Obesity & blame: Eroding personal responsibility
"Thus far mutations in about eight genes are known to cause obesity in humans," Time magazine quoted Dr. Joseph Majzoub, chief of endocrinology at Boston Children's Hospital and the author of one of the studies, as saying. "But these mutations account for under five percent of the obesity in our society, and certainly are not, by themselves, responsible for the current obesity epidemic. ..."

Geosprawl is a premier cloud-based, software-as-a-service, locator system. This is a well-established system ideal for small and medium sized businesses to provide locator functionality to their web site. Our clients are businesses who need either a store locator, dealer locator, or product-finder embedded within their existing company web site. It provides mapping and driving directions using either Google or MapQuest maps with many configurable search options such as Radius Search Filter options and Custom Fields.
Geosprawl is an on-demand, subscription based service wherein a company/client can signup for the service, select their pricing plan according to the number of locations that need to be stored in the system, and enter billing information (monthly recurring fee will be charged to a credit card). Geosprawl is a recurring revenue model that builds on itself month after month.
Signup 1 new client every day for an average of $50/month. After only 1 month you will be making $1,500.00 from just these clients (30 days x $50).
After 365 days (1 year), that would mean 365 clients paying an average of $50/month = $18,250/month ($219,000.00/year)!
This is a business that grows on itself every month as more clients begin using Geosprawl on their web sites to provide locator and mapping functionality to their web site visitors in order to direct them to their closest store locations. When clients signup to begin using the service, they typically will use it for 2 to 3 years at a minimum or until the next time they decide to redesign their business web site. So clients will stay using the product for quite a while after signing up and getting it integrated.
Geosprawl has many bells and whistles as well as roughly 80 businesses paying a monthly recurring subscription fee for using the service to provide locator functionality to their web sites. Geosprawl is very low maintenance and runs on the common ASP.Net platform. The best part about the Geosprawl system is it has a very short sales cycle and most of our customers we never even have to correspond with. Most of our customers search for a locator system on google using keywords such as "Store Locator Software", our Ad pops up, they come to our website at www.geosprawl.com, select a Pricing Plan, and then signup for our service. When they've finished entering all their location data into our system, they set their search options and then copy/paste an auto-generated script into their existing business web site. Then, immediately, they have a store locator system running within their web site which helps direct their web site users to a store, dealer, or place where their product can be found! Geosprawl can easily be incorporated within minutes by novice users and the best part about the Geosprawl system is that it is monthly recurring revenue. Source Code & Module for DotNetNuke Marketplace is also included! Due to time constraints, my partner and I are unable to market or perform sales. The product has extremely high potential as well as you can offer Professional Services to clients who need assistance loading all their location data into the Geosprawl database or even performing design/integration work with the client's business web site so that the Geosprawl script runs seamlessly and serves up the functionality right within the client's existing business web site.
This product is ready for success and needs a sales and/or marketing person or team to help it take off. Ideally a business or person who has the capabilities to follow up with leads and with customers, and to perform up-sell functions such as charging customers for custom design and integration work, or even perform customizations for clients wishing to use the locator a little differently when integrating it with their business web site.

Drug conspiracy trial begins for former Manchester school art teacher
In his opening argument, Assistant County Attorney Michael Zaino said Tagalakis Fedor may not have signed paperwork formalizing a conspiracy to sell drugs, primarily heroin, out of her Sagamore Street residence, but he promised to present evidence from which jurors could infer an agreement.
Zaino said there are eight elements that make up the conspiracy amongst Tagalakis Fedor, Doane, White and others known and unknown. Among the elements: Doane packaged heroin and sold it out of the residence; Doane purchased a stolen gun for protection; White bought ammunition for the gun; and Doane carried that gun with him when he sold heroin.
Zaino said the prosecution only has to prove one of those elements and Tagalakis Fedor doesn't have to know of the overt act to be guilty of conspiracy.
Prieto said Tagalakis Fedor went voluntarily to the police station and spoke with police, twice.
He said the police will testify that Tagalakis Fedor confessed, but, despite having cameras and microphones built into interview rooms at the new police station on Valley Street, nobody recorded the interviews.
The cameras and microphones are controlled by a single switch, he said. "No one hit that switch," said Prieto. Why not? Prieto said the response from the detective in charge was: "I don't know."
Prieto said White told police the drugs they found during a search of the residence were his and he told police: "Lisa knew nothing about those drugs."
As for explicit or implicit agreements about drug sales, the defense attorney said: "There are none."
The trial resumes Wednesday morning in Hillsborough County Superior Court North.

