Here's a question for you. Should sugar be labeled a toxin and regulated like alcohol and tobacco? There are some in the scientific community that say absolutely.
Robert Lustig M.D, Laura Schmidt PhD. and Claire Brindis DPH, all researchers in health policy, argue in an opinion piece called "The Toxic Truth About Sugar" in the February issue of the journal Nature that sugar and other sweeteners are so toxic to the human body that access to them should be strictly regulated, especially for children.
Although not calling for a complete ban on sugar, Lustig and his colleagues say there are certain regulations the government could apply.
"For both alcohol and tobacco, there is robust evidence that gentle 'supply side' control strategies which stop short of all-out prohibition -- taxation, distribution controls, age limits -- lower both the consumption of the product and the accompanying health harms," they wrote.
Lustig has long been a proponent of labeling sugar a toxin. Lustig and colleagues noted that sugar poses dangers similar to those of alcohol. Fructose, specifically, can harm the liver, they wrote, and over-consumption has been linked with all the diseases involved with metabolic syndrome: hypertension, high triglycerides, insulin resistance, and diabetes.
It also has the potential for abuse, they wrote, as it interferes with the signaling of hunger hormones leptin and ghrelin and tinkers with dopamine pathways. It exacts a great cost, they said, with the U.S. spending $65 billion in lost productivity and $150 billion on healthcare every year for problems related to metabolic syndrome.
Sugar has been called "empty calories" for a long time, but the researchers write it's more than that. "There is nothing empty about these calories. A growing body of scientific evidence is showing that fructose can trigger processes that lead to liver toxicity and a host of other chronic diseases. A little is not a problem, but a lot kills--slowly."
The U.S. population is already more than two-thirds overweight and about 75 percent of U.S. health-are dollars are spent on diet-related diseases, Dr. Lustig explains. The risk of liver failure, obesity, heart disease and diabetes are rising rapidly, and it seems drastic measures needs to take place in order for change.
"We're not talking prohibition," Dr. Schmidt says in a statement. "We're not advocating a major imposition of the government into people's lives. We're talking about gentle ways to make sugar consumption slightly less convenient, thereby moving people away from the concentrated dose. What we want is to actually increase people's choices by making foods that aren't loaded with sugar comparatively easier and cheaper to get."
Other researchers argue that other substances may be the cause of the obesity epidemic.
Some say that saturated fat, not sugar, is the root cause of obesity and chronic disease. Others say that it is highly processed foods with simple carbohydrates. Still others argue that it is a lack of physical exercise. It could, of course, be a matter of all these issues.

Special requirements
To earn a Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Language, students must complete at least 39 credits within the major, 36 credits of which must be upper-level (300-level or above), with a minimum GPA of 2.25 within the major.
Majors in foreign language are encouraged to choose a minor that will broaden their global and cultural perspectives. Foreign language majors are encouraged — but not limited — to complete the course requirements for a minor in one of the following fields: African studies, Arabic and Middle Eastern studies, anthropology, Chinese and Asian Studies, economics, business (general business minor), French, geography, German, history, Italian studies, Mediterranean studies, political science, religious studies, Russian studies, sociology, Spanish or urban and regional studies. Students also may want to consider a double major. The School of World Studies Advising Office will work with students to explore the benefits of a double major and/or a minor.
All foreign language majors, students transferring credits from study abroad and transfer students who intend to major in a foreign language must take a minimum of two 400-level courses at VCU in the chosen language area. Both credit and distribution (minimum of 10 courses) requirements for the concentration must be satisfied.
The foreign language program offers a varied interdisciplinary humanities curriculum, global in scope and designed to increase students' knowledge about the cultures and traditions, languages, literature and media, history, values, concerns, and aspirations of peoples in different countries and regions of the world. The goal of the program is ultimately also to both broaden students' comparative intercultural perspectives and develop their cross-cultural communication abilities. Students have the option to pursue a focus or even combination of concentrations in foreign language(s), area studies and/or global issues (in either cinema and/or social justice), depending upon their interests and career plans. Within each chosen concentration or minor, the range of offerings allows for flexibility in configuring each individual's course of study, which can be organized in a manner that best suits a student's particular needs.
The Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Language will qualify students to pursue any of a number of career paths, including international communications, business and marketing, aid and development, journalism, or education; government foreign service, international affairs, immigration service or the Peace Corps; nongovernmental organizations involved in development, relief programs, immigration or human rights advocacy; or public relations in a multicultural environment. Graduates of our program will also find opportunities in teaching at home or abroad, as well as in work with a variety of public-service organizations. In addition, an undergraduate degree in foreign language provides excellent background and qualifications for admittance to graduate degree programs in a number of humanities disciplines, including foreign languages and international studies, as well as in international law, business or journalism.

