Dennis Janson: Who made gluttony a career option?
CINCINNATI -- Hot tip to ISIS: No Hurry. The United States will eventually eat itself to death.
Sensational headline or dire prediction? America's enemies are often reminded of our resilience and determination to maintain our standing as the most civilized, industrialized, incentivized country on the face of the earth. Any more we are emerging as the must cellulited bunch on the planet. Our quest to test the strength of spandex is ever expanding.
We are FAT and getting FATTER.
Look what we glamorize as the pre-eminent event of the Fourth of July: A hot dog eating contest. Some guy named Joey Chestnut retained his title as the Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Champion by consuming 61 hot dogs in 10 minutes. For this he's lionized and idolized? For this an ESPN commentator declares it, (hopefully tongue in cheek) "the greatest achievement in the history of man." Leonardo da Vinci must be spinning in his grave like a Waring blender.
Gluttony is a career option. Competitive eating is now an organized, recognized pastime. Oh My!
And the outsized proportions of our some of our citizens also borders on hideous. Some appear to foster hopes of becoming human skin farms, generating more surface area for more and more garish tattoos. Like reclaiming land from the sea — for more fast food outlets.
So it comes as no great surprise that a virtual tsunami of diabetes is sweeping the nation. I'm as guilty as the next guy.
I was diagnosed as being pre-diabetic six months ago. The 'D' word. That gets your attention. But apparently not enough people hear those foreboding syllables. CNN cites an 8 percentage annual increase in the incidence of diabetes in America. The only largely preventable affliction to boast such robust growth (no pun intended). And it is solely a product of our insatiable appetite.
Take me for instance. I cannot eat one scoop of ice cream. What's the point? I am a one-is-too-many, fifty-is-not-enough kind of guy.
I pray for moderation. It has has seldom if ever been delivered.
But there is hope.
I'm due for my checkup this week and will proudly mount the scale at my doctor's office, 14 pounds lighter than when I last burdened it. If I can do it, anyone can. There are no championships to be garnered by knocking off a few pounds but as I've said before and will again:
Nothing tastes as good as a pair of pants that fits, feels.
Or to hear that you have —if only temporarily —retreated from the d-word's lethal door.
And that's my 2 cents.
Dennis Janson's "My 2 cents" column is published every Monday and Wednesday on WCPO.com. His video commentary airs every Friday at 6 p.m.

Based on 2 reviews
Help make it easier for other Avvo users to choose the right lawyer by sharing your experience with this attorney. It's fast, simple, and safe.
Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
I was recommended to Patrick Clancy by a public defender who spoke very highly of him as other attorneys here have. My review is based on my experience with his firm and his associate William (Bill) Daley who served as a representative for Mr. Clancy:
After an initial free consultation of my case I was advised that they (The Innocence Legal Team) believed I had a good case in having felony counts reduced to misdemeanors. Although no exact time frame was given the requested retainer was $5,000.00. I was told that itemized invoices would be provided regularly and that whatever was left from the initial retainer after all legal work was completed would be returned to me. If additional funds were needed I would also be advised. Unfortunately neither of these common practices were ever followed. I called and left voice mails which were not returned and would email for status regularly but was never informed as to the current status of billing. At one point I called the 1-800 number after leaving a voice mail only to be greeted by Bill who at first didn't recall who I was. I was obviously not a priority or a memorable client despite having paid the requested retainer.
After five months of phone calls and emails requesting status (but not receiving any accounting documentation) Mr. Daley advised me to retain the services of an Investigator who worked in Sacremento, nearly 80 mile from where the person of interest was to be interviewed. The PI failed at finding the person via basic methods like myspace or facebook where their presence is easily obtained. Per Mr. Daley the case rested upon the PI's efforts and nothing could be done until he completed his tasks. So I was patient and waited for such while his agreement with this individual ate up an additional $700.
After waiting another fruitless two months I decided to cancel the engagement and requested an invoice. I requested this for nearly two months before being advised only $1,616 of my retainer remained and finally received an invoice. I expressed to Mr Daley how displeased I was and how difficult this money was to earn for me. Specifically I previously told him that it took me a year to save up this much money. I attempted to appeal to his conscientious as a former incarcerated person with limited employment possibility but he seemed aloof or obtuse to my circumstance as a client needing his assistance. At one point Mr. Daley even attempted to abdicate fiscal responsibility by saying that he did not have the authority to cut a check to me. But the fact is that if he would have kept me apprised of how much of my retainer had been used as well as how, then the situation wouldn't have occurred to begin with.
After Mr. Daley sent me the remainder of my check I was still holding out for him to make it right. He seems like a very nice person, so this is purely focused on the business practice of the Innocence Legal Team of which Patrick Clancy's name is the in-court practicing attorney. Upon receiving the check and being quite disappointed I looked up William Daley on the internet and found startling past CA Bar Disciplines which closely reflected my own experience. For this I believe others should be clearly informed of and refrain from dealing with this firm. Many of us are already server eternal social sentences post-incarceration. We deserve to be represented better than this. Patrick Clancy allows this type of business practice. Perhaps if I were white and had more money things would have been different. I would have been deserving of updated invoices or status updates. Unfortunately for me that just wasn't the case. After roughly $4000 and nine months, I have nothing to show for any efforts from this firm.
I have worked with other lawyers in the past but have never been so moved as to leave a review as I have with this experience.
Patrick Clancy is a great lawyer ,
and I would highly recommend him to anybody
falsely accused of abuse.
I did a lot of research to find a lawyer in this particular area of law and was
very impressed with his whole team.
He sent out his investigator , to interview us
(my husband & I), probably to be sure that he was not taking on a client who was an actual abuser.
He handled the entire issue with one phone call to the DA on my husbands behalf,
instead of my husband going in for an interview with out any representation.
Which could have had life changing results.
None of them good,of course.
It was devastating enough for my spouse to deal with the emotional aspect of being falsely accused,but thanks to Mr. Clancy,at least
my husband didn't have to do so in jail .
I wanted to post my review of Mr. Clancy because he is a true advocate for the falsely accused and also for families that find themselves in that situation.

