mum, dad and me in nuigini in early 1968
a good friend here in japan sent me this email a few months ago:
do you mind if i ask you a personal question? please don't answer if it upsets you. not my intention at all. and perhaps email isn't the appropriate forum, but i can't see a time soon enough that we can meet and have a long chat about this.. i was just thinking about you and your mum. i read on your site that you took off and started around australia. i guess there's no norm for grieving, but can you tell me about that process and experience. and she was your mum, to lose her is huge. i gather it wasn't really that long ago also. so how does it all still effect you now? how do you deal with the pain?
I told her I would need some time to think about the answer and that it wasn't the first time I've been asked these questions. So I was just lying in bed, trying to sleep and all I could think about was how to answer her questions, and also thinking about my mum. Now I'm wide awake [i wrote most of this a few months ago] and attempting this task at 4 in the morning.
I can't ever remember what year mum died. I know it was a sunny afternoon, and that the shadows were just growing long, and that the date was Dec 9, and that it was 6.09 pm, and that I was holding her hand. But I really have to think about what year it was. I know she had just had her 61st birthday, and she was exactly 30 years and 2 weeks older than me, so I guess that means that she died in… 1998. Wow. So this year she'll have been gone for 5 years. Strange, she still seems so very real to me. I can hear her voice, imagine her wry comments, hear her chuckle…and her cough. That damn cough.

She died from complications caused by emphysema. That she was an alcoholic didn't help matters. The most disturbing re-occurring visual picture I get from that time is the sight of the syrupy brown stringy liquid in her catheter bag – her liver finally failed. As did the rest of her battling body.
I remember her specialist doctor making his examination the day after she was checked back in to hospital for the second time in 6 weeks. I was sitting on a chair at the end of the bed when he came around to me and kneeled down, his hand gently resting on mums right foot. Hugh (Dad) is ready for this, isn't he? ready for what?He looked over at her. This is it, we've done all we can do. Her body just can't take any more. It's failing. There is nothing we can do except let her go.
I nodded mutely. We all knew that the time would eventually come. But damn, nothing really prepares you for the shock of hearing those words. My stomach lurched and I felt sick. The arrival of a nurse to check her stats gave me the chance to go and lean on the wall outside, stare in shock at the busy life coming and going in the hospital corridors. I don't think I took a breath for a long time.
I was going to have to be strong because dad was going to fall apart for a little while. He and mum had been married for over 32 years. Their marriage was a strong one, full of fire and passion and fights and love. There was a bad period when we were teenagers, they fought a lot, sometimes violently. It was a long time before I realized what the underlying cause of these fights were. Dad knew something we kids did not. That mum had already started to die a slow, painful death. Even back then, in fact, even back when she was in her 20's, the doctors told her she had cysts on her lungs and that she had to quit smoking. She obstinately refused. She point blank refused to change a single thing about her lifestyle. She said smoking made her happy. And this is what caused those fights. Dad's fury at her not even trying. In the end he just gave up. And together they smoked a pack a day each and drank a bottle of rum between them. Laughed and fought. You have to understand that mum was the life of the party. She loved people, talking to people, getting them to talk about themselves – she was very intuitive.
I didn't live at home from the age of 13, when I went to boarding school, and then went on to university in Brisbane, so my time with her is divided up into memory segments of weekends and holidays. I remember that the weekend I came home after losing my virginity to my first love, she took a drag on her cigarette, took a slow appraising look at me – up and down, and said you've had sex with him, haven't you. And she promptly rang our GP and made an appointment for me to go on the pill. And then she made dad drive me there, after settling him down from a long and furious rant that no daughter of his was going to be having sex at the age of 17. I was so embarrassed, and astonished at her perceptivity.
Damn, she was so onto stuff, you could almost never pull the wool over her eyes. It used to really piss me off, and I would try to hide myself from her as much as I could. We had some teary nights when she would try to break down my barriers. Boarding school had been a miserable experience and I was angry that she had never suspected how bad things were there. And I was angry that she wouldn't give up smoking. That she didn't care enough about my future, my brothers future, that she would never see my kids, or know my brothers kids. I never really forgave her for that and right up to the time that she died, and long afterwards, I stayed a little angry.
So the time had finally come to say our farewells. Emphysema is an awful disease, it deprives the brain of oxygen and turns people into hallucinogenic trippers. Even with an oxygen mask pumping pure oxygen into her system, her lungs and blood were full of carbon dioxide, and she was very confused. She had moments of lucidity, though, that were startling and unforgettable.
My younger brother lives in Port Douglas, 2000 km's north of the sunshine coast. He brought his wife and 2 baby sons down after Dad made the call. Dad's brothers ex-wife, Clair, a great friend of Mum's, picked them up at the airport and brought them to the hospital. She came in while they were organizing themselves outside the room, and leaned over and whispered I've brought your babies, Hellie. Mum's eyes opened wide, and a big smile spread across her face just as David came into the room. oh hello, what are you doing here? Lovely to see you!. She met and briefly held her youngest grandson, Fraser, a baby of 3 months, before sinking back to sleep.
Another time she opened her eyes suddenly and looked at me. this is different, Martine, this is bad, isn't it? I stared, mute. What do you say? I think I just mumbled some words of agreement. A little while later, she opened her eyes again. you be your best, darling. Then promptly closed her eyes again and drifted off.
The worst of it all was yet to come. Somehow she had grasped that she was dying. She wanted to say her goodbyes. She wanted to say them so badly that she got stuck on a loop. And that was ALL she could say. bye, bye, see ya, bye. Like a casual childhood phrase. Over and over again. To this day I can't hear that combination of bye-bye, see ya without thinking of Mum.
Dad was already finding it difficult to be there, to see her dying. He walked in one afternoon and gave her a kiss, and she started the loop again. He just lost it. he backed out of the room and didn't come back till the day before she died, after she had stopped looping the words. My brother wasn't coping either, and my sister in law was struggling with 2 babies in a house that wasn't her own, with no nursery equipment other than a hastily packed suitcase.
So that left me doing the death watch, which is exactly where I wanted to be - making sure the nurses were being attentive, and not too rough. I needed to be useful. Helping turn her. Adjusting the oxygen levels when needed. Checking her chart and calling the nurses when it was time for her next morphine.
Clair came and sat with me a lot, and offered me great support. The nurses were really sweet, offering me a CD player and some classical music CD's. One of them remarked that it was such a relief to find a family that was semi-prepared for the event. In the room next to mum's was the mother of a large fishing family. She had been diagnosed with cancer 8 months prior but the family hadn't really been too prepared for the haste of it all. There was much wailing and sadness in the corridors outside her room. She died the night before Mum did.
That time was obviously very surreal. The hospital was small and private, surrounded by lovely forest. The view out the window of mums room offered some peace, and that's how I know that the shadows were getting long when she died, because I spent a lot of time gazing out that window, trying to get a grasp of the fact that my mother was dying and that we hadn't finished talking.
Clair and I spent a lot of time talking about death, and how sad it was that our menfolk couldn't, wouldn't be here at this important time. The afternoon before she died, Clair and Elissa (my sister in law) were sitting with me. A nurse poked her head in and told us that the chaplain was doing his rounds, - would we like him to see Mum? Thinking that it might be of some comfort to Mum, not that she (nor any of us) was a particularly religious woman, I agreed. We found ourselves holding hands around her bed as we joined the chaplain in saying the lords prayer and a few other last rite-type prayers. I still hadn't cried, although this one tested me. I never dreamed I'd be standing in a prayer circle saying the lords prayer over my mother. Things were truly surreal.
And so the time finally came. Clair had been sitting with me that afternoon, but had left to go eat some dinner (and a few scotches, no doubt). The family GP poked his head in to see how we were doing. He sat with me a while and I asked him how much longer this was going to take. We talked, and he reached over and took off her oxygen and hung it on the wall. He sat and gazed at her for a while, teary eyed, then bent over and kissed her forehead and left. He was and is a good friend of the family, and he loved my mother.
It took about an hour. Her breath became slower and slower. I called the nurse, she stood behind me with her hand on my shoulder. it won't be long now. She reached down and pressed play on the CD player, as I shakily took a hold of mums hand. Mum died listening to Vivaldi's Four Seasons. I could see the actual moment. The change in her body. Everything went limp. I was surprised – I thought she was already as limp as she was going to get. 2 large, single tears rolled from her eyes. And she was gone. Just like that.
Today is the 5th anniversary of that day. Traditionally, I usually have a synchronized drink of rum and coke with my dad and my brother (where ever we all may be at the time), at 6.09 pm. This year I'll be in class. The rumbo's will have to wait.
I know I haven't really answered my friends questions yet - the grieving process. But this piece is certainly a part of dealing with that. Maybe on her next anniversary I'll do part 2. It's an ongoing process. A part of life. Something you live with. I know one thing for sure. I feel utterly privileged to have been there at my mothers moment of death - to have held her hand, kept a physical contact with her. To be a part of someones death undoubtedly helps the grieving process, it makes it real and honest and not some deep dark mystery. It makes it very final. And easier to accept. So I strongly recommened it to anyone out there who is facing the imminent death of someone they cherish. Be there.

