Here are some of the latest health and medical news developments, compiled by the editors of HealthDay:
Dr. Oz Rebuked at Senate Hearing Into Fake Diet Products
Celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz was raked over the coals Tuesday at a U.S. Senate hearing into the marketing of fake diet products.
Senators said Oz -- who often touts the virtues of weight-loss products on his syndicated television show -- bears a large measure of responsibility for the problem. Oz countered by saying he himself was the victim of the scammers, NBC News reported.
However, Oz's claim was dismissed by Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill, a Democrat who chairs a Senate subcommittee on consumer protection.
"I don't get why you need to say this stuff because you know it's not true," McCaskill said at the hearing, NBC News reported. "So why, when you have this amazing megaphone, why would you cheapen your show by saying things like that?"
She accused Oz of playing a role in perpetuating diet scams.
"When you feature a product on your show it creates what has become known as the 'Dr. Oz Effect' -- dramatically boosting sales and driving scam artists to pop up overnight using false and deceptive ads to sell questionable products," McCaskill said.
"While I understand that your message is occasionally focused on basics like healthy eating and exercise, I am concerned that you are melding medical advice, news, and entertainment in a way that harms consumers," she added.
Oz acknowledged that he uses "flowery" language on his shows and knows that when he recommends a diet product, scammers use his words to sell bogus products, NBC News reported. The diet products he recommends give hope to people trying to lose weight, according to Oz.
"I actually do personally believe in the items I talk about on the show," he said. "I recognize that oftentimes they don't have the scientific muster to pass as fact. I have given my family these products."
The Senate hearing is a follow-up to January's Federal Trade Commission crackdown on bogus diet products, NBC News reported. Oz has a huge impact on the marketing of such products, the FTC's Mary Koelbel Engle told the hearing.
"For instance, within weeks of an April 2012 Dr. Oz Show touting green coffee bean extract as a miracle fat burning pill that works for everyone, the marketers of the Pure Green Coffee dietary supplement took to the Internet making overblown claims -- like 'lose 20 pounds in four weeks' and 'lose 20 pounds and two to four inches of belly fat in two to three months' -- for their dietary supplement," she said.
FDA to Issue Voluntary Salt Reduction Guidelines for Food Industry
Voluntary guidelines to reduce the amount of salt in grocery and restaurant foods are being prepared for release by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The goal of the guidelines asking the food industry to lower sodium levels is to reduce the number of Americans who die from heart disease and stroke, FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg told the Associated Press.
"We believe we can make a big impact working with the industry to bring sodium levels down, because the current level of consumption really is higher than it should be for health," she said in a recent interview.
In 2010, an Institute of Medicine report said food companies hadn't done enough to make foods less salty, and advised the federal government to set maximum sodium levels for different foods, the AP reported.
However, the FDA prefers voluntary guidelines meant to encourage food makers to gradually lower salt levels in their products in order to give them time to develop lower-sodium foods and to allow people's taste buds to adjust to the lower sodium levels.
"I think one of the things we are very mindful of is that we need to have a realistic timeline," Hamburg told the AP.
Americans consume about 3,400 milligrams (1 1/2 teaspoons) of salt a day. That's one-third more than the amount recommended for good health, and puts people at increased risk for health problems such as high blood pressure and stroke.
Most of the salt consumed by Americans comes from processed foods and restaurant meals. Along with adding flavor to foods, salt is used to prevent the growth of bacteria, increase shelf life, and improve texture and appearance, the AP reported.
While health advocates would prefer mandatory salt standards, they say voluntary guidelines are a good initial action.
However, it's possible companies may be reluctant to lower salt levels in their food products because they're worried that their competitors won't do the same, according to Michael Jacobsen, of the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
In that occurs, "then FDA should start a process of mandatory limits," Jacobson told the AP.
A number of food makers and retailers have already moved to lower salt levels. Subway restaurants said it has reduced salt levels by 30 percent, food giant ConAgra says it made a 20 percent cut, and Wal-Mart promised a 25 percent reduction in many items by next year.
Microwave Helmet Can Detect Strokes: Report
A helmet that uses microwaves to quickly determine whether a person has had a stroke has been developed by Swedish scientists. They said the device could speed stroke diagnosis and treatment, improving patients' chances of recovery.
The helmet bounces microwaves off the brain in order to detect bleeding or a clot. After early studies with 45 patients proved successful, the researchers gave the helmet to ambulance crews to test, BBC News reported.
"The possibility to rule out bleeding already in the ambulance is a major achievement that will be of great benefit in acute stroke care," researcher Professor Mikael Persson said.
"While this research is at an early stage, it suggests that microwave-based systems may become a portable, affordable, technology that could help rapidly identify the type of stroke a patient has had, and get them treated faster," Dr Shamim Quadir, of the U.K.'s Stroke Association, told BBC News.
"By diagnosing and treating stroke as early as possible, we can minimize the devastating impact of stroke, secure better outcomes for patients and, ultimately, save lives. Time lost is brain lost," Quadir said.
The research was reported in the journal Transactions on Biomedical Engineering.
Tobacco Companies Introducing Electronic Cigarettes
Big tobacco companies are jumping into the rapidly expanding and lucrative e-cigarette market.
On Tuesday, a subsidiary of Reynolds American (known for Camel cigarettes) will announce that it will begin distributing its Vuse e-cigarettes across the United States on June 23, The New York Times reported.
A subsidiary of Altria (known for Marlboro cigarettes) will introduce its MarkTen e-cigarettes by the end of the year.
Reynolds plans a national marketing plan for its new e-cigarettes, including television ads in major markets. Critics fear that tobacco makers' ads for their e-cigarettes could glamorize smoking and lead people to start smoking, The Times reported.
A Senate hearing on the marketing of e-cigarettes is scheduled for Wednesday.
Pregnancy Tests To Be Offered in Alaskan Bars
Some bars and restaurants in Alaska will have pregnancy tests available in their women's bathrooms in an effort to reduce rates of birth defects linked to alcohol.
The state has the nation's highest rate of fetal alcohol syndrome, which causes brain damage and growth problems in children exposed to alcohol during pregnancy, NBC News reported.
About 180 babies are born with fetal alcohol syndrome in Alaska each year. The rate of binge drinking among women of child-bearing age in the state is 20 percent higher than the national average, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In December, the state government will place free pregnancy tests in 20 bars and restaurants.
"A woman who is in a bar can go into the bathroom and have a free pregnancy test, completely private, no forms to fill out," said state Sen. Pete Kelly, who proposed the two-year, $40,000 program, NBC News reported.
He believes the tests will encourage women to "do the responsible thing" and avoid alcohol if they discover they're pregnant.

