"This is a photo that was taken at the office of INM United in Richmond, VA. We run a program called TechHatch, which is a technology incubator program for high school students. The students are given the skills and mentorship to take an idea to a working prototype over the course of 8 weeks. More info on our website."
"Team "Refuse to Lose" is made up of 8 high school girls who participated in the Relay For Life event teamed up with the American Cancer Society in the fight against cancer! Refuse to Lose raised over $1,300 on their own through bake sales, fundraising, and donations! The Relay for Life event gave them the opportunity to remember, celebrate and fight back! "
"As a group of very close friends, we noticed that for the most part we are all of asian decent except for Paryss (shown all the way to the left). Each morning a teacher would stop by our meeting spot and say "Good morning Asians......and Paryss!" So we decided as a unit to get T-shirts as a form of remembrance, of our good times, during our college endeavors and also as a final hooray as our journey through high school comes to an end. "
"Our advisory (Crew) is preparing for our annual Crew Olympics at our high school in New York City! "
"This photo was taken outside our school on May 14th during our Around the World project. The purpose of our project is to bring students from different cultures and backgrounds together to promote global awareness and understanding. We hope to do this through a combination of activities that utilize videoconferencing and an interactive website for the exchange of information and ideas. The culminating activity involves Passaic Valley High School hosting a series of approximately one-hour individual videoconferences with participating schools during one 24-hour period. Students will be engaged in discussion on selected topics and problem-solving. We talked to South Africa, Russia, United Kingdom, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong, India, Pakistan, Germany, Slovenia, Kuwait, and Uganda! The advances in communication technology offers this generation valuable and fruitful multicultural dialogues. Videoconferencing allows people separated by distance to verbally and visually communicate in real time. Interactive websites allow for the continuation of dialogue long after the videoconferences are over. It is our wish here at Passaic Valley High School that this type of hands-on learning prepares our students to be intelligently engaged in analysis and lively discussion with their peers from around the world. We also want this project to serve as a basis for our students to understand their relationships and responsibilities to people, institutions and the environment. CustomInk has made our shirts for two years now and we are always happy with the quality and service. The other students, in 15 different countries, kept complimenting our shirts!"
"Team photo of our high school's competitive birdwatching team. Yes, you read that right--competitive birdwatching. The group of students and mentors has trained for 2 years to enter in the 2013 World Series of Birding sponsored by the New Jersey Audubon Society. Vote for us so we can afford shirts for next year!"
"The James Clemens High School Step Team, Alpha Gamma Theta, performs at the LAUNCH Talent Show in Madison, Al. "
"We are a High School Environmental Club. In our school, the recycling only gets done because we do it each week, so we are dedicated...and we CARE!! We are currently working on fundraising for environmentally friendly water fountains/bottle filling stations into the school. A sophomore student in our group designed the shirts (she actually drew a design just like it and was thrilled to find it so easily there at Custom ink). We edited it together as a group, collected money and a week and a half later, voila! There they were. Super cute and students (and two teachers) wear them proudly as a badge of caring about our school and the environment. What could be better? "
"Each spring our club hosts an annual Diversity Fair for our high school which comprises of over 35 booths hosted by students, staff and community members. Students in the club design the shirt for the event- bright ones this year by Custom Ink so that participants know who to go to for assistance. The tshirts were a highlight of the day for everyone wearing them and many other students asked if they could buy one as they were 'so cool'! We had an amazing experience with Custom Ink as they were very helpful with all questions students had for them and were very patient as it was the students' first time ordering products by speaking on the phone to representatives and then placing the order on line. I was very impressed with the service we received from the beginning to the end of the purchase and will definitely be using the company again. I have also been recommending the website to colleagues of other clubs!"

Problem/Condition: Asthma, a chronic disease occurring among both children and adults, has been the focus of clinical and public health interventions during recent years. In addition, CDC has outlined a strategy to improve the timeliness and geographic specificity of asthma surveillance as part of a comprehensive public health approach to asthma surveillance.
Reporting Period Covered: This report presents national data regarding self-reported asthma prevalence, school and work days lost because of asthma, and asthma-associated activity limitations (1980--1996); asthma-associated outpatient visits, asthma-associated hospitalizations, and asthma-associated deaths (1980--1999); asthma-associated emergency department visits (1992--1999); and self-reported asthma episodes or attacks (1997--1999).
Description of Systems: CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) conducts the National Health Interview Survey annually, which includes questions regarding asthma and asthma-related activity limitations. NCHS collects physician office-visit data in the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, emergency department and hospital outpatient data in the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey, hospitalization data in the National Hospital Discharge Survey, and death data in the Mortality Component of the National Vital Statistics System.
