Unions and socialists forget that Sarkozy was elected by the French people in 2007 and reforming the pension system was on his agenda, so no surprise. Socialist and unions have NO LEGITIMACY to request for the upcoming reform to be dropped. Socialists lost in 2007 while unions are only made of civil servants who already work little and retire early!! what the ... ??
Go Nico, go !
"I know very well my arguments are valid and reasonable"
but your vocabulary is very poor to express them to a low IQ audience
it's like we were having our new "maoists", but teinted with green, nowadays it's fashionable.
Where are Bonaparte and his artillery when France needs them ?
The French are protesting again? Surprise, surprise.
Let's see--how do we fight financially austere measures taken by the government? By crippling our economy!
Definitely counter-productive. Great job French, great job.
If you think you can suppress IDEAS, like average IQ explaining many of the problems of the world, then you are wrong. Just because you can censor free speech, and call people schoolyard bully names like 'racist' (whatever that has to do with IQ), doesn't mean you can stop people from thinking. And it doesn't keep people from seeing that you are wrong, and trying to repress any ideas but your own dogma.
Come on. Low average intelligence is a very good, rational explanation for the differences we see between the development of nations. Ignore or dismiss a good, reasonable explanation at your own peril and folly. Maybe that's one reason you all end up with bad, irrational explanations that don't work.
Average IQ, that's Chinese trolls' obsession, isn't it.
We are witnessing the end of the Progressive International Empire (PIE). The PIE has disappeared down millions of entitled throats. There is no more PIE to slice. The progressives made one small error – they ate the PIE without paying the PIEman and now they're broke. Sadly, that PIEman is one big ugly SOB and he's coming to get his money.
It's a sad commentary that the welfare State France has become has transferred itself into a country with zero responsibility where workers get unlimited benefits including never ending unemployment compensation and where the spoiled workers complain about having to wait until they are sixty two years old to retire.
It used to be that France was synonymous with great wines and great cinema but that was a very, very long time ago and today when a person speaks about great music, art, design, movies, and consumer electronics France is never mentioned.
Despite the claim of the unions it is not the fault of the rich for France's problems. Like so many countries in Europe and in our country as well now, the public thought they could have it all and not have to pay for it. Yes, the rich SHOULD pay more in taxes, but that will not solve the problems we face nor will it help the many States in our country where pension benefits for State workers are unfunded in the hundreds of billions of dollars due to overly generous contracts that were signed.
In my home State of New Jersey, that has $45 Billion in unfunded pensions, the teachers union refused to accept a three year freeze in increases in their pensions, despite the fact they know very well the State is almost bankrupt. When the governor offered the union the choice of thousands of layoffs or a temporary freeze in increases the union told the governor to take a hike. If we want to behave more like the French we will also soon learn that we cannot have our cake and eat it too. Someone has to pay for the welfare State and there is no free lunch, and if we want to tax every single American 50%+ of their income (not even including State income tax!) then we can live the life of Riley, but even then, only for a very short while.
I applaud Mr Sarkozy for being a true leader with the guts to do what is good for his country, not for what is just popular and sweet sounding.
"No tax cuts! More jobs! Universal health care! Increase minimum wage! Government aid!" Holy cow, NOBODY seems to understand that you can't get more than you give.
Hmm, the smell of freedom--of burning cars, burning tires, rotting trashes and the blood of the injured. This riot, sorry, this "peaceful" protest, is an epitome for a functioning democracy if not a functioning society, and a perfect demonstration why one human's rights can trump the rights of the others.
Our societys are changing. If the retirement age for a an electrician (with a diploma) is lower than it would be for say an engineer(with a degree) Less people will become Engineers which is what the economy needs. More to the point an engineers job is hard too, some time the work has to be taken home.