You can make a solar system model out of many types of materials. The one thing you should keep in mind is scale; you will need to represent the different planets according to differences in size.
You should also realize that a true scale will probably not be possible when it comes to distance. Especially if you have to carry this model on the school bus!
One of the easiest materials to use for planets is Styrofoam© balls. They are inexpensive, lightweight, and they come in a variety of sizes.
There are two main types of models: box models and hanging models. You will need a very large (basketball sized) circle or semi-circle to represent the sun. For a box model, you could use a large foam ball, and for a hanging model you could use an inexpensive toy ball. You will find inexpensive balls at a one-dollar store.
You can use inexpensive finger paint or markers to color the planets. A sample range when considering sizes for planets, from large to small, might measure:
(This is not the right order--see the sequence below.)
- Jupiter (brownish with a red spot): 4-7 inches
- Saturn (yellow with red ring): 3- 6 inches
- Uranus (green): 4-5 inches
- Neptune (blue): 3-4 inches
- Venus (yellow): 2 inches
- Earth (blue): 2 inches
- Mars (red): 1 and 1/2 inches
- Mercury (orange): 1 inch
To make a hanging model, you can use dowel rods to connect the planets to the sun in the center. You could also use a hula-hoop toy to form the main structure, suspend the sun in the middle (connect it to two sides), and hang the planets around the circle.
To make a box model, cut off the top flaps of the box and set it on its side. Color the inside of the box black, to represent space. You might also sprinkle silver glitter inside for stars. Attach the semicircular sun to one side, and hang the planets in order, from the sun, in the following sequence:
- Mercury
- Venus
- Earth
- Mars
- Jupiter
- Saturn
- Uranus
- Neptune
Remember the mnemonic device for this is: My very educated mother just served us nachos.

So I'm not sure I've ever heard of the games between SU and NU referred to as the Prose Bowl before, but I like it. And I like this game. I think we should look to keep NU on the schedule in the future. For one thing, they are a decent barometer for us being a similar institution (private, medium-sized, decent academics) and having the journalism angle is fun. It also gives us a competitive, but winnable game against a BCS opponent. It could turn into a bit of a fun, pseudo-rivalry.
I won't really go into the game itself as that has been done excellently by so many others at this point, but I do wonder about one thing:
How much of Nassib's deep ball issues are accuracy on his part and how much have to do with inexperience with these receivers? Sales wasn't around all last season, Kobena had a much smaller role last year, Clark is brand new, and none of the TE's had a huge role last year. I'll be curious to see a) what the deep balls to Lemon look like and b) if the deep ball accuracy improves with everyone else as the season goes on.

The Syncros Speed 280 is a simple saddle pack void of any frills and that is exactly why we love it. Widely considered the perfect size for standard road riding, you can fit 2 tubes, 2 CO2 canisters and a small multi tool.
The pack has a rigid base which creates a structured form. This means you will get no sagging or creases and it makes it easy to get at the contents. The 280 also has a thin vertical profile, much akin to the old school tubular saddle bags. Match the profile with the black on black graphics and we give it top grades for style. The bag attaches to the saddle rail via one Velcro strap. Another seatpost strap is used to completely secure the bag to the bike and prevent it from moving around when in motion.

