Ive been with K&L since summer 2007, moving to retail from a restaurant background. I love coming up with fun food and wine pairings! I tend to enjoy and review wines that convey something interesting about their region of origin, and I usually prefer subtle, savoury wines. That said, dessert wines are always a particular weakness of mine! Often my reviewed wines- aperitif, main course or pudding- will be from France, Germany, or Austria. You will also see me recommending heaps of beers- so if you always dreamed of having a personal beer sommelier you can sign up for that. My ideal beer is a crispy English session ale but I enjoy exploring many different styles, from Californian double IPAs to sour Belgian Gueuzes. Im not a beer expert by any means but we have a great selection here at K&L and Im having a great time working my way through - hope you can join me!

2011 Obsidian Ridge "Obsidian Ridge Vineyard" Red Hills Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon
Review Date: 11-18-2014
Do any of you remember the story about the little train that could? Maybe you read it to your kids/grandkids or maybe you remember having it read to you when you were young like I do. The way I recall this story, not having heard it in a couple of decades, is there was this little, forgotten, overlooked train that had great pluck and determination. He kept with it always knowing that he could pull with the best of them. One day he got his chance and wouldnt you know it he saved the day! In my mind thats a perfect metaphor for the 2011 Obsidian Ridge "Obsidian Ridge Vineyard" Red Hills Lake County Cabernet Sauvignon ($24.99). Weve always kept this wine around in corners of the store that sometimes just get passed by too quickly. The staff has always loved the wine but maybe it slips their minds when someone asks them for a recommendation. This years wine is just too good to forget. Simply put it may be their best effort yet and it certainly is one of the best Cabernets weve seen from the much, yet sometimes unfairly, maligned 2011 vintage at it respective price point. There is just so much wine in this bottle; the scope and largesse here is pretty spectacular with bold, rich flavors of tar, ink, blackberry, ash, fried sage and lavender. Add a ton of spicy, exotic oak notes in the nose and a rock solid tannic structure and this is a wine that will be mistaken often for a wine twice its cost. Come on; give the little train a chance.
Price: $24.99
1997 Glen Ord 17 Year Old K&L Exclusive Signatory Hogshead Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 11-18-2014
Glen Ord is a funny little distillery and this whisky is no different. Here we 100% on the waxy pear and apple fruit. Also some green grapes and fresh herbs. With air it throws aromas of some very unusual exotic tincture. This is idiosyncratic whisky to say the least. The real scotch lovers will be able to coax a lot out of this special cask, but they must be patient and listen.
Price: $79.99
2001 Bowmore 12 Year Old K&L Exclusive Signatory Refill Sherry Butt Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 11-18-2014
Beautiful Bowmore! We owe you so much. This fabulous distillery holds a place close in our hearts for many reasons, but the number one reason is they keep putting out RIDICULOUSLY good whisky. This is exactly what I want in an everyday Islay peater. The nose is all smoke, but surprisingly little peat. Instead, we get flinty embers, dried underbrush, fresh sugar cookies, dried sultanas, and a hidden sherry note to balance. The palate brings all the Islay you could want focused like a laser around a bevy of complex flavors. This is another one of these contrast whiskies that I just can't get enough of.
Price: $99.99
1990 Bruichladdich 23 Year Old K&L Exclusive Signatory Refill Sherry Butt Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 11-18-2014
This, for me, is the quintessential 'Laddie. Often we compare Bruichladdich to it's smoky siblings on Islay. By describing it in this context, we are undoubtedly misrepresenting it's character. It is not a light fresh floral malt, but remains a rugged powerful ocean whisky. Despite it's lack of peat, this whisky shows power and depth. The nose draws the perfect line between the exotic wood and savory nuts of the refill sherry. IN the background, a fresh saline spray is apparent. Upon entry, what seemed dark and pensive is now expressive and free. Beautiful fresh fruit flavors mingle perfectly with deep flavors inherent. All along a slight salt nibble. It is indeed non slouch, but instead an Islay stunner of the truest sense.
Price: $159.99
1997 Glenrothes 17 Year Old K&L Exclusive Signatory Refill Sherry Butt Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 11-18-2014
Oh man, oh man this is a doozy. This whisky is going to make so many people happy. I don't remember this being quite so good back in Scotland and what this Glenrothes does right is exactly what lovers of Glenrothes will notice. The nose is powerfully sweet, dried figs, spiced cakes, chocolate frosting. Based on the nose the mouth was certain to keep this theme, but instead the earthy depth of the 'Rothes spirit pops its head up. Bringing earthy and leathery notes into the fold balances any fears of this being overly sweet. A fine Rothes to say the least.
Price: $79.99
1995 Imperial 18 Year Old K&L Exclusive Signatory Single Barrel Cask Strength Single Malt Whisky 750ml
Review Date: 11-18-2014
Without a doubt the Imperial is the biggest surprise of the trip. When we found this cask is was among a host of similar Imperials. We painstakingly examined each one, but even in the cold warehouse this cask stood out. Aromatically unabashed, the nose is all dark spiced oranges coating freshly made almond brittle. The balance on the palate is impeccable staying focused and lifted for power. This is a real stunner.
Price: $84.99
2012 Sesta di Sopra Rosso di Montalcino
Review Date: 11-17-2014
The desire to call Sesta's 2012 Rosso a "baby" Brunello is really coursing through my veins, as much as I don't like to use the phrase, but man this wine is something. This wine so complete, with such depth of flavor, so much fruit and such perfect balance; it is stunningly good for the price and remarkably drinkable now, although I'll be aging a six-pack myself for another few years. If you're new to Brunello, this is a great wine to get familiar with the region at a really good price.
Drink from 2014 to 2022
Price: $21.99
2013 Fujanera "Bellalma" Falanghina Puglia
Review Date: 11-17-2014
This 100% Falanghina is delicious, it's fermented in stainless steel, and then kept on its lees for two months before being bottled. The nose is a complex perfume of elderflowers and white peach, with a bit of crushed stone that is couched in a med-full body, and it has a long and decidedly refreshing finish. Perfect with Crab or just by itself!
Drink from 2014 to 2016
Price: $11.99
2012 Erik Banti "Carato" Toscana (1.5L)
Review Date: 11-17-2014
2012 Erik Banti Carato Toscana IGT $7.99 Erik Bantis Carato is a Mini Super Tuscan! Its a blend of 75% Sangiovese, 15% Merlot and 10% Ciliegiolo aged for 10 months in oak barrels and is just delicious. The wine tastes like it should cost much more, full, smooth, flavorful with excellent balance. A K&L Direct Import that offers you extraordinary value, and at this price you will be saying Wow!
Drink from 2014 to 2016
Price: $14.99
2013 Blason Pinot Grigio Isonzo (1L)
Review Date: 11-17-2014
Giovanni Blasons tiny winery is only 10 miles from Italys eastern border with Slovenia, and here he produces excellent wines for bargain prices! This 2013 vintage was Giovanni's best Pinot Grigio so far, the richness, complexity and balance. This wine recived 2 Glasses in Italy's #1 wine reviewer Gambero Rosso with an additional indication for its unbelievable price to quality ratio. This wine sees no oak treatment just some gentle lees stirring to add a bit of richness. Your holiday go to Pinot Grigio for sure!
Drink from 2014 to 2016
Price: $11.99
2010 Lestruelle, Médoc
Review Date: 11-16-2014
Full bodied and concentrated, this Bordeaux displays an intense nose of dark chocolate, licorice, dark cherries and some beautiful notes of violets. On the palate the high acidity is noticed and very welcomed for the over all balance of this wine, along with a good amount of oak spices. The fairly high tannins need some resolving with a few years in the cellar, or a good decanting will do. The sustainable agriculture method used by this property make it even more enticing. As for pairing, I would suggest heavy dishes, like stews, or a fatty cut of meat.
Price: $14.99
2013 Domaine des Côtes Blanches Sancerre
Review Date: 11-14-2014
We have carried this wine for a couple of years now and I have always enjoyed it. The 2013 just came in last week and...wow! The BEST yet! Three stars from Guido. Lots of limestone and flint on the palate; has wonderful length and is food friendly. This would be a great luncheon wine -- maybe baked goat cheese with fines herbs and baguette?
Price: $19.99
2010 Ostler "Caroline's" Pinot Noir Waitaki Valley North Otago | Public Pending Approval
Review Date: 11-14-2014
This is a highly fragrant wine. Purple flowers, a touch of lavender and anise on the nose. The palate is fresh and vibrant with lifted tones of fresh forest fruits, ground clove, star anise and some juicy raspberry as the mid-palate fleshes out with air. The wine is incredibly exotic and yet very focused and quite structured at the same time. It possesses a bright acidity and the unmistakable vibrancy that comes from deep limestone-rich soils. I can't wait to see how this wine ages; something tells me that it has a decade-plus ahead of it, and yet it is so expressive right now. This type of wine experience illustrates why people persist trying to make wine in very challenging places like the Waitaki Valley...because when things come together, vines on the edge of their existence produce the most exquisite and remarkable wines...just like this one!
Drink from 2014 to 2024
Price: $39.99
2013 Guy Saget "Marie de Beauregard" Vouvray | Approved
Review Date: 11-14-2014
Guy Saget has crafted a perfect introductory Vouvray, striking all the hallmarks that define the regions expression of Chenin Blanc. The nose is subtle, if not restrained, but the palate is where the wine reveals its abundance of fresh pear, orange blossom, fennel, and honey. Sea shell minerality and just a touch of residual sugar add welcome dimensions of complexity, while the lifted but comfortable acidity keeps everything afloat. If youve not yet experienced the perfection that is Vouvray paired with Thanksgiving dinner, do yourself a favor and give this crazy value a chance.
Price: $15.99
2013 Claude Riffault "Les Boucauds" Sancerre | Public Pending Approval
Review Date: 11-14-2014
The Les Boucauds is very racy and zippy. The nose shows notes of bright lemon peel, a hint of flint and minerality. The palate provides sharp, mouthwatering acidity and a very linear and focused backbone of minerality. Notes of limoncello, orange blossom and lime zest are perfect for seafood or simply sipping on those inevitably, unseasonably warm winter days in SoCal.
Price: $27.99