The '66 Sting Ray that you see here is what the NCRS calls an "example car." That's because it served as an example during the advanced judging seminar that NCRS held during its winter meet early this year in Kissimmee, Florida. They couldn't have picked a more distinctive midyear as an example, thanks to one very significant feature: The RPO K19 Air Injection Reactor (AIR) pump, an early-generation emission-control device required on all Corvettes sold new in California that year, and factory-installed on just 2,380 of the 27,720 '66 Sting Rays that rolled out of St. Louis Assembly.
Back in the day, many AIR pumps-and their related hoses and hardware-were launched on cross-shop suborbital flights that landed them in the scrap bin, many times soon after the car arrived home from the selling dealer. That's because, in their effort to reduce hydrocarbon emissions, they tended to reduce the performance of the engines that they were attached to. In reality, the actual performance reduction wasn't that great.
Bill Usher says that finding all the K19-related pieces was probably the biggest challenge in restoring this particular Sting Ray back to original. "There were so few cars made with it, and damn few spare parts available if you're going to recreate that particular option," he says from his Seabrook, Texas home. "It's expensive, and it's hard to do right. But, at the end of the day, within the NCRS circles, that's what made the car stand out."
Fortunately, Bill got help in getting a restored and functioning AIR system on his midyear. "I was able through Bill Hodel, who specializes in AIR systems, to get the right-dated components, and get that thing hooked up. It took about two or three months to get right, because there's a lack of documentation on how those AIR systems are supposed to be hooked up. There are more hoses on it-we were calling all over the country looking for the hoses."
However, it didn't take an involved search for Bill to find this Sting Ray in the first place. "I bought the car at an auction in May of 2008," he says. "It was at a World Wide Group Auction at the Lakewood Yacht Club, at the 'Keels and Wheels Concours d'Elegance' they have in Seabrook, Texas, every year." He says the car was in reasonable condition. "It actually looked good and ran fine, but I'm a Master Judge in the NCRS," and he found some glaring unoriginality in what was his first big-block Vette.
"When I bought it, it had a set of three dealer-installed Holley two-barrel carburetors on it, a Tri Power setup that was not appropriate for this 'IM' code engine, the 390 horsepower L36," he says. "Being an originality buff, that was the first thing that I changed. I said, 'I want this thing to be correct.'"
And correctness is what he got, thanks to K19 help from Bill Hodel, as well as that he received from Gordon Andrus' Houston Corvette Service-a shop that had previously collaborated with Bill on a Duntov Award-winning '61 Corvette. Also involved in this project was Westside Performance, who rebuilt the 427 to fresh-from-St. Louis-via-Tonawanda condition. "What it amounted to was an analysis of the engine, and getting everything back to the original specifications," says Bill of the shops' work. "The engine is now putting out probably a little over 390 horsepower, and it runs beautifully" he adds.
The original Nassau Blue paint was in good enough shape that it didn't need any refinishing, while the interior was treated to a fresh set of seat covers and carpets. But the '66's 427-and its exhaust system-was where the bulk of the work was done. "When I bought the car, it had side pipes," Bill recalls. "It didn't take very long to figure out that it was not a factory side pipe car. So, we had to re-duct the exhaust out the rear valence, and that was one of our discoveries. Another was getting the correct single carburetor on it. Then we had to find the correct intake manifold for it-one for oval-port heads, which the L36 has." That correct Holley carburetor, by the way, is one with provisions to accept the RPO K19 plumbing.

UPDATE: Turns out that Romney may have been talking not about the change of address form the doctor had to file with the Post Office, but the one he had to file with Medicaid. But as Greg Sargent tells us, the form providers have to file with Medicaid to change their addresses is ... two pages long! More than a postcard, in other words, but a whole lot less than 33 pages. I think my point—that candidates shouldn't repeat any damn fool thing some random person tells them as though it were the truth, just because it accords with their ideology—stands.
In all the furor that gripped the country over Wawagate, I almost missed this tidbit from James Fallows, who despite being a national treasure and one of America's finest journalists is subjecting himself to the indignity of traveling with Mitt Romney's campaign. Apparently, on the stump yesterday Mitt described how "a doctor told him that he had to fill out a 33-page change-of-address form, several times, to get the post office to send his mail—including reimbursement checks—to his new location. That is what happens with government-run organizations where you have 'no competition.'"
Aargh. You want to talk disconnected? Forget the Wawa, this shows just how clueless Mitt Romney is, or perhaps just how stupid he thinks the rest of us are. Have you ever changed your address? You probably have. Did you have to fill out a 33-page form? Of course you didn't. The form to change your address is a friggin' postcard. Old address, new address, when you want the change to happen. Done. You can do it online now, and it'll take about 2 minutes. Yet Mitt Romney gets up in front of a crowd of people and tells them that government is so awful, at the Post Office you have to fill out a 33-page form to change your address.
The Postal Service has plenty of problems, almost all of which are caused by Congress requiring them to do all sorts of things that cost lots of money, like pre-paying their pension costs and delivering mail to rural areas. But to echo my buddy Tom Schaller, if the Romney campaign doesn't like the Post Office, maybe they ought to send all their mail via FedEx and see how they like it when a letter costs twenty bucks to send instead of 44 cents. There are some more details in this piece that I wrote two years ago, which is still relevant.
The fact that Romney can't make a case for the superiority of private enterprise over the Post Office without telling absurd lies about it ought to tell you something. This reminds me of nothing so much as that time Michele Bachmann went on television and said that a woman told her that her daughter got the HPV vaccine and "suffered mental retardation as a result." Everybody mocked Bachmann for that, so why isn't everyone doing the same thing to Romney?