Results: During 1980--1996, asthma prevalence increased. Annual rates of persons reporting asthma episodes or attacks, measured during 1997--1999, were lower than the previously reported asthma prevalence rates, whereas the rates of lifetime asthma, also measured during 1997--1999, were higher than the previously reported rates. Since 1980, the proportion of children and adults with asthma who report activity limitation has remained stable. Since 1995, the rate of outpatient visits and emergency department visits for asthma increased, whereas the rates of hospitalization and death decreased. Blacks continue to have higher rates of asthma emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and deaths than do whites.
Interpretation: Since the previous report in 1998 (CDC. Surveillance for Asthma --- United States, 1960--1995. MMWR 1998;47[No. SS-1]:1--28), changes in asthma-associated morbidity and death have been limited. Asthma remains a critical clinical and public health problem. Although data in this report indicate certain early indications of success in current asthma intervention programs (e.g., limited decreases in asthma hospitalization and death rates), the continued presence of substantial racial disparities in these asthma endpoints highlights the need for continued surveillance and targeted interventions.
Asthma is a prevalent chronic illness in the United States that has been increasing in prevalence since 1980 (1). During 1991--2001, the problem of asthma has been the focus of programs and reports from governmental agencies (e.g., the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute's National Asthma Education and Prevention Program [NAEPP] [2] and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Action Against Asthma report [3]) and nongovernmental commissions (e.g., the Pew Environmental Health Commission's Attack Asthma report [4]). A common feature of these reports and programs is a call for improved asthma surveillance.
Asthma is a key component of the Healthy People 2010 objectives (5). Eight objectives address asthma: 24-1, reduce asthma deaths; 24-2, reduce hospitalizations for asthma; 24-3, reduce hospital emergency department visits for asthma; 24-4, reduce activity limitations among persons with asthma; 24-5, reduce the number of school or work days missed by persons with asthma because of their asthma; 24-6, increase the proportion of persons with asthma who receive formal patient education, including information regarding community and self-help resources, as an essential part of the management of their condition; 24-7, increase the proportion of persons with asthma who receive appropriate asthma care according to the NAEPP guidelines; and 24-8, establish in >25 states a surveillance system for tracking asthma deaths, illnesses, disabilities, impact of occupational and environmental factors on asthma, access to medical care, and asthma management (5).
In 1998, CDC reported on the morbidity and mortality related to asthma for 1960--1995 (1). The findings from that report included increasing trends of asthma prevalence and mortality, as well as racial and regional disparities in asthma emergency department visits, asthma hospitalizations, and asthma deaths. In addition, CDC outlined a strategy to improve the timeliness and geographic specificity of asthma surveillance as part of a comprehensive public health approach to asthma. Since the publication of the 1998 report, which included data through 1995, progress has been made in implementing this surveillance strategy.
This report presents national data regarding self-reported asthma prevalence, school and work days lost because of asthma, and asthma-associated activity limitations (1980--1996); asthma-associated outpatient visits, asthma-associated hospitalizations, and asthma-associated deaths (1980--1999); asthma-associated emergency department visits (1992--1999); and self-reported asthma episodes or attacks (1997--1999). This report also describes progress made toward developing and improving surveillance for asthma at the state and local level.
We used data from national health surveys conducted by CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) to measure asthma prevalence, asthma episodes or attacks, asthma-associated school and work absence days, asthma-associated activity limitation, asthma physician office and hospital outpatient department visits, asthma emergency department visits, asthma hospitalizations, and asthma deaths nationally. For the latter three measures, we determined rates in four regions of the United States,* which are geographic divisions defined by the U.S. Bureau of the Census (Figure 1). We used population estimates from the U.S. Bureau of the Census as denominators for asthma office-visit rates, asthma emergency department visits, asthma hospitalizations, and asthma deaths. We used the civilian, noninstitionalized population of the United States as our denominator for prevalence rates and asthma episode or attack rates. We stratified each population denominator data set by region, sex, race (white, black, and other), and age group (0--4 years, 5--14 years, 15--34 years, 35--64 years, and >65 years). For determination of asthma-associated activity limitation and asthma-associated school absence or work loss, we used two age strata, 5--17 years and >18 years. In this report, we list annual estimates in the tables for selected years (i.e., 1980, 1985, 1990, and 1995--1999) and annual estimates for 1980--1999 in the figures for every measure except asthma-associated activity limitation, school absence, and work loss. For those estimates, we had to group years because the denominator (i.e., persons with asthma) in the surveys was smaller.
