Throughout the twentieth century, there were striking increases in the incidences of many chronic inflammatory disorders in the rich developed countries. These included autoimmune disorders such as Type 1 diabetes and multiple sclerosis. Although genetics and specific triggering mechanisms such as molecular mimicry and viruses are likely to be involved, the increases have been so rapid that any explanation that omits environmental change is incomplete. This chapter suggests that a series of environmental factors, most of them microbial, have led to a decrease in the efficiency of our immunoregulatory mechanisms because we are in a state of evolved dependence on organisms with which we co-evolved (and that had to be tolerated) as inducers of immunoregulatory circuits. These organisms ("Old Friends") are depleted from the modern urban environment. Rather than considering fetal programming by maternal microbial exposures, neonatal programming, the hygiene hypothesis, gut microbiota, and diet as separate and competing hypotheses, I attempt here to integrate these ideas under a single umbrella concept that can provide the missing immunoregulatory environmental factor that is needed to explain the recent increases in autoimmune disease.

The addition of Salem into the family was seamless, especially when you consider the timing of losing Hank and going through a major family transition this summer. I've wanted a cat for years and Salem came along just in time.
But now another one has come along and he's not interested in leaving.
"Little Buddy" is what I call him, refusing to give him a real name to eliminate the hope of him coming indoors. Trust me, I'm fighting it. I shoo him away when he tries to run in and I've even flipped off the patio light and walked away while he sat staring at me with those affectionate eyes.
It's cruel, especially since he and Salem get along famously. They touch noses, chase each other around the yard and sit together on the patio every night. I frankly don't know what to do. I just know Salem's giving him the low-down about life inside the Big House – two helpings of food per day, sleeping under the comforter at night and hot tubbing whenever you choose.
But what the little stray doesn't realize is there's another side to being "owned."
Like dressing up for holiday festivities. This could be you, Little Buddy. This could be you.

Good for what it does, but be careful...

Member since
While it does give exceptionally small rolling resistance, which is killer for those hardcore climbers out there, be sure to get the correct width to match the type of biking being done. I got a 26x2.1 width tire for 50/50 XC/AM riding and while it climbed superbly and descended well in grippy terrain, the loose stuff (very loose rock or sand) going downhill tended to shake the High Roller at that width. I'm sure that a wider version of this tire would give a better feel on the looser DH conditions though.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section.