Alumni Abroad
gives them "a sort of pedestal to stand on"--as well as "a place to shout 'Go Blue!'"
The Italian outpost is one of thirty international U-M alumni groups, from Australia to Vietnam. Members are united by the same forces that bond stateside alumni: shared memories, networking, and U-M sports.
When Andy Fletcher moved from Michigan to Texas, he decided to make new friends by looking for people who were true Blue. It worked so well that he's now president of the U-M Austin Spirit Group and working to expand it into a full-fledged alumni club. (The twenty U.S. spirit groups gather mainly for sports events; the sixty-one clubs do more, including community service projects and helping to recruit students.) Ray Yee, president of the 1,000-member University of Michigan Club of Downriver, says his group awards scholarships and sponsors needy families around the holidays. And--never say die--the Downriver alums hold an annual Beat Ohio State Bust, where members cheer on the Wolverines and smash buckeyes.

Globalization in racing is evident here, as 15 nominees are from Europe or the Middle East. Bob and Beverly Lewis own the most nominees with 10, with West Point Thoroughbreds owning 9. Michael Tabor is part or full owner of 9 nominees, while Dubai-based Godolphin Racing owns 5. 2004 and 2005 Eclipse Award-winning trainer Todd Pletcher has the most nominees with a whopping 38, leading this list for the fifth year in a row. Nick Zito and Richard Mandella are a distant second in this category with 15 nominees each, followed by 14 trained by Bob Baffert, and 13 each trained by D. Wayne Lukas and Steve Asmussen.
"This year's early figures show emphatically the continued viability of racing's Triple Crown," said executive vice-president Edward P. Seigenfeld of Triple Crown Productions. "The response from horsemen on both sides of the Atlantic once again proves that the dream wrapped up in this most difficult of all sporting accomplishments never fades." With the loss of the Visa sponsorship, there will not be a $5 million bonus if a horse sweeps the series.
Nominations during the early period, which closed on January 21, cost $600 but horses can still be nominated by March 25 during the late nomination period for a fee of $6000.

Trey Zeigler to announce his decision tomorrow.
[LVS EDIT: Today, Zeigler tweeted that he'll be announcing his decision tomorrow, and signing a letter of intent on Thursday.] [Bumped. Wednesday is the official start of the late signing period. Dylan has more on Zeigler-related events--including a tweet from Zeigler himself basically saying he hasn't decided yet. -KJ] Not much real information yet but Drew Ellis, who writes for The Morning Sun ("serving Clare, Isabella, and Gratiot countries") has followed up his recent blog concerning the finalizing of Ernie Zeigler's contract extension by stating that 2010 MI SG Trey Zeigler will make his announcement next week. Every reason to believe he got that information directly from the Zeigler camp. Are these two pieces of news related? Time will tell. More details (date? location?) should follow soon. What does this mean for MSU? The wise money has always been on CMU and Zeigler playing for his father. Most bloggers and commentators are stating that UM and CMU are the two likely destinations. However, MSU fans have heard that one before. Remember when Adreian Payne was down to UK and WVU? Still, I wouldn't get your custom "32 Zeigler" MSU jersey printed yet. First, Keith Appling might already have that number. Second, this would be quite the unexpected coup for Tom Izzo as MSU has long been considered a darkhorse. Luckily, MSU has the luxury of viewing Zeigler as just that - a luxury. 2011 and 2012 recruiting are in great shape even if Zeiger passes. On the flip, he would be a game-changer for CMU and a program-saver(?) for UM. UCLA and ASU are also believed to be in the mix. This will end what feels like one of the longest public recruitments in MSU history

The South Daytona Police Department has released surveillance video in an investigation into the murder of man who was killed while doing his laundry at an apartment complex laundromat.
The victim, 67-year-old Donald Clark, was not known to engage in any criminal activity and is believed to have been at the wrong place at the wrong time, detectives say.
The video clips released on Wednesday show two men who investigators are calling "people of interest" to the investigation.
The first video is of a man who was at a nearby Kangaroo convenience store, located at 601 Beville Road, near the laundromat where Clark was murdered. The second video is of a man walking west on Shady Place, near a 7-Eleven convenience store located at Shady Place and U.S. Highway 1, near an apartment complex where Clark 's vehicle was recovered a few days after his murder. Both videos were taken around the same time as the murder, investigators say.
Detectives also believe that a bicycle left behind at the crime scene may have something to do with the murder.
There is a reward of $15,000 for information leading to an arrest in this case. Anyone with information on the identity of these people interest is asked to call Crimestoppers of Northeast Florida at 888-277-TIPS (8477) or Investigator John "Zack" Pickett at 386-322-3030.

A substance produced by honeybees, royal jelly is rich in vitamins, amino acids, and compounds that help curb inflammation. While some people use royal jelly to boost their energy levels, stimulate their immune system, or treat minor ailments such as seasonal allergies and premenstrual syndrome, royal jelly is also purported to aid in the management of type 2 diabetes (a major illness that can lead to heart disease).
To date, very few scientific studies have tested the use of royal jelly as a treatment for diabetes. While some preliminary research suggests that royal jelly may help fight diabetes by regulating blood sugar levels, it's too soon to recommend royal jelly for diabetes control.
Several studies indicate that natural remedies like ginseng and cinnamon) may aid in diabetes management. Additionally, there's some evidence that drinking black tea on a regular basis and maintaining optimal levels of vitamin D may be of some benefit to people with diabetes.

This is not my first riot but it was definitely the best. It's so good to see solidarity in action, to see prisoners of different races and factions coming together like this. We need more of this before we can really start making positive changes in this system!
October 4, 2009
Although much of prison health care is inadequate, many of its youthful captives can at least squeak by on what's presently provided. Not so for those over 50 years of age, most of whom are beset by the common old age infirmities. The smartest and quickest way to begin reducing prison health care costs and prison overcrowding is to release aged and infirmed Lifers and those serving Life Without Parole (LWOPs).

Update: Missing woman found safe after urgent appeal
Updated 12:20am Thursday 26th June 2014 in News
An urgent hunt for an 84-year-old woman who went missing in Pershore was called off after she was found safe and well back at her home on Merseyside.
Police issued an appeal urgently for the public's help in tracing the elderly lady who disappeared while attending a graduation ceremony with her family at Pershore College. At 4pm on Wednesday she went outside into the college's grounds and had not been seen since.
Her family and police were extremely concerned about her welfare, not least because she has a serious heart condition.
But Edna Davies was later discovered in West Kirby after making her own way home.

- Product Review (submitted on June 15, 2013):
- The chrome matches the mirrors. The frosted glass is a nice touch. Product is durable and easy to assemble. Suitable for damp locations. For the price can't beat it. I put led bulbs in the fixtures on a dimmer. Much better than the vanity style light bar I had previously installed.