I seen this here in Ireland too. An apprentice electrician gets paid to go to college, can do small jobs as well (they're cashies, so the money goes straight into the paw), and has their travel and lunch subsidised by the state, someone studying a degree doesn't. When they're qualified they go straight onto a better wage than someone with a degree. The result is less people with degrees, which is what we need.
For socialist see clique. This isn't about blue collar rights, its about protecting the clique. Its a shame none of them young people can see this is what they're fighting to protect
"379 lycées were disrupted or closed on October 19th by protesting school pupils, who in France have their own unions"
Well, so who is surprised that a bunch of teenagers will profit from unrest to canalize their energies? Students on strike always strike me as ridiculous, and the more so if they are not even at a university level yet. They are supposed to be educated, not to educate others. And they have their own unions? Oh, come on. To defend their right to play video-games and eat junk food (when not protesting against pension reforms, of course)?
In an environment where such a thing is possible, it is no surprise that reckless violence will eventually emerge. A few poor and discontent students suffice. Just for the fun of it, I guess.
France is such a curious place. On the one hand, they have a lot of order in their culture, even in their gardens. But on the other hand, it all easily becomes anarchic. I wonder if I would be correct in associating the former with the right-wing and the latter with the left-wing...
The French and their pathetic protests over something that is a given in any other developed country is embarrassing.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the pension age of 65 chosen because it was very close to the life expectancy of the average war veteran? Life expectancy has moved miles ahead since then: it's unreasonable to retire at 60 when you're going to die 15-20 years later.
are you aware that we are still ranking at the top 10 for GDP (it used to be 5, today it's 6 or 7)?
@ Romain
I've employed half a dozen young French students so far and found them to be really great to work with. People of your generation are far easier to get along with than your elders who have an antiquated view of the role of France in the world. If you run out of a job in Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, (not to mention Canada and Australia) have lots to offer. Even the recently arrived Czech Republic just attracted a friend of mine who graduated from Western Europe. The future's looking great outside of France although it's a good place for retirement and owning a holiday home, but as a young professional, you don't want to work in a leisure centre.
I can assure you that I find this form of political activity as vile as that of the Republican filibuster, which is to say mindless, partisan, and needlessly destructive.
But what I wish the debate would include is some discussion of what Sarkozy (or the Americans) could do better. Look immediately north across the channel, and you see a government with a more or less pragmatic, clear eyed, and professional approach to comprehensive fiscal reform. You see broad cuts, and no riots.
Of course the French must raise the retirement age. But they must also cut defense spending, tax evasion, agricultural subsidies, and perhaps even cultural expenditures. Sarkozy's error, perhaps, is not that he asked labor to sacrifice, but that he did not ask everyone else to sacrifice at the same time.
The French blue-collars have guts, they fight for their rights and I can understand their malaise. Billions of public money have been spent to save banks during the financial crisis and now governements in Europe (including now Britain) have decided that the huge bill must be paid by reducing social programs devoted to the poor and the middle class. This is unfair. Furthermore it is not true that the French do not understand that the minimum retirement age must be changed, what they are fighting for is a retirement "a la carte", those who had hard jobs should be able to retire earlier because their life longetivity is shorter than the white-collar's. You can work until 75 if you are a journalist or a university teacher but is it fair to ask a roofer or a fisherman to work until 67 ? Is it hard to undertand that our societies needs more fairness and compassion because we live in a crazy world where the human being have been placed behind the interests of the financial system ? Demonstrating in the streets is a question of what kind of society we all want live in the future. I lived in the US (and loved it) but I felt sorry for all those american blue-collars who have only 2 weeks holidays per year and must work until 70 or even older to get a fair income. So no the streets have no shame because the people have the rights to say stop when a government is going to far.

