We hear so much about the evils of cholesterol, but in fact it is a necessary substance for bodily function. Our bodies use it to make hormones, bile for digestion, cell walls, and vitamin D. We get cholesterol by eating cholesterol-containing foods and by manufacturing it in our livers from simple nutritional building blocks.
Unfortunately, some people make too much cholesterol in their liver. Others have a relative lack of cholesterol receptors to get the cholesterol out of the bloodstream and into the cells. These situations can be inherited through your family. Individuals with inherited or familial high cholesterol have readings that are usually very high. And, the numbers don't budge no matter how much they try to control it.
The rest of us just consume way too much cholesterol and fat through fatty foods. High-fat foods, fast foods, processed foods, snack foods- these can elevate the blood cholesterol levels. Adding to this is a general lack of regular exercise. Regular exercise and dietary restraint can significantly lower the cholesterol levels in the general population.
The numbers by which we measure a person's cholesterol refer to the cholesterol transport molecules in the bloodstream. These are LDL (low-density lipoprotein), HDL (high-density lipoprotein), triglycerides, non-LDL particles, and total cholesterol. From various studies, we know that people with a high LDL, the "bad" cholesterol, will have a higher risk for heart attacks and strokes. Also, people with a high HDL, "good" cholesterol, will have less of a risk. Therefore, you want your LDL to be low and your HDL to be high.
Bad cholesterol particles are what bring about hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis). These molecules get into the artery walls and cause plaques. Thickening plaques create blockages in the blood flow and this can result in heart attacks, strokes and arterial disease.
So how do we improve our cholesterol levels? Since we take in cholesterol from foods, we can eat less cholesterol-containing foods. Diminish your intake of saturated fats (whole milk, cheese, red meat, ice cream, etc), fried foods, and processed foods. Increase your intake of healthy fats like fish oils and unsaturated fats. Increasing dietary fiber helps to lower the blood cholesterol levels. Additionally, regular exercise can improve your good cholesterol and lower your bad cholesterol.
Since the liver manufactures cholesterol, we can interrupt this process. This is how many of the prescription pills work to lower cholesterol; they block liver cholesterol production. In general, they lower your bad (LDL) and raise your good (HDL). Other medicines can bind and remove cholesterol from your body's digestive tract before it gets absorbed.
A high blood cholesterol level usually won't give you symptoms in and of itself. That's why it's important to have your cholesterol checked. If you have a family history of very high cholesterol, you should have it checked early in life. Cholesterol screenings are done frequently throughout the community. You can take advantage of these to get a general idea of your cholesterol numbers. However, the most accurate way to check cholesterol is a fasting lipid panel, through your doctor's office.
Optimally, your LDL should be < 100; your HDL > 40; and your total cholesterol < 200. Your doctor can discuss individual treatments and additional risk factor reduction based on your results, medical history and physical examination.

City to Break Ground on New Anna Louise Inn Location
New facility follows Inn's intense legal battle with Western & Southern
City leaders will break ground Thursday for the Anna Louise Inn's new location at Mount Auburn. The start of construction begins the next phase for the Anna Louise Inn and owner Cincinnati Union Bethel (CUB) after a failed legal battle against financial giant Western & Southern forced the Inn to move. CUB sought to keep the Inn at the Lytle Park location that has housed struggling women since 1909. Western & Southern demanded the property so it could round out its development vision for the Lytle Park neighborhood. (CityBeat covered the issue in greater detail here.)After nearly two years of litigation held up CUB's renovations at the Lytle Park location, both sides abruptly reached a settlement and announced the Anna Louise Inn would move. Many supporters of the Anna Louise Inn saw the settlement and decision to move as a huge loss.The $14 million project comes through the collaboration of various organizations, according to the city. It's expected construction will finish in the spring of 2015.The facility will consist of four stories with 85 studio apartments, the Off-the-Streets program's residential dormitory-style units, community space and CUB's office.The city's attendee list for the groundbreaking includes CUB, Mayor John Cranley, City Council, Mount Auburn Community Council, Over-the-Rhine Community Housing, U.S. Bank, Model Group and various other officials and organizations from the city and state.But there is one notable omission: Western & Southern.