PAX 2014: Final Fantasy Type-0 HD is 80% done
August 30, 2014
Hajime Tabata showed off Final Fantasy Type-0 at PAX Prime 2014. While talking with IGN he discloses that the game is about 80% done. This could mean that we will be seeing a 2015 release for PS4 and Xbox One unless there are any setbacks.
The gameplay/battle system is also described in the IGN article. While the system isn't much different than the PSP version, it sounds like it is faster than its portable counterpart. Perhaps this speed difference is due to the higher framerate, as well as having more buttons/analog sticks on the gamepad (allowing for faster combat).

Zuula Meta Search Engine
Zuula is a multi/meta search engine that I noticed the other day. It provides access to search engines in the areas of Web, News, Images, Blogs and Jobs. It takes results from various different engines in each category, but mainly uses Google, Yahoo, Ask, and MSN. It works in a similar fashion to engines such as TurboScout, which is to say that it displays results from one search engine, searchers click on another engine tab and it displays results from that one and so on.
It has a 'recent search' function, a few advanced search features (such as limiting to a specific domain), the ability to edit tabs – but only to the extent of re-ordering tabs or removing existing engines – it's not possible to add your own unfortunately. Zuula does the job that it sets out to do, but it's not yet very ambitious and will need to add more functionality and personalization options before I can get excited about it.

NORMAN — Alcott Middle School student Samuel Smith hopes his years of training in Boy Scouts of America will pay off for the Norman community when his Eagle Scout service project is complete.
Norman Eagle Scout candidate works on school mascot statue
Smith is working with a local artist to create a bronze statue of a wildcat for Alcott Middle School. The wildcat is the school mascot. Smith, the son of Paul and Bridget Smith, of Norman, is a member of Troop 20.
Smith said creating a statue has been more complicated than he expected. Besides coordinating numerous things at one time, he has to work within a timeline to complete the project before school is out for summer.
He said he hopes the completed project will boost morale and encourage pride at the school.
"I have gone to Alcott for three years," Smith said.
"When thinking about selecting a project, I just wanted to give back to my school. It will give the students a more potent sense of pride and ownership for Alcott, the school that they are associated with."
Local artist and sculptor Wade Heckes helped design and sculpt the wildcat, which will be posed atop a granite base. Heckes said he was eager to help since he attended Alcott when it was called West Junior High.
"I thought that it was a great idea and project," he said. "I believe that the Boy Scouts is a great organization, and I am pleased that I could help Samuel on his Eagle project."
Heckes donated his time to sculpt the piece, and granite for the sculpture's base was donated by Flintstone Rock in Oklahoma City. However, Smith needs to raise funds to molding, casting, welding and finishing the statue. The approximate cost is $5,000.