The Celtics face the Timberwolves twice this season, and hopefully the second-time that these two teams match-up, it will be headlined by the positional battles of Rajon Rondo going head-to-head with Ricky Rubio, and Kevin Garnett squaring off against the new face of the franchise in Minnesota, Kevin Love.
Unfortunately, Rubio is still recovering and will be in street clothes for tonight's contest.
This leaves Garnett v. Love as the match-up that most fans will keep their eyes on.
There are two major keys for Boston in this game.
The first is rebounding. The Timberwolves are the fourth best rebounding team in the league, averaging 45.4 rebounds per game. Keep in mind that this team has been without Love for most of this young season.
The Celtics have got to be active on the glass, making a conscious effort to box out.
The second key is for Boston's bench to outscore Minnesota's. The Timberwolves are a deep team, featuring athletic scorers off of the bench.
With Rondo back from suspension, Courtney Lee will return to the bench. This works out favorably for the Celtics, as Lee will be asked to help contain one of Minnesota's greatest weapons off the bench, Alexey Shved, who is averaging 10.8 points per game.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
The goal was to create a mouth watering brochure about a beef product. We set out to find the best photography and spent a lot of time on developing content for the products as well as developing a story line for the Dalton Ridge brand. The result was a very well put together brochure that communicates a great product.

Q. The Bills showed a weakness against the run last weekend, how important is Frank Gore this week?
A. The heart and soul of the 49ers offense is Frank Gore and the running game. Jim Harbaugh and offensive coordinator Greg Roman craft game plan's around the weakness of an opponent's rush defense for Gore to take advantage of. This season Gore has not showed any signs of slowing with 326 rushing yards and five touchdowns. He and Kendall Hunter lead a rushing attack that is ranked third in the league in rushing with an average of 167 yards per game. The Bills defense will have their hands full not only with Gore and Hunter, but also with the possibility of Brandon Jacobs returning from a knee injury for his first game this season. The only way the Bills will win is if they stop the Gore and the running game. But with the way the Bills D collapsed last week and their 22nd ranked rushing defense, the 49ers will run all Mario Williams and the defense.
Q. The team's coming off a dominating victory over the Jets, will that be a confidence booster against the Bills?
A. After losing in an upset to the Vikings in week three the 49ers needed a big win last week. In the dismantling of the Jets, the Niners returned to what lead them to wins in the first two games with a run-first offense and a dominating defense. The 49ers knew they were a much better team than the one that lost to the Vikings. The big win last week showed the loss was just a bump in the road. With the home crowd advantage the 49ers will have double confidence and momentum against the Bills.
Q. The team showed last week that Colin Kaepernick has some ability as a wildcat option. Should the Bills defense be preparing for more of that this weekend?
A. At no point this season can I remember Jim Harbaugh talking or hinting about Colin Kaepernick being part of the 49ers offense other than coming in because of an injury. But that's what makes Harbaugh unleashing Kaepernick on the Jets so genius. It was unexpected and thus something defensive guru Rex Ryan did not think of to game plan for. But now the secret is out about Kaepernick and the Bills defense should watch out any time he steps on the field. The Bills can try preparing for Kaepernick, but it is hard to mimic his speed and strong arm in practice. The player the Bills defense will see on the field will be much different than the one they game planned for during the week.
Q. Who are the players that need to step up for the 49ers to come away with the victory?
A. The passing offense as a whole needs to step up for San Francisco. The running game gained 247 yards last week but the passing offense only had 143 yards and no touchdowns. Some of that total had to do with the 49ers being in kill the clock because of the blowout, but Alex Smith will need gain over 200 yards so the offense does not become one-dimensional. Smith and the receivers have played well this season but they need to keep up the consistently each week.
Q. Alex Smith appears to finally be coming into his own on the 49ers. How much of Jim Harbaugh's offense is dependent on his play?
A. Harbaugh's offense depends a lot on Smith. Not only because of Smith's abilities at quarterback, but also because he does not make bad decisions by forcing passes and throwing interceptions. Smith is a threat in the passing game which keeps defenses honest in having to defend against the pass. This helps to setup and protect the running game.
Q. And finally your prediction for this week.
A. The 49ers are returning home after a huge win and are eager to move into a tie for the NFC West division lead with the Cardinals. This spells disaster for the Bills as the 49ers will run all over them and the defense will force Ryan Fitzpatrick to throw interceptions. 49ers win 30-10.

