ready for flip flops," said Jessica Cunitz, 24 of Westchester County, N.Y., who stopped at a gas station along Interstate 78 in Pennsylvania to fill her overheating car with antifreeze. "It's supposed to be spring."
In Maryland, Michael Pugh donned a wool coat, knit cap, waterproof pants and heavy boots to trudge more than a mile through four inches of wet snow to his bank in downtown Hagerstown, about 70 miles west of Baltimore. He pronounced the weather "dreadful."
How do you burn through billions? A look at Boris Berezovsky's disappearing fortune
LONDON (AP) -- How do you burn through billions?
The death of Boris Berezovsky, whose body was found Saturday inside his upscale English home, has refocused attention on the fantastic wealth racked up by Russia's ruthless oligarchs -- and their propensity for spending it. Berezovsky, 67, had once been considered Russia's richest man -- but by this January, a British judge was wondering whether the tycoon would be able to pay his debts.
Police say post mortem examinations have found that Berezovsky died from hanging. There was no violent struggle, and no evidence of anyone else being involved, they said. His lawyer said the oligarch had been in "a horrible, terrible" emotional state. The tycoon had survived several assassination attempts, including a 1994 car bomb in Moscow, and there was speculation as to whether his death was natural, part of a conspiracy or a suicide.
To understand how one man could lose so much money, it helps to see how he made it in the first place.
LeBron flirts with triple-double, Heat pull away to top Magic 108-94 and win 27th straight
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) -- LeBron James badly missed a layup, got angry and committed a foul after the rebound. It was late in the third quarter, the game was tied and this Miami Heat winning streak seemed to be in jeopardy.
On the next possession, he threw down a fierce dunk.
Everything changed in that instant. The game became a runaway, and the Heat moved another step closer to the 1971-72 Los Angeles Lakers and the greatest streak in the history of the league.
James finished with 24 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds, and the Heat won their 27th straight game by pulling away down the stretch to beat the Orlando Magic 108-94 on Monday night.
That dunk started what became a 20-2 run over merely a 4½-minute portion of the third and fourth quarters, and it put the Heat in control for good.

Escape to Hort ParkA couple of friends and I were trying to think of a good hideaway for the weekend and decided to visit somewhere close to nature: Hort Park. It is a quaint park nestled near the harbor front in Singapore with endearing horticulture and shrubs.

Here is the answer to Problem 4 in Windows PowerShell Mini-Scripting Games 2014.
Since being diagnosed with peroneal muscular atrophy at age 15, corporate lawyer and newly appointed Nominated Member of Parliament Chia Yong Yong's nervous and muscular disorder has degenerated, causing her to rely on a wheelchair and other forms of support. Despite her disabilities, her family was adamant that she receive the education she wanted and deserved. Yong Yong has gone on to become an accomplished attorney and a passionate advocate for the rights of people with disabilities.
Where were you when you fell in love with water?
Everyone has their own story of when and where they fell in love with water. And you probably remember who you were with, the weather, and maybe even what you were wearing. Being in, on, under, or near water comes with big benefits, says Dr. Wallace J. Nichols, research associate at the California Academy of Sciences and founder/codirector of Ocean Revolution, SEEtheWILD, and LiVBLUE.
Here is the answer to the third question in Mini-Scripting Games 2014.
The future of cybersecurity will be influenced by more than just technical factors like the spread of malware, or even targeted cyber-attacks. Global responses to social issues such as population growth, educational investments, or even trade liberalization will also play a significant role.
Continuing our series examining what cybersecurity will look like in the year 2025, let's look at how the technology and social policy decisions addressing important issues, will influence three scenarios we believe could emerge in the next 10 years —Peak, Plateau, and Canyon. Each of which are demonstrated in our report, Cyberspace 2025: Today's Decisions, Tomorrow's Terrain.
According to the report, growth will likely have the biggest impact on cybersecurity. Growth means more people, more devices, more connectivity, and more data. India, for example, will experience growth of more than 3,000 percent in its total number of broadband subscriptions, from about 20 million in 2012 to more than 700 million. In contrast, during the same period, the entire European Union (28 countries/regions) will add only 105 million new broadband subscriptions, from nearly 143 million in 2012 to 248 million in 2025.