Our results were age-adjusted to the 2000 U.S. population by using five age groups (i.e. 0--4 years, 5--14 years, 15--34 years, 35--64 years, and >65 years). Regional emergency department data and death data were age-, sex- and race-adjusted. We analyzed all data by using SAS (version 6) (6) and SUDAAN (version 7.5) (7). We used two-tailed t-tests to determine whether the differences between two points in time in asthma prevalence rates, asthma physician office-visit and hospital outpatient department rates, asthma emergency department visit rates, asthma hospitalization rates, and asthma death rates were statistically significant. We used two-tailed t-tests to compare asthma hospitalization rates and asthma emergency department visit rates between regions, racial groups, age groups, and males and females. By using the Bonferroni adjustment technique for multiple comparisons in <5 groups, we considered a familywide p-value of 0.05 as statistically significant.
Prevalence and Attacks or Episodes
NCHS conducts the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) annually among a probability sample of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the United States (8). Before 1997, for one-sixth of the NHIS-sampled households (i.e., approximately 20,000 of 120,000 persons), participants were asked whether they had any one of 17 chronic respiratory conditions, including asthma, during the preceding 12 months. Under this design, information regarding asthma among adults might not have been reported by the subjects themselves. For children aged <18 years, a knowledgeable adult family member, usually a parent, acted as a proxy respondent. Asthma prevalence was determined if a positive response was given to the following question: "During the past 12 months, have you had asthma?"
Starting in 1997, NHIS collected information regarding asthma for a randomly selected sample child (i.e., by using a proxy respondent) in every household having a child and for a randomly selected adult in each household. Asthma attacks or episodes in the previous year were determined if positive responses were given to the following questions: "Has a doctor or other health professional ever told you that you had asthma?" and "During the past 12 months, have you had an episode of asthma or an asthma attack?" (8,9). We used SUDAAN to determine relative standard errors (RSEs) of the estimates and indicate which estimates had RSEs of <30%, indicating relatively high reliability (7).
School and Work Absence Days and Activity Limitation
Through 1996, NHIS provided data regarding days of school and work missed and activity limitations resulting from specific conditions. The number of asthma-associated school absence days in the previous 2 weeks was collected for children aged 6--16 years during 1980--1982, and for those aged 5--17 years during 1985--1996. The number of asthma-associated work absence days for the previous 2 weeks was collected for persons aged >17 years in 1980--1982 and >18 years for 1985--1996. Because NHIS is conducted continuously throughout the year, no seasonal bias exists in the 2-week recall period when that period information is aggregated for the entire annual sample. Survey weights were used to aggregate the number of absence days reported in the 2-week recall period during a 1-year period. We calculated the rate of absence days per person-asthma--year (i.e., person-year among all persons with asthma) and the percentage of those with asthma who had >1 absence days in the previous 2 weeks. Because of the relatively limited number of persons reporting absence days in the previous 2 weeks for each survey year, we used multiple years of data to obtain stable estimates for absence days.
Activity limitation questions measured ability to perform age-appropriate activities. The percentage of persons with asthma who reported asthma-associated activity limitation was calculated for children aged 5--17 years and adults aged >18 years who reported being currently employed. Activity limitations were classified into one of four groups: all major activity was limited; certain major activities were limited; other activities were limited; or no activities were limited. For children aged 5--17 years, major activity was defined as school attendance, and for employed adults aged >18 years, as working. Respondents were categorized as limited if they reported limitations in major or other activities and if asthma was identified as the primary or secondary cause of the limitation.
Physician Office Visits, Hospital Outpatient Department Visits, and Emergency Department Visits
Ambulatory medical care is the predominant means of providing health-care services in the United States. In this report, we consider both physician office visits and hospital outpatient department visits, the data for which are collected by using different surveys, as office visits; we consider emergency department visits separately. Physician office-visit data were collected through the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NAMCS), which NCHS administered in 1973--1981, 1985, and annually since 1989 (10). Approximately 2,000 physicians participated each year, reporting data regarding approximately 30,000 patient encounters. Hospital outpatient department visit data and emergency department visit data were collected by using the National Hospital Ambulatory Medical Care Survey (NHAMCS), which has been administered annually since 1992 (11). Approximately 500 hospitals are sampled each year, resulting in approximately 30,000 outpatient department encounters and 30,000 emergency department encounters.
For both data sets, we identified all patient visits for which asthma (International Classification of Diseases, 9th Revision, code 493) (12) was the first listed diagnosis. Sample weights were used to obtain national estimates of annual outpatient (i.e., physician office and hospital outpatient department) visits and emergency department visits for asthma. We used the RSEs, which are listed with the database documentation, to determine which estimates had RSEs of <30%, indicating relatively high reliability (13).
The National Hospital Discharge Survey (NHDS), conducted annually by NCHS since 1965, is a national survey of approximately 275,000 patient records from approximately 500 nonfederal general and short-stay specialty hospitals. A hospitalization for asthma was defined as a primary discharge diagnosis of asthma (ICD-9 code 493) (12). Race was missing for 5%--20% of the sample in any given year (14). We excluded these persons from the race-specific rate calculations but included them in all of the other rate calculations. We used published relative standard errors (13) to indicate which estimates had RSEs of <30%, indicating relatively high reliability.