Mayor-Elect Explains Vision for First Term
Cranley promises to cancel streetcar project and shift city's priorities
Mayor-elect John Cranley invited reporters to his home in Mt. Lookout on Wednesday to discuss his plan and priorities for his first term as mayor of Cincinnati. Cranley claims the invitation to his house represents the kind of accessible, transparent leadership he'll take up when he begins his term on Dec. 1. Speaking on his immediate priorities, Cranley says he already contacted the nine newly elected council members and intends to build more collaboration with all sides of the aisle, which will include a mix of five Democrats, two Republicans, one Charterite and one Independent starting in December. One of Cranley's top priorities is to cancel the $133 million streetcar project, which Cranley and six newly elected council members oppose. He also argues that the city should stop spending on ongoing construction for the project. "Seriously, look at who got elected yesterday. At some point, this is a democracy. We shouldn't be agitating voters like this," Cranley says. "Let's not keep spending money when it looks like the clear majority and the clear mandate of yesterday's election was going in a different direction." But in response to recent reports that canceling the streetcar project could carry its own set of unknown costs, he says he will weigh the costs and benefits before making a final decision. If the cost of cancellation is too high, Cranley acknowledges he would pull back his opposition to the project. Canceling the streetcar project would also require an ordinance from City Council. Mike Moroski, who on Tuesday lost in his bid for a council seat, already announced on Twitter that he's gathering petition signatures for a referendum to prevent the project's cancellation. Cranley promises he won't stop a referendum effort by placing an emergency clause on an ordinance that cancels the project, but he expressed doubt that a referendum would succeed. On the current city administration's plan to lease the city's parking meters, lots and garages to the Greater Cincinnati Port Authority, Cranley says he will work with fellow lawyers David Mann and Kevin Flynn, both of who won seats for council on Tuesday, to find a way to cancel the deal. But that could prove tricky with the lease agreement already signed by the city and Port Authority, especially as the Port works to sell bonds — perhaps before Cranley takes office — to finance the deal and the $85 million payment the city will receive as a result. Cranley also promises to make various development projects his top priority, particularly the interchange for Interstate 71 and Martin Luther King Drive. He says he will lobby White House officials to re-appropriate nearly $45 million in federal grant money for the streetcar project to the interchange project, even though the U.S. Department of Transportation told the city in a June 19 letter that it would take back nearly $41 million of its grant money if the streetcar project were canceled. Cranley vows he will also work with local businesses to leverage public and private dollars to spur investment in Cincinnati's neighborhoods — similar to what the city did with Over-the-Rhine and downtown by working with 3CDC (Cincinnati Center City Development Corporation). "We want to have some big early wins," Cranley says. "We want to get moving within a year on the Wasson Way bike trail, see significant progress at the old Swifton Commons and see Westwood Square developed." He adds, "And we intend to reverse the one-trash-can policy, which I think is a horrible policy. … There have been several stories about illegal dumping that have resulted from that." Cincinnati's pension system and its $862-million-plus unfunded liability also remain a top concern for city officials. Cranley says he will tap Councilman Chris Smitherman to help bring costs in line, but no specifics on a plan were given.

State fights for minor party restrictions, local judge disqualified, Oasis rail line draws critics
Ohio officials will appeal a court ruling that blocked tougher requirements on minor political parties and allows them to run in the 2014 primary and general elections under previous rules. The Republican-controlled Ohio legislature and Gov. John Kasich approved the stricter rules last year. Democrats and Libertarians argued the new law, which they labeled the John Kasich Re-election Protection Act, was put in place to protect Kasich from conservative electoral challengers upset with his support for the federally funded Medicaid expansion.The Ohio Supreme Court disqualified Hamilton County Juvenile Judge Tracie Hunter Friday after she was indicted on eight felony charges for, among other accusations, backdating and forging court documents. The disqualification could further burden a court that's already known for a large backlog of cases. It remains unclear how long Hunter's case and disqualification will last and whether she'll be replaced while the legal battle unfolds.Many streetcar supporters oppose the Oasis rail line and the rest of the Eastern Corridor project. Critics of the project point to a recent study that found the Oasis line would generate low economic development in seven of 10 planned stations. Instead of supporting the Oasis line, Cincinnatians for Progress says local officials should work to first establish a transit line — perhaps through a piece-by-piece approach of the defunct MetroMoves plan that voters rejected in 2002 — that could act as a central spine for a broader light rail network. Opposition to the Oasis line is also rooted in a general movement against the Eastern Corridor project, which some say would expand and rework roads and highways in a way that could damage and divide the East Side and eastern Hamilton County. Officials are taking feedback for the Eastern Corridor and Oasis rail line at EasternCorridor.org.Hamilton County Commissioner Todd Portune, who might challenge Democratic gubernatorial Ed FitzGerald in the May primary, discussed the gubernatorial race in a nearly 40-minute interview with The Cincinnati Enquirer's editorial board Friday.

Streetcar Supporters Oppose Oasis Rail Line
HDR study finds low economic development along intercity line
At first glance, it might seem like a rail line between downtown Cincinnati and the city of Milford would earn support from the same people who back the $132.8 million streetcar project, but streetcar supporters, including advocacy group Cincinnatians for Progress, say they oppose the idea and its execution. Critics of the overall project, called the Eastern Corridor, recently pointed to a November study from HDR. Despite flowery language promising a maximized investment, HDR found seven of 10 stations on the $230-$322 million Oasis rail line would result in low economic development, five of 10 stations would provide low access to buses and bikes, and the intercity line would achieve only 3,440 daily riders by 2030. HDR's findings for the Oasis line stand in sharp contrast to its study of Cincinnati's streetcar project. The firm found the streetcar line in Over-the-Rhine and downtown would generate major economic development and a 2.7-to-1 return on investment over 35 years. Given the poor results for the Oasis line, streetcar supporters say local officials should ditch the Oasis concept and instead pursue the 2002 MetroMoves plan and an expansion of the streetcar system through a piecemeal approach that would create a central transit spine through the region. "To have (the Oasis line) be our first commuter rail piece in Cincinnati … just doesn't make sense to me," says Derek Bauman, co-chair of Cincinnatians for Progress.MetroMoves spans across the entire city and region, with the rail line along I-71 from Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport to downtown Cincinnati to King's Island fostering particularly high interest. Voters rejected the MetroMoves plan and the sales tax hike it involved in 2002, but streetcar supporters say public opinion will shift once the streetcar becomes reality in Cincinnati. "That's been proven in other cities, especially ones that have not historically been transit-oriented," Bauman says, pointing to Houston and Miami as examples of cities that built spines that are now being expanded.Opposition to the Oasis line is also more deeply rooted in a general movement against the Eastern Corridor project. The unfunded billion-dollar project involves a few parts: relocating Ohio 32 through the East Side, the Oasis rail line and several road improvements from Cincinnati to Milford. Supporters of the Eastern Corridor claim it would ease congestion, at least in the short term, and provide a cohesiveness in transportation options that's severely lacking in the East Side. Opponents argue the few benefits, some of which both sides agree are rooted in legitimate concerns, just aren't worth the high costs and various risks tied to the project. "When it comes to widening roads and highways, it's kind of like loosening your belt at Thanksgiving. Somehow traffic always fills to fit," Bauman says. "Highway expansion, especially in urban areas, is not the future. It's not even the present in some areas." The big concern is that the relocation of Ohio 32 might do to the East Side and eastern Hamilton County what I-75 did to the West Side, which was partly obliterated and divided by the massive freeway. "It hurts the cohesiveness of our communities when you create these big divides," Bauman argues. "You would see that repeat itself." Officials are taking feedback for the Eastern Corridor and Oasis rail line at EasternCorridor.org.This article was updated to use more up-to-date figures for the cost of the Oasis rail line.