Health Reform Works—Just Look at Massachusetts
There was a 'significant decline in deaths' after health reform in the Commonwealth, according to a new study.
Harvard School of Public Health researchers estimate that MassachusettsŌĆÖ health reform law, which provided near-universal coverage beginning in 2006, has prevented approximately 320 deaths per yearŌĆöone life saved for each 830 people gaining insurance, according to a new study published in Annals of Internal Medicine.
The study reports that in┬Āthe first four years after Massachusetts instituted comprehensive health reform,┬Āmortality in the state decreased by 2.9 percent compared with similar populations in states that didnŌĆÖt expand health coverage. This news is big enough for Time magazine to publish┬Āthe following┬Āheadline:┬Ā"Obamacare Works, Massachusetts Proves It."
The study looks at whether or not┬Āhealth insurance expansion can save lives,┬Āand it appears that answer is yes.
ŌĆ£Given that MassachusettsŌĆÖ health reform was in many ways the model for the Affordable Care Act, it is critical to understand the lawŌĆÖs potential implications for population health,ŌĆØ said Benjamin Sommers, assistant professor of health policy and economics at HSPH and lead author of the study. ŌĆ£What we found in Massachusetts after reform was a significant reduction in deaths from the kinds of illnesses where we expect health care to have the biggest impact, including infections, cancer, and cardiovascular disease.ŌĆØ
Sommers and his team, including senior author Katherine Baicker, professor of health economics at HSPH, and economist Sharon Long of the Urban Institute, examined the┬Āchanges in mortality rates for adults ages 20 to 64 in Massachusetts before the stateŌĆÖs health reform was implemented (2001 to 2005) and after (2007 to 2010). According to the study:
The researchers compared the changes in Massachusetts counties to changes in demographically similar counties in other states that had not enacted health reform during the same period. Data came from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Census Bureau.
The researchers found that the decline in mortality was concentrated among causes of death most likely to be preventable or treatable with timely health care, and they found that Massachusetts counties with lower median incomes and a higher percentage of uninsured adults before the law was passedŌĆöareas likely to have experienced the greatest increase in access to care under reformŌĆögained the largest health benefits. In addition, the decline in mortality was nearly twice as large for minorities as it was for whites.
ŌĆ£Our findings add to a growing body of evidence showing that health insurance makes a positive difference in peopleŌĆÖs lives,ŌĆØ Sommers said in a statement. ŌĆ£How closely the impact of the Affordable Care Act will mirror the MassachusettsŌĆÖ experience is something weŌĆÖll have to continue watching closely, but this is certainly encouraging news for the lawŌĆÖs potential impact on public health.ŌĆØ
The results also showed that after the expansion there were fewer adults in Massachusetts without insurance, fewer cost-related barriers to care, more outpatient visits, and improvements in self-reported health.
UPDATED May 6, 10:35 a.m.: As pointed out by Yoni Appelbaum, a historian and doctoral┬Ācandidate at Brandeis┬ĀUniversity, based on the math of 8.2 per 100,000 people, the number of prevented┬Ādeaths should be approximately 350┬Āby now, up from the previously reported 320.

Mesut Ozil signing just keeps getting sweeter for Arsenal
Oct 1, 2013, 6:19 PM EST
It's a bit early for sweeping pronouncements, but here goes one anyway: Of all the huge summer singings around Europe, and for all the pitchfork-and-lantern-level angst over Arsenal's longstanding, conservative posture in the transfer market, has anyone had a bigger impact on their new club so far than Mesut Ozil?
Bale Schmale, right?
Again, it's early. (The "Bale-Schmale" thing is just exaggeration for effect; no one get their Real Madrid dander up, please.) But Ozil is a handsome 4-for-4 in his Arsenal displays, inspiring his Gunners to the top of the Premier League table and to the top of the club's tough Champions League group.
His impact was immense once again as Arsene Wenger's club remained in control of Group F on Tuesday in North London. In the bigger picture, Ozil's master class at the Emirates, one that left a quality Napoli side utterly defenseless, has Gunners fans wondering if the smooth German playmaker really was that one final, missing piece that Arsene Wenger has long talked about? And they can be forgiven now for wondering whether a big season in Europe and in England is unfolding … or is this just October fool's gold?
Either way, Tuesday's work of art is hardly the man's first for Arsenal, even in these earliest of days in his time with the Gunners. Let's quickly stroll back through the German international's first four matches in Arsenal gear:
Sept. 14 vs. Sunderland (Premier League): It took Ozil all of 11 minutes to demonstrate the class that is making him worth every pence or penny of that big ($68 million) transfer fee: His first Gunners assist came via that memorable, delightful first touch, one that arranged a goal from Olivier Giroud in an eventual 3-1 win over Sunderland. Ozil also set up Theo Walcott twice in a first half to remember. Ironically, Ozil started only because of injury to midfielder Santi Cazorla.
Sept. 18 vs. Marseilles (Champions League): Ozil's Champions League debut wasn't the same smashing success (although he did create a little YouTube moment with a wonderfully clever back heel pass). His overall influence was marginal, but it wasn't a talking point because the Gunners won impressively on the road (again), a 2-1 result at Marseille to successfully commence group play.
Sept. 22 vs. Stoke City (Premier League): The German international helped arrange all three Gunners goals in a 3-1 win at the Emirates. He had two actual assists and took the free kick that turned into Arsenal's other strike. So, yeah … that's making an impact. And that price of some $68 million – starting to look like a bargain?
Oct. 1 vs. Napoli (Champions League): Ozil's early strike to begin the Gunners' systematic destruction of the Italians on Tuesday was absolutely sublime. How easy he made a shot look that so many attackers would surely get all wrong. Afterward, Ozil was at the heart of a dazzling display, one that has Gunners fans wondering: is this Arsenal's best shot at a real UEFA run since reaching the 2006 final?
- wfjackson3 - Oct 2, 2013 at 1:03 AM
Let's see how they do when Wenger inevitably tries to put Cazorla and Ozil on the field together. Their already shoddy defense will get lots worse all of a sudden.