As noted in today's column, I received more icebox recollections than I could use. But before we close the door on this, here are just a few more.
"The kids always followed the truck and the iceman would give them ice chips." — Dorothy Tait
"I grew up in the 30s and 40s near Bonners Ferry and I remember very well the icebox my folks had on our back porch. We had a pond on our farm and my dad harvested ice in blocks every winter and stored it in sawdust in our ice house by the pond." – Rosalyn Clark
"As a child growing up in Spokane I remember running out to the ice truck to see if we could get a few ice chips. Ice men were kind and we enjoyed this treat." — Robert Wilson
"I used to visit my grandmother in a small town in Iowa. Her icebox stood in the kitchen next to the wall-mounted telephone with a handcrank on the side of it." — Gary Polser
"My grandmother, who lived on West Broadway, had one on her back porch. The man who delivered ice I can picture in my mind to this day." — Patricia Collier
"When my family moved home from Seattle to Spokane after WWII we lived with my grandmother. She had an electric refrigerator but she also kept ice in the built-in icebox in her ample pantry. The horse-pulled ice wagon stopped at several homes on our block on East Everett Avenue, attracting every kid in the neighborhood to the back of the wagon to grab a long sliver of ice." — Isabelle Green
"The people that lived across the creek from our farm had an icebox. Oh, that cold milk was wonderful." — Joanne Lindley
"My husband, Chuck, was raised in Beech Bottom, West Virginia. He recalls the opening in the kitchen wall that the iceman would fill with a big chunk of ice every other day. Food to be kept cold would then be put around it. He refers to it as their hillbilly refrigerator." — Kathy Huggins
"I still remember having to empty the pan under our icebox that collected the water from the melting ice." — Gerald Hartley
"We were either too rural or — which I suspect — too poor to have ice delivered." — Chet Nelson
"In late 1940 or early 1941, my younger brother and I decided to help mom in the kitchen. When she told us the ice man was delivereing that morning we literally emptied everything in the icebox onto the kitchen floor. Not very helpful as we were 3 and 2 year olds enjoying the mess." — Bill Kaufman
"We had an icebox when my mom and I lived in Coplen Park in Hillyard in 1946. The iceman delivered but if you missed him you had to go to the icehouse in Hillyard to pick up a block of ice. Well, I rode my bike up there and brought the ice home in my bike basket. It was hard steering but I made it. I was 12. My kids roll their eyes when I tell this story but tell it anyway." — Joan Matlack
"Our icebox was old and corroded and you could hear the ice melt on a hot summer's day. Well, it was something to do while waiting the REQUIRED hour after lunch before we could go swimming." — Cathi Rawley
Let's pick up where today's print column left off.
"My cat, Ed, was smart enough and fast enough to figure out how to catch a hummingbird last summer," wrote Karen Mobley. "Unfortunately, it got stuck and I had to do the Heimlich to get the beak out before he choked to death."
Let that be a lesson to you, Ed. Stop killing birds.
"Several years ago, I had a cat with an injured leg," wrote Cathy McCoy. "We babied and fussed over that cat for several days until, one day, we noticed that she was limping on the wrong leg. Of course, if she had been truly smart she would have been limping on the leg that had been injured."
Maybe she thought switching legs would earn her even better treatment.
"Every morning I get up and do some exercises which include bending over and touching the floor," wrote Ken Otteman. "Mittens the cat comes from wherever she is in the house and stretches and rolls over each time I touch the floor. If I do not rub her back she gives me a look and a mew. When I get down on the floor to do roll-ups and push-ups she is right there waiting for her back, chin and ear rub. How many people have an exercise coach cat?"
Usually their role as personal trainers involves demonstrating how to take power naps.
"Lilly knocks on doors when she wants in," wrote Becky Rainer.
And she knocks on her humans when she wants out.
"I think my cat should be considered the smartest cat ever just for the fact that she lived for 23 years," wrote Marilyn Frei. "I finally had to put Kev down earlier this year after she had a spinal stroke. She spent the first 11 years of her life on a farm where she had to outsmart coyotes, cattle, tractors and trucks. After moving to Spokane she had to learn how to be a city (mostly indoor) cat. Kev had a unique instinct to be a comforter and companion for me following several surgeries and during any illness or injury. At these times she would stay by my side all day and all night, sleeping on my bed or snuggling with me on the couch or in a chair. Other times she was aloof and kept to herself. I miss her."
That's not the first time I have heard that some felines seem to know when they are needed.
"Our cat Lisette is 13 years old," wrote Michelle Batten. "Every evening while we are watching TV she wakes up and comes into the room and jumps up on the arm of the sofa beside my husband. She puts both paws on his shoulder and then strokes his face with her right paw until he gets up and gives her some wet food. She has been doing this for several years. She is good."
Sounds like she has her routine down pat.
"Our cat Maow is smart because he is curious, knows when it's time to eat, and when to rest up for his next adventure," said Steve Powers.
Sounds like a pretty good schedule.
"Hairy, one of two resident cats, is smart enough," wrote Ellen Sherriffs. "He's smart enough to have a position with excellent benefits and a better retirement package than my own. All he has to do is smell like a cat to deter the garden mice from moving in. The balance of his day is spent sleeping on his face."
Another good schedule.
"My 17-year-old kitty could retrieve the ball and meow with the ball in her mouth," wrote Gale O'Connor. "She also could walk with us down to the lake and back up with us, which was about one mile. Many sweet memories of her."
Back in the early 1980s, Mae Greenwood once walked door-to-door at night, soliciting donations for a charity. Her husband had to stay home with an infant. So Mae took her dog on a leash.
"At the second or third home I noticed that my cat, Smokey, was walking along with us. Many neighbors commented on my protectors and were amazed that Smokey sat and waited on their porch and then walked off with the dog and me to the next house. He was a very smart and devoted cat."
Marilyn Courrier's cat, Shadow, once went inside the neighbor's house, which also has a pet door. The guy who lived there noticed Shadow in his kitchen. "Our neighbor says the cat looked at him, looked at the closed cat door, looked at him and bounded to the cat door, nudged the door up with his nose and leaped through the flap to freedom."
So do cats form the thought, "I'm bustin' outta here"?
Perhaps with a bit of keyboarding help, a cat named Grady sent an email to The Slice noting that he was smart enough to adopt John and Ruth Williams after a previous owner dumped him beside a dirt road. "Today I live the Life Riley," said Grady.
If only all pets were so lucky..
Here's a sampling of responses to the question about how many people still use paper highway maps.
"We just returned from a 4,100 mile trip to Iowa and Indiana and yes, we used paper maps all the way," wrote Jerry Hargitt. "We do have a GPS that we keep handy in a bag in case we need it, but we didn't. When I plan a new trip, I get out my collection of paper maps. Nothing else will do."
"I always keep AAA highway maps in my car (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, BC and Alberta), but my husband doesn't," wrote Sharon Forsyth. "Neither of us have vehicles with satellite navigation systems, but we both have smart phones. Problem is, there's miles and miles of country in these parts that are out of cell range. Never fails that when we lose cell range and need a map, we're in my husband's car."
"I've been with friends who have GPS devices and it has steered us off course several times," wrote Janet Culbertson. "I'll take my old, torn, paper, fold-up over that thing-a-ma-jig any time."
"We have a box full of maps down in the basement," wrote Jeri Hershberger. "I refuse to get a GPS. I do not want to take away my ability to read a map. That is a long-lost art, just like thank-you notes."
"I love maps," wrote Mary Shelly. "I have 39 folding maps."
"I would guess that most folks my age still use the folded up highway maps, as I do," wrote retiree Bill Mahaney. "I remember when they were free at any gas station…Online maps, however, are quite useful for very specific directions within a city."