For the many many many hoops that the USPS has to jump thru, they do a good job delivering the mostly junk mail to my house. Again multimillionaire Romney, who never has walked to the mailbox to pick up the mail, (has his Hispanic landscaper do that) has no clue what or who the USPS is.
Tue, 2012-06-19 12:25
Unfortunately, it is semi-correct information. It's changing the address with MEDICARE that requires the 33-page form 855, not the post office. It is definitely a pain to fill out - I used to do it for our hospital, evey time we changed executives or opened a new clinic, etc.
Tue, 2012-06-19 16:19
The USPS only ran a loss last year because they are forced to pre-fund their retirement account for 75 years in advance. What other company ANYWHERE is made to do that? We currently have one of the cheapest Postal services in the world and it doesn't take ANY federal money.
It's amazing that people still bitch about them.

mitt is a sociopathic liar. he will say anything. and he does. he lied to all the companies he trashed and to the employees so he could steal their pensions. thats what sociopaths do. bashar al-assad is also a sociopath. they dont like "ordinary people". they LIKE to FIRE people. they like to STEAL from PEOPLE. they are SOCIOPATHS.

My parents went thru the great depression of the 30s, when will people wake up, it was the U. S. Government who put people back to work, it was not the private sector. and then World War ll, that put people back to work, with government contracts, big business does not have your interest in mind only their own, To Hell with the comman man, is their belief. When can anyone remember the private sector repairing bridges and road, and building dams, none that I can think of but yet some in the house and senate will not pass a bill to get these things done. They fillerbust everything that will put people back to work. I worked for many, many years in upper management of a very large corporation and I know first hand that the owners of large companys do not give a dam about thier employees only what they can get out of them for as little as they have to pay, period. The Union is the only thing that a common man can have to force the owners to pay a decent wage for their labors. A worker by himself or herself has no chance, they are just fired. And that my friends, that is the truth, and if you believe differently you are the fool, and you will pay for being the fool, with the loss of your job if you are lucky enough to have one, it is not Bushes fault, it is your fault for allowing him and his kind to do the things that they did. REMEMBER THIS, YOU HAVE THE VOTE, AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT.

It wasn't a lie - Providers do have to fill out a form that is more than 33 pages long to get name, address, bank routing information corrected or changed. It has nothing to do with the Post Office - It is called an 855 Form. Too quick to judge, and now you have egg on your face.

Elvis and Me, Then and Now
Elvis wore a suit and tie and his signature black framed glasses. His dark hair was shiny and slicked back. It was a grand performance. He played my favorite song, "Alison."
I kissed a boy.
After the concert, Val and I sneaked into the bar at the Holiday Inn where we heard Mr. Costello was staying. We giggled as we watched him drinking beer at the bar. When we finally got the courage to say hello, he was kind. The night was magic.
Last Tuesday I saw Elvis Costello at the Arlington Theater in Santa Barbara. He played alone on the stage with his guitar. I am 45 years old and my hair has been dyed to cover the gray. I wore a vaguely business casual ensemble with a colorful scarf to keep off the chill. I sat in my assigned seat and clapped appreciatively between songs. The crowd looked like the population of a 30 year high school class reunion. More than one of the men resembled Mr. Belvedere with a ponytail. Someone got kicked out for taking a picture with his i-phone.
Elvis wore a suit and a tie and his signature black framed glasses. His temples were graying and under his hat, a receding hairline. It was a grand performance. He played my favorite song, "Alison."
I kissed my husband.
After the concert, Jeff and I talked and laughed on the long ride back home. When we got to the house, I tiptoed into the room of the little boy who had he been born a girl, might have been named Alison. The night was magic.

As for the logon complaint, I've had that too, but I've put up with it. This BS, however, I will not. If patience is a virtue, then I am far from a virtuous man.

text: To celebrate the birthday of one William Shatner, Hulu is running a pretty good promotion — every episode of every Star Trek season is available to stream over the service from now until the end of March. The original series, The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise are all available on demand — nearly 700 episodes in all. This applies whether or not you're subscribed to Hulu Plus, though those who aren't will obviously be limited to watching these shows on their computers. Nonetheless, it's hard to argue with the price — if you want to overload on Star Trek prior to the May 17th release of Into Darkness, now's your chance.