Nice and refreshing. Smooth mint taste but not much tea taste comes through. However, it isn't as strong as straight up mint which I appreciate.
Very refreshing and smooth.
Although a little pricey, it goes a long way. I always have this tea on hand, and often make it for guests. This was my "gateway tea" – there was no turning back to supermarket teas after this one.

Some states require labels disclosing use of genetically modified ingredients, but Minnesota's big foodmakers oppose such initiatives.
Many U.S. foods come from crops with DNA that was modified to resist disease, drought and insects. A few states require disclosure.
Photo: Damian Dovarganes • Associated Press,
WASHINGTON – The federal government and a number of states are on a collision course over labels for genetically engineered food.
A bill introduced in the U.S. House 10 days ago would ban states from passing food labeling laws. One that the Vermont Senate passed last week would require labels for foods containing genetically engineered ingredients, as two other states have already done.
As a long-simmering battle escalates over if and how food companies should tell customers about genetically modified organisms, state-by-state efforts to force more detailed labeling are running into a food industry campaign for national standards that limit what gets disclosed and how it is displayed on packages.
At the center of this fight stand many of Minnesota's biggest foodmakers and distributors — Cargill, Hormel, General Mills, Land O'Lakes and Faribault Foods — and their major trade group, the Grocery Manufacturers Association. Collectively, the food industry spent $69 million to defeat statewide food labeling initiatives in California in 2012 and in Washington in 2013.
"When the government mandates labeling, it is trying to convey information about health, safety and nutrition," said Louis Finkel, the grocery trade group vice president of government affairs. "Mandatory labeling for GMOs [genetically modified organisms] is not justified and would be misleading."
Each month, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Americans buy $56 billion to $68 billion worth of food to eat at home. That makes the stakes in the labeling war enormous for companies and consumers.
Forcing companies to prominently display information that some customers may see as negative "runs against brand management," said Scott Faber, who worked several years as head lobbyist of the Grocery Manufacturers Association, but now leads pro-labeling forces as a vice president of the Environmental Working Group.
If it is passed by both chambers of Congress, the House bill introduced April 10 by Reps. Mike Pompeo, R-Kan., and G.K. Butterfield, D-N.C., will invalidate the new Vermont law, as well as labeling statutes already on the books in Maine and Connecticut and any future state legislation. In Minnesota, a labeling bill will be the subject of a legislative hearing next week.
In the meantime, the grocery association is considering suing Vermont for an unconstitutional infringement of food companies' free speech.
At the Organic Consumers Association, based in Finland, Minn., director Ronnie Cummins accused labeling opponents of "squelching states' rights for food safety." Cummins' group recently paid for ads supporting the Vermont law, which was passed by the state's Senate 28-2 on April 16. The Vermont House passed a slightly different bill earlier, but legislators are expected to work out their differences.
Spokesman Mark Klein summed up the position of Minnetonka-based Cargill Inc., one of the world's largest distributors of crops and meat, with a strong endorsement of the federal legislation and praise for genetic engineering.
Foods with GMOs "are materially the same" as foods without them, he maintained. Genetic engineering "is not the only tool, but it is a powerful tool that can meet the growing demand for food."
General Mills Inc., which spent more than $2 million helping to defeat the California and Washington labeling initiatives, backs the new U.S. House bill and called for a national labeling standard. Hormel endorsed the House bill and national standards, too. Land O'Lakes and Faribault Foods did not respond to requests for comment, but both companies have contributed to past food industry campaigns to defeat state labeling initiatives.
"A patchwork of labels that would differ from state to state based on differing state-based standards would be confusing and costly for companies and consumers alike," General Mills Vice President Tom Forsythe said. "The national organic standard is an excellent model, in our view. Organic certification and labeling standards were established at the national level — not state by state — and certified organic means the same thing everywhere you shop."
For consumer advocates like Cummins and Faber, the issue comes down to who controls the information. They say the national standards the industry envisions limit consumers' ability to make buying decisions because the standards ignore customers' preferences. It is an argument that extends beyond genetic engineering to food labeling in general.
For instance, the meat industry and the U.S. government are now in court over new federal rules that require meat packages to list where livestock was born, raised and slaughtered — so-called country-of-origin labeling.
The struggle over food labeling, Faber said, "is a referendum on the right of people to make choices for their families."
In the case of genetically engineered foods, a coalition of consumer groups called Just Label It has gathered 1.4 million signatures asking for mandatory labeling rules similar to those that took effect in Europe more than a decade ago. Pesticides used on crops, animal cruelty and child labor in production are among the concerns that advocates cite.