"I still use fold-up maps," wrote Terry Martin. "Neither my husband nor I have a 'smart' phone, and I don't trust online maps on the computer."
"Each October when we prepare to leave for the winter in Mesa, Ariz., I pick up new maps at the AAA office for Idaho, Montana, Utah and Arizona," wrote Sherry Bye. "With fine point pen, I mark every motel, restaurant and gas station that we frequent for the 1,400 mile trip."
"I appreciate using a computer map and its directions," wrote Laura Prewitt. "But it's just not as satisfying as seeing all the ways to get someplace."
"My grandmother, who is well into her 80s, considers maps nearly an art form," wrote Keri Whittekiend.
"I still love highway maps and always use them on trips," wrote Patricia Gaver.
"I love a good paper map," wrote Lois Farnsworth-Whysong. "I do use Google maps once in a while if I need specific directions like to the Hampton Inn in Walla Walla, but overall I rely on paper maps."
"My friend, Bernice, and I just returned from a 3,400 mile trip to Arizona," wrote Mary Johnson. "We started with a new, beautiful paper map. She had to retire it because of all the new openings in the various folds. But it did us well there and back."
There were more, but you get the idea.
Let's wrap this up with a report from Slice reader Jan Goss.
"We were traveling back from Seattle after our first cruise. As soon as we approached eastern Washington, it was clear that much of it was on fire. Huge billows of smoke filled the skies near Ellensburg.
"As we have friends who lived in one of the canyons nearby, we decided to drive up the highway to see if they were in trouble and needed help. After a few miles of driving, a state trooper whizzed past us and proceeded to close the highway in front of us. I happened to be driving and drove off the shoulder to a level place to park and get a better view before turning around. Immediately, we were accosted by people in other cars who had no maps and no idea how to reach their destinations other than this particular highway.
"We had to chuckle as we drew diagrams and handed out paper maps to help them."
Today's column asked readers if they have had a flag stolen.
Ray Dickelman, who lives in the South Perry neighborhood, had an answer.
"We have had five flags stolen in over 20 years."
"The best was Bob Dylan with Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, 1987 tour," wrote Bob Witte of Sandpoint. "Worst was Joe Cocker. It was in a small club and he threw up on stage. I've been trying to forget it ever since."
Darlene Brice said the concert she enjoyed most was in the early summer of 1964, in San Bernardino, Calif. The Rolling Stones opened for The Righteous Brothers."Both groups delivered a great concert but the Rolling Stones rocked the house. I became a Rolling Stones fan at that long-ago event."
Laura Parker puts Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin shows, both in San Francisco, at the top of her list.
"The worst concert? That has to be the recent Cowboy Junkies concert that I had won tickets for through NPR. I had heard of the band but had never heard their music. So while my friend and I were trying in vain to get into their style of music we had behind us the concert-goers from hell. You know these people. They sit right behind you and talk loudly through all the songs while striking their feet against your chair backs enumberable times. Oh, and at one point this gal takes off her shoes and drapes her stocking feet over the arm of the chair next to me. Really! We left shortly after intermission when it seemed like the female lead singer had just shot heroin or chugged a bottle of whiskey or took some sleeping pills or all three as she proceeded to lay her head over her arm and microphone stand and sing really sl-o-o-o-o-w."
Dirk Stratton had an idea about what I could have said to the little boy across the street who asked me if I was a stranger.
"Yes, I am a stranger, because are we not all strangers to one another? Can anyone honestly say, and even more so, honestly believe that any of us can hope to fathom the mysteries that dwell beneath the facile masks all humans wear to fend off the terror of existence? And are we not, in the end, strangers to our very selves? Do not our own thoughts, feelings, and actions remain so incomprehensible as to render Socrates' famous dictum 'Know thyself' a sad charade, a pitiful flag we wave in a futile attempt to pretend that insight is possible, that understanding is achievable, that life makes sense, despite the fact that the only evidence we have that something we call 'the self' even exists is flimsy, contradictory, ineffable, lost? So, yes, I am a stranger, and might I ask in return, one stranger to another, Who might you be?"
Check out a few other suggestions in Thursday's Slice.
"My back yard chef is working on his Bud Light," wrote Alice Spray.
"I know I'm a little late to the game, especially since The Slice today said No More Pets on the Bed (items)," wrote Karyn Christner.
"My Yu kitty was due to have babies any day so I set up a nice 'nest' next to the bed for her. Middle of the night something wakes me up. Something wet on my head. Yes, a freshly-delivered kitten.
"Have that with your morning coffee, Lynda Post of Moscow!"
Now, now. Let's play nice.
A reader told about getting in the trunk of a car with some friends who were sneaking into a drive-in movie years ago.
She freaked.
Before it was over, she had kicked loose the back seat of the car.
Here are a few more answers to the question about readers discovering that they were/are claustrophobic.
"Back in the late 1970s we were trying to get our son Wesley to do an MRI," wrote Ken Stout. "He was scared of it and I volunteered to slide in to show him how safe it was. I told them in no uncertain terms to slide me back out."
Jeffrey Neuberger never thought of himself as claustrophobic. An MRI forced him to reassess.
Ray Blowers recalled a different sort of experience. "It happened eons ago when I was just a tot, but I still shudder when the frightening episode comes back to me. It had to do with a discarded area rug on our front porch. Some neighborhood bullies decided to roll me up in it just for laughs. I was hysterical by the time my mother rescued me."
Barbara Lee was touring a network of caves in South Africa in 1970. "You were supposed to go down one part of the cave, go through a tube (a very small tube) and come back up the other side. I was certain I was stuck in the tube and would never see the light of day again. Needless to say, a great deal of panic ensued and I have NEVER been back in a cave since."
Diane Newcomer was about 11 when visiting a series of caves in Oregon. "We came to a place where the guide told us it was our last chance to leave the tour. I stayed, being too shy to leave my parents. To this day, I think I made the wrong choice."
Medical Lake's Douglas Jasmer shared this. "We were driving in Austria and entered the Arlberg tunnel. I don't know how long it was but because it had a couple of curves you could not see the other end. I had this feeling of it pressing down on us. I had to get out. The feeling left when I could see the opening coming up. We took another route back to our hotel."
Once on a camping trip, Julie Prafke was sleeping in the back of a covered pickup truck. "I was sleeping next to the cab of the truck with our daughters in the middle and my husband on the outside. Sometime during the night I awoke to find myself wedged against the wall with no clearance on either side of me and the roof right above my head. I thought I'd been buried alive."
Getting stuck by herself on an elevator in England helped Debbie Kitselman realize confined spaces were not her cup of tea.
And Bridget Freeman learned a lesson when she was a small child. "My many older siblings and I used to play a really stupid sort of tag in our basement on cement floors. We put zipped sleeping bags over our heads and proceeded to bounce off one another like bumper cars. Because I was the smallest, I always fell down first and became the bottom of the so-called dog pile. My palms are beginning to sweat and my heart rate is elevating even as I type these words!
"It was a terrible experience to be buried under five or six sleeping bag-clad bodies for what seemed like an eternity. The experience did teach me to be able to talk myself down while being stuck in enclosed spaces such as MRI tubes and airplanes. Nothing has ever been as bad as those childhood experiences and I simply remind myself of that."
The "… and I vote" fill-in-the-blank item prompted Gary Rust to write.
"I saw it on a bumper sticker and now have it on our refrigerator: 'We live in Hillyard and we voat.'
"We have community pride but we also have a sense of humor."