Spokane (Wash.) Mead tight end and Notre Dame commit Danny Mattingly was spectacular in this opening round playoff matchup. Mead rolled, forcing double digit Newport fumbles and recovering three. Mattingly had his hand in a couple of the loose balls, but really made an impact on offense. Mattingly made multiple highlight reel catches including a 28-yard touchdown. Mattingly showed great body control running down the field and made adjustments to the ball while it was in the air. Most balls thrown to him were "jump ball" situations and he regularly beat the defense. Coming into the game there was debate as to whether Mattingly was better suited for offense or defense in college, after the game it was clear his highest ceiling is at tight end.
DE/TE Langston Ward (2013)
Spokane (Wash.) Mead defensive end and Harvard commit Langston Ward was impressive as well. Ward has a great frame at 6-foot-4, 230-pounds. If he had not committed to Harvard so early and was not set on that education, I believe he would have multiple Pac-12 offers. Ward also plays tight end and gives Mead a great double tight end set that can run the ball as well as attack the defense down the field.
QB/S Isaac Dotson (2013)
This was not the best game for Bellevue (Wash.) Newport quarterback and Nevada commit Isaac Dotson. He was regularly under pressure and made a couple mistakes throwing the ball. Newport shot itself in the foot with fumbles, then was forced to thrown because of the score. Newport is a option team and wasn't prepared to come out and throw themselves back into the game. Dotson is still an impressive athlete and while at safety was responsible for some of the most vicious hits in the game.
DT Calvin Throckmorton (2015)
Bellevue (Wash.) Newport defensive tackle Calvin Throckmorton was not dominant in the game, but has the size to be a potential Pac-12 prospect. He projects best to the offensive side of the ball and I believe he will be highly recruited as an offensive tackle. For now, he just plays defense, but his frame, agility and toughness lead me to believe he will continue to develop over the next two years.