Do your kids have structured classes? Do they have a broad range of ages across one class? What makes it different from mainstream schooling?
Posted 12 December 2012 - 03:46 PM
Were you wondering about a specific school age? My DS attended as a 3 year old. He has anxiety and obsessive behaviour issues and we found it absolutely wonderful. Such a beautiful, calm environment.
Posted 12 December 2012 - 03:56 PM
DS is almost 8, going into year 3 next year. He's been going to a Montessori school for 3 years. NOTHING about how they work seems Montessori. He has Autism and needs stability. He has none here. They have moved him about, next year is the only time he has the same teacher as the previous year. They have structured classes, they don't do the no punishment thing. DS has lost his SSO now, which will cause massive repercussions for me.
Posted 12 December 2012 - 04:22 PM
Do your kids have structured classes?
Yes, but not in the sense of mainstream schooling. There is a set time for Library, martial arts, music and OCEANS, but other than that it is task based. Each child has an Independent Learning Plan, and has a certain number of tasks ( we call them jobs) that must be completed in the week in the learning areas. They use stamp charts and books to keep track. If you child is very structured, they may like to do maths first up, reading/spelling/comp/lit next, science and culture after that each day . If your child is more like my DD who likes to do her weeks worth of Math on Monday because she finds it fun, that's okay too - as long as the assigned tasks are completed, the actual timetable is up to the child.
DDs class has 14 children, a full time teacher and EA. Everyday each child gets a 1/2 hour one on one session in a specific learning area, so if they need extension or support it's provided. Our school also has a specialist teacher for specific needs who can provide an additional 1 or 2 sessions a week with a child who needs further support or focus in a particular learning area.
My DS tends to do a little bit of each learning area every day, always starts with his puzzles and numbers ( he is 3) so he looks to be developing a more structured style of learning than DD.
Do they have a broad range of ages across one class?
Yes. Cycle one is children aged 3 to 6, Cycle two has children aged 6 to 9, Cycle three is 9 to 12, Cycle four is 12 to 15 and Cycle 5 is 15 to 18 at our school. The cross-over in ages at the cusps of the cycles are because some children go up earlier than others depending on their progress and abilities. My DD is transitioning into Cycle two in first term and is really looking forward to it. She has taken more of a leadership role in her class this year as one of the older children, helping the younger and new students with new and challenging jobs - a clear sign she's ready to progress.
What makes it different from mainstream schooling?
In my experience, the individual approach to each child, and the expectation that parents are actively involved in both the classroom and the child's education. You are asked to observe your child in the classroom, we have three way meetings with child-parent-teacher, lots of feedback. They don't take the child to the set curriculum, it's the other way around. The curriculum is wide, and much more depth is given to areas that I don't see reflected in their peers from my Mothers' Group. For instance, DD likes to draw so has been taught about impressionism and abstract art. The piece she did yesterday is her intepretation of "Still Life With Aubergines" after Matisse - she is 6 - so her teacher has really thought about ways of capturing her interest in a subject.
I also love the fact that Montessori doesn't consider myDD's physical issue a 'disability' - she's an accepted member of the community as she is, they accommodate her size without pandering to it IYKWIM. The local school wanted her classed as having a problem so that she could qualify for an aide - personally, I don't see why being extremely small but having no mobility issues needs an aide.
I am obviously really happy with it, but this is turning into an essay - hope it makes sense.

*Ker* - is your school in the 'style' of Montessori or is it a member of Montessori Australia ? Sounds totally different to ours. DD has had the same teacher for her Cycle one time bar the first 6 months when the old teacher left to move east with her husband and her current teacher came on board.

It's a member of Montessori Australia. All teachers taking the Montessori classes are Montessori trained.
All of the experiences spoken about here are NOT what we are experiencing at our school. Ours have set times for Japanese, sport, drama, library which is normal. However, their time table for the day is very structured in terms of X time is Maths, y time is reading and z time is art. There is no stability in the teaching staff. DD's teacher has been there for one year - she's not coming back. DS had a wonderful teacher for prep, she left. His year 1 teacher was dismal. This years teacher is ok. I don't love her, but DS likes her. He's having her for next year, but that is mainly because she is the only suitable teacher who can take the special needs kids.
I personally think that they've done the training, bought the tools and then just like to slug parents the extra $200 if your kids are in the Montessori class. We have both Montessori and Mainstream at our school.
I'm annoyed. When Cooper was diagnosed, I spent ages searching for suitable schooling. I found Montessori, researched it and decided that was what he needed. The school talked themselves up a LOT and made themselves out to be something they're not.
Posted 12 December 2012 - 07:50 PM
Do your kids have structured classes?
They have set times for music, sport and Italian. The rest of the time is pretty much child-led. The kids choose their own tasks from the materials set out by the directoress. Often a child will have left out an unfinished task from the day prior and complete that.
If the directoress observes the child has not covered part of the curriculum, they will subtely encourage the child to the area in question.
Do they have a broad range of ages across one class?
As with other posters, 3 year age bands are the norm. To me, each child experiences the accelereated learning you can only get from observing and working with slightly older children and the older kids get the chance to learn leadership skills and passing on their knowledge.
What makes it different from mainstream schooling?
So many areas of difference! The highly individualised learning program, children learning to think for themselves from their earliest memory, almost an entire absence of bullying across the entire primary years, no homework, no uniforms (at our school anyway). Also the pedagogy is aligned to the ways that young minds develop and learn (importance of using one's hands to more completely understand a concept, children working together from the age of 6 when they are becoming more social ...)
(PS Sorry to hear about the problems at your school Ker. Can you arrange a meeting with the principal to discuss it?)