Snagged this from K. Here's some stuff I've been doing and thinking...
Making... Like a tree and getting out of the office for a lunchtime walk.
Cooking... Breakfast for dinner tonight.
Drinking... Water and tea and sparky water. I like choices.
Reading... Best Friends Forever, by Jennifer Weiner.
Wanting... A Clarisonic.
Looking... Like it's going to rain on Halloween. Boo. No pun intended.
Playing... The "Scottish Traditional" station on Pandora. I blame Outlander.
Wishing... For a vacation.
Enjoying... The crisp mornings. So crisp.
Waiting... Patiently for daylight savings time to be over. I'll take dark at 5pm over dark at 7:30am any day of the week.
Wondering... What my next job will be.
Loving... My improv class! It's super fun times, even though every time I think about five weeks from now (the student show), I have to all of a sudden run to the bathroom.
Hoping... We can make a trip to San Diego sometime soon.
Marveling... At my kid! She sang me a song in Spanish this morning. Like, when is she learning Spanish how is this even happening etc.?
Needing... Some new clothes. (Not wanting to do the shopping, though.)
Wearing... A shirt and boots my mom gave me. Also a scarf that made my cube mate ask me if I'd injured my neck. Soooo, not a great look, maybe?
Following... Everyone from three years ago and finally checking out Bossypants from the library.
Noticing... That recently my tum hurts after I have dairy. Say it ain't so!
Knowing... As much as I want to see Gone Girl in the theater, it'll never happen. KIDS, man.
Feeling... A little blue finding out today that my yoga studio is changing ownership. I had an actual nightmare the other night that my favorite teacher moved to Oregon (I spent the entire dream sobbing), so I feel like I must have had a touch of the ESP with this one. (I don't think the change in ownership will affect the class schedule/my beloved teacher, but it still makes me a little on edge.)
Bookmarking... The Serial podcast. I hear it's all the rage, but I'm waiting to tune in until Chris and I can listen together--gathered around the iPhone, 1930s-old-timey-radio style--which at this rate should be sometime in 2017.
Top TV shows
My friend Elizabeth recently posted about her top 10 TV shows and I thought, Hey, I like TV, I should do one of these too. So here we are, in chronological-ish order.
I Love Lucy
I was maybe five or so when I told my mom about a "new," hilarious TV show I'd discovered. It was right about then when I also discovered "reruns."
Seinfeld was maybe what turned me into a funny snob. To this day, if people say they don't like Seinfeld, I assume they have a terrible sense of humor because how do you not like Seinfeld? I watched this every Thursday night with my parents and maybe we cried a little when it was over.
Will & Grace
While most people were obsessively watching Friends during this time, I was a Will & Grace fan. This is a series that has held up, too. If I catch a rerun now, it's still as funny and on point as when it originally aired.
Sex and the City
My parents and I watched this every Sunday, and sometimes that was very awkward, but I feel like this show set the stage for all the great TV we have now on the premium channels; this sort of no rules television where you can say fuck because normal people in that situation would say fuck, so they should be able to say fuck and we should be able to see it on our TV. My favorite episode of the series is episode two of season four, when Carrie is a model. A cameo by Kevyn Aucoin, can you ask for more?
Friday Night Lights
Chris and I binge-watched FNL when we were both on leave when LG was first born. It will always hold a special place in my heart because of that, but I do sort of wonder if it would hold up for me now. As luck would have it, this is one of those shows that is not in reruns anywhere, so I guess all I have are my mem'ries.
Mad Men
I think the single greatest first episode of a TV show ever was the first episode of Mad Men. I'll be mourning its end next year. (Also, if you're not reading Entertainment Weekly's recaps on this show each week, you're missing out. They catch all the little nuances--what's on Don Draper's TV or what song was playing during a particular scene, what was going on historically that week--and they break down all the details Matthew Weiner wants us to see.)
Sons of Anarchy and Homeland
I'm lumping these together because Homeland is still pretty new and I was a little late to the game on SOA, so I feel like I can't really claim ownership of it like I can with other shows. Anyway, both these shows do big things that others are afraid to. They kill off characters when it makes sense, even if it devastates the audience. SOA is horribly violent and Homeland is a little terrifying in the sense that I'm sure a lot of it is very true to what goes on internationally right now, but both shows are very real, with real people who you can relate to, even if you're not in the CIA or a motorcycle club. (Kurt Sutter has said he puts a ton of work into vetting the storylines/details with actual members of MCs to make sure it's authentic.)
Breaking Bad
Okay, so we weren't hip to this show from the start, but we binge-watched all 62 episodes earlier this year, so I think you can say we committed in the end.
How I Met Your Mother
When it was good, it was really good (the Barney Stinson/Doogie Howser throwback scene was genius.) While I was happy with the series ending, I was not happy about the last season as a whole. Win some, lose some. Regardless, this is one of the few sitcoms I've gotten into in recent years, which is sad because I love sitcoms and most of them suck now.
Honorable Mentions (aka: Shows I Never Finished But Still Loved)
I did love this show, although it petered out for me around the time Joey and Rachel started dating. The gang's trip to Vegas remains some of the best episodes on television, however. "I found my hand twin!" ... "Oh you're so lucky."
Grey's Anatomy
I started watching this when it first premiered. I'd just moved to San Diego and here were people my age-ish, being adults that I could relate to (more my age/demographic than SATC or Friends.) I stopped watching during the writers' strike and never got back into it (I actually can't believe it's still on the air), but if I see a rerun, I'll watch it for fun and remember 2005 fondly.
The Sopranos
This was another one my parents and I watched religiously together. Then I moved out and didn't have cable and never finished the series (although I do know how it ends.) Maybe this is one Chris and I will need to rewatch from the beginning.
I feel like I missed so many shows that I should add to this list. I may need to do a part two. Anyway, What about you? What are your top TV shows?
Podcasts: An update
Since we last talked podcasts, I've expanded my listening a little bit and am giving a few new podcasts a shot, so I thought an update was in order.
I'm still listening to everything I mentioned the last time, so go there first for the first favorites. New favorites include:
Totally Married
About: I gave this an honorable mention last time because I'd only listened to one episode, but after listening every week for the last six+ months, I'd definitely say I enjoy it. The show centers around Elizabeth and Andy (married) answering listener questions. Giving unqualified advice is one of my most favorite things ever, so obviously I dig. Sometimes Chris and I listen together.
Length: One hour
Updates: Once a week, on Mondays
Totally Laime
About: Yup, I'm Totally obsessed with all these podcasts. This one features Elizabeth and Andy and a guest star, usually a comedian or actor with varying degrees of notoriety. It's always funny, they play games, I enjoy it a lot. Favorite episodes include Aisha Tyler, Regan Burns, Artemis Pebdani.
Length: One hour
Updates: Once a week, on Fridays
The Momo Show
About: I found this one through Totally Mommy because [actress] Morgan Walsh (one half of Momo) was a guest on TM. The other Mo is Mo Gaffney, who is also an actress and in a little movie called Drop Dead Gorgeous. I like this podcast because it's a little inside Hollywood without being INSIDE Hollywood, if that makes sense. Like, Morgan (husband Matt Walsh is on Veep) and Mo are working actors, they live in the valley, etc. They're not fancy-shmancy, but they often run with the fancy crowd. That seems not very complimentary, but I mean it complementary. It's like listening to a quirky friend who meets Julia Louis-Dreyfus and still acts like her quirky self and then reports back to you about the encounter. Recently Momo has been getting a little too political for my liking, but I'm willing to overlook that for now.
Length: About an hour
Updates: Typically once a week, but it hasn't updated in a few weeks because one of the Mos was off shooting a guest spot on a TV show.
Stuff I'm giving a shot:
Comedy Bang Bang
I'm 1 1/2 episodes in and I'm a little meh on it. There have been some LOL moments, but it's an hour and a half long that is a long time to basically have someone doing impressions when really all I want is to listen to the interview with the main guest. I'd rather just hear Horatio Sanz as a guest than hear Horatio Sanz doing Aaron Neville. Anyway, I'll give it one more episode.
The Moth, Risk
I know very little about either of these except a colleague of mine recommended them and she's cool.
This was recommended in my improv class last week. 'Nuf said.
Indoor Kids
I found this on some random "funniest podcasts ever" list and thought I'd check it out. It's co-hosted by Kumail Nanjiani who looks really familiar. Enough for me.
Totally Beverages (and Sometimes Hot Sauce)
About: Mostly beverages, occasionally hot sauce. Andy of the other Totally podcasts recently started this one and although it's so ridiculous, I have listened to the first two episodes, so...who's ridiculous now? Sometimes it can be kind of fun listening to people talk about the most seemingly-boring topics.
Length: An hour-ish
Updates: Once a week, I think on Wednesdays
Anything new and exciting you're listening to lately?
It's now October and everywhere else on the planet (okay, no) it's crisp and leafy and basic bitches are drinking PSLs and here it's 90 and yet it's so dark in the mornings, it gives the illusion that it might be crisp and cool and no. And even though I hate the time change, it's also like, at least then I'll wake up to it being a little light outside. Better than the only light I've been seeing in the mornings, a sliver from the hallway as I wake up to a little person saying, "Mommy. I pooped," at 5:57am. GOOD MORNING.
I start an improv class tonight. It hit me last week that I needed to take an improv class and so I went online and found one and tonight's the first class. I am excited (EVERYONE WATCH ME PERFORM!) and also nervous (SHIT WHAT IF I'M NOT FUNNY ON THE SPOT?), but mostly I'm like, Do I need to bring a pen and notebook? I haven't take "a class" since December 2004. I am not sure how this works anymore.
LG is going as Doc McStuffins for Halloween. The costume is kind of dumb (lots of tulle and sparkles that get all over the place), but it comes with a stethoscope and it was $15 at Costco, so whatever. LG kept saying she wanted to be Cinderella, but there were no Cinderella costumes at Costco and so she's Doc. (She told me, "I'm gonna be Cinderella for Halloween!" and I said, "How about Doc McStuffins?" and she said, "I'm gonna be Doc McStuffins for Halloween!" She's pretty amenable.)
We'll head to the pumpkin patch (called Bobby Dazzler's because WHY NOT) in a couple weeks and then maybe carve a pumpkin and our town does a trick-or-treating thing downtown on Halloween, which should be fun. Bonus points is that Halloween is on a Friday, so when trick-or-treating ends, we can go for pizza and cocktails.
Holidays now are getting to be really exciting for all of us, as compared to two/three years ago, when they were more of an annoying task (who wants to drag a baby to a pumpkin patch? And then who wants to drag a screaming toddler around a pumpkin patch?) Now LG gets the idea of Halloween and is excited and knows it's happening soon, even though "soon" means "tomorrow" and every day Chris has to be like, "I called the Halloween guy and they said you have to wait a little bit longer!" Blame it on the Halloween guy, why not.
Speaking of holidays, we're going to Seattle for Thanksgiving, which we've never done. I am very excited. I am excited to see family and all that jazz, sure, but I am also excited I don't have to cook and I can go on long runs alone along the Puget Sound. PRETTY excited about that.
I've been doing Priscilla's Yoga Stretches on PBS the past two mornings. September was a pitiful workout month for me (27 miles, 9 workout days, woof), so I'm making a concerted effort in October. Since I don't have a standing desk (PIPE DREAM), and my back continues to hurt if I sit too long, I thought I'd give Priscilla a try. My local PBS does two 15-minute shows at 6am, and while it's not like a vinyasa flow, the poses are surprisingly difficult. I think this is due in part to the fact that Priscilla possibly lived a past life as a drill sergeant. In a unitard.
That's all I got. What's new with you all?
3Q14 books
I really thought I'd blow it out of the water this quarter and read a ton of books, but alas, I read three. I'm hoping for a solid fourth quarter to round out the year and finish with a bang. We'll see.
Here's what I read this month:
12th Of Never, by James Patterson
This is your typical Jimmy P. I don't have anything to say about it except that you can rip my James Pattersons from my cold dead hands.
Mr. Maybe, by Jane Green
This started out pretty solid, in a cute Bridget Jones's Diary kind of way, but then the main character just pulled some stupid BS and I spent the last half rage-reading. I am all for the flighty single gal in the city kind of book, but I need a little self-awareness from my main character. Just a smidge.
The Interestings, by Meg Wolitzer
This books starts out with a group of six teenagers who meet one summer at an arts camp. From their first meeting, the story jumps forward about 40 years, where we get a glimpse into where they are now, and then we spend the rest of time filling in the blanks for each person—how they got where they are in life, who they married, etc. I really liked the writing (it reminded me of Prep, by Curtis Sittenfeld), but there's basically no plot at all. I don't really have a problem with that, if the writing is good, which it was in this book. HOWEVER, the mainest of the main characters never seemed to grow up, which, as she got to be 30, 40, etc., reaaaaaally started to wear on me. I just don't find it endearing when a grown-ass lady acts like a teenager. Still, I would recommend, just be prepared to sum it up thusly: It's…interesting.
What are you reading? Anything good? I keep starting books only to have to return them to the library because I haven't read quickly enough. It's very effective.
School lunches
'Tis the season everyone posting pictures of their kids' lunches (is this what the Internet is now? Not even what I had for lunch, but what my kid had? It would be sad if I didn't enjoy it.)
We try to pack LG a lunch similar to what she'd eat at home, but have learned that some things don't translate. Crab tacos, for example, LG will eat at home, but won't eat at school, which was fun to find out when we picked her up and noticed leaked crab juice all over her lunch bag. (THANKS FOR NOT JUST THROWING THAT AWAY, TEACHERS.)
Because I refuse to buy kid-specific food, we're at the mercy of what we have in the fridge at any given time.
Here are some favorites:
Sandwiches (if we have lunch meat; if we don't, we'll cook up an egg and voila: egg sandwich)
Tortilla roll-ups (if we have lunch meat; cream cheese is also a plus if we've got that)
Cold eggs (hard-boiled eggs)
Carrot sticks
Pasta (with or without sauce)
Rice (better at school than at home, where I have to clean up the mess)
Beans (just plain old beans, any kind)
And here are some things we've tried that do not work:
Crab tacos!
Any kind of seafood, actually
Anything resembling salad
While LG is pretty into vegetables at home, she won't eat a ton of veggies at school, minus the carrot sticks. Sometimes I can talk her into a snap pea or a green bean, but it depends on her mood. And of course not a week goes by that one of us doesn't say, "Let's just make her a peanut butter and je---UGH NEVER MIND."
I'm always looking for new ideas---what do your kids take for lunch?
Please, have a seat and look at slides of my summer vacation(s), Part IV
This is the last installment of look at all the places I went this summer. We took an impromptu trip to Santa Cruz a few weeks ago. Neither of us are very big beach people, but we wanted to beat the heat and the best place to do that is at the coast. The trip can be summed up such: Eat, drink, read magazines, eat some more, drink some more, play in the pool, go home. It was a good trip.
I once had a bloody mary with to-order filet mignon as a garnish. It's kind of hard to beat that. Oh, you put a green bean in your bloody mary? A hunk of beef jerky? MEH. This bacon-wrapped prawn, though, was tops.
And then we all went to bed at 9pm watching 20/20. We really know how to vacation.
Things I don't have time for
My hair
I can't be bothered to do my hair most days. On wash days, I let it air-dry and embrace the wavy or put it in a bun or a braid or a braid-bun. On non-wash days I bust out my hot rollers from ye olde days of yore. On special occasions (job interviews, etc.) I might be compelled to use the flat iron, but usually? NOTHANKS. I do think, though, that most people are either hair people or makeup people. I am a makeup person. It's not like I won't go out without makeup on, but I much prefer makeup to hair. If my face is made-up, is anyone really noticing the hair? No.
Anything on Bravo that's not Real Housewives
Now, I have been known to watch some Million Dollar Listing LA or some Princesses: Long Island (really just Housewives-In-Training, when you think about it), but by and large, ain't nobody got time for the Singles Project or Jersey Belle or any of that shit. (I have heard that Game of Crowns was amazing, but alas, I didn't watch it.)
Tweezing my eyebrows
Are we sensing a theme here with the hair avoidance? But you know, I went through a long period of obsessively over-tweezing my eyebrows and now that that's broken, it's like, I don't have time to go get them waxed on the regular and no one is that close to my face to ever notice an errant eyebrow hair, so FUCK IT. (I still keep up with the unibrow situation because PLEASE.)
Washing my yoga mat
I have had my yoga mat for over 10 years and I've washed it once. Have you ever washed a yoga mat? It's a pain in the ass. Plus, I feel like if I am just getting it gross each time I use it and then going home and taking a shower, what's the point? It's all my own filth. Meh. (I guess I could also add to the Things I Don't Have Time For list: Buy a new yoga mat. Ten years is a long time, but at this point I'm kind of attached to it.)
What do you not have time for?
Please, have a seat and look at slides of my summer vacation(s), Part III
My aunt and grandma coordinated some professional pictures to be taken of the entire family when we were in Hawaii in May/Jun. Here are a few favorites (I would like every picture of me ever to be Photoshopped, please and thank you.)
More here.
If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything
All summer I've struggled with finding the time to workout. This happens to me once a year and always for a different reason--odd work schedules, the weather, what have you--and I've just come to accept it at this point. I remember this happening when I went back to work after LG; daylight savings time had ended, so it was getting dark earlier and I just couldn't make working out work with my schedule. I know I wrote a blog post about it and maybe I mentioned in that post, but around that time, I was talking Holly, all, "Will I ever workout again?", etc. and Holly was like, this is just the season your life is in right now, so don't stress about it, things will change and you'll be in a new season. Ebb, flow, etc. And guess what? She was right. The season did change and I actually ran a half marathon a year later, so I'd say I found the time to workout.
This summer, though. July was a particularly pitiful month for me, workout-wise. I think I worked out maybe 10 times, total. I logged about 20 miles, which is, again, pitiful. The good news is that I mostly didn't workout because I was off doing fun things, like going to Vegas and stuff, so it's not like it was all business. Still, being one of those obnoxious people who needs to workout to be happy, that did not make me super happy. Also, I sit for a good portion of my day and if I sit too long, I get a literal pain in my ass and walking around helps with that. So, I decided that August would be better. I would workout "more." Ultimately, I worked out 20 days and logged 45 miles. I didn't break any records, but it felt nice to decide to do something and then make it happen. Hot weather and busy schedules be dammed.
The point is, if you decide to do something, you can do it. But the point is also to enjoy your life where it is right now because shit changes all the time. Babies are only babies for a second and your friend only turns 30 once, so have fun and try harder next month. Enjoy the season you're in right now.
Speaking of which, September is notoriously the hottest month of the year in California and our A/C is broken, so while the rest of the nation is off enjoying their seasons, I'll be over here sweating ballz.

