The emerging public health problem of type 2 diabetes in youth reflects increasing rates of childhood obesity. As in adults, type 2 diabetes in children is part of the insulin resistance syndrome that includes hypertension, dyslipidemia and other atherosclerosis risk factors, and hyperandrogenism seen as premature adrenarche and polycystic ovary syndrome. Studies in children document risk factors for type 2 diabetes and associated cardiovascular risk factors, including obesity, family history, diabetic gestation, and underweight or overweight for gestational age. Genetically determined insulin resistance, or limited β-cell reserve, has been demonstrated in high risk individuals. This genetic background, considered advantageous in a feast and famine existence (the thrifty genotype), is rendered detrimental with abundant food and physical inactivity, a lifestyle demonstrated to be typical of families of children with type 2 diabetes.
Case finding in high risk individuals who are asymptomatic may be an appropriate response to the public health challenge of type 2 diabetes in children, because risk factors for cardiovascular disease are already present at the time of diagnosis. Treatment is dictated by the degree of metabolic derangement and symptoms. The only data on the use of oral hypoglycemic agents in children has been with metformin. Prevention efforts will require community and government involvement to reduce obesity and increase physical activity in the child, as well as adult, population.

"It's a changing paradigm," says Shawn Jenkins, founder and chief executive officer of Benefitfocus, a technology company that produces the underlying software for insurance exchanges. "Technology is part of that, economics is part of that, politics is part of that, and consumer expectation is part of that.... An employee would say, 'why do I only get one option? I want a lot of options, I want it on my phone, why can't I just see this stuff?' "
Yet some industry analysts see private exchanges as simply another way to sell insurance or package employee benefits online. Many are not convinced technology will offer the cost-saving efficiencies its self-interested promoters insist it will.
"You're seeing a lot of talk about private exchanges, not a lot of action," says Thom Mangan, chief executive of United Benefit Advisors, an employee benefits advisory firm in Chicago. "Employers are taking a wait-and-see approach – except for the very national companies, such as Walgreens and Darden."
"With the profound changes in the insurance market, that distribution methodology is a bit of sideshow," adds Mark Lutes, a health-care lawyer at Epstein Becker Green in Washington, D.C. "We're so Expedia-focused that we think that the solution is somehow the presentation as opposed to the product.... That's just moving around the deck chairs of the Titanic."
Changes already under way in the health-care industry could accelerate the use of online exchanges, however. Over the past decade, large corporations have almost uniformly stopped paying health insurance altogether, opting instead to "self-fund," or "self-insure."
This means that most large private employers today – 83 percent, according to a recent survey by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation – are paying the costs of their employees' health care directly. They still work with insurance companies, because insurance companies are primarily the ones who negotiate with hospitals and care networks on pricing. In that sense, employers are simply "renting" the insurance company's networks, and paying them an administrative fee to process their employees' claims. But if a worker gets sick, the employer pays the bill. The employer does often pay for a "stop-loss" insurance policy, which will cover claims over an amount like, say, $20,000.

CGWS: Feminists Rethink Neo-Liberalism - Workshop TWODate: 18 March 2009 Time: 2.00 - 6.00pm
Gendered Fields Series Feminists Rethink Neo-Liberalism: Work/Space and Making Difference Workshop 2: Wednesday 18th March 2009, 2 - 6pm Venue: Lancaster University Management School, Lecture Theatre 5. SPEAKERS: Professor Liz Bondi, University of Edinburgh Professor Wendy Larner, University of Bristol Sponsored by the Institute of Advanced Study, Lancaster University and the Lancaster Professions Network This is the second of two workshops organised through the Centre for Gender & Women's Studies by Anne Cronin (Sociology) and Elaine Swan (Management). This workshop builds on the themes developed in Workshop One in January with Professor Ros Gill. The workshop will explore the following themes: the multiple spaces of neo-liberalism; the changing spatialities of gendered work, resistance and politics; and space as performative and gendered. · Professor Liz Bondi's research interests span feminist geography, social geography, geographies of health, and counselling studies. Her current research focuses on psychotherapies as socio-spatial practices, emotional and psychoanalytic geographies, emotions and qualitative research methods, voluntarism in mental health care, and geographies of subjectivity. She is also co-editor with Nina Laurie of Working the Spaces of Neoliberalism: Activism, Professionalisation and Incorporation, which helped inspire the development of these workshops. Other recent co-edited books include Emotional Geographies and Subjectivities, Knowledges and Feminist Geographies. Liz has also published widely on gender and geography and counselling practices. · Professor Wendy Larner has a long standing research interest in theorising neo-liberalism and 'post-welfarist' governance. Drawing on interdisciplinary fields of globalisation, governance and gender and links to critical social theory, Larner has a strong commitment to empirical research. Her aim is to challenge conventional understandings of globalisation as an inevitable 'new reality' by showing that it is a contested and contradictory process in the making. She is the co-editor with William Walters of Global Governmentality: Governing International Spaces and has published widely on the New Economy, the fashion industry and neo-liberalism and governance. Professor Maureen McNeil, Sociology, CESAGEN and Centre for Gender and Women's Studies will be the respondent to both speakers. Papers for both speakers will be circulated prior to the workshop. We plan to have dinner with the speakers after the event - please let us know if you would like to join us. There is no fee for Lancaster participants, but advance registration is required. There is a fee of £10 for external participants. If you would like to attend, please contact Jane Collins, Centre for Gender & Women's Studies. Email: email@example.com If you would like to attend the meal in the evening please also contact Jane.

