EUGENE, Ore.— The University of Oregon defeated the Houston Baptist Huskies 91-50 Saturday at Matthew Knight Arena. The Ducks move to 10-2 on the season while the Huskies fall to 4-7.
Senior Tony Woods led Oregon in scoring with 14 followed by senior E.J. Singler with 13. Senior Carlos Emory and freshman Damyean Dotson contributed 10 points each. Redshirt freshman Austin Kuemper scored a career-high nine points, while junior Waverly Austin added eight of his own and led the team with nine rebounds. Freshman Ben Carter recorded eight points and eight rebounds as well.
The Ducks dominated down low, leading the Huskies 42 to 20 in points in the paint, while also holding the advantage in points off turnovers (20 to 3), fast break points (14 to 6) and bench points (46 to 18).
Defensively, Oregon held HBU to 50 points, recording 11 steals thanks to a full-court press defense that left the Huskies scrambling.
E.J. Singler started the game off with a 3-pointer from the top of the key. Fellow senior Arsalan Kazemi followed that up with a layup off of an assist from Singler. Kazemi proceeded to take a charge on Houston Baptist's subsequent possession and then fed Singler under the basket for a reverse layup to put Oregon up 7-0.
The Ducks continued their pace behind senior Tony Woods and freshman Damyean Dotson, extending their lead to 34-12 before back-to-back three pointers from Singler put Oregon up 40-12. Oregon, who never trailed in the game, ended the first half with a 51-30 lead.
Oregon started the second half with an 11-0 run and built the lead to as many as 41 with 26 seconds to play. The Ducks made 48.5 percent of their field goal attempts (33-of-68) while holding the Huskies to 26.1 percent (18-of-69). They also outshot HBU 56.3 percent (9-of-16) to 40 percent (6-of-15) from beyond the arc.
The Ducks return to the court on New Year's Eve at 4 p.m. against Nevada at Matthew Knight Arena.
- The Ducks are now 9-0 at Matthew Knight Arena; the perfect start at home is the best since the 2006-07 team also started the year 9-0 in Eugene.
• Arsalan Kazemi's rebound at the 17-minute mark in the first half was his second of the game and 100th of the season.
• Kazemi set a season-high in assists (5).
• Senior Tony Woods picked up his first steal of the season midway through the first half.
• E.J. Singler has now started the last 90 games for Oregon.
• Singler buried a three with 6:11 left in the first half to give him 13 points for the game and move him past A.D. Smith for 19th all-time on Oregon's career scoring list. Singler now has 1,236 points in his career with the Ducks.
• The Ducks scored at least 50 points in the first half for the fourth time this season.
• With the win, Oregon moves to a perfect 3-0 when wearing yellow uniforms.
• Damyean Dotson posted a season and career-high eight rebounds

There's no single best approach to uterine fibroid treatment — many treatment options exist. If you have symptoms, talk with your doctor about options for symptom relief.
Many women with uterine fibroids experience no signs or symptoms, or only mildly annoying signs and symptoms that they can live with. If that's the case for you, watchful waiting could be the best option. Fibroids aren't cancerous. They rarely interfere with pregnancy. They usually grow slowly — or not at all — and tend to shrink after menopause, when levels of reproductive hormones drop.
Medications for uterine fibroids target hormones that regulate your menstrual cycle, treating symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pressure. They don't eliminate fibroids, but may shrink them. Medications include:
MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery (FUS) is:
Certain procedures can destroy uterine fibroids without actually removing them through surgery. They include:
Options for traditional surgical procedures include:
For all procedures, except hysterectomy, tiny tumors (seedlings) that your doctor doesn't detect during surgery could eventually grow and cause symptoms that warrant treatment. This is often termed the recurrence rate. New fibroids, which may or may not require treatment, also can develop.

With the start of the 2013-14 NBA regular season roughly a week away, nine former Arizona standouts are currently representing UA on league rosters.
Andre Iguodala signed a four-year, $48 million deal with Golden State Warriors this summer after averaging 13.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game with the Denver Nuggets in 2012-13. The 2012 Olympic gold medal winner was a 2012 NBA All-Star and was a second-team NBA All-Defensive selection in 2011. He owns averages of 15.1 points, 5.8 rebounds and 4.9 assists per game in nine NBA seasons.
Part of a massive overhaul in Brooklyn, Jason Terry is in his first season with the Nets after a trade sent him to the franchise along with fellow former Celtics Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce. Terry, who won the 2011 NBA championship as a member of the Dallas Mavericks, averaged 10.1 points and shot 37.1 percent from long distance last season for Boston, and is a career 37.9 percent shooter from three-point range. He is entering his 15th NBA season with averages of 15.7 points and 4.5 assists per game.
Channing Frye is back with the Phoenix Suns after a heart condition kept him off the court in 2012-13, and is set to begin his eighth season in the NBA. Frye averaged 10.5 points and 5.9 rebounds for the Suns two years ago, and heads into his fourth season in Phoenix with career averages of 9.7 points and 5.2 rebounds.
Jerryd Bayless is set to begin his second season with Memphis Grizzlies after helping lead the franchise to the 2013 Western Conference Finals. Bayless averaged 8.7 points and 3.3 assists per game last season, and has career averages of 8.3 points and 2.9 assists in five seasons in the league.
Entering their second season as teammates in Minnesota, Chase Budinger and Derrick Williams will look to lead the Timberwolves to the playoffs for the first time since 2004. Budinger, who signed a three-year deal for $16 million this summer, has averaged 9.4 points and 3.4 rebounds per game in his four-year NBA career. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, Williams averaged 12.0 points and 5.5 rebounds per game last season in his first year as a regular starter.
Part of the sign-and-trade deal that sent Iguodala to Golden State, Richard Jefferson is in his first season with the Utah Jazz and his 13th year in the league. He owns career averages of 15.0 points and 4.7 rebounds for four different franchises since being drafted 13th overall in 2001.
Jordan Hill will open his second full season with the Lakers next week after averaging career highs of 6.7 points and 5.7 rebounds in 2012-13. The eighth overall pick in the 2009 NBA Draft, Hill has career averages of 5.6 points and 4.5 rebounds in four seasons in the league.
The newest addition to Arizona's NBA lineage, Solomon Hill has played in all six of the Indiana Pacers' preseason games with averages of 2.0 points and 1.8 rebounds. The Los Angeles native was the 23rd overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft.
Recently, ESPN ranked Arizona sixth among all college programs in terms of producing top NBA talent over the last two-plus decades.
UA players have been far from content by just hearing their names called on draft night, however. As has been reported by various media outlets, the fraternity of Arizona's NBA players is nearing the collective $1 billion mark in career earnings, with the total haul set to exceed $960 million in the upcoming season.
Collectively, the Wildcat players who have been drafted since 1988 are an accomplished group, having won 13 NBA championships and made six All-Star appearances. The group also boasts a Rookie of the Year (Damon Stoudamire), a Sixth Man of the Year (Jason Terry) and a Most Improved Player (Gilbert Arenas).For the latest updates on Arizona men's basketball and an inside look at the program, follow @APlayersProgram on Twitter.