Streetcar decision today, Preschool Promise coming together, uptown interchange advances
The city would save just $7.8-$52.6 million in capital costs if it takes on tens of millions in additional expenditures to cancel the $132.8 million streetcar project, an independent audit revealed yesterday. The news appeared to throw another potential lifeline for the streetcar, which can now claim a five-member majority of supporters on City Council. But with Mayor John Cranley's veto threat, council will likely need six votes to continue the project. Council expects to make a decision today, prior to a Friday deadline for federal grants funding roughly one-third of the project.Some city leaders are trying to ensure all of Cincinnati's 3- and 4-year-olds attend quality preschool programs through Cincinnati's Preschool Promise. Citing swaths of studies and data, Greg Landsman, executive director of the education-focused Strive Partnership, says the policy could reach all corners of the city and hugely benefit the city's economy in the long term. But supporters of the proposal first must find a means to fund it, which Landsman says will likely require some sort of voter-approved tax hike in 2014. Before the Preschool Promise campaign gets there, Landsman vows supporters will heavily engage the community to gather feedback and determine the scope of the proposal.City Council yesterday unanimously approved $20 million in capital funding for the $106 million uptown interchange project, which will allow the project to move forward with the state and Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments filling the rest of the funding gap. The capital allocation means property taxes will remain higher than they would without the project, as revealed at Monday's Budget and Finance Committee. Mayor Cranley and council members argue the cost is worth it because, as a study from the University of Cincinnati's Economics Center previously found, the project will generate thousands of jobs and other economic gains in the uptown area.Commentary: "Anti-Streetcar Logic Should Stop Uptown Interchange Project."The Democratic majority on City Council yesterday dismissed legislation that would have repealed controversial bidding requirements for Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) projects. Council's decision could put Cincinnati and Hamilton County on a collision course over rules governing a federally mandated revamp of the city's inadequate sewer system. A majority of council members support the bidding requirements as a way to foster local jobs and local job training, while opposing county officials say the rules favor unions and impose a huge burden on MSD contractors. Councilman Chris Seelbach says he's working with Hamilton County Commissioner Greg Hartmann to get both parties in mediation talks and end a county-enforced hold on sewer projects before the federal government begins enforcing its mandate.The city of Cincinnati is allowing residents to put out extra trash bags next to approved trash containers between Dec. 26 and Jan. 3 in a "trash amnesty."Gov.

City Keeps Controversial MSD Contracting Rules
Democratic council members stand together against repeal of "responsible bidder" law
City Council on Wednesday dismissed legislation that would have repealed controversial contracting rules for Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD) projects.Council's decision could put Cincinnati and Hamilton County on a collision course over rules governing a federally mandated revamp of the city's sewer system. The city and county jointly manage MSD.Democrats David Mann, Chris Seelbach, Yvette Simpson, P.G. Sittenfeld and Wendell Young voted to move the repeal ordinance back to committee. Republicans Amy Murray and Charlie Winburn, Charterite Kevin Flynn and Independent Christopher Smitherman voted to keep the ordinance in front of council. Hamilton County commissioners previously halted most of the $3.2 billion, 15-year sewer revamp in protest of the city's "responsible bidder" law. As long as the hold remains in place, the city and county risk violating a federal mandate to revamp Cincinnati's inadequate sewer system.The city rules require contractors to follow stricter standards for apprenticeship programs, which unionized and nonunion businesses use to train workers in crafts, such as electrical work or plumbing. The rules also ask contractors to put 10 cents for each hour of labor into a pre-apprenticeship fund that will help train newcomers in different crafts. Supporters of the law claim it will foster local jobs and local job training. Opponents claim the law favors unions and places a costly burden on MSD contractors.The city already gave various concessions to resolve its conflict with the county, including exemptions for small businesses and contracts worth less than $400,000. But the county has so far refused to budge.Smitherman, who opposes the law, argued the issue will end up in court and the city will lose."What was passed on May 1 is not constitutional," he said.But the city's law department says the law is legal and could be defended in court.Seelbach, who spearheaded the law, said he's in talks with Hamilton County Commissioner Greg Hartmann to bring both parties into mediation and resolve the conflict. "I'm asking for some more time," he said.