3. You refuse to drink milk.
4. You have to keep your friend away from all sharpies because he/she once drew a transmutation circle on the carpet with one.
5. Your friends won't let you touch the sharpies because you drew a transmutation circle on the carpet of your bedroom with one.
6. The circle is still there because none of you can bear to clean it off.

Thank you so much for your support! We are very thankful for the kindness and generosity you show. With your help, Grameen Foundation is continuing to improve the lives of farmers like Justine in Uganda with our Community Knowledge Worker (CKW) Project.
The youngest of nine children to a poor Ugandan farmer, Justine grew up understanding the value of knowledge and hard work. She watched her family struggle to get by and envisioned a better life – Justine wanted to excel and make a difference. While her father struggled to make ends meet, her mother knew the importance of education and supported her daughter through school. Justine was the first of her family to go to college, where she earned her teaching degree.
Soon a wife and mother of four, Justine faced the same hardships. Her husband taught at a local school and she tended their small farm and raised their young children. She made little income on her patches of coffee, bananas, and beans and her animals were often sick – the cows produced little milk and once a pregnant goat delivered kids that all died from disease.
Justine, however, was still driven by her dream of success and independence. Her cousin told her about Grameen Foundation's Community Knowledge Worker (CKW) project and soon she was nominated by her community. Now with her smartphone and CKW training, Justine finally had access to the knowledge that would help her support her family. She could produce more crops and keep her animals healthy. Her cows, which used to produce 3 liters of milk each week, now produce 10 liters –more than 3 times as much milk!
As a CKW, Justine also serves her community. She visits 10 neighboring farmers every week to answer their questions about when to plant and harvest, how to keep their animals healthy, and what the best market prices are. Justine is a well-respected member of her village and loves that she can improved her own skills and better the lives of others. As she says, "Knowledge will help you all the days of your life."
Thanks to your generosity, we have accomplished the following:

Thank you so much for your support! We are very thankful for the kindness and generosity you show. With your help, Grameen Foundation is continuing to improve the lives of farmers in Uganda with our Community Knowledge Worker (CKW) Project.
Your donations to Grameen Foundation have helped people like Mary and her family of five who live in rural northern Uganda. Despite struggling at times, Mary has always been an honorable and respected member of her community. In 2008, she was nominated by her peers to become a Community Knowledge Worker (CKW) for Grameen Foundation.
Since then, Mary has been trained and equipped with a special smartphone containing a searchable database with agricultural, seasonal, and livestock information. Now Mary visits 6-7 farmers a week to answer their questions about when to plant, how to get the best price for their crop and when to harvest. With the income she makes as a CKW, she has been able to bring her family above the poverty line, as well as help combat poverty in Uganda.
Mary has also seen a change in the roles of female farmers in Uganda, and has been proud to watch her role result in more respects for the women in households. With women playing a bigger role in decision-making, and the information Mary provides, families are able to send their children to school, put food on the table, and save farms from disappearing.