Ker - Perhaps you could change the title to be "anyone with an ASD child at Montessori?".
I do think this is a big factor in your issues.
DS has ASD and we toured Montessori thinking it would allow his quirky ways, but for us we believed it was very child led and he is not self driven/motivated. The other problem for us was that there were up to 60 kids in the class.
Generally ASD kids prefer structure and knowing clearly what the day holds. Is this your DS? Is this one of the issues he is having?
I don't mean to barge in, but ASD kids do work very differently and need specific accommodations.

I've never heard of a school trying to run a Montessori programme in parrallel with a mainstream school - if the two stream have to interact, I would guess that is why you are seeing such un-montessori ridgity coming in. I can't imagine that it would be easy to meld the two, and it does kind of explain to me why you have had a different teacher in each year rather than one teacher in a multi-age group.

Our Montessori School has 3 hours in the morning of pure classroom time (Montessori) for all cycles, then afternoon is when the children do Art, Music Sport, LOTE. For Cycle 1 these are all done in their classroom (well apart from sport). Once they are in Cycles 2 they move about the school and go to the Art room, Music room etc. By Cycle 3 these extend to community, so they're in school band, do interschool athletics etc.
Have you looked at other Montessori schools in your area ?

Healthcare's wasted billions
Why we lose $700 billion – and how to get it back.
Charlottesville, Va.
Seven hundred billion – sound familiar? Yes, that's the cost of the financial-services industry bailout, but it's also about the amount of money America is wasting every year on unnecessary healthcare expenses.
If we could take the steps needed to save that $700 billion, we could take "just" $100 billion to cover the uninsured and have $600 billion left over for Wall Street.
Here's the math: Our current healthcare spending is approximately $2.1 trillion (that's up from $1.3 trillion noninflation adjusted in 2000). We waste an estimated one-third – or about $700 billion – on unnecessary procedures, unnecessary visits to the doctor, overpriced pharmaceuticals, bloated insurance companies, and the most inefficient paper billing systems imaginable.
Saving that wasted money can begin with you and me. Medical experts say that 40 percent of our life expectancy can be attributed to lifestyle. We spend about $100 billion per year on costs related to obesity alone.
We must examine our role in healthcare. How often do patients visit the physician unnecessarily when a call to the nurse would have been fine? Or rush to get medication for every little cough? We spend 10 percent of all our medical care dollars in the last year of life – about $210 billion – much of which is fueled by demands from patients and families. To best understand how to deal with illness, patients need to make sure the lines of communication are open with their healthcare provider.

My love life has been unsuccessful: Sonam Kapoor
Uma Ramasubramanian
[ Mon, Jun 17, 2013 ]
Mumbai, June 17 (IANS) She is young, vivacious and has played the love struck romantic in reel life, but Sonam Kapoor confesses that she has not been lucky when it came to love in real life.
Born with a silver spoon, the daughter of actor Anil Kapoor and former model Sunita was said to be dating "I Hate Luv Storys" director Punit Malhotra and was also romantically linked to her "Mausam" co-star Shahid Kapoor.
But in a candid confession, she said: "My love life has been quite unsuccessful. I am single, but I think human beings have the capacity to love."
The 27-year-old feels love is not a restricted feeling.
"I don't think you can fall in love only once. You can fall in love over and over again. We have the capacity and we have the heart to do that," Sonam told IANS.
Her real life romance has not been inspiring, but on the screen she has been part of several love stories, including her debut film "Saawariya" as well as mushy dramas like "I Hate Luv Storys" and "Aisha".
Her forthcoming film "Raanjhanaa" also belongs to the same genre. In the film, she will be seen romancing southern star Dhanush, who is debuting in Bollywood with the Anand L. Rai-directed movie coming out Friday.
When asked about her chemistry with Dhanush in "Raanjhanaa", Sonam said: "Chemistry is not between two people, it's between two characters. Chemistry gets created by moments. For example, Shahid and Kareena had done many films together, but people never spoke about their chemistry. But when they did 'Jab We Met' because of the scenes and their roles, people liked it."
She insists that chemistry can be created through "acting, scenes and the way the director projects it. Chemistry is a very overdone, overspoken thing".
"Raanjhanaa" was shot in Varanasi and the actress admits being nervous while giving her first shot in the holy city.
"It wasn't difficult, I was nervous doing it. When I was in Varanasi, about 200 people were there when I gave my first shot," she said.
She was in a "school uniform" for the shot and was surrounded by men. They accepted us very well, but I was nervous while shooting".
Dhanush is not familiar with Hindi and he struggled with the dialogues, but Sonam feels that when it comes to emotions, language has never been a barrier.
"He is very quiet and modest... he worked hard on the language. When it comes to emotions, you don't need a language to express it. He expressed himself beautifully. He is such a creative person," she said.
Although most of her films bombed at the box office, the actress doesn't regret anything.
"I don't regret anything because when I was doing films like 'Thank You' and 'Mausam', I decided to do the films that satisfied me. I don't look at films with their box-office success. I want that 20 years down the line, people should remember my films," she explained.