People who live in Albany neighborhoods where public schools could be shut down are concerned about the impact that could have on their communities.
To save money, the school board is considering a plan to close two schools in east Albany and repurpose one in west Albany. Critics on the east side say that would be another blow to their part of town.
Ricky Farrow lives across the street from Sylvester Road Elementary School. And like many others in the neighborhood, he was shocked to hear the school may close. "I thought there were a lot of kids in there, because there is a lot of traffic in here in the mornings," he said.
But there are not enough kids and that's the problem. Due to a declining student population in Dougherty County, a consultant is recommending board members close down Dougherty Middle School, Sylvester Road Elementary and Re-purpose Magnolia Elementary School.
It would help use taxpayers money more efficiently and streamline operations but hundreds of kids would have to switch schools. "He has been going to this school since kindergarten," said Jhawaski Morris. She's concerned about her son's education since a switch could take some schools up to 98% full.
"They are not going to be able to learn with to many kids in a classroom like that," said Morris. "What are they going to do with the building? Are they going to leave it, let vandals tear it up?" Farrow is concerned about crime. "If no one is going to come by to check on this building who is going to come by in the middle of the night to make sure no one is trying to break in."
Chris Bailey, a former student athlete at Dougherty Middle, says he's concerned about the impact on sports. "I think it's a big problem they are trying to take away our feeder school for our high school."
Commissioner John Howard lives near Dougherty Middle and two of the schools on the chopping block are in his ward. He's concerned about the economic impact this would have in East Albany. "It would be another eyesore, and I can attest, east Albany does not need another eyesore."
They are hoping to get those answers at next week's public hearings. That first hearing starts Monday at 5:00. The second will be February 7th at noon, both in the board room of the school administration building.

Veteran pulls off D-Day mission
3:22pm Friday 6th June 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
An 89-year-old veteran reported missing from a nursing home was found in France marking the anniversary of the D-Day landings.
The pensioner, who left wearing his war medals, has contacted the home and said his friends are going to make sure he gets back safely when the commemorations end.
Sussex Police were called at 7.15pm yesterday by staff at a nursing home in Hove who said an 89-year-old who lived there had gone out at 10.30am and had not been seen since.
He had gone out wearing a grey mack and a jacket underneath with his war medals on, police said.
Officers began searching the area, including checking hospitals in case something had happened to him, and spoke to bus and taxi companies, but none of them knew where he was.
The nursing home received a phone call from a younger veteran from Brighton at 10.30pm who said he had met the pensioner on a coach on the way to France and that they were safe and well in a hotel in Ouistreham.
In a statement, Sussex Police added: "We have spoken to the veteran who called the home today and are satisfied that the pensioner is fine and that his friends are going to ensure he gets back to Hove safely over the next couple of days after the D-Day celebrations finish.
"Once the pensioner is home we will go and have a chat with him to check he is ok."
Chief Superintendent Nev Kemp, Police Commander for the City of Brighton & Hove, also tweeted: "Love this:89yr old veteran reported missing by care home who said he can't go to Normandy for #DDay70 remembrance. We've found him there!"
Sussex Police said they would not be naming the man or the nursing home.

How dare they tell him he can't go to Normandy to join in the anniversary remembrance. Surely to God he's earned the right. As you would expect of his generation, he was determined not to be thwarted. That indomitable spirit is why we have the freedom which we all have today. Sadly, the mean-spirited gits who run this care home tried to deny him his freedom. Hats off and thank-you and your comrades for your sacrifices Sir. Come on Mr Plod, name the nursing home and let them hear what we think and hang their heads in shame.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) - A New Jersey lawmaker wants to let foreign gambling companies set up shop in the state and be subject to New Jersey's famously tough casino regulation.
The payoff would be a 15 percent tax on their winnings, plus payments into a fund to raise $20 million a year for three years for New Jersey's struggling horse racing industry.
