Veteran Status and Body Weight: A Longitudinal Fixed-Effects Approach

Get AccessAbstract
About 10–12 % of young men (and increasingly, women) have served a term in the military. Yet, we know relatively little about the consequences of military service for the lives of those who serve. In this article, we provide estimates of the relationship between men's peacetime military service during the all-volunteer era (AVE) and body weight using longitudinal data on 6,304 men taken from the National Longitudinal Survey of 1979 (NLSY-79). Using fixed-effects estimators on up to 13 years of data and numerous controls for time-varying life-course characteristics linked to body weight, we find that veterans of active-duty military service have higher levels of BMI and obesity. We argue that eating habits learned during service, coupled with patterns of physical activity, lead to a situation whereby veterans making the transition to less active civilian lifestyles gain weight that is not lost over time.

Dr. Thomas E. Everhart Director
After serving as Caltech's president and as professor of electrical engineering and applied physics for 10 years, Everhart stepped down to pursue other interests in 1997. During his tenure, Everhart oversaw the construction of the Beckman Institute, the Keck Observatory in Hawaii, the Braun Athletic facility, the Moore Laboratory of Engineering, Avery House, and the Fairchild Library, and the successful completion of the $350 million Campaign for Caltech.
In November of 1998, Everhart was elected to the Caltech Board of Trustees.
Everhart has received numerous honors and awards and has been a member of various national and international societies. He was elected to the Council of the National Academy of Engineering in 1988, and he served as chairman of the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board from 1990 to 1993. From 1990 to 1996 he served as vice chairman of the Council on Competitiveness – a private, nonprofit group of prominent leaders that addresses growth and the competitive position of U.S. corporations in global markets – and he continues to serve on its executive committee. He has also conducted continuing dialogues with federal agencies concerning their support of research and teaching on campus, and with NASA in support of JPL. In addition, he sat on the boards of several large corporations including General Motors, Hewlett-Packard, and Raytheon Company.
Everhart came to Caltech from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he was Chancellor and professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering from 1984 to 1987. From 1979 to 1984 he served as dean of the College of Engineering and professor of Electrical Engineering at Cornell University. After earning his PhD in 1958, Everhart spent 20 years on the faculty at the University of California, Berkeley.
Professor Everhart's research has concentrated on the generation and application of very-small-diameter electron beams, first to scanning electron microscopy and later to microfabrication. Research conducted with graduate students explored the spatial extent of electron energy dissipation in matter, secondary electron emission, electron backscattering, computer-controlled scanning electron microscopy, and other topics. He is one of the pioneers in the fabrication of electronic devices using electron beam lithography. Building on his early work in the field of scanning electron microscopy, his research provided much of the basis for forming microstructures using scanning electron beams to form desired patterns on substrates. Everhart-Thornley detectors are still used in scanning electron microscopes even though the first one was used in 1956.
In 1978, Dr. Everhart was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering for contributions to the electron optics of the scanning electron microscope and to its uses in electronics and biology. In further recognition of his scientific work he has also been elected a member of the Böhmische Physikalische Gesellschaft. He is a Fellow of the American Association of the Advancement of Science, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. He received the IEEE Centennial Medal in 1984, and the ASEE Benjamin Garver Lamme Award in 1989 and Centennial Medallion in 1993. He was elected a foreign member of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 1990, and received the IEEE Founders Medal and Okawa Prize, both in 2002.
Dr. Alvin M. Despain Director
Dr. Alvin M. Despain was formerly Chief Technology Officer of Acorn Technologies before his retirement in 2008. He co-founded Acorn Technologies while on leave from the University of Southern California. At USC, he was Powell Professor of Computer Engineering. In 2001 he become Professor Emeritus at USC.

