Why are we having this discussion. Western military history is rich with individuals who were openly homosexual. The Grecian Armies, the Roman Legions. ALL military strategists must cite Alexander the Great, King Leonidis and the 300, Julius Caesar. Not to mention the thousands of homosexuals who served in WWI & WWII, Korean Conflict, Vietnam War, Panama, Grenada, and Desert Sheild/Storm and the current war on terrorism. That you did not know about because to be gay in the military meant disgrace as well as dishonorable discharge. You say you know your buddy in the fox hole. But did you really know him?
Who gives a crap if you are gay or not. Some of the most courageous war heros may have been in fact gay. They just couldn't admit it openly.

Is this the best time to be reviewing this topic? Our country is going through many CHANGES. Obama says we need change, but at what costs? Our country is under going financial hardships, both personally and as whole. Change is inevitable and this topic will never go away, but in the not so distant future maybe it will be more accetable (one way or another).
Are they going to build seperate shower areas for them? How much is that going to cost? Why should someone who is gay get to enjoy looking at other naked people in the showers? If that is the case I should be able to shower with women and enjoy my self. Every one screams for equality today but do they really want to be equal? Equal pay, equal jobs, equal clubs/gyms, equal working enviroment. Everyone says how times have changed so lets have change. Save the goverment a lot of money and make men and women truly equal. One comunity shower one dorm, serve any place together. Serve on subs, ships, fight on the front lines together. Make all of the standards the same for every thing the pay is the same. Just because a man can't get pregnant he should be given the same time off that a woman gets when his wife / girlfriend has a child. Equality would be such a great thing for everyone.
They still gave their life protecting their country and protecting their fellow soldiers. Anyone who believes that the LGBT community is not still volunteering to serve their country is sadly unaware.
Please stop this unbelievable ignorant policy now. Let our soldiers serve honestly, now and in the future.
Thank you for your service.
I understand how bigotry becomes institutionalized. That does not make it right but education, eventually, solves that problem.
You were wronged. I'm sorry. That wrong can never be righted but we can move on to a new, enlightened, era. I realize that is little consolation.
The Israeli military shows that all races, orientations and genders are every bit as patriotic as we white hetrosexual men.
Being a former Active Duty and Active Reserve member of the US Army, I enlisted before DADT. I remember the witch hunts; I was a loss to the Army because of it. I remember being treated as though I was worse than a terrorist. After serving without hesitation and without fear I was then reduced to the status if a criminal. The amount of fear and anguish that was forced upon me after serving so faithfully and honorably was nothing short of the Spanish inquisition. Serving again under DADT as an active reservist, I was then awarded many times for meritorious service and Achievement all the while keeping my status private knowing that I was living a lie. I gave a large part of my life to military service to protect the country that I love. How then am I rewarded, with having to lie to do so?
Since the beginning of the military and birth of this nation, sexually diverse people have served with honor and distinction! (cont'd)
As an active Legion veteran, I believe it is time to review don't ask don't tell just as DOD has put forth as a go forward policy to solve some of the injustices involved in discharging gays in the military. This review should draw on the experiences of other military forces (Britain, Canada, etc.) who have taken steps to allow homosexuals to serve openly in the military. However, my one concern is that a more liberal military homosexual policy could then be used as a wedge by the civilian gay/transexual lobby to influence changes to the definiltion of marriage at the state or federal level different from man/woman.
I served honorably as an enlisted member, an NCO, and then as an Officer. At the beginning of my 22 years of service, a DA-DT policy like was appropriate, considering the times, and the cohesiveness of the unit.
I was serving when "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" was initiated. It wasn't initiated at the request of those serving- it was done by politicians in Washington. A soldier's duty is to obey the policies established and the UCMJ passed by Congress.
I retired five years ago. I can tell you that times HAVE changed. The policy now is ludicrous for our times. Today soldier's don't look at what sexual orientation another soldier has- they simply want to know if they can trust him/her. Making soldiers lie destroys that trust, and is more of a hinderance that a help.
We MUST change "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," and keep the soldiers we need on the battlefield.
What is wrong with Legion Leaders? Times change. It doesn't bother most soldiers- it shouldn't bother you.
Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs:
"It is my personal belief that allowing gays and lesbians to serve openly would be the right thing to do. No matter how I look at this issue, I cannot escape being troubled by the fact that we have in place a policy which forces young men and women to lie about who they are in order to defend their fellow citizens."
In uttering out loud what many in the military have come to believe in the 17 years since the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" compromise was forced on President Clinton by Congress, Admiral Mullen has fired a shot across the bow of members of congress, and fellow military officers who want discrimination against homosexuals to remain the law of the land.
"At the end of the day, that IS what the debate is all about, ending discrimination. You either believe gays should be discriminated against, or you don't. I happen to believe they should not be."
I was in the Military when "don't ask/don't tell" was instituted. At the time, I thought it was a horrible idea. I didn't think that would ever work. I was wrong. It for the most part has worked well, with one exception. Since don't ask/don't tell has been instituted there have been thousands of men and women discharged because of their sexual orientation. I believe "don't ask/don't tell" should remain in tact, but put protections into the law for gay service members who are found out. They shouldn't be discharged. Remember, we have an all volunteer military. If a person is mentally and physically able to perform the duties and they volunteer to defend our great nation, we should be thankful for their service and not throw all of that away just because of their sexual orientation.
Having spent 40 years with the Army I have seen the disruption that Homosexuality brings to the workplace. If Obama is so adamant about the subject he should let the Military Branches have an election to decide the outcome.YES/NO. Then do what the troops want and forget about it forever.
Why not make the change now? NOW is when we need trained personnel. NOW is when we need translators. NOW is when straight military personnel will have to just get the f*** over themselves and get back to work instead of worrying who might be looking at their weenie. How old are you people? "Mommy, he's looking at me!"
There are already protections in place to insure that sexual harrassment doesn't occur, and plenty of recourse for ANYONE to seek help if they feel they are being abused. As for having a vote like one very disturbed individual has proposed, need I remind you that you're in the military? Do you vote when your Commander gives you an order to see if you'll actually obey or not? End DADT, let people serve openly, and if anyone has a problem with that, let them be court-martialed for not obeying military policy. PERIOD.
This is not the time to bring it up. The old saying is if not broke why try to fix it. Also what goes on behind closed doors, should stay there. Who really care's if the military has homosexual personal or not. Sex preference should not have anything to with your service in the military. It has taken female's along time to prove themselve's in the military and even back in the Roman days there has been homosexuals going to war. Just leave it has it is and do not try to change it.
It IS.
With the general lack of understanding about homosexuality, heterosexual service members may be nervous showering or sleeping in the same room as gay service members. This "nervousness" could lead to a drastic spike in "gay bashing" in the military. To avoid this, would there be separate quarters and showers for gay service members? Is that fair? I'm all for equal rights amongst humanity, but how would our military leaders resolve these issues?
"How would our military leaders resolve these issues?"
Here's how to handle it:
- Find out who did the bashing.
- Prosecute them to the fullest extent of military law.
- Make an example of them to the rest of the troops.
- Reiterate (for the morons who need repetition) that just like with any other minorities, bigotry and prejudice will NOT be tolerated.
See how easy that is?
I served with gays during the Vietnam Era and they worked just as hard as straight guys. They are just as patriotic as anyone and should be able to serve.