The Denver Broncos have an excellent group of pass-catchers in Demaryius Thomas, Wes Welker, Eric Decker, and Julius Thomas, and it's among the best group of weapons in NFL history. And even though the other three players are terrific in their own right, Demaryius Thomas is clearly the best and most dangerous receiver on the Denver Broncos. His ability to do it all as a receiver has to be highlighted, because he can line up anywhere on the field and either stretch the field or move the chains. He's a weapon and elite receiver in every sense, and he certainly had an elite game against the San Diego Chargers.
The struggles of the Chargers secondary, especially surprising free agent bust Derek Cox, have been well-documented in this space throughout the season, and Thomas took advantage of their inability to stop him. He produced huge numbers with seven receptions for 108 yards and a whopping three receiving touchdowns, which means that fantasy owners received 28 points from Thomas.
Before yesterday's game, we highlighted Thomas's league-leading yards after the catch as something to watch for, and he showcased his explosive ability after the catch on a 34-yard touchdown reception. It came on a screen play, and it was reminiscent of the screen pass TD he caught in the opener. Like in Week 1, Thomas turned on the jets and just exploded past the defense for six points; it's always awesome to watch a guy with Thomas's speed go to work.
Demaryius Thomas was targeted ten times in total, so he averaged 10.8 yards per attempt, caught 70% of everything thrown at him, and he also managed to average 15.4 yards per reception (his two other TD receptions were excellent red zone TDs that showcased Thomas's ability to thrive in possession-receiver-type situations).