Thanks to your generosity, we have accomplished the following:
Your donations to Grameen Foundation have helped people like John, a farmer and CKW in Uganda. John, a father of five, was selected as a leader from within his community to serve as a CKW. Using the mobile technology and training provided by Grameen Foundation, John was able to completely transform his crops and become an expert farmer trained to provide helpful farming advice for his village. John learned better spacing techniques and also how to use the right kind of fertilizer for his crops. With these changes and more, John was able to earn TEN TIMES more from his farm! Because of hard work and donors like you, John, his family, and his farmer neighbors are on their way to a brighter future.
Once again, THANK YOU! Because of the changes you help to make possible, farmers such as John have to opportunity to reach their potential and to create productive livelihoods for themselves and their families.
TweetWe're so thankful for all the support that helped us achieve our previous fundraising goal for our Community Knowledge Worker (CKW) project. We're excited to announce that we've increased our goal to in order to reach even more farmers!
With our CKW project, farmers are getting the information they need to improve their livelihoods and provide for their families. Our CKWs and the farmers they serve are sharing the information they learn with others – instilling lasting knowledge and positive change across entire villages.
So far, we have achieved the following thanks to your generosity:
The information that CKWs learn and impart is essential to the success of local farmers. Angel, a cacao farmer in Colombia, used to struggle with pests, flooding, and other dangers to his crop. Then, he connected with a Grameen Foundation CKW who used a mobile phone to search for information about crop management, market prices, and fair trade certification. Angel consulted regularly with his CKW and learned to grow better crops. Now, Angel is a member of the Asocati agricultural cooperative and is on track to becoming certified by Fairtrade International! He has also started selling chickens and eggs to make more money.
Thank you once again for your compassion and generosity. You are helping poor farmers get the information they need to manage their crops and lift themselves out of poverty. Won't you consider making another donation today so that we can help even more farmers?
TweetWE DID IT! Thanks to your support, we have reached our fundraising goal for our Community Knowledge Worker (CKW) project. We are so grateful for your enthusiasm and generosity in helping poor farmers help themselves through access to information that can improve and increase their crops and livestock.
Together, we've reached the following milestones:
Your donations to Grameen Foundation have helped Ugandans like Charles Chebet, a farmer and CKW in northern Uganda. A father of four, Charles has improved his coffee harvest thanks to the smartphone and training provided by Grameen Foundation. He has even added bananas, cabbage, and vegetable crops to his farm, as well as goats and pigs.
As a CKW, Charles has connected hundreds of other farmers to advice, technical assistance, and equipment loans. When a disease was affecting area banana crops, Charles used the information from his phone to create a simple mixture that saved his farmer neighbors' banana crops from ruin.
Charles is proud to serve his community and hopes to do even more to improve farming in his area. As he says, "I am supposed to visit more than 100 farmers every month, but I always [visit] more. I have bought some equipment, which helps me have a bigger harvest and teach other farmers about these practices. We want to help farmers get better fertilizers, seeds, and tools. Maybe a shop can open here that sells those things. Maybe I can do that in the future."
Once again, THANK YOU for providing vital information that helps smallholder farmers lead more productive livelihoods. With your help, you have connected some of Uganda's poorest people to their potential and enabled them to have even brighter plans for the future.

Fantastic townhome and great neighborhood. I have found that the response to maintenance issues is not always Read More very quick and that has created some challenges. Once maintenance comes, they do an excellent job, but sometimes it takes awhile to get a response.

Wonderful & safe location, attractive homes, nice backyards and --above all-- reasonable prices! My only sugge Read Morestions are faster maintenance responses (has taken up to a week, and then we called) and better indoor wall paint (collects dirt easily and can't clean it or wipe it without leaving a permanent mark).

My favorite holiday is coming up on Monday, and there are going to be lots of events going on around town.

MLK Day, '08 (or, Maybe Chicklet looked suspicious)
Yesterday, Bus Nerd and I celebrated our favorite holiday in our usual fashion: by busing to different events around the city. This year, Chicklet celebrated with us, and all went well (48 to Franklin for the annual rally and march, another Laura "Piece" Kelley sighting)–that is until we tried to catch the 8 from King Memorial Park, where the march ended, to the Center House, where the CD Forum was presenting a staged reading of "Our God is Marching On."
Unfortunately, the 8 driver wasn't feeling the holiday spirit. He drove past the …