State Sen. Raymond Lesniak says the foreign companies would set up servers in New Jersey but would exclude American players.
Lesniak says many overseas gambling companies are eager to submit to New Jersey's regulations and receive the stamp of approval for their operations that such oversight would confer.
New Jersey will become the third state in the nation to offer Internet gambling. A five-day test period begins at 6 p.m. Thursday.

Railroad-crossing work to close Harmony Road
That's because the city will close Harmony west of South Timberline Road for almost a week as Union Pacific upgrades its railroad-crossing for Harmony's new lanes.
The intersection already has caused confusion among drivers as barrels have blocked off new lanes for months. Tim Kemp, a capital projects engineer for the city, says he has fielded many phone calls about the continued obstruction of what people assumed was a completed road-widening project.
"It's definitely something that I know is frustrating," Kemp said.
People, of course, wonder why the construction barrels have remained in the new lanes. Turns out, the existing railroad crossing signals only meet standards for the old four-lane configuration. They do not meet the requirements for the new six-lane configuration.
The city had planned to complete the railroad-crossing upgrades this past summer during the road-widening construction. However, the project was delayed because the city and Union Pacific had not completed agreements required to finish the job.
The city and Union Pacific thought they had a solution in mind but the Colorado Public Utilities Commission put the brakes on the railroad-crossing project, Kemp said. So, the city went ahead with the road-widening portion of the construction while leaving the railroad crossing for later.
"We knew that we could get most of the work done except for the crossing," Kemp said.
All this will lead the city to shut down the stretch of Harmony where railroad tracks run across Harmony west of Timberline in February. The shutdown also will allow Union Pacific to replace rails as it also builds a 6-foot-wide bike line on the westbound portion of Harmony.
Funded by a $350,000 federal grant, the new railroad-crossing signals, bike lane and railroad track improvements will be completed by late February. In all, the construction is estimated to last six days.
"As we get a little bit closer, we'll be able to identify and let the public know the exact dates," Kemp said. "There's going to be a lot of outreach and coordination once we get those final dates."
The city will set up detours for motorists, and police will maintain a presence in the area. Motorists also will be able to make U-turns from both sides of the closure to reach businesses in the area. South Timberline Road at its intersection with Harmony will remain open.
Once the project is completed, those orange barrels will be history.
Lifejackets for Labs
Warning to readers: the following item makes use of a few really bad puns.
An aspiring entrepreneur with the right type of manufacturing skills may be able get tails wagging with this one.
A division of the Colorado Department of Agriculture has proposed a rule that would require dogs that swim in pools to wear canine lifejackets.
The rule has been nicknamed "Lifejackets for Labs" and would regulate dog-boarding and animal daycare facilities, as well as pet stores, breeders, groomers and other providers of animal services.
The idea of a personal flotation device for dogs is, of course, rooted in ensuring the safety of your pooch, but some animal advocates think the government is barking up the wrong tree.
"The proposed requirement that all dogs wear life jackets could in itself be dangerous," said Dr. Heather Steyn, owner of Advanced Animal Care of Colorado.
"A dog could get his leg caught in the jacket of another dog, and this could be catastrophic."
The businesses that would be impacted also aren't panting over the proposed regulation, pointing out that the odds of Fido drowning while doing the dog paddle in a pool are rather low.
Still, anyone with an interest in producing lifejackets for dogs could make a splash.

Prairie Grove, IL- December 6th, 2011 Nunda Township Trustee Joni Smith and her family have taken up a personal mission to make sure that all children in Nunda Township have a present from Santa underneath their tree this year and they are seeking help from the local community to make Christmas wishes come true.
Working off a list that provides only the ages gender of kids in Nunda Township who's families are struggling to keep food on their table as well as the heat and lights on in their homes, Smith who is also a Precinct Committeewoman, her husband, Nunda Republican Chairman Brent and their children Zach, Chelsi, Krista and Derreck are working to collect gifts; however they have been overwhelmed by the number of needy families.