"On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at" | |
("On Ilkley Moor without a hat") | |
Ilkley Moor, setting of the song.
Music by | Thomas Clark |
Lyrics by | Anonymous |
Published | 1916 |
Written | 1805 (music) 1850s-1870s (words) |
Language | Yorkshire dialect |
"On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at" or "On Ilkla Moor bar tat" (Standard English: On Ilkley Moor without thy hat) is a folk song from Yorkshire, England. It is sung in the Yorkshire dialect, and is considered the unofficial anthem of Yorkshire.[1] According to tradition, the words were composed by members of a Halifax church choir on an outing to Ilkley Moor near Ilkley, West Yorkshire.[2]
The song tells of a lover courting the object of his affections, Mary Jane, on Ilkley Moor without a hat (baht 'at). The singer chides the lover for his lack of headwear – for in the cold winds of Ilkley Moor this will mean his death from exposure. This will in turn result in his burial, the eating of his corpse by worms, the eating of the worms by ducks and finally the eating of the ducks by the singers.
The Yorkshire Dictionary (Arnold Kellett, 2002) said the song (i.e., the lyrics) probably originates from the Halifax area, based on the dialect which is not common to all areas of Yorkshire.
The title is seen in various transcriptions of the dialect, but is most commonly On Ilkla Mooar [or Moor] baht 'at, i.e. "On Ilkley Moor without [wearing] a hat"; idiomatically "On Ilkley Moor deprived of (i.e. barred) hat". Dr Arnold Kellett reports the traditional belief that the song "came into being as a result of an incident that took place during a ramble and picnic on the moor. It is further generally believed that the ramblers were all on a chapel choir outing, from one of the towns in the industrial West Riding".[2]
The first published version of the words appeared in 1916, when it was described as "a dialect song which, for at least two generations past, has been sung in all parts of the West Riding of Yorkshire".[3] Arnold Kellett calculates that the song "could well have originated in the early years of the second half of the [19th] century, and not as late as 1877 ...".[4]
Sung to the Methodist hymn tune "Cranbrook" (composed by Canterbury-based shoemaker Thomas Clark in 1805 and later used as a tune for "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night"), the song became so popular that the origin of the music as a hymn tune has been almost forgotten in the United Kingdom.[5]
Problems playing this file? See media help. |
It is still used for the traditional words "While Shepherds Watched" in some churches including Leeds Parish Church, but no longer widely recognised as a hymn or carol tune in the United Kingdom.
Cranbrook continues in use as a hymn tune in the United States, where it was not adopted as the tune of a popular secular song and is customarily used with the lyrics of Philip Doddridge's "Grace! 'Tis a Charming Sound".[6][7]
Within the lyrics there is a central verse, the first, third and fourth lines are changed with each following verse. All the verses feature the second, fifth, sixth and seventh lines "On Ilkla Mooar baht 'at".
The lyrics include many features of the Yorkshire dialect such as Definite article reduction and H-dropping. Baht is Yorkshire dialect for without.[8]
Many sources[9][10] give the first line as "Wheear wor ta bahn when Ah saw thee?" (Where were you going when I saw you), though "Wheear 'ast tha bin sin' Ah saw thee" is the more common version nowadays.
Some singers add the responses "without thy trousers on" after the fourth line of each verse, and "where the ducks play football" after the seventh. Other variations include "where the nuns play rugby", "where the sheep fly backwards", "where the ducks fly backwards", "where the ducks wear trousers", "an' they've all got spots", and "where they've all got clogs on".
Also in some recitals, after the first two lines of "On Ilkla Mooar baht 'at" it is followed by a "Where's that?". Another variant adds "Howzat?" after the first line and "Not out!" after the second. In Leeds the line immediately before the chorus is often ended with "And we all got wet". In the United States, "Then we will go and eat up the ducks" is often followed by a shouted "Up the Ducks!"
There are also alternative endings, where verse nine states: "There is a moral to this tale", and is followed by a chorus of "Don't go without your hat / Don't go without your hat / On Ilkey moor baht 'at" (which is sung commonly within West Yorkshire), or "Don't go a courtin' Mary Jane" (another variation known in the Scouting movement). Alternatively, verse nine is sung as "There is a moral to this tale", and verse ten as "When courtin' always wear a hat".
The song has been used in various television programmes:
- Yorkshire Television – pre-programme ident 1968–1989 and 1996–2002
- Go With Noakes – 1970s BBC children's television programme
- The Onedin Line - 1970s BBC series. The song is heard in multiple episodes.
- Clouds of Witness – TV adaptation of Dorothy Sayers' murder mystery
- Heartbeat – sung by character Alf Ventress in an episode entitled "In The Bleak Midwinter" (series 14, episode 13, first aired 26 December 2004)
- All Creatures Great and Small - first season of TV series, and film
- A distorted version of the chorus is sung by Eccles (Spike Milligan) in an episode of The Goon Show
Commercial recordings:
- George Formby sang the second verse and the chorus in a medley of British folk songs.
- Chumbawamba - hidden track on Just Look At Me Now CD single; however, this is not a Chumbawamba cover, but rather, an anonymous rendition sourced from a vinyl recording
- Ted Heath recorded a Big Band Swing arrangement of the song in 1945
- Bill Oddie - 1970[11] a parody of the Joe Cocker arrangement of the Lennon–McCartney song "With a Little Help from My Friends"
- Ronnie Hilton recorded a version entitled "Elland Road Baht' at" as a tribute song for Leeds United AFC in 1964.
- The Yorkshire Regiment - 4th Battalion's Quick March
- Anita Rani introduced this song to a class of Chinese primary school children during an improvised English lesson on the BBC TV programme China on Four Wheels which was broadcast in 2012.
- A parody "On Exmoor Baht At" was widely sung at student and Young Liberal conferences in the 1970s. [12]