How about a "Marathon Forum"?
The suggestion has been made, but I wanted to add some reasons for it, and to petition the other members to show their support for it.
If you look across all of the forums, there is one topic that is common to almost all of them - the marathon.
In Basic Training you have questions about the long run. What's the optimum distance? How many should I do? In R&RR you have the Marathon Training threads. In Mainstream you have questions about how to do marathon pace runs. Even in Just Running you have a few topics related to the marathon. If a person wants to know how to carbo load for a marathon, instead of wading through all of the general topics in Carbo Canteen, they could go to the "Carbo loading" topic in the Marathon forum. Share your carbo loading regimen with others there. Got a question about a particular marathon (Chicago, NYC, ...)? What is the course like, ... etc.? It could even have a "Training Schedules" topic. Why search across the internet for Higdon, Galloway, ... etc. Find the link to theirs and other schedules in one place I see a lot of posts where a person has a question about doing "long runs". To someone just starting to run, 5 miles is a long run. To a person training for a 1/2M a long run might be 12 miles. This way, if it's specifically about training for a marathon, then it can go to the Marathon forum. How do I get through the "wall"? Or, how often should I drink a sport drink, or take a gel during a marathon? Got a first time marathon question? Want a strategy for doing multiple marathons? It could even be a place for talking about great marathoners. I saw a topic about Alberto Salazar in Newbie Cafe. Hey, post it in the Marathon forum where everybody can see it! I noticed that in Multisport someone had a question about making the transition from triathlon to training specifically for a marathon. Need a marathon strategy for the Ironman? The people in Multisport can either post their Ironman questions in the Marathon forum, or get/share advice there.
Boston:Running the Boston marathon? Or wanting to qualify? There were enough questions about Boston for it to have its own forum! I must have seen a few dozen topics about Boston this year. How do I pace myself? How do I handle the hills? What do I do before the start? Where's a good hotel? Where should my friend drop me off? With a marathon forum there would be one central place for all Boston questions. And you'd probably have fewer topics because they would be easier to find if they're in just one place.
Edited to include nominations
Nominations for Moderator: Kemibe, Centipede, Sue, dallison, (co-moderators from the names mentioned), ...
great reasons! I'm for it...

"It never gets easier, you just go faster."

Yeah, I'm frankly amazed that there isn't a Marathon forum, already. Seems like a no-brainer, doesn't it?
Marathons are so popular among runners, these days, that it would be beneficial for runners to be able to find information, ask questions and engage in discussions all in a single, dedicated place. Even runners who have not run a marathon dream of it, and want to read/post/think/ask about it. The marathon continues to have such a mystique, despite its popularity, that it's a natural topic.
Right now, comments and questions are spread out in various forums and threads, and anyone who wants to read much on the subject has to hop scotch all over, without ever knowing if s/he looked in the right place. And posters have to wonder if their posts/questions are being put in the best area for discussion. It's a guessing game at present.
This is about more than mere popularity, though. If it were just that, the BEER thread would deserve its own forum! It's also about tuning-in to the soul of running, which is embodied in the marathon for such a wide variety of people.
I think a Marathon forum is a "gimme." Just do it!
It makes sense to me. The marathon is a huge beast, and a marathon forum would rapidly evolve a culture all it's own. However, I wouldn't want to see a 10K forum, 5k forum, half-marathon forum, etc.
When you're training for a marathon you want to live, eat, and breath marathon info. This new forum would be that place for many people.