Haim Ziskin Brat
Translation by Rachel Zetland
Donated by Jay Snider
It was the second Sunday of the month of Elul. The word reached town that something was about to happen, they didn't know exactly what. They believed there would be a counting of the Jews and they said that they were enlisting Ukrainian goyim from the area with carts. Another rumor said the Germans gave an instruction to collect tools. We were very sensitive to these kinds of rumors because a lot of towns in the area had already been liquidated. We learned this from the stories of the survivors who reached us. Only a few managed to run away and find refuge in Rafalovka. Despite severe restrictions by the authorities and the crowded conditions, the refugees hid among the local Jews. We gave them a place to sleep, clothes and even some food of the little we had. We believed our day was far away, and that perhaps somehow we would survive, if we could only stay alive.
But Sunday brought bad news. The town's people waited for the worst. Every family planned how to act when the liquidation order would arrive. We thought about what would we do? Where would we run? Maybe to some goy? Maybe to another town that was still in tact? Or maybe to the forest? That Monday went by and more rumors came On Tuesday morning Ukrainian police forces started to circle the town and it became clear that it would soon be impossible to run to the forest. I was 13 years old and my cousin Meir was the same age. We were told to run barefoot to the forest near Smolerna, the tar factory where a group of Jews were doing forced labor. It must be said that thanks to forced labor the Jews were able to keep in touch with the goyim and smuggle food into the ghetto, something that was vital to us all. These labor groups managed to sustain many families and were able to distribute what they had collected outside the ghetto to most of the town's people.
My father was part of a group that worked in a factory removing roots. We were sent to tell them what was going on and to urge them to leave the area immediately lest the police bring them back to town. We found them and told them what was happening. They immediately began discussing what to do. They decided that the group should disperse and that us children should go back to town and tell our family and the families of the other people in the group to escape to the forest.
We were to meet in the forest, about three kilometers away from where they were working. We approached the town and as we were about to leave the forest we ran into two goyim who recognized us and knew what was going on in the town. They began begging us, Kids, don't go in there because you won't be able to come out. If you want to stay alive run into the forest! Maybe a kind person will take you in you and you'll manage to stay alive. We left them and came closer to the town. We saw the policemen surrounding the town and decided not to go there. We decided to go back to the meeting point in the forest.
[Page 94]
We brought the news and the whole group dispersed in every direction. We all went in different directions hoping the rest of our families would succeed in escaping, and with the help of the goyim we would meet up and hide and live in the forests. In the evening the three of us, my father, my cousin Meir and I reached the house of a goy, an acquaintance from the village of Sukhovolya. We persuaded him to go to town and convey a message to the family, or maybe even bring them dressed as peasants. This goy was an old friend of my father. He took his cart and horses but came back with the calamitous news: they are about to exterminate the town, which was surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of policemen, and a big escape was underway. Many were managing to escape with the help of goyim. My mother, of blessed memory, wrote: 'Stay away and as far as you can. During the coming nights we are hoping to escape to the towns of Oziritz and Sarhov[1], 50-60 kilometers away from Rafalovka, and we will get to you. Don't wait for us here, leave the area quickly.'
That same night we started walking. My father knew the area well. We used difficult paths because we were terrified The goy helped us and gave us clothes and food and wished us luck staying alive. This is when our wanderings began. Father was used to walking but we barely dragged behind. After about 20 kilometers our feet swelled but the will to live was so strong that we continued, though slowly. We reached the town of Oziritz only a day or two later. We met a goy there and he let us into his stable and gave us shelter. We immediately asked him to go to the town and bring us some news. He was also a friend of father and he responded to our urgent request. He took his horses and departed. He returned with the following news: my two elder sisters, Miriam and Pnina, somehow managed to get out and are here in the area. But my mother and our older sister Rachel were slaughtered with the town's people. The dayan[2] Nudel, tzadik[3] of blessed memory, went first.
He brought all this information from our friend in Sukhovolya. We heard the terrible stories of the mass killing that had taken place on shabbat in three or four pits in the forest near Sukhovolya. The Ukrainian policemen carried out most of this work. The only part the Nazis took care of was the shooting near the pits themselves. No need to say this horrendous account terrified us and greatly multiplied our fear. We began hesitating and weighing the situation, is it of any use to run away? Where will we be? Where will we hide? How can we live? And again, the will to live was so great we had to overcome all of this and survive. We started looking for our sisters and found them at goyim in the area. They were hiding separately, dressed in Ukrainian clothes, real shikses.
We cried and mourned together for what we had heard had happened to our town. But this lasted only a few hours. Our will to survive compelled us to discuss how we could get by in this situation. We were terrified of being recognized, identified. My father, who had let his famous beard grow for many years, cut it short and wore Ukrainian clothes. In that way father came to look like one of the local peasants.
[Page 95]
We made a wise decision: each of us should somehow stay in the house of a goy in Hotor159, an isolated house with no people or neighbors around. This way maybe we had a chance of surviving. It wasn't easy. How do you find these goyim? The sisters stayed with the same goyim on the condition they would move around from time to time to another goy with the help of local goyim. They were to work for the goyim, anything, the most important thing was that they would keep them. We decided to set out and look for good goyim who would agree to take us in. We were successful. Each of us stayed at the home of a different goy. We worked with them in all their labors and somehow managed to survive. In the meantime a miracle happened and the area became an area of Russian and Jewish partisans. The area became a freer place for us, it became safer, and we felt there was some protection, especially with Jews bearing arms. Naturally, the goyim who gave us shelter also became more confident. We were able to live in this way for twenty-two months until the liberation of these territories by the Red Army. A new reality faced us - going home! Where??? To what kind of a house, one that is completely destroyed to the big graves??? And indeed we returned!