"The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."
—Christopher McCandless, aka Alexander Supertramp
Last minute travel might be one of the greatest pleasures in life. One day you're on your couch channel surfing and the next, you're on a plane to Iceland, waking up to someone else's sun. It's magic.
I recently indulged in such an adventure...to Istanbul, though. Iceland will have to wait. "Istanbul in the summer" happened to be number 67 on my 101 in 1,001 list (a short-term bucket list of sorts—101 things to do and places to see in 1,001 days). That means I'm practically obligated to say "yes" when a list item presents itself. That's how the list works...you get to say "yes" before you talk yourself out of it.
The minute we land it's off to the old city to explore the Grand Bazaar. Truth be told, the Grand Bazaar—said to be the world's oldest shopping mall—lives up to its moniker. Much of the space is devoted to knockoff designer goods you can find on Canal St. To get to the interesting stuff, we mine deeper into the center of the Bazaar in search of the Old Bazaar, a maze of antiquities, objet, and Turkish rugs nestled in the heart of the Grand Bazaar.
Locals have been setting up shop here for over 550 years. We spend the better part of an entire day getting lost in the labyrinth of side streets and alleyways. At a particular quaint jeweler's shop, my eyes light up at the sight of some sterling silver cuffs. Inspired, I scoop them all up.
The rugs in Turkey are simply breath-taking. Rich in history, craftsmanship, and beauty, buyers from all over the world descend upon the rug shops in the old city in search of antique pieces (rugs over 100 years old). It is not uncommon for these rugs to start in the thousands of dollars. After drinking more than enough apple tea than we both can handle, a little shop outside of the Bazaar called Noah's Ark catches the corner of my eye. Curious about the name (I mean, Noah's ark is said to have been found on Mount Ararat in Turkey), we duck in.
A gentleman welcomes us immediately with a smile as warm as the Turkish sun. In typical fashion, he offers us tea, a seat, and his name. He goes by Hamza…and he discreetly discloses with a wink that only tourists opt for apple tea. We nonchalantly opt for the locals' cup of tea. His English is very good…so good in fact that his jokes and timing are spot on. Turns out he spends six months a year in the States hocking his carpets to the well-to-do. We spend the next several hours in conversation about Turkish rugs, their provenance, their significance, and most importantly, their beauty. At some point in the evening, a bottle of Jack Daniels makes its way out (as well as some chocolate). All the trade-secrets come spilling out like a busted piñata after two or three pours. The Tennessee whiskey eventually seduces Hamza into sharing his own story of his nomadic childhood and his subsequent journey to Istanbul at the age of 14. I'm loving this guy.
While we certainly hit the highlights of Hagia Sophia, Grand Bazaar, and Sultanahmet Mosque over our six days in Istanbul, it's the moments and relationships we share with the locals we meet that will travel back with us as souvenirs of our time in this vibrant city.

As significant as his writing was, Ernest Hemingway is remembered just as much for the life he lived beyond the page. Everything about him was oversized—war service in Europe, big-game hunting in Africa, all-night benders in Paris. Hemingway embodied a full range of traditionally masculine experiences few others have. He even had a dictum that summed up his approach: "Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk."
His appetite for adventure only persisted later in his life, which ended tragically in 1961. If Hemingway's literary output slowed during this final postwar decade, his celebrity spread far and wide. He wrote dispatches on bullfights and marlin fishing for popular magazines, and was the subject (sometimes willing, sometimes not) of numerous awed profiles.
Hemingway, in this final act, produced the smash hits The Old Man and the Sea, which earned him a Nobel Prize in 1954, and his Parisian memoir A Moveable Feast. Meanwhile, the legend of his manliness grew. While on a big-game safari in East Africa, he stunned the public by surviving not one plane crash but two. Rather than kick open a door that had been jammed shut, in spectacular fashion, he head-butted it to escape the wreckage.
"He always looked great, as if he'd slept a baby's sleep in a soundproof room with his eyes covered by black patches..."
The look that 'Papa' Hemingway sported in these up-and-down years of late middle age was the iconic one that comes to mind when we think of him today: straight, medium-length locks of white hair and a healthy silver beard. This is not the trim, mustachioed younger man who penned The Sun Also Rises—but it's the look that hundreds of Hemingway fans replicate in a remarkable lookalike contest that takes place every year in Key West, Florida.
The graying Hemingway wrote from his house in Cuba, where he was most productive during the morning hours. Ever the man of action, he tended to compose standing up. No matter how much red wine he'd downed or unruly conduct he'd modeled the night before, a good night's rest seemed to cure all. He "always looked great, as if he'd slept a baby's sleep in a soundproof room with his eyes covered by black patches," one of his sons later recalled.
Nevertheless, personal hygiene was an afterthought. Hemingway's third wife, Martha Gellhorn, described him as "one of the most unfastidious men I've ever known." The thing he cultivated best of all, perhaps, was an image of done-it-all manliness. 'Papa,' a nickname often assumed to have attached itself to him later, was oddly one the author chose for himself while in his mid-twenties. But it was in these final, bearded years that it truly stuck.

This whole thing was orchestrated from the beginning. Find a company with old info, know of a small FDA loophole. This smells. I have no ax to grind, I sold at a profit. I'm just am a observer and think something stinks. The best part, there wasn't any deep pockets holding shares, like institutions. Just retail customers who want to believe.
The real smell test comes when it tanked and how both the company and analyst news hits at same time. The poor retail didn't know what to do and even bought into this a second and third time. $600M vanished.
Anytime you do not have the big picture...it easy to point fingers. The bear attack came before the PR...just remember that. And all here who are naysayers do not have a medical degree to understand the drug and how it works.
If this was planned from the beginning then that was ten years ago.......use some common sense.
I'm sorry but you rationalize everything. They picked your pocket and you want to give them a pat on the back. Who said this was planned from the beginning? I just saying this doesn't pass the smell test.
To many things here went on that locked the retail in. The Cusp change, the timing of both pro and con replies. Here's the $600M question, when did they receive the FDA letter? To pull off the perfect heist, you need confusion...can we agree on that? I understand that you cannot allow any logic to deter you from making a million bucks here.
The best part of this scheme, is plausible deniability from all parties. they should make a movie of what has happen the past week. I'd pay $9 to see it again...make that $25, I want popcorn and big drink.
I would love to pull the trigger again, a few days ago, I was thinking this was headed to $60. But then again only one poster here sees the BIG PICTURE.
That would be a long plan. And if it was accurately executed. Hahahahaha
I was thinking all the time, this is too good to be true. Cancer cure. My idiotic brain....
You said it.. you know... about your brain. Those doctors at Moffit know nothing, huh...
Sentiment: Strong Buy
the question i have is who knew?
i like it. it was carefully orchestrated.
You know I have been thinking. How probable is this?