Tim Krul came on as a substitute in the final minute of extra time and then saved two penalties in a 4-3 shootout victory over Costa Rica, giving the Netherlands a spot in the World Cup semi-finals.
The Newcastle goalkeeper saved spot-kicks from Costa Rica captain Bryan Ruiz and Michael Umana after the match had finished 0-0. The Dutch team will next face Argentina in the semi-finals on Wednesday in Sao Paulo.
In another stroke of tactical genius at this year's World Cup, Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal pulled Jasper Cillessen moments after the Ajax goalkeeper had kept his team in the match by saving a shot from Marcos Urena in extra time.
Krul looked super confident during the shootout, saving the second and fifth penalties.
When Krul stopped Ruiz's penalty, Cillessen, watching from the sideline, punched the air in celebration.
Costa Rica goalkeeper Keylor Navas had kept his team in the match with a string of saves in the first half and again in extra time. When Wesley Sneijder twice beat him late in regulation and again in the second half of extra time, the woodwork made the stop.
Sneijder hit the post with a free kick in the 80th minute and sent a curling shot over Navas and off the crossbar before the penalty shootout.
At the end, however, Navas could not stop any of the four Dutch penalties as Robin van Persie, Arjen Robben, Sneijder and Dirk Kuyt all scored.

Pendleton opens handicap-accessible beach cottages
CAMP PENDLETON Civilians and military personnel gathered on a beach-top bluff at the north end of Camp Pendleton Tuesday afternoon to dedicate several seaside cottages for troops – especially those wounded – to find respite.
The four new handicap-friendly cottages at San Onofre Beach are part of a community-funded venture known as the Pendleton Cottages Project.
The goal is to build 24 cottages and replace the 30-year old emergency trailers that were converted into beach cabins. The trailers were beyond repair and without handicap accessibility, making them impractical for injured service members to use.
The project — spearheaded by La Jolla resident Bob Clelland — has raised $805,000 for the first nine cottages.
Five two-bedroom units were installed last June and four one-bedroom units were turned over to the base Tuesday.
The new cottages painted in pastel shades of blue, green and yellow stand in stark contrast to the old gray trailers with holes in their siding.
"Without the collective efforts of everyone working together, we could not have moved forward, " said Brig. Gen. John Bullard before cutting the ribbon at the afternoon dedication ceremony.
Each cottage costs about $85,000 each, plus $6,000 for furnishings — bringing the total tab to roughly $2 million.
Community members from San Diego and Orange counties are banding together to see the project through.
"It's about giving back to the military who have lost limbs and lives and time with their families to save the country," said donor Mary Ann Blair, who is urging others to support the cause.
Of the nine cottage up, six were funded by Blair. Two were dedicated in honor of military medical personnel and veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan. Last year, four more were dedicated in honor of Blair's father, her aunt and three uncles. The four men served in World War II.
Each cottage has a plaque outside with the name of the honoree and one inside at the entrance with a photograph. As Clelland read the names of those honored, family members were moved to tears during the ceremony.
One of the new cottages is dedicated by Anita Sumoski in memory of her husband Robert, who served in the Air Force. Another was dedicated by friends and family in memory of Captain Robert Hanson, who served in U.S. Navy for 28 years.
"He [Hanson] took care of his men and this is a tribute to that," said Hanson's brother, Wayne, also a Navy man.
Clelland, a La Jolla based investment adviser and past board member of the San Diego Foundation, started the Cottages Project in 2009, after he was asked by Jan Wells and her husband, Tom Hurt of San Juan Capistrano, to help raise money to replace the decrepit trailer/cottages with newly manufactured homes. Wells and Hurt funded the first new cottage and Hurt still serves as one of the group's volunteers.
Since then Clelland has been working with a handful of volunteers and the base's Marine Corps Community Services to replace the cottages.
The group is receiving donations for the project through the nonprofit San Diego Nice Guy's Victory Fund, which provides support for wounded Marines and their families.