Harvard Scores Two Late Goals To Rally Past Men's Soccer In Cambridge
A pair of second-half goals by the Harvard Crimson gave the host squad a 2-1 comeback win over Princeton Saturday afternoon in Cambridge. The loss is Princeton's first in the Ivy League, and the Tigers will try to stay among the top teams in the league when they host Cornell next Saturday at 4 pm.
Princeton (5-7-1, 2-1-1 Ivy) grabbed a 1-0 lead less than 10 minutes into the game when Cameron Porter connected on a penalty kick for his fifth goal of the season. The Tigers held that lead for more than 60 minutes, but the Crimson evened the score when Philip Fleischman headed in his second goal of the season off a pass from Ross Friedman.
The game stayed even until there were close to seven minutes remaining, when Harvard took advantage of a rebound to score the game winner. Matt Sheeleigh took a shot, and Daniel Smith was there for the rebound and his first goal of the season. The Crimson held on for the final seven minutes to secure their third victory in Ivy League play.
Princeton goalkeeper Steh MacMillan had two saves for the Tigers, who were outshot 11-6 in the game. Harvard had a 6-1 edge in corner kicks, including a 4-0 advantage in the second half.

The home invasion occurred in the 700 block of Millchop Lane in the Woodside East community, west of Magnolia, about 10:30 p.m., said Delaware State Police Sgt. Paul Shavack.
The victims – a 41-year-old man, a 20-year-old woman and a 16-year-old girl – told police one of the women answered a knock at the door and was confronted by one of the masked men who forced his way inside, Shavack said.
The additional masked men followed the first inside, where the gunmen confronted the victims, he said.
The three men reportedly made no demands and did not remove any property or money before fleeing the area on foot.

Discover More Ideas You'll Need
Rated 5 out of 5 by 1 reviewer.
Rated 5 out of 5 by smonk Fantastic Pasta I bought these noodles while on an trip to the exotic city of Cleveland. While killing some time (I don't mean killing in a violent way it's kind of a euphemism for wasting time) we went to World Market. We used to have one in our city but the left and my wife weeped. I was kind of happy they left because she bought a bunch of stuff there but a bit sad because I dig the food section and some of the bowls... I know bowls are a weird thing to dig, right? Anyway I saw the noodles and got them because my kid is a fan of creatures of the underwater variety. He also likes the on land variety but is especially fond of the water kind. Also I thought it would be a good bonding opportunity for both of us. You see I'm a vegetarian and he's not... He's only two so there is hope for later. So when he's chomping down on some meat and shoving it in my face he doen't understand why I won't eat it. With these noodles he fills three of his loves... He gets to see sea life, he gets to chomp on animals and he gets to share food with me. The noodles themselves (themself maybe... I know noodles are plural but I'm using them as a singular entity... Although my spell check is saying themself is not a word) are pretty good. I would have thought otherwise. I thought they'd be a globby mess that just mushes after a minute of cooking. You can actual get a nice al dente cook from them. Remember life before "al dente"? I had some friends that used to cook noodles like that and preferred them but I always asked my mom for undercooked noodles. It's kind of like "barista". Back in the day I worked at a coffee house... But no one called me a barista. I was just a dude who worked in a coffee house. Now they're all baristas and they just push a button. Ridiculous. Bottom line is I really like the way Canadians say "pasta". The first 'a' has an ah sound like the 'a' in hat. Love it. April 3, 2012

Has anyone told you to develop a plan before going job hunting? It is actually one of the best pieces of job interview advice anyone can give you. Taking on the challenge of job hunting without a plan can be extremely detrimental. As a matter of fact, it can be a significant time waster and can lead to missed opportunities and competing job seekers passing you by you. If you re going to find a job you need to have some sort o...

Many people think putting a jacket on a dog is silly and not necessary. After all, they say, dog's have their own built-in fur coats and they never used to wear jackets until recently. On the contrary, nothing could be further than the truth. Dogs do need jackets and for many different reasons.
Dogs throughout history have been kept warm with blankets and jackets by their caring Guardians when it gets cold. A dog's skin is much thinner than humans and they feel the effects of heat and cold much more. Even large dogs with thick coats, if exposed to cold for longer periods can benefit from wearing clothing, especially if they are older with aching bones. Active dogs in winter should be warmed up prior to and after outdoor exercise by throwing on a jacket or sweater to keep muscles loose and help prevent injury.
Small dogs get colder more rapidly than larger dogs, especially those with thin coats. Jackets are an essential piece of clothing even during mild or cool weather, and very necessary during cold winter months. Clothing, including shirts and sweaters on dogs also can help to calm them. It's known as the Tellington Touch principle where being draped in clothing provides a security blanket effect and they feel protected.
Finding the right jacket for your dog can be a challenging task. Similar to human clothing, sizes are determined by measurements and not body weight. Measuring your dog accurately is not easy and sizes vary between all different manufacturers, so not all size "small" are the same. It's best to measure your dog as instructed in our online video "How to Measure Your Dog" and write down the results. Keep in mind that clothing does vary and published measurements may vary from the actual piece. To help consumers with this challenge GW Little has adopted a free exchange program where you don't pay any shipping to move into a different size.

Annual Reports to Parliament on the Administration of the Export and Import Controls Permits Act
These are the Reports of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, respecting operations under the Export and Import Permits Act for the years 2009 and 2010.
The Act provides that the Governor in Council may establish lists known as the Import Control List (ICL), the Export Control List (ECL) and the Area Control List (ACL). For each one of these lists, the Act sets out criteria that govern the inclusion of goods or countries on the respective lists and provides that the Governor in Council may revoke, amend, vary or re-establish any of the lists. Control over the flow of goods contained on these lists or to specific destinations is effected through the issuance of import or export permits.
Reports on Exports of Military Goods from Canada
As part of Canada's effort to encourage greater transparency on military exports, DFATD has published periodic reports on annual exports of military goods and technology since 1990.
The statistics on military exports in the following reports were obtained from quarterly military reports conditions filed by exporters on the actual shipments for each of the permits issued to them under the Export and Import Permits Act. These reports include the country of destination and a description of the goods and their value.
Since permits are not required for the export of most Group 2 items to the United States, the reports do not include statistics on military exports to the United States.
Statistics relating to the export of military goods and technology, including conventional arms and ammunition, can be found in the "Report on Exports of Military Goods from Canada" published by the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development. These statistics are based on the export of military goods and technology as identified in the Munitions List (Group 2) of Canada's Export Control List, which reflect commitments made in the multilateral Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies and commitments made in the Organization of American States, as well as certain additional unilateral controls implemented by Canada. Canada's export control regime, including the Export Control List, is established and administered under the authority of Canada's Export and Import Permits Act.
Other statistics regarding the export of arms and ammunitions can be found on other government sites such as Industry Canada's "Trade Data On-Line" and Statistic Canada's "Canadian Industrial Merchandise Trade Database". This data is compiled based on categories of items negotiated at the World Customs Organization for the purpose of applying global customs tariff codes. The "Arms and Ammunitions" category of items negotiated via the World Customs Organization does not, in many cases, reflect what many countries would consider conventional arms and ammunition. (For example, goods such as flare guns used in oil and gas drilling, ammunition to frighten birds at airports, etc. may be listed under the "Arms and Ammunition" coding). The Canadian Commercial Corporation also generates their own export data based on contracts between Canadian suppliers and military end-users. Again, these statistics may include items which are not strictly military in nature, such as storage containers.