"No Brain, No Pain!"
Sounds great.
Great idea
Just a thing to think about: there are various aspects about marathons and running in general that each forum covers - training, strategy, fueling, injuries, et al. that non-marathoners can benefit from participating in - along with marathoners, ultramarathoners, and triathletes. It would be a shame to preclude these people simply because they chose not to run 26.2-mile races.
I don't see why this is necessary. With the exception of the Clubhouse, every forum has already become a marathon forum.
ACTIVE is the leader in online event registrations from 5k running races and marathons to softball leagues and local events. ACTIVE also makes it easy to learn and prepare for all the things you love to do with expert resources, training plans and fitness calculators.

Wreck halts traffic on I-20/59
Published: Sunday, January 6, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 5, 2013 at 5:50 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Southbound traffic on Interstate 20/59 was at a standstill for several hours Saturday morning when a tractor-trailer struck an overhead interstate exit sign.
Alabama State Troopers responded to the wreck shortly before 7 a.m. and found the truck in the median at the 72 mile marker, said a State Troopers spokeswoman. The truck's driver, 58-year-old Dallas resident Ramon Reyes, had reportedly crashed into the interstate sign that indicates the 71A (Moundville) and 71B (Tuscaloosa) exits, knocking the sign to the ground and blocking all three lanes of southbound traffic.
The driver was taken to DCH Regional Medical Center with injuries that were not life-threatening, the spokeswoman said. Traffic was diverted off the McFarland exits, while the road was cleared up. In addition to the southbound lanes, one northbound lane was also closed while the truck and sign were being removed from the roadway. All lanes reopened about 3 p.m.
The wreck is being investigated, the spokeswoman said.

Old English birnan 'be on fire' and bærnan 'consume by fire', both from the same Germanic base; related to German brennen.
The burn meaning 'to be on fire' and the Scottish word for a small stream are not connected, although both are Old English. To burn the midnight oil, 'to read or work late into the night', and to burn the candle at both ends, 'to go to bed late and get up early', both recall the days before gas and electricity, when houses were lit by candles and oil lamps.

burn 2
nounchiefly Scottish & Northern English
- Make sure you are casting where saltwater meets the fresh of a burn, stream or river.
- Rivers and burns became torrents and turned the colour of pus.
- The hill burns are torrents of water and the main river a chocolate flood.
Old English burna, burn(e), of Germanic origin; related to Dutch bron and German Brunnen 'well'.
The burn meaning 'to be on fire' and the Scottish word for a small stream are not connected, although both are Old English. To burn the midnight oil, 'to read or work late into the night', and to burn the candle at both ends, 'to go to bed late and get up early', both recall the days before gas and electricity, when houses were lit by candles and oil lamps. To burn your boats (in Britain also to burn your bridges) derives from military campaigns. Burning the boats or bridges that a force used to reach a particular position would mean that they had destroyed any means of escape or retreat: they had no choice but to fight on.

A federal judge has ruled that Bend couple Kevin and Tami Sawyer, facing federal charges of swindling millions of dollars from real estate investors, can get their passports back and visit their property in Mexico -- but with big strings attached -- to the property itself.
"It's yet another one of the vindications of the truth that's coming out. It's just been long coming, and it's just one of many things that's going to be turning around in their favor," said a friend of the couple, Matthew Summers, said Wednesday.
Meanwhile, David Redwine said, "We victims have learned not to expect anything from the system."
Tami and Kevin Sawyer are scheduled to go to trial late this year on dozens of federal fraud, conspiracy and money laundering charges.
The Sawyers are accused of stealing more than $4 million from real estate investors. Until now, judges have denied the couple's plea for their passports to leave the country and check on their property in Mexico.
Their passports were taken away last fall, when they were found in contempt of court.
A judge said they were not cooperating, refusing to disclose information about their company, Starboard LLC. For months, the couple was turned down when they asked to have their passports back. Not the case any more.
On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Thomas Coffin gave the Sawyers what they wanted Tuesday. He granted approval for the couple to travel to Mexico to conduct business involving their property.
"The victims are trying to get more information from the U.S. attorney, Scott Bradford, as to what was the thinking was, and what was their knowledge of the true purpose of them going down there," said Redwine, a Bend doctor who won a $900,000 judgment against the couple, but has yet to see any of the money.
The Sawyers say they need to cross the border to repair hurricane and flood damage that happened to their property last fall.
But Redwine said that's not true.
"Clearly, both of them aren't needed for repairs," Redwine said. "So they're trying to transfer property to other people."
The property Redwine mentioned is the Sawyers' Mexican getaway in Cabo San Lucas. It's the same house that will be used as a "bond" to make sure the Sawyers return to the U.S. for their trial.
Some people think the former real estate broker and ex-Bend police captain will cross the border and never look back.
"That's just preposterous, especially when things are turning for them," said the couple's friend, Matt Summers. (Tami Sawyer told NewsChannel 21 she could not comment, on advice of her attorney, but got us in touch with Summers.)
Redwine, who's entangled in even more legal drama with Tami Sawyer, agrees: They'll come back.
"They're dramatic, particularly Tami is very dramatic," Redwine said. "But I don't think they would be that dramatic."