Hannity's guest, Penny Lee, said that Beck "almost referred" to the president of the United States "as racist".
Hannity defended him saying, "But wait a minute. Wait, hang on a second. When the president hangs out with Jeremiah Wright for 20 years, I'm -- can one conclude that there are issues with the president, black liberation theology?"

Day of the Dead
Día De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is one of Mexico's traditional holidays reuniting and honoring beloved ancestors, family and friends. It is a day for honoring our beloved ones.
The altar, also called an "Ofrenda," is the focal point to observing the Día De Los Muertos (Day of the Dead). It is constructed in the home and/or at the gravesite or business establishment. Entire families construct altars as an annual commitment. Beginning in mid-October, children and adults prepare to welcome the souls of their dead relatives and loved ones, who return home at this time each year to make sure all is well and that they have not been forgotten.
Traditionally, it is a time when family members share memorable stories that would commemorate their lives together. A special altar is made and adorned with pictures of deceased to remind the younger generation of their family roots. The altar also includes a feast gather at cemeteries to clean and decorate the gravesite with flowers and candles. They picnic with their loved ones offering food and drink to strengthen spirits enough to return to their other world. The skeleton represent the spirit still living after it has left its flesh on this earth.
The historical roots of this celebration date back to the pre-Hispanic cultures of Meso-America of the indigenous people, especially the Nahua (Aztecs, Mayans, Toltecas, Tlaxcaltec, Chichimec, Tecpanec) and others native to Mexico more than 3,000 years.

Pill once rejected by FDA up again for review, while another combo with similar effect fills in
Najarian, 64, who sold his clinic in 2010, said Vivus would not allow him to talk about his experience treating patients with phentermine and topiramate. While doctors can prescribe drugs off-label, drug companies cannot promote such use. Najarian has been a part-time employee of Vivus since 2006.
Timothy Morris, the chief financial officer of Vivus, said Najarian's practice did not constitute off-label promotion because Qnexa was "a separate product," often with different doses, from the two components.
The weight-loss clinic, called Najarian Center, "certainly treated thousands of patients," said Carol Rowsemitt, a nurse practitioner who worked at the clinic. Besides the drugs, the regimen involved modest exercise, a low-calorie diet and nutritional supplements, some sold by the clinic.
Rowsemitt said patients had been informed that the drugs were being used off-label and that Najarian had a financial stake in the combination.
She said side effects were carefully monitored, and she knew of no birth defects. She said, however, that some other doctors in the region had also started using the phentermine-topiramate combination "without being educated on how to use it."
Phentermine, a stimulant, is approved for short-term use for weight loss. Part of the once popular fen-phen diet pill combination, it remained on the market after two other drugs were withdrawn in 1997 for damaging heart valves.
Topiramate, or Topamax, is approved for epilepsy and migraines, although half of the obesity specialists in one academic survey said they had prescribed it for weight loss. Critics say that using drugs for weight loss does little to change the underlying behavior leading to obesity.
"Everyone wants a quick fix," said Dr. Sidney M. Wolfe, director of health research at Public Citizen. "But it's also dangerous."
Melane Lange of Los Osos once thought that way as well. When she worked for Weight Watchers, she recommended diet and exercise and used those methods herself.
But it was hard work. So last October, she had her doctor prescribe the two drugs and lost more than 10 pounds in time for a vacation.
"Taking a pill in the morning, taking a pill at night, that's not a lot of work," Lang said. "I was losing patience this time. I didn't want it to take six months."
Dr. Philip A. Borgardt, who bought Najarian's practice and moved it to nearby San Luis Obispo, said weight loss was not simply a matter of willpower.
"If it was that easy, they wouldn't have come to see us," he said. "The biggest barrier we have to treating obesity is we blame the patient."
The practice says on its website that it provides "healthy and rapid weight loss!" Until about two weeks ago, the site said that the treatment resulted in "greater than 10 percent weight loss in clinical trials," an apparent reference to the Qnexa results. But Vivus was concerned the information would look like off-label promotion, so the clinic posted its internal data instead, Borgardt said. The practice is also changing its name from the Najarian Center to TNC Weight Loss to distance itself from Vivus, he said.