Big week for streetcar, council OKs interchange funds, emergency jobless aid to expire
Major events for Cincinnati's streetcar project this week: Today, supporters will turn in petitions to get the issue on the ballot; late today or early tomorrow, KPMG will turn in audit of the project's completion, cancellation and operating costs; tomorrow, council will take public comment on the project at 1:30 p.m.; and on Thursday, council will debate and make the final decision on the streetcar. Other streetcar news:• Mayor John Cranley is asking streetcar opponents to speak up during the public comments section of Wednesday's council meeting.• Supporters collected more than 9,000 signatures to get the streetcar project on the ballot. Nearly 6,000 signatures need to be verified to allow a vote in the coming months. City Council's budget committee yesterday advanced funding for the $106 million uptown interchange project at Martin Luther King Drive and Interstate 71. The capital funding set by council will be backed through property taxes, which, according to the city administration, will prevent the city from reducing property taxes in the future as originally planned. Still, proponents of the project, including a unanimous body of council, say the project is worth the investment; the University of Cincinnati's Economics Center found in a May 2012 study that the interchange will generate 5,900 to 7,300 permanent jobs, $133 million in economic development during construction and another $750 million once the interchange opens. Congress appears ready to pass a bipartisan budget deal that will not extend emergency benefits for the long-term unemployed through 2014, which could leave more than 36,000 unemployed Ohioans behind in December and 128,600 Ohioans without aid through 2014. The emergency benefits were originally adopted by Congress to provide a safety net for those worst affected by the Great Recession. Conservatives, touting the $25.2 billion annual cost, say the economy has improved enough to let the costly benefits expire, but liberals, pointing to the high numbers of long-term unemployed, say the benefits are still needed and would help keep the economy on a stable recovery.The Cincinnati area's economy could overtake the Cleveland area in 2015.Six men were taken into custody after a SWAT team responded to a home and engaged in a gun battle that left a three-year-old critically injured.A Union Township trustee says he can't believe Chris Finney would hurt his credibility for a $850-a-year tax break to open a law firm in Clermont County.

John Kasich and the Ohio Controlling Board effectively enacted the expansion, which taps into federal funds to expand Medicaid eligibility to 138 percent of the federal poverty level.The Kasich administration expects to hand out education grants from the "Straight A" fund on Wednesday in an attempt to reward innovation at the state's schools.

Yes, as some of you have asked. I did get a spinning wheel for my birthday. An early gift from my hubby (my birthday is not until the end of the month). If you are curious about which wheel and why... I got a Majacraft Pioneer. I had a chance to try Maple's Majacraft Suzie Pro and it was just heavenly. So smooth, so sturdy, so natural feeling. The Pioneer is the entry level wheel for Majacraft but can use almost all of the accessories and should be able to do everything I want (it comes with a great range of ratios). I also love it's simple lines and light finish that just blends in with my bamboo floors. It looks perfectly at home in my family room (fyi... Pioneer has been recently updated with honey finish instead of the cream wash). It is not fussy and very easy to use. I'm very happy with my choice... although Fairy is still a bit bummed that I didn't get the Ladybug.

You would love to think that your kids not only love you, but also like you - that they think you're "cool" and consider you a friend. The problem is, when you blur the line between being your child's parent and being his friend, your child is likely to use a manipulative technique I call "Forging the Friendship" in order to get what he wants.
Forging the Friendship is the strategy with which your child tries to turn you into his friend, thereby breaking down the power structure that should exist. When you revert from parent to friend, it's much harder for you to say no.
Children who employ this manipulative strategy are understandably unaware of the dysfunction between themselves and their parents. They may fall into this role because they take emotional care of a parent or because the parent shares inappropriate information with them, such as details of a dispute with a spouse, or financial worries.
In my practice, divorced parents are most at risk for blurred parent-child boundaries for several reasons: (1) They fear losing their child's respect or love; (2) They don't want to be viewed as the "bad" parent; or (3) They're lonely and in need of a friend or confidant.
Psychologists call a child who is forced to take on the responsibilities of her parent or caregiver a "parentified child." Here are 10 signs to watch out for:
1. Parent and child sleeping in the same bed.
2. A child actively defying his parent or using such inappropriate language as, "Oh please, you're only saying that because he's here. You know when we get home, you're not going to follow through."
3. A child referring to his parent as "cool."
4. A child who behaves as though he is much more adultlike than is age appropriate, or uses language such as "those kids" when referring to peers.
5. Children saying their parents "let me get away with whatever I want."
6. Children reporting their parents are easy to manipulate.
7. Parents reporting that they often need permission from their child.
8. Parents setting few or no limits or boundaries.
9. Parents wanting to have fun with their child but never imposing consequences for inappropriate behavior, lest they "ruin the time they spend together."
10. Parents seeking advice and guidance from their child in such a way that places the child in the caretaker role.
Do you have a parentified child? If so, here are some ways to reestablish your authority. If your child badgers you for more information, say, about what led to your divorce or how much money you make, simply tell her it's not an appropriate topic of conversation. If you normally go to your child for comfort after a bad day, or when you're feeling lonely or depressed, make an effort to seek help and solace from someone outside the house-a friend, counselor, or family member. Remember, also, that it's perfectly okay to tell your child that you've made some parenting mistakes, but from here forward there will be new rules and limits. Be prepared for emotional pushback. If your child tells you you're not cool anymore and you're acting like a parent, accept this as a compliment!

Beautiful Gerber Daisies Favor Memo Boards Looked great. Was disappointed with the design. The magnet for the pen looks like it is attached, but it isn't. So if you do decide to buy this product, envelopes would be a nice way to keep it all together. Or you could buy double sided tape to keep pen on the sign.