We can at least clear the ground by looking at the most widely accepted tradition that On Ilkla Mooar came into being as a result of an incident that took place during a ramble and picnic on the moor. It is further generally believed that the ramblers were all on a chapel choir outing, from one of the towns in the industrial West Riding.

Donna, I heard about that group. When I started our support group in Indianapolis in 2000, I wanted it to be focused on topics pertinent to the healing process & we did very well for several years. We tried to organize some social activities, but they didn't go over as well as we had hoped. But things ebb & flow & even though there is an ongoing need for support in this area, the idea of a monthly support group just died out.
Fr. Noah Casey at the Cathedral has gotten a group of single adults meeting once a month downtown. More info can be had from the Family Life Office at the Archdiocese.
The annual Family Mass is coming up soon. Info also on the NACSDC.com website!

Sigh.. He was amazing! He was passionate, entertaining and so attentive. He made me sing and jump with joy as no other has ever done. I screamed his name until I was hoarse. The next day all I could think of was H.I.M. John Legend.
There was just one problem … I had to share him with a multitude of others!
I know, I know, why would I want a man like that you ask? Maybe I am a glutton for punishment or just a dreamer but I truly believe our eyes locked. How you ask? Well with my camera of course! I'm sure you will agree after you check out my pictures that I was right!
1. 2.
(1)When JL first came out he was so bashful, he couldn't even look me in the eyes. (2) When he finally did, I saw stars and so did he!
3. 4.
(3) He was smitten. I knew it because as he sang the passion oozed out. (4) Finally, he came toward me. I was melting!
5. 6.
(5) He knew. He knew it was too much for me. He gave me some space. (6) The hour finally came. I had to run but I left him a reminder, one of my 4 inch heels.
I know you're just as shocked as I am, aren't you?! But its real I tell you! My friends and little brother are my witnesses. They were there with me.
And last but not least this picture is for all the naysayers!
Now do you believe me?!

The forests of Kerala are the natural habitat of the Asian elephants (Elephas maximus). They are often referred to as the sons of the 'Sahya' (the Western Ghats). No festival or celebration is complete without an elephant procession. Rows of majestically caparisoned elephants, replete with colorful silken parasols form the most spectacular part of any event here.
The elephant headed god - Ganapathy(the son of Lord Siva)is worshipped by the millions of hindus in India and hence elephants are revered by the Keralites. These gentle pachyderms have the privilege of carrying the idols of gods during the temple festivals and processions. In Punnathur Kotta - an elephant sanctuary in Guruvayur, around 40 domesticated elephants are groomed for the service of Lord Krishna by the temple management.