UT Arlington program reveals history of Native American regalia
Monday, November 15, 2010
Media Contact: Bridget Lewis, Office:817-272-3317, Cell:214-577-9094, email@example.com
ARLINGTON - The University of Texas at Arlington Native American Students Association will present its "This is not a Costume" program at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 17, in College Hall, Room 106, 600 S. West Street.
Members will show off American Indian dress, which includes elaborate homemade regalia. Some of the items are brand new and other clothing was passed down through generations.
Through the presentation, members hope to educate people about American Indian history. "We want to educate because there's so much misunderstanding and misrepresentation in the media," said Debra Foldoe, a UT Arlington graduate nursing student who is a descendant of the Chippewa tribe. People often think American Indians wore costumes for show, but Foldoe says: "This is personal. It's part of our culture. This is not a costume."
The campus group only has 15 to 20 members, but Texas has a sizable American Indian community. About 119,000 Native Americans live in Texas, about 0.5 percent of the state population. About 0.8 percent of Americans identified as American Indian or Alaskan Native in the 2000 Census, the highest percentage ever recorded, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. At least six tribes will be represented at the program and all ages are welcome.
The "This is not a Costume" program is free and open to the public. Visit this link for a map and directions to College Hall.
The University of Texas at Arlington is a comprehensive undergraduate and graduate research institution of nearly 33,000 students in the heart of North Texas. Visit www.uta.edu to learn more.
The University of Texas at Arlington is an Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action employer.

PURPOSE: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) generates severe postoperative pain in 60% of patients and moderate pain in 30% of patients. Lack of adequate pain control can hinder early intensive physical therapy, the most influential factor for a good outcome. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the femoral/sciatic block with postoperative pain management in comparison with conventional pain management in patients who have undergone unilateral primary TKA.
SAMPLE: Following unilateral TKA, 130 patients were evaluated: 65 in the general/spinal group and 65 in the general/femoral/sciatic group.
METHODS: This is a retrospective, comparative study. Participants who underwent primary TKA were randomly selected from a computer list generated by the hospitals medical records department between May 2001 to May 2002 and May 2004 to May 2005. Data collected included demographics, anesthesia type, knee range of motion, pain scores, complications, and length of stay.
FINDINGS: The general/femoral/sciatic group members experienced less pain as evidenced by the lower visual analog scale scores and less use of adjunct narcotics. They also performed better with increased knee flexion and extension scores than those in the general/spinal group. There was no difference in length of stay or significant differences between the groups with medical complications.
DISCUSSION: Findings indicate that femoral/sciatic nerve blocks in unilateral TKA are an effective method of postoperative pain management.