The southern and central atolls fared the worst when the tsunami rolled over this cluster of low-lying islands, destroying harbors, jetties, and sewage systems. Miraculously, though—in part because it was protected by outlying coral reefs—the Maldives suffered relatively few casualties.
At press time, all but 21 of its 87 resorts, including Soneva Fushi in Baa Atoll and Banyan Tree Maldives Vabbinfaru in western North Malé Atoll, were open. But Soneva Gili, on North Malé's Lankanfushi Island, was forced to shut down because of widespread damage.
The sea also inundated most of the 106-bungalow Four Seasons Resort Maldives at nearby Kuda Huraa; Neil Jacobs, senior vice president of operations in the region, says he plans to reopen by July: "We're hopeful that come next season it will be business as usual."
In the interim, the Maldives are reeling. In January, occupancy rates reportedly dropped to less than 15 percent— troubling news for a nation in which tourism accounts for more than one-third of all employment.
The wave ravaged Tamil Nadu and the Nicobar and Andaman Islands, but only grazed the southwestern state of Kerala, a popular tourist destination.
The tourism infrastructure of this tiny archipelago was "hardly touched," according to the tourist board; only three of the Seychelles' 147 hotels—all on Praslin's exposed eastern coast—shut down. At press time, two of these, Cote d'Or Lodge and La Reserve Hotel, were slated to reopen in mid-January. Mahé had temporary road closings and debris on the beaches, but no resorts shut down.
Despite its proximity to the earthquake's epicenter, peninsular Malaysia was largely sheltered by Sumatra. Though the tsunami roughed up resort beachfronts in Penang and Langkawi, the hotels themselves were undamaged. At press time, the 92-villa Four Seasons Resort Langkawi remained on track to open in late February.
"The hotel was not hurt at all," Four Seasons' Jacobs says.

If all bodies involved were healthy this would be yet another Thursday night mismatch, or at least that's how it would feel even if recent history says something different. But when the 49ers visit St. Louis tonight they'll be playing without Aldon Smith, and likely Patrick Willis too, giving the Rams and their several fantasy relevant players an advantage in a divisional series which was decided by all of three points over two games last year, one of which was tied.
Three thoughts
1. Can Colin Kaepernick find his arms?
That's not a question meant to be taken literally. To my knowledge, Colin Kaepernick's arms are in the correct position, and in the proper working order (as are his legs). No, this is meant in a passing sense, because ever since the opening-week Packers carnival ride in which he passed for 427 yards at a pretty stupid pace of 10.6 per attempt with three touchdowns, there's been little deep ballin' from Kaep.
Kaepernick's completion rate has fallen below 50.0 in the two games since, something that didn't happen once last year in his seven regular-season starts. He's also accumulated a combined total of just 277 yards since Week 1 while being held without a touchdown pass and throwing four interceptions. Looking back on last year again, that latter number is scary. Over 13 game appearances in 2012 and 218 pass attempts, Kaepernick showed impressive decision making skills and care with the ball for an inexperienced quarterback, throwing just three picks. Now he's already eclipsed that number on just 94 attempts. Not good.
Of course, playing on the road in Seattle and in the pouring rain (because it was Seattle, you see, and saying it's raining in Seattle is like saying there are cool penguins with their life narrated by Morgan Freeman in Antarctica) isn't easy, and perhaps even more importantly, playing without Vernon Davis when your receiving corps is already razor thin also isn't enjoyable. That last part could continue tonight, allowing the Rams and their talented cornerback duo of Janoris Jenkins and Cortland Finnegan to focus solely on Anquan Boldin.
The plight of Boldin mirrors that of Kaepernick, and hints strongly at teams doing some thorough film study since Week 1. His yardage has tumbled dramatically, with only 74 yards on six catches since Week 1, when he had an incredible 13 catches for 208 yards. But what's even more worrisome for both Kaepernick and Boldin is the receiver's lack of targets. Kaep looked at him 17 times against the Packers, and he's thrown Boldin's way 12 times since. That's ended in a lack of long throwing (Boldin had four +20 yard catches in Week 1, then just one over the next two games), and a steep decline in Kaepernick's yards per attempt, which fell to 4.5 and 5.6 following the season opener boom.
He's in the right matchup tonight to turn around his throwing misfortunes quickly. Despite the presence of Jenkins and Finnegan, the Rams have been diced early through the air, giving up an average of 288 yards per game with seven touchdowns.
Davis' status will still be critical. He practiced on a limited basis throughout the week, and will be a game-time decision tonight.
2. Can Colin Kaepernick find his legs?
This is a lesser concern, but a growing one. Kaepernick has still been running, and generally running well with his 129 rushing yards over three games. But his early pace isn't on par with what you purchased in August.
Think of the Kaepernick we saw last year even before he stripped Alex Smith of his job. Before he took over for Smith at halftime in Week 10 against these very same Rams, Kaepernick made sporadic appearances in which he was asked to go all Tebow, only so much better. These brief sightings came mostly in garbage time, but Kaepernick's stated purpose was well known to all involved, including both teams, everyone in the stands, and everyone watching at an old folks home. He was going to run, and run fast down a field.
In his five fleeting appearances prior to Week 10 Kaepernick attempted five passes, while running 13 times. That's a wide split for a player with "throw the football" specifically in his job title, and it showed how much he was used specifically as a specialty gimmick in those early days, one that wasn't at all a secret. Yet still on those carries he averaged 8.5 yards while scoring twice. His per carry average this year so far? 5.6.
Rushing and the resulting yardage certainly hasn't been absent from Kaepernick's game, but through nearly a quarter of the season those who invested a mid-round pick in him were expecting a little more. This is a quarterback who scored 31.8 percent of his fantasy points last year through rushing yards and touchdowns, and so far he's only averaging 2.9 fantasy points per game through that same running method. Touchdowns are part of the problem, as a year ago at this point Kaepernick had already scored twice on the ground, on his way to five overall. But to score rushing touchdowns, the offense needs to be in a position to score any touchdown at all. Over the last two weeks that's only happened once for Kaepernick's offense that scored a combined 10 points against the Colts and Seahawks.
3. Where you at, Jared Cook?
Oh hey look, Jared Cook hasn't been remotely consistent. I would make a shocked face if, as a Cook owner, my face wasn't already numbed from repeated self punching.
Cook is yet another key player in tonight's game whose Week 1 performance looks like a massive outlier compared to, well, everything else so far. For him, Week 1 against the Cardinals ended with 141 receiving yards and two touchdowns, which added up to 24 fantasy points. Now he has just five fantasy points since.
To an extent, Cook could be getting Sam Bradford'ed, which was evident in Week 2 when he was targeted six times, but only caught one of those balls for all of 10 yards. The utter lack of a running game in St. Louis (only 59 yards per game so far) isn't helping matters for the Rams' passing attack as a whole, with defenses given little reason to bring an extra man into the box.
Decisions, decisions
Standard preamble/dire warning: in the end it's all the same, but sit and start decisions on Thursday night just feel more pressing and possibly painful, because if you make a poor call one roster spot has already been burned long before Sunday. That sucks a lot (#analysis).
No-brainers: As angry/weepy as you may be because of Kaepernick's combined nine fantasy points over the last two weeks, you're not sitting him tonight. As mentioned, the Rams' currently have the 23rd-ranked secondary, mostly because Finnegan has taken a step back. Again, Davis' potential absence could still be awful, and a Rams front seven that had 52 sacks last year is also less than inviting. You're not sitting Frank Gore either, and Boldin should be started in all formats, especially if Davis is out. For the Rams, Cook is the only definite starter if you own him, though be warned that the 49ers are allowing only 35.2 receiving yards per game to the tight end position.
Tweeners: As expected, predicting which Rams receiver will produce on any given week hasn't been much fun. After Cook's huge game on opening day it was Chris Givens in Week 2 (105 yards on five catches), which was the same game when Austin Pettis rose from his sleeper slumber (78 yards and a touchdown). So if we're rolling that evil Rams wide receiver dice tonight, give me Givens. In his only game against the 49ers last year he was targeted 14 times, turning that volume into 92 yards, and 20 points in PPR leagues.
Flex/sleepers: Despite an escalated draft price in August, Tavon Austin has already fallen to flex status at best. That applies in PPR leagues too even with his six catches per game thus far, because the yardage simply isn't there. He's averaging only 6.6 yards per catch while getting few opportunities to display that elite open-field burst which led to an average of 11.9 YPC throughout Austin's four years at West Virginia. His two touchdowns in Week 2 have salvaged his fantasy production.
There's hope for Austin tonight, though, after the 49ers gave up 108 yards on seven catches to Randall Cobb, a similar receiver.
Stay away: There's little motivation to start either Rams running back. Yes, Willis being out helps matters a lot, but the likely even split that will develop between Daryl Richardson and Isaiah Pead with the former hobbled minimizes the value of each back. Some of you in deeper leagues may not have a choice, and there's at least hope for production from one of these two with the aforementioned key Niners injuries. The problem lies in predicting which one will get the majority of the carries. Avoid this toxic mess entirely if you can.