Osram beams LED headlights for the Cadillac Escalade Platinum
Osram has worked with Hella to provide LED headlights for the Cadillac Escalade Platinum, to be launched this year.
"Each headlight contains seven Ostar Headlamp LEDs – five for low beam and two for high beam, said Osram. Daytime running light is provided by dimming the low beam. This means there is no need for an extra light source."
Each headlight also has a position light with Osram's white Advanced Power TopLEDs, and a side marker light with yellow Power TopLEDs.
Ostar's generally have more than one die on a heat-spreading package.
"The OSTAR-Headlamp has 5 dies driven at 700mA and consuming 12W," said an Osram spokeswoman. "The maximum current is 1,000mA."
Typical brightness per LED at 12W is 500 lm and it "now achieves peak values of up to 620 lm", said the firm.
Colour temperature is claimed to be 5,500K, "much higher than the 4,000K of xenon light, and Ostar can withstand ambient temperatures from -40 to +125C.

What do people feel about Chalice on Heimer (as recommended in the guide)? I've never gotten it before (always straight to the AP), but I have noticed that without the Golem buff mana is a problem. I suppose it might allow for more spamming early game (though lack of Golem only really becomes a problem when everyone on both teams starts going for it).
Chalice is nice... Usually I get meki pendant to start (have clarity and ghost for summoner spells) and that's enough to keep me in lane til 8 or so. I sometimes get chalice if necessary. Then I'm going for Rylai's as it's HOT on Heimer. boots and Mejai's. Maybe Rod of Ages if you're rich enough. So on.
If you are considering putting RoA on Heimer, you might as well build that first. By the time you build Rylai's, Chalice, Boots, and Mejai's, RoA is not gonna be a viable choice due to time.
Uh, RoA? The stats it gives when matured are nothing to shrug off. It also is the only real item besides Mejai's(and to a lesser extend Tear) that he should build very fast. There's no need to rush Archangels (rushing the tear is a good idea though), no need for Rylai's/Zhonyas/Void Staff/Deathfire Grasp/etc to be rushed either. Archangels isn't gonna give you much of an AP boost until you get some mana behind it. If Mana regen isn't a problem, then no need to get that first either. If you want to rush it to proc sooner, you could just rush the tear alone and wait on upgrading it. You get 400 Mana from it, but you also already get 350 from the Tear. So no I don't see the need to rush that unless you really have a Mana problem, and that's with all other solutions like Golem or Chalice or Clarity being considered as well. There's just nothing on Heimer besides RoA and Mejais that *has* to be built first or very quickly to be effective. You miss out a lot more on building RoA later than building Archangels or Zhonya's or Void staff a bit later. If you are looking for a item to rush, why not make it the item designed to be rushed?
I was referring to early game specifically. If the first item you get is Archangels, the AP it will give you THEN is not gonna be that much. Late game yes it gives you a lot of AP because you have more mana, hence I said "Until you get some mana behind it." Basically I meant you don't need to build it first for it to climb to 202 AP.

Hi, this is a pretty good guide. There are a several points I disagree with you on, though. Midding as Heimerdinger is kind of a waste. He gains nothing from the extra experience, and is just as viable in a twos lane. You are better off giving the lane to an Ashe or Twisted Fate, to be honest. This is especially true in your build, as you don't even take Upgrade! at level six. Midding is especially dangerous with the tactics you suggested--pushing the tower hard and early. Any competent team will call for a gank on mid if you're pushed up too far, which you will be. Your turrets will not be able to save you versus a dedicated gank, and you'll lose your positioning. I believe Heimerdinger is best served in a side lane where he's able to push more effectively with a partner, but you need to be careful of robbing all the last hits from your partner, so be careful with your turret placement. By going on a side lane, you can effectively stop ganks before they happen with a turret that's placed slightly up the river, in range of the creeps still. Since you basically have a sight ward, you're free to push and fall back as you need. You can't do that in mid. Finally, I'm really hesitant to follow your suggestion for getting a Mejai's Soulstealer. The only way I'd get this is if I know that the game's going to be an absolute landslide. Snowball items generally aren't as useful in games where the opposing team is well organized and knows what they're doing.