Hey Lyte, I think a big part of the toxic players turning into nice players is that honor is now displayed. Don't you think a big incentive of toxic players to change their ways would be to put up their harassment numbers just as their honor is shown? Such as "this player has been reported in 100% of his games" wouldn't such info if shown to the public also make the toxic player want to change his ways?
LYTE - PERTAINING TO "PREVIOUSLY TOXIC PLAYERS DOING A 180" You do realize that players you call "Toxic" are mostly good people who just are emotional and passionate? So they get upset easily, but it doesn't mean they aren't good, nice people in other games. There is such a thing as being reported in 1 game for telling your teammate he sucks and he's a noob, and then earning honor in your next game for being cooperative and showing great teamwork and friendliness.
Bunny Killer
any data or anything to share to calm my nerves down? im a believer that the people who get the most honor are specifically trying to get their honor by being forcibly polite. there's nothing wrong with that in itself, but if you are determining rewards for the most honorable, it would seem like normally nice players who don't get honored just for spewing out false praises to their team will get ignored because they dont get as much honor. i love rewards im afraid that just being normally nice could make me lose out on things here
I see streaming players get around +3 honor every game. One streamer said all the top players give honor to each other because they're all friends because they play with each other all the time. I thought honor was meant for exceptional behavior, not playing with your friends. Also you say honor given to you by a premade person isn't valued as highly as honor from a stranger but on your profile it'll count as 1 honor per report regardless...so there are invisible numbers? What is the point in displaying the numbers at all if they don't actually mean what you think they do.
Junior Member
The honor system was a great, unexpected change to the game. Most of the games I've played in ranked since it went live have been a lot more positive in general. It's most noticeable when someone is having a bad game and they don't get chewed out like they used to. Kudos!
when you said trader did you mean traitor?
Movia Leroy
I love this concept. I'll be able to tell who will be enjoyable to play w/ and will be more inclined to befriend more players at least based on their recognition, and their play effort. thank you riot!
Hey Lyte I like the system. I was just wondering about Crests and whether it was percentage based or was a flat number? I know Honor is weighed differently, but is it like 15% of people honored you you get ribbon or is it 30 points you get a ribbon? Also I got 7 honorable opponents once. I know some were from he game before. I got a penta and lost, guess people felt bad