The Mortality Component of the National Vital Statistics System includes medical conditions and demographic characteristics reported on death certificates (15). We searched for deaths for which asthma was the underlying cause of death (ICD-9 code 493 for 1980--1998 and ICD-10 codes J45--J46 for 1999), (12,16) and calculated standard errors (i.e., the square root of the inverse of the number of deaths) because the number of asthma deaths is limited and annual rates are subject to random variation. The comparability ratio for asthma from ICD-9 to ICD-10 is 0.89, which means that 89% of the deaths classified as being caused by asthma under the ICD-9 classification would be classified as asthma deaths under the ICD-10 classification (15).
Prevalence and Episodes or Attacks
The self- or proxy-reported 12-month prevalence of asthma increased 73.9% during 1980--1996, with an estimated 14.6 million persons (54.6/1,000 population) reporting asthma during the previous 12 months in 1996 (Table 1; Figure 2). Beginning in 1997, the asthma questions on NHIS changed the measures of asthma prevalence (9). Now, two measures are used, both restricted to persons with a medical diagnosis of asthma. The first is referred to as lifetime asthma prevalence, which includes those respondents with a medical diagnosis of asthma at anytime in the their lives. In 1997, a total of 26.7 million persons (96.6/1,000 population) reported a physician diagnosis of asthma during their lifetime, which is substantially higher than the 12-month prevalence measured before 1997 (Figure 2). The second measure is a 12-month attack prevalence, which includes the number of persons with asthma who have had >1 attacks or episodes in the past 12 months. In 1997, the estimated prevalence of persons with asthma episodes or attacks was 11.1 million (40.7/1,000 population), lower than the 12-month prevalence estimated from the question wording used before 1997 (Tables 1,2; Figure 2). A sufficient number of years with the new measures do not yet exist to determine whether the trends in asthma are increasing or decreasing. Both 12-month prevalence (before 1997) and 12-month attack prevalence of asthma (since 1997) were higher among children aged 5--14 years, blacks compared with whites, and females. Neither 12-month prevalence nor episodes or attacks of asthma varied substantially among regions of the United States (data not indicated).
Absence Days and Activity Limitation
School absence days among children and work absence days among adults increased from 1980--82 to 1995--96 (Table 3). During 1980--1996, rates of school absence per child with asthma per year and the percentage of children with asthma who had limited activity because of asthma decreased slightly (4.9%--3.7%). Also not statistically significant, the percentage of children missing >1 days of school in the previous 2 weeks decreased during the same period. Work absence days among adults with asthma demonstrated similar trends to school absence days among children with asthma, except the percentage of adults missing >1 days of work because of asthma in the previous 2 weeks increased slightly during 1990--1996, although the change was not statistically significant.
Physician Office and Hospital Outpatient Department Visits
During 1980--1999, the number of office visits for asthma as the primary diagnosis increased from 5.9 million to 10.8 million (Table 4; Figure 3). During 1992--1999, this estimate included both physician office visits and hospital outpatient department visits, with the latter category including approximately 1 million visits annually. The demographic pattern in rates of office visits for asthma demonstrated higher rates among blacks, females, and children (Table 5). Office-visit rates did not vary among regions of the country (these data not included in Table 5).
Emergency Department Visits
During 1992--1999, the number of emergency department visits for asthma increased 36%, varying by region, and the rate of emergency department visits for asthma increased 29% (Tables 6,7; Figure 4). The rates for blacks were >3 times the rates for whites, and the youngest children consistently had the highest rates (Table 7).
The hospitalization rate for asthma peaked in the mid-1980s and has gradually declined since then (Tables 8,9; Figure 5). The substantial regional differences that were previously described (1) have persisted, as did higher rates among blacks, women, and children.
The number of deaths and death rates from asthma increased gradually during 1980--1995 (Tables 10,11; Figure 6). Although a determination with certainty cannot be made, data for 1996--1998 indicate that mortality rates are starting to plateau or decrease. The data from 1999 cannot be directly compared with the data from previous years because of the change in the classification system from ICD-9 to ICD-10 (13). As noted in the previous report, disparities persist, with higher mortality rates documented among blacks, women, and the elderly, along with regional differences (Figure 6).
The trend of increasing asthma-associated morbidity and mortality that occurred during 1980--1995 (1) has not continued for all measures. During 1995--1998, the rate of both physician office or hospital outpatient visits and emergency department visits for asthma increased, whereas the rate of hospitalization and death decreased. Blacks continued to have higher rates of asthma emergency department visits, hospitalizations, and deaths than did whites. Although 12-month asthma prevalence increased during 1980--1996, annual rates of asthma episodes or attacks among persons with a medical diagnosis of asthma, measured during 1997--1999, are lower than the 12-month asthma prevalence determined previously. The corresponding measures of lifetime asthma prevalence, also measured during 1997--1999, were higher than the 12-month asthma prevalence.