"There are 102 children in Nunda Township who's families are clearly struggling to get by. Oddly enough there are equally 51 boys and 51 girls who's ages range from 7 months to 18 years of age," Joni said. "My family and I have collected just about 30 items so far, but we have a long way to go in a very short time to collect the entire 102 gifts for these children."
Working in cooperation with the Nunda Supervisor's office, Smith said that she will not know which families will be receiving the gifts, "Even though we will not see who is enjoying our gifts we can all take a moment on Christmas day to know that a child in Nunda Township who has no control over the economy or what has been dealt to them can have a moment of joy knowing Santa Clause made it to their house this year."
Anyone who would like to help can contact Joni Smith via cell phone at 815-245-0836 to arrange for pick up unwrapped gifts for a boy or girl between the ages of 7 months and 18 by December 15th.

Tiger Woods is hoping to pick up his fifth career Masters title and 73rd career PGA Tour victory, but he'll have to play lights-out on Saturday and Sunday, as he currently stands at 3-over following a rough outing on Friday in his second round. Also in the mix will be Rory McIlroy, who stands one stroke off the pace at 4-under, and Phil Mickelson, who has recovered after a bad start and sits at 2-under.

How would you rate the cruise overall? Excellent. Even though there was an outbreak of the Norovirus on Day 3, the ships crew handled everything professionally and courteously.
How was the ship? Splendour, one of 4 Vision-class ships, is considered small by today's standards. She doesn't have many common enhancements like alternative dining restaurants or ice skating rinks, which means the existing venues, while smaller, need to be that much better. They are. Splendour was refurbished several years ago, and while she is showing some age, she is still a beautiful ship.
Speaking of restaurants, how was the food? RCL is working hard to raise the food quality standards and, if this cruise is any indication, their efforts are working. The food throughout the ship was excellent, always with a great variety to appeal to everyone. In almost all cases, food was fresh and hot and prepared to order. Even the coffee in the Windjammer was excellent.
What? No complaints about the food? Well, to be honest, one. It seemed I could never get a plate of hot french fries, which saved me more calories for later.
I've heard RCL changed the usual seating times for this cruise. Is that true? Yes. We actually booked the late seating, assuming it would be at 8:00. Instead the early seating was at 7:00 and the late seating was at 9:30, to accommodate the South American guests who are used to eating very late. We were able to switch to the early seating, otherwise we might have eaten in the Windjammer every night.
Since this was a South American cruise, were there a lot of South American passengers? Yes. Interestingly enough, the cultural diversity of the passengers was the widest I've ever experienced. There were large groups from Asia and Europe as well. North Americans did not make up the majority.
I've heard that area of the world can be quite cold and rainy. How was the weather? At the beginning of the trip mild (mid-60's) and got chillier with clouds and rain the farther south we went until we rounded Cape Horn. Definitely a light jacket is needed. Once we rounded the Cape (North of Ushuaia) things started to get warmer and by Buenos Aires it was very pleasant.
Did you encounter any rough weather? Yes. A few days at the beginning there was an ocean swell that had the ship moving a bit. For me that is why I go on a ship and not stay in a hotel: I want to feel like I'm at sea. Some people were seasick, however, so if you are prone to motion sickness be smart and come prepared.
Were there a lot of opportunities for shopping? That really depended on the port. Some ports there were many shops, others there were only a few. In Chile, lapis lazuli is the thing to buy as is wool. In Argentina leather is very affordable. Don's miss the craft market outside La Recoleta (where Eva Peron is buried). Brazil is not known for shopping, so look for tee shirts that catch your eye. Don't forget, in many places you can bargain for a better price.
Besides the shore excursions, did you see any wildlife? We did spot some dolphins one day near the Strait of Magellan, but we never saw any whales.
Getting back to the ship, how was the entertainment? Very standard. 2 RCL Production Shows (it actually may have been 3) were interspersed with lounge singers who I never heard of, an impressionist who was terrible, a juggler, magician, and others that I didn't even bother going to. RCL isn't known for their entertainment, and that's a good thing.