Sandburg tennis coach Brian Ostrander. | Supplied photo
Updated: March 11, 2013 6:01AM
Brian Ostrander coaches boys and girls varsity tennis at Sandburg High School in Orland Park. He has been at Sandburg since 2000.
Ostrander is a Bremen High School and Chicago State University graduate.
He began coaching in 1994 at Mother McAuley High School and also coached the boys team for three years at Bremen.
Why/how did you originally get into coaching?
My love for the sport comes from my Dad. I started teaching tennis in 1990 under The South Suburban Tennis Academy.
Have you seen high school sports change since you started coaching? If so, how?
The biggest change I have seen is there are more so- called professional instructors in the area. When I first played in the 1980s and my sister first started there were only a handful of qualified instructors. Now, there are more pros than players.
If you had free rein to do so, would you change anything about tennis in the IHSA (rules change, classes)? High school sports in general?
I would shorten the scoring format in tennis, no add and tiebreakers for the third set for all matches. Also, I would allow players to compete in singles and doubles.
Any favorite match, memory, player, practice story?
One of my favorite stories had to do with a boys team that I coached from Bremen. We went undefeated and won the conference tournament that Oak Forest had previously won 27 years in a row.
Players like playing certain teams/opponents. Do you have a favorite match/rivalry you look forward to?
At Sandburg, there are usually three teams that we would consider a rivalry; Andrew, Lincoln-Way East, and Lockport.
Have the south suburbs changed since you started coaching? Is there any reason the area's never had an individual boys tennis champion?
Once again there is such a division with instruction in the south suburbs. Many of the best tennis players in this area go to several different clubs or pros. It would be nice to have a central club where they could compete and learn.
Is there a difference coaching-wise coaching both the boys and girls teams?
Girls are far more team oriented in terms of spirit, lasting memories, team parties. Boys could care less about the weather, and they tend to hang around the courts longer.
What are you most proud of as a coach?
The sport is bigger than all of us. Be humble, classy and display great sportsmanship on a daily basis. Tennis is a sport of a lifetime and the players that I coach hopefully love the sport first.
As told to Tim O'Brien