Whether an affiliated or consortial organization may apply for a challenge grant, independent of its parent or member organizations, depends on three criteria for assessing the autonomy of the applicant. An affiliate is eligible to apply separately if it meets the following criteria:
- both the fund-raising activities and program or programs which stand to benefit are governed by an independent board of trustees or advisors;
- the applying unit is financially independent from the host institution; and
- the applicant has an administration and programs independent of the host institution.
Precedents: an institution that was in the past denied independent status may re-petition for such status if its governance has changed. An institution that was in the past accepted as an independent applicant need not be re-assessed if it wishes to apply for a challenge grant.
University presses and university media stations are deemed to have independent status by definition.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will unveil its latest exhibit, Just Can't Get Enough: The Photography of Robert Alford, on Wednesday, September 19, in the Museum's Patty, Jay and Kizzie Baker Gallery. The exhibit features images by Robert Alford and offers a snapshot into the world of some of the most influential and successful artists from the last three decades of rock and roll.
Related event: An Evening with Robert Alford on September 19 at 7 p.m.
A leading music photographer, Robert Alford has had his work featured in Creem, Rolling Stone and People magazines and on television, album covers and liner notes. The extensive list of musicians he has photographed reads like a "who's who" of popular music, from AC/DC to ZZ Top.
Alford, born in Denver, Colorado, in 1954, was raised in suburban Detroit, where he lives and works today. He received his first camera at age seven, and by his early teens, Alford was photographing cars and drag races at a local drag strip. It was a Sly and the Family Stone concert in 1970 that Alford shot that transformed him from photographer to rock photographer. By 1974, he was contributing to Creem magazine and soon became the publication's sole staff photographer. Through his assignments at Creem, Alford developed close and lasting relationships with many artists, including Cheap Trick, John Mellencamp and ZZ Top. He art directed several videos and albums for ZZ Top and shot album cover photos for the band, as well. Alford continued to contribute to Creem until it stopped publishing in the Nineties. His photos have appeared in numerous books, including Rock Style by Tommy Hilfiger, Whole Lotta Led Zeppelin by Jon Bream, AC/DC: High Voltage Rock and Roll by Phil Sutcliffe and Star Guitars by Dave Hunter and Billy Gibbons. Alford has worked with more than 500 artists and performers and currently operates rockphotoarchive.com. He continues to work and live in the Detroit area.
Highlights from the exhibit include:
· Ben Orr of the Cars, 1978
The first of many Cars concerts that Alford shot, this photo was taken on the band's first national tour after the release of its debut album.
· The B-52's, 1980
Taken in the dressing room at Harpo's in Detroit, a club known more for hard rock and heavy metal than new music, this image became a favorite of the B-52's.
· Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, 1981
Alford first met ZZ Top in 1974, when the band opened for T. Rex at the Michigan Concert Palace in Detroit and built a close friendship soon thereafter, even traveling with the band on tour and around the world. This particular image is a shot of Billy Gibbons in front of a horse-drawn Ford Model A wagon in Mexico.
· The Clash, 1982
While showing the Clash around Detroit, Alford and the band ended up at the Motown Museum, which, at that time, was only open one day a week. Inspired by the sounds of Motown, the band took a private tour of the facility.
· The Police, 1983
The photo Alford took of the Police in 1983 came about after he and Andy Summers spent the day at Classic Camera, a shop on the East Side of Detroit. Summers bought an Italian-made camera from the 1960s shaped like a banana. At the shoot with the entire band later in the day, Summers left the camera around his neck for the photograph.
Alford photographed the band after receiving custom hair styles from a salon in Ann Arbor called Cutting Edge.
· The Go-Go's, 1984
Always fun to work with thanks to their outgoing rock and roll attitude, Alford enjoyed working with the Go-Go's frequently.
· Iggy Pop, 1992
The photo of Iggy Pop was taken from a session for the re-launch of Creem magazine. Shot backstage at the State Theatre in Detroit at the time vinyl was being replaced by CDs, the shoot was particularly nostalgic. It was also an homage to a photo session that Andy Kent did with Iggy Pop in the early Seventies that Alford always admired.
· Billy Idol, 1984
Shot during his second session with Billy Idol, this shot includes a background made of three layers of slashed paper and Mylar to create a layered backdrop effect – one of the first times Alford used a handmade backdrop in a photograph.
· Prince, 1993
Prince preferred being photographed while onstage, where Alford considers him to be a "genius" during his performances.
This exhibit will be open through May 2013.

Bay County has super-sized itself into a problem. Now, the county Health Department is getting ready to crack down on expanding waistlines.
With more than 50 percent of people in Bay County overweight or obese, this becomes a growing health issue that can lead to even more health problems. That's why Rick Davis with the Health Department is organizing a volunteer obesity task force.
"Fifty seven percent of Floridians are overweight and it's costing Florida almost $4 billion a year in lost productivity and healthcare cost."
Weighing in on the obesity problem now is important because so many don't realize the side effects. Julia Ruschmann with the Health Department says the list of diseases related to obesity is not short.
"They don't see the effects immediately. They think, oh it doesn't bother me. I can have those super-size meals and those all you can eat buffets with three or four desserts, it's not affecting me."
Unfortunately, Ruschmann says before the waistline expands serious health problems can attack the body.
"I think that may be why we're seeing an increase in the disease such as diabetes."
Davis says this is just the beginning of a problem that could be controlled.
"The Centers for Disease Control estimates that very soon obesity and weight will overcome tobacco as the leading cause of preventable disease and death."
Obesity does not depend on age. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control actually estimates that this generation of children will have a shorter life expectancy than their parents.
The volunteer obesity task force met for the first time Wednesday afternoon. For more information about upcoming meetings and to get involved call the Bay County Health Department at 872-4455.

Football Ready To Bounce Back, Eyes Road Opener At Georgetown
It is a common football belief that the biggest improvements are made between Week 1 and Week 2, and Princeton is hoping to show that progress when it heads to Multi-Sport Field in Washington, D.C., for its first road game at Georgetown.
The Tigers showed plenty of promise during last weekend's nationally televised 29-28 loss to the 22nd-ranked Lehigh Mountain Hawks. But they weren't able to finish the job, just as they gave up a late lead last season in a 20-19 home loss to Georgetown.
Of course, Princeton followed that Georgetown loss with a four-game win streak, and the Tigers would like nothing more than to start a new win streak Saturday afternoon.

