Packers run fake FG, lead Bears 13-3 after third
GREEN BAY, Wis. Backup tight end Tom Crabtree scored on a fake field goal and the Green Bay Packers intercepted Jay Cutler twice while building a 13-3 lead against the Chicago Bears through three quarters on Thursday night.
The Bears lost running back Matt Forte to an ankle injury in the middle of the third quarter. He appeared to twist his right ankle while being tackled by Woodson and was not expected to return.
With the Packers facing fourth-and-26 on the Chicago 27-yard line late in the second quarter, holder Tim Masthay and kicker Mason Crosby appeared to line up for a field goal attempt. But Masthay took the snap and flipped the ball to Crabtree, who ran through a huge hole and streaked all the way to the end zone.
Cutler then threw an interception to Tramon Williams near midfield with just over a minute left and the play was upheld on a replay review, giving the Packers one last chance to score. Aaron Rodgers marched the Packers into scoring range, and Mason Crosby hit a 35-yard field goal.
Crosby hit a 48-yarder earlier in the second quarter, as both offenses struggled to score.
Cutler then threw his second interception of the night late in the third, this time to Charles Woodson, and the Packers appeared poised to score when Charles Tillman punched the ball away from Jermichael Finley and recovered the ball for the Bears.
Brandon Marshall missed a huge opportunity earlier in the third, when Cutler found him streaking wide open in the end zone - but the wide receiver couldn't haul it in, and the Bears had to settle for a 45-yard field goal by Robbie Gould that cut the lead to 13-3.
Marshall had not caught a pass through three quarters, with Williams providing tight coverage in the first half.
Clay Matthews led a ferocious Green Bay pass rush that sacked Cutler three times in the first half and kept the Bears' new-look passing offense in check.
The Packers also struggled on offense while featuring running back Cedric Benson - a former Bears first-round pick.
Rodgers was sacked four times in the first half, and Green Bay got a scare when the NFL MVP appeared to hurt his right arm while being sacked during the Packers' second possession.
The ball slipped out of Rodgers' hand awkwardly as he tried to throw a pass on the next play, and backup Graham Harrell started warming up on the sideline, but Rodgers went back in on the next possession.
Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings was inactive after hurting his groin late in Sunday's loss to San Francisco.
Tillman played despite a shin injury, and Brian Urlacher was on the field despite having surgery on his left knee during training camp.
It's the 185th edition of the NFL's oldest rivalry. Coming into Thursday night, Chicago held an overall 92-86-6 edge in the series, including a pair of playoff games. The Packers had won four straight and six of the last seven, including the playoffs.

Yotam Ottolenghi & Sami Tamimi's Basic Hummus
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: This recipe is simple and the results are perfect, but here's the real coup: Most from-scratch hummus recipes involve simmering the chickpeas for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Ottolenghi and Tamimi's are done in 20 to 40 minutes. How? See step 2. Briefly cooking the soaked chickpeas directly with baking soda scruffs up the skins and allows them to cook much faster and puree smoother. (Without having to peel the chickpeas by hand.) Recipe adapted slightly from Jerusalem (Ten Speed Press, 2013) - Genius Recipes
Makes 6 servings
- 1 1/4 cups dried chickpeas
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 6 1/2 cups water
- 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons tahini (light roast)
- 4 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 4 cloves garlic, crushed
- 6 1/2 tablespoons ice cold water
- Salt
- Good quality olive oil, to serve (optional)
- The night before, put the chickpeas in a large bowl and cover them with cold water at least twice their volume. Leave to soak overnight.
- The next day, drain the chickpeas. Place a medium saucepan over high heat and add the drained chickpeas and baking soda. Cook for about three minutes, stirring constantly. Add the water and bring to a boil. Cook, skimming off any foam and any skins that float to the surface. The chickpeas will need to cook for 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the type and freshness, sometimes even longer. Once done, they should be very tender, breaking up easily when pressed between your thumb and finger, almost but not quite mushy.
- Drain the chickpeas. You should have roughly 3 2/3 cups now. Place the chickpeas in a food processor and process until you get a stiff paste. Then, with the machine sill running, add the tahini paste, lemon juice, garlic, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Finally, slowly drizzle in the ice water and allow it to mix for about five minutes, until you get a very smooth and creamy paste.
- Transfer the hummus to a bowl, cover the surface with plastic wrap, and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. If not using straightaway, refrigerate until needed. Make sure to take it out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before serving. Optionally, to serve, top with a layer of good quality olive oil. This hummus will keep in the refrigerator for up to three days.

After spending time in the Middle East, I love a good hummus and this was so much better than any store bought hummus! Delicious and so light, everyone liked it. I made my own tahini and added roasted garlic to soften the bite of raw garlic. Will make again.
about 1 month ago Gourmel
My hummus was so dense it burned out my food processor! I switched to my immersion blender until I was concerned it was overheating. The only thing I did differently is that my chickpeas soaked for a few days, not just one. Could that have caused it to be so heavy?
about 1 month ago Sharon
Oh dear. You are not the first person who has burned out a blender or food processor making hummus! That's why you have to start adding a bit of the cooking liquid from the beans and olive oil to allow the motor to begin blending the stiff bean paste. Restaurants have very heavy duty, professional equipment to do this with, primarily a Robot Coupe, which costs several hundred dollars. Home cooks routinely tax the living daylights out of their consumer model blenders & processors trying to achieve the same results. With consumer equipment, the trick is to add enough liquid and olive oil to facilitate smooth & rapid movement of the blades without watering down and diluting the hummus. A lot of trial and error is required here, and I speak from experience. As a professional chef, I've made hummus on the job, in a professional kitchen, and at home. Home is DEFINITELY more difficult. Each time it's a crap shoot. Just recently, I was foiled by a very stiff garbanzo bean paste and, regrettably, over compensated by adding too much liquid, . Drat! However, you CAN find your "happy spot" and devise a fairly reliable method of your own. It just takes time and tweaking. Fear not, you'll get it right! Good luck and don't give up.
about 1 month ago Sharon
Way too much tahini, better to add it to taste. I never add baking soda to beans. It's just not necessary and it affects the taste. Hummus is something that each person has to tweak to their liking. I love the taste of olive oil in mine and I've often subbed out a small amount of almond or cashew butter for the tahini. Absolutely hauntingly delicious! It takes a while to get it where you want it, so keep experimenting and trying out & comparing recipes. Have fun along the way because luckily, chickpeas are not expensive!
3 months ago Tina Miller
I wish I had paid more attention to the comments first! Dried chickpeas are definitely the way to go and this hummus was certainly smooth - but like some other comments noted it was way too much tahini for me. Next time maybe 1/3 cup (or less) tahini to 1lb chickpeas. But I did appreciate the reminder that home made hummus is SOO much better than store bought!
7 months ago Amy
I just made this...did not have 1.125 cups of tahani, but it was SMOOTH...I even had a tub of store-bought hummus, and it was as smooth. And, best of all, mine's cheaper, made by me, and not processed in a store. Just very good
7 months ago alexia schmidt
I made this recipe exactly as written, (with an 18-hour soak) and it is the lightest, smoothest, airiest, tastiest hummus I have ever had. I am completely obsessed and will now have to purchase bulk dried chickpeas to keep up with the addiction.