Been lurking here for awhile thought I would try posting one of my critters. I have a pond on my property that draws in a lot of strange wildlife here in the desert so I built a guard pig. Actually this is the second one I built, the first one ran off with a sweet talking havalina. Made from old air tank with exhaust pipe ears and VW engine cylinder snout. |

That is incredible! I hope you share more with us, and let us know a bit about you if you don't mind. I'm thrilled another Arizonaian has showed up here! May I put your delightful pig in our metal inspiration album? |

Suuuu-weeeet!!! And to think you don't even have to feed it!! That's pretty creative & darling! |
Great recycling & conversation starter!! Jan |
Way cutE! BUT, is it keeping all the other sweet talkin' creatures away???? ahahahahaha |
WAY cute!!! We have a small tank that DH just bought at a GS thinking he could use it. But it's going to cost $40 for the thing that the propane hose hooks to. Does this make sense?? It would make a cute pig or ? How do you get the thing off the top of the tank where the hose hooks up. Don't you have to be careful if doesn't blowup or something? tfs. |

I am a terrible gardener, I can overwater a cattail. Last year I had to buy a new microwave and the one I got is an alpha personality. Normally I wear my tinfoil hat and it blocks the voices in my head but he has a very dominate personality. To make a long story short he suggested I give up murdering the plants I buy and fill the place with yard art made from found objects. Results have been mostly positive, I'm cleaning up my little corner of the planet and potted plants no longer scream and burst into tears when I walk into Home Depot. Thank you for your comments and you may use any of the pictures I post for your album. I don't recommend using propane tanks. Things can go wrong with catastrophic effects. Freon and helium tanks are not refillable and just fill up the dump. They have thinner walls and require a little more skill but much safer. Check with an air conditioning shop or party store. |

I love your adorable pig! He would look right at home with my metal junk birds Screech and Quackers. I'll have to be on the look out for a safe air tank that would make a great pig. Wonderful job and I hope you share more of your garden art with us! |
So cute. Love your garden thumb outlook. No watering, but just as nice as flowers. Would love to see more of your creations. |
Drat! My pig isn't even close to complete and he's been waiting in the half-done pile for a long time. You did a great job so I'll leave mine half-done. I used the blades from a post-hole digger for the ears, and one of those screw-in-the-ground dog tethers for the tail. And of course I used a propane tank. Hey Karen, I live in Nevada but my spirit lives in Arizona. I have a new blue glass sculpture I'm going to post right after I eat. Robert |

Statement of Task
The statements below introduce and present the statement of task for the Committee on Triennial
Review of the National Nanotechnology Initiative: Phase II.
The National Research Council will appoint a committee to conduct the next triennial NNI review
as specified in the law. Pursuant to Section 5 of Public Law 108-153, the director of the National
Nanotechnology Coordination Office (NNCO) has requested the next triennial review of the National
Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI). As noted in an earlier report (National Research Council, A Matter of
Size: Triennial Review of the National Nanotechnology Initiative, The National Academies Press,
Washington, D.C., 2006), 1 "the NNI is not a government research program per se, since it does not
distribute research support to individual scientists or R&D centers and consortia. Rather, the NNI is a
mechanism for the coordination of federal research interests in nanotechnology" (p. 1). The NNI has
provided more than $12 billion in investments over the past decade. For the current study, the NNCO is
particularly interested in examining the role of the NNI in maximizing opportunities to transfer selected
technologies to the private sector (e.g., in electronics, structural materials, coatings); suggesting
appropriate metrics for determining the impact of various nanotechnologies; comparing U.S. efforts to
promote the development and utilization of various nanotechnologies with those of other countries; and
reviewing NNI's management and coordination of nanotechnology research across both civilian and
military federal agencies.
The National Research Council will appoint a committee to conduct the next triennial NNI review
as specified in the law. The overall objective for this NNI review is to make recommendations to the
Nanoscale Science, Engineering, and Technology (NSET) Subcommittee and the National
Nanotechnology Coordination Office that will improve the value of the National Nanotechnology
Initiative's (NNI's) strategy and portfolio for basic research, applied research, and applications of
nanotechnology to advance the commercialization, manufacturing capability, national economy, and
national security interest of the United States. Toward this objective the NNI review will include the tasks
listed below.
Examine the role of the NNI in maximizing opportunities to transfer selected technologies to
the private sector, provide an assessment of how well the NNI is carrying out this role, and suggest new

mechanisms to foster transfer of technologies and improvements to NNI operations in this area where
Assess the suitability of current procedures and criteria for determining progress towards NNI
goals, suggest definitions of success and associated metrics, and provide advice on those organizations
(government or non-government) that could perform evaluations of progress; and
Review NNI's management and coordination of nanotechnology research across both civilian
and military federal agencies.