On The Road Again
Princeton is making its first road trip of the season this Saturday, as it heads to Multi-Sport Field in Washington, D.C., to play its first ever game at Georgetown. This is the seventh game in the Princeton-Georgetown series, though the first road game for Princeton and only the second game overall since the 1923 season.
These two teams met last season, with Georgetown coming from behind with a late 33-yard field goal for a 20-19 victory.
Road Warriors
Princeton is looking for a victory in its first road game of the season since 2009, when the Tigers defeated Lehigh 17-14. Over the last two seasons, Princeton has lost its road opener by an average of fewer than four points per game.
Patriot Games
Since Bob Surace has taken over, Princeton is 2-6 against the Patriot League, with both victories coming against Lafayette. The last three losses, all coming since the 2012 season opener, have come by a grand total of five points.
Close losses have been an unfortunate trend for the Tigers over the last two seasons. Of their six losses during that stretch, four have come by three points or fewer.
High Five
Saturday's game will feature two teams looking to surprise in their respective leagues. Both Princeton and Georgetown were picked to finish fifth in their respective preseason polls.
Roman Emperor
Senior wide receiver Roman Wilson currently ranks second nationally in the FCS with 168 receiving yards per game; he trails only Lehigh's Lee Kurfis, who recorded 152 yards on the other side of the field last weekend.
Wilson, who caught a touchdown on a shovel pass last weekend, was an All-Ivy honoree last season and led the league with 17.5 yards per reception.
DiAndre The Giant
Sophomore DiAndre Atwater rushed for a career-best 111 yards and two touchdowns last weekend against Lehigh. He scored both Princeton's first (17 yds) and final (18 yds) touchdowns of the game, and he averaged 8.5 yards per carry.
Atwater, who dealt with injuries through much of last season, had his breakout game of 2012 in the home opener against Georgetown; he rushed 15 times for 92 yards, including a 53-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter.
Oh Brother
For the second straight season, DiAndre Atwater will go head-to-head against his older brother Stephen, a senior defensive back for Georgetown. Stephen Atwater had six tackles for the Hoyas last season. Both brothers are the son of eight-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion Steve Atwater, best known for his days as a Denver Bronco.
NFL Films will be doing a feature on the Atwaters, and will follow all three during Saturday's game, as well as during the week leading up to the game.
Triple Double
Last Saturday marked the first time Princeton had somebody both rush for more than 100 yards (Atwater) and gain more than 100 receiving yards (Wilson) in 15 games, dating back to the 2011 Harvard game, when Chuck Dibilio (135 rushing) and Shane Wilkinson (108 receiving) did it.
Prior to the 2011 Harvard game, it hadn't happened for the Tigers since Week 7 of the 2008 season.
Just Quinn, Baby
Over the last six games, dating back to last season, junior quarterback Quinn Epperly has accounted for 12 touchdowns (six rushing, six passing). Last weekend, Epperly rushed for a four-yard touchdown and connected with Roman Wilson on a five-yard touchdown.
Last season, Epperly completed at least one pass in nine of 10 games and rushed for positive yards in nine of 10. In both cases, the lone exception was the Georgetown game.
Passing Fancy
Junior quarterback Connor Michelsen started his second straight season opener last weekend and completed 19 of 32 passes for 210 yards. He topped that total only three times last season, and all three were during the second half of the year.
Ground Attack
After averaging 3.3 yards per rush last season, Princeton averaged 5.5 yards per rush against Lehigh. Eight players rushed at least once, and
Atwater's 111 yards ranks him 20th nationally in the FCS.
On The Mike
Junior Mike Zeuli made an impressive debut in his first start at strongside linebacker last weekend. He led all players with 18 tackles, including 11 solo stops. That topped his career high of 12 tackles, set in last season's comeback victory over Harvard.
Bye-Bye Bhaya
Senior co-captain Phillip Bhaya, making his 11th straight start at safety, recorded Princeton's first turnover of the season when he intercepted Lehigh's Brandon Bialkowski to end the Mountain Hawks' first drive of the season.
Bhaya, who finished second on the team with 10 tackles last weekend, was an All-Ivy League safety last year after sharing the team lead with three interceptions.
Oh Captain, Our Captains
Phillip Bhaya will serve as co-captain this season with 2012 All-America and 2013 Preseason All-America Caraun Reid, who was noted on ESPN's College Gameday last weekend as the top NFL prospect in the FCS by Todd McShay. Reid is a two-time All-Ivy League selection on the defensive line, and he had six tackles, a sack and a blocked kick against Georgetown last season.
Tackling The Issue
While Princeton returns plenty of experience in several areas, the Tigers did graduate their top two tacklers last season (Andrew Starks and Tim Kingsbury), both of whom earned All-Ivy honors. The top returning tackler from 2012 is senior Alex Polofsky, who made 67 stops last season.
Playing The Percentages
Both offenses had the edge on third downs last weekend. Princeton converted 8 of 14 third downs, including 5 of 9 in the second half.
The defense will be focusing this week on getting off the field on third downs. Lehigh converted on 9 of 17 overall, but they were 5 of 8 in the second half. Of the three third downs when Lehigh didn't convert, the Mountain Hawks followed with two fourth-down conversions on two attempts.
What Time Is It?
Lehigh had more than 13 minutes in time of possession than Princeton last weekend. Last season, Princeton was 4-0 when it won the time of possession battle, and it is 5-2 during Surace's tenure when it has the advantage,
Over And Over
Princeton was -1 in turnovers last weekend, and is 1-16 since the 2010 season when it is -1 or worse in turnover differential.
Just For Kicks
Special teams was an issue for Princeton both last week, and in the 20-19 loss to Georgetown last year. Sophomore Nolan Bieck had two field goals blocked by the Mountain Hawks, while the Tigers missed three field goals against the Hoyas. Georgetown also blocked a Princeton punt and recovered it in the end zone for a touchdown.
Bieck provided a reason for optimism last season, though. After his struggles against Georgetown, he bounced back the following week to make four field goals in four attempts and was named the Ivy League Special Teams Player of the Week.
The Crystal Ball
Princeton returns to Powers Field Oct. 5 (1 pm) for the Ivy League opener against Columbia. If you can't make it, all three Ivy League home games will be shown live on ESPN3. Princeton plays four Ivy road games this season, and each will be streamed live on the Ivy League Digital Network.