Presidents in Berlin
Berlin has set the scene for some of the most memorable speeches delivered by U.S. Presidents in the modern era. Today, President Obama speaks at the Brandenburg Gate during his first state visit to the German capitol.
President Obama's speech occurs 50 years to the month after JFK famously declared his solidarity with the people of Berlin. In June of 1987, Ronald Reagan stood at the Brandenburg Gate on the west side of the Berlin Wall and implored, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
President Kennedy addresses the people of Berlin. Rudolph Wilde Platz, West Berlin, Federal Republic of Germany. 6/26/63.

"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
President Ronald Reagan delivered these famous lines at Brandenburg Gate in West Berlin, Germany on June 12, 1987.

The Fall of The Berlin Wall
"I've just arrived from Berlin. It is like witnessing an enormous fair. It has the atmosphere of a festival. The frontiers are absolutely open. At certain points they are literally taking down the wall and building new checkpoints. At Checkpoint Charlie, thousands of poeple are crossing both ways."
-Chancellor Helmut Kohl of Germany on the phone to President George Bush
On November 9, 1989, the East German government announces that border crossings into Western Europe will once again be allowed. Unexpectedly, checkpoint guards open the gates allowing crowds from both sides of the divided city to celebrate together.
The images of happy people from East and West embracing and celebrating around the Berlin Wall still resonate as the moment of German Unity. In fact, the fall of the wall raised more questions about German unity than answers. No one knew whether West Germany's allies and protectors would allow a reunited and fully sovereign Germany or whether the Soviet Union would tolerate a united Germany in NATO. The task of integrating East Germany's command economy with West Germany's social market system was fraught with challenges.
Despite the uncertainty, the unification process was worked out in the next year, and East and West Germany officially became one on October 3, 1990.
These images show the west-side of the Berlin Wall, circa 1988.