When I'm not writing about Surrealism, I design stuff including, sometimes, scarves: well it worked for Elsa Schiaparelli...
I was delighted to work with the wonderful Age of Reason again, this time on a design showing British cultural - and other - icons, each wearing a scarf tied in a different style.
The version posted above is one of several colour schemes I tried out for the scarf. You can see the final colourway here. The scarf is available in three sizes, from a reasonable £35 for a headscarf to £195 for something you could probably camp under...
(ps: spot the non-Briton: she was off project but I couldn't resist her)

Associated Press
DETROIT (AP) - A Detroit-area man has been sentenced to a minimum of nearly seven years in prison for trying to hire a hit man to kill a suspect in his wife's slaying.
Robert Bashara (buh-SHER'-uh) of Grosse Pointe Park says he's truly sorry for his actions. Wayne County Judge Bruce Morrow sentenced him Monday to a minimum of 80 months in prison and a maximum of 20 years. The state parole board will determine when to release him.
Bashara admits he tried to arrange the killing of his handyman, Joe Gentz, who is charged with strangling Jane Bashara.
Jane Bashara was killed in her garage last January. Robert Bashara insists he had no role in her death, but police have called him a person of interest.

After the 8th circuit issued a stay on Judge Nelson's ruling and more or less signaling that they will rule in favor of the owners, the sentiment was that the players should really get back to the table to try and get a deal done. The owners have stuck to that line all along (whether they believe it or not), but the players have been a bit more combative. That's understandable give that they aren't the ones who opted out... But, we are where we are and eventually the rhetoric has to be dialed down if a deal is going to get done.
While DeMaurice Smith might still be angry, the players seem to be cooling down a bit. Two player representatives spoke yesterday and while nothing they said was groundbreaking, they at least weren't attacking the other side and seemed to open to negotiation.
Scott Fujita of the Browns says that time is of the essence and we're getting to the point where the season is being negatively affected. "I know that the longer that this goes on this is going to get worse and worse," Fujita said.
Eric Winston of the Texans wasn't talking about lawsuits either. Again, he doesn't say anything earth shattering here, but the talk is about "beating" the other side. That's progress.
"There has to be real compromise, there has to be some real understanding on both sides," Winston said. "If we can get both sides and we can mutually agree to a deal and we all feel it is fair, I think it should be a long deal. This isn't good for football. Period. It's not good for the players, it's not good for the owners, and it's not good for anybody."
The next session of mediation scheduled for after the June 3rd appeals date before the 8th circuit. If the owners win that case, as is expected, it would not at all be surprising to see a deal get done during those mediations. Sal Pal reported yesterday that Roger Goodell, DeMaurice Smith and the federal magistrate in charge of the mediation all went out for lunch. That's got to be seen as a positive sign.

The 2012 season was one of Dan Kennedy's stellar years, standing out in every match played. The Red-and-White 'keeper closed the season second in league standings with 109 saves. Kennedy started in 32 games this year before a knee injury cut his season short.
Kennedy's save nominated for MLS Save of the Year is for one against Marvin Chavez. In the 68th minute of the match, Honduran Marvin Chavez took a left-footed shot from the right side of the box; Kennedy, with his cat-like reflexes, was able to push the ball out for a corner kick. This save also earned him a nomination to MLS Save of the Week .
Re-live Kennedy's save and make sure to cast your vote for MLS Save of the Year by clicking here. Poll closes Saturday, Nov. 17:
One week into joining Chivas USA, Colombian-born Juan Agudelo notched his first goal with the club in the 1-1 draw with Seattle Sounders on May 26 at The Home Depot Center.
In the 57th minute of the match, former Sounder James Riley took a shot into the box, finding Agudelo who defeated the Seattle goalkeeper and defender to score the first goal of the night. The 19-year-old striker would go on to play 20 matches (16 starts), notching three goals and three assists.
Stay tuned for the rest of the countdown! At the end, make sure to look for the poll to cast your vote for your favorite goal.
In nine years with New England Revolution, midfielder Shalrie Joseph scored a total of 37 goals in 261 games (254 starts) with the club. Then Joseph was traded on August 1 to Chivas USA, but it didn't take long for him to begin scoring for the Goats, notching two goals in one game, a special one for the Grenada-born player.
Chivas USA travelled to Boston on August 29 for a mid-week match against the Revolution, Joseph's first return since being traded earlier that month. Just when all seemed lost for the Goats after going down 3-nil by the 20th minute, Joseph scored. As if one goal against his former club wasn't enough, Joseph notched his second of the night for the Red-and-White to make the match 3-2.
In the last minute of the first half, Juan Agudelo made a pass to Joseph who with a left-footed shot from outside the box, put the ball into the back of the net to put the Goats back in the game. It was a real comeback game for the Goats who avoided leaving Gillette Stadium without any points; the match ended in a 3-3 draw after Miller Bolaños scored the third goal in the 47th minute.
Stay tuned for the rest of the countdown! At the end, make sure to look for the poll to cast your vote for your favorite goal.
Paolo Cardozo joined Chivas USA after the club traded David Junior Lopes to the LA Galaxy in early April. And in his first match against his old club, the Uruguayan-born midfielder let the Galaxy know what they let go, notching his first professional goal in MLS.
Cardozo came into the match in the 45th minute of the second SuperClásico of the season. Seven minutes into the match, Cardozo took a shot from the 18-yard line, striking it past Galaxy goalkeeper Josh Saunders, giving the Goats hope for a comeback after going down 2-nil. Unfortunately, the match ended in a 3-1 win for the Galaxy.
Despite the loss, Cardozo's goal earned him a nomination for MLS Goal of the Week. Check it out:
Stay tuned for the rest of the countdown! At the end, make sure to look for the poll to cast your vote for your favorite goal.
The season might be over for Chivas USA, but the team returned to The Home Depot Center this morning for training after two days off.
The Goats kicked off the morning with light warm-up exercises led by coach Jim Liston. The team then proceeded to what would cover the rest of the training: a 5v5 tournament with four groups. The team with black jerseys took first place with 23 points, just one point more than second place grey team. In the final game, the black team defeated the grey squad 2-1. In the end of the tournament, goalkeeper coach Daniel Gonzalez was named MVP of the tournament, with the least amount of goals against.
Chivas will return to training tomorrow morning and will have the weekend off before returning to training once again Monday morning.