Nov. 12, 2011
PALO ALTO, Calif. – The Arizona State University cross country teams battled against the best teams in the West on Saturday as the squads competed at the NCAA West Regional Championships in Palo Alto, Calif. The Sun Devil women's team finished seventh overall while the men were eighth on the day.
Both teams remain on the bubble of qualifying for the NCAA Championships, which will take place on Nov. 21 in Terre Haute, Ind., and will await the official NCAA competition announcement tomorrow evening.
Freshman Shelby Houlihan is the only member of the teams that has her an NCAA Championship fate decided. The youngster out of Sioux City, Iowa, was the top freshman in the field on Saturday as she finished 12th overall in 20:36. Should the Sun Devil women not qualify, Houlihan would likely be the second highest finisher in the race from a non-qualifying school and would thus advance to the NCAA Championships as an individual runner.
The men opened off the day of competition at the Stanford Golf Course with the first 10,000-meter race of the reason. Junior Nick Happe paced the men for the third consecutive race as he reeled off an impressive 21st-place finish in what he later dubbed 'the best cross country race of my life'.
Happe covered the course in 29:56 to earn All-Region honors for the first time in his career. Dependent on the fates of some of the others teams in the race, Happe still has a shot of qualifying as an individual competitor even if the men do not qualify as a team.
Matt Boughton was next across the line for the Sun Devils, finishing in 30:19 in 39th-place overall. Boughton was the first of a pack of ASU runners as Doug Smith was not far behind in 44th place in a time of 30:24.
Senior Daniel Lovell came next for ASU in 56th place in 30:41 while Brian Pierre, a transfer from Boise State who made an immediate impact with the Sun Devils, was the final point-scoring individual in 63rd place in a time of 30:46.
On the women's side, senior Lindsay Prescott was the next runner behind Houlihan as she clocked a time of 21:15 to finish 36th. Junior Kate Lydy had one of her strongest runs of the reason as she finished 55th overall as the third ASU runner.
Freshman Macy Bricks was next across the line in 65th (21:44) and junior Natasa Vulic rounded out the point-scorers in 75th place in a time of 21:53.
Stanford was the men's team champion defeating the field of 25 in the process while Washington won the women's race and was easily the class of the field of 31 teams. Lawi Lalang of Arizona won the men's competition, a field that featured 172 runners while Jordan Hasay of Oregon returned to her winning ways as she paced the field of 219 in the women's race.
The teams will await the newest Kolas Calculator - the calculations used to decide the NCAA field – which is set to have its most updated release tonight at 8 p.m. CST. The NCAA will officially announce the NCAA Championship field tomorrow.
Should the teams qualify, the NCAA Championships will be run on Monday, Nov. 21, at the LaVern Gibson Championships Course in Terre Haute, Ind. Check back at thesundevils.com tomorrow evening to learn the official announcement as to the ASU cross country program's qualification status.

2016-06-27 (1/64) vs. James Ward
6-0 7-6 6-4
A versatile player, Novak Djokovic has won 10 Grand Slam titles, including three in a superlative 2011 season that saw him capture 10 tournament titles overall, post an ATP-best 70-6 record and seize the No. 1 ranking. His most recent Slam win came in September 2015 when he defeated Roger Federer in the U.S. Open final. In 2012, The world No. 1 added to his legacy in fighting back from a 2-4 fifth-set deficit to defeat Rafal Nadal, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2, 6-7 (5), 7-5, and capture his third Australian Open championship in the longest Grand Slam final in history — a five hour, 53-minute epic. It was Djokovic's seventh straight win over Nadal and came after his five-set triumph over Andy Murray in the semifinals, marking the first time he had won back-to-back five-set matches. Djokovic became the fifth man in the Open Era to win three straight majors, joining Nadal, Roger Federer, Pete Sampras and Rod Laver. The top-seeded Serbian beat Andy Murray, 6-1, 7-6, to collect his third career Miami title without surrendering a set. It was Djokovic's 30th career title, including his 11th Masters crown, tying him with Pete Sampras for fourth place on the all-time list. Djokovic fought off four match points to edge Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the French Open quarterfinals, then topped Roger Federer to reach his first French Open final where he lost to Nadal. Djokovic swept Richard Gasquet in the Toronto final to successfully defend his Rogers Cup title and win his 12th career Masters 1000 championship. In 2012, Djokovic won six titles in 11 finals, posting 75 victories and finishing as No. 1 for the second straight year to become the first man since Federer (2004-2007) to finish No. 1 in back-to-back seasons. Djokovic beat Murray to win his sixth major title at the 2013 Australian Open, becoming the first man in the Open Era to win three straight Melbourne titles. Djokovic fell to Andy Murray in the 2013 Wimbledon final. The top-ranked Serbian reached his fourth consecutive U.S. Open final in September, 2013, and was up a break in the third set before losing to No. 2 Rafael Nadal, 6-2, 3-6, 6-4, 6-1. It was Djokovic's sixth Grand Slam final against Nadal. Djokovic defeated Juan Martin del Potro 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 (3) to successfully defend his Shanghai title in October, 2013. Djokovic extended his winning streak on Chinese soil to 20 matches in capturing his 15th Masters title. Djokovic beat David Ferrer, 7-5, 7-5, in the Paris Masters final to earn his 17th straight win, his sixth title of 2013 and his 40th career championship. In March, 2014, Djokovic edged Roger Federer, 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (3) in the Indian Wells final to collect his 17th Masters championship and 42nd career title overall. It was Djokovic's third BNP Paribas Open championship. On May 18, 2014, Djokovic defeated defending champion Rafael Nadal, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3, in the final to capture his third Rome title. It was Djokovic's third Masters championship of 2014. On June 8, 2014, Nadal defeated Djokovic in French Open final, denying the Serbian the career Grand Slam. On July 6, 2014, the top-seeded Djokovic defeated Roger Federer 6-7 (7), 6-4, 7-6 (4), 5-7, 6-4 in the Wimbledon final to capture his seventh career Grand Slam championship and regain the world No. 1 ranking. In winning the 2008 Australian Open, he became the first player besides Roger Federer or Rafael Nadal to win a major since 2005, when Marat Safin won the Australian Open. Djokovic also reached the final of the 2007 U.S. Open. Nicknamed "Nole", the Serb won the bronze medal at the 2008 Olympics and went on to collect the 2008 Tennis Masters Cup. Djokovic won five titles in 2009, including the Paris Masters, and advanced to four other Masters 1000 finals that year. In 2010, Djokovic claimed two titles, reached the quarterfinals or better in all four Grand Slam tournaments for the first time, led Serbia to its first Davis Cup championship with a 7-0 singles record and finished the season ranked No. 3 for the fourth year in a row. Djokovic delivered a spectacular 2011 season, winning 41 consecutive matches to open the year before losing for the first time to Roger Federer in the French Open semifinals. Djokovic won 64 of his first 66 matches, collecting Grand Slam titles at the Australian Open, Wimbledon and U.S. Open. His four-set win over Nadal in the final was his sixth straight victory over the king of clay. Djokovic fought off two match points vs. Federer in the U.S. Open semifinal to become the first man to win a major championship after saving a match point since Safin won the 2005 Australian Open after saving two match points against Federer in the semifinals. Djokovic finished 2011 collecting an ATP record $12,619,803 in prize money, surpassing the previous record of $10.1 million earned by Rafael Nadal in 2010 and Roger Federer in 2007. His parents, Srdjan and Dijana, are often a vocal presence in his player's box. With their help, the family purchased the Las Vegas tournament from the ATP and created the Serbia Open, which Djokovic won in 2009 (its inaugural year). Djokovic's brother, Marko, is also a pro player.