Matchup: Dolphins at Jets
1 p.m. ET, Sunday at MetLife Stadium
Published: Oct 25, 2012
» Get updates via Sportsmail
Each week Fantasy Source experts break down the matchups for NFL games from a fantasy perspective. Our tiered star ratings tell you how strongly we feel about each player's chances for a breakout performance. We analyze players based on how well their opponent defends that position and other factors such as statistical trends, playing-time potential and the talent level of the players and the teams involved.
4-Star Players
Reggie Bush, RB, Dolphins. Go back to those halcyon days of 2010 and tell some Saints fans that Bush would be a reliable, if unspectacular, between-the-tackles runner who doesn't catch passes at an unusual rate. Heads would have exploded. But that's what the Dolphins have now, and we need to think of Bush that way, as a solid RB2. Though the Jets haven't given up many touchdowns to running backs, Bush has to start because Gang Green is giving up the fifth-most rushing yards per game this year.
Dustin Keller, TE, Jets. Keller needed two games to get back into the swing of things after returning from injury, but we're comfortable proclaiming him the Jets' best receiver after his seven-catch, 93-yard performance against the Patriots. While the Dolphins have been one of the league's best defenses against the run, they've been mediocre against the pass, so this week, even with Mark Sanchez under center, Keller is a top play and should probably start in every league.
3-Star Players
Dolphins defense/special teams. As noted above, the Dolphins have a top run defense. In fact, they've given up the fewest yards per rush in the league. That's terrible news for a Jets team still heavily reliant on its run game to set up its pass game. But the Dolphins aren't getting a better projection because they're on the road, and because that much-maligned Jets pass game has shown signs of life against a couple good defenses -- the Texans and Patriots -- in recent weeks.
Shonn Greene, RB, Jets. Woe to owners expecting much production from Greene this week. Not only have the Dolphins given up the fewest rushing yards per attempt this year, but they've also given up only two rushing touchdowns.
Jeremy Kerley, WR, Jets. Just through attrition, Kerley has become the Jets' top wideout, which makes him well worth a look as a WR3, or even a WR2 in deeper leagues. Even against the Dolphins, we don't expect the Jets to give up on their run game, even if they fail to make much progress early on. That limits Kerley's upside, but if he's going to continue getting up to 11 targets, as he's gotten the past few games, he's worth starting against most opponents.
Jets defense/special teams. In sum, the Jets' defense has been a borderline fantasy starter through seven games. Going up against the Dolphins doesn't present any special challenge -- Bush is hardly an elite back, Ryan Tannehill and the pass-catchers aren't exactly headed for the Pro Bowl -- but it won't be a picnic, either. That the Dolphins' offense has no superstars is counterweighted by its lack of obvious weakness.
2-Star Players
Brian Hartline, WR, Dolphins. Hartline is lucky Darelle Revis is out for the season, otherwise he might be stuck out on Revis Island all game. Instead, he gets to face Antonio Cromartie and Kyle Wilson. While that's a much better matchup, remember that Hartline is still Hartline. Aside from one monster game in Week 4, he has been hit-or-miss as a fantasy receiver, good enough to be worth keeping on a roster, but not good enough to seriously push for WR3 status every week.
Davone Bess, WR, Dolphins. In points-per-reception leagues, you could do a lot worse than settling on Bess as your WR3. The Jets' secondary may be hobbled, but Bess simply doesn't have the skill set to take advantage. He'll probably settle for his standard five catches for 40 yards.
Stephen Hill, WR, Jets. Hill may be still suffering from the lingering effects of a hamstring injury that kept him out of two games, as he simply hasn't been the big-play receiver the Jets need to stretch the field. He has the talent to make trouble for a team like the Dolphins, but until he actually does it on a more consistent basis, we're advising you to stay away.
Nick Folk, K, Jets. Folk hasn't missed a field-goal attempt this year, but almost everyone's expecting this one to be a defensive struggle. He's unlikely to have many opportunities to score.
1-Star Players
Ryan Tannehill, QB, Dolphins. Tannehill has alternated excellent fantasy production with awful production. One of those awful games was in the Dolphins' first game against the Jets, when he completed only 16 of 36 passes, with no touchdowns and an interception. There are likely more reliable quarterbacks on the waiver wire who will be safer options as a bye-week fill-in.
Marlon Moore, WR, Dolphins. With three catches last week, Moore may be intriguing to owners desperate for receiving help. Resist! He's still well behind Hartline, Bess, Bush, and perhaps even Anthony Fasano in Miami's passing game.
Anthony Fasano, TE, Dolphins. Fasano's actually ahead of his usual pace for receptions, but he still doesn't have enough catches, or yardage, to warrant owning in most leagues.
Dan Carpenter, K, Dolphins. Miami's in the bottom half of the league in scoring, and Carpenter has made only seven of 11 field-goal attempts. He might be the worst starting kicker in the NFL.
Mark Sanchez, QB, Jets. The Jets don't have offensive weapons to help Sanchez, who has never been all that great a quarterback, anyway. At this point, owners are probably better off speculating on rookie quarterbacks and the gunslinger types that may be available on their waiver wires.
Chaz Schilens, WR, Jets. With Hill's return, Schilens is the odd man out. He'll only make an impact if Hill or Kerley misses time.

President Park begins week-long Central Asia tourUpdated: 2014-06-16 20:11:32 KST
President Park has started her tour of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan this week.
In Tashkent, the Korean president and her Uzbek counterpart will seek ways to bolster their strategic partnership.
There are currently some eight billion U.S. dollars worth of joint projects underway, such as a gas field development and chemical complex construction, and Seoul hopes to go beyond into areas of renewable energy and textiles.
President Park, who has proposed an initiative that would link energy and infrastructure in Eurasia, will also visit Samarkand, a city that was at the heart of the Silk Road.
In Astana, the Korean leader and her Kazak counterpart will discuss current projects worth roughly 10 billion dollars, including construction of a thermal plant and petrochemical complex.
Seoul will sign a deal to participate in Astana's rail development, with hopes it will lay the groundwork for President Park's Eurasia Initiative.
There will be talks on the North Korea nuclear issue, since Kazakhstan achieved significant growth after voluntarily giving up its nuclear arms.
President Park will be visiting Turkmenistan for the first time as a Korean leader, where she plans to ask the country to support Korean firms seeking to participate in large-scale infrastructure projects in the gas-rich nation.
"After President Park landed in the Uzbek capital several hours ago, President Islam Karimov escorted her to where she'll be staying for the next three days. Before the two leaders' summit on Tuesday, President Park will meet with Koreans, as well as ethnic Koreans residing here, to pledge her support for active cultural exchanges with the region.
Choi You-sun, Arirang News, Tashkent."