Jazz vocalist Jane Harvey dies at 88
LOS ANGELES (AP) - Jane Harvey, the jazz vocalist who performed with the likes of Desi Arnaz, Duke Ellington and Benny Goodman, has died. She was 88.
A spokesman for Harvey says the singer died Thursday at her home in Los Angeles after a battle with cancer.
Harvey began her career as a performer at Cafe Society in New York. She went on to record such songs as "You Brought a New Kind of Love to Me," "Close as Pages in a Book" and "Only Another Boy and Girl" with the Goodman orchestra. She also recorded "A Rainy Night in Rio" with Arnaz and "A Hundred Dreams From Now" with Ellington.
Harvey is survived by her husband, William King, her son Bob Thiele Jr., daughter-in-law Amy Kanter Thiele and a grandson, Owen Thiele.

ABSTRACT: Obesity and the growing population of older adults are significant public health concerns in the United States. In 2011, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services introduced a Medicare benefit for obesity counselling using Intensive Behavioral Therapy that would reimburse structured visits over a 12-month period. Although we applaud this new benefit that addresses the obesity epidemic in older adults, three major shortcomings limit its utility and potential effectiveness: 1) weight loss interventions differ in older and younger adults, yet the benefit relies predominantly on data from interventions studied in younger populations; 2) body mass index is not an accurate measure for identifying obesity; and 3) tying reimbursement to clinician visits may hamper the integration of this benefit into practice. To overcome these shortcomings, we propose: 1) obesity treatment should focus on improving quality of life and physical function and on mitigating muscle and bone loss rather than focusing solely on weight loss; 2) waist circumference or waist-hip ratio should be considered as additional anthropometric measures in ascertaining obesity; and 3) allied health professionals should be reimbursed for providing this benefit. Incorporating these suggestions will improve its usability in clinical practice and increase the chances that this well-meaning benefit will improve patient outcomes.Journal of general internal medicine. 09/2014;
Article: The impact of waist circumference on function and physical activity in older adults: longitudinal observational data from the osteoarthritis initiative.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We previously demonstrated that BMI is associated with functional decline and reduced quality of life. While BMI in older adults is fraught with challenges, waist circumference (WC) is a marker of visceral adiposity that can also predict mortality. However, its association with function and quality of life in older adults is not well understood and hence we sought to examine the impact of WC on six-year outcomes.Nutrition journal. 08/2014; 13(1):81.
Article: Waist Circumference, Physical Activity and Functional Impairments in Older US Adults: Results From the NHANES 2005-2010.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Physical activity (PA) improves function in older obese adults. However, body mass index is an unreliable adiposity indicator better reflected by waist circumference (WC). The impact of PA on physical impairment and mobility with high WC is unclear. We performed a secondary data analysis of 4,976 adults ≥60 years using National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys (NHANES) 2005-2010. Physical limitations (PL), activities of daily living (ADL) impairments, and PA (low(<1day/week) or high (>1day/week) were self-reported. Waist circumference (WC) was dichotomized (females: 88cm; males: 102cm). Mean age was 70.1years, 55.1% were female. Prevalence of PL and ADL impairment in the high WC group were 57.7% and 18.8%, respectively, and high PA was present in 53.9%. Among high WC, high PA vs. low PA were at lower risk of PL (OR 0.58[0.48-0.70]) and ADL impairment (OR 0.46 [0.32-0.65]). High WC had higher odds of PL irrespective of PA (high PA: OR 1.57 [1.30-1.88]; low PA: OR 1.52[1.29-1.79]) and ADL impairment (high PA:OR 1.27 [1.02-1.57] and low PA:OR 1.24 [0.99-1.54]). High PA in viscerally obese individuals is associated with impairments.Journal of aging and physical activity. 08/2014;
Article: Sarcopenia, sarcopenic obesity and mortality in older adults: results from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Background:Sarcopenia is defined as the loss of skeletal muscle mass and quality, which accelerates with aging and is associated with functional decline. Rising obesity prevalence has led to a high-risk group with both disorders. We assessed mortality risk associated with sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity in elders.Methods:A subsample of 4652 subjects ⩾60 years of age was identified from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey III (1988-1994), a cross-sectional survey of non-institutionalized adults. National Death Index data were linked to this data set. Sarcopenia was defined using a bioelectrical impedance formula validated using magnetic resonance imaging-measured skeletal mass by Janssen et al. Cutoffs for total skeletal muscle mass adjusted for height(2) were sex-specific (men: ⩽5.75 kg/m(2); females ⩽10.75 kg/m(2)). Obesity was based on % body fat (males: ⩾27%, females: ⩾38%). Modeling assessed mortality adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity (model 1), comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes, congestive heart failure, osteoporosis, cancer, coronary artery disease and arthritis), smoking, physical activity, self-reported health (model 2) and mobility limitations (model 3).Results:Mean age was 70.6±0.2 years and 57.2% were female. Median follow-up was 14.3 years (interquartile range: 12.5-16.1). Overall prevalence of sarcopenia was 35.4% in women and 75.5% in men, which increased with age. Prevalence of obesity was 60.8% in women and 54.4% in men. Sarcopenic obesity prevalence was 18.1% in women and 42.9% in men. There were 2782 (61.7%) deaths, of which 39.0% were cardiovascular. Women with sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity had a higher mortality risk than those without sarcopenia or obesity after adjustment (model 2, hazard ratio (HR): 1.35 (1.05-1.74) and 1.29 (1.03-1.60)). After adjusting for mobility limitations (model 3), sarcopenia alone (HR: 1.32 ((1.04-1.69) but not sarcopenia with obesity (HR: 1.25 (0.99-1.58)) was associated with mortality. For men, the risk of death with sarcopenia and sarcopenic obesity was nonsignificant in both model-2 (HR: 0.98 (0.77-1.25), and HR: 0.99 (0.79-1.23)) and model 3 (HR: 0.98 (0.77-1.24) and HR: 0.98 (0.79-1.22)).Conclusions:Older women with sarcopenia have an increased all-cause mortality risk independent of obesity.European Journal of Clinical Nutrition advance online publication, 25 June 2014; doi:10.1038/ejcn.2014.117.European journal of clinical nutrition. 06/2014;