Post subject: My pet peeve...
Warning! A rant...
My pet peeve for
romance titles
is that the word "
" which is a
--and one of the first words we learn as children, as in, I am, you are, he/she/it is--should always be capitalized but too often just isn't, like so: Silk is for Seduction; The Duke is Mine; The Reason is You.
Now of course I know that capping titles isn't on anyone's list of world problems, but two things make this stand out for me, especially as a reader and book lover:
(1) Depending on which list you look at, the USA is somewhere between 26th and 46th in ranking for literacy among the world's
(2) On social boards that include those for whom English is not their native or first language, those posters are too often better users of English than too many Americans are.
The word "it," a pronoun, is often incorrectly lowercased too, e.g., Blame it on Bath. I think it must be a conspiracy against two-letter words, especially those beginning with the letter "i."
Capping titles is mostly easy: Cap everything except articles and prepositions (and okay, some conjunctions and infinitives). But
reader knows what a noun, pronoun and a verb is for cryin' out loud, right? Sigh...
Okay. Rant over; back to regularly scheduled programming.

Heh. Now I'm going to notice this. I tried to look up titles on Amazon, to see whether 'is' is capitalized. My first search: The Duke Is Mine. Was capitalized properly. Then there is My Sister is a Werewolf whch isn't capitalized.
Perhaps it is stylistic, to make the key words pop out?

All lowercase (or all uppercase) letters on a book cover itself (meaning every single letter) can be a legitimate stylistic choice, like the book you noted, but what Amazon has is just a mistake because whoever entered the book into
their database
doesn't know title rules--or verbs.
To make it more difficult, some books covers use the same case letters, say all caps, but in different size fonts, so if words like "an, the, of, in" and so on are capped but smaller that the other words (nouns, verbs, etc), that's good; the word "is" should be in the larger size font because of capitalization rules, but turns out hit or miss some of the time.
ETA: After looking more at Amazon titles, I decided they make their fair share of mistakes, so I deleted my original comment cutting them some slack. Looking at the actual book covers themselves on Amazon as well, I could see that some titles are about style and some are just illiterate. Who would have thought editorial budget cost cutting would extend to what used to be considered the all-important cover??

Okay, I feel really stupid now
, but could you explain the rule?
Capping titles is mostly easy: Cap everything except articles and prepositions (and okay, some conjunctions and infinitives).
I suppose what I'm wondering is, is there a reason that's the rule, or is it just the convention - just something you should have learnt at school?
I'm in the UK, so can't blame the American school system, but I never know any of this kind of stuff. I think when I was in primary school there was an educational fad which suggested teaching grammar was old-fashioned, and that children would naturally pick up correct usage if they read enough.
But every reader knows what a noun, pronoun and a verb is for cryin' out loud, right?
I literally only found out what a pronoun was when my own children were taught it. Also adverbs: who knew?

Capitalization rules for titles is indeed standard, but there are style guides that may vary in some minor points (like hyphenated words or longer prepositions). The publisher picks which style, like the
The Chicago Manual of Style
, the one most often followed in the US. In the UK, it's
The Oxford Style Manual
, which is like
Sometimes an individual publisher, like the
NY Times
, has its own "headline style," often for space reasons. But writers should know the style they are writing in. As for school children, it may vary over times and places, but I myself was taught title style for writing any papers that were required to have titles.
The Chicago Manual of Style
rules are...
--Always capitalize the first and the last word.
--Capitalize all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and subordinate conjunctions ("as", "because", "although").
--Lowercase all articles ("a", "an", "the"), coordinate conjunctions ("and", "or", "nor"), and prepositions when they are other than the first or last word.
Quite a few publishers choose to capitalize prepositions of five characters or more ("after", "among", "between".)
--Lowercase the "to" in an infinitive.
The most common mistakes are...
Two-Letter Words
Some writers lowercase all two-letter words, probably by extrapolation from the short prepositions "of", "to", "up", and so on, and the word "to" in infinitives. But if a two-letter word is acting as a noun, pronoun, adjective, or adverb, it must be capitalized. For example:
Go Tell it on the Mountain
(wrong; "it" is a pronoun and should be capitalized)
When is a Spade a Spade?
(wrong; "is" is a verb and should be capitalized)
Multipurpose Words
Some writers lowercase words that can function as prepositions when those words are currently functioning in other capacities. For example:
The Man in the Moon Owns a Yellow Balloon
(correct; "in" is functioning as a preposition and should be lowercased)
Bringing in the Sheaves
(wrong; "in" is functioning as an adverb and should be capitalized)
What I really want is for the verb "Is" to be capped in book titles!

Thank you so much. That's seriously fascinating.
I spent too much time yesterday peering at the spines of my books trying to infer the rules, but I don't think I'd ever have deduced them correctly.
It's a bit magical as well - I think I must always have assumed that publishers just capitalised whichever words they wanted the public to notice, and it's really pleasing to know that there's a secret (well, secret from me) system behind it all.

When I was in school, they actually just told us to make all the "little" words lower case, and while I've always known that is wrong, I generally don't pay all that much attention to the correct way.

Neither of your statements surprises me. I too had a couple of, um, shall we say, "greatly uninformed" teachers who wouldn't know a verb if someone smacked them between the eyes with a verb sign, even a couple of English teachers, I'm sorry to say. And a lot of people obviously don't care either and it generally shows.
What fries my bacon is when the people who don't know, don't care, or can't tell the difference say that a romance is "well written" when they should probably just stick with something like "I really enjoyed the book" or "great story." I too enjoy bunches of romances that have great stories and characters, but that can be ascribed to just storytelling ability. When I say well written, I mean an author's use of language since the other main meaning of well written refers to handwriting. An author can be a good storyteller or a good writer or both, but it varies and doesn't always go hand in hand, although it's wonderful when that happens.
And I won't even go into that territory where language, thinking and intelligence are linked even though some people are always pointing out that language is what sets mankind apart.
I do especially care about language as it relates to romances, though, because we don't need to give critics any more reasons to look down their noses at the romances we love. (I also care about politics where language can be intentionally misused to obfuscate rather than to clarify.)
Last thought: If a writer or publisher can't even get the title right, what the heck are they going to do with all the prose in the book?