New in this report is the estimated morbidity of asthma as determined by missed days of school and work. During 1980--1996, the number of asthma-associated work absence days and school absence days caused by asthma have increased >50%, from 6.2 to 14.0 million for work absence days and from 6.6 to 14.0 million for school absence days. This corresponds to the increase in prevalence, because the school absence days per child with asthma and the work absence days per adult with asthma have not changed during this period.
The data in this report are useful for health departments and researchers as a comparison with the morbidity and mortality attributable to asthma among the populations they study. Populations with asthma morbidity higher than the national values might require targeted intervention programs. Although these data address Healthy People 2010 goals, certain ones (e.g., objective 24-6, increase the proportion of persons with asthma who receive formal patient education, including information regarding community and self-help resources, as an essential part of the management of their condition and objective 24-7, increase the proportion of persons with asthma who receive appropriate asthma care [5], according to the NAEPP guidelines) will require different surveys.
In our previous report, we noted such limitations as a lack of data (other than death data) at the state or local level and the timeliness of these data. Although these barriers still exist, progress is being made. In 2000, the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), an ongoing random-digit--dialed telephone survey used in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands, added two questions regarding asthma prevalence to the core survey. These data indicate variation in prevalence among the participating sites. Lifetime asthma prevalence varied from a low of 8.0% in Louisiana to a high of 15.9% in Puerto Rico. Current asthma prevalence varied from a low of 5.0% in Louisiana to a high of 8.9% in Maine (17). In addition, local health departments have been successful in using existing data to determine patterns in asthma morbidity and, subsequently, target interventions (18).
New methods are being developed for asthma surveillance, including determining incident cases of asthma by using such sites as emergency departments to capture information regarding persons with asthma and to gain a better understanding of the factors related to asthma deaths (4). In 2000, CDC funded a program to implement asthma surveillance and interventions in hospital emergency departments and to evaluate the surveillance and effectiveness of these interventions in reducing subsequent asthma hospitalizations and emergency department visits. Michigan State University and the University of South Carolina have been awarded cooperative agreements for a 3-year period to work with selected hospital emergency departments serving diverse populations. A second CDC initiative begins planning for population-based surveillance for asthma incidence. Asthma surveillance sites will be population-based centers designed to assess the public health impact of asthma, to determine asthma incidence, and to identify population-based risk factors associated with asthma onset.
A third CDC initiative demonstrates the feasibility of a rapid asthma death notification system among persons aged 2--34 years. This will include investigations of the asthma-associated deaths identified and will describe the circumstances of these deaths to determine whether and how such deaths could have been prevented.
Diagnosing asthma remains challenging. Although the clinical definition of asthma is the presence of variable airflow obstruction that reverses either spontaneously or with treatment, differentiating asthma from other chronic obstructive lung diseases remains difficult, chiefly among preschool and older adult populations. Using surveys (e.g., those in this report) has additional limitations. For example, the majority of the asthma estimates contained in this report are dependent on physicians accurately diagnosing and documenting asthma in patient records, with the potential for either underestimates or overestimates of cases. Estimates of asthma prevalence, in addition, require the subjects to recall the physician's diagnosis and are subject to similar biases. The Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists has developed a case definition for asthma for use in epidemiologic studies of asthma and asthma surveillance that provides definition uniformity (19).
Asthma remains a key public health problem in the United States. This report does not indicate dramatic changes in asthma morbidity or mortality since our 1998 report (1), although the downward trend in asthma hospitalizations and asthma mortality might indicate early successes by asthma intervention programs since 1991 (2). A gradual but consistent upward trend occurred in 12-month asthma prevalence during 1980--1996; however, the major changes in question wording in 1997 make forming conclusions regarding the trend since that time impossible. Although a numeric increase has occurred in the numbers and rates of physician office or hospital outpatient department visits and emergency department visits, these increases are accounted for by the increase in prevalence. Opportunities to improve our understanding of this disease and decrease its substantial morbidity in the United States remain. Public health programs must continue to provide scientifically validated programs to improve provider and patient adherence to published guidelines for treating asthma.

ROWLETT -- While neighbors are celebrating the Fourth of July, the Hart family is doing their best just to make it through the day.
"I just need to be a little numb," Megan Hart said, "because my little people are watching me, pretty much constantly."
Under normal circumstances, Megan Hart and her three daughters would love spending the day watching World Cup soccer and rejoicing in 13-year-old Brooke's every step.
Three years ago, Brooke was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, a rare bone cancer that mainly affects children and adolescents. Brooke underwent 10 months of chemotherapy and 26 rounds of radiation treatment before the tumor on her ribs shrunk enough to be removed.