Edibles complexity: Gluten-free bakers rise to meet the demand
The line winding around the entrance to the Tri-County Celiac Support Group's food fair in 2009 caught Jill Bommarito off guard.
The future founder of St. Clair Shores-based Ethel's Edibles Gluten Free Baking Co. LLC was at the Farmington Hills event to support a family member suffering from the disease.
According to the Mayo Clinic, celiac disease is an immune reaction to eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye, making it all but impossible for celiac sufferers to eat products made from those ingredients.
In April 2011, Bommarito returned to the food fair, which offers an opportunity to market to celiac consumers, but this time she brought her gluten-free Pecan Dandys and Hot Blondies to test the market.
She said she was overwhelmed by the favorable response; she was then approached by Plum Market and Hiller's Markets asking Bommarito to put Ethel's Edibles products (the name is in honor of her late grandmother) in their stores.
There was only one problem:
"I didn't have a product line, and I never even made a sale at that point," Bommarito said. "It took a while to get going."
Now, her gluten-free products are in 30 retail outlets around metro Detroit and will be carried in 19 Sparty's stores in East Lansing and Michigan State University's Combo-X-Change, which offers food to students, faculty and visitors.
Ethel's Edibles will also be sold at Joe Louis Arena starting Thursday, and she is working to get them into Comerica Park this summer.
Bommarito is also working with Austin, Texas-based Whole Foods Market Inc. to supply all of its 43 Midwest grocery stores.
"I can have as many clients as I want," she said. "I just need the space and equipment because, right now, I can't meet demand."
In 2012, Ethel's Edibles, located at 22314 Harper Ave., generated $146,000 in revenue. This year, Bommarito said, she is on pace to generate about $600,000 in sales.
Ethel's Edibles are not cheap. A three-pack of Pecan Dandys costs from $8.50 to $10 in grocery stores.
"I want to be known for having high standards, like the gluten-free Zingerman's," she said. "People will pay for a food experience."
But she isn't the only one cashing in on the gluten-free craze.
Steve Ciric, owner of Plymouth-based One Bite at a Time Corp. dba Rumi's Passion Gluten Free Bakery, owned and operated a conventional bakery called Wild Flours before switching over to a 100 percent gluten-free operation.
After studying the dangers of cross-contamination, which can be deadly to those suffering from celiac disease, he closed down his traditional bakery.
"I came to the conclusion that in order to do gluten-free, I needed a new workplace," he said. "You can't do gluten-free and conventional baking in the same place."
So in 2008, Ciric began baking his gluten-free cakes and cookies out of an 800-square-foot kitchen with nothing more than a small convection oven capable of holding just five baking trays at a time.
That didn't last long.
By 2010, he moved into a 6,000-square-foot facility, at 41120 Five Mile Road in Plymouth, and has more than 40 retail clients.
"Now that I have a larger facility, I am looking for larger deals because I now have the capacity," Ciric said.
He said sales doubled from 2008 to 2009 and increased 30 percent in 2010, and 20 percent in 2011, 2012 and 2013. Ciric said revenue could hit $500,000 this year.
Jim Hiller, founder of Southfield-based Hiller's Markets, said he carries more than 5,000 gluten-free products at his largest stores and gluten-free products make up about 15 percent of his total sales.
"It's growing exponentially now," Hiller said. "At first I was a skeptic. I really thought this was sizzle and not steak."
Hiller said he now believes gluten-free is more than a fad and even has two employees dedicated to finding new gluten-free products to carry in his markets.
"Demand for good-tasting gluten-free products is growing exponentially now," he said. "Once you reach a taste profile that is identical, there is no reason not to be gluten-free."
But gluten-free wasn't always an attractive selling point.
Jackie Victor, vice president of retail for Detroit-based Avalon International Breads, said the customer base for gluten-free items has changed dramatically over the last decade.
"Ten years ago, the only people who were eating gluten-free had celiac disease," Victor said. "If you screw that up, you can put people in real danger, and we didn't feel safe taking it on."
Avalon does not offer any gluten-free items, but Victor said that could change.
"I know a lot of people who don't eat gluten because it's more of a lifestyle choice," she said. "Now that it isn't just about a health concern, we are starting to look at what can we introduce product-wise, never wanting to sacrifice taste or quality in any way."
Although his gluten-free bakery has seen five years of consecutive growth, Ciric remains cautious.
"My concern is that I've seen fads come and go," Ciric said. "I am not a nutritionist or a medical professional, so I don't promote a gluten-free lifestyle and I don't lecture people about it. I just want to make great-tasting gluten-free products."

"A yummy rice casserole that does not require an oven. My husbands favorite!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
2 cups instant rice
1 (15 ounce) can condensed French onion soup
2 (10.75 ounce) cans condensed cream of mushroom soup
1/4 pound butter, cubed
Too easy! So simple and very good. I did not have a can of onion soup so I substituted a can of beef broth and minced 1/4 of an onion. I also seasoned with a sprinkle of garlic powder, seasoned salt, and black pepper. After making the dish, I then thought instead of adding the dry seasonings, one could dash the recipe with a little worcestershire. Whatever way you choose to make this recipe, keep in mind that it's very good on it's own so it does not need more than a sprinkle of seasonings. We will definitely make this again!!
Followed the recipe, my daughter liked it but it had way........ to much butter. It was almost floating in it, had to had some whole wheat bread crumbs to soak it up. Don't know if I will try it again or not.
51 Ratings
Great recipe! Like others suggested, I pre-cooked the rice before combining it with the liquids and used oven instead of microwave. Half an hour on 375 degrees without a cover and I had delicious rice with almost no work from me! Thanks for sharing, I will definitely make this again.
Wow! My hubby, myself and my 3 year old LOVED this! I used just a 10 oz can of french onion soup and two cans of the cream of mushroom. Only 2 ozs butter and cooked it the 10 mins, stirred, cooked another 15 and it was WONDERFUL! Thanks!
My boyfriend's sister gave me this recipe a few months back and now we make it all the time at home. It is so easy because there is not a lot of work to put into it and it can cook in the microwave while you are preparing other dishes. However we use a different variation of this recipe.. 1.) Melt the butter in the microwave by itself. 2.) Then add the rice. 3.) Pour 1 can of french onion soup & 1 can of beef consomme on top of rice- Do not stir! 4.) Cook for 20 minutes. Then stir it up and put it back in the microwave for 5-10 more minutes to make sure the rice is fully cooked. You will LOVE this recipe!
Easy and Good.
This was really excellent! I substituted water and one packet of onion soup mix for the can of soup and also precooked regular rice as many others did. It turned out great in the microwave. The only thing I didn't care for was the butter - there was entirely too much. Decreasing 1 stick of butter by 1/4 would most likely be fine. The casserole was literally swimming in butter.
This recipe was really good! I made it for my boyfriend and myself, and he really loved it since he doesn't like french onion. I decided to make a few modifications though. I cooked the rice in chicken broth until the rice was half way done, then baked it in the oven on 350 since I'm not big on making dishes in the microwave. But I will definitely be making this again.