Overall Experience
Great service and location
March 19, 2015
The staff was excellent. from the front desk to the security people to the housekeeping staff, everyone was always pleasant and helpful.
Great service combined with being in walking distance of River Street and City Market made our St Patricks weekend trip awesome.
Great Stay In Savannah
March 17, 2015
Second time to the city and absolutely loved the Staybridge Suites, the location is perfect for fully enjoying the city and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the breakfast every morning and it was nice that it changed every day. The place has great charm and the rooms were very clean and comfortable.

I was greeted by eye contact with a smile and a cheerful hello whenever I entered the hotel. I was also asked if I was having a pleasant stay. We were also reminded of the social hour and given directions to where I could access free parking very near the hotel.
Great All Around Experience
March 11, 2015
We had a hard time finding a room for overnight in Savannah, especially since we have two German Sheperd dogs. The Staybridge had a wonderful large room and were welcoming!

As the mom of a preschooler and a baby, I've read lots of advice books and blog posts on how to get your child to do - and not do - certain things. Sleep, use the potty, pay attention, learn the alphabet - if someone has written advice on it, I've probably read it. The problem is that, not only have my children NOT read those same books to see what their response is supposed to be to my awesome parenting techniques, I'm pretty sure that they're secretly reading advice books that tell them to do the exact opposite of what my advice books are trying to get them to do. A thorough search of the house has still failed to turn up any of these books, but we're also missing one of every single pair of socks my son has ever owned from birth through age three, so there's almost definitely a secret hiding spot somewhere that I haven't discovered yet.
1. Mommy and Daddy Sneak Away at Night, and Other Bedtime Truths
From the author of self-help book "Sleep is for Suckers" comes this behind-the scenes guidebook explaining what happens when you sleep and why you should avoid it as much as possible. Are you full, dry, warm and generally comfortable enough to sleep? You won't be after you explore eye-opening secrets such as "Everybody Does Fun Things Without You at Night" and "Someone Else is Drinking Your Milk When You're Not Watching." It's time to wake up to the truth... literally. Better wake everyone else up, too, while you're at it.
2. The Baby's Guide to Marking Your Territory
This quick read explores the basics of spitting up, diaper blow-outs, drooling and peeing while being changed as methods of letting everyone know what things - and people - belong to you. The newest edition of this book comes with a sneak peak of the next book in the series, "The Toddler's Guide to Marking Your Territory," including a preview of the first chapter - "Permanent Markers and You."
3. The Art of the Tantrum
Perfect the basics of the tantrum, then learn to build on them with advanced techniques such as the "Foot Stomp," the "High-Pitched Shriek," and the "Get Everyone in the Store to Look at You."
4. Eat This, Not That: Baby and Toddler Edition
Green beans? Bad. Pennies and pieces of fuzz? Good! Learn which foods you should reject without even tasting them and which food-like items will guarantee you a fun trip to the hospital where they'll give you stickers!
5. How to Watch as Much TV as You Want
Written by several experts in the field of parental control, this ground-breaking new book teaches you how to wear down even the toughest of parents to the point that they will let you watch cartoons all day just to get a break. Using the scientifically proven five-step process - sleep deprivation, incessant whining, excessive mess-making, interrupting all adult conversations, and asking difficult questions - you can be well on your way to watching 8+ hours of television a day!
6. Too Cute for "No!"
In this motivational and affirming self-help book, you'll learn to harness all of your cuteness potential to get whatever you want! Through the power of positive thinking, your parents' unconditional love for you, and that adorable little lip quiver you do when you don't get your way, discover how you too can be "Too cute for 'No!'" (Foreword written by that kid in the commercial whose mom just laughs when he makes a gigantic mess.)