During the surgery, Hart said, a possible stroke in her spine left Brooke paralyzed.
"They were absolutely positive that she would never walk again," Megan said, "and that was our new reality."
Brooke has endured months of grueling rehab that continues to this day. She can walk, with the help of crutches. Her family calls it a miracle.
Brooke's dad, Dirk, was always there pushing his daughter, and making her laugh.
"At least he tried," Brooke said with a smile. "I know he told me that I would walk again and that everything would be OK."
To help make everything OK, last year Dirk cashed in a life-insurance policy to pay down a bit of the million dollars in medical debt. He also took on a second job to supplement the family's income from a home ATM business.
Two weeks ago, the 42-year-old father went to brush his teeth in the morning, collapsed, and died instantly.
Friends have started a Dirk Hart memorial fund to help the family pay off their home, where so many good things have also happened. Click here to see the fund and contribute.
"When something like that happens, you don't want to leave where your family is," Megan said. "And this is where we are a family. And this is where all of my daughter's memories of their dad are."
"So it's injustice after injustice," she said, "but we have been exceptionally blessed, as well. And I trust there will be more blessings in store, as well."
Brooke said she always expected her dad to walk her down the aisle on her wedding day.
She may walk alone, when the time comes, but she will walk. And she says her dad will be there.

FEMA officials assess Windsor County storm damageStraff Report | July 09,2013WINDSOR - State officials said a federal disaster declaration will most likely be issued for Windsor County as a result of recent flooding damage.
Agency of Transportation and Federal Emergency Management Agency officials are visiting Windsor County towns today to determine if Windsor County qualifies for public assistance. AOT representative Chris Bump said Windsor County qualifies for federal assistance if damages are assessed at $195,000.
AOT and FEMA visited several locations Tuesday in Hartland and Windsor and they believe that the damages sustained in both towns will meet the required threshold to qualify for federal assistance.
"We're pretty sure that between these two towns, we'll surpass the threshold," Bump said.
This is the first step in receiving a federal disaster declaration and financial assistance in rebuilding public infrastructure. According to Vermont Emergency Management spokesman Mark Bosma, federal rules mandate the state to show at least $1-million in damages to be considered for a Public Assistance disaster declaration.
Beyond that, an individual county must show damages to roads, bridges, and other public property equaling or exceeding $3.45 per capita or $195,000 to qualify for assistance.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER This election cycle is shaping up to be a favorable one for Vermont incumbents.

DETROIT (AP) -- Rick Porcello pitched seven sharp innings, and the Detroit Tigers took advantage of four Los Angeles errors in a 2-1 victory over the Angels on Sunday.
Three of those errors came on one play in the first inning, allowing Detroit's Ian Kinsler to score from first on a walk. Then in the sixth, Angels catcher Hank Conger threw wildly to first trying to pick off Austin Jackson. It was his second error of the game, and Jackson went to second.
Nick Castellanos followed with an RBI single to put Detroit ahead 2-1.
Porcello (2-1) allowed a run and five hits, striking out four and walking one. Three relievers finished, with Joe Nathan pitching the ninth for his third save in five chances.
Hector Santiago (0-3) allowed two unearned runs and two hits in 5 2-3 innings. He walked five and struck out seven.

Getting Paid Off Collecting Jeep Parts
Getting Paid Off Collecting Jeep Parts
There's nothing worse than choosing to test a unique brand of product plus acquiring which they merely aren't because wise because a routine 1. It's worth the try occasionally to quantify how superior a product absolutely is, considering following utilizing or having the same thing for a extended time period you are able to lose the appreciation of the item.
Just like fashion, it's equally entertaining to find styles come plus go. And then there are the occasions where the hardcore enthusiast can tell we which they knew the product was cool all which time. I have a brother which is regarded as those truly fast nothing else might do fans. Especially with regards to Jeeps.
It's not till we see somebody whom is truly into them which we see how much paraphernalia is associated with 1 car. Strangely enough, it's not only what the individual collects; it's all factors which receive provided to him considering persons learn how much he likes them. Unfortunately for him, his spouse merely doesn't see the same appeal in every the items he has gathered over time. You see when jeep stuff may be appealing for a man it doesn't absolutely provide a home which homely feeling. There is just a lot of methods of designing with posters, stickers, cups, key stores plus t-shirts.
Several years of accumulating jeep stuff has lead to countless boxes being stored inside the garage plus not thus much being displayed. There will be no query because to the final resting spot of all of this stuff once the garage got packed.
Funny then how a change of outlook may result in the meaningless suddenly appear useful. We see my brothers' spouse was bidding about several goods online whenever she occurred to come over several products which looked remarkably like the ones stored inside her garage. On closer inspection she found which the products were indeed the same plus to her utter surprise the bidding was sturdy as well as the goods turned out to be very useful.