What about the Cruise Director and staff? Personally, I think the Cruise Director should walk around and talk to the passengers, find out how they are enjoying the cruise, what they thought about the previous nights' show, and just mingle. We never saw her, except on the TV during show repeats. The rest of the cruise staff were involved in the same Bingo/|"Love and Marriage"/Belly Flop/etc. events. Nothing new here.
You are a Crown and Anchor Member. Did you use the Concierge Lounge? This was a shortcoming my group (6 of us) felt for the ship. We did use the Lounge on Deck 6, which ran out of seating 10 minutes after opening and filled to capacity 5 minutes after that. So we went to the Deck 3 "overflow" Lounge which had the striking resemblance to a cheerless Sheraton conference room. RCL has created a monster with the C&A benefits/Concierge Lounge, and the situation is only going to get worse.
How about embarkation and debarkation? It was fine. That people even still discuss this makes me laugh. This issue was one of the first the cruise lines addressed. They now have it down to a science, and while there may be glitches every now and then, getting on and off rarely takes very long. Most people who complain seem to do so because they couldn't get to the buffet sooner.
Would you recommend the ship and/or itinerary? Definitely, but for the right person. 15 days (8 at sea) is a long time for a lot of people. Toward the end the routine got a little monotonous; hey - you can only eat and drink so much. When it was time to disembark I was ready to go home.

It seemed like a reasonable request at first. I made an honest effort to eat better, walk at least 30 minutes a day and check my weight once a week.
I also found a nifty online calculator that let me know how I was doing based on my height, weight and stage of pregnancy.
The first few months went smoothly. I gained a couple of pounds. Not a problem.
As I started my second trimester, the needle on the scale crept a little higher. My blues jeans got tight, but I could still wear them if I left the button undone.
By Thanksgiving, I was puffy and could only wear stretchy pants. My weight gain was on track if I fudged my height a little for the online calculator.
I think the wheels fell off around the fifth month.
I didn't get a cute basketball belly that everyone wanted to rub. My middle just spread in an east to west direction.
I had gained 50 pounds by the time Wyatt was born. Now I am 20 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight, which is pretty good considering I'm not dieting or exercising regularly.
I tried to make use of a Valerie Bertinelli workout DVD several weeks after delivery, but the excruciating pain of simple stretches was too much for me.
Now I avoid it because of Valerie's attitude. Anyone who smiles that much while exercising must be deranged, and I don't want anything to do with her.
I keep telling myself that I'm going to get up earlier to do some walking. I imagine myself strolling and collecting my thoughts while Zac and Wyatt snooze. Then 6 a.m. rolls around and I'm too exhausted to blink.
I've never been a girl who obsessed over my figure. I'm usually 10 to 15 pounds heavier than the Body Mass Index expects.
Zac knew from the start of our relationship that I'm not going to order a salad on a date and watch him eat steak. If he gets a footlong Subway sandwich, so do I. Its the equal rights clause in our relationship.
Our son is no dainty dude either. He doesn't just eat; he attacks. I call him my chunky monkey.
Wyatt weighs about 17 pounds now. I'm not sure what percentile he's in for a 4-month-old, and I really don't care as long as he is healthy.
I realize that there is an obesity problem in this country, but I think some people are too preoccupied with weight -- their own and everybody else's.
Those who constantly stand in judgment of other people's waist size want to force the rest of us to change through bad laws and tampering with our food.
Several months ago, I heard that a ketchup company was going to reduce its product's sodium content by 15 percent. I snidely told Zac that I guess I would be using 15 percent more ketchup on my burgers.
What I eat and how much I weigh is my business. If my box of Krispy Kreme donuts offends you, I suggest you get over it.
Weight, like age, is just a number. What's more important is the quality of our lives.
If I'm uncomfortable in my own skin, whether it's because I weigh too much or too little, then I need to make a change. But I should be focused on making myself happy, not conforming to someone else's idea of what my body should look like.
Of course, I want to be healthy and set a good example for my son. I plan to take off my extra pounds in my own time and in my own way.
I'm in no particular hurry. I just hope my favorite pants don't go out of style before I can fit in them again.

As an aide to public understanding and to solicit the cooperation of motorists and others in conducting effective snow removal operations, DelDOT offers the following list of frequently asked questions and answers.