ABSTRACT: Obesity defined by body mass index (BMI) is associated with higher levels of functional impairment. However, BMI strata misrepresent true adiposity, particularly in those with a normal BMI but elevated body fat (BF%) (normal weight obesity [NWO]) whom are at higher metabolic and mortality risk. Whether this subset of patients is associated with worsening functional outcomes is unclear.European Journal of Internal Medicine 06/2014; · 2.30 Impact Factor
Article: Anthropometric measurements and survival in older americans: results from the third national health and nutrition examination survey.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Objectives: The impact of adiposity on mortality in older adults remains controversial. Some reports suggest that measures of general adiposity such as body mass index (BMI) predict better survival. We assessed the relationship between measures of adiposity and mortality in older adults. Design: Cross-sectional analysis of a population-based sample. Setting: Non-institutionalized persons in the United States participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys III and its linked mortality dataset. Participants: A subsample of 4,489 non-institutionalized survey participants aged >60 years with measures of body composition using bioimpedance. To account for possible residual confounding, smokers, subjects with heart failure, respiratory disease, kidney disease and cancer were excluded (n=2,920). Data from 1569 subjects were analysed. Measurements: BMI, waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR), lean mass (LM) and % Body Fat (BF) were classified by tertiles (lowest=referent). Proportional-hazard models evaluated the association of anthropometric indices with overall and cardiovascular mortality. Results: Mean age was 69.4years, and 265(16.9%) were >80 years. There were 717(47.6%) women and 792 deaths of which 284 [35.9%] were cardiovascular related. Elevated BMI was associated with reduced cardiovascular mortality (HR 0.53 [0.30-0.84]), and remained significant after adjusting for LM (HR 0.54 [0.31-0.93]). Elevated %BF was associated with reduced mortality from cardiovascular causes (HR 0.52 [0.29-0.91]). Low BMI was associated with higher risk of cardiovascular (HR 3.66 [1.25-10.69]) and overall death (HR 2.44 [1.22-4.90]). Conclusion: Measures of adiposity in older participants are associated with lower mortality from cardiovascular causes that cannot be explained by major known confounders between obesity and mortality. Further studies need to elucidate a possible protective role and interplay between adiposity and skeletal muscle in older adults.The Journal of Nutrition Health and Aging 01/2014; 18(2):123-30. · 2.39 Impact Factor
Article: Psychological and behavioural factors associated with long-term weight maintenance after a multidisciplinary treatment of uncomplicated obesity.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Obesity is a multifactorial syndrome and the likelihood of success of a medical nutritional treatment (MNT) over the long term is low. As psychological and behavioural factors have an important role in both pathogenesis and the treatment of obesity, these issues were investigated in individuals with obesity who reported a long-term success or a failure in terms of weight loss following a MNT. Eighty-eight individuals of an original cohort of 251 subjects were re-evaluated 10 years after a MNT with cognitive-behavioural approach for uncomplicated obesity. Fifty-three participants were classified as failure (body weight change ≥0.5 kg) and 35 as a success (10-year body weight change <0.5 kg) of the MNT. Prior to the beginning of the weight-management program, both the Dieting Readiness Test (DRT) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) were administered. At a 10-year follow-up after the MNT, self-reported questionnaires were administered: quality of life was assessed by the Obesity Related Well-Being (ORWELL 97) questionnaire, eating attitudes and behaviours by the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q), the Binge Eating Scale (BES) investigated the presence and severity of binge eating and the Symptom Checklist (SCL 90-R) was used to identify the psychopathological distress. The scores of the ORWELL 97 items concerning symptoms (P = 0.005), discomfort (P = 0.03) and the total score (P = 0.02) were significantly lower in the success group. The depression score of the HADS was positively correlated with the percentage of body weight change observed 10 years after the MNT (r = 0.22; P = 0.045). The scores of the shape concern (EDE-Q) (r = 0.35; P = 0.013) and of the discomfort (ORWELL 97) (r = 0.36; P = 0.012) were significantly correlated with the percentage of body weight change 10 years after the MNT. In conclusion, this study is in agreement with the possibility that the psychological quality of life is associated even with modest amounts of weight loss in the long run. Further research should support identifying successful predictors of weight loss.Eating and weight disorders: EWD 09/2013; · 0.53 Impact Factor
Article: Normal Weight Obesity and Mortality in United States Subjects ≥60 Years of Age (from the Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey).[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Current body mass index (BMI) strata likely misrepresent the accuracy of true adiposity in older adults. Subjects with normal BMI with elevated body fat may metabolically have higher cardiovascular and overall mortality than previously suspected. We identified 4,489 subjects aged ≥60 years (BMI = 18.5 to 25 kg/m(2)) with anthropometric and bioelectrical impedance measurements from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys III (1988 to 1994) and mortality data linked to the National Death Index. Normal weight obesity (NWO) was classified in 2 ways: creation of tertiles with highest percentage of body fat and body fat percent cutoffs (men >25% and women >35%). We compared overall and cardiovascular mortality rates, models adjusted for age, gender, smoking, race, diabetes, and BMI. The final sample included 1,528 subjects, mean age was 70 years, median (interquartile range) follow-up was 12.9 years (range 7.5 to 15.3) with 902 deaths (46.5% cardiovascular). Prevalence of NWO was 27.9% and 21.4% in men and 20.4% and 31.3% in women using tertiles and cutoffs, respectively. Subjects with NWO had higher rates of abnormal cardiovascular risk factors. Lean mass decreased, whereas leptin increased with increasing tertile. There were no gender-specific differences in overall mortality. Short-term mortality (<140 person-months) was higher in women, whereas long-term mortality (>140 person-months) was higher in men. We highlight the importance of considering body fat in gender-specific risk stratification in older adults with normal weight. In conclusion, NWO in older adults is associated with cardiometabolic dysregulation and is a risk for cardiovascular mortality independent of BMI and central fat distribution.The American journal of cardiology 08/2013; · 3.58 Impact Factor
Article: Variation in the Prevalence of Sarcopenia and Sarcopenic Obesity in Older Adults Associated with Different Research Definitions: Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999-2004.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES: To determine the prevalence range for sarcopenic obesity and its relationship with sex, age, and ethnicity. DESIGN: Cross-sectional analysis of a population-based sample. SETTING: Noninstitutionalized persons in the United States participating in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys 1999-2004. PARTICIPANTS: Subsample of 4,984 subjects aged 60 and older with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry body composition data. MEASUREMENTS: Eight definitions of sarcopenic obesity identified from six studies found using a systematic literature review (Baumgartner, Bouchard, Davison, Zoico, Levine, Kim-1,2,3) were applied to the sample. Results were stratified according to sex, age, and ethnicity. RESULTS: Prevalence of sarcopenic obesity ranged from 4.4% to 84.0% in men and from 3.6% to 94.0% in women. Prevalence was higher in men using definitions from Baumgartner (17.9% vs 13.3%, P < .001), Levine (14.2% vs 6.6%, P < .001), and Kim-1 (30.0% vs 9.3%, P < .001); lower for men using the Davison (4.4% vs 11.1%, P < .001) and Kim-2 (83.7% vs 94.0%) definitions; and the same for men and women using the Bouchard (45.3% vs 44.3%, P = .32) and Kim-3 (75.6% vs 77.0%, P = .51) definitions. For all but one definition, sarcopenic obesity increased with each decade and was lower in non-Hispanic blacks than whites. CONCLUSION: Prevalence of sarcopenic obesity in older adults varies up to 26-fold depending on current research definitions. Such a high degree of variability suggests the need to establish consensus criteria that can be reliably applied across clinical and research settings.Journal of the American Geriatrics Society 05/2013; · 4.22 Impact Factor
Article: Impact of Bariatric Surgery on Quality of Life, Functional Capacity, and Symptoms in Patients with Heart Failure.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Obesity is a risk factor for heart failure (HF), but the benefit of weight loss in HF is unknown. We assessed the effects of bariatric surgery (BSx) compared to non-operative treatment for morbid obesity on overall quality of life (QoL), functional capacity, and symptoms in 13 HF patients undergoing BSx and six HF patients treated without surgery. In the BSx group, median age was 62, body mass index (BMI) was 55 kg/m(2), and 5/13 were males; in the non-operative group, median age was 69, BMI was 42 kg/m(2), and 1/6 were male. Median follow-up was 4.3 and 2.7 years, respectively. At follow-up, BMI was less in the BSx group (35 vs 47 kg/m(2), p < 0.001); QoL (p < 0.01), frequency of exertional dyspnea (p = 0.01), and leg edema (p = 0.04) improved only in the BSx group. BSx induced weight loss and improved QoL and symptoms in morbidly obese patients with HF.Obesity Surgery 04/2013; · 3.10 Impact Factor