A 'breach' between history and Hollywood
The new film "Breach," starring Chris Cooper and Ryan Phillippe, depicts the true story of the FBI's most notorious mole – as seen through the lens of Hollywood, of course (see movie review). Anytime moviemakers stand in as history teachers – bearing the familiar disclaimer, "inspired by true events" – their tales often raise the question, "did it really happen like that?" After all, movies often favor drama over, well, facts.
But this new spy vs. spy flick, about a young agent who helped bring down Robert Hanssen, the most famous spy in American history, gets high marks from the young man behind the headlines.
"It's very true to the spirit of events," says Eric O'Neill, comfortably ensconced in a suite at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills. Now a lawyer with a quick smile and bright brown eyes, he says he left the FBI because "that life is too stressful," particularly on a marriage.
The story came to Hollywood after his brother David, an actor and writer, encouraged Mr. O'Neill to share his tale, even introducing him to the film's screenwriters, Adam Mazer and William Rotko. With permission from his former employer, O'Neill consulted on, and is now helping to promote, the film about the month and a half of near daily terror he spent undercover as Hanssen's assistant.
However, says the former junior spy who, despite his serious gray business suit, could still pass as for a college student, the big-screen version does take dramatic liberties. Perhaps the most important may seem small to outsiders, he says. It took him a long time to actually gain Mr. Hanssen's confidence and even longer to converse freely with him. Much of the most damaging evidence he gathered emerged from those conversations. In contrast, in the film, Ryan Phillippe (as O'Neill) strides into Hanssen's office and begins a friendly banter almost immediately. More dramatically, at one point in the film the longtime spy takes the greenhorn agent deep into snowy woods and brandishes a gun at him. When Hanssen shoots the weapon, barely missing his apprentice, there is little chance the audience will miss the message: the older man is a deadly threat to his protégé.


text: A new teaser trailer for Kill Your Darlings came out over the weekend. The description for the video is simple, "A murder in 1944 draws together the great poets of the beat generation: Allen Ginsberg, Jack Kerouac and William Burroughs." In the film Daniel Radcliffe plays beat poet Allen Ginsberg, and marks as Radcliffe's first gay sex scene. Watch the interview with the cast and crew for more info about that after the jump!

Broken-Down Russian Minivans; Wild Mongolian Horses
Day 35: The UVZ, I'm sad to say, started showing signs of its price today. We headed out from camp, and I took a turn behind the wheel and freaking loved it. It's like driving a cross between a tractor and a minivan. The dashboard is punched out of a single sheet of metal. I have a strong sense that the UVZ factory hasn't changed much since the 1960s.
"Head out on the highway..." |
It didn't fare so well on the highway, however. First, the rear passenger door handle came off. The problem was that someone tried to open the door. Later, we stopped for a pee break and noticed that the right front wheel assembly was running hot. The drum brake caliper--that's right, only four-wheel drum brakes on this baby--was rubbing up against something. Another pee break, another problem: the left front tire was balding on the outside. The alignment seemed fine, which meant it was probably an axle issue. But please keep in mind that it only cost $12,000, right off the showroom floor. I still say it's a great deal.
Our destination was Hustai National Park, one of the last refuges of the Mongolian wild horse. This interesting and unusual species was rendered extinct in Mongolia, and it's only because there were specimens still living in foreign zoos that its reintroduction was possible. They're about the same size as domesticated Mongolian horses, but they have two extra chromosomes, which makes them an entirely different species. They have short manes, white muzzles and short tails.
"Or whatever comes our way..."
"Like a true nature's child, We were born, born to be wild..."*
We drove out into the park and found a herd. We stopped and watched them graze. It was what's called a bachelor herd. All males. The stallions kick out young males from the herd as soon as they reach adolescence so they can keep all the mares all to themselves. I once saw a show about wild horses on TV. It was called Big Love.
Tomorrow, I board a train for Russia. It will take me thousands of miles north, then east, through taiga, tundra, next to Lake Baikal, before ending up in Moscow. My hope is that the Russians do a better job of making trains than they do with 4x4 vans.