In his first return to Red Bull Arena since leaving New York Red Bulls in 2011, Colombian forward Juan Pablo Angel notched an amazing goal against former club to give Chivas USA a 1-0 lead.
In the 47th minute of the match, a corner kick taken by then-Chivas midfielder Blair Gavin found Rauwshan McKenzie, whose header found Juan Pablo Angel, leading to the game-opening goal. Ten minutes later, New York would score the equalizer, ending the match in a 1-1 draw. Angel's 70th MLS career goal earned him a nomination for Goal of the Week.
Angel was the team's top goal scorer in 2012, notching four goals in the season. Since joining the club mid-season in 2011, Angel has scored a total of 11 goals, playing in 28 games (18 starts). Angel, who played for the Red Bulls from 2007-10, is the top goal scorer in the club's history, scoring 58 goals.
Re-live Angel's goal and classy celebration, and make sure to vote for him for MLS Goal of the Year:
Two matches into 2012, Chivas USA was unable to reach victory or score the first goal of the season. Then the road match at Real Salt Lake came and 2012 MLS SuperDraft pick Casey Townsend made the difference in the game, giving the Goats their first three points and notching the first goal of the season.
In the 72nd minute of the match, defender Ante Jazic made a cross that RSL goalkeeper Nick Rimando attempted to grab the ball but let go, allowing Townsend to score his first professional goal.
Stay tuned for the rest of the countdown! At the end, make sure to look for the poll to cast your vote for your favorite goal.
Chivas USA U16 players Hugo Arellano, Joshua Perez and Coach Mike Munoz joined the U.S. U15 Team training camp last Saturday in Carson. And this Thursday, the two players and coach will go head-to-head against the Red-and-White U15 squad at 5 p.m. in The Home Depot Center's Field 2.
Just last Sunday, Chivas USA's U16 squad was able to earn their third consecutive win, this time against Real So Cal. Mark Hernandez, Edgar Murillo and Alejandro Vergara each scored one goal to give the young Red-and-White team the 3-nil victory. With the win, the Goats remain firm in second place with a 3-1-2 record.
Meanwhile, the U.S. squad initiated camp last Saturday. Chivas, along with 11 other teams, give the squad two players currently listed in U.S. Soccer Development Academy rosters.
Make sure to come and cheer on Chivas USA's U15 squad; entry is free.
Chivas USA's U16 forward Joshua Perez has been named U.S. Soccer Development Academy's Peak Performer for Week 7 after a great performance in last Sunday's match. Perez, 14, helped lead his team to a 4-0 victory over Pateadores, assisting in the first three goals of the match, and notching his own goal in the 61st minute of the match.
"Josh still is the youngest player on our team," said Chivas USA U15 Head Coach Mike Munoz. "We've asked him this year to step up and be one of the leaders in the team and to start putting up bigger numbers in terms of scoring goals and assists and he's really taken to it; obviously with one goal and three assists [last weekend] is a job well done."
With the win, the Red-and-White U16 squad was able to move to second place in the Southwest Division, with a 2-1-2 (W-L-T) record and one less match played than first place Real Salt Lake. Perez has played in four matches (three starts)
Perez will join now Chivas USA U15/16 Coach Mike Munoz and fellow teammate Hugo Arellano for a one-week U.S. U15 National Team Camp to be held at The Home Depot Center from Oct 27 to Nov 3.
Chivas USA headed to training this morning in preparation for this Sunday's final match of the season at FC Dallas. After a few stretching exercises, the team was divided into two squads for a scrimmage consisting of two 30-minute halves.
Before the end of the first half, forward Juan Agudelo scored the first goal for the yellow team as Jorge Villafaña crossed a ball that the young forward pushed into the back of the net past goalkeeper Tim Melia. A few moments after the start of the second half, Jose Correa equalized the match for the red team.
Academy players Ben Spencer and Amaya Adonis came into the scrimmage for the second half. Spencer was able to put the yellow team back in the lead, but short moments later, Correa scored the second goal for the reds. Once the match seemed like it would end in a draw, Casey Townsend slid to give the red team a 3-2 win over the yellow team.
Team will have Thursday off but will return to training this Friday ahead of their trip to Dallas on Saturday.

I've facilitated a women's book club known as Bibliotherapy for over 5 years now. That's like 35 in dog years! I'm pleasantly surprised that we've been able to maintain our monthly commitment through births, divorces, transitions, moves, and most importantly, some horrible reads. I just finished up our pick for January, Kryistyn Kusek Lewis' How Lucky You Are.
The Amazon summary reads:
an engaging and moving novel about three women struggling to keep their longstanding friendship alive. Waverly, who's always been the group's anchor, runs a cozy bakery but worries each month about her mounting debt. Kate is married to a man who's on track to be the next governor of Virginia, but the larger questions brewing in their future are unsettling her. Stay-at-home mom Amy has a perfect life on paper, but as the horrific secret she's keeping from her friends threatens to reveal itself, she panics. As life's pressures build all around them, Waverly knows she has some big decisions to make. In doing so, she will discover that the lines between loyalty and betrayal can become blurred, happy endings aren't always clear-cut, and sometimes you have to risk everything to gain the life you deserve.
I haven't figured out if I liked it or did not like it. Part of my disappointment is that I was expecting chick lit, literary junk food on my night stand. But, what I got was Brussels sprouts. Alas, there is no emotional porn to be found amidst these pages. Nope, this here novella includes real life drama that hits home. If I wanted that, I would've just read one of those World War II memoirs.
None the less, Lewis' work of fiction begs some important questions about our non-fiction lives. Why do we find it so easy to keep secrets from even our closest of confidants? Why do we shirk away from revealing our deepest pains? Why, when a friend reveals something heavy, do I wince and nod as if it's unfathomable, despite the fact that I share the same sorrow? {Don't tell me you've never done that.}
If I place the model of the early church on top of my 21st century American life in da burbs, I realize that it's not about meeting the physical and financial needs of others. There is a time for that, but it doesn't happen as often in my circle as it did back then, when they were being forced out of homes and families for confessing the name of Christ.
The needs of those around me are much more emotionally and spiritually based. These are the things that I gloss over by making small talk about kids' activities or a home improvement project. I dismiss the fact that my friend doesn't seem like her normal self for weeks now. I don't ask why she keeps rescheduling our coffee dates. I don't pursue her when she doesn't show up to regular commitments for weeks on end. Then, I'm utterly astounded when she reveals that her husband has moved out.
Waverly is completely taken aback by the secrets of her friends. She is caught off guard, not even suspecting them in the least. The struggles of my friends should not come as a surprise to me. These things should be shared well before the big crisis strikes. Lewis' characters are missing out on the blessing of true community. I'm writing all about what that looks like in the context of marriage over at Bohemian Bowmans today. Here's a snippet of my post:
We need others to point out patterns, to affirm what we're doing well, and to ask us the hard, awkward questions that reveal the true state of a union-especially when we're not willing to admit it ourselves...read more here.