I have to second Alton Brown´s recipe - 1/3 cup is more than sufficient! Too much tahini in this recipe! I also learned from a Lebanese woman to soak the (dried) garbanzos for two days - her hummus is made in a blender and super aerated! Try that too!
about 1 month ago beejay45
If she soaked them that long, they would be starting to sprout, which does improve the flavor and, I have heard, makes them more digestible. So, I may give this a try once my current batch is gone.
I have to say, I've been making hummus for so many years that it's all by instinct. You have the tahini for richenss, lemon juice for tang, olive oil/sesame oil for creaminess, water/bean liquid for thinning and, of course, garlic for punch. Rather than follow a recipe, just line all these up and add them as needed to adjust flavor and texture. After a few times, you will have a feel for what will result in the version you and your family prefer.
So, that may seem like an awful lot of tahini, but that's the way Ottolenghi likes it. ;)
8 months ago Danny
First time ever making hummus and used this recipe because it came so highly recommended on these comments. I followed the recipe exactly, and while the texture is gorgeous, all I taste is tahini and baking soda - so much so that I've been guzzling water in the hours since I ate it.
Any suggestions of what might have gone wrong, or is the amount of tahini too much, as other posters have suggested?
8 months ago Julie Droescher
My (well, Alton Brown's) recipe calls for 1 lb of chickpeas, and only 1/3 cup of tahini.
Why so much tahini in this recipe above?
9 months ago Terry Malouf
The classic recipe, in our Lebanese family anyway:
1 can Garbanzo beans (however, I cook my own chick peas, time permitting)
3 T Tahini
lemon juice to taste (lots, at least 1 lg lemon)
salt to taste, 1 t or more
1 bud garlic
some water (from bean pot if you cook your own)
No oil needed! My grandmother would drizzle some on top when she served a dish of hummus. Also, she'd sprinkle on some paprika or finely minced parsley.
About the baking soda discussion, I always presoak the chick peas (and all other beans) with a pinch of baking soda, then rinse, then cook in new water. It degasses the beans for sure.
I was surprised at the Food 52 recipe, in that there was so much tahini. Lots of calories. I loved the creaminess, though. Still, I prefer the classic hummus recipe above, and like it best when it's made with the warm chick peas out of the pot and served while still warm and fragrant.
9 months ago Ann-Marie D. Nguyen-Shavurova
Why no olive oil in the making of it? Just curious? I put in a ton also in addition to the water. What is the classic recipe?
9 months ago L Kaylor
I used to put in my recipe too. But love this way better. Drizzle your fresh fruity oil over the hummus each time
you serve it! A dusting of paprika, garnish o
f slivered red onion, cucumber slices... So good, this is the best recipe.
9 months ago Ann-Marie D. Nguyen-Shavurova
I think it doesn´t have enough moisture without it, and I was reading other comments below and I have to agree that it has too much tahini. I think I even only put in 3/4 cup (maybe where some of the moisture would have been). In any case, love hummus and great to try this recipe!
10 months ago Tbonius
The skins float right off and can be rinsed away through a salad spinner or any strainer with large holes. Comes out amazingly creamy.
10 months ago marymary
I followed this recipe exactly and LOVE it plain or with avocado and spices (https://food52.com/recipes...). The tahini was not overpowering at all, as others have suggested. In the future, I will use the liquid from the chickpeas instead of or in addition to ice water. I removed a lot of the skins, but not all - I don't find it necessary. I prefer the thicker smooth consistency myself. My chickpeas cooked in just under 20 minutes - awesome. I will never use canned again. Thank you for sharing!