Article: Risk perception of obesity and bariatric surgery in patients seeking treatment for obesity.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Bariatric surgery (BSx) produces clinically relevant weight loss that translates into improved quality of life, decreased mortality, and reduction in medical comorbidities, including cardiovascular (CV) risk. Little is known about patients' decision-making process to undergo BSx, but risk perception is known to influence medical decision-making. This study examined CV and BSx risk perception in obese subjects undergoing BSx (n = 268) versus those managed medically (MM) (n = 273). This retrospective population-based survey of subjects evaluated for BSx had 148 (55%) and 88 (32%) responders in the BSx and MM groups, respectively. Survey questions assessed risk perceptions and habits prior to weight loss intervention. CV risk was calculated using the Framingham Risk Score (FRS). At baseline, BSx subjects had a greater body mass index and greater prevalence of diabetes and depression. Follow-up mean weight loss was greater in the BSx group. BSx subjects perceived obesity as a greater risk to their overall health than the surgical risk. FRS declined in the BSx group (10 to 5%; p < 0.001) while there was no change in the MM group (8 to 8%; p = 0.54). Those without a measurable decrease in CV risk had a greater tendency to perceive the risk of BSx as greater than that of obesity. Obese subjects undergoing BSx are more likely than MM subjects to perceive obesity as a greater risk to their health than BSx. MM subjects generally underestimate their CV risk and overestimate the risk of BSx. Active discussion of CV risk using the FRS and the perception of risk associated with bariatric surgery can enhance patients' ability to make an informed decision regarding their management.European journal of preventive cardiology. 11/2012;
Article: Validity of cardiovascular risk prediction models in Latin America and among Hispanics in the United States of America: a systematic review.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To assess the use and validity of prediction models to estimate the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Latin America and among Hispanic populations in the United States of America. This was a systematic review of three databases: Ovid MEDLINE (1 January 1950-15 April 2010), LILACS (1 January 1988-15 April 2010), and EMBASE (1 January 1988-15 April 2010). MeSH search terms and domains were related to CVD, prediction rules, Latin America (including the Caribbean), and Hispanics in the United States. Database searches were supplemented by correspondence with experts in the field. A total of 1 655 abstracts were identified, of which five cohorts with a total of 13 142 subjects met inclusion criteria. A Mexican cohort showed that the predicted/observed event-rate ratio for coronary heart disease (CHD) according to the Framingham risk score (FRS) was 1.68 (95% CI, 1.26-2.11); incident myocardial infarction, 1.36 (95% CI, 0.90-1.83); and CHD death, 1.21 (95% CI, 0.43-2.00). In Ecuador, a prediction model for CVD and total deaths in hypertensive patients had an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.79 (95% CI, 0.72-0.86), while the World Health Organization method had an AUC of 0.74 (95% CI, 0.67-0.82). A study predicting mortality risk in people with Chagas' disease had an AUC of 0.81 (95% CI, 0.72-0.90). Among a United State s cohort that included Hispanics, FRS overestimated CVD risk for Hispanics with an AUC of 0.69. Another study in the United States that assessed FRS factors predicting CVD death among Mexican-Americans had an AUC of 0.78. The evidence regarding CVD risk prediction rules in Latin America or among Hispanics in the United States is modest at best. It is likely that the FRS overestimates CVD risk in Hispanics when not properly recalibrated.Arquivos brasileiros de oftalmologia 08/2012; 32(2):131-9.