Police seek theft suspects
Published: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 8:45 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 at 10:41 a.m.
A pickup truck, a car and a trailer were allegedly stolen from LaPlace and abandoned in Raceland, Lafourche deputies said.
Crime Stoppers is offering a reward for information that leads to arrests.
The three were parked on a field off Williams Street, deputies discovered Tuesday night. Witnesses saw the vehicles traveling in the area Saturday night, according to the Lafourche Parish Sheriff's Office.
The blue Ford Mustang and silver Dodge Ram pickup truck bore no license plates, and their Vehicle Identification Numbers were covered, deputies said. Everything was towed to the St. John the Baptist Parish Sheriff's Office.
To anonymously report the crime and be eligible for up to $1,000 in cash, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-743-7433.

SANTA CLARA — Coaches tend to gauge their team's readiness by how well they practice during the week. To that end, 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh is confident that his players are ready to play at a high level against the Atlanta Falcons in the NFC Championship Game.
"I'm really happy," Harbaugh said on Friday about the way his team practiced this week. "I would say our Wednesday, our Thursday practice were outstanding. Our Friday practices have been really good the last three, four weeks, and today was as good as those or better. So, good preparation."
Another encouraging sign surfaced Friday during practice, when some players took added time to make sure they had down their assignments.
"There were a few times where defensive players asked to have the play repeated because they wanted to get it right," Harbaugh said. "That was good, taking ownership, on their part."
Now it's off to Atlanta, where the 49ers (12-4-1) take on the top-seeded Falcons (14-3) on Sunday for the right to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl in New Orleans.
Harbaugh said he will spend part of his time on the long flight doing more prep work. Interestingly, the 49ers will not conduct a walk-through Saturday at the Georgia Dome, Harbaugh said.
Perhaps he doesn't feel the need after seeing how well his players practiced and prepared the past five days.
"It feels like a team that's determined, focused, ready to get on a plane and get ready to play a football game," Harbaugh said.
One thing Harbaugh doesn't have to worry about is his players being too confident.
He said his players know what's at stake and many of them have the experience from playing in last season's NFC Championship Game against the New York Giants to draw upon.
Given that, Harbaugh said he has high hopes and expectations for his team during Sunday's game.
"I would like the focus and concentration to be the highest it's been," Harbaugh said. "I would like guys to go out and play the best game that they have ever played here."

Woman returns home to find burglar fleeing with loot
Caught in the act
Published: Friday, May 24, 2013 at 12:40 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 24, 2013 at 12:40 p.m.
An 85-year-old woman returned to her home off of N.C. Highway 280 in Mills River to catch a glimpse of a burglar fleeing the scene with a pillowcase of her belongings around 4:30 p.m. Thursday. She called 911.
"As I returned home, I drove in my driveway and this young guy was going around the back, and he's been in my house. He had a whole bag of stuff," the caller told 911.
With the homeowner's description and quick reaction, Henderson County deputies began checking pawnshops in the area and found two suspects.
The Henderson County Sheriff's Office charged Nicholas Jackson, 23, and Taylor Jackson, 23, both of 3682 Chimney Rock Road, with one count each of felonious burglary through forcible entry and felonious obtaining property by false pretenses. Deputies stopped the couple in a vehicle leaving a local pawn shop. The pillowcase and other items taken from the caller's home were recovered, according to a news release from the Sheriff's Office.
The Jacksons were arrested without incident and remain in the Henderson County Detention Facility, each held in lieu of $10,000 secured bonds.

Barry Manilow has been around for so long that one can forget just what an incredible force he once was in pop music. On Thursday, the 69-year-old vocalist-pianist reminded folks at the HP Pavilion in San Jose.
"I was the Justin Bieber of the '70s," Manilow proclaimed to the roughly 8,000 fans in attendance. "Really, I was. Ask your mother."
No need to ask mom. Manilow provided all the evidence necessary during this evening, which was packed full of fan favorites from his heyday in the '70s.
"I bet you are going to know every single song we do tonight," Manilow said early on.
Well, maybe not every single one, but darn near close.
Manilow ignored his latest release, 2011's bizarre concept record "15 Minutes," as well as most of his lesser-known material during the concert. The show lasted just over 80 minutes, yet it's hard to imagine that many attendees walked away complaining about the songs that weren't played.
It was a very Vegas evening, quite similar to the production performed during the singer's two-year residency (2010-2011) at the Paris Hotel in that Sin City. Yes, contrary to what you've heard, not everything that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. That's a good thing, at least in the case of Manilow, since this revue translates quite well to the arena.
He took the stage just after 8 p.m. sporting a fuchsia-colored suit coat, the kind that only Manilow and a few other performers could get away with. He immediately led his top-notch band through a medley of two of his best up-tempo offerings, "It's a Miracle" (from 1974's "Barry Manilow II") and "Could It Be Magic" (from 1973's "Barry Manilow"). He then slowed things down with another medley, of "Somewhere in the Night" (from 1978's "Even Now") and "Looks Like We Made It" (from 1976's "This One's for You").
The concert was light on special effects, but strong on personality. Manilow is a natural born storyteller, which is probably one of the reasons why he's also such a capable songwriter, and the tales told in San Jose were often quite charming. He delivered a bizarre mix of bravado and self-effacing humor — with the latter working best for him. Indeed, the finest joke of the night came at his own expense, after the album cover from "Even Now" was flashed on the overhead screen. He looked at the picture, which shows his face and a distant New York skyline, and exclaimed, "God, my nose looks like one of the buildings!"
His voice was a bit weaker and more hoarse then I remembered from my last Manilow concert, which occurred a few years back, yet it hardly put a damper on the evening. This night was about hearing all those old favorite songs -- like "Mandy," "Can't Smile Without You" and "Copacabana (At the Copa)" -- and Manilow hardly disappointed in that regard. Even after all these decades in the business, the singer still seems to give his all when he delivers the hits.
"I swear I never get tired of singing these songs," he said. "They bring back such great memories for me.
"They must do that for you as well."
Judging from the reaction from the crowd in San Jose, the answer seems to be yes.