woops--forgot to check the new comments box!
over 1 year ago Rose Levy Beranbaum
the great thing about this recipe is that the baking soda makes it really easy to remove the skins. i found i needed a lot more liquid to achieve a good texture to the purée but made a marvelous discovery. while skinning the cooked chick peas i left the liquid in which they cooked in the pot. after cooling i saw that it had thickened like a demi-glace! of course this was from the starch in the chick peas. i used some of this liquid to thin out the purée. it was absolutely delicious. i still have some left over in the fridge and plan to add it to amanda's "dan barber short ribs" this weekend!
over 1 year ago smlorenzetti
If you remove the skins from the chickpeas before you grind them you get a much better creamy texture. It takes a few extra minutes, but it is so worth it.
over 1 year ago julie
Hello, Removing the skin makes the hummus texture almost like whip-cream. what is your trick to remove the skin. It takes me so much more time than a few minutes to remove the skin.
over 1 year ago julie
Hello, I'm Julie from Montreal. My boyfriend is lebanese and I'm on a mission to make the perfect hummus (hoummous)lol . I make huge batches of chick peas the equivalent of 4 cups of dry chick peas at a time which will give you about triple amount so about plus or minus 10-12 cups.
I cook my dry chick peas after they have soaked over night for about 45 minutes. I ad only 1/4 spoon of baking soda. I noticed that adding more makes the chickpeas bland.
I suggest playing with the quantities of tahini and lemon. Also try lime instead of lemon. Also I ad the zest of lemon or lime at the end to give the hummus a little spark. Trial and errors is fun. cheers and happy hummus cooking.
about 1 year ago Stephanie Nejame-Cintron
hi Julie! By removing the skins and adding 1/4 cup of Labne (thick middle eastern yogurt)to the food processor for every cup or so of dried chickpeas you used --you will get the best hummus ever!
over 1 year ago L Kaylor
I have made hummus for years, many different variations. Followed this recipe pretty much to a tee proportionately, the only difference is I used one full bag which is tad more than 1 1/4 cups. Oh my, Genius is the right word! A light roast tahini is not overpowering, this comes out very smooth & for the effort there is a enough for a batch to freeze. It is a perfect classic hummus, doctor to your taste if you like spice, pesto, red peppers etc.
over 1 year ago Jessie Zapffe
I also, just cook the dried beans. You can make same day hummus, it is just a time consuming effort. You need to make sure the water does not boil out.
over 1 year ago julie
Hello Jessie, I got caught on my first tries and now what I do is I heat up some water in a ketle and add when needed, usually at the 30 minutes mark.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A North Dakota lawmaker and former smoker wants to increase the state's cigarette tax from 44 cents a pack to $1 as a deterrent.
ND measure would bump tax for pack of cigarettes
Tax analysts estimate the measure could swell North Dakota's treasury by about $30 million annually, but Rep. Eliot Glassheim told the House Finance and Taxation Committee on Tuesday that's not his aim.
"The purpose of this bill is not to raise money," Glassheim said. "It is to give an extra incentive to help people quit smoking."
Anti-smoking groups testified Tuesday that Glassheim's bill doesn't go far enough and pushed for tax increases of up to $2 for a pack of cigarettes. The groups estimate that about 20 percent of adults in North Dakota smoke cigarettes, and about 800 people die annually in the state from smoking-related diseases.
The Grand Forks Democrat said he quit smoking when the cost of a pack rose by a dime decades ago.
"I'll never forget how angry I was at myself for being controlled by a powerful force," Glassheim said. "It was only when I calculated how much I was spending a year on cigarettes and what I couldn't buy because of smoking that I was able to quit."
State and federal data show North Dakota ranks 46th among states in the amount of tax smokers pay. New York charges the most state excise tax in the nation at $4.35.
North Dakota Chamber of Commerce spokesman Bill Shalhoob said his group is opposed to raising excise taxes of any kind, especially for what he called "social engineering."
"This code is a very poor way to do that," he said.
Jeanne Prom, director of the North Dakota Center for Tobacco Prevention and Control Policy, said the state has not raised its tax on cigarettes since 1993.

|Health costs of sickle cell disease patients from the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey, 1996-1997, 2002-2003, 2007-2008
|Ojo, Victoria Nkem
|University of Missouri--Kansas City
|Chronic conditions affect a person physically, mentally, emotion, socially, and financially. With the increase in technology and advancements in medicine, those with chronic conditions are living longer and spending more money to do so. Using Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) data, sickle cell disease (SCD), a chronic, inherited anemia, was described showing the cost to society and the personal cost to the patients. Regression analysis was used to compare SCD to both cystic fibrosis (CF), a chronic, inherited disease of the mucus glands and, a healthy population. This study will describe the difference in direct and indirect health costs of two comparable chronic diseases receiving differing research money. Results indicate that SCD patients and CF patients are not significantly different regarding health status or indirect health costs, however, SCD patients have less prescriptions and prescription costs than CF patients, which were expected due to the probability of the SCD population containing sickle cell trait patients.

Hello again from the "Land of Logan." A county unique in the commonwealth, with so much history, so many outstanding farms, beautiful countryside, beautiful architecture, great traditions and last but not least good people. It is actually a very diverse and spectacular place to live. You can visit and site see all over the county every weekend of the year and not run out of things to see and do.
Starting with this issue I plan to name 52 sites and events, over the coming weeks, that you and your family can visit right here in your own county and have a mini vacation. Places and events you might have thought about visiting but may not have done so.
The first place I would highly recommend that you visit is the Shaker Museum. Here is a crown jewel of a great place to visit. A major tourist attraction for people coming from states all over America and it is located right in our midst. It is a site that interests the entire family. How many times have you driven to or from Bowling Green and glanced over at the road sign advertising Shaker Museum and thought that you would like to stop by some day and see the place. The Shakers were a unique part of American History. They are no more but their history lives on. Make plans to visit this number one tourist site.
Business Of The Week is Slappyz Family Diner. A great place to take the entire family. The restaurant has been a big success since it opened four years ago. It has been in it's current location for one year and business has grown even more. It is located on the south side of Russellville in the old Logan County Plaza at 1124 West 9th. I ate there last week and had one of the best cheese burgers and fries that I have ever had in Kentucky! Wow! The food was great and the price was right!
It seems to be a family affair when it comes to running the restaurant. Derek Skipworth is the owner. Mom and Pop, Mary and and Sonny Bailey, where there when I had my good meal. Chances are if you eat there other family members will wait on you including Joanna Bailey, Brittany Coles, Ashley Yates and Russell Bailey. A wonderful family.
I took a particular liking to Mary and Sonny Bailey. Mary is a smart business lady and well, when it comes to Sonny it is hard to describe. He is informed, not shy and could be a real character! Stop in and see what you think.
Outstanding & Thoughtful Person - I was at Wal-Mart in Russellville a few days ago and unfortunately had to ride an electric cart due to a previous leg injury. I was attempting to locate a fish net but to no avail. I also could not reach very high due to being in the cart. A very nice young man named Nathan Lacy came along and offered to help. He was very polite and quickly found what I was looking for. Nathan told me he was 14 and in the 8th grade I believe. He attends Russellville Middle School, likes basketball, hanging out and helping people. He has one sister and two brothers. His mom and dad are Kristie Lacy and George Howard. He and his family attend church in Springfield, Tennessee. Three cheers for this good Samaritan.
Having taught for a good many years I am ever aware of good and caring people. People that you can see that their parents did a good job teaching them. I met one such young person working at Southern States across the train tracks from my home. He is Lane Woodward, the son of Jay and Tammy Woodward. He is 17 years old and a senior at LCHS. Lane has been on his school's archery team and likes anything outdoors. He has a sister named Chelsey and a girl friend named Kaithernn Brown. He plans to attend Bowling Green Tech. and major in Fire Science. His goal is to become a fulltime fireman. Three cheers for Lane Woodward a future leader in his community.
Important local and state elections are just a few weeks away. As a former civics, government and history teacher I can not over express the need for people to go to the polls. In many countries around the world people are fighting and dieing so as to bring democracy to their homelands. When they finally gain the right to vote they turn out in mass numbers. Even under threat in countries such as Afghanistan the women who have now gained the vote have been turning out in record numbers. In France you are fined if you do not vote. Thus they have an 85% voter turnout. What has happened to Americans and Logan Countians in particular? We will be very lucky if we have a 40% turn out of voters. Democrat, Republican or Independent you need to vote. For those that do not vote shame on you.
My own mother believed so strongly in the right and responsibility of voting that even as she was dieing of cancer she called each family member to remind them to get to the polls and vote. She also got up out of her hospital bed and went to vote one last time in her wheel chair. Please vote.
Tonight, Friday, is the big fund raiser steak dinner at the Red River Fish & Game Habitat in Adairville. The dinner is sponsored by the Adairville/South Logan County Chamber of Commerce. It starts at 5:30 P.M. The price is only $20 for a great meal and a fun auction. Tickets are available at the door.
Tomorrow, Saturday there will be the big fund raiser dinner for the Fire Fighters in Russellville. Call the offices of Bobby Blackford for more detains.
Time to go. Good night Mrs. Calabash where ever you are.