Needless to state which whenever she had completed lookin online she went directly to the garage plus began sorting out the products inside the boxes. With a new appreciation of the worth of the object she had decided which maybe she had overreacted inside her need the goods packed away.
When I go to my brothers' apartment today there are displays where the elder jeep objects are kept. Although they have not been provided prime positioning inside main living plus interesting room they take delight of region inside the workplace.
While I wouldn't claim which there has been a conversion to the jeep faithful, it really is not unusual today to find my sister-in-law really using the jeep mugs for her tea. Whether she does it considering she certainly values the pieces or whether it's from regard for my brother nobody absolutely cares.

Article: How You Get Fat From Diet Soda
Article: How You Get Fat From Diet Soda
You can view the page at http://anabolicminds.com/forum/conte...From-Diet-Soda
An insulin response is a problem but fortunately for humans, we can exercise choice and willpower where rats can't. Along with showing a correlation of diet soda to fat people, I see an underlying cause of obesity being poor dietary choices around diet soda. It would be interesting to see a study comparing fitness minded people with healthy diets who drink diet soda to fat people. I would bet this study works out to a small correlation.
Good point, but I'm guessing there are more people out there with the poor diets, drinking diet soda and not exercising. It would be interesting to see.
I have often heard and read that carbonated beverages like soda, regardless of diet or not, are not good for your body. Granted, one or two a month might not do any serious damage, but, I bet having one per day is not something that's beneficial.
My sister is addicted to Diet Coke and is always craving cookies and pizza. Having read this, it all makes sense.
"It makes you hungrier and crave even more sugar and starchy carbs like bread and pasta."
"Tell that to a 200-pound 5-year-old with diabetes and liver failure. Our taste buds have been hijacked by the food and diet industry. We are programmed to like sweet, salt, and fat tastes."
It's all about education and choices. Think that 200 lb. 5 year old has a lot of say about what they get to eat or is their parents making those desicions? Can we choose to give in to those cravings or can we make good nutritional choices based on what we know? Yes, the food industry is a part of the weight and health problems we have in this country, but the major part of the problem is the people consuming the unhealthy foods. I don't see anyone holding a gun to the head of the fat guy in front of me in line at fast food places. If we could just educate the country and help people make better choices we would have a far healthier country.
What a complete joke of an article. Telling people its not their fault and feigning responsibility isnt going to help any. "We did a 10-day sugar-free detox with our online community, and 600 people lost more than 4,000 pounds in 10 days!" who even says things like this? Why make me do the math and try to make your numbers sound so large and amazing. Thats 6.67 pounds in 10 days? That sounds healthy! Even though likely it 90% water and glycogen. Youre no better than the diet soda marketing teams spewing your filth.
There have been numerous studies showing only some artificial sweeteners provoke an insulin response. This article is full of speculations and half truths. I eat natural whole foods as a matter of policy and so don't use artificial sweeteners but this article is still junk science.
This article is trash. Losing fat is all about calories in vs. calories out. The insulin stuff is complete broscience
Not to rekindle a somewhat dead topic but is carbonation from a diet soda bade for someone trying to lose weight and get in shape?
So many conflicting things on the net that I'm at a point where I just drink water. Of course this is until they come out and say thats bad for me then I'm screwed.
Was just curious about the carbonation topic. I would love to drink a can or even half a can of diet ginger ale but not if its somewhat bad. Ugh damn you bro science.

- Online sales of $66.3 million, down by 10.3% from $73.9 million in the third quarter of 2011. Online sales represent 90.8% of total sales, the retailer says.
- Offline sales, which the company says represent 9.2% of total sales, were $6.7 million, up by 42.6% from $4.7 million in the same quarter last year. Offline sales include the company's private-label products and wholesale business.
- Total sales of $73.0 million, down by 7.1% from $78.6 million in the third quarter of 2011.

- Total sales of $241.2 million, down by 34.4% from $249.8 million through the first nine months of 2011.

A Phylum in the Kingdom Plantae.
The Phylum Bacillariophyta is further organized into finer groupings including:
- Subphylum (1): Diatomeae
- Class (1): Bacillariophyceae
- Species: ZipcodeZoo has pages for 1,047 species, subspecies, varieties, forms, and cultivars in the Phylum Bacillariophyta.
Diatoms are a major group of algae, and are one of the most common types of phytoplankton. Most diatoms are unicellular, although they can exist as colonies in the shape of filaments or ribbons (e.g. Fragillaria), fans (e.g. Meridion), zigzags (e.g. Tabellaria), or stellate colonies (e.g. Asterionella). Diatoms are producers within the food chain. A characteristic feature of diatom cells is that they are encased within a unique cell wall made of silica (hydrated silicon dioxide) called a frustule. These frustules show a wide diversity in form, but usually consist of two asymmetrical sides with a split between them, hence the group name. Fossil evidence suggests that they originated during, or before, the early Jurassic Period. Diatom communities are a popular tool for monitoring environmental conditions, past and present, and are commonly used in studies of water quality. [more]
At least 9,436 species and subspecies belong to the Class Bacillariophyceae.