Q. Who should I call if I need to travel by automobile due to an emergency situation and I am snowed in?
A: If there is an emergency that is life threatening, call 911.Q. What can citizens and businesses do to assist with snow removal?
However, if you have a non-life-threatening emergency and you need to travel by automobile you may request assistance by calling your county's Emergency Operations Center (EOC). This assistance is only available in extreme weather conditions.
Sussex County Emergency Operations Center: 302.855.7801
Kent County Emergency Operations Center: 302.735.3474
New Castle County Emergency Operations Center: 302.395.2700
Wilmington Emergency Operations Center: 302.576.3914
A: The best way to assist in snow removal operations is to prepare well in advance for winter storms. By stocking up on items you and your family might need, and making other necessary arrangements with employers, family and friends, you should be able to stay safe and warm rather than be on roads exposed to potential hazards.Q. What is a "snow emergency" and what should citizens do if one is declared?
Keeping roads clear of traffic, reducing the incidence of stranded or stuck vehicles, and minimizing the need for emergency responders, helps DelDOT's snow removal teams do their jobs more thoroughly, efficiently and safely.
A: Technically, Delaware does not declare snow emergencies. However, the state has a three-level system of driving warnings and restrictions. The levels are found in Title 20 of the Delaware Code, Subsection 3116(b)(12) and may be put in effect by the Governor during a State of Emergency for all or parts of Delaware based on conditions. Below is a summary of the three levels:Q. What does it mean that a road is "passable," or "cleared?"
Level 1 — Driving Warning: Drivers are discouraged from operating a motor vehicle on the state's roadways, unless there is a significant safety, health or business reason to do so.
Level 2 — Driving Restriction: Travel on the roads is restricted to emergency workers, public utilities, healthcare providers including hospital staff, public and private operators of snow removal equipment, private sector food and fuel deliveries, and those industries, companies or organizations that have been provided a waiver, including businesses with pressing continuity and operational issues.
Level 3 — Driving Ban: Complete ban on driving except for first responders, utility personnel, and public or private snow removal. Businesses and organizations should adjust work schedules so that employees do not need to be on the roads during a Level 3 Driving Ban.
A: "Passable" means that a road can be driven upon by most vehicles, but the road may still be snow and ice covered. If motorists drive very slowly and carefully, they can be traveled on.Q. Where does DelDOT get its weather information?
The shoulders of the road, turn lanes and crossovers are likely not plowed if a road is classified as passable.
"Cleared" means a road is almost entirely free of snow or ice. There might still be a spot of snow or ice that has re-formed, but for the most part, cleared roads are capable of supporting normal traffic speeds.
A: Primarily, DelDOT utilizes weather forecasts and other weather-related information from the National Weather Service. They provide official forecasts as well as weather updates throughout snow events to DelDOT's snow removal teams and officials at the Delaware Emergency Management Agency (DEMA).Q. How and where does DelDOT measure snow fall?
A: DelDOT has 18 measuring stations throughout the state to record official snowfall. These stations are managed by the University of Delaware.Q. How does DelDOT decide when to pre-treat roads in advance of a storm?
See a clickable map that provides the latest snow measurements from that system.
The National Weather Service also has snow measuring stations in Delaware. See those snow totals.
A: Depending on the severity of the storm that is forecasted, the reliability of the forecast, and the probability of snow in the various parts of the state, DelDOT may begin pre-treating roads as early as three days before an expected event.Q. What does DelDOT use for pre-treating?
Our goal is to pre-treat primary roads with a base of salt brine before snow or ice has a chance to accumulate. This causes the initial coating of snow and ice to melt and slows down or may even stop the accumulation of ice and snow on the road surface. This makes the road surface safer for an extended period as snow or ice begin to appear and can make the job of plowing easier in the initial stages.
A: Typically, DelDOT uses a salt and water mixture called brine for pre-treating. Unlike straight salt, brine adheres to the road better, and will not be blown away by traffic or high winds.Q. Why can't DelDOT prevent ice from forming overnight at certain intersections or other trouble spots, and keep snow from drifting back onto roadways?