Vatican gives $150,000 in emergency aid to PH
More News from Agence France-Presse
VATICAN CITY — The Vatican on Monday announced it is donating $150,000 (112,000 euro) in emergency aid to the Philippines after Super Typhoon "Yolanda" (international name: Haiyan) devastated entire communities and left more than 10,000 people feared dead.
"Following the Haiyan Typhoon… the Holy Father has decided to send a first contribution of 150,000 dollars to help the population," the Vatican said in a statement.
The aid "will be distributed through the local Church in the areas worst hit by the tragedy" and will be "used to support aid operations for displaced people," it added.
The donation is intended as "a concrete expression of the pontiff's spiritual closeness and paternal support for the people and territories devastated by the floods," it said.
Pope Francis led 60,000 people in Sunday prayers for the Philippines, urging the faithful to provide "concrete help" to the largely Roman Catholic country.
"I ask all of you to join me in prayer for the victims of Typhoon Haiyan / Yolanda especially those in the beloved islands of the Philippines," he tweeted on Saturday.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan Friday said he was thankful he was not directly involved in legal tussle between producers of "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" and "Son of Sardaar".
He was referring to actor-producer Ajay Devgn sending a legal notice to Yash Raj Films for allegedly asking exhibitors to give prominence to "Jab Tak Hain Jaan" over "Son Of Sardaar."
"I was reading about it today. There are enough screens. These are all legal matters and thankfully it's not my production company," Shah Rukh told reporters at a press meet on his 47th birthday here.
"I hope they resolve it and on this Friday both the films do well," he said.
"I have nothing against anyone. I have no problem with anyone," he said.
The films are releasing Nov 13.

According to an article in Delhi times, the single screen theatres were given the rights to screen ek tha tiger, only if they sign a contract which suggests that they will exclusively run the next yrf production which happens to be JTHJ...and almost all the single screen theatres obliged...and this is the bone of contention...multiplexes will be able to screen both films but not the single screen theatres...and, SOS claims that this will kill their business...Yrf said they will not like to elaborate beyond their released press note..
Source-Delhi times...Suppliment of the times of india
Who the hell cares abt SOS
JTHJ is going to rock the charts as soon as it is released
SRK truly rocks
excited 4 JTHJ
Well Ajay was initially asked to postpone his release date.. but he didnt want to do it.
Then ofcourse everyone wants to make money.
Distributors knew that majority would love to watch JTHJ instead of SOS since it's from Yashraj and SRK, kat and other reasons..
Now when there are two films coming together how can u demand ur presence..
presence or priority is something that needs to be created not forcefully demanded.
Ajay should have listened to the industry fellows and postponed his release date.
f**k off SOS ...!!
JTHJ rocksss all the way..!!
Shahrukh Khan is the best...
none can even dream to beat him
Both movies seems promising,.
But i want to say this, that it is distributors fault that they are not doing fine job of distributing SOS,. and of course Yash Raj films has their own cell that distributes in major countries outside of Indian subcontinent (e.a, UK, USA,).
and BTW, SOS's Distributor, Viacom is not a small company, it is bigger then Yash Raj Films outside of India.
people are so biased here on IF i m surprised! instead of looking at the issue in logical manner, all everyone cares about is "I love yu srk , yashraj and blah blah". From what I know about bollywood, I have always respected ajay for his critical thinking and here hes not wrong either. its not about SOS and JTHJ comparison, both movies fit in completely different genres! So quit comparing them. If you love SRK sure, but then please dont criticize other actor just because he wants competition to be fair.
Only reason they hve said notice to YRF is because SOS is loosing on screen numbers, which to be honest shouldnt have happened. They have put money in this matter so sure they have to take steps to avoid necessary lose!
Oh btw I know lots of people are gonna dislike my post and honestly I dont care! I normally dont post but seeing all the comments couldnt control myself!
I like Shah Rukh for this reason, he is a nice guy, he never thinks bad of others, he is an awesome father, a nice husband and a nice brother. Miss the days when SRK used to work with REAL actresses: Kajol, Rani, Madhuri etc.
JTHJ roxxx...
no matter whoever tell whatever rubbish JTHJ is surely gonna be a hit...!!
I was going to watch JTHJ but then found out katrina was in it! So many good actresses in bollywood and they had to choose a non-actress for this role?? She is good to look at but cant act to save her life. Very disappointed! Miss the days when SRK used to work with REAL actresses: Kajol, Rani, Madhuri etc. :(

"I hope they resolve it and on this Friday both the films do well," he said.
I like Shah Rukh for this reason, he is a nice guy, he never thinks bad of others, he is an awesome father, a nice husband and a nice brother. We fans should learn from him and not bash other actors, I hate when Shah Rukh fans bash the other Khans, and when the other Khan fans bash Shah Rukh. I love SRK and I just cannot bash the others as I think it is not worth the effort. Everyone has the right to like/love whom ever they choose too :) Bashing others do not make your favorite actor better.
Love you Shah Rukh! You Rock!