Last night a small crew of us gathered before our buddies in One Way Station were set to play the Boom Boom Room, and that small gathering got right to the Reggie Watts show at the Mezzanine as the wryly comedian hit the stage to do about an hour of musical comedy theater. It was incredible.
For those not in the know, and I wasn't, Reggie Watts has done opening stints with Conan O'Brien, played Madison Square Garden with LCD Soundsystem, and has been making a name for himself huge in the comedy world. Do not pass up a chance to search YouTube a few times and discover this guy yourself.
Here's a clip of a show he did last week in Denmark:

We are all different and, as such, we will all react differently to sales approaches.
This is why many sales professionals strongly disagree with those who believe cold calling is dead. And they have examples to prove it.
The reality, of course, lies somewhere in the middle.
Even in 2011, a speculative approach can work. There are countless examples where a completely 'cold' call has resulted in big business. It'd be wrong to dismiss any practice as 'dead', simply because we're all so different.
So when people write off cold calling completely, they're just as wrong as the sales professionals who deem any marketing 'pointless'.
But we have to be realistic. What is your first reaction when you receive a 'cold' sales call? Is it to end the call as quickly as possible?
At best, you may take a look at the company in question's website – so, at least from that perspective, the call wasn't pointless. But if you knew nothing of this company before the call, you're highly unlikely to buy anything of them on the basis of one phone call.
Some of you may even be annoyed by it, meaning the call has had the opposite effect of its purpose.
Many businesses are countering the changes in the modern-day buyer by favouring a more gentle lead nurturing process. The buying process, for many, has never been slower and, as such, drip feeding information can be a way of gaining returning business. Most people today will only buy from someone who they know and who they trust.
But how do you then determine when a lead is sales ready?
Even to qualified leads, making a sales call too soon can undo all the previous good work and cost you a potential sale, while leaving it too long before making a sales approach could allow a competitor to swoop in.
This is where a scientific approach needs to be implemented, allowing you to 'score' leads based on their activity. For example, a lead scores +1 one for a visit to your website, another +2 for a visit to your products and services page and +5 for parting with their information.
Then, when they reach a number that you deem to be 'sales-ready', you or your sales team make the call.
Businesses measure sales statistics and they measure marketing statistics. But how about measuring the two together and helping each other out?
Microsoft CRM is one tool which can help you see who is visiting your website and what it is that they're looking at, enabling you to tailor the information you send them and give them exactly what they want.

The year of the 30th birthday party!
So, it has come to that time in my life when I have had to wave a tearful goodbye to my fun loving twenties and face facts that my 30s have just hit me like a derailed train! Amongst the pain, angst and worry about will those bits really start to sag, will life still be fun and can I still wear that at my age without looking like a tart on a promise, a slow realisation sank in that this means a whole host of 30th birthday parties. Yes, as most of my friends are the same age as me they too would be turning 30 at the same time and celebrating/commiserating too.
Could this be the silver lining to this seemingly dark cloud?
Now, having my birthday at the start of the school year means that I am officially the eldest of my group of friends. So, it was my responsibility to start the birthday year off in style. And that I did. The last meet of the York races just so happened to fall on my actual birthday – what luck! A full day of champers, posh dresses, winning bets and of course unsuitable high heels – well it was the races!
After that the party invites really started to roll in with so many different things to do to celebrate entering our fourth decade. Weekend breaks in the Lake District hotels, cheerleading lessons, BBQ with hog roast, exclusive bar hired for the evening, night out in Manchester and the classic music and buffet bonanza.
Then it was the turn of my best friend. By this point I was thinking Ibiza could be on the cards. And then she dropped the (exciting) news – she was pregnant. This meant a quieter celebration was a foot. After weeks of deliberation a decision was made – the next 30th would be a spa day at the Best Western Dower House Hotel in Knaresborough. Hmm, maybe a day away from the stresses of everyday life relaxing with the girls would be exactly what I needed – and I was totally right.
When we arrived we were greeted by the beauty team who gave us drinks, a light breakfast, bath robes and some slippers. We then went into the brand new spa centre and we were instantly in awe. A swimming pool, sauna, steam room, ice bath, pedicure area with sea salt and sand, sun loungers and a Jacuzzi all ours for the day. Believe me; you can actually spend a whole day doing nothing! Of course we all had an hour's treatment as part of the package – I had a hot stone massage and exfoliation treatment. To be honest I cannot remember much of it as after the champagne lunch, handmade chocolates and afternoon tea the massage sent me to sleep in seconds – ah bliss.
I have to say that maybe my thirties are not going to be so bad after all.