I came out here today to show that I can stand up and play on the outside. It's been a great time showing my skills and that I can make that transition. I'm gonna show I'm a coverage linebacker.
What did you measure during the weigh-in?
I measured in this morning at 6'2, 242. I was listed at 250 but I lost weight during the year.
How was today's practice different than at Wisconsin?
The biggest thing I noticed was that these coaches are keeping it simple. They're allowing everyone to understand the situation.
What's your biggest asset when you step on the football field?
I will be able to cover well, man on man and stuff like that.
What scouts have showed interest in you the last few days?
I had interviews from Scouts from Carolina, Chicago, Philadelphia, Kansas City, San Francisco, Washington, Atlanta and New England.
Most of the teams are 43 teams, how do you feel about that?
I'm likely gonna have to stand up and play strong side linebacker and I feel I can work in any scheme. But I would love to put my hand down and just get up and go.
Freddie Barnes, WR Bowling Green
Where are you training to develop your skills?
I've been working with Tony Valeri from XPE in South Florida for my training. I've been there for two weeks. I didn't get invited to the combine so I'm just getting ready for my pro day which is on April 18 th
What scouts have showed interest in you the last few days?
Scouts from the Falcons, Bears, Panthers, Bucs and Chiefs all have approached me.
150 catches in one season is a feat no one has ever accomplished. Who do you attribute to your success?
I thank God first and foremost because I've been injured for the majority of my first four years. Me and Tyler Sheehan have been together for three years now and we just have a great understanding of each other.
You're not a blazing fast wideout, nor are you the tallest, what's your biggest asset and what allows you to get so open so often?
I played quarterback all throughout high school and through my sophomore year at Bowling Green. That allowed me to develop a great knowledge for the game. I feel like I'm much better at going through reads because of it.
What has your experience been like here at this All-Star Game?
It's been nice here in Orlando because for years it was always about the team and making the group better. Now scouts are getting to know me and hopefully I can show what I can do on the field.
Greg Hardy, DE Ole Miss
How has the draft process been for you?
It's fun to be out here. I'm certainly excited to be out in this great weather.
You missed some time with a wrist injury. Has that effected your play at all?
My wrist feels good, I'm not having too much of a problem with it, there aren't any lingering effects and it's for sure 100%.
Where are you training to develop your skills?
I'm currently training at Michael Johnson's speed camp to work in preparation for the combine
How crazy does this whole process get and what kind of questions are you getting?
It's been very repetitive, most of these scouts ask the same basic questions, but it's still fun. You just gotta have a good attitude out here and good things will happen.
Where do you feel more comfortable, on the right or left side?
I'm more natural on the right, that's where I've always played but I can also play on the left. But I do believe I have the versatility to stand up and play linebacker and do all that.
What did you measure during the weigh-in?
I weighed in at 279, I dropped 9 lbs since the start of the season.
Patrick Simonds, WR Colgate
What do you expect to run in the 40 time?
If I told you, you wouldn't believe me. I've been running a 4.48, 4.49 which is pretty impressive at my size. I have the size and athleticism and I'm willing to work at it to get better.
Darrell Stuckey, S Kansas
I read a recent KU article labeling you the 'Tim Tebow' of the Kansas defense. How do you feel about that?
I'm not as vocal as Tim is, but I do lead by example and I'm heard when I need to. But he's a great guy and he's made a great impact on the game.
Where are you training to develop your skills?
Right now I've been training for the combine and just reflecting what I want to do with the rest of my life.
How has Kansas prepared you for the next level?
Coach Bowen has done a fantastic job in preparing us throughout my career.
What did you measure during the weigh-in?
I measured in at 5'11, 207
Do you prefer strong or free safety?
I played both Free and strong throughout my career but I played strong as a senior because we didn't have much else. I do feel comfortable at either position though.
Which wide receiver was the toughest you faced all season?
Jordan Shipley would probably be the guy, he's the toughest receiver we faced all season, he's versatile and strong yet he finds ways to get open.
Seyi Aijrotutu, WR Fresno State
What did you measure during the weigh-in?
I measured in at 6'3, 211, not quite the 6'4 I was listed at. I've never even been 6'3!
What's it like out there during practice and do you feel you're prepared for the next level?
I feel like I have what it takes. It's a mindset that you have to put yourself in. Everyone's on the same skill level, same quickness out here. Everyone just makes plays. Luckily I didn't drop a ball out here today so I'm feeling good.
Where are you training for the combine?
I'm training in West Lake, California
What are you expecting to run in the 40?
I think I can run a 4.5, that's been my main focus just running 40′s after 40′s. 4.5 would be adequate for my size so I'm just working hard.
What would you like to take out of this week of practice?
I'm just looking forward to having fun. I just want to come out here and play and play well.
It looked like you and Verran Tucker were having some laughs out there. Is he your biggest competition out here?
Absolutely, I think Tucker and I are the top dogs out here and we've were going back and forth all day. He's a Cal guy, I'm from Fresno State so the whole rivalry thing is making this fun.
Any of these corners have your number today?
No way. Hah, no but Brian Jackson and I had some fun out there. We train at the same place together so it's been a good time.
Dennis Pitta, TE BYU
How has your college experience prepared you for the road ahead?
I feel like I'm very well prepared, I'm much more mature in age than some of these guys and certainly my college experience has prepared me the right way.
What did you measure during the weigh-in?
I measured in at 6'4, 245.
What's it like having Max Hall throw you passes out here?
It's nice because it feels comfortable. It's obviously going to be an adjustment when you have new quarterbacks throwing to you.
Where are you training for the combine?
I've been training at Velocity, it's in Urbine, California.
What's your biggest asset on the football field?
Just being able to catch the football. I've been the go-to guy at BYU and I feel like I can continue that role. I want to be the guy that a quarterback can count on when needed.
Max Hall, QB BYU
So what do you think of former teammate Dennis Pitta?
He's a great player. He was my main target for three years and we had a blast together.
If I'm an NFL GM, why should I draft you?
I can make all of the throws necessary and I know I can command and lead a huddle. I may be a little small but I can stand in the pocket and make the throws they ask of me.
Where are you training for the combine?
I've been training in Scottsdale, Arizona, just trying to get bigger and stronger while still improving my arm strength.
How has this week of practice helped you develop as a player?
Learning from these coaches is very helpful. These guys know what they're talking about and they are certainly preparing me for the next step.