Labels on toys now a law
MANILA, Philippines—President Aquino has enacted a law mandating labels on toys and games to protect children from potential health hazards.
The Toy and Game Safety Labeling Act of 2013 requires every toy or game, whether imported or manufactured locally, to be compliant with the Philippine National Standards on safety labeling.
The law mandates that a cautionary statement be displayed on the main panel of a product's package and on any descriptive materials accompanying it.
"The state shall ensure the protection of children against potential hazards to their health and safety by requiring special labeling of toys and games," Republic Act No. 10620, enacted on Sept. 3, says.
Concerns had been growing about toys made with substances that were toxic, corrosive, flammable or combustible.
RA 10610 imposes a fine of up to P50,000 or imprisonment of up to two years.—TJ Burgonio

Widening roads is just part of preparing for a population growth, said Marnie O'Brien Primmer, executive director of Southern California transportation advocacy group Mobility 21.
"It's going to be imperative to take a holistic approach to transportation," she said.
OCTA is planning for Metrolink ridership to more than double over the next 20 years. Long-term plans include building up rail infrastructure and increasing the number of trains. In the short term, Metrolink is working with other agencies to make navigating the regional rail system easier on the public.
By next year, Metrolink aims to offer service into downtown San Diego on its trains through an agreement with the North County Transit District. Mark Nitti, director of customer engagement for Metrolink, said there's a high demand for leisure travel in the region, especially on weekends.
Dealing with the long-term mobility needs of the area will require open minds and creative thinking, O'Brien Primmer said.
"The transportation future in South County has to take into account the existing infrastructure," she said. "What works in downtown L.A. isn't going to work in South County."

Vendor Lt Vacno STILL not selling correct items.
The vendor Lt Vacno on Galanda station says in the description she sells Mk VIII and Mk X Starship Equipment; Engines, Shields and Defectors.
She has the Mk VIII Equipment, but instead of Mk X Equip, she has Mk X consoles, the same ones another vendor in the same room has. She is the ONLY source of Mk X equipment for the PvP Medals.
Unless of course, you can afford the outragous prices in the Exchange.
This was once listed as "under investigation" on the Dev bug reports, but even as of the March 18th update on the Tribble test server this is STILL not fixed, even though it was reported as far back as the BETA version, and it is no longer listed in any of the Dev/enginnering/bug reports at all, in any category!
If the Developers intend for the Klingons to be a 95% PvP "faction" then we need to be able to access the PvP rewards, it is only fair, don't ya think?
I strongly encourage ALL Klingons to report this bug using the in game reporting system, since obviously the Developers will not fix it unless they feel enough players have noticed to it warrent a fix.
Thank You!
It's getting frustrating beyond belief but I keep telling myself that this is a ground floor game and be patient but it would be nice to pvp against the fed with equal opportunity.
I know this has been seen by the devs, hopefully it won't fall through the cracks. Venders can't be that tough of a fix...
One would think.
Also the bridge officer vender at the station is broken as well.
This has been escalated. If you run into these things file a bug report and post in the game bugs area with your bug report number.
I did post this in the game bugs area, once a while ago and again recently.
I have also filed 2 seperate bug reports using the in game system, and 3rd bug report via the Tribble test server.
I posted it here also to hopefully encourage others to file similiar bug reports to maybe get the developer's attention so it can be fixed since it's been known about since the Beta.
That explains the last line in my post. ;)
And how exactly do you retrieve your bug report ticket number? It flashes across the screen and in text chat, but when I go back to the reports I can't seem to locate it.
My klingon is using the MK X shield crafted by my fed... probably thats what crafting is meant for. :p
I got tired of waiting for the pvp vendor to get fixed and just ground out however many Empire Defense missions it took to get geared up. it was one of the least fun experiences I've had in this game, and really burned me out. it's probably a big part of the reason why I cancelled my account renewal. it really tainted what had been up to that point a very grind-free game.
also, in addition to the problem of not having any Mk X shields, engines or deflectors at all, this vendor will only take T3 pvp medals for the Mk VIII (T4) shields. this is all well and good if you happened to enter T4 with a big surplus of T3 medals, but if you didn't there is no way to get your blue T4 ship shield. you can't even pve for it because the pve vendor in Qonos will also only take T3 pve badges for the Mk VIII shields (and once you hit T4 there's no way to get any more T3 badges -- those pve missions become unavailable).
this means that from level 31 through 40, klingon players have to either use white ship shields, or buy shields on the exchange from fed players who have access to better gear. at 41, klingons must either finish the Empire Defense mission 4 times (which is 12 rounds of mind-numbing soul-destroying npc-killing) BECAUSE DOING IT 3 TIMES LEAVES YOU EXACTLY 1 BADGE SHORT OF BEING ABLE TO BUY YOUR MK X SHIELD, or just go without a good shield until they hit 45 and have accumulated enough marks of honor to buy a purple one.
and if you fly more than one ship in T5, and don't want to have to keep swapping your good gear back and forth between them, you have to do all this multiple times.
so, let's review. when a klingon reaches T5, they need 156 marks of honor to buy a purple ship shield, deflector dish and impulse engine. that's 32 days of dailies (same as feds, no problem there except that feds feds only need 16 days if they do their pve dailies as well, which klingons can't do). if they don't want to be stuck using whites all that time or want to be able to use those marks for other things like ground gear or ship weapons, they will need 678 badges of exploration, which requires completion of the Empire Defense mission 10 times (which requires 30 rounds of killing Cardassion or Borg npc's). or they can buy the gear from feds (usually at a steep markup on the exchange). klingons have NO OTHER OPTION.

Alzheimer's gene has greater effect on women
Determining why the the ApoE4 gene influences women more than men could help researchers gain a better understanding of Alzheimer's and its possible treatment options.
Tue, Apr 15, 2014 at 10:01 AM
Women with a certain gene are more likely than men with the same gene to develop Alzheimer's disease, a new study suggests.
In the study, healthy older women with the gene, called ApoE4, were 81 percent more likely to develop Alzheimer's diseaseor mild cognitive impairment (a condition that can lead to Alzheimer's) over a four-year period, compared with women who didn't have the gene.
On the other hand, older men in the study with the ApoE4 gene had only a marginal increase in their risk of Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment (a 27 percent increase), compared with men without the gene, the researchers said. [Extending Life: 7 Ways to Live Past 100]
The ApoE4 gene is known to increase the risk of Alzheimer's: People with one copy of the gene have a 2- to 4-fold increased risk of Alzheimer's, and those with two copies of the gene have a 10-fold increased risk. But few studies have looked at whether that risk differs between men and women, and doctors today generally view men and women with the ApoE4 gene as having equal risk for Alzheimer's, the researchers said.
The new findings suggest that doctors may need to change how they interpret the finding of an ApoE4 gene in people, depending on whether the patient is a man or a woman, the researchers said.
Figuring out the reason for this sex difference may help researchers better understand what causes Alzheimer's disease, and may reveal potential new ways to treat the condition, said study researcher Andre Altmann, of Stanford University School of Medicine.
In the study, the researchers examined information from more than 5,000 healthy older adults in the United States, most in their 60s and 70s, who did not have Alzheimer's or other types of cognitive problems, and about 2,200 people with mild cognitive impairment.
During the study period, about 950 healthy older adults progressed to developing Alzheimer's disease or mild cognitive impairment.
Women who had a single copy of the ApoE4 gene had a 1.8-fold increase in their risk of Alzheimer's disease, compared with women who carried the most common form of this gene, called ApoE3. But men with a single copy of the ApoE4 gene had no increase in their risk for Alzheimer's when compared to those with the ApoE3 gene.
The researchers noted that some participants may have dropped out of the study due to cognitive problems, and this may have affected the results.
The study was published is April 14 in the journal Annals of Neurology.