David Mark Rubenstein (born August 11, 1949) is an American financier and philanthropist best known as co-founder and co-chief executive officer of The Carlyle Group,[3] a global private equity investment firm based in Washington D.C. He is also currently serving as chairman of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and chairman of the board of trustees at Duke University, his alma mater.[3] According to the Forbes ranking of the wealthiest people in America, Rubenstein has a net worth of $3.1 billion.[2]
Rubenstein grew up an only child in a Jewish family in an exclusively Jewish neighborhood in Baltimore.[4][5] He graduated from the college preparatory high school Baltimore City College, and then from Duke University magna cum laude in 1970. He earned his law degree from the University of Chicago Law School in 1973, where he was an editor of the University of Chicago Law Review. From 1973 to 1975, Rubenstein practiced law in New York with Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. Prior to starting Carlyle in 1987, with William E. Conway, Jr. and Daniel A. D'Aniello, Rubenstein was a domestic policy advisor to President Jimmy Carter and worked in private practice in Washington, D.C.
Although in 2006 private equity activity was booming and larger companies than ever before were bought out, insiders feared the day that it would abruptly end. On two different occasions David Rubenstein expressed this fear. In January 2006, he stated: "This has been a golden age for our industry, but nothing continues to be golden forever".[6] One month later, he emphasized this concern more explicitly: "Right now we're operating as if the music's not going to stop playing and the music is going to stop. I am more concerned about this than any other issue",[7] These concerns proved to be right as at the end of 2007 the buyout market collapsed. This collapse can largely be attributed to the credit crunch, which significantly increased the cost of borrowing. As leveraged loan activity came to an abrupt stop, private equity firms were unable to secure financing for their transactions. As the consequences of the credit crunch unveiled themselves, many previously announced buyouts were cancelled.
In May 2008 David Rubenstein stated: "But once this period is over, once the debt on the books of the banks is sold and new lending starts, I think you'll see the private equity industry coming back in what I call the Platinum Age - better than it's ever been before. I do think that the private equity industry has a great future and that the greatest period for private equity is probably ahead of us."[8]
David Rubenstein's father was a post office worker earning $7000 annually and his mother a house wife. In a speaking engagement at the University of Maryland, he revealed that his mother wanted him to grow up and become a dentist. Rubenstein has stated that he was once offered to meet Mark Zuckerberg before he dropped out of Harvard but decided against it. This is his single greatest investment regret.[9]
He lives in Bethesda, Maryland, and is married to Alice Rubenstein (née Alice Nicole Rogoff), founder of the Alaska House New York and the Alaska Native Arts Foundation. They were married on May 21, 1983.[10] They have three children together.
Rubenstein is among the group of American billionaires who have pledged to donate more than half of their wealth to philanthropic causes or charities as part of The Giving Pledge.
He has made large gifts to Duke University, the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, Johns Hopkins University, and the University of Chicago Law School.
He was elected to the Board of Trustees of the University of Chicago on May 31, 2007.[11]
On December 18, 2007, David Rubenstein purchased the last privately owned copy of the Magna Carta at Sotheby's auction house in New York for $21.3 million.[12] He has lent it to the National Archives in Washington D.C.[13] In 2011, Rubenstein gave $13.5 million to the National Archives for a new gallery and visitor's center.[14]
Rubenstein was elected Chairman of the Board of the Kennedy Center, Washington, DC, starting in May 2010. He is Vice Chairman of the Board of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, New York, and chairman of its fundraising drive. A new atrium was named for him.[15] He is on the board of regents of the Smithsonian Institution.[16]
In December 2011, Rubenstein donated $4.5 million to the National Zoo for its giant panda reproduction program.[17] The panda complex was then named the David M. Rubenstein Family Giant Panda Habitat for the next five years and conservation biologists in the U.S. and China who are awarded National Zoo fellowships for their work to save pandas would be named "David M. Rubenstein Fellows."[18]
In 2012, he donated $7.5 million towards the repair of the Washington Monument.[19][20]
In 2013, he donated $50 million to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts which is being used for 65,000 square foot addition.[21]
In April 2013, he donated $10 million to the Thomas Jefferson Foundation which will be used to rebuild at least two buildings in the slave community on Mulberry Row at Monticello. The funds will also be used to restore Jefferson's original road scheme, restore the second and third stories of Jefferson's home which are currently mostly empty, and replace infrastructure.[22]
In November 2013, he bought a copy of the Bay Psalm Book for $14.1 million, the highest price ever paid for a printed book, and pledged to lend it to public collections and exhibitions around the world.[23]
Rubenstein has made several gifts to Duke University. He donated $5 million to Duke's Sanford School of Public Policy in 2002, after which Rubenstein Hall was named for him. In 2009, he donated an additional $5.75 million to the school.[24] In 2011, he also donated $13.6 million to the Duke University Libraries in support of renovating the university's special collections library, which was named the David M. Rubenstein Rare Book & Manuscript Library.[25] In 2012, he donated $15 million to support the university's Innovation and Entrepreneurship Initiative.[26] That same year, he gave another $10 million to support Duke Athletics.[27] In 2013, Rubenstein donated $10 million to fund graduate fellowships and undergraduate internships at the Sanford School of Public Policy.[28]