If you're into Corvette history, you know how much influence Zora Arkus-Duntov exerted over the first three generations of America's Only True Sports Car. Indirectly, Duntov also had an influence on this particular midyear-and the man who hid a fourth-generation ZR-1 inside it.
When Dren Adams was in high school in the late '50s, he attended a vocational-technical facility where he not only studied auto shop, but built what he called a "Poor Man's Corvette." That was when mechanically minded men across the country built hot rods using the bodies, frames, and powerplants they could find. Back then, those tended to be Blue Oval products, given the ready availability of used B.O. hardware, especially flathead V-8 engines.
Adams' creation was a flathead-powered '39 Mercury drop-top, but its naming (other than the formal name he gave it, "The Wild Hare") could be tied to an intra-Chevrolet memo that Duntov wrote in December 1953 titled "Thoughts Pertaining To Youth, Hot Rodders and Chevrolet." In it, he proposed, "...development of a range of special parts...[that] should be made available to the public," to modify the all-new V-8 that was in the works for 1955. You know the rest of that story: Not only did Chevrolet begin developing high-performance parts for that V-8, but so did the automotive aftermarket (especially after Chevrolet shipped Vic Edelbrock one of the first production engines). By the end of the decade, Chevy's reputation for high performance had been established, and it gave young men of the time something to dream about-and aim for. Thus, Adams' "Poor Man's Corvette," which appeared on a few magazine covers in the early '60s.
Fast-forward nearly four decades. Adams had developed such a fondness for the fourth-generation factory super-Vette-the four-cam, 32-valve, LT5-powered ZR-1-that he ended up with five of them. His familiarity with the C4 and other Chevys led him to put the powertrain and chassis hardware from a ZR-1 in a '57 Chevy Bel Air Sport Coupe, which he showed at Corvettes at Carlisle back in 1996, at the invitation of the ZR-1 Registry. "Chip Miller said, 'If you bring another car here, it's got to be all Corvette,'" he says. "So, I decided to do a '63 split-window."
Not just any '63, but one with the fourth-gen ZR-1 suspension, steering, brake, and powertrain parts inside it. As Adams puts it, "The idea was to keep the old styling, but to incorporate all new components."
He started with a majorly messed-up midyear. "After searching for over two years for a split-window car, my friend Dave Eckert, from Eckert's Rod & Custom, called me one afternoon to tell me of a totaled '63 in Pendleton, Oregon, that was for sale," Adams recalls. When he called to check on it, he found it was already sold-but not for long.
"To our surprise, when the new owner arrived to pick it up, he decided it was too much of a project for him, since it had been in a fire that had burned part of the firewall, dash, and roof," says Adams. Before long, the car was his-and on its way to Eckert's shop.
What needed help the most was the body, especially the engine bay, dash, roof, and driver's door areas, where the fire had done its worst. (See how it was brought back from the dead, as well as other project photos, at www.eckertsrodandcustom.com.) As for the ZR-1 parts that would go on, the chassis hardware came from a totaled ZR-1 Adams located in Portland.

FORT WALTON BEACH — Most children grow up attending family reunions with grandparents, aunts and uncles. Mark Fitzhugh considered the Doolittle Raiders reunions his family get-togethers.
Fitzhugh's father, Bill "Foggy" Fitzhugh, was the co-pilot of the second B-25 bomber that took off from the USS Hornet on April 18, 1942, in the famous Doolittle Raid, America's first strike against Japan following Pearl Harbor. The Raiders trained for their mission at what was then Eglin Field.
Mark Fitzhugh started going to Doolittle Raider reunions when he was about 7 years old, and traveled with his parents to South Carolina, California, Texas and Nebraska for the events. As fate would have it, three years ago Fitzhugh accepted the rector's post at Saint Simon's on the Sound Episcopal Church in Fort Walton Beach, the home of the 71st and final Doolittle Raiders reunion.
View a gallery of Dolittle photos. >>
"There are many clichés you can throw out and bat around today, but for me the one that's most obvious is 'Life has so many twists and turns, you just never know where things are going to wind up,' " Fitzhugh said. "Over 70 years ago my dad, probably in his late teens, was right here training with a bunch of guys to go on some mission they had no earthly idea where it was all going. And who would believe that 70-odd years later here, his youngest son would wind up a priest at a church in the hometown where it all started off.
"It's just amazing to me … to be back here," Fitzhugh said.
The 71st Doolittle Raiders Anniversary Reunion is scheduled for Wednesday through Saturday at the C.H. "Bull" Rigdon Fairgrounds and Recreation Complex.
Fitzhugh will give the invocation Wednesday morning when Northwest Florida State College opens its Doolittle Raiders exhibit. He also has been invited to represent his father's bomber at a lunch for the Raiders on Friday and at a banquet Saturday.
In the early days, the Doolittle reunions were much smaller events that were attended by just the Raiders and their families.
"As a little guy, it was just like a family reunion for me," Fitzhugh said. "Gen. Doolittle and his wife (Josephine) 'Mama Jo' were just like the grandparents to me that I didn't have. I had no idea these were heroes and part of American history that will go down as this defining moment. It was just something we did every year.
"Gen. Doolittle was very much a very private man. He didn't say a whole lot and his whole vision for the reunion was a family event, just to get together, have a few drinks, talk, tell a few stories," Fitzhugh said.
Fitzhugh was a teenager when his father died in 1981. His mother was a widow for many years before she remarried Robert Hite, another Doolittle Raider.
Following the bombing mission, all the Raiders' aircraft were lost after they had to take off early because they were spotted by a Japanese boat. While Fitzhugh's father and his crew were rescued by a young Chinese student named Tung Sheng Liu, his future stepfather was captured and spent 36 months in solitary confinement at a Japanese prison camp.
Hite is one of the four Raiders still alive, but Fitzhugh said he will not make the final reunion because of his health. Fitzhugh said his mother, who passed away about a year ago, would have enjoyed attending.
"I wish my mom could have held on just a little bit more because she lived and breathed the Doolittle Raiders," Fitzhugh. "It was really her life."
Although this will be the final reunion for the Raiders, Fitzhugh is happy knowing their heroism will not be forgotten.
"I'm really happy that the story continues, and now there's a new generation that can see the wonderful exhibit at the college," he said.