That's really a tough call! In the b&w, the high contrast is really dramatic and creates a great mood. But in the color, the scenery really POPS!
If I had to pick a favorite, I would probably pick the color. The mountains really draw me in with the color shot.
But with the theme of the shoot, I would probably pick the b&w. My eye follows the road more in the b&w and the high drama effect of the clouds really shines through in this edit.
I don't know if that helps, but there's my $0.02 worth anyway.

Like our modest logo says, Forest Glen is "Chicago's Finest Community." A gem of a neighborhood on Chicago's Northwest Side, Forest Glen boasts the convenience of the city with the peacefulness of the suburbs and the neighborliness of the country. Naturally secluded and well-defined, Forest Glen contains about 550 households, almost all single-family homes.
This site is sponsored by the Forest Glen Community Club, founded in the 1920s, and active in bringing Forest Glen neighbors together for social and civic causes. Indeed, the Community Club and the relationships it fosters are in large part why the neighbors in Forest Glen are so friendly and willing to help each other. To read the minutes from our last meeting, click here.
If you live in Forest Glen, please use this site as your primary way to stay in touch with upcoming activities—including the all-important snowplowing updates! Also, feel free to email your suggestions, concerns and bravos to your Community Club officials.
If you don't yet live in Forest Glen, this site will provide a flavor of life in the Glen so you can sense whether that's right for you. If so, we'll look forward to calling you "neighbor" very soon.
President – Robert Murphy
Vice Pres. – Eric Brodersen
Treasurer – Jennifer Nykaza
Recording Secretary – Michael Nelson
Communication Secretary – Chris Puccini
Sergeant at Arms – Randy Hara
Please join us for the Community Club's annual meeting, the kick off of our 2014-15 dues drive and our annual officer elections. Every year the FGCC holds officer elections for:
Vice president
Recording Secretary
Communications Secretary
Sargent at Arms
Positions are open to all dues payings Club members. Nominations can be put forward at the meeting or you can contact us at email@example.com to be added to the ballot. There will also be community updates and more. HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
As we approach our October Annual Community Meeting I thought this would be a good time to take stock in what we have accomplished this year and what challenges lie ahead for Forest Glen. On October 14th I will be stepping down as your president and a new president will be elected to represent Forest Glen's interests and to lead you forward. It has been an honor being elected to this position and to work for Forest Glen these past three years. This has been a hectic, busy and unprecedented year for Forest Glen Community Club.
We began this year by being pummeled by Chicago's third heaviest snowfall on record. When our plow funds were almost depleted you stepped up big time. We brought in over $6,000 in dues and donations to ensure that the plows could keep going. In 2013-14 we had the highest number of Forest Glen homes paying their dues ever. THANK YOU! In April the community voted to increase our yearly dues to $30 to bring us in line with expenses and surrounding communities and to guard against more brutal winters ahead. This was the FGCC's first dues increase since 2007. After the tough winter things took off in the Glen.
2013-2014 highlights include:
What an amazing year indeed!
In addition to these accomplishments there are efforts that your Community Club will continue to advocate for including:
Thank you all again for your hard work, support and commitment to your community. You are truly what makes Forest Glen Chicago's Finest Community!
Thank you,
Robert Murphy
President, FGCC 2011-14

For the past 25 years, the Forest Glen Community Club has set up a safety corner on the corner of Balmoral and LaPorte as a way to protect the children of the neighborhood during their Trick or Treat adventures.