New avo chairman sets sights on market expansion
Scott McIntyre has two primary objectives: to get Americans to eat more avocados, and to get more of the state's avocados into Mexican markets. And the Temecula man is in a position to do something about both of those goals: He is the new chairman of the California Avocado Commission.
McIntyre, a 46-year-old grower and grove manager, said in a recent interview that he wants to strive to gain access for California avocados to Mexico City, ease access into Tijuana, and sell more fruit to Americans.
A second-generation grower, McIntyre took the reins of the Irvine-based research and promotional arm of the industry last month, shortly before the U.S. Department of Agriculture issued a ruling on Nov. 30 to allow Mexican avocados to be sold in 47 states year-round. The ruling goes into effect Jan. 31.
While the major avocado-producing states of California, Florida and Hawaii will be exempted from that policy for two years -- which is what the commission and others hoped for -- federal officials estimate that the expansion will result in about 141 million pounds of Mexican avocados coming into the U.S. market each year. For comparison, 419 million pounds of avocados were grown in the United States from November 2003 to November 2004.
McIntyre said he will work to push for new agreements to ease access to Mexico and the ability to expand to other markets in that country.
While it is possible for California avocado growers to export fruit to Tijuana, McIntyre said the task is riddled with red tape, tariffs and taxes.
"You have to be registered to export the fruit into Mexico, and you need a permit for starters," McIntyre said. "Then, there's a limit on the amount you can bring into Mexico and a limit on how far into Mexico you can go once you cross the border."
When Mexican avocado exports cross into the United States, there are no tariffs imposed, no permits necessary, added McIntyre, who owns Sierra Pacific Farms in Temecula and was elected commission chairman on Nov. 18 by a unanimous vote of the panel's 15-member board of directors.
Easier access to Mexico also could help sales for the nearly 6,100 growers he represents as commission chairman by providing an outlet for less-than-perfect avocados, he said.
Avocados are graded based on their size and quality. No. 1, or premium, avocados have skin that is blemish-free, while No. 2, or standard, avocados can have scars on them up to the size of a quarter, McIntyre said.
If more No. 2 avocados could be exported to Mexico, that would reduce pressure to market that category of fruit and potentially increase the value of growers' premium avocados, he said.
California is the leading domestic producer of avocados, with San Diego the leading production county with more than 25,000 acres of avocado groves. The crop produced $146 million in 2003.
The increase in Mexican imports is expected to fuel sales competition and has some in the industry fretting about falling prices for the fruit dubbed "green gold" for the price it commands. But McIntyre said he believes California growers can meet the challenge.