Put your pride aside and vote for who will make you life better-- Obama!
I ain't voting for that slick-talking Muslim just cause he gonna get us out of Iraq, improve our economy and schools and make almost everybodys lives easier!

Air wing back from war
Miramar general talks Afghan hand-off, accountability after Bastion attack
Marine aviators, support troops and aircraft headed home at the twilight of the 11-year war. A fledgling regional fleet of Afghan helicopter pilots took flight. And on Sept. 14, insurgents infiltrated the main base, attacked the flight line, killed two Marines — both from the air wing headquartered in San Diego — and set a squadron of AV-8B Harrier jets ablaze.
Maj. Gen. Gregg Sturdevant and his staff from Marine Corps Air Station Miramar experienced those developments during their yearlong tour in command of air combat in southwestern Afghanistan. The 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward) returned to San Diego last month.
Sturdevant, 55, assistant wing commander at Miramar, is expected to transfer this summer to the Joint Staff. So is Maj. Gen. Charles "Mark" Gurganus, the Camp Pendleton Marine who oversaw all U.S. and international forces for NATO's southwestern regional command.
Before beginning his post-deployment leave, Sturdevant spoke with U-T San Diego about expanding the Afghan air force, the U.S. drawdown in Afghanistan and accountability for the most costly base attack of the war. Here are excerpts from that conversation:
Q: Over the year you lost about 40 percent of your air combat personnel, including a squadron of heavy lift helicopters. How did the drawdown affect operations?
A: Our Marine Wing Support Squadron, they build expeditionary airfields. All that stuff that went in had to come out. They took the runways apart. We moved almost 5.3 million square feet of (runway) matting while we were there. It got washed, packaged and sent back to the states. That's a big deal for the Marine Corps, particularly when we're talking about sequestration and everything else. We are going to have to make do with the equipment we have today for at least the next 10 years.
Q: How did the shift in the summer and fall from counterinsurgency to primarily assisting Afghan security forces affect air combat?
A: It might have been spread out a bit more and we weren't doing as many large lifts (of personnel assaulting remote areas). But it didn't change a lot. It was about moving people around the battlefield, doing resupply, medevac escort.
Q: As Afghan national forces took the lead, did they increasingly fill medevac flights?
A: That's right. That's one of the challenges the Afghans face. What happens after we leave? The Afghan air force is growing in capability. It's slow growth, but they are making progress. They have been flying missions with us (in the southwest) since late September. They fly out of Kandahar but come over to Camp Bastion with about a dozen (Mi-17 helicopters).
(They) need to focus on two areas with the Mi-17s, resupply and medevac. They've got some medics that are highly trained that you could put in the back of the Mi-17s. They are not where we are at with strip alert (rapid response) type stuff. They will grow into that eventually.
At Bastion in the coming year or so, we are going to make the aviation integration easier. We are going to give them spaces for parking, refueling and planning.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by jana sue LOVE LOVE LOVE! i have wanted this cardigan ever since it appeared on the website, and i am SO GRATEFUL i managed to snag one on sale! the colors are just gorgeous! the sleeves are long, which i just love. totally bohemian, laid-back chic. i'll be wearing this gorgeous sweater until it wears out to a little rag ;) 3.25.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by GypsyChic Gorgeous! I have been watching this cardigan since it showed up on the website. I finally decided to take the plunge and I am glad I did. This is a perfect spring cardigan, light in weight and nice for cool spring mornings. Love the longer length and the sleeves are flared at the wrist - so pretty. The colors are darker in person than the pictures shown on the website. It's a darker coral/salmon color with shades of purple. It's definitely not as bright as in the pictures. I bought a medium. I am 5' 6'' and 130 lbs. Fits perfect! Love, love, love. 2.7.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by lisa2dog love love love I hesitated to buy this because of the price (good gawd over $200?!) but it is so pretty and versatile that I'm a sure I'll get my money's worth. While I thought the dominant color would be more of a peachy tone, there is actually a lot of plum in the sweater. I think that this sweater can be dressed up and look better than it does in the "Dress down" very casual photo that FP shows.The weave is loose so be careful if you wear charm bracelets like I do as they will snag the sleeves. It's much prettier in person than in the photo. Is it worth it...? I think so. 2.1.2013

The nicest thing I can say about it is if it was trying to be satire it failed miserably, and they really REALLY need to say it is satire.
If they wanted people to be persuaded to their point of view they should have focused on ridiculing what they think is wrong with the GOP, not create some over the top cartoonish reality that makes them look so Looney Tunes that the only choice is to vote for the adults in this election cycle...and if it ain't them its going to be, rightly or wrongly, the GOP by default.Add a comment