Illinois fired Bruce Weber Friday, one day after the Illini lost to Iowa in the first round of the Big Ten tournament, the coach told ESPN.com.
Weber will not coach in the NIT -- if the Illini (17-15 overall, 6-12 Big Ten) were to be selected -- or in any other postseason tournament.
Weber said recently that the buyout on his contract is $3.9 million.
VCU's Shaka Smart is expected to be a candidate for the job. Smart, who took the Rams to last year's Final Four, and Illinois athletic director Mike Thomas once worked together at Akron.
Weber becomes an immediate candidate to return to Southern Illinois, where he coached before replacing Bill Self at Illinois when Self left for the Kansas job.

InvestorJabber: Marc Faber, Honest Dr. Gloom & Doom
His honest and brash criticism of President Obama not withstanding, Marc Faber deserves the center-stage for his matter-of-fact approach to the entire global recovery, especially his take on Treasuries.
In the long-run, for sure US Treasurys and most government bonds are a suicidal investment. But as a shorter-term timeframe, and I think for the next three months or so, I think we have a situation where stock markets have become very overbought, and emerging markets in January, most of them failed to make new highs above the November, December highs, and recently some of them have sold off very considerably, plus the Chinese market is giving you a signal that something is not right in the Chinese economy, because it is going down. For the next three months you have to shift out of the Emerging Markets, they may correct 20-30%, out of industrial commodities, on a relative basis. And I think the sentiment, just recently, was overly optimistic on the reflation trade, and overly negative about treasury bonds, so treasury bonds right now are oversold, and as of tonight I got the buy signal on US Treasurys. I think Treasury are the best place for the next 3 months, as is the US dollar. I think a correction is coming in the range of 10% in the S&P and 20-30% in the emerging markets.
Finally, we applaud his criticism of the Davos meetings…Well Done, Sir:
I dont think the 'thinkers' are in Davos. I think it's a group of liars, and people that go along with the system, and perpetuate fraud and abuse, and dubious practices in the financial system.

How to keep mosquitos off your neck and away from your patio this summer.
By Jack Romig • Special to The Morning Call
The routine is familiar: buzz, slap, blurted expletive of choice. Visits from biting mosquitos may seem faintly comical at times, with those pesky little rascals irritating hapless humans to no very serious ill effect. In truth, it's no joke, as you begin to realize once your picnic or volleyball game has been driven indoors by clouds of nasty bloodsuckers.

I've been in London since the day the tourney started. I've watched all the bruin games online (thanks CBS). With the time change the games ussually start between midnight and 3 am. Since only the first 3 rounds are available online, I found an alternative venue. The Sports Cafe an awesome sports bar that shows a lot of american sports - they have over 100 TVs. The game started at midnight here and ended just before 3am (luckily this place is open really late). If ever in London and need to catch a game, I suggest going here and having a few pints of Guinness (and those pints tasted even better watching the Bruins win). I'm headed back home to San Jose on tuesday so will be back for the final four in the states.
Go Bruins - 4 down and 2 to go for #12