The only state in the Union with Napoleonic Code and parishes instead of counties has always been a little different thanks to its French roots. However, today's Louisiana has similar business licenses and permits to other states. In fact, it regulates significantly at the state level while even New Orleans, its largest city, remains light on licenses and permits.
In Louisiana, yoga, Fitness and Martial Arts Studios provide therapeutic and beneficial physical activity and recreation. However, like all businesses they need licenses and permits to operate legally. In some cities, such as Chicago, any business providing recreational activities with children needs a special license. In other places, places of exercise need special health club or health spa permits that come with safety and health inspections.

Wow! Some words are, like, really old!
Even words bearing the stamp of one particular era often go back surprisingly deep into earlier times.
I have an etymological nugget I've been saving, like a special chocolate bar, until the occasion is right. Here it is: The interjection Wow, as "a natural expression of amazement," goes back to the 1510s. Yes, you read that right – early in the 16th century.
Wow! That is pretty amazing, isn't it? (Sorry, I couldn't resist.) According to the Online Etymology Dictionary, wow was originally "a Scottish interjection." The verb sense ("We really wowed 'em") was first recorded in 1924, a mere four centuries later. The noun sense ("His last show was a real wow") stems likewise from the 1920s. The Dictionary of American Slang notes, "This old interjection had a new popularity in the early 1900s and again during the 1960s and later."
Speaking of Scotland (warning – the connection I'm about to make is a very loose-knit one): I recall once upon a time seeing my father in an argyle sweater vest I didn't recognize. It was shortly after the 1974 Robert Redford/Mia Farrow film "The Great Gatsby" had come out, with some notable effect on that season's fashions. And so when I saw the sweater, it crossed my mind, however briefly, that I was perhaps seeing Mr. Redford's influence on the attire of my very own, not exactly fashion-forward father. And so I had to ask: "Hmm, Dad, when did you get that sweater?"
"Oh, probably about 1935."
It turned out that after some weight loss, he'd found himself able to get back into threads he'd acquired as a very young man – items that he'd frugally kept in storage over many of the intervening years.

Bayern bring in keeper Butt
04 Jun 2008 - 16:53:48
Veteran goalkeeper Hans-Jorg Butt has completed his free transfer from Benfica to Bayern Munich.
The 34-year-old former Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen shot-stopper moved to Lisbon last summer but spent most of the 2007-08 season on the substitute's bench as Quim maintained his position as Benfica's first-choice keeper.
Butt has signed a two-year deal with the Bundesliga champions after having his Benfica contract terminated by mutual consent.
"We want Hans-Jorg Butt to support the development of our young goalkeeper Michael Rensing, and he's looking forward to this task at Bayern Munich," said Bayern's chairman, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.

Been dismisses Bellamy speculation
Feyenoord boss Mario Been has dismissed speculation linking the struggling Eredivisie club with a move for Craig Bellamy.Wales international Bellamy, currently on loan at Cardiff from Manchester City, is reported to have a soft spot for the Rotterdammers and even suggested to a club fanzine that he would relish a move to De Kuip in the summer. But Been remains unconvinced they can lure the former Liverpool man to Holland.He told Voetbal International: "The likelihood of us signing Bellamy is very small."With his experience and track record, he would be very useful to us. But he is currently on loan at Cardiff and apparently has two years left on his Manchester City contract."City would not let him go for nothing. If they do and Bellamy wants to come to play for us then we have a story. But to my knowledge it is not an issue."Bellamy is unlikely to come to Feyenoord."

Natural Leather
A Mulberry favourite, Natural Leather is tanned using a natural vegetable tanning technique. The soft leather retains the individual grain pattern of the skin, and is left untreated. This beautiful skin ages wonderfully, taking on unique pattern with age and use. Many of our Natural Leather products are left unlined, to show the characteristics of this leather inside and out.
Caring for this product
Collonil Leather Gel is a solvent-free gentle gel to improve the water resistance of certain leathers. It can help leather to resist dirt and moisture.