From the Daily Mail...my "editorial" comments are in yellow...
Green-minded campaigner Al Gore has been left red-faced after being accused of leaving his car running for almost an hour while he gave a lecture on sustainable development because this environazi power-pimp has to take steps to make sure the "problem" never actually goes away..
It is alleged that Gore made the gaffe while he spoke at the School of Business, Economics and Law in Gothenburg, Sweden on Wednesday. Are they sure it wasn't clown school?
His mistake was compounded further by the fact that he had asked his distinguished guests to attend the event by public transport in order to minimize CO2 emissions. It would've cramped his carbon footprint
Swedish law prohibits – for environmental reasons - any car engine being left running without its driver for more than 60 seconds.
Read the entire article at The Daily Mail
There should be no further discussion on discussing whether or not we should even discuss "global warming" until there is a law that prohibits Al Gore from speaking for more than 60 seconds for A LOT more than just environmental reasons.
If there is any doubt to liberals that Gore has..
...much credibility left, then I just don't know what to do to get them to figure out their eco-pope is a fraud.Add a comment
Watch this video and prepare for some really salty language. This guy really boils my blood and I'm going to unload it here.
Bill Maher is an asshole. I don't mean asshole like he's the guy who is 20 years too old for the nightclub and hitting on girls who could be his daughter, or the old lady at the grocery store causing a line to form as she takes time to write her check on the debit card reader.
I mean this guy is so bad his mouth competes with his anus....I mean this guy's saliva is made of feces.
Vomit is not in his vocabulary of things his mouth does, but diarrhea is.
Given the hand Obama was dealt he gets an A?!? The man was dealt the royal f*#(king flush of politics, and he screwed up so bad its almost as if played it like he was Bill Maher.
The greatest example of how truly stupid this man is came about 7 years ago, when he was criticizing what he thought was the contrived diversity of the 2000 Republican National Convention. Then he cracked a joke about how the last time the Republicans had so many black people join them on stage they were selling them..........
..........That's right, the political party that freed the slaves sold them. At that moment I was CONVINCED that at some point, somehow, Maher's brain fell out of his head.....
As you can imagine the joke was met with huge laughter by the liberal audience, which highlights how the haves and have-nots in America are not divided between rich and poor unless its in terms of intelligence.
He and Meghan McCain must have mental jam sessions where they where they combine the number of dumb things that come out of their heads and see if under any scenario it can equal less than infinity.
Maher had the potential to be among the great political humorists of our time, but he is ruled too much by the hate created by the religiosity of his liberal arrogance, which produces nothing but historically ignorant laughter that masks the sound of Lincoln turning over in his grave.Add a comment

I read Blog after Blog. Artical after Artical. All giving their Theory why the WWE went PG. But the truth is, the answer is right in front of are face.
Lets Get the facts on why WWE is PG
WWE became PG in mid 2008. That was the First Raw PG show for WWE.. WWEs ratings around 2005 were around high 3's and sometimes (very Rare) they hit a 4.0. They ranged around 3.7..... Ratings

Hi guys, Mr.Turtle here and I've decided to try a new blog concept which should hopefully be a weekly thing if all goes well and people want to watch/read it.
So the idea is to present two (potentially three) wrestling videos a week from the web (youtube)and well . . . go through them.
Once again, think of this as a pilot on TV, if all goes well and people like it, i'll

What's poppin folks, RatedATB back at it again with his Survivor Series 2011 Predictions. Going into this ppv, I don't think WWE did the best job of getting us here if you look back at Raw. However one good thing is the matches don't seem too bad so without further ado...
(Also this is in no way the order I expect this show to be)

Man, the blog landscape on eWN is getting thick, eh? Either way, I'm back again with another edition of STATE OF THE 'E... often imitated, NEVER duplicated! I will say though, I'd like a part of that "BlogWars" action! Great job with that!
Now, my last blog got a lot of heat, which is a good thing. It shows that everyone has an opinion on the matter. Whether you agree with
Howdy, so this is my first blog on the site and I definitely wanted to just switch things up a bit. Rather then ranting and raving about Cody Rhodes or the top 5 whatevers in wrestling. I wanted to write this for fans of Ring of Honor. 2011, an interesting year for this company, coming off what I felt was arguably the second best year in the company's history, being 2010
The purpose of this blog is to talk about why I think it's a ridiculous assumption that people think John Cena is anything like Hulk Hogan.
[B]Hulk Hogan helped make wrestling what it is today, John Cena is destroying it[/B] That's right folks. John Cena is destroying what Hulk Hogan helped create, basically he isn't helping it get better which is what Hogan did in the 80s, so
This is an optimistic blog, If youre a pessimist, Get THE F OUT
The Rock and John Cena Show
Which way are WWE going?? Who knows? Is Cena going to turn heel? Who knows? Is he oging to win clean at Mania? Who knows?
This is why I like this stroyline. The main event at Mania has had a big bleamin build up, unlike any other in light years. For those complainers
Hey guys, I am sitting here bored outta my mind so I figured what the hell, lets write another blog! This time I'm gonna talk about TNA and what they need to do to start improving further, some of the talent needs to go and some needs to be pushed.

Hey everyone,
It's been an extremely long time since I've written a blog on here. I pretty much considered myself retired, but I strongly feel as though this is a subject that is worth speaking about. With all the negativity here in the IWC, I'm actually going to talk about something that is a positive thing. And that, my friends, is the amazing talent that is now apparent in one Cody Rhodes.
Hey guys Knox here. I hope all is well, I've been absent for a while as I've been involved with the blog wars. I got my butt whooped in the more recent Tag Team addition so my hat goes off to "Wrestling Fan" for creating this and "Dr. Death" & "The Hitman" for kicking my butt lol great job guys.
Now lets talk about the WWE's attitude era return and