CBS 2 - Search Results
Arrest Made In School Threat
VAN HORNE, IA (CBS2/FOX28) The Benton County Sheriff's Office has a 17-year-old juvenile in custody after a two day investigation made into a threat at Benton High School. He faces two counts of Harassment in the First Degree, which are aggravated misdemeanors. He has been transported to a juvenille center.
The Benton Community School District has been increasing security after a handwritten message was discovered on Tuesday in the Middle School/High School building that threatens students lives.
The message was found written on the wall above a toilet in the boy's restroom.
A CBS2/FOX28 Facebook viewer provided a copy of the email sent to Benton Community Students and Parents, it reads as follows:
This communication is to notify you that a handwritten message and threat was discovered in a boys restroom on the lower level of the MS/HS building this morning by a high school student and reported to a staff member and then to the administration for investigation. The threat was written on the wall in a restroom stall and reads as follows: ON April 17 I am going to blow this school up. Only After I Shoot as many people as I can then kill myself.
This matter is under investigation and any information that can assist the school district and the Benton County Sheriffs Office in finding the party responsible for this action would be greatly appreciated. As a result of this situation, security and awareness will be increased throughout the remainder of this week. Benton Community is working with the Benton County Sheriffs Office and will be taking additional security measures on Thursday in response to the threat. Law enforcement officers will be at the MS/HS on Thursday, April 17th and we will require all students and staff to enter the building for the school day through Entrance # 1. Please know that the school district does not take these threats lightly and supports and believes it necessary to implement the additional safety and security measures for our students and employees. Thank you.
Law enforcement and the school's principal, James Bieschke, were stationed at the school's front entrance on Wednesday all day to watch for suspicious activity. Student's bags were also checked as they entered the building.
Even with the arrest, bomb sniffing dogs will still be taken through the building on Thursday before students report for class. Students are also asked not to bring a backpack or purse. Any items students need for school should be carried in a plastic bag.

Mircera Side Effects
Generic Name: epoetin beta-methoxy polyethylene glycol
Note: This page contains information about the side effects of epoetin beta-methoxy polyethylene glycol. Some of the dosage forms included on this document may not apply to the brand name Mircera.
Not all side effects for Mircera may be reported. You should always consult a doctor or healthcare professional for medical advice. Side effects can be reported to the FDA here.
For the Consumer
Applies to epoetin beta-methoxy polyethylene glycol: injectable solution
Contact your doctor if you feel weak, tired, or short of breath, or if your skin looks pale. These may be signs that your body has stopped responding to this medication.
Epoetin beta-methoxy polyethylene glycol can increase your risk of life-threatening heart or circulation problems, including heart attack or stroke. Seek emergency medical help if you have symptoms of heart or circulation problems, such as:
chest pain or heavy feeling, pain spreading to the arm or shoulder, nausea, sweating, general ill feeling;
feeling short of breath, even with mild exertion;
swelling, rapid weight gain;
sudden numbness or weakness, especially on one side of the body;
sudden headache, confusion, problems with vision, speech, or balance;
chest pain, sudden cough, wheezing, rapid breathing, fast heart rate; or
pain or swelling in one or both legs.
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of an allergic reaction while taking epoetin beta-methoxy polyethylene glycol (the active ingredient contained in Mircera) hives or itchy skin rash; difficulty breathing; fast heart rate; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
Stop using this medication and call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
feeling like you might pass out;
seizure (convulsions);
pain or burning when you urinate; or
dangerously high blood pressure (severe headache, blurred vision, buzzing in your ears, anxiety, confusion, chest pain, shortness of breath, uneven heartbeats, seizure).
Less serious side effects of epoetin beta-methoxy polyethylene glycol may include:
stuffy nose, sore throat, cough;
muscle aches, back pain;
nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation; or
itching, redness, bruising, or swelling where you injected the medication.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Tell your doctor about any unusual or bothersome side effect.
For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to epoetin beta-methoxy polyethylene glycol: injectable solution
Cardiovascular side effects including hypertension (13%) and hypotension (5% ) have been reported.[Ref]
Gastrointestinal side effects including diarrhea (11%), vomiting (6%), and constipation (5%) have been reported.[Ref]
In controlled trials, the rates of serious adverse reactions did not significantly differ between patients receiving epoetin beta-methoxy polyethylene glycol and another erythropoiesis-stimulating agent (ESA) (38% vs. 42%) except for the occurrence of serious gastrointestinal hemorrhage (1.2% vs. 0.2%).[Ref]
Respiratory side effects including nasopharyngitis (11%), upper respiratory tract infection (9% ), and cough (6%) have been reported.[Ref]
Genitourinary side effects including urinary tract infection (5%) have been reported.[Ref]
Nervous system
Nervous system side effects including headache (9%) have been reported.[Ref]
Musculoskeletal side effects including muscle spasms (8%), back pain (6%), and pain in extremity (5%) have been reported.[Ref]
Other side effects including procedural hypotension (8%), fluid overload (7%), arteriovenous fistula thrombosis (5%), and arteriovenous fistula site complication 5% have been reported.[Ref]
Compared to SC administration, the IV route of administration may lessen the risk for development of antibodies to epoetin beta-methoxy polyethylene glycol (the active ingredient contained in Mircera) In 1789 patients treated with epoetin beta-methoxy polyethylene glycol in clinical studies, antibody testing using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was conducted at baseline and during treatment. Antibody development was not detected in any of the patients.
The incidence of antibody formation is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay. Additionally, the observed incidence of antibody (including neutralizing antibody) positivity in an assay may be influenced by several factors including assay methodology, sample handling, timing of sample collection, concomitant medications, and underlying disease. For these reasons, comparison of the incidence of antibodies to epoetin beta-methoxy polyethylene glycol with the incidence of antibodies to other ESAs may be misleading.[Ref]
Immunologic side effects including neutralizing antibodies to erythropoietin, in association with pure red cell aplasia (PRCA) or severe anemia (with or without other cytopenias), have been reported in patients receiving other erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs) during postmarketing experience.[Ref]
Hypersensitivity side effects including tachycardia, pruritus, and rash have been reported.