The following is an excerpt from our 2013 Annual Report: A Recipe for Success.
Phyllis and Roland Potter, 81 and 83 respectively, have been going to the Bethel Health Center since it opened. First the Sharon couple saw Dr. Ronald Gadway. They now see Dr. Mark Seymour. But another smiling face that greets them is just as impactful as their primary caregiver. That person is medical secretary Kathy Benson, says Phyllis.
"I've known Kathy since she was a little girl. We know her parents. She's a very thoughtful girl. She's a sweetheart. If I needed help out to the car, she'd be there in a minute. She would help anyone in a minute." ~ Phyllis Potter

In the six years at the helm of the Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Baseball program, head coach Scott Malone has focused on improving his team both on and off the field. The latest such example of improvement off the field is when the Islanders took part in the annual Salvation Army Angel Tree Program, the first time the team has been involved with the charity.
"We've entered year six of Malone era, and I felt like we've always been really good with getting engaged in the community," said Malone. "Coming around to the holiday season, we were looking for something new, something we haven't done before. My wife actually came up with idea of us doing the Salvation Army Angel Tree."
The program is set up so that local volunteers can go to La Palmera Mall, pick an ornament with a name off of a tree and then get a shopping list for that particular child that needs help.
"We went through the mall, they have this big row of trees set in there and all the different kids with their holiday wishes," said Malone. "It was basically their letters to Santa about whatever they want. Salvation Army does a great job of not only having toys, but they really hit the basics too; shirt sizes, pants sizes, shoes, the basic necessities. It's really a neat project."
Although the baseball team is wrapped in the preparation for and taking of finals, they were still able to find time for a good cause in the Corpus Christi community by helping out with the Angel Tree program.
"I spent some time when I introduced it to our players, talking about the idea of unselfishness," said Malone. "This time of the year really is driven by trying to do something for someone else, trying to do something for those less fortunate.
"Obviously it's a busy time of year, our guys have wrapped up their workouts, and they are locked into finals week studying, trying to have a great finish to the semester."
From helping out by reading at local elementary schools, to cleaning up areas in the community and volunteering for community events, Malone makes sure the team puts as much back into the community as the locals put into the program.
"This Angel Tree project has given us a chance again to connect with the community, provide some necessities for some kids that are underprivileged," said Malone. "That is the primary focus, but it also gives our kids a little bit of a diversion from the everyday grind of studying, working out and getting ready to wrap up this semester."

About Us > Newsroom > $37 Million Grant to Study COPD
William Allstetter National Jewish email@example.com
Jessica Podlaski Brigham and Women's email@example.com
Researchers from National Jewish Medical and Research Center and Brigham and Women's Hospital have been awarded a $37 million grant from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) to lead the most comprehensive study of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) ever undertaken. The multi-institutional study will seek to identify the genetic, epidemiological and radiological characteristics of COPD, with a long-term goal of better understanding the disease and finding more effective treatments.
"COPD is the fourth leading cause of death in the United States, and yet we know so little about the disease," said James Crapo, MD, professor of medicine at National Jewish and co-principal investigator of the study. "This study will help us determine which smokers are most at risk of developing the disease, who is most likely to have progressive disease, and how to more effectively treat it."
"Our goal with this massive project is to discover genes responsible for this chronic lung disease and to develop a comprehensive data sharing plan so that this study will become a national resource for the scientific community," said Edwin Silverman, MD, PhD, associate professor of medicine at BWH and co-principal investigator of the study.
The 16 clinical study centers involved will enroll a total of 10,500 participants, 3,500 of whom will be African American, a population whose COPD rates are rapidly growing and whose risk factors have not been adequately studied.
COPD is an umbrella term for a variety of progressive lung diseases, most commonly emphysema and chronic bronchitis, which damage lung tissue and make it difficult to breathe. Cigarette smoking causes the vast majority of COPD cases, but breathing in other kinds of lung irritants may also cause the disease. A mutation in the alpha-1 antitrypsin gene accounts for about one to two percent of COPD cases, but researchers hypothesize other genetic factors are likely involved. COPD is the only leading case of death in the US that has been steadily increasing in frequency over the past decade There is no treatment that can cure the disease and only a few measures to extend the lives of patients.
The new study will enroll smokers with and without COPD. Study participants with COPD will donate a sample of blood for DNA analysis and will undergo a single study visit that will include pulmonary function tests, questionnaires about respiratory and general health, a six-minute walk test, a physical examination and a chest CT scan. After study participation, phone and mail contacts will be conducted with study participants every six months.
"The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute is excited to fund what will be the largest study ever of the genetics of COPD. Identifying genetic factors that contribute to this devastating disease will help us understand the biological mechanisms involved, and will ultimately lead to better treatments and improved outcomes for patients," said Elizabeth G. Nabel , MD, director of the NHLBI. The NHLBI is promoting better awareness of COPD through its public education campaign, Learn More Breathe Better.

A team from Johns Hopkins University, the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH), Brigham and Women's Hospital, and the University of Colorado will provide statistical analysis.