As the snow begins to fall and accumulate, and throughout a snow event, road salt is used because the salt will adhere to the snow and ice and facilitate melting.
A: When temperatures fall below 20 degrees Fahrenheit, or when snow is accumulating rapidly, snow-melting materials are less effective and plowing becomes the primary means of keeping roads passable. Although busy intersections and other potential trouble spots are attended to, often repeatedly, traffic moving back and forth through these busy areas pack the snow and ice onto the road making removal much more difficult.Q. Who decides when to send out snow plows?
Although DelDOT's crews frequently work long shifts into the late night and early morning hours, roads that freeze and refreeze or snow that falls and then drifts can be extremely difficult to overcome. While every situation is different, DelDOT's goal is to provide the public with the safest roads possible given the weather and traffic conditions, as well as the resources at our disposal.
A: The decision to begin deploying snow plows is made after forecasts are studied and estimates are made as to storm severity and duration, as well as the expected personnel and equipment resources required to do the job. DelDOT officials in each county consult with each other and the chief of Maintenance & Operations. Sending crews and equipment out too soon to fight a storm can be as detrimental to a sustained and successful effort as sending out resources too late.Q. How much snow has to fall before DelDOT plows?
Making the right call can be difficult, but it is done with the best available information at the time of the event.
A: DelDOT does not decide to begin plowing based on the amount of snow on the roads. The decision is made based on a variety of predictive and observed factors, including pre-treatment efforts, weather forecasts, field reports of changing weather conditions in different areas of the state and resources required for the event.Q. How does DelDOT decide which roads to plow first?
A: DelDOT assigns priority levels to each road, taking into account the amount of traffic it typically carries, population density in the surrounding areas and how crucial it is to functioning of the overall road system.Q. Why does DelDOT not plow some streets?
View this map to learn where your road is classified.
Roads are typically assigned to one of three major categories:
Primary Roads, also known as Arterial Routes and/or Expressways
Definition: Multi-lane highways, and some two-lane roads designed to carry heavy traffic volumes between major destinations.
Definition: These roads receive less traffic than primary roads, but are the main feeder routes to the primary roads.
Definition: Roads that are used to travel to and from less densely populated residential or agricultural areas, used primarily by those who live along them.
These roads frequently have three-number designations.
A: While DelDOT is responsible for maintenance of 89 percent of roads in the state, the agency does not plow roads and streets that are maintained by towns or cities. DelDOT also does not plow roads within privately owned subdivisions. DelDOT does plow some roads that are within city or town limits, but only those that are designated state maintained roads.Q. Is there a program by DelDOT that helps pay for plowing in subdivisions?
Residents of incorporated towns or cities should first check with local government officials to learn if your street or road is municipally maintained.
For example, in the town of Greenwood, DelDOT plows Market Street, because that road is part of Route 16, which is a major route for motorists heading east and west in Sussex County. In Dover, DelDOT plows North and South Dupont Highways for the same reason.
A: DelDOT does not plow privately-owned and maintained subdivisions. However, if a subdivision has state-maintained roads, those communities can sign up to be part of a DelDOT program that reimburses those communities for a major portion of the cost to hire a private contractor for snow removal.Q. Do snow plow drivers receive special training?
Get more information on the Snow Reimbursement Program
A: Yes. In addition to maintaining a Commercial Driver's License, our operators are certified in the operation of many types of equipment. Snow plow drivers spend many hours honing skills that are specific to plowing snow.Q. Does DelDOT use independent contractors to help with snow removal?
A: DelDOT uses contractors, such as landscaping companies, large roadway contractors and many local farmers to assist with snow removal. Contractors are an essential part of DelDOT's snow-removal efforts. Because hiring contractors costs the state money, DelDOT must balance the use of contractors with the existing capabilities of DelDOT personnel and equipment already paid for by taxpayers.Q. Why do snow plow drivers sometimes seem to drive faster than is safe considering the road conditions?