Indianola Junior High School was the first junior high school in the United States.[2] Its school building still exists and is owned by the Columbus City Schools, though it is now occupied by Graham Expeditionary Middle School, a charter operated by the Graham Family of Schools. On June 30, 1980, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In 1929, the middle school opened at a different site (19th Ave). 2009 was the middle school's centennial year. Shortly thereafter, the school board closed that building for the 2010 school year and merged the school with the former Indianola Alternative School (see below).[3]
The Columbus Board of Education formally approved the creation of junior high schools in Columbus, Ohio on July 6, 1909, with Indianola Junior High School being the first. Its school building, located at 140 East 16th Avenue in Columbus, still stands.
Until spring of 2007 the building housed the Indianola Alternative Elementary School, which utilizes innovative and nontraditional approaches in the classroom to educate students in kindergarten through the eighth grade. The school was popular with the staff of nearby Ohio State University, who regularly enrolled their children in its progressive program. Educational programs at Indianola were conducted in consultation with education professors and students at Ohio State University.
Largely because of increasing enrollment demands, in 2007 Indianola students moved to the old Everett Jr. High, which had been occupied by the Arts Impact Middle School. The Indianola building was left vacant. In 2009 the school moved to the former Crestview Middle School in Clintonville, which was renovated in preparation for Indianola Alternative to move there. The move to this much larger building allowed Indianola Alternative to significantly increase its enrollment and become a K-8.

It has become the online equivalent of a riot. Tens of thousands of Yahoo users have taken to online Web forums to complain about the look and functionality of the new Yahoo Mail, one of several new product updates introduced over the last 15 months at the behest of its new chief executive and former Googler, Marissa Mayer.
By mid last week, more than 3,000 people had signed a petition on Change.org to bring back the old Yahoo mail. A Facebook group called "Yahoo's New Mail Fail" had nearly 500 members. A number of blogs were blasting the changes. And tens of thousands of users had posted to a Yahoo Mail forum to complain about the second update to Yahoo Mail in less than a year.
"The new Yahoo is so bad it's tragic," wrote one frustrated user. "If it ain't broken don't fix it," wrote another. "It just feels like Yahoo doesn't care about users like me: Longtime, loyal, paying customers who were happily using the Yahoo service," said another.
With an estimated 275 million users, Yahoo used to be the most popular e-mail service in the United States. But it has been surpassed in recent years by Google's Gmail service and Microsoft's Hotmail offering. Yahoo users suspect the new Yahoo mail was Yahoo's unsuccessful attempt to mimic Gmail. "So Yahoo Mail just redesigned to look like Gmail, except with a towering ad on the right?" one user Tweeted.
Like Gmail, Yahoo's new Mail service now organises e-mail threads by conversation, rather than sorting them through integrated tabs. It also offers users the option to include a background image. As in Gmail, users can search for e-mails by senders, but they can no longer sort their e-mail alphabetically by sender. That has not exactly gone over well.
"Currently the product feels like a alpha version of a Gmail," one user posted to a Yahoo Mail forum. "I feel personally abused by Yahoo since, as a paying customer I didn't subscribe to the new release of the product and was migrated without any warning. This is a tool for me, not a toy."
Users were also angered by a number of features that were removed in the current update. There is no longer an option to print e-mails, for instance, and a "Save Draft" button was swapped out for a less intuitive "X" button, which left many users frustrated and confused. "What a great idea, remove

Tips to Grilling Healthy
Summer is well underway, and what better way to celebrate this time of year than firing up the grill and barbecuing with friends? But before you get started on your hot weather festivities, you might want to consider some of the dangers of this seemingly innocent cooking style.
Did you know that charring meat over an open flame can be hazardous to your health? Grilling protein-filled foods, such as hot dogs and hamburgers, can form substances known as HCA and PAH (heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons). HCA occurs when foods are cooked at higher temperatures and create a charred coating on the outside of meats. HCAs are also found in cigarette smoke and have been associated with cancers of the stomach, colon, liver and skin. PAHs form when juice from meat drips onto hot coal, creating smoke. According to the Cancer Research Institute, "HCAs and PAHs have been found to be mutagenic—that is, they cause changes in DNA that may increase the risk of cancer."
Does this mean you should rethink all your summer plans? Not exactly. Although grilling may come with some risks, there are some other ways to help minimize the risks of both HCAs and PAHs.