text: Embedded tools for client server web based development Picking out client server expansion tools can be a perplexed issue, postulating factors for example the proposed spectators of the program, the curriculum's proposed use, the OS, and the programming language you want to use. The other factor related to this is also a price factor, but luckily there are many integrated development environments (IDE) allowed without charge by organizations such as Microsoft, Apple and Oracle. Visual Studio 2010 Express An example of both free and a complete IDE is Microsoft Visual Studio Express series. There are number of versions on hand depending upon the type of development a developer is working on and all are accessible with SQL Server Express for database development for Apple iPhone and android application development. For development, the available languages and technologies consist of Visual C#, Visual C++, ASP.NET, Visual Basic,NET 3.5/4, and Silverlight 3/4. Potential objective platforms consist of web applications, internal client server applications and Windows Phone applications. Windows Phone edition also includes debug applications during the development process and also a simulator to test. Oracle Solaris Studio One of the free integrated development environments provided by major software organizations is Oracle Solaris Studio. The iphone application development can make it run on both Solaris and Linux, moreover it supports development in C, C++ and Fortran. Not astonishingly, this IDE incorporates well in organizations and client server applications that make use of Oracle databases and is compatible with SPARC and x86 based systems. Oracle JDeveloper Another freely available but focused toward Java development is also Oracle JDeveloper. You can install and run it on Windows, Linux and Mac, and also it supports incorporation with Oracle, MySQL, JDK and GlassFish. NetBeans IDE Integrated development environment that makes use of a plug-in system is NetBeans IDE which provides for a wide variety of development languages and needs and most importantly all in a free IDE.

Looking for a bridge over troubled water? Krithvi Shyam, our young psychologist, addresses your worst anxieties.
I am a 22-year-old B.E. graduate and my problem is that I have not got a job. My score is 50 per cent. I did not score very high in my Std X and XII too. My father always compares me with guys in my neighbourhood who are well settled. I think I'm a big loser in life as neither my friends nor my family respect me. I don't have any friends and I have also contemplated suicide. I don't have any hope in future. I have only been rejected at all the interviews I have attended so far. Everyone thinks I'm useless and that I do not have any talent. Please give me some advice on how to identify my talent and what I could do to better myself.
Down and out
Yuck, being compared to other people is the worst, so you have my sympathies. However, you are very young and should not give up so soon! You probably do have many talents; the only issue is you may not have had a chance to explore them. Take some time to understand yourself, your strengths and your weaknesses. Since you feel you have scored low marks, you need to build other skills to make up for this. This doesn't mean you start signing up for every certificate course in the country.
Ask yourself these questions: what sort of jobs am I applying for, and are they jobs which I think I can do well in, or are they capitalising on my weaknesses rather than my strengths? Are there jobs in industries I am interested in but haven't tried applying to before that I could try for now? What sorts of skills are valued at these jobs and how can I acquire them (Eg: classes to improve spoken English, communication skills or the use of specific software)? Is there anything I can do right now (volunteer work or enrolling in a course related to my career interests) that will show future employers that, while I was looking for a job, I spent my time wisely?
You can also try speaking to alumni from your college and the placement cell coordinators to find out what sort of jobs people with CVs similar to yours had got, and look for such opportunities for yourself. You can tell your father that you are trying your best to find a new job, and would like his support in doing so. Maybe he can help you identify strengths you might not have recognised yourself. There are no situations that can justify suicide. Yes, it's hard to face an uncertain future, but these are issues that just take time to get resolved, so make perseverance and a positive attitude your best friends and you will eventually succeed.