A: Snow removal operations must proceed as quickly and safely as possible in order to plow as many miles of road as possible in a limited amount of time. DelDOT is responsible for more than 12,000 lane- miles of roads, or 89 percent of all roads in Delaware. Drivers are trained to operate their equipment at safe speeds that will result in an effective snow removal effort over a large area.Q. Why are snow plows or other DelDOT vehicles sometimes parked at local businesses or on the side of the road during a storm?
If you feel a vehicle is being driven in a reckless or unsafe manner, please contact DelDOT's Office of Public Relations at 302.760.2080 with detailed information about the specific situation.
A: As they perform their snow removal duties, DelDOT's crews must necessarily stop for bathroom, meal and occasional rest breaks. During snow events, DelDOT crews frequently work long shifts into the late night or early morning hours. Driving large, heavy vehicles under adverse road conditions requires intense concentration and can be physically and mentally exhausting. If drivers stop their vehicles on the roadside or are parked at a local business, be assured the break they are taking is richly deserved.Q. Why do some trucks ride with their plows up?
A: Trucks are assigned to plow specific roads, and they must travel quickly, but safely, over a primary or other road to get to the next assigned area. With their plows down, trucks move more slowly, and may need to stop at each crossroad. In addition, if a road has been recently salted, driving with the plow down may remove the salt that has been applied to help melt the snow or ice.Q. Does DelDOT use snow fences to help prevent drifting snow?
A: DelDOT stopped deploying snow fences approximately 15 years ago because of the various costs associated with erecting, removing and maintaining fences far exceeded their effectiveness in Delaware, and these resources could be better utilized in other pressing maintenance operations. Extensive snow fencing is expensive and requires many personnel and hours to install. Depending on wind direction - which can vary widely in Delaware - snow fences can be either be helpful or a detriment in controlling drifting. In the wrong conditions they can cause snow to accumulate on the wrong side of the fence and onto the road surface.Q. How much money does DelDOT spend on snow removal?
A: That number varies from one year to the next. While DelDOT makes financial projections based on experiences during prior years, this number can be exceeded if there is a winter with a lot of snow fall.Q. How much does DelDOT spend on average per inch of snow?
A: Placing an average per inch cost on snow removal is a meaningless exercise. There is no way to accurately place a per-inch average cost on snow removal because each snow event is unique and has different challenges. For example, one snow event could have a lot of ice and require many personnel hours and tons of salt with very little snow accumulation. There could be an event with a lot of snow, but minimal drifting and a rapid return to higher temperatures that cause it to melt away rapidly. Another event can have the same amount of snow, but temperatures remain freezing for days, and winds continue to create drifts, driving up snow removal costs.Q. How does Delaware compare to other states in snow removal operations?
A: Each state and region face unique weather, geography, traffic and resource challenges. The goal of a successful state snow removal operation is to gauge the conditions they are most likely to encounter from year to year and to put enough primary resources of personnel and equipment into place to act quickly and effectively when called upon. These resources need to be augmented by contingency plans that can be utilized if an especially severe, protracted or repeated situation occurs that might overwhelm the primary resources at the state's disposal.Q. If my mailbox or other property is damaged by a snow plow, what should I do?
Despite decades of experience and training, and the assistance of the National Weather Service, the entire snow removal process in every state comes down to dedicated and skillful people making the best decisions they can given the information and resources they have at their command.
A: DelDOT takes every reasonable precaution to minimize or prevent any damage to public or private property during any of its operations. However, if your property was damaged, please call the Delaware insurance coverage office at 1-877-277-4185 or email Delaware Insurance Coverage Office.

One potential side effect of Garcinia Cambogia is developing heachaches, a common concern about any supplement especially in the weight loss realm. While there are some reports that one of the garcinia cambogia side effects is more frequent headaches, but from the 15+ clinical studies and over 900 participants, it is not listed in the Natural Products Database as one of the primary "adverse reactions" to garcinia extract.
Getting headaches is such a personal matter, the only way to really know if it will affect you in that way is to try it. Any reputable product will carry at least a 30-day guarantee, and it would probably be wise to start with a minimal dose if it's something you are concerned about.