Declaration of Independence!
Submitted by The Pen on Wed, 07/03/2013 - 19:42Submitted 7/3/13:
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security".
These words are the bell of our founding principles as much as they are to their demise should we forget and fail to resuscitate them. I hope all who read this have a renewed sense of Patriotism this day and that we remember that the American Revolution was in fact a succession from tyranny.
Submitted to the Albany Democrat Herald in Albany, Oregon letter-to-the-editor.
I hope you all have the greatest 4th of July yet - peace and love.

5 Signs You'll Keep Your New Year's Resolutions
by Toby Amidor in Small Steps, January 16, 2013The new year brings New Year's resolutions. If you're making the same ones year after year and they're not sticking, it's time to rethink your strategy. But if you've been successful so far, these 5 signs will let you know that the resolution you made this year is a promise you can keep.
#1: You Made a Specific Resolution
In order to become healthier, you want to make specific and achievable short-term goals. These goals become habits over time. Instead of making a resolution that you'll lose 50 pounds this year, make a more specific goal on how you will achieve it. Some specific goals include:
- I will eat 5 servings of vegetables 3 days a week.
- I will go to Zumba class twice every week.
- I will switch from white to brown rice.
- I will make time for breakfast every day.
Here are more examples of small goals that pave the way to bigger changes.
#2: You've Set a Realistic Resolution
In order to set attainable goals, ask yourself the following questions:
- Is there anything that will stand in my way?
- Do I feel capable of achieving my set goal?
- Am I motivated or excited to perform the tasks needed to achieve your goal?
#3: You've Set Reasonable Time Frames
I have heard the following goal countless times: I will hit the gym for 1 hour each day. After about 2 to 3 weeks life continues and you start going to the gym 4 days a week, then 3, then 2 and if you make it once a month it's a miracle. Instead, take a good hard look at your work schedule, family commitments, and personal life and set a time frame that you can really stick to.
#4: You've Make Yourself Accountable
Whispering a promise to yourself is one thing, writing it down is a whole other ballgame. Once it's on paper and hanging on your bathroom mirror or refrigerator door, it acts as a reminder of a promise you made yourself.
The website Stickk.com is an online contract you can make. The website was developed by Yale University economists who tested the effectiveness of making commitment contracts through field research. You can even up the stakes by putting some money on the line—and donating it if you fail to achieve your goal.
#5: You're Tracking Your Progress
Monitoring and measuring your progress helps give you a visual on how you're doing. You can keep a food diary or there are many online or smartphone apps that can help you keep track such as My Fitness Pal, Spark People, Fit Day, Lose It! and USDA's Choose My Plate.
If you're already started making any of the following excuses, chances are you'll never stick to your resolution—and January isn't even over!
- I'll go to the gym or start my healthy weight loss plan tomorrow.
- I'm too tired.
- I don't feel well.
- I have too much work to do.
It's never too late to re-make your resolutions so they're do-able.
TELL US: What's your New Year's resolution and have you kept it so far?