News Source : Penn State student-athletes from 11 sports approved to graduate
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Eighteen Penn State student-athletes have been approved to graduate on Saturday, Aug. 16, with commencement ceremonies being held in the Bryce Jordan Center. Also approved to graduate are two members of Penn State's cheerleading and dance teams.
Student-athletes representing 11 Penn State squads are on the approved to graduate list, including four members of the football team and four members of the women's lacrosse squad. Men's swimming (two), women's golf, softball, women's tennis, women's outdoor track and field, men's fencing, men's gymnastics, men's lacrosse, and men's outdoor track and field round out the teams represented in the list of 18 student-athletes.
Among the Penn State student-athletes approved to graduate on Saturday are Ryan Keiser, C.J. Olaniyan, Devin Pryor and Deron Thompson (football); Avery Curley, Mackenzie Cyr, Evan Foulsham and Shannon Lechner (women's lacrosse); Chris Cipolla and Thomas Mershon (men's swimming); Christina Vosters (women's golf); Elizabeth Presto (softball); Carmen Sandor (women's tennis); Brittany Howell (women's outdoor track and field); Jeffrey Miller (men's fencing); Ingvar Jochumsson (men's gymnastics) Kessler Brown (men's lacrosse); and Brandon Bennett-Green (men's outdoor track and field).
Kaitlin Stanilka (cheerleading) and Ashley Hand (dance) are also approved to graduate.
The four additional football student-athletes who are approved to graduate raises to nine the total of 2014 returnees with their degrees. Brad Bars, Jesse Della Valle, Miles Dieffenbach, Mike Hull and Zach Zwinak graduated in May.
Penn State student-athletes, who captured a conference-best 16 Big Ten Championships and four NCAA titles the past two years, consistently are among the nation's most successful in earning their degrees and academic achievement. A sampling of recent academic accomplishments includes:
-- A spring semester school record 461 Penn State student-athletes earned a grade-point average of 3.0 or higher during the 2014 spring semester. A spring semester record 205 student-athletes, the second-highest overall total, earned dean's list honors by posting a GPA of 3.50 or higher;
-- A school record 73 Penn State student-athletes received Distinguished Scholar Awards for the 2013-14 academic year. The total bettered last year's (2012-13) record number of 68;
-- A school record 136 Penn State student-athletes were honored as Academic All-Big Ten selections in the conference's 2014 Spring/At-Large announcement. The announcement brought Penn State's 2013-14 total to 285, second-highest all-time for Penn State student-athletes;
-- A record total of 387 awards were presented to Penn State student-athletes at the 27th annual SAAB Academic Achievement Awards Banquet on April 15. The figure topped last year's record of 356;
-- A school record 468 Penn State student-athletes earned a grade-point average of 3.0 or higher during the 2013 fall semester, with 197 earning dean's list recognition;
-- The NCAA's annual study of institutions nationwide in October revealed that Penn State student-athletes at the University Park campus earned a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 88 percent compared to an 81 percent average for all Division I institutions for students entering from 2003-04 through 2006-07;
-- NCAA data last October also showed the four-year federal graduation rate average for Penn State student-athletes was 78 percent, significantly higher than the national average of 65 percent, and tied for second among Big Ten Conference institutions;
-- Penn State's Katie Slay (women's volleyball), David Taylor (wrestling/At-Large) and John Urschel (football) earned first-team Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-America honors in 2013-14, with Slay being selected the Academic All-American of the Year for women's volleyball. Penn State has had 186 all-time honorees, the third-highest total among Division I institutions, with 40 Academic All-Americans honorees the past six years.

Carlyon Bay before the destruction began in 2004 - it's now littered with debris and unwelcoming fencing
These three beaches which make up Carlyon Bay are earmarked to be buried under concrete by Commercial Estates Group - a developer who wants to build more than 500 apartments and houses, as well as retail space and a hotel.
Planning permission was granted in 2011 but not one brick has been laid and they admit that they have no immediate plans to begin the work.
Meanwhile they have ruined these beaches by destroying the natural habitat which grew up over more than a century and which was enjoyed by generations of local people and visitors.
Carlyon Bay Watch exists to raise awareness of the destruction of St Austell's once family-friendly beach, to highlight the threat to public access and to campaign for any development to be safe, in scale and sympathetic to the coastal landscape of south Cornwall.
(You can see the annual Directors' Report on the About Us page)
We're also trying to put pressure on CEG to clear up the mess they've made so that people can at least enjoy the beaches until building starts.
CEG says demolition work might start on the Coliseum site in the spring of 2015.
Demolition work on the wrecked buildings on Crinnis beach (the Coliseum and café buildings) might start in February 2015.
This can only be welcome news for those who have long been calling for the destruction CEG has caused on the beaches to be cleaned up.
But it's emerged that CEG might ask Cornwall Council for a £15 million loan to start the work.
This is a company which always claimed this would be a world-class resort for Cornwall financed solely by private investment.
What is more, this public money (if it is forthcoming) would be going towards clearing up a mess entirely of CEG's making.
Why should taxpayers' cash be used to boost the profits of a private company?
The beaches (once part of the Carlyon Estate) were bought by CEG in 2004.
Only Crinnis was built on - the original sports facilities later became the Cornwall Coliseum.
CEG removed the roof from the Coliseum and left it to rot. They also destroyed popular walking and picnic areas on Shorthorn and Polgaver.
Have a look at a spoof blog with a tongue-in-cheek view of the future of the beaches
A Public Right of Way runs past the old Cornwall Coliseum - but CEG doesn't want you to have access to the beach.
Footpath campaigners and Cornwall Council have lost their bid to have access to the foreshore at Carlyon Bay designated as a Public Right of Way.
Cornwall Council had "found" (in January 2013) that the existing PROW to a point beyond the old Coliseum building should be extended to the shoreline.
But that decision was challenged by CEG resulting in a Public Inquiry held in June 2014.
The Inquiry Inspector has finally (November) produced his report and decided that he could not confirm the extension of the PROW across the beach to the shoreline.
The issue is important because if there is no right in law for the public to walk down to the beach then it will only be with the developers' permission - which they can withdraw at any time for any reason.