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – All things considered, East Tennessee State didn't play too badly on Thursday night. Lester Wilson had a career night with 31 points. The team connected on 14 three-pointers and hit all 18 free throws they attempted. The Buccaneers (16-13, 9-7 Atlantic Sun) did one thing wrong though. They let Jarvis Haywood find a rhythm.
Behind 24 second-half points from the Jacksonville star, the Dolphins (10-16, 6-9 A-Sun) shot past the Bucs after the halftime break and earned a 91-86 victory inside Swisher Gymnasium on the night that the venerable home of JU basketball showed off its face lift for the first time.
A.J. Merriweather opened the scoring less than 10 seconds in with a baseline jumper for East Tennessee State, but Jacksonville responded with a 7-0 outburst punctuated by a three-point play from Vince Martin for an early 7-2 lead. The Buccaneers would have their own answer however, coming back with a 10-2 run and soon opening up their largest lead of nine at 30-21 by hitting their first five three-pointers and six of their first eight.
Jacksonville came back at ETSU with five straight, the first on a Martin layup off a Haywood feed, followed by Sam Hunt's third triple of the first half, slicing the deficit to 30-26. As the Dolphins struggled for stops in the early going, it was the outside shooting of Hunt that kept the team within striking distance. Still, when Wilson corralled an airballed three-pointer in the final moments of the half and laid it in just before the horn, the Buccaneers led by a count of 41-34 and the Dolphins would once again have to play from behind, just as they did the first time the two teams met in January.
Held to four points in the first half on only four shot attempts, Haywood began seeking out the basketball early on in the second half. He answered two Rashawn Rembert hoops with buckets of his own in the opening two minutes, and an old-fashioned three-point play three minutes into the second stanza made it 46-46 and brought JU back even for the first time since it was tied at nine. The next time down the floor, Haywood knocked home a trey and then assisted on a Javon Dawson transition basket that put the Dolphins out in front, 52-51.
ETSU was comfortable playing at JU's pace and wasn't fazed by the rally, reeling off five straight points to retake a 56-52 advantage. Once again, Haywood put the Dolphins on his back, nailing a jumper to kick off an 11-0 stretch in which Hunt knocked down his fourth three-pointer of the game and RJ Slawson knocked in a pair at the stripe to give Jacksonville a 63-56 lead at the halfway point of the second half.
ETSU was far from done and it was Wilson leading the charge. The sophomore entered the night shooting just 30 percent from long range, but Swisher Gym suited him just fine. A trey ended the Jacksonville run and made it 63-59, and less than four minutes later he'd be at it again, connecting on another deep effort to give the Bucs the lead back at 71-70 with six minutes remaining. After shouldering the scoring load for much of the half, some other Dolphins backed Haywood up and allowed JU to regain command. Haywood fed Keith McDougald in the right corner and the senior found the bottom of the net for a 75-73 lead with 4:50 to play. On the next Jacksonville possession, Martin buried a triple for a five-point lead and an East Tennessee State timeout with 4:20 remaining.
Out of the timeout, Wilson got a friendly roll on a straight-away jump shot to cut the lead back down to three and Martin missed a three-pointer on the other end, but Haywood sprinted across the court to track down the offensive rebound for the Dolphins and McDougald made the most of the extra opportunity by canning a three for an 81-75 lead with just over three minutes to play.
The drama wasn't over just yet. Wilson was fouled on the next trip down the floor and swished all three free throws. After McDougald put JU back up by five, Wilson converted a four-point play as Jacksonville got too aggressive on a defensive close-out. With less than 90 seconds remaining, the Dolphins led by a score of 83-82 and the game seemed destined for a repeat of the game in Johnson City in which a bucket inside the final 10 seconds decided the winner.
Haywood was having none of that. Quickly back down the floor, he fearlessly put up a three-pointer and hit it for a four-point lead. Jacksonville then got a huge stop and hit one of two free throws for an 87-82 edge with 30 seconds to go. Ice water in his veins, Martin hit all four of his free throws in the final seconds to keep the Bucs at bay and give the Fins a vital victory in the league race.
Haywood ended the night with 28 points, knocking down 9-of-10 shot attempts in the second half. Martin added 17 points, a personal-best in a JU uniform for the graduate point guard. McDougald ended the night with 13 points, while Hunt went for 12 on a career-high four three-pointers. Rembert came into the night as the second-leading scorer in the A-Sun and the best in the conference from three-point range, but was held to nine points on 1-of-9 shooting from downtown.
"These guys are still fighting and we made a lot of key shots down the stretch," said Head Coach Cliff Warren. "Tonight we went to the glass against their zone defense and were rewarded with a lot of second opportunities."
With the victory, the magic number is down to one for Jacksonville to clinch a berth in the Atlantic Sun Tournament. A win in any of the remaining regular season contests or a loss from Kennesaw State in any of its final four games takes the Owls out of the running. The Dolphins also climb a half-game ahead of Stetson – who are in action tomorrow night at home against KSU – and pull them within a game of Lipscomb for the sixth spot in the conference.
Jacksonville closes out its home schedule on Saturday afternoon as the Dolphins celebrate Senior Day for Dawson, Martin, McDougald and Slawson. It will be another chance for fans to come out and enjoy some free hoops as Sea Best Seafood hosts its second straight Free Game. JU battles USC Upstate – 81-70 winners over North Florida tonight – at 3:15 p.m. following the women's contest between Jacksonville and Stetson.
Game Notes
- For the first time this season, Jacksonville trailed at the half but came back to win.
- The 57 points that the Dolphins scored in the second half are the most by the team under Cliff Warren. The previous record had been 56 in a game against Campbell on Feb. 16, 2009.
- JU's 29-of-53 performance from the field (.547) was the team's second-best game of the season, trailing only the .651 the Dolphins shot against Kennesaw State on Jan. 1, a game also played inside Swisher Gym.
- East Tennessee State's 14 three-pointers in the contest were the most given up in the Warren Era. On seven previous occasions, opponents had hit 13 threes in a single game.
- In Warren's nine years, ETSU became only the second opponent to hit all of its free throws against the Dolphins. Bethune-Cookman was 22-for-22 on Dec. 30, 2010, but JU won that game as well, 67-60.
- The 50 points scored off the bench by the Buccaneers were 12 more than by any opponent this season. Wilson's 31 points were the most given up by the Dolphins to a single player this season.
- One game after matching his career high of 16 points, Vince Martin set a new high with 17 points, hitting all seven of his free throw attempts.
- Playing on his 19th birthday, Sam Hunt set a new career high with four made three-pointers.

It is essential that parents/guardians advise us of any change of address, telephone number, emergency contacts, doctor or any information the school should know in the best interests of the children. Such details are maintained on the schools administration computer and you are welcome to look at your childs record. From time to time you will receive a copy in order to check for accuracy and completeness.
Child Protection
Our first priority is the childs welfare and safety, therefore there may be occasions when the concern for a child means that we have to consult other agencies before contacting the parents. This is only carried out when absolutely necessary. The procedures followed are laid down by the Wiltshire and Swindon Area Child Protection Committee. This procedure is available from the Headteacher.
Safeguarding Policy
Personal Property
Whilst every effort is made to ensure the safety of personal property, valuables are brought in to school at your own risk and we accept no responsibility for their loss.
Should your child need to take prescribed medicines at school then it is important that you contact the Headteacher. Please note that, as a general rule, it is the responsibility of parents to administer such medicines. Pain relievers such as Calpol/Junior Disprol cannot be administered and should not be sent to school.
Policy can be viewed HERE...
To comply with the law and LA policy, it is our policy to ask for voluntary contributions towards a number of activities such as swimming and school trips. It must be understood that unless these voluntary contributions are received, the activities cannot take place.
We want to be able to continue offering an interesting and varied educational programme, but it will only continue with the full support of all parents. Private instrument tuition in school time is charged fully to the parent by the tutor concerned.

A Scottish great-grandmother has been admonished after she called a man an "English twat" in a row over a disabled parking space.
Charity worker Georgina McCole, 64, told Perth Sheriff Court she had responded to Leslie Bush calling her a "Scottish git" by replying that he was an "English twat."
Sheriff Raymond McMenanim admonished McCole after being told that she had no previous convictions and had never been in trouble before.
The court was told McCole had been on her way to meet the director of housing to formally complain about the way Mr Bush had been "bullying" her granddaughter.
She said Mr Bush was unhappy that her granddaughter used the disabled space despite not being eligible for it, although she had an agreement with the space's owner to use it when he was away from home.
Fiscal depute Chris Macintosh said: "This appears to have occurred because of a dispute over a disabled parking space.
It came to a head at 9.45am on April 9. A discussion took place about the parking of a car and the right to do so.
"The accused was there and took part in the discussion. She began to shout and swear that she would 'get this f*****g sorted out' and would get other members of her family to deal with it. She shouted and screamed in an aggressive manner. During the course of this she called one of the witnesses an English twat."
He added that the police were contacted. McCole, of Fairfield Avenue, Perth, admitted acting in a racially aggravated manner by shouting and swearing at Mr Bush in Toll Gardens, Perth, on April 9.
Sentencing McCole, who wept in the dock, Sheriff McMenamin said: "It seems to me you could have acted in a better fashion and your remark was not one that can be accepted or tolerated by the court. I will admonish you."
It can be a struggle sometimes to find parking in San Francisco, and police said one woman literally fought tooth and nail for a chance to park her car on Thursday.
A 22-year-old woman suffered serious injuries after another woman mauled her over a parking spot, according to police.
The fight began when one person was angry that the other woman swooped into their spot.
Police said the two women were arguing when one asked the other to move her car because it was blocking a driveway.
As the confrontation became heated, witnesses said the two women began pushing and shoving and then one woman began biting the other repeatedly.
"I don't know why she would bite me," said the victim, who asked that she not be identified. "I don't understand why anyone would bite anybody unless you were hungry, and I don't really taste that good. I hope not."
Trevell Council, a friend to the victim, said he witnessed the fight.
"She was like, 'Aaargh, aargh,' and she just kept biting her," Council said. "(She) kept biting her and my girlfriend was like, 'Help. Help.'"
Police identified the suspect as 32-year-old Sara Gillian of San Francisco and said she is being charged with assault with a deadly weapon.
Police said it's not uncommon for people to get into arguments over parking spots in San Francisco, but the biting is something they haven't seen before.