The San Francisco 49ers are one game away from the Super Bowl, but it's the one game they've been unable to win all season. In a year marked by some superlative numbers -- two highly rated quarterbacks, one genius on the sidelines, a sixth championship in sight -- the Niners remained divided by threes.
This year's Niners were humbled in every third game -- four times with a loss and once with a tie. No Super Bowl champion has ever gone through a regular season without winning at least three in a row, and before the 49ers can lower that particular bar to greatness, they must win their third straight game when they meet the Atlanta Falcons Sunday for the NFC Championship.
The Falcons opened their season with eight consecutive victories, and the New England Patriots -- playing Baltimore Sunday for the AFC title -- had a seven-game winning streak -- until they were beaten by the 49ers, who finished the regular campaign 11-4-1.
So, thrice would have been nice. But if in the regular season you don't succeed, the only thing left to do is tri-, tri-, tri- again.
A highly scientific sampling of players, coaches, people awakened abruptly on buses and numerologists who don't know anything about football has revealed that there's no reason for Niners fans to panic. The team's single statistical shortcoming isn't something to worry about. Probably.
The players aren't freaking about their failure at streaking. "It's none of our concern," said San Francisco's Pro Bowl safety, Dashon Goldson, about the absence of threes. "We've got another opportunity and we've got to get it done."
And if they do, they'll get another opportunity, this one to do what no NFL team has done. "That's what making history is all about," said Harry Edwards, a sports psychologist who has been a consultant to the 49ers for the past 30 years. "The fans? They can have fun with it. The betting crowd? They can have fun with it. The reality is, it doesn't matter. If some people had more to do, they wouldn't have time to look up these obscure, largely irrelevant statistical coincidences."
Yes, some people.
"Your brain just doesn't work like that when you're playing week to week," said Randy Cross, the former 49ers offensive lineman and CBS football analyst. "The only thing they have to think about, and the only way that they do think, is about a one-game winning streak. Three one-game winning streaks, that's all it takes."
Hall of Fame coach and video game avatar John Madden was joy riding through the mean streets of Pleasanton in the Madden Cruiser when he confronted the possibility of using the statistical oddity as a locker room ploy. "If you have 50 things that you have to be aware of, that would maybe be No. 49," Madden said. "I wouldn't bring it up unless I looked back and saw a reason for it. Like maybe we didn't have (good) concentration the week after we won."
Whether the quarterback was Alex Smith -- knocked out in the season's ninth game, a 24-24 tie with St. Louis -- or Colin Kaepernick, the 49ers' attention span never seemed to exceed two games.
"I think it's pretty telling," said Michael Smith, host of "Numbers Never Lie" on ESPN2. "What it says is, there has to be a measure of consistency, and that has to start somewhere. The Niners have looked like worldbeaters one week, then like an OK team that can be exploited the next. Who can forget Sunday night in Seattle the week after they beat New England? And the David Akers thing hasn't gone away."
The struggling kicker has been a factor in the team's ups and downs, hitting only 29-for-42 this season -- a potential liability in postseason play. Akers was All-Pro last season, and San Jose numerologist Susan Moon says Sunday he will be having a day characterized by its "threeness," when his thoughts will focus on past glories. "This is a time ... to keep using the methods that worked for him in the past," Moon said, in a reading commissioned by this newspaper, "to discard what didn't work and implement a new approach or strategy."
That would probably be fine with coach Jim Harbaugh, whose two-year tenure has been marked by the absence of another kind of streak: His 49ers teams have never lost two in a row. He has accomplished this by making sure the players stay irritable with themselves after a loss.
"Usually when you're ticked off you're going to do one of two things," Harbaugh said. "You're going to come back and do something about it, or you go cower in the corner and shrivel up in the fetal position. So, come back, chest somebody up and let's do something about it."
Not just something. The third thing.

November 19, 2006
Yesterday the city of Thomson united at a local church to raise money for a little girl in need of her 37th major operation.
Nine-year-old Kieseonna Harris is living with EEC Syndrome, a rare genetic disorder with a lot of complications. So far she has endured 36 surgeries, and now she needs another to save her hearing.
Whether she's singing, cheering, dancing, or performing, Kieseonna gives it her all...and her mother and Springfield Baptist Church are working hard to make sure she has it all.
On Saturday, the entire Thomson community came together for more than just face painting, cotton candy and pony rides. The carnival was a fundraiser to raise money for the hearing implants Kieseonna needs.
"She's been through a lot in her life and we want to make sure she has it," said Rev. Favors of Springfield Baptist Church.
Rev. Favors and the Springfield Baptist youth group are helping Kieseonna's mom raise the $20,000 still needed for the $85,000 procedure.
"I'm really thankful, especially to have this many people come out to support my daughter. I'm just so happy, I can't thank them enough."
But the church says they have Kieseonna to thank.
"We are overjoyed to work so hard for that this little girl can really have a chance at life," said one church member.
And Kieseonna has proven she will fight for every chance she gets. She's endured six surgeries this year alone and is the only person in the state of Georgia living with her disease.
Her mother says it's her daughter's strength that gets her through.
"I'm supposed to be her backbone, but she's my backbone! I think we are a match made in heaven."
Over $3000 was raised at today's carnival, bringing the church's grand fundraising total to $10,100 dollars. $9900 is still needed before Kieseonna can get the implant surgery.
Anyone wanting to make a donation can do so by calling the SunTrust Bank in Thomson at (706) 595-0210.