Arc welding control
Not available
moreAdvances in science and technology have transformed the welding industry in recent years, with new developments in arc welding at the forefront. Arc welding control details Professor Pan Jiluan's remarkable achievements in this area using innovative methods which have given outstanding results and which have not been described in any previous publication. Arc welding control covers all aspects of the technology. Part 1 quantitatively describes the dynamic behaviour of arc welding, the power sources used and their effect on welding technology through the basis of control theory. Part 2 then describes new ways of controlling the welding arc through modern electronics. Part 3 establishes the first mathematical model of the arc sensor on the basis of control theory and Part 4 describes a new method for measuring weldment temperature fields using the colorimetric-imaging method. Part 5 describes the idea of recognizing weld grooves with a three-dimensional vision system and automatic programming of the weld path. This comprehensive and authoritative treatment of the arc welding process and its control will make Arc welding control the essential resource for all welding engineers looking to use the technique to its maximum effectiveness. less

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This is a great school! I will definitely send my son here next year! I was only wondering if there is bus service from this school to Kenner. If so how long does it take and what route does the bus take - Huey Long or downtown, since this will add to the travel time. If any current parents have any experience with this please let me know. I really appreciate it! A parent
Patrick Taylor has a great student:teacher ratio and the teachers are top-notch. My child is challenged and LOVES school! The new facility is amazing.
Patrick Taylor has a well rounded curriculum with enthusiastic faculty, staff, and student body. The school has a successful and purpose driven mission to educate students and expose them to the most current technological resources, both in and outside of the classroom. Faculty members consistently work at continuing their own educations, which prepares them and the students for the future. Faculty members are also committed to seeking funding and educational experiences from outside sources to expose the students to a variety of subjects to help them select their future careers. I am very glad that we chose this school for our child.
PFTSTA is an outstanding school! It has all the tools in place to enable a child to be successful in the growing technological workplace - strong academic curriculum focused on bringing out the best in each student, adequate resources to test each child's capabilities, and faculty that posess the desire to educate and grow each student beyond what any parent/guardian could ever expect. The school fosters an enriching learning environment and has each child's interest at the forefront. With state of the art facilities and teaching labs, my child certainly has the best of what this area has to offer at their fingertips.
Patrick Taylor has provided many opportunities for my son to connect with different colleges. The school has provided him with an excellent education and prepared him for college and independency as a young man. The faculty and staff do more than just teach and work at school. They go above and beyond for each student to excel in their own way. The project based learning is fundamental in preparing for everyday living after high school and during future careers. I'm so happy that my son is a Taylor Tiger and I am a proud Taylor Parent.
I am really impressed with Patrick F. Taylor Science & Technology Academy. The faculty and staff really care about the children and what they accomplish. It's a very challenging school but the kids definitely come away better for the experience.
Patrick Taylor is innovative, motivating and on the cutting edge of Science, Technology, Engineering, Math. It's leadership and opportunities are there for all students to embrace. Parent involvement has grown our Co-op to over 500 members. Our staff, teacher and most of all Mrs. Zapico (principal) is readily available for everyone. Our children are getting the best education the state of Louisiana has to offer. Our children are quality, prime-rib, the best of the best. We are a public school so funding can be challenging, but I can guarantee this will be your best donation, wisely spent.
We love everything about this school. My child is getting a great education in a wonderful environment. My younger child is looking forward to going to this school in 2 years.
This is a first class public school! I had one son graduate in the first graduating class in 2009 and another son is in 10th grade. The opportunities that are available to the students you cannot get at any other public school. The small school size and the wonderful teachers enhance the educational experience you receive while enrolled at this wonderful school. I cannot brag enough about it!
My daughter started at Patrick Taylor this year. She loves the school. The principal and teachers are all very involved with the students. You can tell the teachers are there to teach and help the students not to earn a paycheck. They also have a program where the seniors have a sixth grade buddy. My daughter loves getting to spend time with her senior. She lives her teachers and the fact that they make learning fun. She feels this is the best choice for her. She wanted to move back to where we used to live when she was young for her junior and senior year to go to the college she wants to go to without having to pay out of state tuition now she says she's not leaving her school she loves it so much.
My son started at PFTSTA this year in the ninth grade. We are really impressed by the campus and teachers that we have met. My son is very happy and says it has been a great choice. I am surprised at the difficulty level of homework , but he seems to have no trouble with his homework. I attribute this to good teachers and an environment conductive to learning. We are very happy with our choice of PFTSTA and feel that out son is getting an excellent education. I went to the co-op meeting and was thrilled to see the number of parents at the meeting.
PFTSTA is an excellent school, providing a rigorous curriculum for grades 6-12. Our son is currently a 6th grader at this school, and we love that his teachers strike the right balance for sixth graders making the difficult transition from grade school to middle school. At the same time, they are preparing the students for the years ahead in high school. There are a large number of AP classes available for high school students, and students learn about technology starting in the sixth grade with a class that not only teaches them computer skills, but also safety. As a small school, it feels like family, with small class sizes and involved parents. We are thrilled with the academic rigor that is balanced with a real concern for the students as individuals.
What an amazing school! The teachers and adminstration are first rate. I have a son who graduation from the school two years ago and a daughter who is currently a junior. They have each received a top notch education. The social issues that are prevalent at other public high schools do not exist at this school - bullying, alcohol and drug abuse, etc. The children feel safe, valued and appreciated. They are now in a state of the art facility. This school is a crown jewel in Jefferson Parish.
Our daughter has been a student here for just over a year now. We couldn't be happier. The staff truly cares about the students and their success to a level I have never before experienced. Everyone - students and staff alike - is here because they *want* to be here, not because they have to be. Ms. Zapico has done a wonderful job of fostering an environment where all students are welcomed and encouraged. I would urge anyone looking for an advanced studies academy in the area to take a long, hard look at PFTSTA - it's been an incredible opportunity for our daughter! And an incredible opportunity for us, as a family, to be fully involved and invested in our child's education.
My daughter started her this year in sixth grade, it has been an easy transition to the middle school atmosphere. The school's new campus is complimented by a very caring and dedicated staff. The school is an excellent choice for advanced academic curriculum. I am truly gratefull my daughter has the opportunity to part of something so well put together.
It has been exciting to see this wonderful school grow into such an amazing place for young people with a proficiency in math and science. The new facility is amazing! Graduates from this school earn many scholarships and are more than prepared for college!
My son can enjoy being smart here and feel in like company. The teachers challenge the kids to aspire to fulfilling careers by not only getting them well primed for college but meshing advanced education with the life skills of cooperative teamwork and public speaking. The beautiful new campus clearly reflects this school's mission to have it's students "armed and ready" for their promising futures.
Small enrollment results in a close-knit community of students and faculty. My son is getting a top-notch education, already learning basic engineering principles in 7th grade! There is great pride in the school, an emphasis on community service, and many opportunities for extra-curricular involvement. I am proud that my child is a Taylor Tiger!
This school only caters to one type of student. Unfortunately, if you're not that type, you'll have trouble succeeding at PFTSTA. As a student, I felt that I wasn't allowed to be just that -- a student. In the 7th grade they expected us to be adults and treated us like we were dumb if we showed any sort of a childlike personality. The teachers and administrators were not open to every type of person. My faith was constantly being tested and I actually had a faculty member get very angry at my mother and I because I was too shy. There are a ton of students and parents who love this school and I'm sure it opens up many doors academically. But please keep in mind that schools are about more than just academics.