ABSTRACT: Street Food (SF) consists of out-of-home food consumption and has old, historical roots with complex social-economic and cultural implications. Despite the emergence of modern fast food, traditional SF persists worldwide, but the relationship of SF consumption with overall health, well-being, and obesity is unknown. This is an observational, cross-sectional study. The study was performed in Palermo, the largest town of Sicily, Italy. Two groups were identified: consumers of SF (n = 687) and conventional restaurant food (RES) consumers (n = 315). Study subjects answered a questionnaire concerning their health conditions, nutritional preferences, frequency of consumption of SF and a score relative to SF consumption ranging from 0 to 20 was calculated. Body mass index (BMI, kg/m2) was significantly and independently correlated with the score of street food consumption (r = 0,103; p < 0.002). The prevalence of different diseases, including hypertension and type 2 diabetes, and the use of medications did not differ between the two groups. Milza (a sandwich stuffed with thin slice of bovine spleen and lung) consumers had a significantly higher prevalence of hypertension (12.2% vs 6.2% in non consumers; p < 0.005) and in this subgroup the use of anti-hypertensive drugs was inversely correlated with the frequency of milza consumption (r = 0.11; P = 0.010). This study suggests that SF consumption in Palermo is associated with a higher BMI and higher prevalence of hypertension in milza consumers. Further studies should evaluate whether frequent SF consumers have unfavourable metabolic and cardiovascular profile.Nutrition Journal 01/2011; 10:119. · 2.65 Impact Factor
Article: Long-term effects of a multidisciplinary treatment of uncomplicated obesity on carotid intima-media thickness.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Obesity is associated with well-known cardiovascular risk factors and a lower life expectancy. This study investigated whether nonoperative nutritional treatment of obesity without comorbidities influenced the carotid intima-media thickness (c-IMT) in the long run. Fifty-four subjects of an original cohort of 251 subjects were re-evaluated 10 years after a medical nutritional treatment (MNT) with cognitive-behavioral approach for uncomplicated obesity. Forty subjects were classified as failure (10-year body weight change > 0.5 kg) and 14 (body weight change ≤ 0.5 kg) as a success of the MNT. Ten years after MNT, c-IMT significantly increased (0.06 ± 0.02 mm; P = 0.004) in the failure group and significantly decreased (-0.07 ± 0.03 mm; P = 0.027) in the success group. Ten-year change in c-IMT correlated significantly with 10-year change in body weight (r = 0.28; P = 0.040). Multiple stepwise linear regression analysis demonstrated that age, final BMI, and group (success or failure) influenced independently the 10-year c-IMT. In conclusion, this study is in agreement with the possibility that the successful MNT of obesity may be an effective choice in the long run and seems to indicate that it may be able to reduce the cardiovascular risk as reflected by the change in c-IMT.Obesity 12/2010; 19(6):1187-92. · 3.92 Impact Factor

ABSTRACT: Although coffee is largely consumed by adults in Western countries, controversy exists about its impact on the cardiovascular system. We recently demonstrated that caffeinated and decaffeinated espresso coffee have different acute effects on endothelial function in healthy subjects, measured using flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery. In this study, we measured the anti-oxidant capacity of two coffee substances in terms of free stable radical 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl 50% inhibition (I(50) DPPH). The caffeinated coffee had a slightly higher anti-oxidant capacity than decaffeinated espresso coffee (I(50) DPPH: 1.13±0.02 vs 1.30±0.03 μl; P<0.001). We suggest that the unfavourable effects observed after caffeinated coffee ingestion are due to caffeine and that the antioxidant activity is responsible for the increased FMD observed after decaffeinated coffee ingestion. Further clinical and epidemiological studies are needed to understand the chronic effects of coffee consumption on health.European journal of clinical nutrition 10/2010; 64(10):1242-3. · 3.07 Impact Factor
Article: Relationships between maximal oxygen uptake and endothelial function in healthy male adults: a preliminary study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Aerobic capacity, as indicated by maximal oxygen uptake (VO(2) max) has an important role in contrasting the traditional cardiovascular risk factors and preventing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. It is known that endothelial function, measured as flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery, is strictly linked to atherogenesis and cardiovascular risk. However, the relationship between VO(2) max and FMD has not been fully investigated especially in healthy non-obese subjects. This preliminary study cross-sectionally investigated the relationship between VO(2) max and FMD in 22 non-obese, healthy sedentary male subjects. Dividing the cohort in two subgroups of 11 subjects each according to the median value of VO(2) max, the FMD was significantly lower in the subgroup with lower VO(2) max (mean ± sem: 7.1 ± 0.7 vs. 9.5 ± 0.8 %; P = 0.035). Absolute VO(2) max (mL min(-1)) was significantly and independently correlated with body fat mass (r = -0.50; P = 0.018) and with FMD (r = 0.44; P = 0.039). This preliminary study suggests that maximal oxygen uptake is independently correlated with endothelial function in healthy non-obese adults. These results are also in agreement with the possibility that improving maximal oxygen uptake may have a favorable effect on endothelial function and vice versa.Acta Diabetologica 10/2010; · 4.63 Impact Factor