Beyond Detroit Works
Detroit Works recently released its framework for the redevelopment of the city. The project began two years ago amid a contentious series of town meetings following Mayor Dave Bing's pronouncement that he intended to "shrink the city" and relocate people. The mounting public criticism of the effort forced a major rethinking of the approach. Highly paid consultants were quietly shifted into the background a ...Read more ›

Photographer's Note
I visited the "Coptic City of the Dead" where the have many tombs. A family will build a crypt in which the family is to spend eternity until Christs return. The grave yard was remarkable in that many people Copts were enjoying picnics with the dead relatives. Everything was quite festive!

Hi Giovanni
A very nice capture of such a unique place. I like the yellows and blues in this, they contrast very nicely. And great note too!
PaulVDV (21661) 2012-03-05 6:49
Hello Giovanni,
There are effectively several very special cemeteries in the world where the tombs are monuments. This Coptic grave looks like a small temple.
Very beautiful architectural details.
Good view upwards.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Giovanni
Good warm cold color contrasts between the blue sky & yellow red tinted stone with reasonable sharpness. I would clone out the specks in the sky or just blur them until they are no longer visible. 20 pixels should do it. Tfs!

When Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) voted against the authorization of military force in Syria earlier this week in committee, he joined the other leading GOP contenders for president in 2016 — Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) — in opposing military intervention.
It's an interesting and stunning reversal that it's now considered the politically safe decision for Republican lawmakers to vote against war. They may have noticed how Hillary Clinton's presidential hopes were dashed in 2008 after she voted to authorize the Iraq war.
They may also have seen how Paul has pulled much of the party toward his non-intervention philosophy. In the process, he's won the support of many younger voters.
However, with three lawmakers lining up against intervention, it does create a rather big opening for another Republican from the Establishment-side of the party in the event that the military strikes do actually achieve their goal.
That person could be New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), though he's trying very hard not to take a position.
The crisis in Syria has kicked off a serious and important debate within the Republican Party that will ultimately play out in the 2016 GOP primaries. It's going to be fascinating to watch.