Anne Waltner
Office Location: n/a
"I grew up on a family farm in a Mennonite community in southeastern South Dakota. There we learned the value of hard work, the importance of resolving differences compassionately, and our interdependence—both on our neighbors and on our planet. After completing a bachelor's degree from Goshen (IN) College with majors in piano and biology and a minor in Spanish, I moved to Mussoorie, India to teach Woodstock School. There, I rediscovered that living and "musicking" with others requires humility, discipline, perseverance, and the ability to truly listen—invaluable tools that continue to serve me well.
I returned to the US to pursue graduate study in solo piano performance at Chicago College of Performing Arts. From there I moved to Cleveland to complete a Doctor of Musical Arts degree and an Artist Diploma in collaborative piano performance at the Cleveland Institute of Music.I'm grateful that through the interweave of my upbringing, my experience outside the literal and figurative practice room, and my solo and collaborative musical training, I have assembled the sort of diverse toolbelt that equips me not only to appreciate divergent people and viewpoints, but to bring this varied perspective to my work with students. I'm honored to be on the music faculty of Eastern Mennonite University."
Pianist Anne Waltner has performed on four continents in numerous solo and collaborative roles. Currently assistant professor of music at Eastern Mennonite University, Anne is regarded both as a demanding teacher and a highly artistic performer. At EMU she coordinates the music theory sequence, the collaborative piano program, and teaches studio piano. She graduated from the Cleveland Institute of Music with a Doctor of Musical Arts degree and an Artist Diploma in collaborative piano, where she studied with Anita Pontremoli and Olga Radosavljevich. Anne received her Masters and Bachelor degrees in solo piano performance from Chicago College of Performing Arts with Ludmila Lazar, and Goshen (IN) College with Marvin Blickenstaff, respectively.

DOE and Interior Department to Deploy Clean Energy at National Parks
DOE and the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) are teaming up to deploy energy efficient and renewable energy technologies throughout the national park system, through the new Energy SmartPARKS program. The two agencies signed a Memorandum of Understanding on November 18 that commits them to contributing a total of $1 million in seed money for the program, with the intent of drawing additional private sector support. The Energy SmartPARKS program will include such efforts as conducting energy audits, retrofitting lighting, replacing windows and furnaces, upgrading meters and thermostats, purchasing electric utility vehicles, and studying the feasibility of installing wind power. An example is the recent exterior relighting of the White House and the Washington Monument, which achieved energy savings of 27%-50%. The new program Web site list 16 projects, including specific efforts at 14 sites. See the DOI press release and the National Park Service's Energy SmartPARKS program Web site.

Using QCAD v220.127.116.11
Have defined a layer with color red and line weight 0.35 mm
Working with the library and inserting a block leads to the result that the block has color red but *NOT* the line weight. The line weigt remains to Standard. If i break up the block, then it is changing to the line weight defined by the layer.
How can i use blocks with a line weight defined by the layer without breaking up each block?
Thanks in advance for your help.

SANTA CLARA -- Nate Montana was on the 49ers' practice field Wednesday trying to make a name for himself.
Well, a first name, anyway. That last name is pretty well established.
"It's like a blessing and a curse. You try to ignore, "Oh, that's Joe Montana's son,'" the quarterback said after the 49ers' workout for local pro prospects. "You just try to work and show them that you're a different player than your dad."
Nate Montana, 23, does not expect to be selected during the NFL Draft next week, figuring he's more likely to catch on as an undrafted free agent. The 6-foot-4, 215-pounder is also open to possibility of playing in the Arena Football League or in Canada. He just wants a shot.
Nate's younger brother, Nick, is a well regarded quarterback prospect who signed with Tulane and will be a junior in the fall after transferring from Mt. San Antonio College.
Nate Montana spent his senior season at West Virginia Wesleyan, the last of his four college stops. Because he attended De La Salle High in Concord, he was eligible to attend the 49ers' local pro day along with about 50 other draft hopefuls.
This was his first workout for an NFL team. It was also the first-ever visit to the Santa Clara facility for the son of the Hall of Fame quarterback.
"I love the Bay Area. It's a great, great place. I lived here and grew up here my whole life. In that aspect, it's awesome to be local," he said. "Coming back to where my dad played, you just have to put your head down and try to make your own name."
The Bay Area represents the closest thing to roots for a player coming off a nomadic collegiate career. Nate Montana was a backup at Pasadena City College, Notre Dame and the University of Montana before starting nine games during his senior season at West Virginia Wesleyan.
Nate finally got a chance to play at that Division II school, where he led the conference in passing yards (2,480) and touchdown passes (19). He was an honorable mention all-conference selection.
Jonas Jackson, the Bobcats head coach last season, said in a phone interview that Nate Montana was not the type to ride on his father's coattails.
"One of the first things I want to say is: That kid was an extremely hard worker. One day, he's going to be a great coach," Jackson said. "He watched a ton of film and asked a ton of questions. What he's doing, it's not because of his dad. He had his own love of the game."
Montana attempted at least 50 passes in seven of his games, completing 51.6 percent. His biggest game was against West Virginia State, when he threw for 432 yards and four touchdowns.
"He makes all the right reads. He's so fast at reading the field that he's on it before it happens," Jackson said. "A guy that works that hard only needs an opportunity."
In evaluating his performance, Montana said: "I'm just trying to come out here and compete with the other guys and show a team I can play."
Nate Montana understands that his NFL prospects are bleak. He was not among the 16 quarterbacks invited to the Scouting Combine and his performance at the NFL Regional Combine last week at Cowboys Stadium drew mixed reviews.
Nate said his dad has been most helpful in trying to prepare him for challenging road ahead.
"He's been really supportive. It's been great having him. He's been through the process." Nate said. "He opened my eyes to how cutthroat the business is. I know a little of what to expect."