PUTRAJAYA: Plans are in place for Malaysia and five other countries to share their data on maritime movement under the Coral Triangle Initiative-Coral Reefs Fisheries and Food Security (CTI-CFF) to monitor overfishing.
Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Datuk Seri Dr Maximus J. Ongkili, who currently chairs the initiative, said top representatives from each of the six CTI-CFF member countries acknowledged the need to share information to tackle issues such as encroachment by foreign fishing vessels.
"With such cooperation, we can capture data on each ship passing through the area in real time using satellites. We are already doing that with Indonesia in the Straits of Malacca," he said after the 8th CTI-CFF Senior Officials Meeting and 4th Ministerial Meeting which ended yesterday.
Aside from Malaysia, which currently holds the CTI-CFF chairmanship from 2011 to 2013, other member countries include Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Timor Leste and the Solomon Islands.

This game is a Kinect fighting game in which you are the hero. Your pictures will be taken before each chapter and those pictures will be put into a comic book story line. There is the option to skip taking pictures and the comic by pressing :start:(Start button) on the controller.
Step 1: Story (Normal Difficulty)
All achievements can be obtained on normal difficulty. If you want a bit of a challenge you can play on hard if you'd like. There are multiple in-game tutorials that teach you how to perform moves, powers, and what each mystic relic is for. If by chance you miss an opportunity for an achievement, you can use chapter select by selecting "Continue Chapter" and selecting which chapter you want.
Step 2: Survival Modes
There are 4 survival modes that you have to play:
Step 3: Multiplayer
This multiplayer is a bit different than most Kinect games. You'll have to fight off enemies using the Kinect while your opponents are controlled by the controllers. There is only one multiplayer achievement which can be gained by yourself having 3 controllers.

This option allows you to pick which type of match you want against the enemies you want. You'll to play this at least once for the "Fast as Lightning" achievement. See the guide for other opportunies to use the Custom Game to your advantage.
NOTE: Most of the achievements can be gained in Custom Games, Multiplayer, and Survival modes. I recommend doing most of these in the story as you have to play through it anyway.
The game isn't that hard. The hardest achievement will be to reach level 21 in Survival: Horde which isn't that hard if you follow the guide. Although this is a kung fu game for Kinect, it isn't all that tiring to play. In several hours you will have earned another quick and easy 1000:gsicon:.