Airport News
London Heathrow Airport could be hit by BA strikes
Thu, 08 Oct, 2009
London Heathrow Airport would see many of its flights seriously affected if strikes by British Airways (BA) staff go ahead.
Industrial action could be possible in the UK after trade union Unite reacted furiously to an announcement by BA that cabin crew staff must accept longer hours or leave the company.
The 14,000 BA cabin crew employees have been told that they must make their decision on the two-year pay freeze by November 16th 2009.
Unite has refused to rule out the possibility of strike action and warned of a long, drawn-out confrontation with BA unless it withdraws the proposal.
More than 90 per cent of British Airways flights from London Heathrow Airport now operate from Terminal 5.
Steve Turner, Unite officer for aviation, said: "Unite will vigorously defend BA's loyal staff and its customer base and will not see standards driven into the ground by this management team."
But BA said it hoped to avoid strikes and was due to hold a meeting with Unite next week.

Join us Sundays at 10am!
Come and experience worship in the Sanctuary, where traditions meet thoughtful contemporary perspectives. Please join us afterwards for refreshments and conversation in the Parish Hall. On Sunday, March 8th Emmanuel Music will perform Bach Cantata 54, Widerstehe doch der Sünde [Just resist sin] as part of the worship service.
The Still, Small Voice of One Girl
Learning to Listen in Uganda
Hearing Bach's cantatas at Emmanuel Church each week has encouraged me to listen in a whole new way. I carried this evolving aural ability with me as I traveled to Uganda to learn about the health and wellbeing of women and children.
I set off with two other American women into a rural mountainous region near the Democratic Republic of Congo. A few days prior to our arrival, a massive flood had swept away entire villages in the Rwenzori Mountains, leaving a wide plain of mud and debris in the town of Kasese, where we were staying.

Finding Our Faith
"Book officiant." That's what all the bridal magazines told me to do at least nine months before the wedding.
To be honest, with a year to plan I'd been more preoccupied with short ribs or halibut, buttercream or fondant, than with deciding who would perform our ceremony. But somewhere between selecting mini crab flautas to be served during cocktail hour and corn bisque for a starter, I realized the menu shouldn't be my top priority. For the first time, Eric and I would have to explicitly address our different religious backgrounds and decide how Judaism and Christianity would factor into our life together.

Ihr Seid die Gesegneten des Herren
During a worship service a while back, the chorus of Emmanuel Music sang a motet Der Herr denket an uns, which is #9 in Johann Hermann Schein's Israels Brünnlein collection. The text is from Psalm 115, verses 12–15. I sat there in my usual spot in the third row, soaking up the beauty in my usual way—not following along in the program but just watching the singers, players, and John Harbison's conducting dance. And listening. Listening with a ferocious desire for bigger ears so I could take in this miracle of sound that we call music.