I recently attended the Mobile HCI 2014 conference for a workshop on Socio-technical systems and work-home boundaries. I presented a paper on Work-Home Boundaries and Mobile Technologies in the Lives of Socially Excluded Young Women in the UK which drew on some of the early findings from my research. The workshop bought together a great group of researchers looking at how mobile technologies have enabled more porous boundaries between work and life, and the positives and negatives of this development.
"Its my baby! I can't live without it"Standard
As academics we have a responsibility to communicate our ideas and findings to a broader audience. Posters are a great way to do this by making us capture key aspects of our research in a visually accessible format. I've just created one for the Postgraduate Conference for the Centre for Research in Computing at the Open University where I am based.
The quote "Its my baby! I can't live without it" was a response from one young woman when I asked her how she felt about her phone. We both laughed when she said this – knowing that she was only half joking.
In my fieldwork I'm discovering a lot about our feelings of love, fear, resentment and addiction to our mobile devices and the central role they play in young women's lives. For some women they are their sole means to access the internet: for homeless women they are invaluable for staying connected with friends, family and support agencies.
Whilst my research draws on ideas such as the capability approach, the 'big question' is whether mobile devices are a good or a bad thing in the lives of socially excluded young women. I hope this graphic shows something of how I'm going about answering this question.
How mobile devices might be engineered for addictionStandard
I've been wondering why the women I've been interviewing are still using Facebook so much. Research on 16-18 year olds in London found that it is basically dead to them. Yet most of the women I'm interviewing (who are between 18-24) are still looking at Facebook a lot: often the first app they're looking at after they wake up. This doesn't mean they're enjoying it – on the contrary they talk a lot about how its become boring, a routine. They're also using a lot of other platforms – WhatsApp, SMS, Instagram – so its not a question of being loyal to a particular platform.
Reading a brilliant article about Addictive Technologies illuminated this issue for me in that it talks about how the platform is engineered to get you addicted to the 'serotonin' it emulates.
"Facebook doesn't just want to catalyze interactions. It wants to catalyze emotions. It wants you to have the same feelings–the positive ones at least–that you have when you cuddle up to friends and family in person. The company shorthand for this is "serotonin," the neurotransmitter that sparks feelings of happiness."
There's lots of theory to help us understand what's going on here – the technical codes in the design of the software and devices that reflect the cultural horizon of our society, the network effects that pulled the women onto Facebook in the first place – but this is an opportunity for a reflexive moment. I need to look more deeply at what we're doing when we choose to look at a particular app, fiddle about with something on our phones, check Twitter again for a little serotonin buzz. I want to understand how these urges and 'addictions' then impact on decisions we make about what else we are doing with our phones; how much we spend on them and why we choose particular devices over others.
Social exclusion and smartphone povertyStandard
The women I've been interviewing for my fieldwork are between the ages of 16-24 and if they are in receipt of benefits they might get job seekers allowance of around £250 a month. Many of them are on smartphone contracts of anything up to £36 a month; approximately 15% of their income. Lots of factors can add to these costs: when a relationship ends women might find themselves paying off contracts for ex-partners in addition to their own contract.
Many women report unexpected debts related to smartphone use: going over their minutes limits on their contracts because they need to make a lot of calls to find work, or going over their data limits when they're using a phone as a hotspot. Smartphone contracts can be very complex and the way that information is provided by operators can feel opaque: women complain of not being able to access basic information on what they are paying per minute when they go over their talk allowance. Even the apps designed to help manage costs on a phone can be problematic; failing to update frequently enough for people who need to micromanage their call costs.
When I started my fieldwork I had no idea of how big a role money was going to play in the story of young women and mobile devices but it keeps on coming up as an important theme: broken contracts, smartphone related debt and expensive devices. Unlike our engagement with the energy companies, where public opinion and the work of consumer champions has made some impact, mobile operators don't seem to be under the same sort of scrutiny. Although mobile phones (and in the case of 16-24 year olds this usually means a smartphone) are a necessary utility they seem to be placing an enormous financial burden on some of our most vulnerable young people.
I'm going to carry on talking to women about money and smartphones as I think this is an important issue, in the meantime it would be great to see more public debate and scrutiny about how some of the most vulnerable members of society are impacted by smartphone debt.
Code Red, Aunt Irma visiting and apps for women?Standard
I've not been blogging recently as I'm deep in fieldwork but I couldn't resist this.
It was international women's day recently, so what better time to learn about an incredible new app. Yes. Code Red. "A survival guide to her monthly cycle. Period." This app is designed not to empower women to take control of their fertility, but instead to provide men with a day by day indication of their partner's likely mood based on their menstrual cycle: "Code Red Alert – Warns you that the Her-ricane is coming". Maybe there are some women out there would would be deeply touched by the consideration demonstrated by their partner installing this app. But you know, I just wouldn't. Even though it does offer "Links to local vendors for presents, groceries and goods (via Google Maps)". (Worrying side thought: Are we now going to see Google harvesting our menstrual cycle data, offering us targeted ads at particular times of the month?)
The app creators say that ""Every month, women go through the same ups and downs, but the men in our lives never seem to catch on" and I can see that it might be helpful for some couples. I'm interviewing young women about what they are doing with their smartphones at the moment, and accessing health information in a confidential way is a very positive aspect of the role these devices are playing in their lives.
But getting their boyfriends to track their period? Not so much. Via the fascinating Menstruation Research blog I was reminded of the hilarious IT crowd episode where Jen is forced to euphemise her PMT symptoms "I've fallen to the Communists". I think I'd rather stick with the old crimson tide.
In light of International Women's Day a lot of other issues are raised around gender and technology by this app: what does it mean when men are tracking women's biology on their smartphones? How are these intimate relationships being mediated by technology? But I'll leave those for another day.
Opening up to debates: capabilities, affordances and consequentialismStandard
Last week I presented some thoughts on capability theory and digital inclusion at the Open University's Society and Information Research Group.
There was a great discussion afterwards and I'd like to thank the individuals involved for their contribution. Some issues raised include the following:
- What do we know about the way in which smartphones might be making young people vulnerable to crime?
- Are 'walled gardens' like Facebook appealing environments to young people with limited 'digital capabilities'?
- In our gradations of digital inclusion, in future years will we be seeing more and more refuseniks who are sophisticated manipulators of their online persona's – individuals who are politically opposed to the increasing encroachment of surveillance technologies into everyday life?
- How might we use the theories of Foucault and Latour to understand the power dynamics experienced by marginalised young women in their interactions with the state?
All of these will feed into my research at a later date. A couple of issues were raised which I want to share some brief thoughts on here.
How do we understand the relationship between affordances and capabilities?
This last question feels very cogent for me right now as I feel that both terms provide a means to articulate the dynamics between a technology, individual agency and the state. It was suggested during the discussion that affordances ("functional and relational aspects which frame, while not determining, the possibilities for agentic action in relation to an object" (Hutchby 2001) 444) might be a means to directly interrogate a technology's use, and that capabilities might complement this by enabling us to understand the socio-technical framework – the imbrications of society and technology, and the structures (network operators, software designers etc) which shape our uses of technology.
How does capability theory handle people's 'competing' rights?
A further discussion looked at the ethical underpinnings of capability theory: the challenges of 'ranking rights'. Alexander (2008) describes Sen's theory as 'broad consequentialism: a way of looking at the consequences of exercising rights. This 'pluralistic consequentialism' suggests that a a variety of fundamental principles can be taken into account when assessing a situation or a policy. This is set against the monistic model of utilitarian philosophy which suggests that only utility can be taken into account. Alexander shows how rights and capabilities are not equivalent – but are interdependent so without capabilities you cannot exercise rights.
All in all this discussion showed me the value of opening up work for debate and discussion at an early stage, and reminded me how lucky I am to be part of such a vibrant and challenging intellectual environment at the Open University.