Of all the things everyone's come to love about the Oscar winner, one trait that tops the list is her healthy body image. When talking to Elle about her near-nude role in X-Men: First Class, the 22-year-old said, "I knew that if I was going to be naked in front of the world, I wanted to look like a woman and not a prepubescent 13-year-old boy. I'm so sick of people thinking that's what [women are] supposed to look like."

Doctors lean more left, political donations show
Once strongly aligned with the GOP, American physicians are leaning more left, an analysis of campaign contributions over two decades shows.
AP Medical Writer
Once strongly aligned with the GOP, American physicians are leaning more left, an analysis of campaign contributions over two decades shows.
The first rigorous look at donor doctors also finds they've become increasingly generous, with political contributions surging to almost $200 million in recent years.
An increase in female doctors -- who more often than men donated to Democrats -- and a decline in physicians working on their own or in small practices occurred during study years. Those changes likely contributed but reasons for the political shift are unclear, said study co-author David Rothman, a social medicine professor at Columbia University's medical school.
"We've got to stop thinking of physicians as a group as 'solidly Republican.' They are polarized, almost equally divided between Republicans and Democrats," Rothman said.
The study focused on donations of $200 or more to presidential and congressional candidates or political organizations from 1991 through 2012. At the beginning, almost 3 percent of U.S. doctors made contributions, rising to almost 10 percent by the end of the study.
Doctor donations to Republican candidates peaked in the mid-1990s, when almost 75 percent of all MD contributions went to the GOP. Those donations mostly declined after that, to about 50 percent in 2011-12. The exception was in 2009-10 during emergence of the Affordable Care Act, when Republican donations briefly increased.
Donations from non-physicians also increased and tilted more Democratic during the study, but the authors say the MD findings are remarkable for two reasons: they defy the historical image of doctors as a conservative, right-leaning bunch, and political contributions from doctors increased at a greater rate than among the general public.
Political alliances also differed by medical specialty: Surgeons, dominated by men, were the strongest GOP supporters while pediatricians -- more than half of whom are women -- were most likely to contribute to Democrats.
By the end of the study, 24 percent of women who donated gave to GOP candidates versus 52 percent of the men.
Women comprise almost one-third of the nation's 1 million physicians and almost half of medical school graduates, according to 2012-13 data from the Association of American Medical Colleges.
The study was published Monday in the medical journal JAMA Internal Medicine. The researchers analyzed data from the Federal Election Commission; a political contributions database created by Stanford political scientist Adam Bonica, the lead author; and health-care provider directories.
Doctors' right-leaning reputation dates back at least as far as 1965, when the American Medical Association strongly opposed the passage of Medicare, the study authors say.
The AMA has since lost sway -- less than one-third of U.S. physicians are members -- but it remains the nation's largest doctor group and a powerful lobbying presence in Washington. It also has moved more to the center, including voicing support for the Affordable Care Act.
For the 2012 elections, the AMA says reports to the FEC show it contributed $2 million to campaign committees, with recipients including the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and the Republican National Committee.
A journal editorial says the study provides an unprecedented, though largely predictable description of doctors' campaign contributions. The author, Dr. Arnold Relman, a professor emeritus at Harvard's Brigham and Women's Hospital, also questioned whether the study represents all physicians since contributions totaling less than $200 weren't included.
Rothman said it's unlikely the smaller contributions would have changed the results.