I've even seen authors' names misspelled before (usually inside flap or on the back cover). I expect better out of the publishers.
I do wonder how technology and globalization are going to change usage and styles. I credit marketing and advertising with having the biggest influence and often being the biggest offenders. They often have their own (non-transparent) reasons for doing what they do, though.
I work for a business that has its own style guide, and we also are very ethnically diverse, which has influenced some of their stylistic decisions (use sentence case, not title case in ppt presentations, for example). When I was young, I could remember the major style guides (Chicago, AP, etc.) fairly well. These days, my brain stops short and I just can't keep track anymore. I think consistency is most important if you're going to use your own style, though.

All terrific points, Eggletina.
Publishers do indeed have the final say. But most authors see the cover as a separate entity before the books are pubbed, even Avon! And of course the authors see the edited manuscript pages, which generally have the romance's title as a header on the top right-hand page. So I don't entirely let authors off the hook, especially when I've noted trends among authors, some of whom always get it right and others with language mistakes both on the cover and within their prose.
I too have thought about the effects of technology. Several of the changes I've already noted are...
---works broken (hypenated) in ineligible places
---where hyphenation is placed in words between line breaks, and sometimes even double hyphenation which used to be a no-no
---pages ending with just a single line of text from the start of a paragraph, or pages starting with the last line of a paragraph is now completely acceptable where it once wasn't
--"widows" or lines with just one two- or three-letter word on a line by itself which used to be an anathema for wasting paper
And things will continue to change, no doubt, not only because of globilization but because we have a living language that does change.
But some things are fairly consistent too, like some authors having trouble with things like adverbs, never mind gerunds. In fact I think even more of the editing may be landing on authors' these days what with publishers cutting back on editorial staff. I've noticed some authors' mentioning their using their own copy editors or perhaps beta readers.
Funny but I once worked at a business with its own style guide too, and I agree about consistency. Style guides don't change parts of speech though, do they; a verb hasn't changed with style as far as I've noticed.
And I agree that the effect of other languages is interesting too. It's one of the reasons I was upset to see English-as-a-second-language users more proficient with English than native users that I mentioned earlier.
Oh well... I did mention it's a pet peeve, right?

I proofread a small journal for a couple decades, and as a programmer I'm routinely proofreading code, and I've recorded errata noticed during recreational reading since 2005, but if I was ever exposed to the capitalization rules you spelled out it was long ago and long forgotten. (My high school years ended in 1972, and I don't think title capitalization came up in any classes I took in college.)
I just pulled a few reference books, and a quick search for capitalization rules reminded me that I have looked into this in the past. I don't record violations of the title capitalization style you described in my errata log because it really is just one of several choices.
I found this footnote in one book (Words into Type):
The library style of capping only the first word and proper names of book titles is occasionally followed in bibliographies, but it is not generally favored by American trade book publishers. However, in many foreign languages it is the preferred style, in which case the original must be followed.
I found this in another book (The Columbia Guide to Standard American English):
Since the details of capitalization required to meet the style of a given press or publication may sometimes be idiosyncratic, you should consult a desk dictionary or your publisher's manual of style.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It mostly boils down to two basic types, though: Sentence style or title style. It's that simple.
Sentence style
is what we use everyday, with the first word capped, proper names capped (Jenny Jones), certain titles (President of the U.S., House of Representatives, etc), and so on. Most newspapers and magazines use this as
style, a version of it, or their own guide..
Title style
has all grammatical words with functions capped (verbs, nouns, adjectives, etc) but not articles, prepositions, etc. Most books use
/Oxford style unless it's a specialty like a math style guide, etc.
The New York Times
is alone, as far as I know, among newspapers in using this style, with some rules of their own added--as some book publishers also do.
Of course some publishers have their own guides.
Some publishers also have secondary resources like
Words into Type
The Copyeditor's Handbook
, etc., for help with knottier issues. One publisher I know checks the Library of Congess at times but prefers Amazon because they can see the actual cover of a book for the exact words of a title, and then apply style.
As for schools, classes or individual teachers, many use
Strunk's Elements of Style
, or any of many, many others, mostly published by English professors. Apparently some schools teach nothing? I wonder if that has any part in lower literacy scores or not?
For me, it often depended on whose class I was in when I was in school, so I had to know several different styles. That came in handy later because one business I worked for used AP, one used their own, and another used Chicago. For the periodical that had it's own guide, I was the editorial liaison with programmers, and we wrote style specs together that would be automated. I got that job because I had both editorial and programming qualifications.
I guess there are different styles for the same reason there are different languages: just because.
I do know that when anyone studies any language, the verb "to be " is taught and early on too:
I am, you are, he/she/it is, we are, you are, they are
je suis, tu es, il est, nous sommes, vous êtes, ils sont
So when
title style
is indeed being used--as it is for the majority of romances--I still wanna know how on earth any English speaker doesn't know
is a verb when they see it. I didn't start this thread about adverbs, gerunds or any other terribly exotic part of speech--just the most basic word "is."

More thoughts.
I know...
I wonder if studying another language makes you better at your own. I had to know the French parts of speech, et al, in high school and college long before I could truly read French, so that probably couldn't have had anything but a good effect on my English, right? Maybe that's one of the reasons the Europeans I know are also so proficient in multiple languages. Just a thought.
This next point is sad. I decided to look at books on Amazon by book categories, and romances had far more title mistakes than did the other disciplines I looked at. Coincidence of my survey? Publishers of romances taking less care than publishers of science, history or literary books? Paperback vs hardback? Romance titles tended to be shorter by about half than many wordy non-fiction titles--so that's odd too. I hope this doesn't mean pb romances (and maybe some other genres) are the step-children of publishing.
Thanks to all of you who took the time to reply to my, er, strong peeve.

Hello all,
I am considering a m53 build. I have built AK's and others previously but I am NO expert. Just a weekend tinkerer. I was wondering if there was an all inclusive source that details how to build one of theses things in complete detail, something similar.
Like I said I am considering the build but I want to know what Im getting into before I buy any parts.
Also does anyone know where to get a receiver?
I found the complete parts kits, less receiver from centerfresystems.com for $300
What do you think about these kits?
Thanks guys,