Universal credit, assisted digital and some unanswered questionsStandard
I've been trying to pull some threads together in reaction to some recent reports reflecting changes in the structure and delivery of benefits and also a new report on the challenges faced by young people seeking work. How are the digital channels involved in the systems supporting young people on benefits and into work playing out against our stereotype of the young person as digital native? How might this play out differently for young men and women?
From April 2013 the government is introducing a new system of 'universal credit': replacing income support, jobseeker's allowance, employment and support allowance or housing benefit. The DWP claims the new Universal Credit system will: "improve work incentives, supporting a dynamic labour market simplify the system, making it easier for people to understand, and easier and cheaper for staff to administer, reduce in-work poverty and cut back on fraud and error". Yet these proposed changes have come under attack from various angles.
The Women's Budget Group suggests that the method by which the universal credit is paid to one member of a household may exacerbate existing gender inequalities by concentrating financial resources and power into the hands of one person.
The union Unison is has warned " Many people who will move to Universal Credit are socially excluded, and are on the wrong side of the digital divide." The Government's response to the challenge challenge is Assisted Digital – a " range of developments, strategies, and actions aimed at ensuring that no one is left behind" in the shift to 'Digital by Default' government.
The government is also considering the use of social media sites to allow people to access public services – including benefits – which could be seen as benefitting young people who are heavy users of these sites. However in my role as Mobiles Specialist at Tactical Tech I'm lucky enough to be part of a critical response to the opaque and confusing security settings on these sites. There are multiple reasons to be concerned about the privacy issues of this process: most people do not use particularly robust security for their social media accounts and we can't be sure that there won't be data leakage given that Facebook is scanning users email for links.
A report from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation released this month highlights the multiple challenges facing young people looking for work and shifts to digital channels are impacting on jobseekers: "The recession has affected job supply in all areas. intense competition means advertised jobs can be filled within days or even hours…. even well-qualified candidates can face repeated rejection…. jobseekers without constant access to the internet are at a disadvantage". The report highlights how employers are increasingly using the internet for recruitment and how young jobseekers need to be able to search daily and respond to vacancies quickly.
Lets not forget that gender matters too in internet use – Hargittai's study of digital inequality in the US 18- to 26-year-old American adults, shows that "women are less likely to claim knowledge about online terminology and features, and those who use the Web infrequently also report lower levels of know-how about it." (Hargittai, E. & Hinnant, A. 2008. Digital Inequality Differences in Young Adults' Use of the Internet. Communication Research, 35, 602-621.)
So to bring the threads together – there are major shifts not only in the channels used to help young people find work and get support whilst out of work, but also in the types of benefits they will be receiving. Again – young people who are online at home, and have the cognitive skills to use the internet effectively to search for work and respond quickly to vacancies are at a clear advantage.
I'm reminded again of the "..significant minority of young people who are not able to navigate or connect properly with the online world" cited in the recent report by the Oxford Internet Institute and the Nominet Trust. I'm thinking about the people who fall in between the gaps – like the young people using the library for internet access quoted in this report "One day I was doing that assignment; there was a deadline; (…) and then suddenly the library closed and they told me to log off. And I was just—I told her, but she was like, "No, it is closing time, I cannot give you more time."
I can't bring these threads together because I'm just left with more questions: What is the long term future for assisted digital? Does the government really going to trust Facebook to be part of benefit provision in the UK? Where is the Smartphone in all of this? Are men and women experiencing this inequality differently?