Reach round 21 in Survival: Horde.
There are 4 different survival modes you have to play:
Survival: Horde
Survival: Darkness
Survival: Shadow Warriors
Survival: Masked Warriors
With Darkness, Shadow Warriors, and Masked Warriors Survival Modes you only have to reach Round 7 which isn't too hard. Once Round 7 starts the achievement unlocks and you can just quit out if you'd like.
With Survival: Horde you have to reach Round 21. By doing so you will get the "Zookeeper" and "Extreme Survivalist" achievements.
Tips for reaching Round 21:
Defeat 100 enemies.
See "Black Belt"
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/-gKZrg==.jpgRed Belt 15:gsicon:
Defeat 200 enemies.
See "Black Belt"
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+6ByVw==.jpgBlack Belt 25:gsicon:
Defeat 400 enemies.
This should come naturally after completing the story and playing through the Survival modes. Enemies in mutiplayer and custom games add to this as well.
NOTE: Once you've reached 100, 200, and 400 marks, these achievements will unlock when the level ends (you complete the level or die)
If by chance you haven't defeated 400 enemies I recommend replaying Chapter 7. As long as you don't destroy the totem then the enemies will continue to respawn. Also see "Fight Marathon".
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+YF74g==.jpgRumbler 15:gsicon:
Damage four or more enemies with a single Ground Shaker.
You get the Ground Shaker in Chapter 4, but I would suggest waiting until Chapter 5 so you don't miss the "Tenacious" achievement. Just gather at least 4 enemies together or wait for them to come to you and perform the Ground Shaker.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+GGDcQ==.jpgZapper 15:gsicon:
Finish off three or more enemies using Lightning in one fight.
You first get Lightning in Chapter 7. Just kill 3 enemies with it and you'll get the achievement. You can punch and kick enemies as long as the final blow is the Lightning.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+qZv7A==.jpgPower Punisher 15:gsicon:
Hit an enemy from behind with Power Punch.
I got this in Chapter 2. The easiest way to get this is wait for when an enemy is about to attack and jump over them. The reason I say this is while they are attacking they are facing that direction and not following you. Once you are behind them perform the Power Punch. A good spot would be the boss for Chapter 4. Get a good distance between him and he will start moving slowly toward you with a swinging attack. Jump over him and perform the Power Punch.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+qZv7A==.jpgAir Superiority 15:gsicon:
Hit a flying enemy with Power Punch.
There is only one type of flying enemy in the game. You can either jump and perform a Power Punch or use an air duct and perform a Power Punch. I recommend the air duct because most times when you jump they fly up a bit. You don't even have to finish them off, just hit them. The earliest you can get this is Chapter 6.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+0aXfw==.jpgSlo-Mo Master 15:gsicon:
Deal damage six times during a single Time Stop.
All you have to do is make sure you make 6 attacks while in Time Stop. It takes generally two hits for weak enemies and many for bosses. So as long as you have 3 enemies or a boss you should get this with no prblem. Chances are if you use Time Stop you will get this by accident.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/-VqRRw==.jpgNick of Time 15:gsicon:
Block an attack when you have less than 10% health remaining.
This game is so easy you'll probably have to let the enemies get your power down and when you're close to dying just block by putting your hands in front of your face. To make it less likely to get hit, I suggest ducking and blocking so they can't get you with a low attack.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/UPsTrpQ=.jpgPerfect Style 30:gsicon:
Reach 100% style in a single fight by using a varied combination of attacks.
This can be combined with the "Artful Dodger" achievement. I got this on Chapter 2 by accident. I was going for the Artful Dodger achievement and ended up dying and still got the achievement. In short, do all the dodges, get some combos, punch, kick, and power punch some enemies.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/UPrzVgc=.jpgFight Marathon 30:gsicon:
Defeat 100 or more enemies during a single fight.
If you play the game normally you won't get this by accident as there aren't any fights with 100 enemies. Even beating 20 levels of Survival: Horde will only net you around 85. The best place to get this is Chapter 7. As long as you don't destroy the totem the enemies will continue to respawn 3 at a time. Just keep killing them and the achievement will pop once you reach 100. An alternate location would be Chapter 2. As long as you don't close all the cargo containers enemies will continuously respawn. However, the enemies respawn a lot faster in Chapter 7.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+Ph6vg==.jpgHeadshot! 15:gsicon:
Shoot a Giant in the head with the Magic Bow.
This can be done in Chapter 12. Once you destroy the barriers and defeat the few enemies that charge at you, the giant will come out next round. Just aim up and shoot him in the face.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/UPjSX7I=.jpgKung-Fu Party! 20:gsicon:
Complete a multiplayer fight against 3 or more players controlling enemies.
This can easily be done by yourself with 3 controllers. Just go to "Custom Game" and select multiplayer and make sure to have the rounds set to one. Press A on the controllers and select your baddies. Start the fight, beat the 3 enemies and once the fight is over the achievement is yours.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/UPkypyE=.jpgArtful Dodger 15:gsicon:
In a single fight, perform a dodge, duck, flip dodge, backflip dodge and jump dodge.
You can get this as early as Chapter 2. It's very simple just perform all of the dodge moves. You'll know when you've performed the move as it will tell you on the screen.
Dodge – Move to the side
Duck – Simply duck down
Flip Dodge – While facing the enemy, jump slightly forward and throw your arms up and forward (as if you were diving into a pool)
Backflip Dodge – While facing the enemy, jump slightly backward and throw your arms up and back
Jump Dodge – Just jump a low attack.
The in-game tutorials will show you how to do these dodges.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+Ph6vg==.jpgWilliam Tell 15:gsicon:
Score five consecutive hits using the Magic Bow.
The earliest you can get this is Chapter 6. As long as you hit any enemy 5 times in a row without missing you'll get this achievement. I waited until I knocked the mini boss out of the tree and when he was charging I shot him. He will stagger giving you another opportunity to hit him again. Repeat 3 more times and the achievement is yours.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/-ptgYQ==.jpgTenacious 25:gsicon:
In Chapter 4: Helmet Blunder, defeat the Shadow Guard without using Ground Shaker.
Once you get to the checkpoint, an in-game tutorial will teach you how to do the Ground Shaker. You have to do the Ground Shaker to continue and then you'll instantly have to fight the Shadow Guard. What I did was wait for him to do his slow swinging attacks and once he got pretty close I'd jump over him power punch him a few times and back away. I continued this until he was defeated. Also watch out for his Ground Shaker attack. Just jump straight up to avoid.
He pretty much has two health bars. Once the first one gets down about halfway a few other enemies will show up. They can easily be taken out. Once the first bar is depleted, his helmet falls off and the second health bar takes no time to eliminate.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/-3uY8g==.jpgPick on Someone Your Own Size 15:gsicon:
Finish off a Giant while giant-sized yourself.
Chapter 10 is where you'll get this achievement. Once the giant spawns look for a shrine to break to get the green orb. This will turn you into a giant. If the power runs out, just wait for another one and finish him off. Another way is to get his power down before you get the green orb.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/UPsTrpQ=.jpgTactician 25:gsicon:
Win a single fight without physically touching any enemies yourself.
What I did was set up a custom game with only one round and one enemy. Use only lightning to defeat them. Simple as that.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/-ptgYQ==.jpgWham! 15:gsicon:
Hit an Armored Inkling while Mega Damage is active.
You can get this in Chapter 9. The Armored Inkling is a boss that has a very damaging close attack. For this achievement make sure to get the Mega Damage relic (yellow orb) and while it's active just hit the Armored Inkling.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+GGDcQ==.jpgMultitasker 15:gsicon:
Hit an enemy while zapping a different enemy with Lightning.
Lightning will be available in Chapter 7. While you are in the middle of two enemies, zap the one in front of you and punch the one behind you.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+zmLmA==.jpgFast as Lightning 20:gsicon:
Complete a Mayhem Designer fight against a total of 6 or more enemies with a time scale of 150%.
For this go to Custom Fight and then Mayhem Designer. Go to Movement Options and set the time scale to 150%. You can set it up however you want, but I chose "a few" inklings which is six and the round to 1. From there just start the match and defeat the enemies.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+YF74g==.jpgAnd Stay Down! 20:gsicon:
Finish off a Giant by bringing one down to its knees, then using Ground Shaker on its back.
I would combined this with "Pick on Someone Your Own Size". When the giant is down on his knees, just continue to do the Ground Shaker. (The Ground Shaker is where you jump up and when you're coming down you punch toward the ground.)
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+Ph6vg==.jpgVolley! 20:gsicon:
Shoot 100 or more arrows with the Magic Bow during one fight.
The best place to get this is Chapter 12. You start off with a barrier in front of you which blocks the enemies' spears as long as you are right beside it. Just get the flaming bow relic and move right beside the barrier and shoot at your own barrier. I say this because you don't want to accidently destroy their barriers and have them rush you while you're still going for the achievement. The bow relic will replenish so you won't run out of arrows. Just keep an eye on the enemies' spears.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+Ph6vg==.jpgBullseye! 15:gsicon:
Use the Magic Bow to hit an enemy that is over 30 meters away.
In the same location as the "Volley!" achievement (Chapter 12), just aim your bow high and at an angle to shoot it to the enemies on the other side. Make sure your arrows go OVER their barriers and hit the enemies directly.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/+tlzCw==.jpgDouble Black Belt of Awesomeness 65:gsicon:
Acquire all other achievements.
Self explanatory. This will unlock right after you get your last achievement.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...3/UPkypyE=.jpgUntouchable 30:gsicon:
For 3 minutes, avoid hitting and getting hit by enemies in Chapter 2: Trouble at the Docks.
The strategy I used was when you have to close the first container, make sure you have one enemy still alive and close the container. I jumped onto the middle platform and waiting for him to jump up. Then jump down and he will jump down. Wait for him to get somewhat close and jump over him back to the middle platform. (I say "somewhat close" because you don't want him too close to you when you jump or you'll hit him.) After you jump the platform just power punch across to the end and wait for him to jump up. Jump down and repeat the process until the achievement pops. This 3 minutes feels like a long time, but if you keep to this strategy you'll get it.
Also when flipping over the enemy I recommend doing back flips as opposed to front flips. With me, front flips seemed to move my character forward a little bit before actually flipping which results in hitting the enemy.