SANTA CRUZ --- A reported rape on the UC Santa Cruz campus earlier this month was a hoax, UCSC police said Thursday.
The 21-year-old woman has admitted to campus police investigators that she staged the Feb. 17 attack, UCSC Police Chief Nader Oweis said.
The woman, who was visiting the campus, originally told police she was raped and physically assaulted shortly after noon that Sunday. The attack was alleged to have occurred in a remote part of campus.
Oweis said the investigation has been concluded and the matter will now go to the Santa Cruz District Attorney's Office for possible prosecution. The woman, who is not being identified at this time, could face criminal charges for making a false report.
"The report of this incident has very understandably created a deep sense of unease among UCSC students, staff, and faculty, as well as residents of the Santa Cruz area," Oweis said in a release Thursday.
The university has rescinded the $5,000 reward it had offered last week for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the alleged attacker.

In less than four weeks, registered voter property owners in the Lake Dillon Fire Protection District (LDFPD) will be asked to approve a 0.741 mill-levy property-tax increase, the first such request from the District in 11 years. The reasons are numerous, and have been well-documented in both the Summit Daily and in TABOR-mandated comments supporting ballot question 5A. As a retired career naval officer and a former volunteer firefighter and paramedic in Fairfax County, Va., please allow me to add yet another reason, one so aptly stated in the updated 1998 introduction to his 1972 book, "Report from Engine Co. 82" by Dennis Smith:
"They are regular human beings, like you or your neighbor. But something separates them from the norm, something I hope you'll discover in the pages of this book. In the end, what is most admirable about firefighters is their reliability: When they are called, they come."
Please support your Lake Dillon Fire-Rescue firefighters by voting "Yes" on ballot question 5A on Tuesday, Nov. 6th ... and thanks!

Hitler's Role in the Persuection of the Jews by the Nazi Regime: Electronic Version, by Heinz Peter LongerichTable of Contents
|<< 5. Hitler and the Antise...
|7. Hitler and the Pogrom... >
|List of abbreviations >>
6.1By the end of 1937, concurrent with the transition to an expansionist foreign policy, a new, more radical phase in the persecution of the Jews began. Priority was given to the goal of expelling the Jews from Germany; this was to be accomplished especially through further discrimination, use of direct violence and greater economic pressure.
6.2This more radical course was actually launched by the strongly antisemitic address given by Hitler at the Reich Party Congress in 1937.56 In this speech, he turned against, among other things, what he called - in what was typical for his antisemitic vocabulary - "Jewish-Bolshevist subversion" (jüdisch-bolschewistische Zersetzung); the causative organism of the "disease" (Krankheit) Bolshevism was "that international parasite of the Volk which for many centuries has spread in the world, reaching once again full destructive magnitude in our time".57
6.3On 30 November 1937 Goebbels recorded the following in his diary about a conversation with Hitler which had taken place the previous day:
Talked about the Jewish question for a long time... The Jews must disappear from Germany, yes out of all of Europe. That will take some time still, but it will happen and must happen. The Führer is firmly committed to this...58At the beginning of 1938 the Office for Foreign Affairs (Aussenpolitische Amt) of the NSDAP informed the German Foreign Office that Hitler had clearly declared himself in favour of Jewish emigration to Palestine.59
6.4In order to accelerate the expulsion of the Jews from Germany, a Reich-wide move to arrest Jews having a criminal record (even an insignificant one) began as early as the summer of 1938. Hitler frequently intervened directly in these "actions". He personally gave the order to include Jews in a general action against "asocials" as is clear from a note by the Director of the Jewish department of the SD (Security Service, Sicherheitsdienst) of the Nazi Party) of 8 June 1938.
In a discussion on 1 June 1938, with C (=Heydrich, P.L), it was confidentially pointed out that - on the orders of the Führer - asocial and criminal Jews should be arrested and used for the purpose of earth-moving work .60
6.5There also exists evidence that Hitler concerned himself with the details of the propaganda which accompanied the mass arrests. When in the course of the campaign against "asocials" and Jews Goebbels asserted in a speech that more than 3000 Jews had moved to Berlin - he did this for the purpose of stirring up antisemitic feelings - Heydrich complained to the Ministry of Propaganda about this inaccuracy. He then learned that Goebbels had used the incorrect figures "with the permission of the Führer".61
6.6Nonetheless, the arrests in the Reich capital degenerated: Goebbels`s ruthlessly kindled anti-Jewish excesses turned to riots by the Party base and threatened to endanger public order and led to critical reports in the foreign press. The excesses were put to an end "upon the Führer's order", as noted in a draft of a report of the Jewish Department of the Sicherheitsdienst.62
6.7On 24 August 1938, in a talk with Hitler, Goebbels once again confirmed that despite the break-up of the campaign he had Hitler's basic agreement for a further radicalisation of the persecution.63
We discuss the Jewish question. The Führer approves my procedures in Berlin. What the foreign press writes is insignificant. The main thing is that the Jews be pushed out. In 10 years they must be removed from Germany. But in the interim we still want to keep the Jews here as pawns.
6.8The last sentence already points to the fact that Hitler, in view of increased international tensions, was beginning to think of taking the German Jews as hostages. The German Jews would serve as pawns.