AT&T takes $1 billion health care reform chargeSubmitted by Katherine on Sun, 03/28/2010 - 08:06
When the Medicare prescription drug program was passed in 2003, it included a provision granting employers a subsidy of 28%, or up to $1,330, per retiree for prescription drug costs.
Even though the federal subsidies were already tax free, employers
could still write them off on their income taxes, in addition to
writing off their own contribution. The new law, signed by Obama on
Tuesday, maintains the subsidy as a tax-free incentive to employers, but prohibits them from taking it as a deduction.
Lyndon Johnson gave us medicare/medicaid. Health Care prices began to climb.
Richard Nixon gave us managed care to help control those rising prices. Services were cut while health care prices continued to rise.
GW Bush gave us a drug program and prices for drugs went up.
Oboma made managed care mandatory for everyone.
With mega-corp AT&T's example, what would lead us to believe or even hope that more of the same will not produce even higher prices for employee health insurance coverage?

yep, healthcare costs. Nothing is free.
Will we continue to allow our
Will we continue to allow our major cororations to dictate the cost of our health care in this country? It has been portrayed as a federal government evil...
here we can see that it is actually a corporate takeover of pricing through a governmental mandate.

"You must be the change you want to see in the world."

I believe the Obama bill prohibits this kind of price gauging. This is an idle threat by AT&T and other major corporations...
for soon the mighty will fall.
. @ @ . Power to the People!
. @ @ . NOT Corporate Entities!
It's gouging not gauging, and no, the obamacare isn't going to stop prices from rising. For some reason you can't seem to grasp that one person or one small group of people can't dictate to the marketplace (not long term anyways). The marketplace always wins. If you constrict supply by opening the floodgates of demand prices HAVE to rise, regardless of what AT&T does, what Obama says etc.
The marketplace naturally drives prices down, not up. It is because of government intervention into the marketplace why we have the situation in healthcare.
Through perverse incentives or implicit backstop guarantee's (things that don't naturally occur within the marketplace but only through govt intervention) we get a distortion, malinvestment and other unwanted, unintended consequences. These things take time however and by the time they occur many have forgotten it was govt intervention in the first place which brought on the current problem......and that govt intervention is typically to address previous govt intervention....as is the case with Healthcare.
Socialists/Communists/Collectivists can't seem to grasp the simple fact that a small handful of people CANNOT control the economy. They can try until they are blue in the face to give everyone *free* healthcare but it WILL NOT WORK. Just ask anyone that lived in any of the former satellite states of the Soviet Union. They will all tell you how horrible the healthcare actually was. I've heard numerous times how when the Soviet Union collapsed and the doctors began to open their own practices (basically giving up on state sponsored healthcare and allowing the marketplace to work instead) it was like flowers growing up out the cracks of a concrete jungle. They could literally see totally bankrupt of an idea communism was and how letting the marketplace work was SUCH a better way.