According to an Iowa City police criminal complaint, Derick A. Thoene, 28, walked into Iowa City hall at 11:37 a.m. March 23.
Apparently Thoene approached the lobby receptionist and said, "I have your parking attendant in the trunk of my car, do you want him dead or alive?"
Front desk staff from the police department requested an officer to speak with Thoene following his comments.
Police said that Thoene appeared to be upset and "elevated in emotion" over a parking ticket. He continued to be upset throughout the officer's contact with him, police said.
Thoene was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct – abusive epithets/threat gesture, a simple misdemeanor.
A Swiss man, Peter Thaler, was arrested for drink driving after going to collect his car – the morning after he drove it into the Ruess river near Luzern after mistaking a boating ramp for the entrance to an underground car park.
Thaler, 42, was driving along a rural road in heavy fog when he took a left-turn – expecting to pull into an underground garage.
However, his night nearly came to a very damp end when he pulled up just in time to stop his hatch-back plunging all the way into the river.
Thaler walked home after his failed parking experience, but when he returned to pick up his car the next morning he found the police waiting for him – and ready to give him a breathaliser test.
Unfortunately, Thaler had enjoyed such a raucous night before attempting his drive home that he even managed to fail the test the day after.
'He was confused because of the fog – but mostly because of the drink,' a police spokesman said.
'He lost his licence and will be fined and will have to pay all the costs of the recovery of his car.'
With no underground parking facilities nearby, it still remains a mystery where Thaler hoped to be getting to.
A New Jersey police chief says no one is above the law — not even his wife.
Lodi Police Chief Vincent Caruso ordered an officer to ticket his wife after she double parked while dropping off their 5-year-old son at school.
"She's not above the law," he said on Thursday. "I didn't want her to get any special treatment because of who she is."
The chief paid the $54 ticket.
It's not the first time for Paula Caruso. The chief ordered another officer to ticket her two years ago after she forgot to move their vehicle for street cleaning.
The chief told the newspaper he loves his wife and she's very busy driving their four sons around.
Caruso said his wife did not want to comment on the tickets, saying she's upset by the media attention.

Ring the bell already. Round one is over.
I'm talking about the primary election, which proved that the Carbon County Democratic stronghold isn't all that strong anymore.
When the dust settled early yesterday morning, the county's district attorney, Democrat Richard W. Webb, barely squeaked past Republican William G. Schwab to win the Democratic nomination for judge, 3,432 to 3,324. Schwab, who switched parties early this year, took the Republican side 2,448 to 2,213.

Pignut hickory (Carya glabra) is a common but not abundant species in the oak-hickory forest association in Eastern United States. Other common names are pignut, sweet pignut, coast pignut hickory, smoothbark hickory, swamp hickory, and broom hickory. The pear-shaped nut ripens in September and October and is an important part of the diet of many wild animals. The wood is used for a variety of products, including fuel for home heating.
1. The Silviculture of Pignut Hickory
2. The Images of Pignut HickoryForestryimages.org provides several images of parts of pignut hickory. The tree is a hardwood and the lineal taxonomy is Magnoliopsida > Juglandales > Juglandaceae > Carya glabra (P. Mill.) Pignut hickory is also sometimes called pignut, sweet pignut, coast pignut hickory, smoothbark hickory, swamp hickory, and broom hickory.
3. The Range of Pignut Hickory
The range of pignut hickory covers nearly all of eastern United States. It extends from Massachusetts and the southwest corner of New Hampshire westward through southern Vermont and extreme southern Ontario to central Lower Michigan and Illinois; southward through extreme southeastern Iowa, Missouri, and Arkansas to Louisiana and parts of East Texas. The species grows eastward through Louisiana and along the Gulf Coast to Mississippi and Alabama into central Florida.
4. Pignut Hickory at Virginia TechLeaf: Alternate, pinnately compound, 8 to 12 inches long, with 5 (sometimes 7) leaflets, leaflets are lanceolate and serrate, rachis slender and glabrous, green above and paler below.
Twig: Moderately stout to slender (when compared to the other hickories) and glabrous; leaf scars are 3-lobed to cordate - best described as a "monkey face"; terminal bud is small (1/4 inch), ovate and light brown in color.

Health Status of Older Immigrants in the United States
AbstractIn light of increased immigration to the U.S. over the past thirty years, the authors objective is to examine the unique patterns of health status among immigrants aged 55 and over, using more detailed racial/ethnic categories than previously done. The authors explore health disparities within the immigrant population and between immigrants and natives of the same racial/ethnic group. Logistic regression is used to analyze data from the 1992-1995 National Health Interview Survey. Immigrants are less likely than natives to report an activity limitation or to be obese, but more likely than natives to report themselves in poor or fair general health. There are significant differences among immigrants arriving from different coutries and between immigrants and natives who are of the same race/ethnicity. For some groups and health measures, a large share of the differences are explained by disparities in socioeconomic status; however, for others, the majority of the differences remain after adjusting for education and income. Older immigrants are not a large enough share of the population, nor do they have distinct enough health status, to substantially alter the aggregate prevalence of health conditions in the total population. However, the diversity in health status within the immigrant population is enormous. These estimates can be used to target populations with especially high rates of obesity and limitations.