Series Description
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was a 60 minute reality series on ABC where needy and deserving families got their often nearly condemned homes replaced with brand new beautiful homes complete with new furnishings, appliances, etc. The families were sent away on a dream vacation for a week. When they returned, their entire neighborhood, family, and friends were packed behind a bus that obstructed the view of their new home. When the lucky family returned to the cheers of the crowd, Ty Pennington (The Host) said, "Move that bus!" and the family's dream home was revealed. It was very heartwarming to see their tears of joy as they saw the exterior and then toured the interior and backyard with the cast.

The "Fist Pump" moment
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 01-03-2013 - 9:13pm
I honestly didn't think I would have a feel good "fist pump" moment anytime soon, however, it has happened. As I drove home from work yesterday I felt good, good that I had made it through another day being separated from xap by only a clear pane of glass and not once wanting to talk to him, or see what he was doing or who he was talking too, cos guess what? I didn't care! I don't care! and to think it was only on Sunday Dec 23rd we had lunch, we went shopping, he picked the diamond ring he would buy me when he wins lotto and can afford to leave his wife, for those not familiar with my story the A actually ended in September, but it has dragged on emotionally until Dec 27th when for whatever reason I don't know (I don't care) he decided to put complete blame on me to save his marriage. But I actually feel better now knowing its over than I have for months, limbo land was horrific and its not a place I want to ever go back. I still love him and to be honest in our 2 year A its only been the last 4 months that I have felt like I was recieving crumbs.
So my theory for what its worth, I believe you can love your A person and they can love you, but if circumstances aren't right, it's not right either. It is All or Nothing!
|Thu, 01-03-2013 - 10:47pm
Tily6, congrats!!! I think you are working towards freedom and that is many times more alluring than looking at what oyu can't have!
I have felt the same about my xap. I still love him and it wasn't until recently that I got crumbs. He didn't throw me under the bus but still the end has been painful. We never talked long term being together, other than having an A for many years to come. Though he did ask me a few times if I would take him if he left his wife and all the times I said no,
Congrats and relish the strength and power you've gained.

Good for you for getting through the day...*fist pump*!!
Now, let's work on your idea of what love is and what love isn't. I hope ?Kittery joins in because as long as you both insist it just had to be love, you'll continue to think you are missing out and if only the Moon had just been aligned with Mars....and if we had met at another time and place. Well, the Moon and Mars did not align and you did not meet at another time and place. You had made previous commitments, and you lacked the maturity to remain true to these previous commitments...your marriage, your spouses your children. This goes for all of us, btw...not just you.
Time to get real
Since when does one who loves you have you collude with them in the deceipt and betrayal of their loved ones? Since when does one who loves you ask you to jeopardize your marriage and the wellbeing of your loves ones. You insist, T, that this was some sort of great love story...we've been down this road before. You are not getting it...hopefully, it will come with time and more distance and more work on yourself. In the Healing Library, there's a thread started by Lolly which came as a direct result of your post.
Oh and before I forget, you were receiving crumbs all along...you were dishing out crumbs all along and more importantly, you were throwing crumbs to those you profess to love and to whom you were already committed.
In my opinion, affairs have nothing to do with love at all...except for those few exceptions where both affair partners took the steps to wrap up unfinished business (their marriage) and went on to make a life for themselves together...otherwise, they are cheap and tawdy and ugly, and selfish acts beyond the pale...and has more to do with two immature and dysfunctional people feeding off each other's dysfunction.
And going on to make for a friendship...and continuing on with betrayal and deceipt, was just another slap in the face of real, mature love between two healthy adults.

Flrunnners. Com my bad on the spelling
Big? It still doesn't work.
Any chance you can post the full link?
Holy effin crap, dude.
lol... spelling isn't his thing.
Take one of those "n"s out of his second link and it should work.
Nothing there either. I'll go to another site and ask someone there.

Watch out for Nick Uruburu. He is the next Jeremy Wariner. He won states in the 400 and ran the anchor leg for 4x400 team that won also. The kid can flat out burn!
Lol, spellcheck isn't working on my phone apparently. But I kinda think you should have figured that one out. The kid from Alabama is going to be special in the 400 or 800 whatever coach wants him to run
why is it that both the mens and womens teams are having trouble getting 100 and 200 sprinters, ucf has 2 of the top 4 or 5 womens, mens seems to have dropped since demps?