It's an exclamation point at the end of an accidental 10-year epic. The closing of a volume in my life's body of work.
Today marks the tenth anniversary of the day I published my first post on houseofprince.blogspot.com, which became this site. I have since published over 2,000 posts and countless others for my secret blog, my hyperlocal blog, my friends' and colleagues' blogs, and articles for my freelance gigs. A plethora of words.
But I always come back here, to this patch of space. It is my most consistent project I have kept up, the longest commitment to a creative work in my life. It's the longest time I've done anything besides be married to my husband.
In spring of 2005, as I finished decorating the nursery, I mused:
I often stand back and try to imagine what it will look like with a crib and a baby in it, and wonder if the baby will like it. What if he gets to be four years old and tells me "mommy, I hate this color"? Will I be heartbroken thinking of all the work I put into painting the room, or will I hate the color by then, too?
The baby grew into a boy and now he is on the far edge of puberty – he is thick, tall, solid. Yesterday I was putting sunscreen on him at the beach and noted how it no longer felt like putting sunscreen on my little boy. "Why don't you try doing this yourself," I offered. But he still needs me. He is only 9.
The Jig Is Up
Yet last week at school, goofing off instead of working on a project, Kyle Googled his name, and up popped the blog with pictures of him fresh from the womb. I gave up his anonymity on the internet long ago – in fact, I never considered preserving it for a second, nor for myself, or Brady, or even my husband. They have unwittingly come along with me into our virtual home on the internet where I have shared too much at times, perhaps, but always just enough to keep me sane. Time will tell if it was worth it.
Kyle was pleased to know that his – our – stories are on the internet and that people have read them. These are raw, real stories straight from the heart where readers, especially myself reading from the future, have witnessed my growth from a determined, intentional young producer ready to tackle her next project: ("Parenthood! Your call time is 3AM.") – to a shocked, sleep-deprived new mother, to a brand spokesperson, to a cranky veteran, to a professional writer, and back again, to myself.
Return To Me
Overall this blog has told the story of my evolution as a person. It is here that I found myself, truly. I grew up. I finally identified myself, and for my nature, which craves definition and at least the illusion of control, that knowledge is comforting. Click anywhere in these archives, and you will find me: I'm a stay at home mom, a fangirl, a social media junkie, a music lover, a working mother, an advice columnist, a party planner, a chef, an editor, a spokesperson, a comedian, a worried daughter, a grieving friend. I am one of these. I am all of these. I am none of these.
I think of this blog as my legacy now. If I took the site down, cached pages would still exist. Scraped content is out there somewhere, maybe not attributed to me, but they are my words nonetheless. The videos I've made, the articles I've written, the pictures others have taken of me, that's all out there, the digital ghost of my real life.
There's no use taking it down, starting a new site, reinventing. But I have indeed decided to change it.
The creative life: without it I am just another mother in a house making lunches. With it I am a superhero, a rock star, a poet.
It seems very fitting that next week, in the midst of an incredibly busy time for my family, I am taking an epic break from my life. I am going to Costa Rica for 8 days, ostensibly to attend a social media retreat, but then extending my stay for quality time with my friend in an exotic location, a departure from my normal, a salve for my wanderlust which has suffered quietly in the corner in a closet as I go about my suburban, provincial, necessary life.
It's an exclamation point at the end of an accidental 10-year epic. The closing of a volume in my life's body of work.
And a resetting. I'm not putting too much pressure on myself, but I do intend to come away from the experience with renewed purpose for my creative life. After all, it is the one that fuels the mundane, makes it all bearable. Without it I would be just another mother in a house making lunches. With it I am a superhero, a rock star, a poet.
Long live the House of Prince, in whatever form it takes.
And thank you, whoever you are, for reading.
This happened in 2008 and these are just a few of the soundbites from our 12 minutes together. I was the interviewer behind the camera. Here is the whole story.
Dear Mean Lady Who Was Speeding Through the Parking Lot and Because I Was Backing Out of My Space (Even Thought I Was Going Very Slowly and You Were Speeding) Our Insurance Companies are Putting All of the Liability on Me:
Did you get some email from the Universe that told you my family is on a budget and driving two 10-year-old cars that are barely worth fixing anyway? So it was your day to drive without caution and smack your fancy SUV into my little old plastic car?
You charged out of your car, all accusatory and angry, without a thought to my personal safety. When someone plows into a vehicle, a good person's response is "OMG are you okay?" But with me, you were just angry that this happened, and told me it was my fault, when it was clear to both of us that it was yours.
And now here I am, a mother on a budget, who was working a freelance job to make a little extra to help us get by, and my insurance is going to a) not cover the damages to my car and b) most likely increase. And you, a fancy woman with a luxury SUV and very expensive looking plastic surgery, get to have it all taken care of because of your lie. I hope there is a charitable side to you that inspires you to take the money you would be spending on the insurance increase that in a just world would be YOURS, and donate it to a shelter or better yet a diaper donation drive.
The end.

Only 11 percent of government employees use laptops, study finds
Many government information workers still don't have mobile technologies to support the kind of location flexibility that would make telework much easier, according to a new study by Forrester Research.
The study compared the responses of private and public-sector IT employees in Canada, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States. Approximately 700 of the survey respondents were North American and European local and federal government information workers, according to the Jan. 28 study.
Many of the respondents were managers.

OPM: Discuss telework options before weather hits
"As the February 2010 blizzard that hit Washington, D.C., showed, weather emergencies or other situations that prevent travel can paralyze a government whose workers are tied to a desk in an office building," the study said. "But today, North American and European governments trail other sectors in untethering their employees from a cubicle: 63 percent of government employees work in only one location compared to 56 percent of nongovernment workers."
The study also found that 87 percent of government employees use desktop computers or tools that "lock them to their office desks." Only 11 percent use laptops, which would allow them to work from home even if they don't have a permanent home office set up, and other mobile technologies such as iPads are "rare in government office computing environments."
In addition, only 9 percent of government information personnel have smart phones that they use for work, which lags behind the rest of the information workforce, according to the study. This contrasts with the 19 percent of government employees who use smart phones in their personal lives, the study said.
Cindy Auten, general manager for Telework Exchange, said the majority of federal employees spend at least a portion of their work day out of the office, and she encouraged agencies to provide workers with mobile technologies.
"As this report suggests, agencies can realize major productivity gains by equipping employees with mobile tools and support to enable them to conduct work at home, while traveling and at meetings in other locations," Auten said. "Rather than allowing federal employees to spend time out of the office unconnected, agencies should build mobile technologies into technology refreshes to replace desktop computers and other technology that ties employees to their desk."
Auten said the new telework law will help the federal government advance its telework policy and allow the maximum number of eligible employees to telework.

The Gov't should pay for telework capability. In the short and long run, it will pay off. Snow storms and other emergencies will enable the shut down of gov't buildings without the shut down of workers. The South has experienced snow as never before. Yet those of us who have laptops and wireless capabilty can continue to work.
Its a shame to pay tax dollars for devices that support the capability however you do not use them to the full potential. Most if not all non-emergency personnel can telework with the money that has been spent for remote access. I have worked for several different agencies in various capacities within IT and there has been billions of tax payers dollars spent on the remote access capabilities. However, since specific managers cannot seem to account for their employees the steps to mobility has been hindered.
Ya think maybe it's because of the threat of the elimination that telework would cause "middle management" (supervisor class) whose sole reasona for existing is to constantly count heads and watch clocks to see if somebody came in 5 minutes late and write them up ... that telework is not being promoted? Ya think?
I see how telework produces a high level of prodcutivity, saves money for the government, ultimately the tax payers and is more efficient. We just completed a teleconference call that that used to have people from all over the United States travel to 1 location. We just saved airline/hotel/per diem costs, and became more efficient. The other hours of the day are spent doing my local work. The process has not been totally perfected yet but it will be. Supervisors will comply with agency requirements and agency policy for telework. Some may not like working from home for whatever reason(s). I think it's a fit for some and not for others. I do understand how some supervisors can and do hinder the process for others in some agencies (this is truly sad) but I'm delighted with the progress we have made. (My superviosr does not care for telework and he has his reasons which are valid)
i think it's intentional. I was granted telework from EEO for disability (so much for disabled workers) and now am facing termination. Medical accommodation. Also, i was and still am held accountable for shortcomings in our network connections when working from home, which are slow, unreliable, and take twice as long to perform tasks with then in the office.