Sotomayor vote could impact Fla. Senate race
MIAMI If there is one place where any bad feelings from the hearings on Sonia Sotomayor's Supreme Court nomination could have lasting consequences, it's Florida, the pesky swing state that the second-largest Puerto Rican community outside the island calls home.
Although Sen. Mel Martinez, who announced Friday that he would leave his seat a year early, broke ranks to vote in favor of Sotomayor and urged fellow Republicans to do likewise, both major GOP candidates to replace him came out against her.
Whether they or other Republicans will pay a price for opposing the nomination of Sotomayor, whose parents are from Puerto Rico, could prove critical in the race to replace Martinez and other statewide campaigns on the horizon.
Hispanics in key swing states overwhelmingly embraced the Democratic Party last year, weakening the argument that the nation's fastest-growing electorate is up for grabs. But observers say Florida could set the tone for how much the Sotomayor vote influences future elections across the country. She was confirmed Thursday 68-31, with only nine Republicans voting in favor.
"Florida is ground zero," said Janet Murguia, head of the nonprofit National Council of La Raza, a liberal-leaning Hispanic group.
Concentrated in central Florida's I-4 corridor – the amusement park-studded stretch of land from Tampa through Orlando to Daytona Beach – there are more than 725,000 Puerto Ricans in the state and they have often voted for Republicans, especially in state and local elections. They could play a key role next year in deciding who fills Martinez's seat. The nonprofit Pew Hispanic Center, combining voter registries and census data, estimates Puerto Ricans make up about 4 percent of the state's voters.
"Right now, the Puerto Rican-rich I-4 vote is, without doubt, the most sought after vote in Florida because it is considered a swing vote that can make or break a statewide election," said Republican consultant Ana Navarro. "I can't help but believe this vote and the statements these candidates are making will be a very important factor for the Latino community, and in close races, these factors make a difference."
Charlie Crist, the popular GOP governor who is leading in the polls for Martinez's seat but must still burnish his conservative credentials, said he opposed Sotomayor's record on gun rights, though he had previously tapped a judge to the Florida Supreme Court whom the National Rifle Association opposed.
Martinez, one of only two Hispanic U.S. senators, announced Friday that he would resign now rather than finishing out his term, allowing Crist to appoint a placeholder. Crist said he would not appoint himself.
Marco Rubio, the dynamic former state House speaker and other announced Republican candidate for the seat, also cited the Second Amendment in opposing Sotomayor's nomination. He called her an activist judge because of her statements and record suggesting she would defer to Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court ruling that legalized abortion nationwide.
Rubio, who is Cuban-American, said those who opposed the Sotomayor nomination were unfairly painted as anti-Hispanic.
Opponents are "certainly not going to say it's a principled position," he said.

KTM LC4 Toolbox Tabs FIX?

Joined: Feb 2004
Location: Circumlocution Office of Little Dorrit
Oddometer: 14,253
A very nice company named J&M Products (SoCal) took my specs and sent me a couple of their clamps to demo. I will get the clamp number and specs for y'all later so you can order or get some for yourselves...
The other ones I got at HD are below the envelope:
Now when you bend them over the bar and tabs they fit nearly perfectly, well essentially perfectly
So I'm thinkin plug and play... BUT, these clamps are designed to align the fastener holes when closed and the tabs don't allow that so i started the process of filing one hole so that the fastener could get through. of course I don't have the right tool for that job (dremel) and i have other things to do so i only half completed it, but y'all could easily finish this job yerselves:
Note the inner part of the clamp won't sit until the hole is fixed:
Once this mod is complete they should be great!

My Mother, the Mayor
B.J. Pinkerton things its great that her mother is running for mayor! But theres never been a woman mayor before, and her mother is a Democrat while the rest of the town is Republican. It takes a lot of hard work to make an underdog into a winner. In fact, ten-year-old B.J., her sister and three brothers, her father, and the dog have to make some big sacrificeslike having hot dogs for dinner every night. But can her mother really win? If so, why did her campaign manager say shes a sure loser? And why does he spend so much time with the other candidate? B.J. smells a rat, and shes determined to find out who it is!

Pamela K. Matura, Executive Director, Area Agency on Aging District 7
National Family Caregiver Month is observed every November around the world to draw attention to the many challenges facing family caregivers, to advocate for public policy to address family caregiver issues, and to raise awareness about the community programs that support family caregivers. The first presidential proclamation to promote the celebration of family caregivers began in 1997, and every year since then, a proclamation has been issued to express appreciation for caregivers.
Family caregivers provide $450 billion worth of unpaid care each year. Family caregivers are the backbone of the nation's long-term care system. There are as many as 90 million family caregivers in the United States today. Information released from the National Family Caregiver Association relays that two out of five adults are family caregivers caring for older adults, grandchildren, family members, neighbors, and friends. Men are now almost as likely to say they are family caregivers as women and 36 percent of younger Americans between the ages of 18 and 29 are family caregivers as well, including one million young people who care for loved ones with Alzheimer's disease. As many as one million Americans are caring in their homes for military service members who are suffering from traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder, or other wounds and illnesses. With the ranks of family caregivers growing every year, we recognize the importance to the nation of the role that family caregivers play.
We believe it is important for places of business to recognize that employees are often providing care for loved ones and may need assistance. As a community member, you can take action by delivering dinner to a caregiving family once a week, offering to provide the caregiver a short break, or providing transportation. The Family Caregiver Support Program at the Area Agency on Aging District 7 (AAA7) can offer advice and check on options that may be in your community depending on availability, eligibility and other factors. As more and more individuals are being cared for at home by loved ones and friends, there is an even greater need to have as much caregiving support options and services available as possible. We will continue to advocate for caregivers and advocate for the continuation and growth of support services and programs to best benefit their needs. To learn more, please call us at 1-800-582-7277.