Lots of women freak out the first time they see lines on their faces. It only means that they are aging. Usually, these fine lines appear after 35 and as each year passes, those wrinkles also double in number. Some people even get wrinkles in an earlier age then you start to worry about your appearance or the idea that you're getting less attractive. To some this can only be remedied by getting artificial treatments but you can actually reduce or retard the appearance of wrinkles by doing simple and natural remedies and techniques.
If you have delicate skin, you may want to consult a dermatologist. With the technological advancements today, there is no doubt that you can find a solution to your wrinkle problems. For those who do not want spend a dime just to look their younger, there are also ways on how you can reduce your wrinkles. We cannot stop time to stay 23 or younger but there are ways in which you could look younger than your age.
- Limit sun exposure. The number one cause of wrinkles is prolonged exposure to the harmful rays of the sun. There are hundreds of articles that will tell you about its effects. It is even more powerful than genetics and heredity. You can have younger-looking skin when you are not exposed to the sun for long periods of time. If you really have to be out all day, wear something that will protect your face and the rest of your skin.
- Apply sunscreen. As mentioned, if you cannot prevent sun exposure, wear sunscreen with at least SPF 15 to protect your skin. Sunscreen application also reduces risks of having skin cancer and wrinkles as well.
- Stop smoking. Smoking is always a culprit no matter what the disease or condition may be. Cigarette smoking hastens aging as it breaks down elastin and collagen. These two enzymes are vital components of the skin. It makes wrinkles appear and also makes the skin thin.
- Get enough sleep. Have you noticed that if you have at least 6 hours of sleep at night, you feel vibrant and healthy? If you lack sleep, the body makes more cortisol than the body needs. The excess cortisol then destroys skin cells. Having adequate sleep will help in making your skin more elastic and thick thus reducing wrinkles.
- Stop squinting. If you must read, get glasses. The lesser your facial movements are, the younger you look. Squinting stresses your facial muscles so it then forms into wrinkles.
- Know your sleeping position. Doctors would recommend that you sleep on your back. If you do, there will be lesser chances of having wrinkles because you don't get what they call "sleep lines". If you sleep on your side, notice that when you wake up you will see wrinkles on your chin and cheek. Sleeping on your back can also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
So you see, you don't really have to spend a lot just to prevent wrinkles to appear. All you need to do is to remember these tips and you can avoid having them. Prevent the appearance of wrinkles so you can be comfortable in your own skin.

Just as Sea Launch, and its 95% Russian owners, suffered a massive failure in the last Zenit launch. This puts the two of the largest Russian aerospace companies at risk.
Analysis at Parabolic Arc....
NPO Energomash being pushed to the brink of insolvency is very bad. The company makes a range of engines for different launch vehicles, including the RD-180 used in United Launch Alliance's Atlas V. That rocket is crucial for U.S. national security, and for NASA's commercial crew program.
Meanwhile, Energia might already be essentially bankrupt. That company is so crucial to Russia's space efforts, especially in terms of maintaining and supplying the International Space Station. And now its being sued for more than $200 million by Boeing.
All of this information provides a new perspective on the Russian government's efforts to streamline and consolidate the nation's space effort. If Energia and Energomash can't make money under the current setup, then something is seriously wrong. The interesting question is whether consolidating the industry under the control of the government — as has been proposed — will save the industry or accelerate its decline.
Boeing sues Sea Launch partners for $350 million
* Suit targets Russian, Ukrainian partners
* Satellite launch service filed for bankruptcy in 2009
By Nate Raymond
NEW YORK, Feb 4 (Reuters) - Boeing Co has sued its Russian and Ukrainian partners in satellite launch service Sea Launch, saying they refused to pay it more than $350 million following the joint-venture's bankruptcy filing in 2009.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles on Friday, targeted RSC Energia, a company partially owned by the Russian government, and two Ukrainian state-owned companies, PO Yuzhnoye Mashinostroitelny Zavod and KB Yuzhnoye.
Boeing said it partnered with the companies, as well as Norway's Kvaerner Moss Technology, in 1995 to create Sea Launch, which focuses on launching commercial satellites into space.
The U.S. aerospace company said it provided substantial funding for the venture, and the partners agreed that, if it failed, they would reimburse Boeing their share of the funding.
Sea Launch sent its first satellite into space in 1999, but filed for bankruptcy in 2009 because of weaker demand, mounting debt and a failed launch that led to a $53.2 million arbitration award against the company, Boeing said in its complaint.
Sea Launch emerged from bankruptcy in 2010. As part of the plan of reorganization, a subsidiary of RSC Energia increased its ownership to 95 percent from 25 percent, the lawsuit said. Boeing and Kvaerner, now called Aker Maritime Finance AS, split the remaining 5 percent.
In its complaint, Boeing said RSC Energia, also called S.P. Koroley Rocket and Space Corporation Energia, tried to avoid liability to Boeing and Aker.
When Sea Launch filed for bankruptcy, the banks that financed the company made calls on loan guarantees, forcing Boeing to pay out $449 million.
Boeing said RSC Energia and the Ukrainian companies are required to pay their share of that sum. It initially pursued reimbursement through an arbitration filed in 2009 with the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, but in 2010 the arbitrator said it lacked jurisdiction. The case is now before the Swedish Court of Appeal.
Boeing said in its new lawsuit that RSC Energia owed at least $222.3 million and the Yuzhnoye companies owed at least $133.4 million.
Boeing said in its most recent quarterly report in October that, in the event it cannot recover the money, it will incur pre-tax charges of up to $356 million.
John Dern, a spokesman for Boeing, declined to comment. A spokesman for Sea Launch also did not respond to a request for a comment. A spokeswoman for the Yuzhnoye companies declined to comment on Monday and representatives for RSC Energia were not available for a comment.
The case is The Boeing Company v. KB Yuzhnoye, et al., U.S. District Court, Central District of California, 13-00730.