Hold the fleet angel fast until he bless thee.
- Nathaniel Cotton
Many people believe that angels are God's
messengers at work in the world today.
Angels come in many forms, from
helpful animals to mysterious strangers,
from glorious heavenly angels to
earth angels, human beings who
generously help others.
Angels can also come to us in
dreams, on a breeze, or in a
strain of music. When they
appear, they always radiate
life-affirming hope.
The voice came out of nowhere, promising the impossible...
They gathered in the branches outside her father's window, the songbirds he called God's choir.
A neighbor's kind deed saves a dog and inspires an owner to stop a bad habit.
Two lives, both stormy as the sea, are put back on track by a mysterious stranger.
She was a dog-lover and didn't own a bird, so where did they come from?
A group waiting for outpatient cancer surgery discovers their own Christmas cheer.
Enjoy this angelic excerpt from Daily Guideposts 2015.
Playing hide-and-seek in the barn was one thing. Christmas dinner was another. Would their guests be willing to eat with the cows and chickens?
Their recently departed teenaged son was sorely missed over the holidays, but he managed to make his presence felt.
New to town, she was not yet familiar with navigating the roads. When she got lost in a snowstorm, a jolly earth angel in a red suit came to her aid.
A young woman, gone far astray, wonders if her family would ever take her back.
Every restaurant in town was either booked solid or closed for the holidays. Where would they have dinner?
Trapped on a snowy mountain pass, his young family was in danger of freezing in the Christmas snow. Who could possibly help them?
This couple loves to travel and their preferred souvenirs from their journeys have always been angel tree ornaments.

When your daughter is still a little girl, it is common for her to want to put on your high heels and parade around the living room. In fact, heels are a big part of pretending to be like mommy when we are little.
The question is whether these are appropriate shoes for young girls on other occasions as well. We have all seen beauty pageants where kids ages three and up are walking onstage in tiny high heels. Are these really okay as little girl's shoes?
While offering a blanket answer of "no" to this question seems judgmental, there is actually science behind it. Tom and Katie may let little Suri Cruise go to the shoe store and pick out a handmade pair of little high heels, but it is actually a bad idea from a medical standpoint.
Not only is the shape of the foot still forming during this period, meaning that heels could permanently alter it, but bones, tendons, and ligaments are still growing. When you are a growing child, you need shoes for girls that offer support, not that require the foot to be held in an unnatural position. Tendons and ligaments are still too weak at this age to properly support the ankle, and even occasional wearing of higher heeled shoes can cause injury in the form of slip, falls, twists and sprains.
The simple fact is that high heels are not appropriate shoes for little girls. High-energy kids need to be able to balance properly at all times, and they need foot and ankle support that will provide them the ability to walk properly as they run and play. Heels may be fantastic for playing dress up, and they may be mommy's favorite, but until kids are fully developed in their late teens, a sensible pair of flats is honestly the best choice you can make for your young girl.

Cops Corner
Date: May 7, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
April 25
Memory matters
2:20 a.m. — 200 block of Sands Point Road. Missing Person. A woman told police that her boyfriend had gone for a late-night walk and must have gotten lost. Police searched the beach, only to discover that the intoxicated man had indeed gotten lost — in the condominium parking lot. The man could not remember in which building he was staying. Police pointed him in the right direction.
Mail truck milling around
6:26 p.m. — 500 block of Bowsprit Lane. Suspicious Vehicle. A woman told police that she saw what looked like an old, white mail truck just sitting in her neighborhood, with two men inside. She said one of the men was wearing a black ski cap. Police couldn't locate the unconventional mail truck.
April 26
Sign thief close to home
3:52 p.m. — 5400 block of Gulf of Mexico Drive (GMD). Missing Property. A man told police that someone stole the open-house signs he had placed near the intersection of Broadway and Gulf of Mexico Drive. Police believe that the town's code-enforcement officer may have swiped the signs, because they were placed illegally. The man then realized the town takes its sign code pretty seriously.
April 28
While the cat's away …
3:52 p.m. — 7000 block of Longboat Drive East. Animal Nuisance. A woman called to complain that her neighbor would soon be leaving for the summer. The complaint centered on the fact that the neighbor leaves her cats behind, and the bowls of food that are left out attract raccoons.
Police contacted the neighbor, who explained that she would be taking her cats with her this year. Although the complainant will be pleased, the local wildlife population will have to find food elsewhere.
April 29
Sitting by the dock of the bay
12:30 p.m. — 500 block of Dream Island Road. Trespassing. Police responded to a complaint of boats parked behind a property and decided that one of the boats had no right to dock there, but the other one could stay put.
April 30
Unidentified foreign object …
9:57 a.m. — 200 block of Sands Point Road. Found Property. Members of the housekeeping staff turned in a bag of tobacco that was left behind to the front desk. But other employees identified the tobacco as marijuana and called police to dispose of it. The employees who identified the drug said they had never inhaled.