So what do you do all day??
Sometime last year, Dan, Lucas and I were at a restaurant where you stand in a buffet-type line, load up your bowl with proteins and veggies, and then they are cooked in front of you and served over rice. The line was kind of long, so Dan and I thought it would be best if we went up one at a time so Lucas didn't have to wait in line for a long time (which, for the record, was a terrible idea, because Lucas and I were pretty much done eating before Dan even sat down with his food. Anyway...) I was waiting in line with my bowl and Lucas's, and I was in front of a twenty-something-year-old couple that sounded like they were on their first date. They were doing the whole awkward get-to-know-you conversation, and I was eavesdropping because A- the girl was about six inches away from me, and B- I don't get to listen to adult conversation all that often. It was pretty much standard first date conversation, and then the female started talking about someone she knew (her sister, I think.) And she said, "She's a stay-at-home mom. Her husband works, and she gets to stay home all day and do whatever she wants."
I couldn't help it. I laughed. Really, really loudly. Because, while I'm really thankful that I'm able to stay home with my kids, I have never, ever, EVER wanted to clean up vomit. But I do it. Sometimes several days in a row. Sometimes several times a day. (My son has a majorly sensitive gag reflex.)
Then a few weeks ago, a friend was telling me about how a neighbor who is in college was talking to her about being a stay-at-home mom, and she asked, "So what do you do all day??"
So apparently, there's still some mystery surrounding what stay-at-home moms do all day. And really, I should probably just let the mystery remain, because, well - most of us pee with the bathroom door open; this is the only mystery we've got left.
But an idea came to me in the shower (which is where all my ideas come, pretty much, because it's the only place I can hear myself think) that maybe we stay-at-home moms could maybe pull back the curtain and let the world in on the glamorous, fun, exciting world of what we do all day. So I started a new Instagram account called "What does Mom do all day?" And this is where you come in. If you're a stay-at-home mom, you're invited to take over the account for a day! I'll email you a temporary password, and for one day you can post between 2 and 10ish funny, interesting, or teeth-grindingly awful (because, you know, be realistic) glimpses into your life. I'll also periodically post photo "challenges" (like "show me your kid's biggest mess") for moms to post on their own Instagram account, and I'll repost some of my favorites. You can also submit one-time "stay-at-home mom slice-of-life" photos to be posted on the account by emailing them to bejaneum (at) gmail (dot) com.
(Just for the record, this is not a "stay-at-home moms are better or more busy or more hard working than work-outside-of-the-home mom" thing. Working moms are amazing! I just think that if you work outside of the home, people maybe ask the question "what do you do all day" less frequently, because, you know, people assume they know what you do when you tell them what your job is. Unless your job is confusing. Like transpondster*.)
Here are the guidelines:
1. You must have an Instagram account, public blog, or public Facebook page (and be able to verify that it is, in fact, your account) or you must know me in real life. (I just need to make sure that you're not going to take over the account only to post 100 pictures that say "Buy discount designer sunglasses!")
2. You should be a stay-at-home mom. (I'm not going to come to your house and check or anything, though.) And if you work part-time or work at night but stay home with your kids all day or freelance from home or something, that's totally fine. Just, you know, if you're a full-time TV news anchor or a member of Congress, you might not fit in the population we're looking for here.
3. Please don't use the account to try to sell anything! If selling something is part of what you do in the course of a normal day, you're welcome to include a relevant picture, but please don't post anything with the sole purpose of selling something, getting people to sign up for an email list, etc.
4. Try to make it funny, interesting, unique, etc. But you're not being graded on this.
5. Feel free to tag (and invite people to follow) your own Instagram account at the end of some (or all) of your posts! If you're looking to grow your Instagram following, hopefully this will help!
6. If the response gets overwhelmingly crazy, I might switch this to an email submission only thing.
Interested? Email me at bejaneum (at) gmail (dot) com and I can send you more details.
So... what do you do all day??
*Please tell me someone recognized that Friends reference.

Sign #4,432 That I'm Definitely a Mom
This past week, we went to an indoor water park for a few days. On one side of the building, there was a hot tub that was half indoors and half outdoors. While my mom watched the kids, Dan and I went outdoors to sit together in the hot tub. A light snow was falling, and the steam was rising slowly from the hot water. Dan and I sat, resting together in the hot water, arms entwined around one another, as snow fell gently on our exposed shoulders and warm steam enveloped us, and I turned to Dan, smiled, and said...
"Wow, this would be so great for a kid with croup."
Um, yeah. I'm so romantic.
(But seriously. So great for croup.)
What else have you said that was totally mom-ish (although maybe slightly mood-killing)?

on the whole system:
F = (m+M)a
on block m, call Fb the force between blocks:
F - Fb = m a
(m+M)a - Fb = m a
Fb = M a
for no slip:
Fb u = m g
Fb = m g/u
M a = m g/u
a = (m/M) (g/u)
so using F = (m+M)a
F = (m+M)(m/M)(g/u)