action games and heroes games
With a number of action games and heroes games being introduced into the gaming community, there have been a plethora of avenues for entertainment that never once were thought would be possible. Today, with the efforts of the World Wide Web, there has been a wide scope for entertainment that caters to children between the ages of 3 and above. Kids today can play online action and heroes games which puts them into the shoes of their favorite action characters. They can battle aliens or take over the world as they desire.
Studies have shown that action and heroes games offer kids with a platform to test their creativity. However, there are a few games that are of a specific genre that parents and guardians may not approve of. This is where parental support comes in and assists in helping standardizing these action games as and how the parent feels.
There are a number of platforms in the online world that offer action games and heroes games for kids to play. What needs to be understood is that these games require a broadband connection to play. Without a broadband connection, children will not be able to play their favored heroes games. As mentioned earlier, there are a number of platforms to play these games and hence gamers should understand which portals they should opt for. There have been cases where along with streaming of these action games, malware and viruses have been downloaded simultaneously. Hence it is imperative that individuals find authenticated sites from where they can play online heroes games.
David is a game site owner and huge fan of free online games. David established his site with the vision of sharing free online games for kids around the world. Joya games offer a platform for people to develop their thinking and reasoning skills to grow mentally.

Lies, damned lies, and statistics
Wouldn't you know it. I was rousted from my fall blogging slumber by the lie machine that is Fox News.
"Hold on, just a minute there, young man," you say, astutely judging both my gender and general age range. "Just because you're a liberal-commie-pinko-MSNBC-watchin'-athiest doesn't mean you have to constantly degrade the fine people who are fighting the good fight over there at Fox News."
To that, I say it's time for a little lesson on how exactly Fox News spins their web of biased deceit.
Just this past week, Fox News used this chart in their newscast. I would imagine it raised the ire of many a Fox News viewer.
"That's what I'm talking about," you declare. "Look at it. That's exactly what's wrong with this damned country, right there in one chart! Why, it makes me want to go out and buy more gold from that nice Glenn Beck fella! Our Founding Fathers didn't storm Normandy Beach in order to sign the Constitution just so a bunch of lazy, shifty welfare blood-suckers could take all the hard-earned money from those of us with our noses to the grindstone!"
But here's the problem. When you deal primarily in rage and hate, you soon lose the ability to reason and to look at things with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Lie #1 — Scale
At first glance, it looks like there is a huge difference between those two bars. But look at how short the 101.7 million bar is. Now look at what a big difference an extra 7 million makes on the other bar. Yeah, out here in the real world, those numbers really aren't very far apart at all.
Lie #2 — Source
Admittedly, to judge the source, you have to know something about how the census bureau collects data. As Media Matters points out, that 108.6 million figure is from participation in means-tested programs. That means it includes everyone in a household in which one or more people receive government benefits. Thus, if there are 5 people in your household and 1 gets benefits, all five of you would go into that 108.6 million figure, even if four of you have full-time jobs. Conversely (and conveniently for Fox's bias), the "people with a full-time job" figure only includes individuals with a job. Thus, if a household of five people is supported by one person with a job, only the one person is counted in the 101.7 figure.
Plus, many of those counted in the welfare number are children (as much as half), the disabled, or the elderly — people whom we wouldn't expect to be holding down a full-time job. But Fox News sure expects that. Moochers.
Lie #3 — Non-exclusiveness
These are not mutually exclusive groups, as the graph would suggest. There are plenty of people– more and more these days — who work full-time, minimum-wage jobs at McDonald's or WalMart or Taco Bell who also depend on assistance such as food stamps, rent assistance, or other forms of aid.
The people at Fox News are many things, but stupid is not among them. They know all these things. But they really don't care if a graph can help them to stigmatize poor people and gin up support for gutting the safety net.
And while they are welcome to their political bent and opinions, the big problem here is that this kind of thing is passed off as hard news, fact, truth, fair and balanced. When it's not. It's not even close.
Of course, this type of post is probably just a waste of time. For most of you, I'm just preaching to the choir and saying things you already know. For others of you, I'm just taking pot shots at people who are doing God's work. This was just one instance. Why get worked up about it?
Only Fox can survey 120% of the American public. No wonder they thought Romney won the election.
Here's one telling you how much Obama has raised the price of gas.
"Damn that Obama!" Of course, they are hoping you don't notice that the time period between Last Year and Last Week is equal to the time between Last Week and Current. But what is not so easy to see is what happened in between those points. Here is the same data as plotted on the green line by AAA, the source.
That's totally the same thing, right?
People used to depend on the news to tell the truth and put things into a proper context. Now, we really just want the news to tell us what we want to hear and to blame those we want to blame.
Thus, I say, our country's dysfunction and polarization is not entirely Congress' fault. In fact, here's the result of my study…
Numbers iz hard.

When people look for causes of the gridlock in DC, you can trace to root straight to talk radio and Fox "News." They are playing a game in which they want to support big business conservatives, and present their "news" only in ways that support their goal.
They are not bound by journalisic principles, but by a Machiavellian, "anything goes" method meant to get people to believe things that aren't true in order for them to vote against their own interests. Unfortunately, because Americans have become so poor at critical thinking and analysis, it's not much of a challenge for them.
These graphs illustrate the lengths that outlets like Fox "News" will go to promote their agenda.
Naturally workshops might be agreed on the cause of several time schedules along with writers can choose the suitable period according to the utility. You should aim for writing containing substance; a rounded, healthy thing having a life of its very own.

Daily Strength for Daily Needs - October 29
October 29
Behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.--ISA. xlviii. 10.
Be patient, suffering soul! I hear thy cry.
The trial fires may glow, but I am nigh.
I see the silver, and I will refine
Until My image shall upon it shine.
Fear not, for I am near, thy help to be;
Greater than all thy pain, My love for thee.
God takes a thousand times more pains with us than the artist with his picture, by many touches of sorrow, and by many colors of circumstance, to bring man into the form which is the highest and noblest in His sight, if only we received His gifts and myrrh in the right spirit. But when the cup is put away, and these feelings are stifled or unheeded, a greater injury is done to the soul than can ever be amended. For no heart can conceive in what surpassing love God giveth us this myrrh; yet this which we ought to receive to our soul's good, we suffer to pass by us in our sleepy indifference, and nothing comes, of it. Then we come and complain: "Alas, Lord! I am so dry, and it is so dark within me!" I tell thee, dear child, open thy heart to the pain, and it will do thee more good than if thou wert full of feeling and devoutness.
